4. What you need in the phone - primary phone+surfing

been reading alot recommend Gnex and P1....which is better?or is there another choice?i'm not getting it anytime soon maybe year end so should i wait for S2 price go down 1st?
*
The price will keep dropping (dealer's price). If u wait till year end, maybe both S2 and g.nexus also no more edi. Between g.nexus and P1, overall g.nexus better. For now, Huawei ascend P1 is your best choice.

Hi guys..

Can recommend any of android phones with budget RM600 (max)? Helping my friend buy it since he dont know too much bout this smartphone things.. Prefer Samsung & Sony. Thanks
*
Sony xperia U. Or cheaper one like SE xperia mini / mini pro.

QUOTE(capoi @ Oct 21 2012, 09:51 PM)
How about Sony Xperia Tipo? Is it better than SE xperia mini pro / pro? I still prefer touch screen rather than qwerty button phone? With that button, screen look smaller to me. What is the main thing I should consider for better response during texting sms? Is it sensor? Now Samsung Corby 2 just got Accelerometer..is that mean phone with a more sensor such proximity, compass can perform better during text a sms?
*
Xperia mini pro / pro got better spec. Speed and camera also win.
Better response got nothing to do with wat u said. U can download a keyboard that works like swype keyboard, it works by sliding your fingers. Or just get a phone with bigger screen. smile.gif

Asked this before but abit tight now so:
1. Brand: Apa apa
2. Budget. 500 to 900
3. Specs. Screen size>3.5"
4. What you need in the phone:

I need a PHONE, ie easy to call out and we both sides can hear each other LOUD & CLEAR,ie function like a good old normal phone,
very important have LOUD HANDSFREE.

Also surf alot so must not have lag(1 Ghz or more and
with great dose of RAM).

I heard rumor prices will fall down next month as new models come out for christmas. True?

Sony xperia P / go. Both will get Jellybean update. The price, it drops all the time (dealer price).

How about Sky Vega Racer 2? As it is better.

If it's okay i would get Vega Racer 2 and sell off my ace.

Better, but it's very rare here so warranty and spare part all that susah. Maybe the best is just AP warranty, but unlikely. Over your budget also. Best for you is Sola or Motorola atrix. nod.gif

Brand: HTC One X / Samsung Galaxy S3

Honestly I like both phones. But I heard that you can't get immediate update from HTC, unlike s3?
*
Samsung got faster update. Overall S3 better, but more expensive also. Both are worth the price. Note that one X is very hard to root. But it has 2 yrs warranty(if registered within 1 week) if u dun root it.

xperia j has a weak gpu,single core is enough for daily usage .xperia go is water and dust resistant but has a 3.5 screen with lousy ppi.most apps cant support that kinda of screen.xperia j would be better choice if ure not a heavy user(high end games).
*
But it seems the chipset and all that of xperia J is not even as good as xperia mini, but it is gonna get Jellybean. So which will be faster in the end?

About the screen of xp go, only those high end games will be affected right?

Looking for phone for my wife...Using this phone to replace sucky Iphone 3G (not even the 3GS)

Used or new is fine.

Brand:
Sony preffered, Others accepted EXCEPT Motorola...oh n dun wan China brands too.

Budget:
RM 500-800

Specs:
4.0" Screen minimum
8MP camera minimum (with good flash)
720P HD Video minimum.
Prefer with OFFICIAL ICS or JB...but non official can be considered

What you need in the phone (Good camera/good sound quality/durable)
Camera needs to be good as wanna take lots n LOTS of pix of my baby boy (lots of indoor pix)
Needs to be durable as wife tends to get pretty clumsy n drops the phone.
so far the closest thing i can think of/find is a used HTC Desire HD....any other options?
*
SE xperia arc S. 8mp camera with exmor sensor(good in low light). Definately better than the camera of desire HD.

that left xperia p vs samsung s advance. i think probably go with ss adv coz cheaper, thinner, better battery.

Galaxy nexus RM999 @ Best Denki, as said by alwinnng unsure.gif . Really good buy!
