Your N4 already broken down.. I don't think you can wait any longer... iPhone 6 battery life are not any better than Nexus 5. Unless is the iPhone 6 Plus model... Nexus 6 and above battery life already very good to archieve 5-6 hours SOT with mixed usage.. So Nexus 6P could do even better with Android M Doze Mode... Xperia Z5 are advertised with 2 days battery life, so no worry.. LG G4 got swapable battery...

Iphone 6 batt life not better than Nexus 5? Seriously?

If batt life is top of my priority i will buy an iphone, anytime.

Hello sifus.

1. Brand : Any (ap set welcome)
2. Budget : Rm1500 below
3. Specs : Any
4. What you need in the phone : good camera for outdoors, good battery for whole day use, good durability, good aftersales service & dual SIM ( SIM1 4G + SIM2 4G/3G )
*
To warrant a good battery life almost certain has to have 3k batt else sure fail.

Can only think of Samsung Galaxy A8 for your requirement.

Rm1589 on Lazada or search around in garage sales saw some going as low as 1350.

Budget mid range Redmi Note 2. tongue.gif
RM1k range can't think of any.. the LG G3 meet your need but doesn't have good battery life..
Pick Phablet or One-hand using.
Phablet: G8
One-Hand: H7 or Mi4C

Pick fancy fingerprint scanner: G8 or H7

Read user complaint of G8 & H7

Thnx for the reply. Just finish testing the A8 from Samsung store. Overall I give the A8 6/10 rating.

Just when I decided to go for A8, I stumble upon  1 shop that having year end sales. They offer Honor 7 & Honor 6+ for Rm1399 + free stuff like tempered glass. They also selling OPO rm900  & OPX for rm1200 + free stuff.

So before I decide, which phone out of the 4 listed above is better compare to A8? Can I use both SIM 2 with sd card? For Honor 7.
*
I believe Honor 7 and A8 is the same, that 2nd sim tray act as a hybrid for sim & memory card. So you may only choose either one at a given time. Which make A8 shine because it is 32gb vs Honor 16gb, if 2nd sim is important for you.

Both run in-house chip, come with Android 5 and with planned upgrade to Marshmallow

The Honor 7 goes for 1399 on Lazada, with codes and what not i believe you can secure it around 12xx

Promo is RM100 off & free case

Ultimately it depends on which you prefer in your hand; screen size may be a factor too.

thinking to get it too.. but the battery life is really troublesome for many reviewer
2k battery with that cpu is kinda  shakehead.gif

is it that bad?

i use one as co line as it come with the tablet thingy, can last me a day easily with constant call, whatsapp and email (sales)

For example now it's running for 14+ hours with 2 hours SOT, left 42% battery.

Very seldom it is been run down to 0% in the day itself.

One thing i really hate on this phone is the speaker, i sometimes need to use it while im driving to answer calls and it is a pain in the ass. the quality suck so much that i had to stop and use my ears doh.gif

Do I get both the tab and the phone? Sounds like a very sweet deal there.

The tab come as an add on, not bundle with phone.

You have to try with websites like Lazada & Gemfive, with certain promo you may get it around 2.2k - 2.3k mark.

Saw this over in a thread, may be useful for you. Seems like Note 5 camera is better capturing more details especially if you zoom in.

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.

Was previously aiming Note 5 because of the dual sim, now i stumble upon Mate S in Singapore with 64gb version cheaper than Note 5 in Msia.

Worth the gamble?
