Guys im planning to get a 2nd phone for my office number...
im using a note now but i want a budget android OS phone to use Torque app

budget around 300-600

currently i survery either Galaxy Y , Pocket , Mini 2 or HTC Desire C...

any other recommendations? and of those i listed which 1 would be better..

my current choice was Mini 2 since its new model and got 512 ram..

prefer HTC or samsung devices
*
Best is SE xperia mini / mini pro / live with walkman.
Mini 2 also can but performance not as good as those above.

QUOTE(thechickadee @ Jul 1 2012, 09:09 AM)
1. hoping to get HTC but any other bran will do
2. Budget around 500-600
3. at least 1ghz of processor
4. Better specs like ram those

i don't mind getting second hand...XD
*
2nd hand HTC desire S, maybe can korek a bit for desire HD(poor batt life) or incredible S.
The normal desire also can ONLY if u plan to mod it.

Which is better, HTC sensation or SGSII? Sense or touchwiz?
*
If S2 non-G vs sensation, S2 better.
If S2 G version vs sensation, S2 is still better but G version very little custom ROMS.

Sense is better but slower.
Touchwiz is faster but quite basic.

QUOTE(XazeQuoz @ Jul 1 2012, 09:14 PM)
1. Brand.: any brand
2. Budget: below 1.5k
3. Specs: android / windows phone... don't know which one better..
4. What you need in the phone: gaming, longer battery life, music, web browsing, no laggy, dual / quad core processor, 1GB RAM..

Give me the best choice... of course the price also..~
btw, htc and samsung... which one better? some ppl told me that htc have many problems that samsung is better than htc.. is it?
*
Motorola RAZR MAXX or Samsung galaxy S2.

Both HTC and Samsung are about the same, but it seems that there are more probs on Samsung than HTC. cool.gif

If u want ics and great camera, go get sola or u.
if u doesnt mind to be stucked at GB, go get s advance..camera pretty decent..4" screen size..some seller sale it below 900
*

is samsung galaxy s advance going to get ics? i checked on the specs and they all do have 5 megapixel o.o , and samsung  galaxy s advance has better front camera? and also had a super amoled screen ... @@ wanted xperia sola or u .. but friends and manufacturer doesnt recommend me that .. TvT so confuse now .. as i want to buy my phone which worth it's price!

No news on ICS. But I still suggest S advance as I heard xperia sola got poor batt life.

Guys, hard to decide between this two.

samsung s advance OR samsung galaxy nexus?

S Advance:

newer model, able to expand memory

Galaxy Nexus:

bigger screen, ICS, and so on.

which one is better for long term use and can S advance update as no official announcement.
*
G.nexus! thumbup.gif

Hi guys, im looking for a budget phone, around 600-750, i don't mind ap set, currently thinking of xperia U, any other recommendations for alternatives?

That's the best.

Can also consider SE xperia neo / pro / ray, better camera than xperia U but slower proc. smile.gif

Thanks for the recommendation guys...
1. Galaxy Y
2. HTC Explorer
3. SE xperia mini

seriously looking at the HTC Explorer option... never heard abt this version of HTC before  whistling.gif
dunno about SE .. will make comparison..

so far from what i can see online HTC Explorer > Galaxy Y.... rclxub.gif

will continue my study on this...

thanks again guys

kuman

But spec-wise xperia mini is much better than those 2, haha. SE build quality is kinda bad though, HTC got the best build.

4. What you need in the phone --- Durable, good camera.

HTC sensation / sensation XE / one S.
One S got the best cam but most expensive.

If other brand also can, go get galaxy nexus. Much more worth it. thumbup.gif

Guys, for 800RM to 1KRM budget. What smartphone is good?

Prefer got gorilla glass. If no, also nvm.

Galaxy advance better than Sony Sola and Xperia U?

WHat about galaxy nexus?
*
S advance > sola/U, but dun think will get ICS unless unofficial 1.
Galaxy nexus sure the best but slightly out of your budget unless AP set.

Erm how come s advance the RRP drop from 1299 to 899 so fast?

Oh btw why choose s advance over sony sola? both have the same gpu and cpu.

nexus no gorilla glass right?
*
Probably cuz they wanna challenge Sony and also probably it won't get ICS.
Choose S advance for bigger screen and better batt life.

QUOTE(XeactorZ @ Jul 8 2012, 01:35 AM)
just get nexus
nexus is okay, but need top up your budget a bit
for your choice, all of them is okay
not should be, is exactly got more custom rom
because it is developer phone
ya meh ? me today go celcom shop saw still 1299 @@
no idea
for nexus it using fortified glass, the glass similar to gorilla
*
Thx for the info.

Btw, real RRP for now is definately not RM1299. Dunno 1099 or 999 or 899. rclxub.gif

wanna take the maxis value plus internet package + phone, and these two models are within my budget. What i need in the phone is smooth run, decent camera, wifi...

QUOTE(hahaha1412 @ Jul 8 2012, 10:14 PM)
Look i m also headache about it. rclxub.gif
One V is lower spec but is ICS
S advance and sola is good in spec and the price is comparable.

what should i choose?
i am looking for durable battery life and reliable handset since i am not gentle to my handset.
*
One V - ICS and 2 years warranty(if registered within 1 week of purchase), but single core.
S advance - Best among those but no ICS.
Sola - Good spec but bad batt life and no front camera.
U - Good spec but got a bit of quality probs and no card slot.

I suggest S advance. icon_rolleyes.gif

Not a tech-savvy person
dun care dual core or quad core

1. Brand. ANY
2. Budget. 1.8-1.9K
3. Specs.  BEST CAMERA SPECS, good display quality on phone display, large screen
4. What you need in the phone : gps, HD display, smooth (no laggy), 16/32GB INTERNAL MEMORY

Considering  SGnote, but size really too big for a girl + ave cam quality
SGS3: best cam quality but dun like the built design +expensive (overpriced?)
HTC one X:  erm.. love the design but abit overpriced plus battery prob & ave cam quality
Seems like nothing can satisfy these..

1. Brand. (HTC/Samsung/Sony)
2. Budget. (Below RM1,500)
3. Specs. (1GB Ram or above/Dual Core Proc or above/Screen size 4.3-4.7 inches)
4. What you need in the phone
- Fast Browsing Speed
- Smooth Gaming
- GPS supported
- No massive lag
- Document viewer(Word, PDF, etc)
- Good battery life

Normal usage: GPS, read document
Heavy usage: Browsing and Gaming

It seems like most people around here recommend galaxy nexus, I want to ask that its battery life is good to support browsing 3 hours continuously?
If I use it for gaming for 2 hours nonstop, will it become overheat?
Or can someone provide me the link to my questions?
Thanks and appreciate a lot.

Hi blink blink wave.gif

I suggest HTC sensation. Many places selling around RM10xx, better than incredible S yet cheaper.

Other options are...

-Sony xperia U (no card slot)

-Sony xperia go (water proof drool.gif )

-Sony xperia sola (no front cam)

-HTC desire HD (single core only) (similar specs as incredible S but cheaper, gnex is selling at around RM900)

-Motorola atrix (bad camera and no ICS)

-SE xperia arc S / ray / pro / neo (excellent camera but single core)

Err...Samsung confirm dun want right?
