I'll echo the Moto X 2014 or Moto G 2015 as very good choices on the Android front. They do "just work." Same for the Moto E, albeit without a higher-resolution screen or usable camera. On the WP front, I'd imagine the Lumia 640/735 or something in that range would be a good choice for you...

It really depends on the site. This site and Mobile Nations' sites are horrid on IE on 8.1, but seem much improved, for me at least, in Edge in 10166 preview build. Still, that 400 processor is a bit of a killer. It's a real shame that it couldn't get bumped to a 410, which has a greater...

The Moto X Pure Edition (aka the Moto X Style) will work on all US carriers. The Moto G will only work on GSM carriers with the model that's currently available.

As someone who has devices in both camps, I can say that the Moto G is really an excellent value. It's performance (on the 2gb ram/16gb storage model I have) is absolutely excellent. Battery life is good and I find the camera to be good, but the 928 will absolutely be superior in low light. Not...

I've seen HUGE improvements in mobile Chrome over what it used to be way back when. I have a Moto E LTE sitting here, and yeah the processor is a little better (Snapdragon 410 vs 400 found in 640/XL) and web browsing is *much* better. I sincerely hope that Edge works some magic in W10Mobile.

The UI generally is, but web pages are another matter entirely. These p[hones still have mid-range-at-best processors, so they can only handle so much so well, and web browsing is generally a chore on Android phones with similar chipsets. Regardless of platform, the higher end the CPU the...

Re: My tablet is a brick Have you tried restoring 8.1 via a clean install on USB? Then upgrade to 10 from there.

It hasn't been too bad at all for me when I've used it. The 640 is one of my backup devices, though, so someone else on here would need to comment on its daily driver ability for this current build (note: a new build is expected soon-ish).

That ZTE is absolute hot garbage and nobody should touch it unless seeking to destroy it.

So I went to the MS Store and bought another one with a flip case. Because, ya know, why not. Main gripe about the flip case: no magnets, so no real protection from falls. Weak. Picking up the one with the cracked screen, I dunno. It's not that bad. It's one single crack all the way across...

Looks like one of the dogs came by and got caught in the usb cable as the 640 was charging. Sigh. I might just sell it as-is and buy another one. Dunno.

Well that didn't last long. Came home from work and found my 640 on the floor next to the nightstand. Goodbye, screen. Goodbye, old friend. Posted via the Windows Central App for Android

Oh, I agree entirely. Like I said, I own both. I just think *if* the conversation of phone vs. phone, at large, comes up, then comparable variants should be compared. Everyone like what you want to like. Like it, live it, I say.

Not sure about pricing globally. Didn't mean to be US-centric, but comparing the 1gb/8gb unlocked 640/G 2015 models available, they're comparable. $179 for the G, ~$175 for the 640 via Expansys.

Included charger with the GoPhone version is horrible. I don't know what the max amperage at which the 640 charges, but I'd bet it's a lot more than the 750mah output the included charger gets (at least if I'm remembering it correctly).
