Need recommendation from you guys.

1) Brand: No particular, any brand can be accepted.

2) Budget: < RM700

3) Specs: must have 4G LTE ability, at least 8MP rear camera, at least HD display screen, Android system, must have GPS ability.

4) What you need in the phone
The phone I buy for my mother (60years old). Her usage I expect will be Waze navigation, FB and web surfing, play game (simple game like candy crush, not hard core game like Asphalt 8).
Previously she using bad camera quality phone (the old kind press button phone), so when I get her a smartphone I will expect she takes selfie and pictures a lot, that is why I want 8MP or above rear camera. Front camera if within the budget can have 5MP will be very nice.
Screen size for user of this age I will think 5" + - is the best. 5.5" should be the maximum.

Thank you.
Note: I personally looking at Huawei Honor 4X, but was thinking is there a better  alternative. Please let me know if you have a recommendation.

That is the best bang bucks at the moment, got good warranty support, the balance of your budget buy micro SD card (must) due to low internal storage and other accessories like tempered glass or flip case.

If u can sacrifice 4g lte, u can go for many more choices such as zenfone 5, zenfone 6, many budget lenovo phones, refurbished iphone 4s, or maybe secondhand phone like xiaomi mi3,lg g2, s4..

For a proper reply, please consider Sony Xperia C3. Retail price dropped to RM795 few months ago.
This C3 performs in the selfie section. Please see below link for more information.

Hi guys, need some opinions here.

1) Brand: Any brand

2) Budget: <1.2k

3) Specs: any

I'm considering One Plus One as it seems to be the best bang for the buck, but Mi4i launching this week, so I thought of waiting to see its price. However, I've heard the processor of Mi4i is power consuming and not that good. Then there's Mi4 as well, dilemma dilemma. What are your views here?

1st phone recommendation: Redmi Note 4G, Honor 4X.

2nd phone recommendation: Zenfone 2 (4GB RAM, 32GB ROM variant at RM1099), Honor 6, Oneplus One (64gb ROM variant, but no microsd slot though) top up slightly for LG G3 or Honor 6 Plus

Mi4 - 8MP front cam, gud for selfie

Oneplus - if ur a flash-aholic

Honor 6 - if u nid microsd slot

top up for LG G3 for a nicer display, removable battery and microsd slot.

I know he already mention MUST HAVE.. But incase he is willing to sacrifice, who knows right? People decision might change from time to time mr penguin..

Hi, if u can topup your budget a little bit and u can add LG G3 or Xperia Z2 into your options..

One plus one is still the best choice la IMO if u are into root n flashing roms.. Can get 64gb at 12xx now..

Meizu mx4- if u dare to try.. Build quality is good..

Huawei Honor 6..

Xiaomi mi4.. Miui rom is nice woo (this is totally personal)..

Xiaomi mi4i currently got overheat cpu issue when gaming.. Check youtube, mi4i gaming test and temperature check.. Well, software update maybe could fix it (by throttling maybe).. Else not sure..

Hi,

Zenfone 2 4gb ram comes with intel z3570 2.3ghz cpu..

In term of gaming, the cpu comes with PowerVR G6430 (same GPU as found in apple A7 of iphone 5s, probably only different in clock speed).. I bet that this gpu will perform as good as Adreno 330 in snapdragon 800/801 phones.. So gaming should be no problem..

Camera?
Hmm this one is a bit difficult.. Most reviews tht I read/watched mentioned tht the camera is decent not best..

Fast internet?
This phone got LTE

Memory?
U got 32gb and 64gb options..

No lag?
There will be lag of course this is android, but at minimum level.. There are so many factors to consider when we talk about lag, but I will say this phone will perform very well.. And the lag should come once in a while.. After all this phone use Asus custom UI..

Battery life?
Decent.. Not going to achieve the good endurance of z2 or one plus one la.. But should be good enough..

Temperature?
check utube video, i forgot this one..

1. Brand : Don't really mind, would even consider china brand if needed
2. Budget. rm500-700
3. Specs. somewhere around 1.5-2 GHz, don't really mind the camera, preferably 5"
4. What you need in the phone : Processing power is my main priority, and the build quality as well, wondering if there's something premium-ish like the mi4 somewhere in the market

Yea. Mi3 is still a gud buy if u can find a new one. Its snapdragon 800 processor is gud and stable.

Never bought phones from taobao b4, so cant comment much. Better check the seller's customer review b4 buying. nod.gif

Maybe u can look for mi3 in garage sales. brows.gif

Hello everyone. I need a suggestion for a new Android phone. Currently using Xperia V. It's still functioning but starting to show signs of lagging. I bought it because I never liked big screen phones, but now I'm thinking my phone is too small. It is still a good phone for me and very durable and strong. Fell many times often on hard surface but thankfully still working. So here are my preferences:


1. Brand. : Any brand will do. But I'm on my third consecutive Sony so I am quite loyal to them. Interested with HTC/Oppo as well. Samsung not so much.
2. Budget: MAX RM1.5K
3. Specs:
Screen: 4.4'' to 5''. No more than 5 inch. Too big for me.
Android: One which updates Android frequently. My experience with Sony is their updates with Android are very slow if they update at all.
Camera: Front-2MP> Rear 8MP>, OIS
Storage: 2GB RAM, MicroSD

4. What you need in the phone: Durability. My Sony is amazing. No screen protector, fell face down on tarmac road still functioning. I am clumsy so durability is a big plus. Other than that, good battery life, good quality camera, fast processor because I don't like lagging.

Hi, just want to suggest One Plus One 16gb...
It will cost u less than 1.1k after GST (from directd, AP set)...
Only a slight topup from your budget and u get a very powerful phone..

Other suggestions for less 1000;
- Zenfone 2 2gb ram 1.8ghz quadcore
- Xiaomi mi4i (got heat issue when gaming for now, dunno if there will be update to fix it)
-Xiaomi mi3 (if u can find a new one, but no 4G LTE)

If u dont mind secondhand phones less 1000 (usually);
- galaxy s4 LTE version
- galaxy s5
- xperia Z2
- LG G2
- Nexus 5 (not so good battery life and camera but super smooth OS)
- galaxy Note 3 LTE (phablet 5.7in)
- HTC one E8

All of these phones are top specs phone, except Xiaomi mi4i which is midrange, but i think still powerful enough (opinion)..

Xperia Z3 compact, if not mistaken the AP set is less than RM1.5k..but it doesnt has OIS camera.. Sony phone still got no OIS camera till today (correct me if am wrong)..

Nexus 5: update very fast and frequently.. But no MicroSD card.. Camera, even got OIS is decent only.. Battery life is also not so good..

Galaxy S5: 5.1inch.. A bit bigger than ur preference.. But very powerful camera even no OIS, very good battery life and got microSD slot.. However the Touchwiz OS could be good and not good to u and also slow update.. Price is a bit higher than 1.5k (ori set), AP set maybe below 1.5k..

LG G3 32GB: meet all your requirements except 5.5in and not fast update (lately very fast but who knows in future?)..battery life is decent only.. 5.5in of G3 is very compact, u will feel like holding 5in phone..

Yea. Mi3 is still a gud buy if u can find a new one. Its snapdragon 800 processor is gud and stable.

Never bought phones from taobao b4, so cant comment much. Better check the seller's customer review b4 buying. nod.gif

Maybe u can look for mi3 in garage sales. brows.gif

why not grab Mi4I? doh.gif

Mi3 is very hard to grab that used set IMHO.... and if u grab those model, i think they just sold 16Gb models niah...

Brand: Any brand except those with the Chinese UI, e.g. Xiaomi, Honor/Huawei.
Price: Up to RM1500 or less
What I'm looking for: Phone with similar specs and size to the Xperia Z3 Compact; the screen must be below 5"
Looking around, I can't seem to really find any other phone that can match the Z3C itself sweat.gif

Brand: Any would do but prefer much famous brands as they have much more dev support

Price: rm500-800 & rm1000-1300. really conflicted here.my xperia ZL just died.Was planning to change phone to whatever flagship that comes out next year but now seems have to change plan. So Im torn between buying a 'cheap' and 'decent' phone. Wanna hear your suggestions on this one.

Spec: ~5inch screen, decent camera,decent battery. I like flashing custom ROMS but only because the OEM was to slow/lazy to update the software (sony and samsung.. dry.gif ). So if the model is known to get good software support then Ok enough for me.

I think the most obvious choice here would be 1+1, but I would really appreciate it if you guys can give other suggestions. Want to explore my choices. If got flagship phone coming out end of this year-early next year worth waitng for, then I think I'll just buy any cheap phone for the time being.

Thank you!

Well u already have the answer.. U can have both cheap+flagship phone if u buy One Plus One.. No other phones could beat One plus one's price to spec ratio right now.. The closest one i think is Zenfone 2..

U want to flash custom rom with your device? samsung and LG smartphone are the easiest one..their flagship usually will have development for couple of years. sony usually got locked bootloader (can be opened with extra efforts) and HTC also like Sony if not mistaken..

Most chinese smartphones doesnt have large customer base, therefore less development.. I think only OPO, some famous Oppo and Xiaomi phones got lot developments..

Rite now, OPO is the best choice la.. But other suggestions are LG G3, Xperia Z2 (both AP set are below 1.3k)..

Zenfone 2 is ok la.. Got beast spec, but it is a new phone so of course there will be little (if any) development for it right now..

Haha.. Nope.. Never buy asus phone before..
Still running old nexus 4..

I mentioned zenfone 2 because it meets their requirements la..
There are a lot other chinese phone like Huawei, Acer, Oppo but since I dont really know their specs (and price) so i dont mention it..

But i agree with u.. Zenfone 2 battery is so so only... 3000mah for 5.5in full hd phone.. Mehh.. Also Asus is new to smarphone business so i dont think they already get a best recipe for battery optimization, so dont expect they will achieve good endurance with small battery..

P/s: guys, my suggestions will usually focus on phone with flagship specs (both high end and budget).. I dont really know midrangers like s5 mini htc one mini bla2.. For me these midranges are not worth it.. Rather shoot for budget flagship la..

Hi, may i know what are the criterias that made u choose Galaxy A7?
Is it because of the slimness and metal design? Because of dual sim/sd slot? Because it is samsung?
I can suggest only when i know what are your priorities..

Just bought myself a one plus one! let's see how does it fare later. biggrin.gif


Just being curious, how's the overall user experience for phones by huawei and Asus? Can anyone comment?
Does it get regular updates? Any famous models by them that had decent dev support previously?

