Which Mobile for a Potential Neophyte?

I think the Moto’s still get security patches which is enough for most purposes.

Sadly my last Moto G4 Play patch was  was in February 2017… and it already feels sluggish.

Thank you to all who shipped in with ideas.

Yes I have looked at Prime and the various offers. Many of them are for the Italian or Polish versions of the machine I was considering and the UK version price is very much the same as the good down the road price, which at one point was actually lower. I do not have to make a final choice today in fact probably not until closer to the end of the month so I will keep looking. After my Moto experience I have become wary, I used the same Nokia for about 10 years with no question of updates, the ‘New World Phone Order’ is thus a little alien and I am wary of jumping into another crocodile pit. The Honor 9 looks to be another interesting option at about the same price point, perhaps I should try a bit more consultation time with the potential user. Unfortunately too many sleepless nights, the effects of her treatments and the withdrawal of some treatment for other ailments to avoid conflicts during the chemo have not made life any easier.

Yes that looks interesting though a shade more expensive than some but might come with advantages to offset the price, thank you.
