re: Best smartphone for $200

Well I'm sure as hell not getting a flagship device for $200 so I think I can overlook some things.
I have an actual PC for gaming so the phone doesn't see anything fancier than puzzle games. How did the battery life compare to your old Moto X? That's my biggest complaint currently but some of that is probably just from having a two year old battery, so I'm curious if your Moto X was as bad as mine was (I get maaaaybe 2-3 hours of screen time)

I wasn't using my X all that heavily, I would usually have about 2 hours SOT and end the day around 20-30%. But once I got it on 5.1, it was weird, I would just always end the day with that much battery. I would plug it in at around 25% whether I had 2.5 hours or 1 hour, didn't matter. Definitely weird, but I wasn't using it enough to kill it, so I wasn't concerned.
This battery on the G is awesome though, better than most $600+ flagships. I can't overstate that. If that's your biggest concern, you won't be disappointed with this phone.
EDIT: just remembered one little hiccup I had. The G uses a MicroSim, X used a nano. You'll need an adapter, but you can get them on amazon for less than $5. And if you go that route, DON'T put the empty adapter in the phone, because the hole where the sim card goes will snag the pins and potentially break them. If you put the adapter in, make sure the card is in it. I didn't do this, but I heard stories
