Have you guys experienced the infamous issue of s3 mini keep restarting itself??
I've been trying to find a smartphone to get (my first smartphone, never touched a single smartphone in my life) with the SKMM rebate. So far it seems like S3 mini or S2 (if it's at RM800+) are within my budget, but I read about the whole constant restart issue with S3 mini.

I see, thanks for the replies people!!

Been such a pain trying to find a decent smartphone that fits my budget. I never owned or played with a smartphone before... so have zero clue about smartphones. Was researching until almost broke down and cry Someone say Windows phones are crappy, that I shouldn't get Lumia, another said Samsung firmware is crap and screen is crap, I should avoid S3 mini. Another say another thing. Just piss me off.

Oh yeah, so how is the firmware? You guys using 3rd party firmware or the factory firmware?

I see, thanks. The thing is because I never used a smartphone or owned one, really have no idea how to go around doing an evaluation about it So much more complicated than computer for me.

Hmm... so do you recommend S3mini? Now that you mentioned the price, it kinda put me off a lil from getting this. But so far I only found this and S2 being decent and within my budget. I have a budget of RM900 and SKMM Rm200 rebate. Still a student and using my first salary to get a phone... that's why been such a pain for me. Want to find a phone that can last me for 2-3 years for basic functions since I don't play games on my phone.

Outdated in terms of? Sounds like S2 isn't outdated in terms of firmware if it just got updated.

Edit: Oh wai... I meant S2 Plus... S2 is still RM1k+, S2 plus is RM800+ only

I see... that's why it's still RM1k+??

What about S2 plus? Read reviews say it's the same as S2 in many ways but somehow RM800+ only

Thanks!! I shall keep my eye out for S2 plus too

jakgelap Curious to know, have you used Sony Xperia phones before?? What do you think of Xperia vs S3 mini? I can't find S2/S2 plus in stock

Specifically, Xperia L or SL. Thanks !!

edit: ahh forgot how to tag people

Thanks so much!! I need to think this over. Tried S3mini and SL/L just now. Found out S3 mini screen is more vibrant, but SL and L seems to be faster (and bigger screen). Preferred S3m screen, but feels like Xperia could last longer for me

Haha.. I shall keep that in mind!

RM1000. I can get Xperia SP for RM1000 because of the SKMM RM200 rebate. Planning to get my phone from Sen Heng (because they accept rebate and have better free gifts), so I don't get the privilege to get cutthroat price from 3rd party sellers. Still not sure which phone to get yet
