I was on same boat as yours. Confused between RN3 & MG4+ . I ended up ordering MG4+ & also an MI5, expecting the delivery of both soon. My short list was RN3, and it is a wonderful phone in all sense, but opted for MG4+ for preference of camera & stock android updates. Though not a hybrid sim slot, i think it is only dual standby. The extra micro SD card, u can only use it as media storage (cannot move apps) or u can merge it as extended internal storage (in this case, the card is encrypted by the device & i think even photos, or any data cannot be read by other devices, not sure how reliable that is in case of changing phone in future & if datas can be recovered easily during damages).

Both are good phones with their ups & down. Best thing when u are confused after short listing 2 phones, stick your mind to one & order it. I opted for MG4+ over RN3 even when i heard lot of heating issues etc for i am not some one preferring this phone for games etc

go for moto g4 plus you won't regret it, but i heard though it has 5.5inch screen it does feel like 5 or 5.2inch screen.

i had already short listed it - your confirmation of my choice is re assuring . However a have heard of nagging issues like overheating , lack of magnetometer etc , a rather outdated soc .. that keeps me worried

yup, for me lack of magnetometer is deal breaker, because i use GPS a lot nowadays.
