oops...just realize that...actually i use search function...i search for "xperia ray" ..this topic come up 1st so ending up asking here...never realize that this is android section... doh.gif

usage:

normal usage...light gaming...music player...
*
Lol it's alright.

Ermm, all 3 second hand right? Since new 1 isn't within your budget. Also, u plan to use for long term or short term?

If short term, 3Gs cuz it has the best resale value. If long term, lumia 710 is overall better but currently lack of apps. Also, I think even 2nd hand isn't within your budget. So I guess it's xperia ray for long term.

Also, do check out video reviews as these 3 are running on different OS.

Oh, sorry as this is Android section sweat.gif

guys, budget around RM1900. should i get Sony xperia S or any other phones? any recommendations?

That's the best. Other alternatives would be Motorola RAZR, samsung galaxy s2 non-G (AP set) and HTC sensation XE. If can wait then wait for HTC one X or Huawei ascend D quad around April/May. thumbup.gif

Thanks guys! happy.gif

Below rm1800? If im not wrong, the most expensive Huawei phone which is Honor just cost rm999. And yeah. I could say Huawei phone batt life is amazing. - Ex Ideos X5 user.  blush.gif

Btw,Thanks for recommndation.

Can consider HTC evo 3D or 2nd hand HTC sensation. But camera sure can't beat arc S...

QUOTE(antoniov @ Mar 19 2012, 10:17 PM)
Wanna ask. I'm planning to an android phone with the budget of rm 400 - rm 500.

I'm going to choose between these two models. SE W8 or SE mini.

Is it worth adding rm 100 to get mini instead of w8?

Mini has better camera(5MP instead of 3.2MP). More storage and ram.

Mini has adobe flash support while W8 doesnt have right?

1 GHz on mini while 600 mhz on W8.

TQ.
*
Yes, go for xperia mini. Much better than W8, price difference also not that much. thumbup.gif

Oh actually why dun u just get the arc /arc S and if the crack occurs, claim warranty? blink.gif

Guys need ur help, i wanna buy android phone for my wife. Whats the best android phone in the market now? The most important thing is battery life must at least able to last 1 day without charging from heavy call use. Also must have accessories that can charge in car.

Now is Sony xperia S. But in a short time (30th march maybe?) HTC one X will be the best, maybe Huawei ascend D quad also.

Dear all Sifus...

New to this forum and would like to ask for recommention...

1. Brand.
- HTC/SAMSUNG/LG drool.gif
2. Budget.
- Around 1k something.. rolleyes.gif
3. Specs. (Ram/Proc/Camera's MP/Screen size)
- 1.0Ghz and above/Big screen/5MP and above camera hmm.gif
4. What you need in the phone
- I'm a gamer which will use phone alot... what I require is the phone less lagging, battery last longer... icon_idea.gif
Hope to receive recommention from all sifus... notworthy.gif
*
Since you're a gamer, better get dual core ones to be safe. Motorola atrix / atrix 2, HTC evo 3D and LG optimus 2x <only if u flash to a custom ROM(might void warranty) cuz its stock ROM is buggy)> are your choices. Also can wait for Sony xperia U. nod.gif

Edit: Uh sorry sorry, I forgot about SE xperia play. Play station certified although running on single core biggrin.gif .

Edit again: Sorry I forgot to tell u that optimus 2x got poor battery life(if I'm not mistaken). U can get a spare batt/extension to solve this though.

Android battery life wont last..

Huawei honor then, but single core. Galaxy W's battery life is still alright actually. Uh I forgot to tell u that optimus 2x got poor battery life (if I'm not mistaken), u can get a spare battery/extension to solve this though.

XE? Around 16xx for ori set, AP maybe 1.4/1.5k.
Other alternatives are Samsung galaxy s2 / galaxy nexus (both AP set) which are better.

HTC one X is coming out even earlier than S3 laugh.gif

got 2 bad experience from HTC before and though they are real manufacturer but they dont understand customer's need... product wise i mean..
and the design didnt differ much. just take the design from desire up to newest HTC one you can see.
last time HTC hero was good but after that is not mcuh improvement...
sgs3 might come out mid year with the olympic games...

What bad experiences u had?

hello guys, i really tempted to get a sony xperia s but htc one x is coming soon. so the question is sony xperia is powered by 1.5 dual-core while htc one x is powered by 1.5 quad-core, what's the difference actually?

This is my first android phone and my main usage will be web surfing and im not really into gaming. so i think xperia s is enuff for my main usage right?

Faster processor = faster web browsing. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. unsure.gif

1. Brand: Preferably Samsung but open to others
2. Budget: Below RM1k
3. Specs: Should be fairly recent with decent specs
4. What you need in the phone: Stability out of the box - no crashing, no random reboots etc.

Hi guys, I need a recommendation for an Android phone for the wifey, I have narrowed it down to either the Galaxy W or the newer Ace Plus. Looking at the specs, I'm leaning towards the Galaxy W, but the Ace Plus is the more recent model and she likes the iPhone-like shape. Price difference between these 2 won't be that much I guess.
She won't be bothered to upgrade the firmware and such.

Any opinions on these models (or others) are very much appreciated.
*
Galaxy W is definately better than ace plus. But just go for wat she likes la, as long as she's happy smile.gif .
Those crash/random reboots might happen after some time, maybe just once awhile.

usage : internet browsing , gaming and customize phone the with custom rom

right now atrix 2 in my mind ...izit a good choice ??

If I'm not mistaken, Motorola phones still have a locked bootloader so it would be harder to mod it. I suggest HTC sensation / evo 3D biggrin.gif.

why evo 3d out? mind describe how bad is it?

It's not bad at all, just that u might get bored with the 3D effect but it's still a good phone + pretty good price even without the 3D so just treat the 3D effect as a bonus biggrin.gif.

Between those I suggest galaxy nexus AP set, if must be ori then XE.

QUOTE(hungryheart @ Mar 30 2012, 05:25 AM)

Added on March 30, 2012, 5:29 am1. Brand - HTC / others
2. Budget - RM900-RM1200
3. Specs - ICS and dual core
4. What you need in the phone - multitasking
*
1.3k AP set.

At your budget I suggest Motorola atrix (might get ICS a lil late, Q3 maybe..not sure) or wait for Sony xperia U / Samsung galaxy ace 2.
