Was just about to buy the new Moto G7 plus, when I saw a couple of recent deals here on the Nokia 7 plus.

The Nokia is older but with better CPU and GPU. Might get Android q. Won't get anything after that.

The Moto is new, will likely get Android q and r, but has lesser GPU and CPU.

I need NFC. $400 is the right amount.

Is there an easy answer to 'which one to buy'?

Thanks

  i don't think moto 7 will get android r, given their poor support history

  their flagship g5S+ released late 2017, won't get pie at all

  even their g6 still on oreo, only getting pie in these coming months

  i bet they won't give the Q to g6 either

    Hmmmm…. I have the g5 plus and the Moto updates have been appalling. That said, the phone has been great and the recent update from n to o didn't really add anything special. Am I overly concerned about updates that don't do much? Should I get the more powerful one that's a year older? Aaarrrrhhhggggg :-P

      i think it's the on-going security updates/patches that you should be concerned of

    Yep.
    But the Nokia 7 Plus came to Australia a little late and with a price markup, so it's not a great deal.

    I would say an ex-flagship like the (Q1/2016) Samsung Galaxy S7-Exynos, LG G6, SONY XZ1, HTC U11 and Huawei 9 Honor (Q4/2017)… are probably better devices overall.

    So if I were you I would be looking at that demographic instead for value, or look at current flagships for something more luxurious/fleshed-out.

      nah id still take the Nokia 7 plus if local brand new is what you're after.

      you'd have to buy used for those 2016 flagships
      rather get this in that case

  Also would go with Nokia 7 plus if you can get it sub $400 excellent deal!

  Just brought a Nokia 7 Plus, although you will need Nova Launcher and AOLED but speed is faster than my old G6 and the Camera is better too.

  I got my Dad G5 plus and it has been OK with him as he is just a average user.

  My nokia 7 plus has just started rebooting after 3 minutes of fast charge. Realling irritating.
