i was told AP set's rom may contained bloatware and sometime malware. Whereas ori set c/w official rom. Maybe u can go to RN2 to ask abt this when u decided on this model. I dun own rn2 but knowing this is best bang for buck model. If u know better bang for buck model do let me know.

OPX ftw

Imported set basically is China set and it comes with China rom. There's a lot of useless apps and some of them could drain your battery and slow down the performance. You need to flash to another better rom before you can use. It can be troublesome for people who don't know how to flash.

MY original set comes with Global rom. You can use the phone right out of the box. No rubbish apps. No nonsense. Hassle free. Price is of course slightly more expensive than AP set, but it gives you peace of mind. For me who is lazy to flash, it's worthy.

If you have doubts, you can go to their service centre at Plaza Lowyat. There's a display model for you to play with.

And yes. I used to be a Xiaomi phone user (Mi3, Mi4i & RN2).

What's currently the best android below 3k

1. Brand. (HTC/Samsung/LG/Motorola/Others)
Any

2. Budget. (1.5k-2k)
Max 2k, lower is better. Can go slightly north if required.

3. Specs. (Ram/Proc/Camera's MP/Screen size)
Well this is kinda hard. Android specs are nice on paper but does not tally based on the real life usage. I think a min of 3GB RAM is nice. I am looking for a GPU/CPU which in on par or better with the Iphone 5s playing MOBAs like Vain Glory (please disregard this comment if it is not valid - i simply picked it up based on my experience playing games on Android & IPhones).

4. What you need in the phone (Good camera/good sound quality/durable)
- Will use it mostly for gaming, FB, Whatsapp, etc
- Does not lag on 3D games
- Decent battery lifespan
- Decent community support (easy to root and customize)

Been reading on some threads and have my eyes on LG G4 (bootloop issues?), 1+X (Poor gaming performance?). Buddies are asking me to go for the Note5 or S6 though. Am currently on Xperia ZL.

1. Brand. Any except Samsung (too common)
2. Budget. Maxed out
3. Specs. Maxed out
4. What you need in the phone : Responsiveness, ada gaya, good for testing new apps, all rounder la

ps : Expecting the Nexus 6p to be the recommended phone but saw back a couple of pages and noticed a LG V10 being recommended so yeah

And also with the upcoming G5 but Youtube comments got a lot of them telling LG's UI sucks etc.

Also a Mac user so it wouldn't hurt if the phone can work nicely with my Mac, eg : remote presentation, control my Mac

Decided to go for an Android phone as college focuses more on Android apps than iOS's so iP6s is out of the way

Thanksssssssssssssss

I sort out the according to warranty, so LG V10 will be out as there is no official warranty for this phone.

Real king beneath the true spec, the Huawei Nexus 6P, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge 64GB, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus (32GB), LG G4, and Sony Xperia Z5 Premium all are on the list.

Most expensive with gaya would be the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.
Most expensive highest spec is Sony Xperia Z5 premium with 4K screen, most suitable for VR if you want to try Google VR, or other VR box. 2K resolution with around 534 ppi still not enough for VR. But for normal usage, the AMOLED screen from Samsung and Nexus 6P are much more better.

But for me, all maxed out model from each brand are good.
Just pick the one that you think most gaya to you, with local original warranty for peace of mind.

Hello sifus!

1. Brand. Any except Lenovo
2. Budget. 300-500 (secondhand)
3. Specs. (Can fb, ws, internal atleast 16gb, 1gb ram, battery gooding)
4. What you need in the phone : Screen must be 5.5'' above!! This is wat important coz phone for my parents. They want big2 screen size one.

Thanks!!

Meizu M1 Note, Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 are close to your budget.

Note 5, V10, Nexus 6P

was thinking rn3 3gb 32gb version as its quite value for the money...
i saw some comments on lelong saying cannot connect to digi and um 4g for some reason
after reading somemore... realize that the company will open the box and flashed to some rom that is suitable in malaysia
any feedback on buying these fn3 china models?

my RN3 is working completely fine. It's LTE compatible on Maxis line, fingerprint is fast, battery life is superb, helio x10 is fast enough for moderate usage, camera is better and focuses faster than RN2. One thing about buying AP (imported) sets, you have to be extremely careful while using it cuz once its damaged, you're going to have tough time claiming the warranty

Buy RN2 if you're worried. Malaysian set

sounds good to me... which shop did u buy it from?
was thinking just buy from directd or some similar shop

Should be ok with Digi and Celcom?

If you opt for RN3, I suggest you to wait for local set. According to latest news, Xiaomi is going to release RN3 in Malaysia soon.
