Currently using iPhone 4 8Gb looking towards android phone. Interested in 6P but will wait for Msia official release and pricing before making final decision.

So in the mean time considering cheaper options if I decide to not get 6P.

1. Brand Any
2. Budget around RM1.5k
3. Specs 3G Ram min, good GPU for game, preferably 32GB ROM min (Used parents 16Gb redmi and mi3 with MIUI, confused about how the storage works, quite frustrating)
4. What you need in the phone (Good camera & BEST VALUE FOR MONEY)

Read a lot here and reddit android and very interested in Mi4c for its specs/price ratio, still its seems not popular from the Mi4C thread even if there's a lot of recommendation in this thread, I wonder why..

Honor 7: Mentioned to be best bang for buck but very concerned about its GPU capability.

1+1: seems to be getting less attention in this recommendation thread??

Zenfone 2 with 4Gb ram: Bloatware? and relative GPU performance to the above 3 models?

Feedback would be very much appreciated as I've been cursing my i4 ever since. Thanks guys

OnePlus One 3GB/64GB/5.5" (Snapdragon 801)
Xiaomi Mi4C 3GB/32GB/5.0" (Snapdragon 808)
Xiaomi Mi Note 3GB/64GB/5.7" (Snapdragon 801)
Huawei G8 3GB/32GB/5.5" (Snapdragon 615)
Oppo Find 7 3GB/32GB/5.5" (Snapdragon 801)
Lenovo ZUK Z1 3GB/64GB/5.5" (Snapdragon 801)

Edit: If you want bigger screen but less heat on playing, pick Snapdragon 801 devices, Snapdragon 801 have very capable GPU, even I play Anomaly 2 which is high intensive graphic and able to handle many units on screens. RTS games.

Yea I know thanks for your input appreciate it. Its just that after almost 2 years 1+1 price still didnt drop much and I'm reluctant to pay that price for a 801 from 2014 when 820 is just around the corner. 1+1 price still higher than Mi4C if I'm not wrong?
Looks like it too thanks =)
*
Then just take Mi4C then, if you okay with MIUI and self installing Google Play Store and services.

I was considering Alcatel Flash 2 until i found out that it is missing compass sensor.  sad.gif

End up buying Meizu M1 note. Not really great but good enough for me.

The A7000 Plus (aka K3 Note) also within your budget, why you didn't opt for that? Got latest 5.1 AOSP ROM to flash on top as well (if you are flasholic as well) even the VibeUI also running 5.1.

Budget aside.

In terms of latest phones in the market right now... would you recommend ip6s,samsung s6 or xperia z5?

QUOTE(BacktoBasics @ Nov 17 2015, 11:04 AM)
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
*
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

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.

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

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

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

1) Motorola, Huawei, Xiaomi, OnePlus
2) Budget between RM600 - RM1350
3) Mid-range Specs - Fast/not-lagging, user-friendly interface/navigating within the phone
4) Durable and good battery life

Not exactly a heavy phone user, only heavy on general apps such as internet browsing, whatsapp, fb/Instagram and games like PvZ and candy crush . Seldom use the camera functions too hence I felt my first, and current, Iphone 5 was underutilized since its suppose to be a high-ended phone equipped with varieties of (complicated) functions.

Phone Models recommended thus far

Motorola: Droid Turbo 2
Huawei: Honor 7
Xiaomi: Mi4i or Mi4C
OnePlus: OnePlus Two (though seems to have exceeded my budget)

Transitioning from iOS to Android so hoping for something that is user-friendly. Appreciate alternative brands aside from the ones mentioned above.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the recommendation.

How does Huawei G8 fare against XiaoMi Mi4C?
Is it better or on par with Huawei Honor 7?

Thanks again  notworthy.gif

Depend which perspective you looking at.

Mi4C is NOT officially selling here. So no Global ROM, we have to fix our own shit for Google services, guide available online, so depend how tech savvy you are. It rocking best SoC among the others two, Snapdragon 808, and other spec sheets, I guess you check gsmarena for that..

G8 is "Officially" selling here, with local warranty support, rocking the best Fingerprint sensors like Nexus 6P or Honor 7 or Mate series.. EMUI based on Android 5.1. Is having better GPU than Honor 7 Kirin, but not the CPU raw power. Oh but wait, it have OIS capable on the camera.

Honor 7 also Officially selling here, almost identically to G8 but there some minor spec better than G8, like the CPU raw power mentioned earlier.. WiFi AC (well not sure you use or not) or Bigger megapixel (but no OIS)

So is all up to you... Check out the phone itself, list out which feature are more important to you.

If you are not tech savvy enough to flash CyanogenOS yourself, don't buy it. It just a dupe of OnePlus One with fingerprint scanner.

Want local warranty? Pick OnePlus One.
Want fingerprint scanner? Pick OnePlus Two, Huawei G8, Huawei Honor 7
