Fully agree. I don't care much about games. Have lots of mp3 songs that I store in SD. Lots of apps too, stored in SD. So H3C is ideal for me. However I m thinking of buying 1s for my mum cos she's upgrading from an old non-smart phone. Will probably get mipad, too, for reading PDF mags. smile.gif

After comparing both my 1S and H3C, I think paying extra RM80 for Honor 3c is a smarter choice. For Rm80 extra, you get 2GB Ram, 5mb front camera, default storage to SD card, hands free earphone with mic.

I owned 3C for less than 24hours but I tested most high intensive games like NFS:MW or Riptide GP2 or Dead Trigger 2. Most are playable but with sight noticeable shuttle. You will amaze by the 3C with the price of RM499 only. Youtube lag have been patched by recent firmware update. Not sure there will be KitKat coming thou.

Reading some of the comments here it's like buying a Proton and expecting it to perform like a BMW. tongue.gif

Received my 1s yesterday. Surprised they do delivery on a Sat, by a guy in a pte car?

After playing with the phone for a day, I can tell you the issues with it.

The choice of languages in the phone (local M'sian version) is limited to: US English, UK English, Melayu and Chinese. So if you are intending to buy this phone as a gift for an overseas friend, forget it.

In the Honor 3C, there is a staggering choice of 44 languages, including Arabic, French, Spanish, Vietnamese and so on.

I think the whole point of a discussion thread is to talk about the pros and cons of the product without getting overly defensive when someone points out some issues.

I have bought mi3, 1s and H3c. Will most likely buy mipad when it comes out (and maybe Redmi Note since someone pointed out to me that it has multi-language options). Already bought iPad & ipod touch btw. I would say all the models have pros & cons.

I think its fair to compare products within a similar price bracket, with +/- RM100 being a reasonable range. Someone may say, oh why not top up 1,500 for an iphone, I think that's just the fool talking without sense.

Within the 419-519 price range, there is 1s, Redmi Note & H3c.
Within 499 - 599 price range, there is H3c, Redmi Note & maybe one of the Asus Zenfones. What else is there?

For me, 1s with Snapdragon sounds good technically. In real-life performance it falls short of the H3c, especially in terms of features...so many to name... but this is a 1s thread so I shall not mention them here.

The real question is, are the additional features worth the extra RM80 for another phone? That is a question only YOU can answer.

However, if some day the 1s come with 2GB ram and multi-language options, I would not hesitate to get a few more units.

Peace! smile.gif

Think I might just get Zenfone 4 just to play play. Thanks for the headsup. tongue.gif

QUOTE(red streak @ Jul 29 2014, 12:51 AM)
The new Zenfone 4 with the 1750mAh battery and 8MP camera is arguably better. It's a lot less bloated for one thing. You won't face any problems with RAM management or running games like Clash of Clans.

Just bought Zenfone 4 yesterday, RM299.
Pretty surprised by it. Android works as it should. But screen res nothing to shout about.


QUOTE(coolstore @ Jul 30 2014, 11:57 AM)
i wait h3c fall low to rm399 then buy it, hahaha

some more, revised zenfone 4 with 4.5" is joining the combat with its price tag around rm360, cheaper than 1s.
