Hi guys, I'm looking to get my first android phone. Saw a LG Optimus 2X at garage sales RM1000 (AP). I'm going to use it for mostly internet browsing and run some apps and games(nothing too hardcore). Can this phone last me a year with it's ICS? Or it's going to lag terribly?

Or should I consider Sensation and Atrix 2 as well? Those are about RM 1100-1200 (AP).

Was eyeing a HTC One S, since it's specs seems future proof but not out yet. Nexus at RM 1400 (AP) not bad too.. Ahh.. choices  laugh.gif

Anyway for now need some opinion on the Optimus 2X first. Enough support for future?  biggrin.gif

Tegra 2 seem like the weakest dual core among all . And Lg doesnt utilize it also .

1.2Ghz scorpion dual core seem ok to me .

Vote for sensation .

Atrix 2 also better than 2x same processor with galaxy nexus . But HTC got better suport at malaysia so i choose sensation .

Not say not good. Its probably a entty level on 2012. About galaxy w spec

on the other hand , xperia U is quite good as it featuring dual core STE 8500 processor with DB8500

Indeed , there is no android that meet xperia arc camera quality at the price range .

Actually , even with higher budget , xperia arc camera still one of the best .

I'm using Galaxy Ace GB 2.36, thinking of custom rom it to support flash player,which rom is most stable & how? Thanks.....

Changing rom doesnt change ur processor which is armv6 architecture which doesnt suport flash on browser .

There is flash player for armv6 which doesnt need any custom rom but it wont even play 360p video in ur browser .

Hi wanna ask..
Is xperia mini good??
S im intend to use it as mp3 player
n also as wifi modem..

Does this phone bass similar to sony nwz mp4??
Thinking of getting a used set under rm300..
*
xperia mini is the best low range android phone .

Rm300 left how long warranty ? The new set is RM400+ only and with free gift .

If mainly for music then live with walkman is better .

My mom ask me whether Samsung Galaxy Y is good or not... She want it for herself...

She's not tech savvy, and I know she won't fully utilize a smartphone's features.

But, I just hope with that budget, what kind of phone you guys would recommend over Galaxy Y

Her usage: phone call, SMS, take photo, and I think she will facebook a lot

thanks a bunch

Galaxy y have the weakest processor among android .

Try to get xperia mini .

The weak processor will make you rage .

Hey guys, need help here:

1. Brand: Any
2. Budget: Below RM 1500
3. Specs: Preferably a screen size around 4", decent CPU speed and RAM so it runs smoothly. Hopefully ICS possible.
4. What you need in the phone: I am looking for one that is quite durable because I am quite a rough person, =P Also, I would like a good camera that can take good stills, nice music quality, and runs rather smoothly. Oh, and hopefully it can run games like Temple Run because I like to play games on the phone often.

I am using HTC Wildfire now, hoping for a decent upgrade. ^^

I am not planning to take telco plans as well, if this info helps.

Your mid - high phone comming soon on april or may .

Its either htc one S / xperia P for you .

If really need it now , galaxy nexus ap set RM1400 something galaxy s2 probably that price also .

Or htc sensation XE come with beat earphone and about ur budget .

Arc better screen , connection and camera . ( HDMI , led flash , USB OTG )

S plus better internal memory and processor . ( 1.4Ghz , 2gb phone memory )

Arc will get ICS tho . Both of them are ok for daily use and some HD games and video .

Guys

Any other suggestions?

Added on April 8, 2012, 11:35 pmIs Nokia Lumia nice?
*
I post it at non android phone suggestion .

You cant video calling . ( if you don skype , fring etc then can live with it )
16GB fix storage . ( depend on how you use actually its quite enough for mid range user )
No mass storage mode . ( i find it very troublesome )
Video need to be convert before you play it with your phone . ( depend on your pc , high end pc might take shorter time to convert )

You can transfer song which you dl from internet . But must through zune . ( just like itune , don think every pc will have it )

if you ok with that then nokia lumia is fine if not great .

Ya hmm.gif its the best in malaysia market with that price

Rm800 below for 8mp , hdmi , qwerty , 1ghz , front cam , 3.7 screen , and ICS

Quite cheap indeed .

MK16 Xperia Pro AP [ 3.7" | 8.0MP | 1GHZ ] - RM 705 [8GB] | 750 [16GB] Black
MK16 Xperia Pro AP [ 3.7" | 8.0MP | 1GHZ ] - RM 720 [8GB] | 765 [16GB] RED & Silver
MK16 Xperia Pro ORI [ 3.7" | 8.0MP | 1GHZ ] - RM 855 [8GB] | 900 [16GB] ( FOC.HDMI )

suggest get ori , no nid worry problem and free HDMI .

More like Rm 100 only when minus the HDMI cost .
