I suggest you to go with a new phone in case you felt that it is no longer useful enough. Otherwise, if you still feel that your phone still have hope, go with the first option (repairing).

Stock Android? Xiaomi Mi 4 is your best bet for now (you need to add RM 49 in SatuGadget, but this should be the best for now). Another one would be Mi 4i- a refresh with Snapdragon 615 and has unofficial port for it (the latter has official port).

Online GPS basically needs you to be online all the time, while offline GPS lets you to use GPS without internet: but you need to download the maps and the maps may not be available.

Redmi 2 Prime = Redmi 2 Enhanced. Only difference is that Redmi 2 Prime is made in India.

Lenovo A5000
Asus Zenfone C
Lenovo K3

I'm not too sure though: I haven't tested any of these before. But for a good performance-to-price ratio, the Lenovo K3 would be the best out of the three.

Not too comparable there. But if you buy the upgraded variant of the K3- K3 Note, this would make them somewhat comparable.

Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML, 4 GB RAM variant) and OnePlus Two. Bear in mind that both of them has Full HD/1080p screen compared to some other flagships that has Quad HD/1440p/2K.

Then it would be okay enough. 4 GB of RAM makes a relatively smooth phone. Well, both of them will get Android 6.0.

The Meizu M2 and the Alcatel Flash Plus makes a good all-rounder compared with the other phones around here. If pricing is a concern, you should go for the Redmi 2. Asus Zenfone C is the lowest of all of them, but still makes a good fight if you're comparing with some other offerings under RM 400.

Elephone P8000
Lenovo P70
Lenovo A7000+ (if you want a good all-rounder at a great value)

Actually both of them are pretty much the same, except for some differences.

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.

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.

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

If you want almost no bloatware on your phone, it's better for you to go for OnePlus One or Mi Note.

Hi there. My dad really need to change his Samsung Galaxy S3. It really shows its age already because it was overheating a lot and also its battery life was quite short.

Brand: No specific preferences, but he don't really like Xiaomi.
Budget: RM 700 or below, if worth it maybe can top-up a little.
Specs: Screen of at least 5.0 inches or bigger, big battery, good processor.
What he need in his phone: He is not going to do any gaming there, because all he do with it was just to use Facebook, WeChat and WhatsApp. He also will be out most of the time, so big battery and a good battery endurance would make a good one for my dad. And also, he want his phone to have minimal lag and probably frills-free.

Currently I felt like Lenovo P70 seemed suitable for him. Is there any other recommendations for my dad? Let me know as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

P.S: My dad didn't want to buy his phone online since he's quite old-schooled.

Hmmm..... seems nice. Any other recommendations there?

Okay. Thanks for the recommendation.
