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

QUOTE(sgr77 @ May 21 2015, 12:36 AM)
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?
*
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.

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
*
Honor 4X, Redmi Note 4G

top up a bit for mi4i at RM749.

I'd prefer mi3 because of the processing power though, plus not really into the plasticy design  blush.gif

anyway, are those phones on taobao really a safe option?
*
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

Hey guys. Need some ecommendation so here goes :

1. Brand: Samsung.  Tbh I'm open to suggestions.
2. Budget. Rm2k-3.2k max
3. Specs. Godly camera/sensor, 3gb+ ram, LTE, 5 inch+ screen size, expandable SD slot is a plus
4. What you need in the phone. Good for multitasking, top notch camera + video. Long lasting battery.

Currently I'm looking at s6, s6 edge,  note 4 and note edge. Idk which to get as idk what's the difference between all those except for the, well edge screens? Also I'm open to suggestions/recommendations hopefully someone can clear up my options smile.gif
*
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

How about honor 6 plus?
*
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

OnePlus One, Mi4, LG G3, Honor 6 Plus.

Personally I'll go for LG G3. Camera with OIS, thin bezel, qHD display.

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

Thanks!

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?
*
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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Can add Honor 6 Plus to ur list. 3600mah battery. nod.gif
