To request recommendation, what u need to post:

1. Brand. (HTC/Samsung/LG/Motorola/Others)
No limitation.

2. Budget. (1.5k-2k)
Below 1.2k

3. Specs. (Ram/Proc/Camera's MP/Screen size)
Good camera, at least 2GB of RAM, 1080p display, descent battery life, no major issue

4. What you need in the phone (Good camera/good sound quality/durable)
I hope to get a phone with lesser bloatware. Asus Zenfone 2 seems to have tons of bloatware. XiaoMi seems to looks like an iPhone. I hope to get a Stock Andriod experience. But I hope not to get an old phone. Better if it is released this year.

Btw, is Moto X Play released in Malaysia?

How much is OnePlusOne right now? I thought this phone is quite old eh?

Comparing find7 with oneplus one? which one wins?

any issue regarding the find 7?

Xiaomi? Psst. Forget about it. A iPhone clone eh?

I personally like a near stock Andriod experience. I personally prefer Oxygen OS or CM> ColourOS. I will try to change ROM or intsall some skins if I go for Find7.

Still, the stunning 2K display, fast charging and beautiful pulse notification will be some compromises if i go for 1+1.

in my opinion, if you are comparing between E7 and find 7, find 7 is a clear winner. E7 only have 720p HD display and Find 7 has 1440p QHD display. The RAM loses too. E7 is 2GB and Find7 is 3GB. CPU for e7 is snapdragon 410 and Find7 is snapdragon 801. 410 is for mid range budget phone and 800+ are mostly for high end tier phones.

despite the age, Find 7 is still a very strong phone. you may put one plus one into consideration. both oneplus one and find 7 has a very very good camera for its price point. i wonder where u heard the oneplus' camera problem from.

currently if you wanna buy a high spec phone with budget around 1k, only 2014 phones will do the job. unless you go for xiaomi or meizu all those. but since u dont even want lenovo, forget those eh?

or maybe asus zenfone2. you can go for 4gb version for 1.2k and cheaper if u go for 2gb version. that is if you accept all those asus' bloatware, just ok descent camera and super super mainstream in Malaysia.

This actually really depends on what you wish for on your phone though. Asus zenphone 4gb provide a lightning fast phone but with the compromises of bloatware and a 100 more than 1k. The plus side is it is relatively new and there is a 2gb version selling for 900. Of course the spec is slightly poorer than the the find 7 for 998 and its 4gb version.

If you look for a near stock andriod phone, Moto g 2015 can be a good choice although it might be released soon in Malaysia. The price should be around 900. Still, the compromises are just 720p display, just ok camera. Things that you would expect from a normal budget smartphone.

The only real deal for now, in your case, I think would just be Oppo Find 7. Still the compromises is that, in my opinion, ColourOS might not be as good as Motorola os or OnePlus Os or even ZenUI. It is just the matter of self preference. And also, think about why they drop the price so much? 1.9k to 1k. There must be something eh? Haha

Other 2014 with similar spec still sells around 1.5k. Moto X 2014 as an example. Even Nexus 5 2013 still maintain at 1.4k.You can consider XiaoMi Mi4i or Redmi Note 2 if you don't mind Mi phones la. Haha. They aren't too bad overall.

What is the matter with find 7's screen?

Does update the opo to cm12 requires rooting? And for find 7, did anyone flash the rom to cm12? Any issue regarding that?

Btw, does rooting void the warranty?

Still, updating to cm12 is not as easy as we download normal updates via phones eh? No auto notification and so on?
