Which Motorola Phone Should You Buy?

everybody around me is holding phones where the tax on theiers, was more than the purchase price on my hinky wall mart purchased, motorola. The motorolas have a plastic case, that seams to provide drop protection on a very good level, so nice slim, big screen, does all the things, $90can with a rebate. It plays nice with a linux lap top. camera is not great is the one thing that would push me to another phone, but not at the cost of feature bloat and a more fragile phone, requiring a case.....physical bloat sure wish that it was possible to buy components and build a "phone" , as there is nothing availible anywhere at any price, that would do the "simple" things I would put it to

I went through two Motorola phones in a row before my current phone and they were both good for the money. I just hated how quickly they stopped getting security updates. Have some 1+ model now and it's probably also going to stop getting security updates before I have a problem with the hardware. I do miss the movement sensor way of opening the camera and turning on the flashlight from Motorola models.

Samsung has this too (they call it Samsung Dex IIRC), very neat out-of-the-box I've discovered by accident. Plugged my phone for charging into colleague's monitor's usbc cable and there it was as you describe.

Given we have absolutely brutal internet blocking at work when half of even technical sites are blocked, I could suddenly browse whole internet on a desktop, not breaking any policies. Just one nitpick - it wasn't native resolution (3840x1600 is maybe too high), wasn't sure if this could be changed.

I cannot ever buy any Motorola phones anymore because I legitimately fear they will not fit into my pocket anymore. This is a rant, but I am so sad. Motorolas were my go-to Android phones in times of the G4. But now, every new phone is >6.6". And I don't get it. I mean, I know, most manufacturers are going a similar (but IMO not this aggressive) route. But why? I already have a laptop. I want a mobile phone. And I want to use one hand to use it. And it should fit into my pocket. I just am so confused about this development. Rant over.
