Motorola Moto G (2026)
Backup phone on a small budget

If you buy through a link here, the store pays me a small commission. Your price stays exactly the same. How that works.
My short take
It scored 16.8 hours in GSMArena's active-use test, but GSMArena says the main camera has focus issues and the phone is sluggish, and it has no IP rating. I'd buy it as a cheap backup phone and not as anyone's only camera.
