Get an MP3 player bro, iPods also work very well if you're fine with iTunes.

If you need to make phone calls also.. Xiaomi Redmi 1S or Redmi Note?

I will listen mostly to audiobooks, podcast, and the likes. MP3 player are usually to cumbersome and to expensive, and they are usually very bad at micromanaging the playlist. also i can do other stuff with a smartphone.

forgot to add, sdcard is a must

Hi all,

1. Brand: Any
2. Budget: RM1k-1.3k
3. Specs: Fast processor, 5" screen, good camera, moderate gaming
4. What you need in the phone: Browse web, emails with picture attachments, a bit gaming & watch vids

Current phone is iPhone4, which was dead already. And I'm ready to make the jump to Android land!

OnePlus One, Nexus 5, Meizu MX4. These are without microsd expansion slot.

if u nid microsd expansion slot, LG G3 2GB RAM variant, Xperia Z2 ap set, Note 3 Neo, Honor 6.

If u are not confident in china brand, then can remove Meizu MX4 and Honor 6 from the choices.

Haha, yeah, if possible, I would like to avoid China brands.

Is Samsung S4 good though? I'm not crazy in getting the newest version of a phone, so older version with dropped price would peak my interest. I like how light and thin S4 is, compared to others.

for normal usage would be ok. Might not be that smooth in playing some graphical demanding game.

The S5 (newer and better processor) is selling at RM1499 for ori set by DirectD. If you can top up, it would be a great phone.

The thing with Samsung is that you gotta deal with the bloatwares that comes preinstalled with Touchwiz though.

1. Brand: Any
2. Budget: RM600
3. Specs: 5" above, anything goes with what i want to do with it.
4. What you need in the phone: can handle Spotify smoooootthhhhhhlyyyy with 32gb of songs, normal usage (google keep, wunderlist, evernote, firefox, whatsapp, decent camera for everyday stuffs) and good GPS. current lenovo p780 with waze/google maps is quite frustrating.

planning on taking redmi note 4g tomorrow. reason is because its uses snapdragon chipset rather than mediatek. although underpowered compared to normal redmi note, this new one uses snapdragon which i read somewhere was better performed when using for gps compared to mediatek.

need other opinion on other brand's models too. i'm not too fussy about this, but atleast it got resin case available to buy. some models still not have resin case especially budget androids.
thanks.

no lenovA FOR me ....

Not quite sure of Redmi Note's casing availability in Msia. U can look for it in Garage Sales.

Snapdragon device have better GPS performance compared to Mediatek.

Other suggestions includes, Zenfone 5 A500KL 8GB internal version (less than RM600), Moto G LTE 1st gen,

or top up for Zenfone 5 A500KL 16GB internal version, Moto G 2nd gen

shud've stated earlier then. Next in line would be Oppo Neo 5 LTE, Zenfone 5 A500KL or Moto G LTE.

Any cheap budget phone for

1. 5 or 6 inches screen, good battery life, microsd, good wifi reception

2. any screen size, good battery life, microsd, good wifi reception

price for both maybe around 400 or below, or if theres a better phone can topup a bit

also what is the best budget phone around 400, 500 range

thanks man. i think i'll stick with redmi note 4g then. put in tempered glass + resin case then i'll good to go.

1. Brand: Any
2. Budget: RM500-800
3. Specs: 5" screen (big & wide keyboard would be better), good camera, good battery life
4. What you need in the phone: Browse web, emails, whatsapp, skype

Lenovo Golden Warrior A806, Lenovo A916 (import set), Honor 3C. All is between 400-500 price range.

this would be the lower ends with snapdragon 400 powering them, Redmi Note LTE, Zenfone 5 A500KL, Moto G 2014

for higher end using snapdragon 800, Padfone S, Mi3.

Padfone S have small battery capacity though. But users are reporting quite gud battery life.

Samsung S5, Meizu MX4, Sony Z2, Huawei Mate 7 (2GB RAM), LG G3 (S805 version)

ignore the price, which do you all prefer?

G3 for me. the super thin bezel, the overall not too big design. Just my type.
