So I have finally sorted my new phone out. It was surprisingly 
painless with Google's back up managing to set the layout exactly like 
the last one and installing most apps. The biggest issue was copying 
my podcasts across and that was mostly down to having to find the 
folder for Pocket Casts. I have been happy with the phone. I should 
be.... it is just a slightly more modern chip set since the last one. 
My main annoyances has been with the addition of a dedicated google 
assistant button which is above the volume and power button. It means 
everything is off what I am used to. It sort of makes the power button 
easier to reach with my little hands which is good. I can get used to 
this even if it annoys me that I cannot map the button to something 
useful. The other annoyance is having the speaker on the bottom of the 
phone. I keep covering it. Thankfully the volume is pretty damn loud 
on the Moto G30 compared to the G7. All in all, I am pretty happy with 
it and I am sure it will do what I want for a fair number of years. 
Unless I crack the screen again that is!!
