How do you deal with the storage problem, though? I don't mind the missing features or the thick build, but the fact that I basically have about 600MB of free space to play in for apps is killing me. Google Photos has a pathetic churning cycle where it downloads photos from my online google account and then complains that it's out of space and needs to delete them... and then does it again, all without ever having been run.

Pretty sure you can use a microsd card?

  Very little can be moved to it.

    Indeed. I have this problem with my S4 right now - I can't install anything anymore, because something (apparently the OS; INB4 yes, I've checked the obvious things like data caches) grew to take most of it, and I'm stuck at ~500MB free. Most apps can't even be moved to SD card, and those that can be only get moved partially.

      In general, it's insane that 16gb is not considered the bare minimum for Android today considering the terrible experience you get with 8.

The Moto E at least supports moving "supported" apps to the SD card. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for the Google apps. But I can squeeze in Firefox Beta, an epub reader, and the Google apps so I'm fine with the internal storage.
