Hi, I water damaged my last phone (iphone 5), can't connect to the network but other functions such as wifi and camera works, it has become an ipod technically. To repair would cost me RM500 (changing the motherboard) so I think I would buy another phone to satisfy my need to use my phone as a phone. Currently using iphone 3gs (the antique) but the lag omg.

1. Brand: Not iphone because it is way over my budget
2. Budget: Under RM500. but I guess I could stretch it if it is a good phone, completely replacing my old phone
3. Specs: Not sure but I cannot stand any lag and battery life must last at least a full day. Don't care for the camera functions, I won't use it for gaming apps too, just need to be able to call, type nicely without lag, whatsapp, waze, texting, quickly searching things on the web.
4. Type/Size: Preferably small. iPhone 5 is a great size. My hands are too small and clumsy to use a big phone.


PS if anyone knows where to fix my iphone at a cheaper price, I would be very grateful.

Looking forward to the recommendation. Thanks!

Thanks! Xiaomi looks good