Well, in my honest opinion, the current best camera for android phone is the Note 4 hands down. Haven't play around with S6's camera yet. But reviewers are saying S6's camera is even better than Note 4. So either 1 of S6 or Note 4 would do you no wrong. Maybe u should consider factors like do you need a stylus. brows.gif

LG G4's camera is very gud too according to MKBHD's latest review. But then the price of G4 is sky high at 3k+. sweat.gif

If u want long lasting battery, better take Note 4/note edge la..
S6 got top notch specs but battery life will be beaten by note 4 and note edge..

Note 4/edge also got micro sd.. Already 32gb inside + microsd..

Or maybe LG G4? But i agree, the current price of G4 is ridiculous..

hi guys

need few recommendation from all of u for below:

1. Brand - Any but not China model (such as Huawei, Xiaomi, or etc.) because reason #4
2. Budget - around RM500-RM600
3. Specs - Any. 4G or LTE is not required. wasting battery life.
4. What you need in the phone - Good Camera, Reasonable Battery Life, Sturdy Design (not so fragile)

Currently putting an eye for Xperia C3, Zenfone 5 or Zenfone 2. but any other alternative?

Samsung S6 Edge else u can grab LG G4 from Direct D , which cost you same price as S6 Edge RRP, 3099 IMO

and i think u just go youtube to find MKBHD's LG G4 Review for your req.

hi guys

need few recommendation from all of u for below:

1. Brand - Any but not China model (such as Huawei, Xiaomi, or etc.) because reason #4
2. Budget - around RM500-RM600
3. Specs - Any. 4G or LTE is not required. wasting battery life.
4. What you need in the phone - Good Camera, Reasonable Battery Life, Sturdy Design (not so fragile)

Currently putting an eye for Xperia C3, Zenfone 5 or Zenfone 2. but any other alternative?

Zen2-power hunger, fast GPU and I/O mark not bad.. smile.gif

and Zen 5 4G best fits.. but why wonder that not going for RedMi note 4G? laugh.gif even i tested my sis RM Note 4G kicks with my Maxis number works well laugh.gif

Very hard to go for non-China phones only, I would go with either Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE500CL), Huawei Honor 3X G750 or Lenovo A936/Golden Warrior Note 8

We dont have a lot of good options maa with that small budget..
Of course u gonna face poor battery life but u get what u paid for..

Other phones also got pros n cons, therefore it is up to buyer to choose which spec to sacrifice and which spec is more important..

Anyway, if i choose to buy zf2, i ll rather add another 100 to jump for zenfone 2 z550ml model..
Z550cl spec is too mehh..

hello you kind folks. sorry to trouble you people again. can you help me here?

I initially PM ed a few forumers, as well as posting in few threads, but right now I'm in this situation where picking up a phone isn't a no brainer at the moment

I'm looking for phones that meet these criteria,

a) qualcomm processor
b) 3GB RAM
c) 16GB minimum storage
d) can be rooted /flashed with custom ROMs, with xposed framework support
e) rm1300 circa

for some reason or another the phone I shortlisted wasn't to be found, so finally I did some comparisons again and found the list grew. butt again these are not easily found phones


1) oneplus one
2) LG G Pro 2
3) LG G3
4) Samsung galaxy note 3 (can get at rm1300????)




as you can see I listed these 3 phones, and I'm leaning towards the lg g pro 2, because of its 5.9 inch screen size (yes I'm a sucker for big screen sizes because I use android devices to read manga consume visual media )

but I also need some advice as to how good the GPS are since I play Ingress and I want to pick the game up again .

as for the note 3 I'm not too keen on the abysmal UI and rooting or installing custom ROM voids the warranty so badly you don't have second chances at it.


any advice?

Good headache to have. I'm currently using LG G Pro 2 and the GPS works very well. Can lock very fast using Waze, but Ingress not so sure.

More choices actually for that kind of budget & requirements, you can also consider Sony Xperia Z2 and Xiaomi Mi 4. But I will go with OnePlus One if you are on the modding path.

hi there thanks. will add the two phones and xiaomi Mi note pro into the list, but then again some of the phones are on different price bracket and so it remains to be seen how good they are for the price.


right now it seems that the oppo find 7 is the better oneplus one, sans the firmware, but then again for the price (rm1700?) there are other options such as the LG g3.

price point aside I'm still open to ideas. still got a few days left before I book one online or go to the shops that I trust to get a unit .



by the way, since you use the LG g pro2, how's the modding scene? I'm probably heading towards cyanogenmod with xposed framework. this frankenstein setup had served me very well in the past, and I wonder if this is the same for the lg g2 pro.

I dont think note 3 is below 1.3k at the moment.. But if u r ok with secondhand unit, u can get it at 1k..

Since u really like rooting and rom, u better go for a famous device just like one plus one note 3 g3.. Not sure about xposed framework, but usually if there is a lot of users, there will be good dev for it including xposed modding..

Oppo is too expensive for a chinese phone.. And the spec is the same as one plus one.. I dony think oppo get good development as one plus one. Better go for OPO, u can save almost 500..

Have to agree about the ridiculous pricing of OPPO. Now there is VIVO but the price is tad ridiculous too. Will check if LG G3 have the ability for combined storage, or else it's the 1+1 despite the camera without +OIS.

I see. Then i think Zenfone 5 is the best option at the moment, provided that i dont need the 4G version.

it seems that there are very limited option by slashing out those China phone.
I am currently using Huawei Honor 4X but i had few problem last time when using China phone.
Its not so big problem or any major defect for me, but considering this phone is for my parent, i think i need to give them some "trouble-less" phone.

Last history for China phone is below:
1) Huawei Honor 3C - used for few months and screen not responsive. Exchange with new one within a week.
2) Redmi Note - Keyboard/Screen not responsive and occasionally restart.
3) Huawei Honor 3C Lite - damn lag tongue.gif
4) Huawei Honor 4X - sometimes touch sensor slightly delay

but as i mentioned, this is small issue that happen sometimes and i can bear with it.
But i dont think my parent will know how to reset a phone when there is an issue come out biggrin.gif

thanks for the recommendation smile.gif
anyway, Zenfone 2 is one of my eye list.
But looking at the spec, probably i would chose model ZE550ML due to less screen pixel density and higher battery capacity, so that it can compensate with the battery lifetime.
the 500CL battery is too small and other model 551ML have higher pixel density that can eat the battery more.

but need to pump out more cash cry.gif

Huawei Honor 6 for RM949 which has 13MP-5MP or go for Sony Xperia Z1 Compact for RM985 which has 20.7MP-2MP. If you prefer smallish screen, then the Z1 Compact is good to go.


if you can stretch just a little bit to RM1199, then Meizu MX4 for has a larger screen, 20.7MP-2MP camera, octa-core processor and 3100 mAh battery would do you good.

between honor 6 plus and honor 6, the RM300 price difference between the two is tough to be justified.

but if you think the additional 8MPx2 camera + 0.5 inch larger screen + better chipset + 500 mAh higher battery is worth the RM300 price, then by all means go with it.

If u are dual sim user + selfie, I think it's worth it to get the Honor 6 Plus. Coz 6+ have 8MP front cam and dual sim for local set.

And also some extra battery juice + screen size.

So kinda depends on what you want, if you wan bigger screen + selfie + local warranty dual sim, then juz go for honor 6 plus. But higher price. nod.gif

Can also consider Huawei Honor 3X G750 or Lenovo A936/Golden Warrior Note 8 with octa-core processor & 2GB RAM for just RM100 extra than Redmi Note 4G. But do take note the Honor 3X got no 4G LTE ya.

Which one has best camera? They cost more or less the same.

1) OPO installed with Oppo camera APK
2) Samsung S5 (excellent good lighting photos but abysmal low light shots)
3) LG G3

currently aiming for htc m9 , is there any phone better than this around that budget

Depends on your main requirements for the phone. For productivity, can get Samsung Galaxy Note 4. For comparable camera & water-resistant, there's the Sony Xperia Z3. For style and innovation, there's Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, or just go for the top-of-the-line LG G4.

In this price range, most of them have good camera already. But for 2GB RAM, dual sim, LTE & good battery life, there's Huawei Honor 6, Meizu M1 Note and Huawei Honor 4X

Currently have a broken one plus (cracked screen) and the bottom half wont respond to touch.

i was thinking of


i.Fixing the screen (costs 400)

ii.Sell it off and buy a new one plus

iii.Selling it and buy a completely new phone (rm500 phone + rm400 added)

iv. Just buying a rm400 phone because all i use the one plus for is whatsapp and facebook messenger. other than that i use spotify every day religiously but i don't think it uses up much battery and i think sound on smartphones are generally the same (i use a pair of good iems). occasionally i stream movies in HD but i wont care because i can use my PC for that. its just a convenience thing so i can watch it on the sofa/bed instead of my shitty office chair. but really. i dont mind

Guys, which phone more bang for buck?

Looking at Honor 6 since price drop to 899.

Or Mi4i, Meizu mx4 or Honor 4x?

Is Honor 6 dual sim and how do these phones perform in terms of GPS?

tired of my free phone

Need a good camera performer, preferably with OIS.
If 16GB storage then SD slot is a must, 32GB up no need sd already
OTG is a must
Dual sim preferably

budget within 1.8K
am thinking LG G3 dual, any other suggestion?

Well, if ur still into oneplus, can get a new one at RM999 from directd's lelong page. brows.gif

Honor 6 if original Malaysia set only single sim, but u can get Honor 6 dual sim set which is original import set from sellers like DirectD. Of coz warranty can only be claimed from the shop that u purchase.

Kirin chipsets (Honor) is quite good in GPS detection based on what I've been reading in Honor 6 thread. Phones powered by Snapdragon processor also have good GPS detection and stable too. Just avoid Intel or Mediatek phones as they take more time for GPS to lock in. Maybe around 8-10 seconds, which is too long imho.

Can consider Honor 6 Plus (dual 8mp camera, bokeh effect), Huawei P8 (pre-order, camera with OIS), Xperia Z3 dual, S5 duos (only 2gb RAM).

Honor 6 plus and P8 got local warranty support. S5 Duos, Z3 dual and G3 dual only import set, meaning warranty is by the shop that u purchase from.

Or, u can go for the best, LG G4 dual. But damn costly, 2.4k+ sweat.gif

Btw, I'm also looking for a flagship dual sim phone. Not much in market. Even if got also import set. sweat.gif

Asked at Huawei shop, they quote me honor 6 plus RM1595-1695
can't remember exactly, lost interest when i heard its so much more expensive than buying online.

