To be honest, the fast GPS locking speed have nothing to do with your OS.

If your Lumia device is using Qualcomm SoC, while Android device also using Qualcomm SoC, when you try compare both together, the locking speed is the same. Is nothing to do with either Windows Phone OS or Android OS.

Unless you tell me the Android device is China OEM made powered by Mediatek SoC.

Auto Focus Camera not deal breaker for me as I don't use budget device to expect shoot awesome picture anyway.

Magnet Sensors also not deal breaker for me which I don't use flip magnet cover.

What was the price of Lumia 530? Recently I read a news of new Microsoft Branded Lumia 535 coming to Malaysia shore too. The Lumia 535 is the successors of Lumia 530.

I see.. new info for me

You can get Lumia 530 at RM 309 at DirectD..

If Lumia 535 is coming to here, then better for you to wait for it

Yes, owning black Lumia 925 totally worth it, good cams, good body, smooth, great sound almost audiophile MP3 player level, GPS features that beat Garmin , it get even better if you own Windows 8.1 desktop.

Maybe if the pricing is competitive.

Hi NightFelix! We are in the same boat here!

I have been thinking buying a WP as my 2nd phone.
My target should be Lumia 630 (RM399 at satugadjet/directd).
Lumia 630 has superior specs than 530 (RM299).

If I am satisfied with WP, then later maybe I'll be upgrading to Lumia 1020 or 930 or 1520.

Still thinking.... and got a lot of questions to be asked to WP oldtimer forumer here..


AND,,,
About HERE Maps on Android, that shouldn't be a big problem.
Even without HERE Maps, I use Sygic (Cracked) for offline navigation and it never fails me.

Lumia numbering model kinda confuse to choose from Low-entry to Mid-ranger.

Maybe I should buy a second hand unit of Low-entry Lumia instead of getting a new one, but problem is, low-entry can't experience the ClearBlack feature, PureView etc.

Price from Directd.
Nokia Lumia 735 - RM899 (Mid-Ranger)
Nokia Lumia 530 DualSIM - RM299 (Low-Entry)
Nokia Lumia 930 - RM1659 (Flagship)
Nokia Lumia 630 DualSIM - RM399 (Low-Entry)
Nokia Lumia 1520 - RM1599 (Phablet Flagship)

I think only Lumia 735 is the cheapest Lumia that have PureView camera to experience. Lemme think first. and I think Nokia HERE is much more smartphone friendly compare to Sygic you talking about.

Why not buy a second hand Lumia 925/Lumia 920 at Mobile Garage (Nokia)? That's how I got my L925

Is it the evolution of Lumia 920?
920 > 925 > 930

Are the coming soon rumor MS Lumia 940 coing soon?

Lumia 735 does not have PureView. Cheapest Lumia with PureView is Lumia 830.

Oh. Thanks for the head up. I'm still new to Lumia model.

Judging from the spec Lumia 735 VS Lumia 830. Only 8GB VS 16GB Internal Storage, Front Camera, Pureview/OIS capable, 4.7" AMOLED vs 5.0" LCD only. Lumia 735 seems a better deal.

If the secondhand value good..i will consider

If you are considering to buy used/secondhand Lumia to experience the PureView or ClearBlack, then Lumia 920/925 are the best choice here.

The current market price for used L920: RM400-550 while for L925: RM550-650 depending on phone conditions/seller..
I have changed my mind, right now I am hunting for a used L920/L925 especially the YELLOW one
My priority should be for the PureView alone, mannn I can't stand Nexus 4 terrible camera anymore

Anyway, both L920/L925 are almost the same..
L920: cheaper/32GB/LCD/wireless charging but thicker and bulkier
L925: frame metal/slimmer/AMOLED but more expensive/only 16GB

Hmmmmm

I thought currently tech review the iPhone 6/6+ is the Best Smartphone Camera at the moment? And is easier bend than Nokia Lumia. #BendGate

Anyway, I don't mind with second hand sets, actually I looking at the AMOLED screen of Lumia 630 @ RM3XX. I will skip Lumia 920 as I was looking for AMOLED type of Lumia. Maybe will take Lumia 925 consideration.

Lumia 630 is IPS, Lumia 735 is AMOLED

Ops. Thanks for the head up. Must be got confuse.
I think the ClearBlack tech are amazing.

A few days ago a friend see my Lumia 630 for the first time and immediately mistook it for the new iphone 6.

I'll buy another WP.. evolution for 920.. right now I'm using 920.. it's a good Phone.. Satisfied with it..

Are you talking 920 or 930?

er.. more advance version.. haha.. coz right now i'm using 920.. if 940 came out.. maybe i will replace my 920 -> 940..
