Guys.. How abou huawei ascend p1...saw poster saying allit hypermarket have promo fornthis phone at rm599...how it stand compare to xperia p n samsung advance?

http://allit.com.my/img/EB-9Anni-2012-high.jpg link for the promotion...
*
The RM599 I think very hard to get la since got limited units, unless u go before the shop opens. Who knows maybe they're display units or something. RM599 too cheap la hmm.gif . Spec-wise better than those 2, but those 2 are getting official Jellybean while P1 still no news.

QUOTE(Ikmal91 @ Nov 2 2012, 05:16 AM)
1. Brand 
Doesn't matter.
2. Budget
RM1.5-2.2k
3. Specs
Just enough so that I could do some gaming, music, and browsing.
4. What you need in the phone
Screen, really good screen, this is the only reason I chose iPhones before. Good camera quality, sound quality, at least 4" and above for the screen, battery should last a day with minimal surfing, calling, and gaming, uhm....what else....I guess that's about it.

I was told maybe the Note II or wait for the HTC Nexus 5? Any other recommendations?
*
Better wait for LG nexus 4, looks like gonna be cheap. Quad core krait some more drool.gif . Otherwise, S3/note2.

QUOTE(Dannyl @ Nov 2 2012, 10:43 AM)
How is One X's camera?  Would prefer to ask here instead of One X thread for more independent answers.  Saw some sets selling at Garage Sales, but mostly without box (why?) or already exchanged 1-to-1 with SiS due to digitizer, reception, etc.  Gives me the impression of having lots of problems.  I tried at shop, shutter lag 2nd only to S3 (didn't try Note2 though).  Selling price also still quite high, 1.2k thereabouts even though new is 1.4k only.


Added on November 2, 2012, 10:52 am
I've gone through the brochure... the conditions: 1 per customer only, and on Sundays only.  What other conditions?
*
I mostly heard that S3's camera is slightly better than it in terms of quality. Can say quite ok edi la.

QUOTE(Hantu641 @ Nov 2 2012, 11:05 AM)

I asked at All IT IPC just now, no minimum purchase, all new sets, the only catch is 'while stocks last'.  And they don't know how much stock will be available for Sunday.

The same is true for the other stuff like 1TB HDD for RM200, 500GB HDD for RM100, etc.  While stocks last, 1 unit per customer.
*
I think very very very little stock only hmm.gif

i planning to buy a smartphone to replace my iphone 4 while waiting for iphone 5

i hv a budget between rm500~rm700 max , considering buying either of xperia u/p/sola/go ......the price are almost the same , but duno what is the different for those phone....especially xperia u/sola/go <--- this 3 phone price is almost the same , rm5xx~6xx for AP

1st question is , what is the different between u/p/sola/go ?....i means performance wise...

my main concern is the performance and battery capacity/battery consumption , previously i used HTC One V before.....this phone is very very slow , does that xperia u/sola/go slightly faster or very fast or slower than One V or almost the same performance ?

my another concern is GPS , i'm a regular WAZE user......is it the xperia u/sola/go able to run WAZE with accurate location pointing ?

please help me decide between xperia u/p/sola/go or recommend other brand with similar price , i'm going to buy one of that phone by today.....cos really need to use WAZE badly to avoid speed trap & road guidance....

a million thanks.....
*
Performance-wise all 4 are almost the same. Battery so far I only heard that P and sola are not so good. U and go is ok. That's only wat I heard, can't confirm. These 4 are surely faster than one V, quite a lot. Waze should work okay. Between those 4, I dunno wat u really need...all also worth it. Just check the obvious difference from the spec sheet. Btw, P and go is in the JB update list. But needa wait for a few months.

With RM1000 budget, what will be a good Android phone to buy?

Brand : Samsung / Sony / HTC

Prefer : With front camera for Skype / Video call

Screen : At least 4 inch

With microsd card slot will be good unless phone has in-built 16Gb storage or more.

Thanks
*
Only Samsung can do video calling thru telco. So go for Samsung galaxy S advance.

not sure how popular htc butterfly will be against note2.
like htc one x, it never really gets recommended here above s3.
poor htc.
*
Now can start to recommend due to the price, RM1.5k compared to RM17xx of S3...both ori. One X punya jellybean seems good also, faster than S3 in benchmark. Got 2 yrs warranty (if registered within 1 week), screen and build quality also better. But got some manufacturing defects and very hard to root, camera and batt also not as good as S3.

But the price is the 1 making it the better deal. thumbup.gif

Greetings guys ! Hope I can have some suggestion from you guys

I love small and light phones. I am looking at phones which is around 100g, <10mm thick, and <115mm long

The closest I have found is Sony Xperia SX. But it is Japan spec and not available in Malaysia. In Ebay, its cost is close to US$800  shocking.gif

Are there any phones which you guys recommend ?  notworthy.gif

Pardon me Bro. U re using csl? Care to share with us ur experienced.

Thats y bro... I read thru the stealth thread. Majority of them are very2 satisfied with their phone. Got one or 2 fella got issues with their battery, but thats still cover under warranty. And stealth had gps lock prob. But overall they satisfied with their phone. Stealth come with SP, tangle-free earphone and a book cover. So, i would say it a complete package phone

Csl on the other hand still no official user thread here in lowyat. And, as many csl phone b4, the phone is quite questionable abt the quality. But the spec is more tempting!

Desire v is another option by well known company, HTC. Can get by rm899 by u mobile package U28. But of course the price is quite high if compared with the spec. Its common for HTC right, always pricey because of the brand

Now, dunno which one to buy.. Sigh...
*
If short term, CSL should be ok since u can claim warranty if anything happens. If long term, better go for stealth.
