Xperia Z5 is totally out of question, contrary to the hype generated here. For that, you might choose which is better for you. If you need a stylish phone and yet make a good flagship, go with the S6. For a simple yet powerful device, go for the iPhone 6S.

haha I never own a sony phone since the walkman series. it has a premium feel and look. but other than that nothing good? LOL

I personally own S6. My girl doesnt like them so she is considering z5 or ip6s. Then again... she is using ip5s... so not sure worth the upgrade

tq a very helpfull info..news just in he got 5A's

Best value-to-price under RM 400? Not too sure there because there's not too many of these out there. Xiaomi Redmi 2 is the best bet you can have right now. You can buy it via their official website unless you can't pay it via credit card (like my situation, my old-school dad wouldn't let me to use credit card as a payment). Otherwise, in case you couldn't buy it, I can recommend you Leagoo Lead 5 or Asus Zenfone C. Sure, there's a quite an amount of downgrades i.e: camera (5 MP compared to 8MP), networks (3G compared to 4G), screen (854 x 480 compared to 1280 x 720) and chipsets (32-bit compared to 64-bit). But I can tell you that any of these might make a relatively okay phone since it's entry-class.

looking for budget phone around rm500 for my parents
currently they are using galaxy grand duos quattro and need to be replace
my target is Asus Zenfone Go ZC500TG. any other phone better than this within same price range? dont want to go for xiaomi or huawei because of reliability issue.

xiaomi redmi enhance 2 !!!!!!!!!

Guys...

Which one is better. Redmi note 2 or mi4i.. I got a coupon so that i can buy a mi4i at the same price of redmi note 2..

In terms of camera and specs, which one is better?

But if i buy mi4i with rm650, only can get the 16gb one. The 32gb one is not available for me to use the coupon. Only can get 16gb version. If i get the redmi note 2, i can put micro sd card, no problem. But i think memory is not really a problem. I used huawei only 8gb built in, combine with 8gb microsd, still got 1gb balance.

Also, i heard the heat issue of the mi4i.. Though they update to miui7, still got overheat issue.

So, to go with redmi note 2 or mi4i 16gb.. Mediatek vs snapdragon, the camera, the performance, heat issue. Worth it to get mi4i or just get the new redmi note 2..

Thanks

Most obvious winner would be the Redmi Note 2 on specs-on-sheet.

If no budget?
Apple: Want small hand size, pick iPhone 6S 64GB, want bigger? Get the iPhone 6S Plus 64GB.
Samsung: Want small hand size? Waiting for Samsung Galaxy S7 (debut Feb 2016) or current Samsung Galaxy Note 5 32GB.
Huawei: Huawei Mate S (Premium Hardware + 2 years Premium Service after Sales)
Sony: Sony Xperia Z5 Hands down.
HTC: Nope
LG: LG G4

You are welcome. Xiaomi Redmi 2 or Redmi 2 Enhanced might a little out of your budget.

When talk about reliability, is about luck on budget phone.

Huawei is your best bet in case you are in bad luck. 6 months 1 to 1 exchange policy.

Below are some random suggestion. Look at Lazada with Voucher to get cheaper.
Honor 4C / Redmi 2 Enhanced / Lenovo A7000 Plus / Meizu M1 Note / Meizu M2 / Lenovo P1m / Alcatel Flash 2 / Zenfone 2 Laser

Buy the Redmi Note 2 from Xiaomi Website, save some money buy casing or microsd card 32GB.

This cash back and lazada must use phone app is it??

cashback kena use browser .

mi4c is better spec vs all above but i think 16GB internal version kinda hard to live with after awhile

Hello sifus.

1. Brand : Any (ap set welcome)
2. Budget : Rm1500 below
3. Specs : Any
4. What you need in the phone : good camera for outdoors, good battery for whole day use, good durability, good aftersales service & dual SIM ( SIM1 4G + SIM2 4G/3G )

To warrant a good battery life almost certain has to have 3k batt else sure fail.

Can only think of Samsung Galaxy A8 for your requirement.

Rm1589 on Lazada or search around in garage sales saw some going as low as 1350.

Can you help me to find a smartphone budget below rm700

At least
- 2GB RAM
- 16GB internal storage
- Can expend MicroSD not less than 32GB
- Good back camera (16/8MP) and 5MP for front
- Can capture decent photo at night
- Good battery (3000mAh)
- Potential to upgade OS to v6 (marshmallow)
- Easy to find accessories like back cover and screen protector
- Good and fast GPS lock

My list: Mi4i/Mi Note 2/ Alcatel Flash 2/lenovo Vibr p1m/miezu m2/miezu m2 note/asus zenfone 2 laser/lenovo a7000 plus

Which that can give more bang for bucks?

Budget mid range Redmi Note 2.
RM1k range can't think of any.. the LG G3 meet your need but doesn't have good battery life..

Pick Phablet or One-hand using.
Phablet: G8
One-Hand: H7 or Mi4C

Pick fancy fingerprint scanner: G8 or H7

golden list of requirements, looking for the same.

Bonus to have:
add Android 5.0 minimum.
add Gyro and Compass sensor
add f2.0 camera with larger sensor
add GPS Glonass and BDS
add fast rapid charger

Which model has the closest match?
