One plus 3T is little over your budget but it is worth it.

Is it worth it to wait for the upcoming Moto X4?

I won't get my hopes up. Doesn't looks much of an upgrade from G5s+.
Lenovo has ruined Motorola.

I absolutely agree with you on that one. Lenovo is making me stay away from Moto altogether. I felt X4A1 will make a difference that's why I'm having second thoughts. Any chance OP5 price will fall just a bit that I could get my hands on it with a little extra savings?

And G5S+ thoughts?

OP5 won't be going on discount anytime soon. I'd pick Mi A1 over G5s+ unless I wanted somewhat better camera and faster charging.

I'm thinking of throwing my old phone for exchange and squeezing OP5 within my budget. What are the cons I should be considering if I'm going for OP5?

No SD card slot. Possible jelly scrolling effect.

Thank you for the suggestions. I've settled with OP5. Hopefully I don't get a phone with jelly scrolling. :emoji_fingers_crossed:
