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.  nod.gif

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

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.

Zenfone 2 (not sure of it's GPS performance yet)

If u can consider China brand, Honor 6 Plus, Mi Note

top up for LG G3 dual, Xperia Z3 dual - both ap sets

I heard Asus phones are RAM hogger and have issues of overheating CPU/phone, is that true?

Sony phones are just too expensive for the specs given. Sigh.

Will check out LG G3 dual sim. Is the ram 2gb version sufficient for everyday use?

Thanks for the suggestions!

For Zen UI, u can actually freeze apps that u think are useless. Overheating coz Asus' phone mostly uses Intel chipset. But the Zenfone 2 is using the latest Intel chipset, not sure if they have improve on overheating and app compatibility issue anot. Need to wait few more weeks for more review, then baru can judge performance of Zenfone 2.

2GB Ram for normal usage shud be ok. But if u have the budget, suggest to go for 3gb RAM, future proof. Coz nowadays games are RAM hoggers.

I shall wait for more reviews then. It has gone down to Zenfone 2 vs LG G3 and I'm not in a hurry to buy. I'll go with 3gb Ram then as per your advise. Thanks.

1st... thats for Intel model only..  and snapdragon doesn't have overheating issue
2nd.. u really need do some homework bro..
G3 dual Sim from HK unit is 3Gb ram model lahh doh.gif

else u can go for killer machine flagship, Oneplus one

1. Zenfone 2 uses snapdragon?
2. Cos I saw there was 2gb ram model in the specs so I thought we get it here too. My bad.
3. Oneplus one has dual sim too?