And that leads to:
How is Huawei support service in Malaysia? Is P8 worth the wait? RGBW camera, but the battery... sweat.gif

fed up with Sony, previously using 2 generation of Xperia

the only samsung i had is galaxy nexus, still working but the screen already greenish. S5 duos seem okay, camera slower than G3 though.

Why LG Malaysia didn't carry so many phones to local!?!? mad.gif

Actually am kind of skeptical buying import set phones even I never encounter any phone failed me on the first year. (chicken whistling.gif )

BTW, i do some research and found out both Meizu mx pro and Mi4 seems nice. without OIS that is.

Yea. If u wan 6+, buy online better. Cheaper. vmall selling 1399. Next flash sales is 9 June.

P8 seems promising, but yea, the battery is a bit low, not even 3000mah. Android Authority's review on the battery life just so-so only.

Camera without OIS is ok, if u have firm hand when snaping photo. icon_idea.gif

Just go for G3 dual ba. brows.gif

How does honour 6 compare to one plus one? I heard better things from opo, but does the price reduction make honour 6 a better deal?

And I read a review that says honor 6 doesn't come with corning gorilla glass? Is it true?

Between Huawei Honor 6 and OnePlus One personally I'd go for OnePlus One.

Loved the extremely active modding scene.

But if that's not your priority, both also good devices.

Actually opo also drop price dy. About 999 can get new set from DirectD. brows.gif

Not sure bout Honor 6's gorilla glass. Some review say it has Gorilla Glass 3, but in vmall website nothing mentioned bout it. So better to just install tempered glass sp onto it as soon as u buy it. nod.gif

Both Honor 6 and opo have it's pros and cons.

If ur a heavy flasher or modder, wants bigger screen, can opt for opo.

If ur just a casual user and u wan the external microsd slot, can save up the extra RM100 and go for Honor 6.

I can think of Meizu MX4, Sony Xperia Z2, and to a certain extent Meizu MX4 Pro if you can up your budget a bit more; if solely focusing on camera. But a better well-rounder would be LG G3 and Huawei Honor 6 Plus.

if you want to last 3-4 years, get the flagship with hexa-core or octa-core, 3GB or 4GB RAM, 16MP or 20MP camera and so on. but price would be expensive.

So, you're saying that Huawei's firmware is quite reliable? Better than that of miui? Cause i'm having a pretty good time with my xiaomi now. Had a redmi and used redmi note awhile then went back to redmi 2. Now i want an upgrade, like mi4i. But i see honor 6 seems like a better deal than mi4i.

Im not to picky on getting the latest updates in firmware, as long as it can perform smooothly. I only use my phone for basic games, gps and occasional insta-worthy photos.

Not much choice if u only limit to Snapdragon SoC, there is LG G3 Dual, Xiaomi Mi Note.

U can also consider Honor 6 Plus. Processor is Huawei's in house Kirin processor which is quite good too.

Dude, chill. You misunderstand me. I have zero idea on Huawei's developed UI. I didn't shit on your opinion. I'm just clarifying what you meant coz i didnt understand your previous post too clearly. If you are saying that EMUI is way more stable than MIUI, then all the better for me since i'm going for Honor 6 instead of continuing my MI range which i have enjoyed.

Dude, chill. You misunderstand me. I have zero idea on Huawei's developed UI. I didn't shit on your opinion. I'm just clarifying what you meant coz i didnt understand your previous post too clearly. If you are saying that EMUI is way more stable than MIUI, then all the better for me since i'm going for Honor 6 instead of continuing my MI range which i have enjoyed.

OMG, You still don't get my post. Read properly, I didn't dismiss your claim. I like MIUI perhaps coz i use my phone for basic use. I don't have a clue on EMUI, so from your post, you seem to imply EMUI stable, and that's good for me. But your post was unclear, you may have been dissing EMUI for all I know, so i replied to get clarification. So, just because I say i like MIUI, I'm posting some shits without doing homework? Read carefully before shitting on other people's post.

But anyway, I got your message, EMUI is good, that's all i needed to know.

1. Brand = Any?
2. Budget = Less than 1.5k
3. Specs = Good camera, smooth with games (Normal games like CoC, no need so high-end that can support super 3D games)
4. Type/Size = Candybar? 5.5 inch is preferable.

I was looking at OnePlus One, but after reading the thread macam got alot of issues with the CM11/12? I'm looking for a stable phone. Is Honor 6 Plus good compared to the OPO?

I'm currently using Xiaomi Note 3G, apps that uses GPS can crash anytime including Waze. Often, when taking photos, the image will not be saved to memory (damn wtf..then I take photo for what..)

Please recommend ya, thanks!

Can consider Honor 6 Plus, LG G3, Mi Note, LG G Pro 2.

Yea. Honor 6 Plus is better in terms of able to support microsd card, camera, front camera and battery wise. nod.gif

Haven't used either 1 of the phone. But according to reviews.

Although the OnePlus One has the better software over the Honor 6 Plus, its camera performance leaves a lot to be desired. In our review of it, we weren’t very fond of its camera performance. The 6 Plus, on the other hand, proved to be a very capable shooter.

His purpose is for gaming.. Honor 6 gpu is decent only.. They build a great kirin cpu but paired it with a not so good gpu at the moment it being released..

I think with rm800 he can also opt for zenfone 2 z500ml (720p version) at rm699...
This one got better Gpu than the one in honor 6.. But beware, zenfone 2 got not so good battery life n camera as compared to honor 6..

Addition: i will search for xiaomi mi3 (rm8xx), usually lelong still got plenty of stocks... This one got good cpu gpu battery life and camera as compared to both models above..

All phones got OS issue but it depends on the software team to whether fix it as fast as possible or not.. Usually team like samsung apple htc etc will fix their phone issue as fast as possible..

Differently with one plus one, they r slow.. Of course they r new kids in mobile phone industry maaa.. Cm11 doesnt get as many issue as cm12.. The best thing about OPO is tht they hv a lot of users and developers.. So if the official software got prob, u can always try many custom rom around.. N usually there are a lot of tutorials to fix this common OS issue.. U can do it by yourself instead waiting for the official update..

Yeah, can't avoid issues laugh.gif

What do you think about Huawei? Are they considered fast? Or just so-so?

My wife has a Honor 6, so far after using it for months, still good and smooth. The OS is quite stable IMO. I guess I'll need to have a think, Honor 6+ or OPO smile.gif

I'm not too interested into changing ROMs, that's why I'm not sure if OPO is good for me.

Thanks!

but even if you don't do any modding on OPO, the price is very tempting.

other than that, it is all about whether spending the extra on Honor 6+ merit the 8 cores vs 4 cores, 8MP*2 vs 13MP camera, got SD slot vs no SD and dual-sim with single sim.

Mi budget phones are surprisingly good in camera department. But mi4i isn't one for gaming i guess.

Mi4? might be slightly above 1000, but no idea on cam quality. selfie cam is 8mp tho.

Budget very low. If possible under rm100 or rm 200 max.

Actually want to buy basic phone. Not smartphone.

Need for the mp3 player can play mp3 by choosing folder. I listen to audiobook mainly.

But many basic phone only can play all. Good if you want to listen to song. Bad for audiobook.

I don't really want to choose android is possible as I want small size and good battery life.

Not quite sure, but i think CoC needs to have at least 1gb RAM to play smoothly. Suggest u to top up and go for Redmi 2. Paying more but at least the built quality is gud.

Can also consider Galaxy J1. I do recall some telco if u sign postpaid plan with them, the phone is complimentary.

I'd go with ipod or other mp3 player except that they are much more expensive than a feature phone or low end android phone.

Hi, need sifu advice on the phones below, I'm really torn between which one to choose.

My usage model:
1. Need dual sim & at least one sim with LTE/4G
2. Need good browsing speed (I use Chrome browser a lot)
3. I use Google Now, Google Map and Waze a lot
4. youtube, and social media (whatsapp, wechat, FB)
5. Hope the phone has potential upgrade to Android M or Lolipop 5.1.x
6. Good battery life
7. Budget below RM1.5k


I've narrowed down my choices to:
1. Samsung Galaxy S5 DUOs
2. LG G3 dual sim (model D858)
3. Asus Zenfone2 4G/64G or 4G/32G
Currently I'm using Redmi 2s, can't stand the 1GB ram, always stutter/lag when browsing. Battery life so so only.

Anyone knowledgeable about phone above mind to let me know the good /the bad?
If you have other alternative phone suggestions please recommend too.


Thanks!

Oneplus One, Mi4 or Honor 6 plus for me. Zenfone 2 battery issue.

If ur a heavy flasher or modder > OnePlus

If u nid microsd card support + high capacity battery + dual sim > Honor 6 Plus

If u dun flash much and can live without microsd card > Mi4

Since last year, they change the standard to microsim dy. Almost all phone also use microsim. Of coz u can go for Redmi 1S, Galaxy Grand Neo, Lenovo S580 which all uses regular sim. But these phones are considered entry level and low end. And the models all oso from 2014, quite old in android technology.

Based on ur budget, u can get flagship device dy, like Honor 6, OnePlus One etc. But ur regular sim requirement is a big hold back.

So basically it's like, do you want a flagship phone with microsim or do you want a low end phone with regular sim? Which sacrifice are u willing to make.

The best phone that still uses regular sim is the Mi3 if I'm not mistaken. I'm using it with my regular sim size.

Anyway, any particular reason u dun wan to change ur sim to microsim? hmm.gif

Hi, need sifu advice on the phones below, I'm really torn between which one to choose.

My usage model:
1. Need dual sim & at least one sim with LTE/4G
2. Need good browsing speed (I use Chrome browser a lot)
3. I use Google Now, Google Map and Waze a lot
4. youtube, and social media (whatsapp, wechat, FB)
5. Hope the phone has potential upgrade to Android M or Lolipop 5.1.x
6. Good battery life
7. Budget below RM1.5k
I've narrowed down my choices to:
1. Samsung Galaxy S5 DUOs
2. LG G3 dual sim (model D858)
3. Asus Zenfone2 4G/64G or 4G/32G
Currently I'm using Redmi 2s, can't stand the 1GB ram, always stutter/lag when browsing. Battery life so so only.

Anyone knowledgeable about phone above mind to let me know the good /the bad?
If you have other alternative phone suggestions please recommend too.
Thanks!

Best phone below RM1.5K would be LG G3

hi all..

my iphone 5 just die..and i need replacement sad.gif

early i'm aiming for xiaomi redmi note 4g or xiaomi mi4i..
but my budget have been cut down below RM500

any phone can you guys recommend below rm500?
mainly use for call and whatsapp/line and email.
*
If you can up your budget until RM599, it would be Huawei Honor 3X G750
If cant stretch, than at RM499 would be Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G.

