There’s pretty good reason to avoid Motorola. It’s just not great value. Getting a 6th gen Pixel a-series will give you a device with a 5-year software lifespan. Moto on the other hand abandons their devices as soon as they can. The Pixel might not be the same price but when on sale it could be pretty close. I used to recommend Moto to people who couldn’t or didn’t want to spend much on a smartphone. These days I tell them to find a cheap Pixel a-series instead.
