BAHAHAHHAA

i know your feeling bro. next year, 1 year hence, as long u got what u need.

Zenfone 2 that came with FHD screen and 2GB RAM that one RM899 iinm.
Don't get the one with HD screen only.

Mi4i Get the 32GB storage, or else you stucked at pretty bad 16GB Internal.

Other alternative: Honor 6 RM899 (pretty much out stock everywhere) or top up find your local OPPO Store see still got OPPO Find 7 (RM999).

try hunting those phone on lazada.
can get the 4gb ram +32 gb internal around 900+

Battery wise

battery wise.. erm.
depend on usage. abit on higher than our normal mediatek / snapdragon cpu

at the end of the day, I still don't have much good feeling toward Intel SoC x86 for Android.

Zenfone 2 with HD reaching EOL already.

Performance wise, they are trying too hard to compete with high end cpu, but at the same time, they sacrifice battery life. Intel atom 3xxx is actually good cpu if they reduce clockspeed to 1.6-1.7ghz. More balance to performance/battery life.

Hi,

Wanting to get a mobile phone for my MUM (65 years old).
Limited usage, camera, whatsapp, bloomberg, facebook and fun games like candy crush.
Importantly is quick/no lagging.
Currently she is using Samsung, which she is used to it.
But i've look around, seems like Asus Zenfone 2 specs seems good.
What do u think?
Any other options?
Budget: RM800-RM1000.

Thanks in advance!

Need Recommendation..

1. Brand: Any
2. Budget: RM1000 or lesser the better
3. Specs: 2GB Ram (3GB better)/ PreferSnapdragon / Screen size (more than 5" better)
4. What you need in the phone (Quality/Durable/Most important no LAG)
5. Was thinking of xiaomi.. oppo find7 sure kenot find d..

optimization of zen2 in my case is meh vs what huawei did for P8

even my old s3+custom rom-lolipop 5.1.1+3k battery (RIP) is ahead of zen 2 in battery life wise At very least 5 SOT is an easy task

1. Brand: Any
2. Budget: RM1000 ish
3. Specs: more than 5" better
4. What you need in the phone: Quality/Durable/Most important no LAG
5. need to recommend for fren, she have bad experience with redmi 2 (slow gps lock down, lag, and other hell lot of problem)

Another thing that need to be careful is the processor.
ASUS release a 4GB RAM, 32GB storage version with 1.8Ghz processor in other country.
This model is imported for sales in Malaysia too (Lazada got it), but is AP set.
Beware to check and not to buy this set, even the price is lower.
(Priced below RM1K, where official 4GB RAM, 2.3Ghz version sold in Malaysia is starting from RM1099, now is RM1199)

Only choose to buy the 2.3Ghz processor version, because only this version onward comes with earphone, and Fast Charger.

The deluxe version with 128GB internal memory is also a value buy if really want a taste of what 128GB can store (even high end phone sold in Malaysia don't sell with this option, and it is a lot cheaper than the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus), and still come with the Micro SD slot for expansion.

One thing I don't like on Zenfone 2 is the too many pre-installed bloatware, which is so much more than a Samsung Touchwiz bloatware, that need to be disabled one by one.
The phone also has some strange frame drop or lag in high end gaming, which need to be totally closed and re-loading the game to make it smooth again. It is not happening all the time, but the problem do occur very frequent.
I briefly own the Zenfone 2 for 2 weeks.

1. OPPO Find 7, if you still can find it selling, RM998, 5.5".
2. Oneplus One, need top up more on RM1K, 5.5".
3. Huawei Honor 6, if you still can find it selling, RM899, but is 5" screen.
4. ASUS Padfone S, 5" screen, 64GB, 3GB RAM, but battery is too small, poor battery life.
5. Xiaomi Mi4, 5" screen, but this one doesn't has 4G, and only comes in 16GB storage, no Micro SD, personally not recommended, even the performance is good. RM899.

6. Lower end, you get Meizu M2 Note at RM699, 5.5" screen.

AP Set below RM1K, you can get Xiaomi Mi4c, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 2.
As they are AP set, don't know if the network support for Malaysia 4G, and don't know if the set comes with Google Play store. (Most China set don't installed with Google Play)

thanks... how about 1k-1.5k budget... i maybe push her buy better phone if not after 1 -2 year become lag, slow or even spoil...

I think he just missed out the most hottest phone right now. The Honor 7 RRP1399.

Yes, if push up to RM1.5K, there will be plenty to choose from:

1. Huawei Honor 7 (RM1399)
2. Samsung Galaxy S5 (RM1499)
3. Sony Xperia Z2 (RM1399)
4. Oneplus One (64GB) (RM1250)
5. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (RM1599)
6. Huawei Honor 6 Plus (RM1399)
7. Xiaomi Mi Note (RM1549)
8. Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro (RM1399)
9. ASUS Zenfone 2, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage (RM1399) or 128GB for Deluxe version(RM1599) .
10. Meizu MX4 Pro (RM1399)

At around RM1K, there is also Meizu MX4, 32GB (RM999)storage version.
Lesser known model would be the Lenovo Vibe X2 (RM799).

At super budget, ASUS Padfone S 16GB version and Lenovo Vibe Z now selling at RM599.