Huawei Honor 4x vs Meizu M1 Note. Looking for an affordable phablet. Main use will be GPS, browsing, camera. Like the 4x's SDcard and Note's FHD screen but can't have best of both worlds I guess.

1. Brand. Asus zenfone 5 (A501CG), Huawei 3C, Huawei 4C, Lenovo A7000
2. Budget. RM600 below
3. Specs. 2GB RAM, 8 or 16GB ROM, good processor
4. What you need in the phone:
-No lag
-dual sim is a must
-good camera/video
-external storage capability
-aftersales service (just in case)
-no or few bloatware (but as long as it doesn't eat too much ram thats ok, probably)

I am pretty much an average user. mostly used whatsapp, telegram, line, usual web surfing, watching youtube
listen to music messaging, calling. as for games I only play chess, reversi, poker some angry birds (not into games such as asphalt, etc.)
my current samsung SIII have start to show its age thus need a replacement.

seriously looking at both huawei 3c and 4c as well as asus zen5. A7000 still needs some reading though. needs some user input on these phones

will definitely going for black colour and put a tough case such as spigen.

4G, is it important to have right now?

Since price is the same, if you can live with no SD card, then Meizu M1 Note is a better choice.

If based on your specs, the best would be Huawei Honor 4C. Perhaps you can consider Lenovo A936/Golden Warrior Note 8 which has 4G? Huge screen and have 4G and other specs you mentioned.

Z3+ available already? Can't comment much but LG G4 seems to be doing great as well. If going by your requirements + aesthetics, Galaxy S6 Edge wins.

For around 800+, I think Honor 6 is the best buy dy. LTE, microsd, Sony IMX214 sensor.

There are other phones, but not as worth it as Honor 6 in my opinion. Like Mi3. But then Mi3 doe snot support LTE and microsd.

If u can top up to RM900+, can go for Oneplus.

Hey everyone,

My elder relative wants to buy a smartphone and is looking at the current prepaid bundled phones by telcos. Considering the:

- Lenovo a319 (4.0 inches)
- Alcated Pixi 3 (4.5 inches)

Anyone got feedback about these phones or ever owned them before? Concerns would be battery life and stability of the software (less random reboots, incompatibilities etc).

Thanks in advance smile.gif

Honor 6, Redmi Note 4G, Honor 4X, Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 2GB/32GB. But tbh, I think Honor 6 is the most worth it at below 1k price point.

1. Brand = not particular, any reliable one will do. Need warranty support though.
2. Budget = RM600-700 max
3. Specs = 16gb, 2gb ram, Snapdragon would be preferred
4. What you need in the phone = long battery life and durable.

Any that falls within these specs? Thanks.

For around that price range, u can go for Oneplus One, LG G3, Honor 6 Plus or Zenfone 2.

If u like to flash or mod ur phone and can live without microsd expansion, go for Oneplus One. nod.gif

Of ur three choices, I would suggest the S6, one of the top android camera phones. LG G4 can rival it, but the price of G4 is 2k+.

Just go for S6 imho. nod.gif

2. What you need in the phone: which one of these two offers better performance? I need smooth web browsing and youtube, whatsapp, call and lag free phone. I don't play games at all.

Help me to choose between these two.

If u dun do gaming, snap 615 phone should be sufficient, but if u do game a bit, might as well go for snap 800/801 processor phone. brows.gif

1. Brand: Huawei Honor 3c or Asus Zenfone 5 A501CG only

2. What you need in the phone: which one of these two offers better performance? I need smooth web browsing and youtube, whatsapp, call and lag free phone. I don't play games at all.

Help me to choose between these two.

Why not Honor 4C? Just RM10 difference. Honor 4C would be an upgrade in camera, processor, battery compared to Honor 3C. nod.gif

I'll carry this around with my galaxy note 3.

Will use it to call only one other number as it's a supplement line and got free 2000 min calls a month. I usually use loudspeaker when calling so call quality must be clear both side.

Will be using it to listen to mp3 and podcast using primarily loudspeaker. Only rarely use headset. Sort of replacement to a mp3 player.

Time to upgrade my wife's phone, she's currently using Note 2.

1. Brand
Any. No objection to Huawei, Xiaomi etc. if they fit 3. and 4. below. Of course the normal Samsung/Sony etc. is fine as well
2. Budget
2k, lower is of course better.
3. Specs
Camera 13MP or higher, storage space 32gb or (preferably) 64GB, 3GBRAM. 5+ inch screen. OIS preferable
4. What you need in the phone
First priority is good camera, second is storage space more than 16GB
After that, mainly a matter of value for money. For example if phone X is 2k and phone Y is 1k and the difference is not much, I prefer phone Y. Except in 2 criteria (camera, storage) stated above.

Currently considering Sony phones for camera purposes.

Based on ur budget, can go for flagships like Galaxy S6, Xperia Z3, LG G3.

For lower price, can go for Mi4, Honor 6 Plus or Honor 6. Both Mi4 and Honor 6 is using Sony IMX 214 camera sensor, which is quite good based on my naked eye. But of coz not as nice as S6's camera la.

That's all good model. Though it's all import model without official warranty.
Buying something with that price really need a good warranty for me.

And the stylus too. Since I sometime use stylus need galaxy note line

Yea. That's the con. All import set, so warranty is with the shop that u purchased from.

If that's so, better continue to hunt for cheap secondary phone for ur sub line. smile.gif

Can also consider Honor 4X, Redmi Note, Padfone S. Padfone S at RM700+ is quite a good deal. Cons is the small battery. If u have a powerbank, then it'll be ok.

U can alo top up for Honor 6 or Mi4, more RAM and better processor.

Hi all sifus, I'm considering to get a new primary phone. Would like your opinions:

1. Brand - No preference
2. Budget - 2k+/-
3. Specs - Nothing in particular, generally all round decent specs will do.
4. What you need in the phone - Again, nothing in particular. Long battery life is a bonus, removable battery also a bonus.

Coming from the old Galaxy S3, I was interested in Galaxy S6 but was put off with the lack of SD card. I would very much prefer to just plug in my current SD card on to the new phone rather than copying all my MP3s over.

I would welcome recommendation of alternatives. Heard about the LG G4 and HTC One M9 plus, any opinions? Pros and Cons?

Thanks a lot! notworthy.gif

U can insert ur sim in the watch, but then it feels weird to use it for call function. And if ur environment bising, habis lah. laugh.gif U can use ur sim's data plan too i think. But then I'm not sure if anyone would enjoy web browsing with such small screen. hmm.gif

Yes smartwatch with calling function. Samsung keyboard autocorrect my spelling. Jaha

Well I don't think I can browse with small screen. Only just for phone call to only one number. Maybe sms, but dunno if it's too hard with small screen.

Call quality and loudspeaker is also an issue too

You think current android watch still not good enough for calling?

Hmm. Somehow i feel android's watch, especially those on android wear os are not designed to make phone call. It's more like a notification center, u can view ur sms or email without taking out ur phone. Or u can use voice to reply sms when u are driving. Or set up alarm using voice.

I dont think android smartwatch on android wear will venture into standalone smartwatch wif call function. hmm.gif but i could be wrong. Maybe next google i/o, google will announce native calling function on android wears. laugh.gif

Well it doesn't have to be android wear. Other operating system also OK. Like samsung galaxy gear, using their own tizen os.

Been googling for this thing. Seems that is not as good as standalone phone like you said. Oh well

Can you suggest me another phone that have similar specification. Thanks !

1. Brand - No preference, but limited to reliable brand.
2. Budget - Max RM2000 but the less the better
3. Specs - 5.5++'' screen, a strong battery life, nice audio, can tahan lama and has resold value.

1. Brand - No preference, but limited to reliable brand. Nope to brand with unnecessary bloatware (eg: Samsung)
2. Budget - Max RM1400 but the less the better
3. Specs - max 5.5" size, full HD or better screen, 3GB RAM, camera doesn't matter. overall design is important(asus zenfone 2 doesn't look pleasing), battery can last a day with moderate use is good enough. dual sim not require. LTE,

LG G3 or Oneplus One still worth it lagi ke? Lots of recommendation toward these two.. but i heard G3 not so smooth?

Hmmm..

My budget is 1.2k

I want a phone with OIS and good camera.

32gb atleast for all the pictures and spotify songs.

And enough batt to last the whole day with LTE.

Hard Choice right.

And good enough hardware to match my oneplusone.

Or still useable 3 years after i bought it. Like the galaxy s4

1. Brand : none, any brand works
2. Budget : RM1k
3. Specs : 5.5in screen, dual sim, the rest don't really care
4. What you need in the phone : basically i need a phone with big screen and dual sim. Must be able to play candy crush smoothly and prefer with good battery life. I was zooming down on zenfone 2 but i read the users review that the battery life is really bad. So i need any alternate phones to recommend. Basic requirement is big screen size at least 5.5in and dual sim.

Thanks !

below rm600, can get Huawei Honor 3X G750 with its 13MP-5MP camera or Lenovo A936 / Golden Warrior Note 8 also with 13MP-5MP camera; both octa-cores. can also look for Lenovo Sisley S90, perhaps better for selfie with its 13MP-8MP camera but have quad-core and no microsd slot.

most android phones do not require you to root nowadays. only if you want to install certain apps, but for normal usage, no need rooting.

your requirements are too broad, if you like big screen, can go for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with its 5.7-inch screen. if you want great camera, can go for Meizu MX4 Pro with its 20.7MP-5MP camera, great selfie camera can go for Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90 with its 16MP-8MP camera. personally for me, i would go with Huawei Honor 6 Plus, best bang for buck at the moment.

with that budget, can go for Asus Zenfone 6 (A600CG) with its Li-Po 3300 mAh battery.

or you can always suggest your dad to carry with him a powerbank?

if can stretch a bit to RM549, best bang for buck would be Lenovo A936 / Golden Warrior Note 8. 6-inch screen, octa-core processor, 2GB RAM and 13MP-5MP camera. if have to be below RM500, then Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G with its 5.5-inch screen, quad-core processor, 1GB RAM and 13MP-5MP camera.

not sure bout hot level when non stop gps. but so far most phone will get hotter when using online navigation + data at same time + bright screen. ( most draining for ur battery)

my honor 4x lock very fast also. so no problem with that.
as for battery u really need backup powerbank if u want be safe.
buy 2 unit of that slim xiaomi 5000mAh battery my be ur best best.

