at below 1k, I don't think there's an upgrade from Padfone S. Padfone S and Mi3 is the cheapest Snapdragon 800/801 phone dy.

An upgrade would require more than 1k. Maybe u shud invest in a gud casing like Rock case or Spigen casing for Padfone S. Not sure of it's availability yet though.

1. Brand: any
2. Budget. Below RM500
3. Specs. Any
4. What you need in the phone: For elderly use.

1. Brand : Any brand as long as it is not Sony, HTC, Lenovo and Samsung
2. Budget : Around RM1k
3. Specs : As long as it is better than mid-range phone ( quad-core, 2GB RAM, 16GB, minimum 8MP rear camera,5 inch and above )
4. What you need in the phone : Smooth, no lag, if possible able to receive android updates like Nexus series.

Actually I aimed Nexus 5 as my target, but seems like most of the shops are running out of stocks, as Android Authority said, N5 will stop producing, after Q1 only start selling. So I'm afraid that Nexus 5 out of stock when I want to buy it. So, I'm looking for a second choice.

Thank you.

Honor 3C, Honor 3C Lite, Zenfone 4 A450CG

Oneplus One would be a gud alternative.

Suggest a cheap android (or other phones with different OS) that is easy to use by old folks (my mum) and has basic feature like WhatsApp/Telegram.

Smartphone ??

Asus zen 4 rm2xx

Acer e2 rm4xx

oppo find neo ??

Lenovo s960 ??

acer e2 rm400

nokia x rm299

1. Brand : Any brand
2. Budget : Below the price of an Ipod Nano with Bluetooth.
3. Specs : Doesn't matter. See item 4
4. What you need in the phone : Music player and Bluetooth to connect to car. Hotspot function not a must but would be good if available.

Phone will be placed permanently in the car as a music player via Bluetooth. Will put a spare sim inside for hotspot function when required.

Yes, I know I can get the latest Ipod nano, but that's RM500 plus. Any Androids out there that's below this?

what current phone are u using? cannot pair it via bluetooth to ur media player?

I think Zenfone 5 the 1GB ram version, Redmi Note, Honor 3C Lite, would be nice. Big screen, can use as GPS too.

Btw, a bit off topic, this is nice

Thks for your note. I am using an IP5 at this moment as a main phone with a Nexus5 running the media streaming via Bluetooth. Felt that it was a major overkill to have the Nexus doing this. Plus I do not want my IP5 connected to the car via BT to stream as my calls will also be streamed to the speaker system. So am looking for a cheaper and smaller alternative to the N5.

Guys whats the best low budget phone with great camera?
And also mid budget great camera phone?

Hi,

Current brand: samsung s2
Interest brand: oppo, sony Z3 experia & oneplusone
Spec: 2.5 snapdragon qualcomm
Budget: up to rm1.5k only.

Any advice on any this 3 model with my budget.

Brand: any
Size: 7 and above
Budget: RM600

Need call function but will be really minimal usage on it, just to be in case. It's for traveling purposes and Mostly for surfing and light gaming. Currently looking at Asus Fonepad but undecided between 7 & 8. The display at Fonepad 7 looks more crispy vs Fobepad 8....any other recommendations?

If budget below RM500 with Bluetooth capable, well that are quite a lot of choice anyway..

Define your "RM<insert amount here>" low and mid budget mean.

Since you are using Samsung. Why not
- Samsung Galaxy Note 3
- Oppo Find 7a
- Z3 Compact
- OnePlus One

With that kind of budget, I believe those Asus are only option here, get ready for Powerbank since you telling for travel. Intel SoC are battery hunger.

Get the z3 or the z2.

Zenfone 5 ori unit has 2GB of ram. Cost only 519 only or last year Moto g

G Pro 2

But Z3 (not compact) quite costly than RM1.5k.
Any advice ?

Thank you.
How much Z3 compact price ?
