Did I make the wrong choice?

Had a Moto G 2nd Gen (awesome phone bar the massive cracked screen) I had a choice between Experia M4 and the Moto G 3rd Gen. Choose the M4 but now I think I made a mistake. The phone is glitch, apps randomly crash and restart (google music play to name one) almost all device data storage is gone (even when I've moved all installed apps to my 32GB SD card) can't find certain photos/movies because the phone makes new folders (just going through FK File Command gives me a brain aneurysm with all it's complexities) Truelly a smart should not be this dumb. I've already factory reset like 3 times, no wonder people are so mental these days. The US President isn't allowed a smartphone because of security risks, I think the secret service wants to save his sanity...

As you are probably aware, Google is trying to kill the SD card and you can move fewer apps to the SD card and even doing so, its only part of the app, with that said, indeed both the M4 and G 3rd generation have quite small limited internal storage.

The google music issue, will have to be addressed by Google music developers, or if I misread please elaborate.

The Camera folder should be

SD card/Internal storage > DCIM > 100andro for regular pictures, if you use another camera setting then it'll be on the Xperia folder.

Thank-you for the hasty reply. Why is google phasing out the use of SD cards when on-board storage is so minuscule? Are they try to get everyone to you the storage services in their "cloud-clone"? If so, not everyone has access to the internet (I know it's sad but true)

If you check their Nexus devices they lack SD card support bc they want you to buy phones with larger internal storage, back in the days, apps to SD card was a great feature but then Google killed it after ICS and it was "resurrected" not too long ago but as you can see it's not ideal nor Google has explained the reasoning behind it.
