Didn't notice u asked here.

For phablet, maybe consider Lenovo A5500 or Fonepad 7 2014?

For phone, would suggest Honor 3C, Redmi 1S or Redmi Note.

lol you active in android section too?

so Honor 3C > Redmi 1S > Redmi Note.

in that particular order?

quite active in recommendation section.

imho, I would place it in this order Redmi Note, Honor 3C, Redmi 1S

1) Brand - anything will fo except China clone hahaha
2) Budget - unlimited since it is for my lovely wife
3) 1gb or 2gb ram. As lomg it is not lagging like her current Xperia L
4) This is really simple. Woman, mean bigger screen, big at her palm (throw ur dirty mind away lol) a good selfie camera ( a must for her)
5) if expandable using sd card or usb otg is really nice

Let me tell some story about her routine. Normally she only do some wechat with hr beaches, facebook, browse some internet to find info, play some music, but rarely watch videos. Play her some online girls games (fashion story, bakery story, subway surfers) and when she is bored, she will take some selfie and edit her photos. When she is outing wih her beaches, she always want to take some photos but sometimes forgot her monopod since her front camera is so damn laoya. I bought a MiBank 10k for her recently because she complaints that her phone ran out of juice quickly.

I hope this can help u guys and girls suggest a good phone for her. She debating to get a S5 because of build quality and nice camera although my MiNote can capture nice selfie photos. Then, let give me some suggestion of what possible phone that can beat S5 in term of camera and in term of the stories i tell u earlier. Really money is not a problem because i love her so much.

Thanks for reading guys and girls.

If selfie is your main point... You can consider acer liquid e3
Its with front led for selfie :-)

Ah right, Zenfone 5 does look very interesting, but I was reading a review just now where the reviewer claimed the gps feature is buggy for this phone? Is this true?

perhaps you could refer to the zenfone users thread for more information.. i guess most of the critical bugs are resolved
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3294152

since she is asking for s5... and money no issue for u, just gv her s5. you get the hints already. htc / sony not bad also but i don think she like these both..

just came across another lenovo model, you might also consider lenovo a806 which supports lte

But i heard S5 is not much improvement from S4. Spending wisely although budget is not a problem.

since money is not a problem, why not bring her to see Z2 and One M8? Maybe she'll love the design of these other top end phones too.

might as well wait for z3, thinner bezel with new color options

Wow thanks! This looks like the best value for money in terms of specs.

Not sure if its right section but how is directd/1gadgetcom warranty like? For Lenovo A806 I could only find it from these 2 sellers with their own warranty. Any feedback from sifus here?

perhaps you can check with users at a806 thread here:

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3337187

it seems that the LTE works for some telco and not all

Yeah and it seems like LTE works but not the 3G.. still reading up on this

Cheers

as u already mention money not an issue, and she like s5, and u love her . why not? before buy tell her also m6 and z2/3 but since $ no issue, mah s5 lo. if she later on not satisfied with s5, then only u tell her "see told you, let go for z2/m8 now, don worry, i got $"

1. any brand
2. budget rm800-1300
3. 2gb ram,8mp or above camera
4. smooth interface (no lag or screen stuck). good battery life, minimum hardware problem (no overheat and all) , good camera, fast internet browsing, can support high graphic games.

selfie yea? z2 or z3.

yea do share with us which phone you finally decide to get~
