In my own experience, Moto X/G or Every Moto devices from 2013, Nexus series, HTC One M7/M8 won't have lag for long term usage. Or almost possibly not to have this issue.

Samsung phones on the other hand, I cant guarantee it. The skin is too heavyyyyy.

I wanted to try iphone for the first time too. But like some have said, I am currently waiting for the "s" series. It's evident actually. The first original model will have issues, since the iphone 4.

I'd look for 5S if can't wait to try iOS tho.

I am using HTC ONE X since 2012, ready to change new phone now since the screen smacked 2 weeks ago. Sigh. But then, can't really wait until "S" series to come out. Samsung touchwiz stuff, really appreciate if Samsung can give us pure android.

Sorry for late response, didn't receive notification from forum. You are right on the two aspects that you mention, those are my primary requirements.
Prefer Android because Windows platform afraid some apps (e.g. game) not installable.
The LG G3 spec attracts me, but 5.5" screen really too big for me. Nowadays phone maker all fancy large screen display.
Anyway, eventually I got myself a Z3. First time use smartphone a lot of headache for me to learn. Now i have to key in my contact from my old phone to new phone one by one, what a process.

people don't key in anymore, most phone has the transfer contact feature to a vcard(.vcf file) and android will read up and import all at one click.

I cant because my previous phone is not a smartphone, is the press button kind Nokia phone, the era where color screen just barely started, not even has bluetooth. There is some connection point at the bottom, but the relevant cable is long lost. SIM memory is not sufficient for all my contact. So other than manual, I can't see any other way to get around it. As of time of writing I am still typing.

you heard lots of problem, but i dont know why after i using it more than 1 month also didnt have such issues...
1. browser refresh you meant safari? i using chrome anyway.
2. 2gb will certainly better i think... but i did not see any slow or lag even in 1gb ram... maybe i just did not abuse it too much...
3. heard those boot loop issues in MR, but for myself did not happen whatever problem... buy from start till now never restart one time even
4. if 1 gb is your concern you can go buy other phone with 3-4gb ram...

for me i choose 6 plus over 6 because
1. camera OIS
2. battery (triple / quad battery lifetime of m y previous iPhone 5, my powerbank stay at home now)
3. screen and iOS apps scales quite good for iOS compare to android
4. 128gb storage can put whatever you want... believe me after you buy 128gb you would not want to look back anymore...

what i dont like
1. protruding lens
2. phone slippery without casing
3. camera quality still can improve

good luck to your manual way...

and remember you need change a new sim card if your old sim card more than 5 years d (those 'big' 128k sim card)... so sim card transfer contact also cannot

Yes you are absolutely right about the sim. Which is why I stated early manual way is my only way. Kind of sad fact. So next time do not leave behind technology gadget for too long.

Suggest you not to buy first. Installment of anything will cause you alot of stress.

Think about not buying before but eventually the living condition at my new work place leads me to conclude I must need a more advance gadget. The sole reason I pick iphone in the 1st place is I believe it can last me 4 to 7 yrs like my old phone does. And I only will accept the monthly installment purchase option if it is interest free. But now due to no shop has available stock I have get myself a Sony Xperia Z3 with cash. So my problem considered solved. Thanks for your suggestion.

I am afraid same thing will happen to me as the stock availability of iPhone really turn me off and annoyed me. Sigh

Machine at mid valley has stocks but I'm no sure about the instalment plan thou.

At other month I would have purchase via Apple Store online, always got stock and delivered to your door step. The only draw back is need one lump sum payment, unless u have the Public Bank credit card then you can convert it into 12 months installment interest free without any handling fee. Sigh I do not have this bank credit card.

If you want to wait for shop, I can say is crazy waiting time. The queue is so long that I immediately forget about getting it from shop. The only available stock is 16GB Gold color version, which I cannot accept.

Waiting to sign a contract with Telco and I guess this even make the situation worse. lol

@scoutfai,
If you're planning on signing up with Maxis, I believe MBB has an EzyPayment Scheme and rebate of RM300. The only problem here is finding a Maxis dealer who's got the phone! [unless you're looking for a 16GB]

go try Connect stores, they have 0% EzyPay

if you have a Citibank cc , Senheng is offering 0% installment plan up to 36 months with one time admin processing fee

Thank you a lot guys for the kind & useful suggestion.
Nevertheless due to urgency and I got other work related machinery/gadget to purchase as well, so I got no luxury of time to spend on searching anymore, I have then get myself a Sony Xperia Z3 from shop.
I will see how this phone performing and if it is not on par with my expectation then chances are I will be joining Apple community when 6s released.
Once again thanks for the feedback. You guys are helpful.

im just afraid when 6S is out, the price will be really high with 6% GST and dropping RM.. By that time, it may really be beyond my reach.

Hi DeMl, you bought your iphone at senheng with installment plan?