Having got the G4 as my primary phone, looking for secondary phone now: biggrin.gif

1. Brand: Any but I guess those China phones are probably more value for money
2. Budget: RM 400-500
3. Specs: Nothing in particular
4. What you need in the phone: Good battery life is a plus.

I'm thinking Xiaomi Redmi 2 Enhanced with 2GB RAM. Any suggestion guys?

Well, seeing most people here seems lazy to do some study on the phone available.

Let me help you all out thought, choose phone based on the processor will be the safest bet.

Ignore those battery life claim, due to bigger, higher res screen, and 4G network, all phone battery life sucks.
Be prepare to bring wall plug charger or power bank.

Speaking back to the processor, only choose phone with Qualcomm Snapdragon high end processor, such as S600, S800, S801, S805, S810 and S820.
Even though those S800 series has over heating issue, they offer the best performance in day to day use, and gaming as well.
Forget S615 and S400/S410, they are just as slow.

RAM count, no need so worry, 2GB RAM actually is enough, more RAM doesn't make the phone faster, just good for multi-tasking, but average user seldom multitasking, even the OS itself will close the program if not used for very long time.

After that, come to the budget and brand selection.
Want the most high end and reliable device? Only buy from Samsung, Sony, Apple, LG, HTC, Motorola.

Stay away from budget brand like Huawei, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Alcatel, Xiaomi, Oppo, Meizu, Oneplus, ZTE, Ninetology.
Those budget phone is very good in value, and feature high end processor, high end feature at very budget price, but the quality and reliability isn't there.
You may buy those phone in a risky situation where budget allowed, but when your phone got issue, the after sales service just isn't there. Recommend just buy from ASUS, if local warranty is your concern, at least ASUS still has very respectable local support.

No money to buy high end phone? A very good advise is, buy the phone from last year flagship, which has price drop near or similar to those offer from budget brand. The old flagship, starting from year 2013, featuring at least Snapdragon 600 processor, are still very good, almost no different in feature compare to those phone offer in year 2015. They are still pretty fast, fast enough for everyday usage without any weird issue.

Lastly, my recommendation as below:
Over RM2000 budget:
Samsung S6, S6 Edge, Note 4, Note Edge, HTC One M9, LG G4, Sony Xperia Z3,Z3+, iPhone 6/6 plus

Around RM2000 to RM1500
LG G3, HTC One M8, Desire Eye, Butterfly 2, Sony Xperia Z2/Z3 Compact, Samsung Galaxy Note 3, S5

Around RM1000 to RM1500
HTC One M7, Sony Xperia Z1, Samsung Galaxy S4, LG G2


For those budget minded and won't mind on the headache on after sale service, here are some phone with high end Snapdragon processor, but with much budget price tag.
Oppo N3, Oppo Find 7/7A, Vivo Xplay 3S, Vivo Xshot, Lenovo Z2 Pro, Oneplus One, Xiaomi Mi4, Mi3, Xiaomi Mi Note/ Note Pro, ASUS Padfone S/S Plus.

For starter, recommend ASUS Padfone S/S Plus, Xiaomi Mi4, which spot Snapdragon 801 processor with less than RM1000. Guarantee those phone is lag free in comparison.

Move up a bit,, over RM1000, but below RM1500 you do get Oneplus One, Vivo Xshot, Oppo Find 7A, Lenovo Z2 Pro, Sony Xperia Z1, Sony Xperia Z Ultra.

On the highest budget end, Samsung Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 3, LG G3, HTC One M8, HTC Desire Eye, should be a pretty good buy. (Around RM1500++ to RM1700)

Stay away from other budget phone, especially those using Mediatek processor, and those from budget brand.

Now in Q3, at further price drop, actually S5, M8, pricing now very close to Oneplus One.
S5 and M8 actually offer much more than what Oneplus One can offer.
They just lose in pricing to Oneplus One.

Even at this price range, I will also consider buying LG G3, the price not that far away.

Oneplus One has it's own issue when come to service support, the quality is hit and miss.
There are a bunch of complain regarding this those getting a defect unit.
Well, congratulation for those people who get the good unit, but feel sorrow for those who get the defect unit.

For S5, M8, and G3, I don't have to worry on those defect issue, as the local support is pretty strong.

Ok, tell you the honest truth about Zenfone 2.

The performance of the phone is same as Snapdragon 801, or another word, same performance as Oneplus One, S5, M8, Oppo Find7, even the processor graphic card is high end. So, no complain on performance either, it is very fast. Only let down by the camera quality, and the phone battery life (usual high end phone issue, which suck a lot of juice)

One big issue with ASUS is the phone quality. Personally deal with ASUS android tablet before, and the problem is terrible, send to service center twice, at last the problem is solved. Used two year without issue. (ASUS Fonepad, by the way)

Another real issue is, the Intel Atom processor is not fully compatible with all the apps in Play Store.
You may get more apps crash than other phone using Snapdragon or MTK.
This is due to most apps is written based on ARM processor architecture, and Intel Atom is X86/X64 based.
Well, more apps compatibility issue is solved over the year, but there is not 100% guarantee.

My personal experience is, some apps is totally cannot install. Some apps often crash, need to restart.
Worse experience is after some apps update, the apps totally crash and cannot open.

Most popular apps have no issue though, but less popular apps may have issue.

Worth a try to buy, but you have to be ready to face those problem.

What I am talking here is more on the after sale service, and actual value per phone.

I personally don't own any phone from Oppo, Huawei, Meizu or Xiaomi, but I have friend who actually own them, and some of the phone has the usual quality issue. The phone warranty repair take a few weeks, so I have to hold back to actually own these phone.
Not everyone is getting the defect unit, but it will have long waiting period waiting the phone to get repaired.
(But recently Oppo service is getting better and better, anyway)
Even Samsung/Sony/LG/HTC is not perfect on its own quality, but they compensate these with local service support. At least the service they offer maximum just take 1 week for replacement or repair.

QUOTE(salimbest83 @ Jul 30 2015, 08:25 AM)

I do own a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, it is already 2 year old. I have compare with friend who own s3, duos, grand, prime, note 2. Simply, this S4 Active with Snapdragon 600 processor win hands down on the performance, apps loading, screen transition, gaming, just that fast. The S3 and Note 2 lag if the phone is installed with too many apps, and if memory is fully filled. The lag simply happen just on the simple swiping the phone UI. The S4 ACtive is simply still fast and stable, , no lag, even under heavy load.

As there is high end processor inside the phone with price comparable to phone with Mediatek processor, would suggest go for the high end processor instead of Mediatek.

I am not saying Mediatek is bad, but for the choices available, high end SnapDragon processor perform better than high end Mediatek processor, in term of speed and also gaming performance.

Most of the Mediatek chip also come with load of lower end or outdated graphic chip, and not every Mediatek chip is equivalent. Only very few Mediatek phone comes pack with high end graphic chip, and high end performance. Unlike Snapdragon 800 series, the Adreno 330 series chip is of the top performer, even it is installed on cheaper phone.

So, if the price is nearly similar, why not top up a bit to get a better one?
This is because I own a damn cheap Acer Liquid S2 (RM999), and almost similar price damn cheap Lenovo S960 (RM799), at almost the same release time.
The 2 phone are very similar in term of spec, with very cheap build material, and cheap outlook too, just the processor is different.
But the Liquid S2 simply beat the S960 in every performance, just because the Liquid S2 is packed with Snapdragon 800 processor.

There are exception though, the Mediatek chip on Lenovo Vibe X2 (MT6595M), and Meizu MX4 (MT6595) are of very high performance, but they are rarely available on other phone model.

It's very hard to get used to a slow phone after experiencing high end device.
That is why iPhone owner still choose to stick back to iPhone.

I am not saying SD 410 is not good, they just not worth the price on being at low end phone.
Because just top up a bit up to RM900, you can have a much better performance phone with higher end processor, such as ASUS Padfone S, Xiaomi Mi3/Mi4, ASUS Zenfone 2 550ML.

But at the end, we should buy phone according to our budget.
Pointless if only advise go for higher price phone.

Well, seeing most people here seems lazy to do some study on the phone available.

Let me help you all out thought, choose phone based on the processor will be the safest bet.

Ignore those battery life claim, due to bigger, higher res screen, and 4G network, all phone battery life sucks.
Be prepare to bring wall plug charger or power bank.

Speaking back to the processor, only choose phone with Qualcomm Snapdragon high end processor, such as S600, S800, S801, S805, S810 and S820.
Even though those S800 series has over heating issue, they offer the best performance in day to day use, and gaming as well.
Forget S615 and S400/S410, they are just as slow.

RAM count, no need so worry, 2GB RAM actually is enough, more RAM doesn't make the phone faster, just good for multi-tasking, but average user seldom multitasking, even the OS itself will close the program if not used for very long time.

After that, come to the budget and brand selection.
Want the most high end and reliable device? Only buy from Samsung, Sony, Apple, LG, HTC, Motorola.

Stay away from budget brand like Huawei, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Alcatel, Xiaomi, Oppo, Meizu, Oneplus, ZTE, Ninetology.
Those budget phone is very good in value, and feature high end processor, high end feature at very budget price, but the quality and reliability isn't there.
You may buy those phone in a risky situation where budget allowed, but when your phone got issue, the after sales service just isn't there. Recommend just buy from ASUS, if local warranty is your concern, at least ASUS still has very respectable local support.

No money to buy high end phone? A very good advise is, buy the phone from last year flagship, which has price drop near or similar to those offer from budget brand. The old flagship, starting from year 2013, featuring at least Snapdragon 600 processor, are still very good, almost no different in feature compare to those phone offer in year 2015. They are still pretty fast, fast enough for everyday usage without any weird issue.

Lastly, my recommendation as below:
Over RM2000 budget:
Samsung S6, S6 Edge, Note 4, Note Edge, HTC One M9, LG G4, Sony Xperia Z3,Z3+, iPhone 6/6 plus

Around RM2000 to RM1500
LG G3, HTC One M8, Desire Eye, Butterfly 2, Sony Xperia Z2/Z3 Compact, Samsung Galaxy Note 3, S5

Around RM1000 to RM1500
HTC One M7, Sony Xperia Z1, Samsung Galaxy S4, LG G2
For those budget minded and won't mind on the headache on after sale service, here are some phone with high end Snapdragon processor, but with much budget price tag.
Oppo N3, Oppo Find 7/7A, Vivo Xplay 3S, Vivo Xshot, Lenovo Z2 Pro, Oneplus One, Xiaomi Mi4, Mi3, Xiaomi Mi Note/ Note Pro, ASUS Padfone S/S Plus.

