saw tered in garage selling sme.. damn..

btw note 5 specwise just extra ram, and octacore rite?

Yea. Note 5 better front cam.

And also the battery, Note 4 removable, Note 5 not. If u are d type that likes to buy a spare battery n exchange it when ur phone battery is gone, then Note 4 is a gud choice.

Note 5 don't has Micro SD card too, just stuck with 32GB Memory. (No 64GB version, even S6 don't has 64GB version for Malaysia market, but S6 Edge and S6 Edge+ do has 64GB version for Malaysia)
If you prefer the cloud storage, or you would bring a thumb drive with OTG, this is not an issue, but those option is much less convenient than Micro SD card.

You can't use the cloud service if data speed is low, then data transfer eat up data quota too.
For OTG, it's form factor is much bigger than Micro SD card, and is not directly attached to the phone.
Apps cannot conveniently transfer to cloud and OTG too.

hi, in dilemma looking for some recommendation.

i'm currently a Xiaomi Mi3 user, i'm very satisfied with my existing phone, and i like the ease of use of the MIUI a lot because it's straight forward and user friendly, unlike those sub menu in a menu type.

i need to give away my Mi3 and get a replacement, below are my requirements, many thanks for all the advice in advance.

me myself is looking at Mi4i currently, but not sure if there are any better options.

1. No specific brand
2. Below 1K
3. 2/3GB ram, other specs equivalent or better than Mi3
4. Main concern, user friendliness. my Mi3 is very user friendly to me.
Must have 4G LTE.
Good camera, long lasting Spec (can last me for another 2 years)
High capacity ram (I find 2gb ram somehow is lacking in my Mi3)

please tell me if what I am looking is too much to ask for, or not being realistic at all.

Just a quick guide, for below 1K, choice are scarce:

1. Huawei Honor 6, 3GB RAM, has 4G, has Micro SD slot, comparable chip set. (Only below 1K for online shopping, or visit shop like DirectD, Huawei outlet sold this around RM1099)

2. Xiaomi Mi4i (16GB or 32GB), has 4G, but still 2GB RAM, you can get 32GB version, less than capable chip set if compare to Mi3, no NFC.

3. Meizu MX4, 16/32GB, 2GB RAM, has 4G. No Micro SD slot.

4. ASUS Zenfone 2, 2GB RAM, 32GB version, has 4G, but there are many issue reported on battery life, camera quality and over heating.

5. Xiaomi Mi4, has 3GB RAM, but no 4G, Snapdragon S801 2.5Ghz. Only 16GB, no 64GB for Malaysia market.

6. Elephone P8000, 3GB RAM, 4G, but Mediatek MTK6753 chipset (same as the one used at Meizu M2 Note)

Much cheaper option: (With some drawback on performance, but maybe comparable to Mi3)
1. Meizu M1 Note, 16/32GB, 2GB RAM, has 4G
2. Meizu M2 Note, 16GB, 2GB RAM, has 4G

Sorry, let you has more dilemma.

Thanks alot for the add on options, haha.
indeed lots of dilemma.

among all the options i guess my best is Huawei Honor 6.
then 2nd for Mi4i. Mi4 does not have 4G so i guess there's no point for me to change, i could just buy a cheaper phone to give away instead.
Zenfone 2 indeed i've read about many problems.

I also did saw another option, which is Asus Padfone S Plus.
with Snapdragon 801, 3GB ram, and 4G.
downside is the battery capacity is only 2500mah.
it's running on Kitkat, any idea if it's capable of going Lollipop?
anyone has any comment on the Padfone S plus?

Thanks again.

Padfone S Plus already has Lollipop, just released by last month, already has 2 release, but it is still very new, dunno if stable or not.
Available to be downloaded at ASUS support website.

For me, Lollipop is not a deal breaker.
Indeed, I found Kitkat actually run more stable than Lollipop, and faster too.
All apps that can be installed on Lollipop, can be install on Kitkat too, even Jelly Bean is able to run those apps without any issue. (One of my device become more lag, drain more battery, lesser feature, after Lollipop update, not all Lollipop implementation is the same)

The limitation is more on the phone hardware itself, where the processor's and graphic chip's raw capability is the real bottom line.

(Padfone S battery capacity is just 2300 mah, not 2500 mah)

appreciate the correction.
the catchy part of the asus Padfone S plus is the specs to price wise. @ RM 899 for this spec.

how would you rate between Huawei Honor 6 and Asus Padfone S plus?

I apologize for the many many questions asked.

Thanks.

S Plus has 64GB vs 16GB storage, and slightly better chip set (well, just on graphic chip department, processor performance almost equally same).
But ASUS Padfone S battery is just 2300mah, Huawei Honor 6 is 3100mah, huge different.

Huawei Honor 6 screen also is brighter too, then build quality is a bit better, where the glass cover on the back, thinner and smaller.

My vote go for Huawei Honor 6, also at RM899.

dun forget there is oppo find7 going below 1k now

can u help me find a phone for my mum.
1. samsung, lenovo
2. Below rm700
3. she mainly use for whatapps and browse internet, preferable large screen.

I actually get a black color unit by RM998.
Please look back the discussion here on Oppo Find 7.

1. Battery life is poor.
2. May has screen yellowish issue after months.
3. Touch screen ghosting issue (self touch itself) after long use.
4. More easy to crack, as reported by other forum.

Think before buy.
But at RM998, no phone is as this cheap with these spec.

Hi guys, I looking for some recommendation.

I aiming on the one plus two, but the price that came out really surprise me and read out some of the review on youtube, is just a so-so phone.

So i went to the shop and they give me 3 option
1. Vivo Y35
2. Vivo X5
3. Samsung J7

Later i pass by Sony center and tested the latest C5 is quite meet my require also but too big for me but i still put in my list, and also the smaller version M5
4. Sony C5
5. Sony M5

What i require
1. Dual Sim dual stanby ,got Lte is the best, if not i can live with 3g
2. Great Camera
3. 2g ram or higher
4. 5 inche to 5.5 inche is acceptable
5. RM1000 to RM1500++

Currently using MIUI and i love the UI.

limbeh manual update to cm12

How about Huawei Ascend Mate7?

Hi guys can recommend me below rm1.5k?
rm1500 is my max edi..

ram must be 3gb ram & 32gb or 64gb

With this price, you can get Huawei Honor 6 Plus, dual sim standby.
Then, you can get Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, dual sim standby also.
Both are 3GB RAM, 5.5" to 6", got LTE, and great camera.

Less favorable option would be ASUS Zenfone 2, 4GB RAM version.

But beware of the dual sim. Most of the implementation only allow 1st sim to standby for 4G, and SMS, another just can used for voice call, like what Zenfone 2 did.
Preferable to have dual sim phone with real dual standby that can actually used sms and data on both sim.

LG G3
OnePlus One never settled

how much is both of it now?

i thought OnePLus two is almost out? out budget?

You should able to get Oneplus One 64GB not less than RM1199 on local Malaysia set.

I direct ask Maxis before, price including GST is RM1270.94.
Other shop I ask at Penang, max can reduce till RM1250.

Maybe shop like DirectD can have the original price at RM1199.
