The Motorola phones have the reputation of having a better antenna which is why I had my motoX. I spend a good bit of time in a mountainous area where the signal is marginal which was the reason I originally purchased the Motorola. I do think Motorola phones are a lot of phone for the reasonable price. My choice will probably be motorola or Samsung if I can get everything in the iPhone transferred to an android phone. The new Samsung phones have great cameras. Thanks for all your input.
