Hello guys ,
It's been few days that I almost read everything about all the phones in my budget bracket .
Now I'm Struggling to choose between these two :
1.Redmi Note 2
2. A7000+
Resolution , Camera and the looks are the most important things for me.
At first I wanted to go for K3 Note for the cool looking Yellow Set , But I'm not really into rooting and manually upgrading .
Redmi Note 2 seems slightly better , but I have to manually upgrade . Do you think A7000+ is the best option now ?
Where is the best place to buy it for a reliable guarantee and cheapest price ?
Tnx in advance

Tnx alot for your response guys .
I guess RedMi N2 is by far the best option for me . it really does worth it , but I'm just alil bit concern about the upgrading the android ( I read some where that it's in Chinese and I have to install another ROM so I can have Google Store ).is it something that I should be worried about ?

I did so many researches on the phone that I want to buy . I read and watched So many reviews , here is my results .I really appreciate can help me to make a better decision now .
1.RedMi N2 : It's really good , the only problem is the MIUI that even with the latest version 7 upgrade is still really RAM and battery hungry and its based on CN ROM. so if u are dont know Chinese you basically have to do so many manual update and rooting that make the phone wont be at 100% of it performance and it will get really buggy ( random shutdowns , ... )
2.Alcatel Flash 2 : amazing camera , good battery life but the performance is not at the best but since it got flat android it works pretty fine.still pretty solid for the price . and it looks good .
3.A7000+ : the best sound experience u can imagine at this braccet with the dolby atmo still as good as RedMi N2 in performance ( maybe alil bit lacking in High-end Game experience ) but the Lenovo customer servis is the worst . U shouldnt think about the warranty at all ( I guess all of these phones got this problem anyway ) .pretty good screen ,good camera in daylight , not good in dark places ,not a really good looking phone .
I looked up Huawei 4x , Lenovo p70 aswell but the performance is not close to these phones for p70 , and the camera and Resolution on huawei one is not good at all .
Any idea guys ?

they are so many Unwanted Applications that u have to remove , but not possible if the phone is on the default ROM. so u have to root it , change the ROM , then install another one . but this makes some phones pretty unstable .

I guess i know what he meant. it is very much depend on the phone u received, some lot of unwanted apps, some little. Also depend on the owner whether they do mind or not.

Exactly .
but I searched so many forums for RedMi N2 , MIUI 7 coming today , solved so many problems so far . ( gonna be released for Mi N2 Soon ) . they are some good international packs for this phone that is totally suits it and no more chinese app / adware / boutware .

Basically requirements:

1. Brand: any
2. Budget: low
3. Specs. 2GB RAM, Android 5.0 and/or above
4. What i need in the phone: GOOD CAMERA, GLONASS GPS, VIDEO RECORDING CAN PAUSE AND CONTINUE so that can save in a single video file.

Perhaps some candidates like:

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2
Xiaomi Mi 4i
Lenovo K3 Note
Meizu Metal
Meizu m2 note

Wait few days for Meizu Metal and check some reviews on that .
K3 note ( A7000+ is actually same with slightly better performance ) is good ,got good multi tasking ,lacks on camera compare to RedMi N2 .but got amazing sound ( Doulby ) .
RedMi N2 is good and stable for recording videos , better at opening apps than K3 ,and better performance .
Alcatel Flash 2 is a good and solid option aswell and cheaper than these 2 and better looking . didnt find so many reviews on that .So im not sure about the camera performance .
I personally dont like Mi4i , I read so many negative reviews on that .
I'm not sure if they have default resumable recording on these phones or not ,but there is a guide here for an APP that do that for you :

Based on luck I guess. I think that their warranty is limited to 3 months for hardware, 2 years for software only. Better check their warranty policy 1st.

Hey guys.. Looking for a phone that costs around 600..
It will be used for gaming and casual use..
The ones that are on my list are lenovo a7000+, p70 and redmi note 2.
From researching I found out roughly that the gpu on both lenovo models (Mali t760mp2) is better than the powervr g6200 on the redmi note 2..
Any comment from those who have used both? I've used redmi note 2 and the gaming and battery life are really not that great..
*
here is my research on those phones :
P70 Spec is quite nice ,but U its not a good idea to go for a not-popular Lenovo phones . lack of ROMs and some other minor details( check the opions on gsmarena on that phone . like serious heating problems overloaded RAM that makes the games and apps really slow and crash .then you have to change the ROM to new one ,but no one bothers to make a good one from officials . but they are some pretty decent ROMs for k3note .
K3Note is better option than A7000+ becuz as I know there are minor tech difference , so U can not install all K3Note ROMs on A7000+ ( Or u have to make some changes ) . the game handling is good on k3note but after few mins u are going to experience some fps drop ( as I saw in the reviews )
I guess the Redmi note 2 is still the best option . becuz there are so many good ROMs available .they are updating it every now and then . but yes ,battery life is average on Redmi note 2 . but its still same thing on K3note .they got minor heating issues aswell ,but since they are updating the ROM for redmi note 2 we can expect that it can be solved .( since they solved it on some developer packs )
