-SE xperia arc S. Good cam but single core.

-Samsung galaxy S advance. Dual core but no ICS.

-Sony xperia sola. Dual core but no front cam.

well which one would you recommend? out of this 5? how much is HTC one X?

All got pros and cons as stated there, it depends on what your friend wants. For the best all-rounder then HTC sensation, just top up RM50 can edi.

Then I suggest lumia 800. For long term use then 4S since lumia 800 not getting WP8. But the lumia is only half the price! drool.gif

For that price tag is quite cheap.
Some ppl fail to understand if selected android can't upgrade their OS they don't complaint but when it's Lumia it seems to be a big issue when can't upgrade.

Maybe Android is mature enough while WP still got a lot of room for improvements from WP8 onwards? unsure.gif

Android maybe , but iPhone ?? seriously ..? your college students are rich...

in my U , the most of them just use the standard phone [Standard phone OS, non smartphone] , followed by Symbian phone , followed by Android phones , followed by Blackberry , then... followed by Windows Phone [including Windows Phone OS , and then lastly iOS ,

as the matter of fact, only 22 of my university students use iOS device [iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch] based on Q1 2012 survey..

last year, still got students bring their Web OS tablet , but the students already graduated.. no more this year..

My secondary school damn a lot of people use iphone and S2, lol. The most is galaxy Y. Last time they use SE.

Sometimes i love to read dis thread. And i found dat mostly people recommend sony xperia ray or same with it. May i noe does those fon good? Xperia ray xperia arc and the family of se xperia.

We usually recommend those for the camera since no other decent phones with good camera below 1k. Lumia 800 and N8 got good camera also but nowadays most people want Android. mellow.gif

QUOTE(kingkingyyk @ Jul 28 2012, 08:58 PM)
Because RM800 is on the sweet spot for most budget phone buyers.
Entry level of high end phone.

Xperia ray is fine if you can live with the small screen, otherwise go for Xperia Neo. Ah yes, I go no problem with my xperia ray, everything goes smooth. The recent release of ICS caused performance slow down. If you are a gamer, don't update to Sony's ICS, it got bad gaming performance. The user interface is as smooth as gingerbread after some modding.

However, the Xperia U is replacing ray/neo already.
Ray/Neo remains as a good choice if you are willing to trade the dual core processor for a better camera.

As for Samsung, decide yourself...
Example :
Galaxy Y - RM450+-
Xperia Mini overhelms the war without any hiccups.
Galaxy Ace - RM700+-
I rather get Xperia ray ap set. The CPU and GPU is a generation ahead.
Galaxy W - RM900+-
Xperia U eats it alive, with it's dual core.
Galaxy Ace Plus - RM900+-
Xperia U again leads with it's dual core.
Galaxy S Advance - RM1100+-
Xperia sola is just RM999, comes with similar spec.

The most important part, Xperia phones have official ICS update, while Samsung's offerings just don't.
I wonder why people are still willing to pour out extras. Due to marketing gimmick?  biggrin.gif
*
Some corrections to your price yea laugh.gif .

Galaxy ace no more edi, replaced by ace plus which only costs RM6xx ori set. S advance costs below RM950 now.

Ace Plus is still using the old MSM7227-based platform.
Xperia MSM8255-based phones are still performing better.  smile.gif

As for S advance, Samsung? Where's your ICS update?  icon_idea.gif

Yup, sad to see Samsung becoming the new Apple. It all started with the S2, they take advantage of this to earn more lor. laugh.gif
Compare the sales of galaxy Y and xperia mini....galaxy Y many times higher. doh.gif

1. Brand. - Samsung, SE or others except nokia & BB
2. Budget. - around 1.4k
3. Specs. - nice big screen (not too big like note) , no lag, good after sales support (OS support, warranty etc), good battery life, nice cam
4. Type/Size. - touchscreen
I have been comparing between xperia S, s2 i9100g (new i9100 hard to find =S) and nexus, well its mainly between xperia and s2 because i don't really like the 5mp camera on nexus and i have a few questions, need some advice and opinions from u pros. smile.gif

i have seen alot of drop test for s2 but none for the xperia S and i have heard it is not really prone to dropping, it this true?

Also, i would like to know which one will have a better battery life between this 2 phones

with the budget im having i will probably only able to get an ap set for the xperia, wanted to know wheather it is a good idea to buy an ap set for these "high-end" smartphones.

Or are there any better phones for my budget?

advice and opinions are much appreciated  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif
*
I would say get S2 ori set better. Since these are quite high end, I'm not sure if you'd wanna risk getting an AP set. Since AP warranty are known to be bad. Unless u are rich, then can take risk lah. tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

In my mind, HTC One V for my bro and myself HTC One X...
I heard many people says HTC phone very easy no battery?

need suggestion, thank guys.  smile.gif

Your bro: Samsung galaxy S advance got better spec than 1v. But the Samsung got no ICS update and only 1 year warranty, unlike the 1v...got ICS and 2 yrs warranty (if registered within 1 week, SiS set). Your choice.

U: Samsung galaxy S3, better batt life than 1x if I'm not mistaken.

thanks, but i decide to buy HTC One X, look cool, samsung too popular and S3 design is bad
i think my bro use cheaper phone can already....
Galaxy Ace price around RM6xx

u are galaxy ace user, rite? good?
is there any phone that can fight with Galaxy Ace based on price/spec?
thanks

Galaxy ace is ok for basic use, satisfied with it considering that it was the best bang for the buck last time. But now there are better phones for the price, oh it's replaced by ace plus anyway. Carry the old ace price tag too, RM6xx. At that price, SE xperia series are better but considering your bro only wants HTC/Samsung...ace plus will do.
