Is there an up-to-date equivalent of the Moto E?
I dropped my Swift and buggered it up so I'm looking for a replacement. I'd actually prefer a screen smaller than 5", despite what I've said previously about small screens.
The only decent 4.5" android phone I can think of is the Moto E, but that's stuck on Lollipop and won't be getting any more updates. Windows phones are a no-go, and I can't afford the iPhone SE. |

You can pick the moto E 4G version up for around £65, and it will run android 6.0 after an update.
I've got one as a back up as my main phone is showing its age (internal damage) and i'' pleasantly surprised by the moto E, its not the fastest but in terms of bang for buck it seems quite good. Plus if it does get to a point where i want to update beyond the official firmware then there's always XDA to turn to for advice. |

The Sony Z Compact series are very good, you could get a secondhand Z1 Compact for not much more than an E2, and the Z3 Compact isn't much bigger. Not had the Z5 version but guess that's similar size.
Shame there's not many good compact Android phones any more since the demise of the Z compacts, I prefer smaller phones too. |
