All the Moto phones we've had generally had excellent cellular
performance. The last one I had was a Moto RAZR MAXX HD, which also
worked great, and was (IIRC) a 4 band so-called "world phone"; supported
LTE, CDMA, GSM, EVDO, and LMNOP (or was it EIEIO?).
Saddly, the battery melted down one night, and bent the case so badly, I
had to replace it. It still works, but it sure looks funny. I think I
dealt it the fatal blow when I had it in my pocket while playing Frisbee
with my nephew. It had a bent case ever after.
My latest phone is a Nexus 6P, and I think I like it even better. The
screen is bigger, brighter, and has way more pixels. Processor(s) are
way faster, and it runs a "pure" version of Android. Unfortunately, the
battery is also built in, and I may be having the same issue a
(hopefully) few years down the road. We shall see. The case seems a bit
stiffer than the RAZR MAXX, but it's also bigger. Not quite the svelte
thing in my pocket, but it works. OBTW, the cell service works very well
too (mostly LTE these days).

We had Note 5s, and had nothing but issues with their 4G
connectivity. We exchanged phones multiple times. HD calling didn't
work at all. We finally disabled HD calling to keep the calls from
chopping up, but then I couldn't use the Internet while on the phone.
After a year of this we were stoked to get the Note 7. We took them
back the day that we received them These Samsung phones have the
worst 4G signal of any phone I have ever used. We ended up going with
the Moto Z Force. I have been happy with the change, but I miss the
stylus. It just isn't worth it for the almost -10db loss that they have.

Both charging and use elevate the battery temperature (at
least for lithium ion). I have an app that monitors the
battery state in more detail than the standard built-in
battery level indicator, and it also shows the battery
temperature. It definitely goes up when in use, and when it's
charging.

Does use or charging heat the battery, causing the short?
Or could they just short out any time and burst into flames?
