If you're already a consumer of Amazon's services, you can get a Moto 5 Plus for a pretty reasonable price. It isn't a flagship phone, but it does everything I need it to, and at a price I can afford to replace (if it gets broken). I really like what Moto is doing with their software on the main button on the phone. It is a fingerprint reader like so many others, but if you set it up you can use it as a home button, a la iPhone. If you swipe left it goes back, if you swipe right it opens your app switcher, and if you do a long press it locks your phone. They've also used the gyro scope to give you easy access to things like the flashlight (two chopping motions), camera (twist your wrist while holding the phone), etc.
If it weren't for the fact that Motorola is now owned by Lenovo, that might be a good option. I've confirmed that my Moto G4+ has the same issues/malware/spying going on as the rest of the Lenovo ecosystem. Just don't do it!
How did you confirm that?
Edit: Not asking to be combative, I want to check my Motos.
Mostly because I'm seeing the same sort of random network breakage that @scottalanmiller saw with the yoga. Apps that just work anywhere else, just don't on a Motorola phone. I haven't actually did any packet sniffing, but that's mostly because I don't know what to look for.
I also get the phone doing just random actions. I'm not doing anything, but something is taking control of the thing.
Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.
