Best phone to upgrade from the moto g 2014? - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need some help with deciding my next phone under £200? I wished the 5x was in that range
Thanks
Louis

Get yourself a Xiaomi redmi 3 or redmi note 2 or 3, can't go wrong. Just watch out for LTE connectivity.

Project Fi questions.

Not exactly sure where to place this since it's basically about Project Fi not just Nexus 6, but I would like to know what other phones can be used on the Project Fi.
Users have reported success transferring an already activated Project Fi sim to a nexus 5 (2013) completely working. Little is discussed on this since the release of marshmallow officially but it seems very intriguing. People have also posted success on:
Sony Xperia Z5 Compact (but no details)
If you have a phone that supports Tmobile and Sprint and can test its capabilities per above on Project Fi, please post it here! I would love to know if any of these known phones can work on a pre-activated Project Fi sim. These are just a few candidates,
Moto G 2015 (3rd gen) - has full Tmobile/Sprint and Band 12 for VoLTE potential - XT1548
Moto X Style - Full tmobile / partial sprint and band 12 potential
Moto E 2nd gen (Sprint version) - ?full tmobile / full sprint (obviously) and band 12 potential
HTC One A9 (sprint version) - released Nov 6th. Full tmobile and sprint and band 12 potential - also on marshmallow.
LG G Flex 2 -LS996 full Tmobile and sprint and band 12.
LG tribute 2 LS665 - Full tmobile and ?sprint and band 12
Huawei P8 L09 - full tmobile and sprint and band 12 - ?marshmallow soon
.... any of the Iphones ... but who cares?
And any you can think of I can not.
If you have a project fi sim and any of these phones please list out your experience,
Coverage - Tmobile and/or sprint
Wifi calling - useable (?native with marshmallow)
VoLTE service?
Any quirks you've come across!
Thanks in advance,
Rico
I believe the phone has to have a special Qualcomm modem to work properly with project fi

No "I believe" or "I think"
Sources please.
Also, that describes most of the phones on this list
Thanks

Fi only supports 3 phones at this time: Nexus 6, Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P:
Why is Project Fi only available on the Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X and Nexus 6?
These devices are the first smartphones that supports our network of networks. They work with the Project Fi SIM card, which supports multiple cellular networks, and a state-of-the-art cellular radio tuned to work across network types.

Thats what I mean from my post above, not helpful Diphtheria ... obviously the Nexus 5 (2013) as well as others have been comfirmed working, which arent on that site.
Please be helpful if replying.

Interesting, Im trying to find info on the Moto X Pro - China variant? It may not have Tmobile (and likely not sprint) LTE bands.
Thanks
Rico
Interesting, some more info,
This guy states his moto x 2014 (verizon) works on project fi - data and calling. No mention of wifi calling. Phone doesnt have Volte. I imagine it uses tmobile only - no sprint coverage.

Moto X - pure edution - xt1575
Full TMobile/sprint and VoLTE capable. not on marshmallow yet.

NFC

I have read a few reviews stating that there is no NFC on the g5s plus? Is this true for UK versions?
Also what's the camera like? Is it better than the X play?

Hello,
I think it has NFC: https://m.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g5s_plus-8699.php#xt1803
Mine is XT1802 and it has NFC.
And you can compare both: https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8699&idPhone2=7454#xt1803,*

US model (XT1806) does not appear to have nfc, which is kind of a drag, but not really a big thing, unless you use android pay or something like that.

Replacing K20 Pro with Mi 9T Pro, can't find 8GB version

As the title says, I'm trying to replace my current device, a K20 Pro 8/128 with a same specs Mi 9T Pro but can't find any store who has in stock an 8GB version. Reason of doing this is because in my country (Mexico) 4G is exclusively LTE Band 4 which K20 Pro doesn't have. Got mine through AliExpress, can't find it there though, any idea where I could get it?
I got mine from eGlobal Central US. Try there.
Authenticated online.
Only thing I keep having issues with is FOD so I would check that when you get the phone.

Thanks, although I can see prices there are a bit higher of what I expected to cash out
