Which is the best Moto phone?

The best Moto phone for you will depend on a number of factors, including budget and what features you care about the most.

For example, if you want battery life, the Moto G7 Power is a fantastic option, while if you want a super wide 21:9 aspect ratio display, you'll want to be looking at the Moto One Vision or Moto One Action. If you only have £100, then you'll need to be looking at the Moto E range.