For starter, recommend ASUS Padfone S/S Plus, Xiaomi Mi4, which spot Snapdragon 801 processor with less than RM1000. Guarantee those phone is lag free in comparison.

Move up a bit,, over RM1000, but below RM1500 you do get Oneplus One, Vivo Xshot, Oppo Find 7A, Lenovo Z2 Pro, Sony Xperia Z1, Sony Xperia Z Ultra.

On the highest budget end, Samsung Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 3, LG G3, HTC One M8, HTC Desire Eye, should be a pretty good buy. (Around RM1500++ to RM1700)

Stay away from other budget phone, especially those using Mediatek processor, and those from budget brand.

So you said S615 and S400 is slow, but older flagships using S600 is okay? hmm.gif

And just a friendly suggestion, things aren't as bad as you make them out to be. I used to have thoughts like you, thinking Mediatek is bad; Intel has incompatibility issues, etc. Then I realized, every product out there has almost the same defective rate --there's always a chance of getting a really bad lemon out of the whole perfect batch.

Customer service in Malaysia is always bad. No matter phone, food, or clothes. I had a lot of bad experiences with Asus, along with few other people --respectable is not even close.

And like you said, they are budget brands, they've got to cut corners here and there --but so far I haven't had a single problem with my Mi3 running heavy games in and out. Things like that, etc.

Not blaming you or wronging you, but do keep your options open a bit --people like certain brands for the brands it self, and also aesthetics. Electronics all die eventually anyway lol

Its ok at the time they were launch but not on 2015 .

Your argument is conflict with ur own statement . Of course its ok because it using snapdragon 800 like the previous people mention in his list .
No one say mi3 is not ok . But there is always better phone out there . Budget phone must have compromise something its normal .

Um, what? Don't quite understand what you're trying to say lol. I'm mentioning the Mi3 because he did mention that people should steer away from these budget brands (Xiaomi included); which coincidentally, whilst they cut corners on certain things, it still runs well --which is what I am saying.

So... I don't quite get what you're trying to say, because you said what I said rclxub.gif

Yes, I agree, things aren't bad actually.
The problem is on the manufacturer them self, that confuse consumer.

I agree, not all Mediatek chip are inferior, as I said in other post, there are exception (MT6595, MT6595M, MT6795T all perform greatly), even the Intel chip, start from z3560 to z3580, are real high end chip.

I'm apologize and sorry to say that to stay away from Mediatek, but rather, I should say only pick the phone with high end processor chip to avoid lower performance.

There are now lower tier, middle tier and high end processor. But the pricing on the phone may confuse many people.
Some phone price may be priced very close among brand, but their performance should be justified among the processor chosen.

My main point still the same, high end chip may be found on comparable cheaper phone. It is better to pick the phone with high end chip rather than a phone with lower end.

Many newer release phone with lower tier and middle tier processor are priced very close to last year flagship phone. So, that's why I advise go for the last year flagship phone, as those will perform better than those middle and lower tier processor phone, given the price drop of flagship phone.

Another thing to say is, manufacturer only pack high end graphic chip on high end processor.
They pack everything high end in the same SOC.
So, pick processor to justified the phone performance, rather than the price.

As for the Xiaomi brand, and other newer budget brand, my point is more on the quality issue and after sale service. I know not everyone is having issue with Xiaomi phone, but should also consider the after sale service.
Because I have own phones with many problem before from budget and also problematic phone from big brand, and I realize the after sale service is very important to make sure those phone is problem free.

Yes they should . If they have option to +Rm200 something and get famous brand .
Mi3 is decent , but is not really great .

You trying to say it can compete with high end phone which is not true .
It is a great budget phone and thats all .

Well, what you said is true, budget phone is still a budget phone, and there are compromises.
(no 4G, no Micro SD card slot, no IR blaster, minus some of the sensor, some build quality compromise)

However, Mi3 at least on par with other brand on parts that is not a compromise. (1080p screen, 13MP camera, NFC, 3050Mah battery, 2GB RAM, 16GB Storage, Snapdragon 800). Dare I said they try to compete with high end phone with some compromise. (Of course, just can try, we know they cannot compete, but this is the phone intention)

Compare to other phone at this price range, this is a pretty good phone to start with, pretty much the most value for money, if people don't mind with the compromise. There is always a better phone out there, but won't be just +RM200 different for getting famous brand with almost similar spec. Only budget phone like this can exist at this price bracket.

Other worthy contender around this price range are Xiaomi Mi4, ASUS Padfone S/ S Plus, ASUS Zenfone 2 550ML (16GB) or ASUS Zenfone 2 551ML (32GB), Huawei Honor 6, Lenovo Vibe Z K910. (Again, only budget phone can exist)

this tered shud be suggesting the best phone available in our reader budget.
so far been buying lots of xiaomis n huawei to my workmates and families n frens amounting nearly to 20k.

my worst buy for them is asus zenfone 5 and 6..
real bad screen. almost unusable under sunlight. not to mention power hungry screen also. 3000mAh on zen 6 only worth around 2500mAh in real life.

with the coming of meizu m2 note in the market. i really love it. with price around 599-699 (depending where u bought it)
this is the new mid range phone with full HD, 2GB ram n 16GB internal with expandable storage.

Sorry for my previous post, I shouldn't say Mediatek processor is bad.
You are very kind of buying phone for your fren and family.

Down to the most realistic question, would be the price of the phone.
Below RM1000, only Xiaomi, Huawei, Meizu, ASUS, Lenovo can offer phone with better spec and performance.
Even though those phone at some respect still consider as budget phone, their spec actually is the same as what has been offered in high end phone by famous brand few years ago. So, at some point untrue also to consider those as budget phone.

It is pointless also to ask people to go for more expensive model, it is well depend on people budget, and suggesting the best phone according to a person's budget. Of course, it is always welcome to suggest, maybe just +RM200, that person will get a much better phone, only if that person can afford.

This year, Mediatek has improve a lot, as well as Intel Atom chip.
Big brand like Sony and HTC also rolling out phone with Mediatek chip too, considered a big step in choosing Mediatek chip for major brand.

Thanks, I think I'm out of topic on my previous post.
Processor do improve every year, newer generation processor do come out to replace the old generation from time to time.
S615 is actually very comparable to S600, it is better than S600 actually.

Performance is somewhat in between S600 and S800 series.
This processor is the answer from Qualcomm to Mediatek to compete in the middle range processor line up.

Hello sifus!! I'm going to directd tomorrow to get a new phone. My S3 finally kong dy. Its my first time buying a phone myself, previous phones all hand me downs. Need some opinions coz im totally clueless about smartphones.

Brand: Any

Budget : 1.2K max

Requirement: 1. Reliability/AfterService 2. Decent battery last 1 day. 3. Futureproofing ( last 2 years? )

Maybe my requirement a bit too high for my budget so im asking for opinions. Please keep in mind i do not know how to root or anything. Only used CynagenMod installer on my S3 once coz its all automated.

P.S: I did read around and it seems that the main choices are 1+1, Zenfone2 551ML, or Xiaomi Mi4i. Just wanna hear from ppl who have used it before.

Need recommendation for:

1. Samsung/LG/Moto/Etc
2. Budget 2k
3. Want good battery life (at least 1 day with moderate usage), good camera.

Right now using iPhone 6+, I'm looking at LG G4 and Galaxy S6 right now, which one is better? Or got other suggestions?
*
iPhone 6+ not good enough?
Galaxy S6/S6 Edge, LG G4, HTC One M9, Sony Z3+, Galaxy Note 4
Top would be Galaxy S6/S6 Edge.
But, you can based on screen size to choose those phone too.
Of course, if really can spend for 2K, top up a bit, look for this year flags.

Closest to your budget would be Galaxy Note 4, HTC One M8.
Minus -RM200, you may get Oppo Find 7, and Vivo Xplay 3S, LG G3.

Hello sifus!! I'm going to directd tomorrow to get a new phone. My S3 finally kong dy. Its my first time buying a phone myself, previous phones all hand me downs. Need some opinions coz im totally clueless about smartphones.

Brand: Any

Budget : 1.2K max

Requirement: 1. Reliability/AfterService 2. Decent battery last 1 day. 3. Futureproofing ( last 2 years? )

Maybe my requirement a bit too high for my budget so im asking for opinions. Please keep in mind i do not know how to root or anything. Only used CynagenMod installer on my S3 once coz its all automated.

P.S: I did read around and it seems that the main choices are 1+1, Zenfone2 551ML, or Xiaomi Mi4i. Just wanna hear from ppl who have used it before.

Maybe only Oneplus One suit your need.
Top up +RM200, you can get Oppo Find 7A, just slight slower than Oneplus One, but you get removable battery, and Micro SD card slot. Or Huawei Honor 6 Plus, Meizu MX4 Pro
Minus -RM200, you may get Xiaomi Mi4, but Mi4 don't has 4G support. Or Meizu MX4.

This suppose is a joking post from myself.
There are tons of Android phone flourish into market, with various spec and price.
I think no one can fully understand those phone without really using them.

The spec is mix and match among the processor, screen, internal storage, battery size, OS version, then OS optimization/customization.

For me is, it is very hard to judge a phone is good or bad without even using it.
Personal preference on brand's OS implementation, optimization and customization also impact on buying guide too.

I've tried many phones. I've had an iPhone 6 as my daily driver for 4 months, but due to iOS restrictions, I've always had an Android with me as well. This year alone, I've tried G2, G3, Redmi 2 (non-enhanced), Honor 4X, Honor 6, S4 (before the switch to iPhone), S5, Note 4, OnePlus One, Moto G (first gen)... some used for days, some for months. My wife uses an Oppo Find 7a which I am very fond of and runs beautifully for its price.

All of the phones I've tried have some sort of issues or limitations based on my usage. The most ideal phone for me is likely the Note 4 or G3 ori, if price is not a concern. However, in weighing the price vs feature factor, I finally sold my daily and is now using another S4. Yes it is a 2-year old flagship, but it has great features and can easily compete and win against any of the newer budget phones. What was great 2 years ago will not suddenly become pathetic now just becos there are newer (not necessarily better) phones.

I'm not a heavy user, but I do a lot with my phones, like reading (Aldiko, Flipboard, etc), GPS (Waze, Runkeeper, etc), Hearthstone, Facebook, Whatsapp, uTorrent, Mi Fit, stream radio (DI.FM, etc), record expenses, sync notes, record audio, record video, take pics, edit pics, view videos, email, sync calendar, etc etc.

