QUOTE(fm_hyudin @ Apr 14 2012, 08:55 PM) Hi.. I've been using i phone 4 for 2 years already.I'm planning to try out android phone and planning to get a good model.Which one is better htc or samsung and which model is new in market ? I'm looking for something that can perform better then i phone 4 and want to try out android for first time. Regarding the cost, I have no idea because this is the first time going for android.Will tell if the price suits me after recommendation.Please suggest the model and price.Tq. The top 3 android currently on market is xperia s , HTC one X and galaxy nexus . Any of them should be ok  Added on April 14, 2012, 9:30 pmQUOTE(danielcmugen @ Apr 14 2012, 09:07 PM) 2nd hand google nexus S, if must be new then Samsung galaxy nexus / S2 AP set. Cuz ori S2 is G version which has very little custom ROMS and problematic while ori galaxy nexus is overpriced. So if u insist on ori, wait for HTC one S. So the front camera still need or not 1? If dun need edi then Nokia lumia 710 or wait for Sony xperia U. Indeed xperia U will be next best mid range phone . This post has been edited by xerox8908: Apr 14 2012, 09:30 PM

Added on April 15, 2012, 11:38 amQUOTE(Tamsin @ Apr 15 2012, 01:08 AM) Brand : HTC / Samsung Budget : Below 2k Specs : Anything What I need : Need a phone that can play decent games with minimum lag (Temple Run , Angry birds) good battery life , and most importantly , can surf internet with minimum lag Interested in the HTC One series especially the HTC One S but then I read that it only uses MicroSIM wheareas I'm using the normal SIM card you can cut it for free at your telco and buy a Rm5 micro sim adaptor .

QUOTE(aristotletan @ Apr 15 2012, 12:54 PM) but gsmarena test showing that s2 performance is better, is it true? The benchmark is better because of the different of way the gpu rendering the graphic . Mali 400 bechmark is good but have poor game suport while adreno have good competiable . The xperia S doesnt lose in hardware tho at most its a draw . Both are good enough for daily or even intense use . And it have better screen , better cam , sperated HDMI , nfc . Xperia S should be better than both G and non G version . Not mentioning the design and build quality . If you like samsung , then might as well consider nexus prime .

QUOTE(Hoi-Ya-Ee-Ya @ Apr 23 2012, 06:15 PM) yea... anyway, may i know why you suggest 1x instead of xperia S? my first choices now are Sony XPERIA S and HTC One X But I heard that 1x gets heated up very very easily because of its quad-core processor, and the 1800mAh battery drains very quickly due to the same reason as well. I'm not quite sure on this, so can you enlighten me ? Thanks! Make sure you check for htc one x screen problem and xperia s yellow spot problem before buy . You can get further infomation at respective phone section . Ask those user how to check your phone before buying it . Both sony and htc malaysia doesnt provide 1 to 1 exchange . Both are great handset without those problem . This post has been edited by xerox8908: Apr 23 2012, 08:06 PM

QUOTE(Hoi-Ya-Ee-Ya @ Apr 23 2012, 11:58 PM) Yup, i have heard about the xperia S yellow tint screen problem. What's the htc screen problem by the way? and.. what's 1 to 1 exchange? In some country if you find the phone is faulty , they straight give you a new one . Malaysia they will repair it . Type " htc one x screen problem " in youtube lots of video . Xperia S new batch seem like no problem already . Make sure you get the new stock .

QUOTE(mrkenn @ Apr 24 2012, 11:03 PM) Hi guys. Wanna ask why choose SONY live with walkman over sony xperia mini? Same spec. But LIVE = rm 699 , MINI = rm 450. Why price so much diff? live with walkman isnt Rm690 . Rm690 is include with 8gb card + walkman headset Front cam , bigger screen , dual speaker , walkman button . WT19 [ Lite Pack ] [ 5.0MP | 512MB RAM | 1.0GHz ] - RM 605 ORI [2GB] | 630 ORI [8GB] ST15 Xperia Mini ORI [ 3.0' | 5.0MP | 1GHZ ] - RM 460 [2GB] | 485 [8GB] fine for me to have those upgrade with RM 145 mini is fine also but i would like to have face unlock with front cam when both of them receive ICS update This post has been edited by xerox8908: Apr 25 2012, 01:57 AM

QUOTE(mrkenn @ Apr 25 2012, 02:38 AM) Sorry but to ask. What's the use of front cam(only VGA) since there's a rear camera with 5 megapixels. The screen only bigger 0.2 inches wor? Resolution wise still the same. Dual speaker probably worth it? you will need it for skype , fring etc And can unlock the phone with ur face .  cool function Added on April 25, 2012, 12:01 pmQUOTE(nkdin_rulez @ Apr 25 2012, 11:42 AM) hi all.. quick question Sony Ericsson Arc S or Ray... price difference is RM 300... which is more worth? Arc S have larger screen ( better quality also ) and better camera and better processor . Ray have front cam . if you do not need the front cam , the Rm300 is worth the extra speed and screen size .

QUOTE(LaiFany @ May 1 2012, 02:48 PM) Mind if you guys help me out? Brand : HTC/Samsung/Sony Budget : Around RM1k Spec : Dual Core processor, I guess Single Core is okay too, as long as it won't lag, BIG SCREEN (4.3") and ICS compatible. What you need in a phone : I want Full HD video playback( I watch a lot of videos on phones ), no lag, decent camera, gaming, and a lot of apps to play with. full hd require dual core . single core can play till 720p only . As your budget is tight i would recomend you to get second hand optimus 2x or atrix 2 if wan new then get xperia Arc , nearest to ur requirement .
