Hi, I asked for a recommendation last year but never got myself to buy a new smartphone. Now my new job requires such a device, for using what's app, showing clients info with easy access of apps and internet. But would a tablet be a better choice?

Brand: Any, as long as got good after sales customer service
Price: Rm1000 more or less
Specs: Easy to use. Good specs vs price (vs durability) ratio for the price, occasional (intense) gaming , long battery life. Not sure about camera, as long can get good and clear reference picture for my 3D hobby. (I think I'm asking for the impossible here...)

Thanks man, will look at them.

Guys when is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 going to launch in Malaysia?

Am currently using moto g 1st gen, looking for similar spec or higher phone. Ideally 5 inch screen, fd or fhd screen resolution, snapdragon 615 or higher, decent camera, min built in 16gb, consistent update from manufacturer, and most important price range below rm1k or slight higher is acceptable.

still waiting

are u willing to fork out an extra rm200 for the one plus one @ rm1199
that is the best choice still at that price range

if not consider the xiaomi mi4i 32gb

I'm thinking of getting that phone too, recently saw the Sony Xperia C5 Ultra Dual, and the screen and camera looks really good but it's using a 1.7GHz MTK proc with 2GB RAM only and selling for 1399. I heard the Asus ZenFone 2 has a lot of bloatware, is this true and if yes does it affect performance much? My budget is below RM 1.4k so looking
at these models at the moment. Another recommendation was the One Plus 2 and the Oppo models. I was previously using the Redmi Note 3G, so I am used to a 5.5 inch screen and would like a phone in that size or similar with options of expandable storage and good processing power.

DirectD is selling one (prob imported version) for rm749, I think I'll probably just buy that one if it doesn't launch here in the next 1-2 months

but what about the warranty?
can use in Malaysia ?
since this is imported

DirectD will provide 2 years warranty. About local usage, I'm not really sure either, never bought any chinese phones before.

I think it's better to wait a few months first, plus I'm pretty sure the official xiaomi price will be much cheaper compared to this one

I think so.better wait a lil bit more.
BTW, its already about 2 weeks after being lauched.
I already pm xiaomi facebook page but they also have no idea when it will enter malaysia

Hi, i want recommendation between these phones

Xiomi Mi4
RedMi Note 2
Zenfone 2 2gb version
Oneplus 1
Samsung A5/A7

from this list the oneplus one is the best choice

Red mi 2

mi4

zen 2

I'm considering to buy a used Samsung Note 4 (good condition + a couple of months of warranty + ori).

The market price looks like about RM1300 - 1500.

Any recommendation for other phones that are better / more value for money at the same price or even cheaper?