QUOTE(Alan Yee @ Jul 29 2015, 09:31 PM)
Speaking back to the processor, only choose phone with Qualcomm Snapdragon high end processor, such as S600, S800, S801, S805, S810 and S820.
Even though those S800 series has over heating issue, they offer the best performance in day to day use, and gaming as well.
Forget S615 and S400/S410, they are just as slow.

RAM count, no need so worry, 2GB RAM actually is enough, more RAM doesn't make the phone faster, just good for multi-tasking, but average user seldom multitasking, even the OS itself will close the program if not used for very long time.

After that, come to the budget and brand selection.
Want the most high end and reliable device? Only buy from Samsung, Sony, Apple, LG, HTC, Motorola.

Stay away from budget brand like Huawei, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Alcatel, Xiaomi, Oppo, Meizu, Oneplus, ZTE, Ninetology.
Those budget phone is very good in value, and feature high end processor, high end feature at very budget price, but the quality and reliability isn't there.
You may buy those phone in a risky situation where budget allowed, but when your phone got issue, the after sales service just isn't there. Recommend just buy from ASUS, if local warranty is your concern, at least ASUS still has very respectable local support.

No money to buy high end phone? A very good advise is, buy the phone from last year flagship, which has price drop near or similar to those offer from budget brand. The old flagship, starting from year 2013, featuring at least Snapdragon 600 processor, are still very good, almost no different in feature compare to those phone offer in year 2015. They are still pretty fast, fast enough for everyday usage without any weird issue.

Stay away from other budget phone, especially those using Mediatek processor, and those from budget brand.
*
Have to agree with some things here, like 2GB RAM is enough for most people, and if the option is available at the same budget, go for Snapdragon. Also buy older flagships. Can't comment on the budget becos I almost always buy 2nd-hand phones, very good value there.

But, there are some budget phones with excellent customer service, like Huawei. Of course, this is from reading user experiences in their individual official threads. Xiaomi should be quite good as well. And Oppo does not invalidate warranty due to flashing, rooting, etc.

and use them personally?

come on bro.
DONT SIMPLY SAY

Stay away from other budget phone, especially those using Mediatek processor, and those from budget brand.

To be fair, I too stay away from Mediatek process. Reading user posts about GPS lock problems, etc, is enough to steer me away (especially Meizu branding). No doubt they are powerful procs at budget price, though, so they are always attractive options to other people.

QUOTE(Helldiver @ Jul 30 2015, 08:42 PM)
So you said S615 and S400 is slow, but older flagships using S600 is okay?  hmm.gif 

And just a friendly suggestion, things aren't as bad as you make them out to be. I used to have thoughts like you, thinking Mediatek is bad; Intel has incompatibility issues, etc. Then I realized, every product out there has almost the same defective rate --there's always a chance of getting a really bad lemon out of the whole perfect batch.

Customer service in Malaysia is always bad. No matter phone, food, or clothes. I had a lot of bad experiences with Asus, along with few other people --respectable is not even close.

And like you said, they are budget brands, they've got to cut corners here and there --but so far I haven't had a single problem with my Mi3 running heavy games in and out. Things like that, etc. 

Not blaming you or wronging you, but do keep your options open a bit --people like certain brands for the brands it self, and also aesthetics. Electronics all die eventually anyway lol
*
I disagree with customer service is always bad. Some are bad, from reading other people's input. Meizu's warranty is as bad as DirectD, which means almost non-existent. Huawei is good (especially with the 1-to-1 replacement for first 6 months, which they honor). Samsung is good (replaced my S4 motherboard when I complained about battery drain even with Knox tripped and custom recovery). Even with AP, there are good and bad AP after-sales service, for example Seven Mobile vs DirectD.

The chances of lemon are also higher with some manufacturers. My colleague's MI3 screen ghosting problem, some Meizu users' units being at the SC longer than being in their hands, etc. Samsung has lemons too but with better service, you could have reliable parts and repair. I had a tough decision between the M1 Note and Honor 4X, both being around the same price, but with the Meizu having better specs and Honor having better service, I went for the Honor.

I'm not saying people should avoid budget brands, but please be an informed and educated consumer. If budget is #1 priority, by all means buy the cheapest best specced phone available. Otherwise, there are other things to consider too.

And that's what this phone subsection of the forum is all about - sharing opinions and hopefully learning from each other on things we may not have thought of.

Note 4 has AMOLED screen, S Pen, 5.7" screen, but maybe only 16GB internal storage for dual sim model, you should check carefully with Directd on this.

LG G4 has IPS LCD screen, 5.5", with 32GB internal storage.
Battery size for both dual sim model is same (3000Mah), Note 4 may have much longer battery life, due to the screen and processor efficiently.

Both equally good, down to your own personal taste.

Well, seeing most people here seems lazy to do some study on the phone available.

Let me help you all out thought, choose phone based on the processor will be the safest bet.

Ignore those battery life claim, due to bigger, higher res screen, and 4G network, all phone battery life sucks.
Be prepare to bring wall plug charger or power bank.

Speaking back to the processor, only choose phone with Qualcomm Snapdragon high end processor, such as S600, S800, S801, S805, S810 and S820.
Even though those S800 series has over heating issue, they offer the best performance in day to day use, and gaming as well.

They are still pretty fast, fast enough for everyday usage without any weird issue.

Lastly, my recommendation as below:
Over RM2000 budget:
Samsung S6, S6 Edge, Note 4, Note Edge, HTC One M9, LG G4, Sony Xperia Z3,Z3+, iPhone 6/6 plus

Around RM2000 to RM1500
LG G3, HTC One M8, Desire Eye, Butterfly 2, Sony Xperia Z2/Z3 Compact, Samsung Galaxy Note 3, S5

Around RM1000 to RM1500
HTC One M7, Sony Xperia Z1, Samsung Galaxy S4, LG G2
For those budget minded and won't mind on the headache on after sale service, here are some phone with high end Snapdragon processor, but with much budget price tag.
Oppo N3, Oppo Find 7/7A, Vivo Xplay 3S, Vivo Xshot, Lenovo Z2 Pro, Oneplus One, Xiaomi Mi4, Mi3, Xiaomi Mi Note/ Note Pro, ASUS Padfone S/S Plus.

For starter, recommend ASUS Padfone S/S Plus, Xiaomi Mi4, which spot Snapdragon 801 processor with less than RM1000. Guarantee those phone is lag free in comparison.

Move up a bit,, over RM1000, but below RM1500 you do get Oneplus One, Vivo Xshot, Oppo Find 7A, Lenovo Z2 Pro, Sony Xperia Z1, Sony Xperia Z Ultra.

On the highest budget end, Samsung Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 3, LG G3, HTC One M8, HTC Desire Eye, should be a pretty good buy. (Around RM1500++ to RM1700)

Stay away from other budget phone, especially those using Mediatek processor, and those from budget brand.

Beg to differ. I have Sony Z3 and your so called budget brand Huawei Mate 7. I experienced SOny aftersales service is very bad. On the other hand Huawei offers 1 to 1 exchg for the flagships(1 year !). Wat abt sony? I have to wait for almost 1 month for warranty claim eventho i used only for abt 2 weeks.
Not to mention Oppo warranty claim is darn fast compare to other manufacturers.
Its funny when you say Htc,LG,Motorola have better aftersales service. Their service centre barely cover the whole Malaysia,bro. If not mistaken only one or two in whole Malaysia. How is the reliability at thr? In fact.just to tell you,HTC offers one fo the worst after sales service in Malaysia. laugh.gif

Joking only.
I admit I am living in the myth, thought expensive brand will have better after sales service.
Thanks for your clarification, at least we now know what brand actually has good service.

I now owning phone/tablet from Samsung and ASUS, and their service actually is quite ok. Not as good as Huawei for 1 to 1 exchange, but all issue at least get settled within a week.

Touch wood for all buyer, we should protect our right to get a problem free device, regardless of brand.

It ok, nothing to worry about, only have discussion like this can make people grown up.
This is what forum is all about, share out something that often what sales person or marketing from brand that seldom share. (As sharing those will keep people away from buying phone/tablet from them)

The after sale service should be an important factor for buying phone from certain brand.
Feel free to share out more useful info.
Sharing is caring.

Bros i am comparing oppo R7 Plus ( Rm1988) vs Samsung A8 ( Rm 1888).
Oppo R7 Plus and Samsung A8 both have fingerprint scanner except A8 can touch to wake.
Oppo has 3gb ram vs samsung 2gb ram
Oppo uses 615 processor vs Exynos 5430 in A8 ( difference in processor speed 1.5 Ghz vs 1.8 ghz and better graphics in A8)

any experience with oppo...dont seem to see any thread in lowyat for oppo...is it good or bad? How about samsung a8?

Looking to get a phone for my father.

I was initially budget myself to less than RM1k, want full HD 5.5" screen, GPS and 4G enable, at least 16GB ROM (if so with SD card expansion), better 32GB ROM (with or without SD card expansion also acceptable), prefer Lollipop out of the box (for future proofing purpose, but not hard requirement), if dual sim preferably the 2nd sim slot not used as SD card slot, prefer model is released in 2015.

I already bought Asus Zenfone 2 4GB RAM 64GB ROM variant for my mother when it released so I wish to not include ASUS Zenfone 2 again.

With this constraint I soon shortlisted Lenovo K3 Note, Meizu M2 Note.

But soon I discovered that Lenovo K3 Note no original set in Malaysia, all AP, kind of hinder me.
Meizu M2 Note does not have FM Radio, I do not know why but seem like a simple function however it just does not have.

So I decided to raise my budget to less than RM1.5k.

The following become my current requirements:

1. Brand:
Exclude ASUS. Prefer reliable brand with reputable after sales service because I am not always available to help my folk to find technician to repair, so if they can send to service center the best.
I want original Malaysia set one. AP set not preferable.

2. Budget: Below RM1.5k

3. Spec:
Full HD 5.5" screen size, 4G and GPS enable,
at least 16GB ROM (if so with SD card expansion), better 32GB ROM (with or without SD card expansion also acceptable)

Prefer recently release model (like less than 1.25yrs)
And now I accept if it is not Lollipop out of the box, but can upgradeable to Lollipop.

4. What you need in the phone
The phone is for old man, so no need hard core computation ability. But I want good camera and reliable (not easily damage till need to send to service).


With these requirements I short listed
Huawei Honor 6 Plus RM1400
OnePlus 2 (64GB) RM1500 (Not yet available in Malaysia)
Samsung Galaxy A7 RM1500
HTC Desire 826 RM1300

Each has its own drawback:
Huawei Honor 6 Plus
- KitKat out of the box, I am not sure is it upgradeable to Lollipop
- SD Card use SIM2 slot, luckily is 32GB ROM so not a deal breaker.

