So I'm pretty much stuck in the middle here..first off I'm a Verizon customer and has had an upgrade due since January and my brother is on at&t.. So my problem here is I want to get a new phone lol. If I stay on Verizon I'm gonna get the droid DNA but if I make the switch to at&t I'll be getting the lg optimus g now both phones are awesome both about the same specs.and because of that I'm having trouble deciding which to get? Should I stay with Verizon and use my upgrade for the DNA or should I go to at&t and get the optimus g?
Pls any help on helping me decide here..but pls don't say "just wait for.." Or "I'd wait for.." I wouldn't be in this situation if I wanted to wait for a certain device.I'm for sure on both phones just don't know which to get

Just to update: I think Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 (lavender, Snapdragon 660, 3/4-32/64/128GB shared mSD, 4000mAh, 6.3" 1080p) might be the best "cheap modern" device for Android 10 / LinOS 17 - at least I do not know of a newer Snapdragon Custom Rom device available for under €150
Compare/see also The best phones for LineageOS:
Moto G7 Plus, Snapdragon 632, 4/64GB (+microSD), 3000mAh, 6.2" 1080p ~€250
Xiaomi Mi A2, Snapdragon 660 4/64GB, 3010mAh, 6" 1080p ~€230
Zenfone 6, Snapdragon 855, 6/8GB, 5000mA, 6.4" 1080p ~seems unavailable
OnePlus 7 Pro, Snapdragon 855, 6-12GB, 128/256GB, 4000mAh, 6.67" 1440p ~€540
I looking for ROMs for the rs988. Really want wifi calling on TMobile. Just a stock Tmobile ROM for the rs988 would be fine. Are any available?
I hope someone shows up to help you out with it.
I feel bad (being an owner of RS988) after seeing the way this phone is treated by LG and developers alike.
[OFFICIAL][7.1.2] Resurrection Remix 5.8.4 with OMS just added support for it on yesterdays build
I was just looking at phones and saw an unlockable G5 at a great price. Disappointed to see so little support for it.
Really need to support these devices so they are popular and continue to be offered.
They G6 looks to have more support, though not great either and twice the price.
Hi guys,
I am looking at getting a new phone and I narrowed it down to those 2 phones: "Motorola Moto G4 Plus or Motorola Moto G5" The reason why I was looking at the Moto G4 Plus and not Moto G5 Plus is because I can get Moto G4 Plus cheaper than the newer model.
My reasearch shows that that the Moto G4 Plus has better spec in most areas (gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8050&idPhone2=8454&idPhone3=8687) but my main concern is that the battery is not removeable and Android 8 won't be supported on Moto G4 Plus.
I have also considered the LG K8 as well but I hear that they have issues with boot loop. I also looked at the Huawei Y7 but I see that that phone won't get Android 8 as well.
Is there any reasons not to get the Moto G4 Plus in general?
Thank you

There's no reason not to buy the G4 plus in general. It's a very good phone for a cheap price and I would buy it again. If you're not sure, there's already a thread to search and ask if you're not sure https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846277
Also the G4 plus will get Android Oreo, that's confirmed by motorola: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-getting-android-o-t3576948
