    I wouldn’t recommend a motorola because of the software. I have a g60s and it’s not really stable. Every once in a while it reboots and then gets stuck on the boot screen, drains the battery. The UI is also buggy: app switching from the recents view may not work, the quick network selection screen may get stuck. Also, some very specific colours flicker. A developers option makes it go away but the option turns itself off after some time.

        Moto g60s is also a cheap model and it’s over 3 years old now. Unlikely that I’ll ever receive another update as the last one was in august 2023. At least I can unlock the bootloader but that doesn’t help much bc there are no other roms for it.

          Alternatively, you could try to install a GSI instead of a fully custom built ROM, that’s how I got a custom rom back when I had a Samsung A03 Core. But even then, the way android is locked down on each device along the absurdly short support Motorola offers is really infuriating.