OnePlus 2 (64GB)
- I am not even sure if I can manage to buy one if it is released by MAXIS, given its weird invite system which I am not familiar with. I just want phone, do not want any data plan attached.
- No FM Radio, I wonder does any phone user without FM radio function get annoyed by this? I hope to get a phone with all round features.

Samsung Galaxy A7
- Kitkat out of the box but upgradeable to Lollipop, so not a deal breaker.
- Single SIM, is a weakness compare to the rest in the list but acceptable.

HTC Desire 826
- Cheapest among all, while the rest in list all have 5MP front camera, this one has 4MP.
- Single SIM, is a weakness compare to the rest in the list but acceptable.

And then yesterday I bumped into a phone called Elephone P7000 and P8000, I was like in shock such a high spec with such a low price tag but not sure about its reliability.

So expert out there, can you please provide your opinion to me? If you think I miss out some good choice please enlighten me.

LG G3 (AP Suite your budget, but ori is over your budget)

For Elephone P7000 and P8000, it is almost same spec as Meizu M1 Note and Lenovo K3 Note, so not really recommended, because of higher pricing.

Hi thanks for your feedback.

Oppo Find 7A
A bit old model, released Mar 2014, Jelly Bean out of the box, I think still upgradeable to KitKat.

Samsung Galaxy S5
Prefer 5.5" screen, old man need bigger display.

Huawei Honor 6
Prefer 5.5" screen, old man need bigger display.

Xiaomi Mi4
No 4G, sigh. I put high hope on this initially too.

Xiaomi Mi Note 5.7"
RM1550 (only RM50 extra from my budget), ROM large enough to ignore the need of SD card, no FM radio though. I actually consider this before. But I drop it in an attempt to try to find a 5.5" first before resort to bigger screen. I put this as my backup list first.

Oneplus One (Oneplus 2 not yet launch and won't be getting here any time soon)
Maxis tweeter teases oneplus2 released here sooner than we think though not say how soon. I can only hope tongue.gif
Oneplus One I am not keen, due to single SIM, average camera performance, slightly old model in my opinion (released in June 2014, but only on sale in Malaysia by Maxis at Apr 2015)

LG G3 (AP Suite your budget, but ori is over your budget)
Prefer original. Less hassle for me.

ZTE Nubia Z7 Max (AP only?)
I guess this one is AP only? Did not even heard of any service center in Malaysia.


Thus out of your suggestion, filter left Xiaomi Mi Note (which I will put as backup list).

If you have to choose among the 4 I listed in my previous thread, what will be your choice and why?

You have all the point.
With only 4 listed, only Oneplus 2 will be the best choice, because it using the latest SOC, and it is twice more powerful than what you have listed.

Any Zenfone 2 or 6 competitors? I love these two for big battery capacity, performance, dual sim and updates. Somehow they are kinda too large for me nowadays. I bring along my phone for cycling. sweat.gif

And maybe a good GPS chipset and signal reception? At my place, Maxis is sangat tidak bagut.

I would pick r7 plus simply because
r7 plus camera>A8 (8mp front cam and have laser autofocus,oppo is famed for their camera)
r7 battery capacity>A8
Vooc fast charge>A8 ( imagine 4000mah can charge up to 75% in only 30mins , works with charging thru car charger and powerbank that support vooc as well)
3gb ram> 2gb ram (more ram is always better)
warranty oppo r7> A8 ( r7 plus comes with special warranty which covers water damage and screen cracks)

if wan bring for cycling,better opt for small phones and not phablets. Zen2/6 is under phablet already.
Im also into cycling as well. I have compact phone and phablet too. Always brought my Sony Z3compact with me when im cycling. First of all it is very handy and small. Second,it is waterproof(useful when you are cycling and suddenly it rains).
So,i recommends you to get Sony Xperia Z1 compact. Battery enduramce is one of the best. Easily can last you two days. Updates already got ota 5.1 lollipop. Only no Dual sim. icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks bro. Yeah, the problem is no dual sim. I'm tired of bring two different phone when going out. One good thing about Sony is their phone is well taken care, unlike Samsung based on my experience.

Or maybe I should get a dual sim phone with a good battery life and support? And same price tag? Phablet is nice, but recently I'm very active in sports so 5" kinda troublesome.

Reply on behalf of other sifu, correct me if I'm wrong.

Imported set = AP set. Where warranty is not at Malaysia, and you cannot bring your phone at any local service center. Phone will be send back to China factory for warranty, thus waiting time is much longer.
Thus it is labeled "imported set" where it is imported unofficially from other country (China).
Normally it is cheaper than the Malaysia set or Original set.


Malaysia Set = Original phone that is intended to sell in Malaysia that conform to Malaysia network specification.
You can bring the phone to any local service center for repair, original and genuine part are used and sold.
Because of the good warranty, and genuine original part for Malaysia market, the price is higher than AP set.

Hi guys, looking for an android phone. Doesn't matter what brand. My budget is about RM 1200+. Will be mainly using it for social media and media. Gaming not so much as I've got my iPad for that.

Looking for the best bang for buck, prefer good camera and smooth experience and Lollipop. Help is much appreciated sifus!

I've come again.

Seeking a phone that is below rm500.

Criteria - for hotspot only
Requirement - must have wifi tethering and support 4G. If dual sim 4G is the better.

Brand is not a concern, as long i can get the cheapest i can. Thanks in advance sifu.

Reply on behalf of other sifu, correct me if I'm wrong.

Imported set = AP set. Where warranty is not at Malaysia, and you cannot bring your phone at any local service center. Phone will be send back to China factory for warranty, thus waiting time is much longer.
Thus it is labeled "imported set" where it is imported unofficially from other country (China).
Normally it is cheaper than the Malaysia set or Original set.
Malaysia Set = Original phone that is intended to sell in Malaysia that conform to Malaysia network specification.
You can bring the phone to any local service center for repair, original and genuine part are used and sold.
Because of the good warranty, and genuine original part for Malaysia market, the price is higher than AP set.
*
Fixed. Ap sets NEVER sent back to origin country for warranty. Instead it will be repaired by the selling shops who are selling the phone. Thats y the time taken is longer because they need to source for the spareparts and not SEND BACK to origin country.
And again,wrong info.

Hi, need to recommend my friend between Xiaomi Mi4 and Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 2gb ram. Which one is better? Oh and he didnt mind of no 4g in Mi4. Thanks for helping.
*
If 4G don't mine, then both are equally ok.

Here are the verdict:

Consider Zenfone 2 over Mi4
1. Bigger screen, 5.5" vs 5"
2. Has micro SD slot
3. 32GB storage vs only 16GB storage (more storage memory is always welcome, but Mi4 only come with 16GB with no expandable option)
4. Has NFC (may not be a drastic feature at the moment, but future proof, Mi4 don't has this)
5. Has 4G (I know your friend don't mind, but 4G is the future, and it is proven to be much faster than 3G in overall internet usage)


Consider Mi4 over Zenfone 2
1. Much lighter, thinner and slimmer, easy for 1 hand use, much slimmer screen bezel
2. Better camera quality
3. Around 50% more brighter screen (well, Zenfone 2 screen is not that dim actually, but much dimmer than Mi4)
4. Better build quality (has side metal frame)

Overall, Zenfone 2 win over Mi4 in features, but Mi4 win over Zenfone 2 on better quality on build, outlook, and camera.

Hi guys, looking for an android phone. Doesn't matter what brand. My budget is about RM 1200+. Will be mainly using it for social media and media. Gaming not so much as I've got my iPad for that.

Looking for the best bang for buck, prefer good camera and smooth experience and Lollipop. Help is much appreciated sifus!
*
Oneplus One will be the most bang for buck.

Alternative may be ASUS Zenfone 2 (32GB, 4GB RAM edition)

Around RM1200, best will be Oneplus One, best all rounder at this price range, but only single sim.
Around RM800 to RM900, ASUS Padfone S or ASUS Padfone S Plus may be also considerable, but again, only single sim.

Well, those ASUS Zenfone 2 are around this price range too, may be your best choice among the dual sim phone, but heard only 1 sim can have 4G/3G and sms, another sim just active for calling, need verify by yourself.

Mi4 is around this pricing too, but is very similar to Mi4i, except the different processor, 3GB RAM, and no 4G.

A new midrange phone around this price will be the Samsung Galaxy J7

Sifus, I'm currently looking for a phone as my Honor 3c is getting faulty lately after 1.5years.

1. Brand: Any. As long as problem/hassle free
2. Budget: 500~800 (don't mind stretch a little bit/ 2nd hand)
3. Specs: 2gb ram and external sd card slot. Preferably FHD screen.
4. What you need in the phone: Reliable, decent camera quality and able to run smoothly (not heavy user, just web surfing and play COC.)

Browsed through the web and saw a few to my likings but not sure if I can make the right choice.
1. Honor 4c (LTE is not important to me and current 3c runs okay. Just that camera so-so and only HD screen)
2. Meizu M2 (Bad QC? Saw alot users complaining their problems)
3. Elephone P8000 (very new.. not sure about quality too)
4. Honor 6 (slightly above budget)


Any opinions/ suggestions will be much appreciated. Thank you smile.gif

Don't spend so much on china phones, doesn't worth it. biggrin.gif
Z3 - Just nice
Z3+ - Have some heat issues due to Snapdragon 810. The recent firmware locks the processor to run at 4 x A53 + 1 x A57 to reduce the issue. sweat.gif
M9 - Also same issue due to Snapdragon 810. Camera is worse than Z3 / Z3+. icon_rolleyes.gif

The only way to solve the issue is to reduce the chance to trigger the activation of A57. icon_idea.gif
In fact the phones in market now are all using v2.1.
What we want is the full speed, not downclocked, but it isn't possible for processors with A57.

There is why A72 is coming out to solve this issue.

Turn off your CPU Power Saver Mode. Usually MIUI Power Saver Mode output incorrect antutu benchmarking...

Need recommendation for a tablet with phone functionally.

1. Brand
Doesn't really matter but better if its a brand with a good track record

2. Budget.
Under 2k. Lower is better as long as it meets my requirements

3. Specs.
It is for work so I'd like it to be fast to increase productivity. It's got to be fast and snappy and capable of running multiple apps at the same time. The screen size should be around 7-8 inches.

4. What you need in the phone
Durability and battery life. It's got to run at least Android 5.0, the newer the better. Everything else is secondary.
