dont la say i never reasearch like that.. i am targeting a midrange phone for moderate usage that can last for a couple of years.. i am the kind of person who use my phone smpi puas one.. why i say like that because currently i am still using samsung galaxy s2 which i brought during stone age, only sent repair once bcuz screen cracked,still working but d lag all is currently bothering me so much that i need to change to a new phone.. open whatsapp also got waiting period..
i did my research on oneplus x, samsung j7, honor 7, motorola g as i am targeting a midrange phone:
oneplus x: ~rm1300, great design, but heard d spec are not as good as the spec
samsung j7: ~rm999, most balance for me, my family all use samsung n hav good experience with it even after multiple episode of drop but design is plastic, but can get diff phone brand with better spec around same price
honor 7: ~rm1399, the best spec for its price, dnt hav experience with china phone, hav a bit of doubt for china phone bcuz my father n brother bought new xiaomi drop it & screen cracked, summore i read malaysian user review in honor 7 offical page & some other page doesnt giv me a good impression, maybe d one who satisfied with d phone dnt bother to giv review
motorola g (3rd gen): the 2nd generation was d best midrange phone for last year
what i need in my hpone is basically microsd slot, removable battery & good spec that could run for a few years
btw, how important is NFC in our country setting
dont la say i dnt do research cuz im expecting views from yu guys through experience
I didnt read too much into J7 but with your budget i will say look into Samsung Galaxy A8. I was considering it against Honor 7.
5.7 inch
Very thin and light
Internal 32 gb with 2nd sim slot that can also host a memory card
Run in house E5xxx chip (i have the same chip on my Galaxy Alpha)
3000 battery with good batt life
I saw some cheap set in garage sales around 1350 and even on lazada they are going for 1500 (use shopback to get extra 6%)
I remember back then Gsmarena had a review of the best compact phone, it was iphone 6, Galaxy Alpha and Sony Z3 Compact. I choose Alpha purely down to price factor as it was 50% of iphone 6 16gb.
Newer gen of samsung has lighter version of touchwiz and prior to my Alpha i come from S2 and Nexus 5. Of course i do miss the pure android experience but i can live with the new touchwiz.
