If want something more bigger, can consider A850 5.5" screen from DirectD at 369.

no lte

haha okok

Hi all. Good day.
Can someone please recommend me a phone with (but not limited to) the following criteria;

Brand:

A decent trustworthy brand. I wanted to say non-china brand, but it seems there has been an uprising in the quality of their phones and can go toe-to-toe (based on reviews) with the big name brands. So yeah, I'm up for anything when it comes to brands.

Budget:

Up to 1 to 1.5k (RM)

Specs:

Hardware that would be able to give a smooth experience. No slowdowns, hangs or simply breakdown when it comes to using basic,everyday apps (Whatsapp,Waze,a few simple puzzle games at most). And a decent amount of space (16g ~32g) if no SD card slot is available. And also a decent enough battery that could last the whole day through usage of said apps.

What I need in the phone:

I'm looking for a phone for my dad. The current phone he's using is an old symbian nokia. So, preferably the new phone is user friendly enough for him to make the jump (he does have an Ipad though).

I hope the phone will be good enough to be used straight out of the box without any need to be rooted.

Camera/Sound are negligible but durability and build if possible is on a decent level. Cosmetic wise a more professional/mature look to the phone is preferable.

ETC:

Currently looking at Moto G, One + One, Nexus 5. Please do recommend others if they are more suitable.

Thank you. Have a great day.

to add a few to ur consideration, Mi3, xperia z1, lg g2.

Imho, i feel Nexus 5 and Xperia Z1 looks professional and classy.

Since he is using an ipad, why not iphone? would impress his customers if he using iphone and ipad.

She's 60+, been using Nokia 1100 until now, so just want to buy a 4.5inch screen phone for her,basic spec for mainly call n messaging (WhatsApp)

Thank you good sir.

I'll take a look at the Z1.

Was considering the Iphone..but the prices of new ones are kinda steep for me.

Same with my mom. 4.7 is the smallest she need to get.
Its not easy to read and type on smartphone screen.

My suggestion take the Xiaomi 1S as it have the simpler icon UI for the erderly.

Nexus 5, 32GB version at directD at 1300. Best phone for this.

i recommend redmi 1s, rm419, i bought a unit for my mum also, she 60++ first time smartphone user also, i put a data sim on sim 1 and her normal sim without data plan at sim2.

i helped her to change the text interface bigger so easy for her reading. if you can higher your budget, actually redmi note is the best .

if u want a smart phone can last for whole day and within your 3 preferable choice... then i pick 1+ over moto g as it has bigger screen. 1+ batter is better then nexus...

hello guys
. im planning to get samsung s4.
My samsung s2 got soaking wet after i stuck in a rain.

AFAIK samsung model got different spec for same model. (correct me if im wrong)
ie ram, processor storage etc.

just wondering what and how should i look when buying?

im also open to any suggestion to phone that within the same price range (used)
samsung s4 rite now is around 800ish

thank you very much guys

3G or LTE?
Why Samsung? Its an old model and over price.
You are better of with Nexus, Z1, 1+1, even Mi3 is better.

Since your budget is 800, get Mi3 and its new for 769.

idk.. kinnda like samsung personally.
get used with the interface.
i tried my sis sony, and i dont like the interface.

owh i thought s4 has lte already.

just wondering, does china brand phone has comparable quality with mainstream brand (samsung sony etc) ?
i mean not just on the outside, but on the inside. the electronics they are using, chips, capacitor etc.

Original set S4 is 3G. As am aware only AP is LTE.

I am an ex samsung user.
S2, S3, Note 1, 2, 3, Grand 2, Tab 8.9, 7-2.
Xiaomi Mi3 quality and performance is better than S4.

Build quality better.
Performance is better S600 vs S800.
Camera is comparable 13.1 Samsung Vs Sony Exmor RS.
Battery is better. 2600mah vs 3000mah Mis3 battery.
OS is better, MIUI is better than Samsung TouchWiz.

I have 2 friends using S3 for 2 years migrated to Mi3.
It took them 1 week to adapt the new interface and they are happy since then.

Try it. You wont regret it.

Hi im looking for a phone for the elder (mostly using for communication like whatsapp i suppose)

large size screen maybe around galaxy note size
price around 800

thank you

Oneplus One all the way, it is milessss better than Moto G (moto G is a budget phone and it is not even comparable), and better than N5 in terms of screen quality, camera and battery.

About RM1300 for 64GB, comes with an excellent charger and premium build quality. Only have AP set but usually 2 years warranty.

Zenfone 6

Redmi Note, Lenovo S860, Zenfone 6

top up for T2 Ultra, Note 3 Neo, Xperia T3
