Hello guys,I'm looking a phone for my mom.. Here's the criteria.

1. Brand: anything
2. Budget: below RM750
3. Specs: Camera is the first priority
4. Type/Size: any

Currently in my mind is mi4i but worried about its quality. Anyone could enlighten my choice? Thanks in advanced

Thank you very much for both of you.

If overheat is the case,may I know the over heat will occur on gaming or normal task? Because my mom wont be using this phone to gaming. Just whatsapp,camera and some normal task like sms and calling smile.gif

By the way,is there any alternative to this phone? smile.gif
*
there are alternatives luckily rclxms.gif
the meizu m2 note have a great camera too
also the asus padfone s 2gb version
also xiaomi's own redmi note 2

now xiaomi redmi note 2 only available in directd with rm749.is it a good deal?
*
I'd say it's an OK deal
It's recommended to wait till official release of the phone by mi Malaysia. Likely to be cheaper and easier to claim warranty
Unless u need the phone now

Lenovo p70 or redmi note 2?
what do u think mate?
*
depends on what u want really
faster cpu,better display(1080p vs 720p) - redmi note 2
bigger battery backup - lenovo p70

honestly i think the p70 is overpriced considering its specs

Currently using a backup phone, will be buying one in a few weeks  smile.gif

Btw do you know whether or if the X10 processor supports slow motion video? I saw some reviewers on youtube mentioning that slow motion will be coming in MIUI7 update but I don't really put too much hope for a phone with that price tag
*
Yes it does support slow motion video and time lapse but only in 720p mode. Doesn't support it in 1080p mode

great ! but if to compare both camera ,and battery? which will u choose
*
The galaxy s6
Surprisingly even with the smaller battery it managed to last longer than the g4 thanks to the efficient exynos 7420 and the new diamond pentile screen

Camera wise the s6 is a bit better too.also better performance from the chipset.

Brand - any
Budget - 400-600 (can push upper limit a little if need be)
Specs - at least 5" screen, easy to use, it's for my elderly mom who needs a bigger screen, doesn't require top end specs, she doesn't do hardcore gaming etc, just for internet, whatsapp, viewing videos of her grandkids, typical old people stuff.

Thx guys smile.gif

I need a new phone! My note 2 suddenly died.

Budget : preferably not more than 3k
Brand : any .. With reliable reputation
Specs : good camera with lots of storage
Type/size : i like large display
Personally I like the note 5 but the lack of sd card slot and the fact that in Malaysia we can only get the 32gb version is a total disappointment to me
Plus the glass back gives me some concern as I'm prone to breaking those delicate things
Basically...
I use my handphone to take lots of work related pictures like documents so that i can refer back anywhere from my phone
Other than that I just use my phone to browse internet, check emails and use whatsapp, fb and waze... Oh and i need it to support multi window
I also rarely make any calls or sms
So I dunno... Which phone should i buy?.. Sigh

Requesting for recommendations. Age of user: 50 - 65 years old.

Brand: No specific preferences

Budget: Approximately MYR600.00, but is flexible. Quality first.

Specs:
(a) Minimal lag. My experiences with Samsung Android phones weren't too good. Most of these phones start lagging after a few months of use. Peers recommended iPhone by Apple, citing that they seldom lag. I need verification on this.
(b) Decent camera.
© Large display, preferably around 5 inches.
(d) What else do people usually ask for? I've no idea. The user of this phone will be using this phone to make calls, sending text messages, snapping photographs and jot down reminders (e.g. Buy cake at noon). The user is old, hence larger display might be better, but not a strict requirement though. Occasional use of WhatsApp, but definitely no RAM-heavy apps like downloadable games or Waze.

Type/Size: No specific preferences

Reluctant to ask for recommendation directly at the store, because friends have informed me that the sellers will definitely try their hardest to push Oppo phones due to high commission. Therefore, I'm asking here for suggestions that may hopefully to be more objective, neutral and less aggressive.
