I've outgrown my Moto-G Android phone. It's good as far as it goes. I think it has something like 8 GB of memory, but that's clearly not enough. I went to install some new apps and it complained that it did not have enough memory. I figured no big deal -- I'll just buy microSD card and plug it in for more memory. However, when I took the protective case thing off, I found no memory card slot. #$%^.
I'm wondering if I can find an inexpensive solution by maybe finding a used Android at a pawn shop or online, but I want to make sure I don't mess up and get hosed. I know a ton about PCs, laptops, etc., but honestly not that much about phones. I do know that I can just use my normal gmail login to reinstall all the apps I've bought at Google Play. However, can I simply port my existing Simm card over to the replacement Android and keep going? Also, how do I find out how much memory an Android has? Obviously, that's extremely important, as is an expansion card slot. The biggest mistake I made when buying the MotoG was not making sure it had an expansion card slot.
One more thing: Once you've plugged in a microSD card, is it very hard to direct your Android to install new apps there? How about telling it to put new photos you take there?
Do you think I'll be able to find a used Android that will be an upgrade for me or am I better off just biting the bullet and buying new?
