Hi all, I'm on a 2 year old Moto X Pure with a battery that has become more and more of a liability. Things that used to drain 4-5% of my battery each morning are now taking 10-15% and it's getting worse instead of better. Tried factory resetting, clearing cache, etc. to no avail.
I'm interested in upgrading to something similar, but need to do it before a big trip in August.
The things I'm mostly interested in are:
1. Battery Life. That's the end all be all.
2. Comparable screen size. I can go slightly bigger or smaller.
3. Limited/No bloatware launchers. I hate TouchWiz and Samsung apps so much.
4. Durability. Nothing too fragile.
5. OS Upgrades. 1 update a year is weak sauce.
6. Capacity. 128GB is ideal, but 64 is at least feasible.
7. Camera. I don't care if it's better, just nothing worse.
8. European functionality. This used to be an issue, but it doesn't sound like it anymore? My last few phones have worked fine in Germany and Belgium via AT&T. Any red flags these days?
Is there anything coming soon that fits that? I like the Pixels, but find the screen to be a bit small. Plus, they aren't waterproof...at least officially. Is Moto still making new phones that use mostly vanilla Android? Any chance LG or some of the Chinese phones end up going vanilla or close to it?
