hi guys

need few recommendation from all of u for below:

1. Brand - Any but not China model (such as Huawei, Xiaomi, or etc.) because reason #4
2. Budget - around RM500-RM600
3. Specs - Any. 4G or LTE is not required. wasting battery life.
4. What you need in the phone - Good Camera, Reasonable Battery Life, Sturdy Design (not so fragile)

Currently putting an eye for Xperia C3, Zenfone 5 or Zenfone 2. but any other alternative?

Samsung S6 Edge else u can grab LG G4 from Direct D , which cost you same price as S6 Edge RRP, 3099 IMO

and i think u just go youtube to find MKBHD's LG G4 Review for your req.
Zen2-power hunger, fast GPU and I/O mark not bad.. smile.gif

and Zen 5 4G best fits.. but why wonder that not going for RedMi note 4G? laugh.gif even i tested my sis RM Note 4G kicks with my Maxis number works well laugh.gif

I see. Then i think Zenfone 5 is the best option at the moment, provided that i dont need the 4G version.

it seems that there are very limited option by slashing out those China phone.
I am currently using Huawei Honor 4X but i had few problem last time when using China phone.
Its not so big problem or any major defect for me, but considering this phone is for my parent, i think i need to give them some "trouble-less" phone.

Last history for China phone is below:
1) Huawei Honor 3C - used for few months and screen not responsive. Exchange with new one within a week.
2) Redmi Note - Keyboard/Screen not responsive and occasionally restart.
3) Huawei Honor 3C Lite - damn lag tongue.gif
4) Huawei Honor 4X - sometimes touch sensor slightly delay

but as i mentioned, this is small issue that happen sometimes and i can bear with it.
But i dont think my parent will know how to reset a phone when there is an issue come out biggrin.gif

Very hard to go for non-China phones only, I would go with either Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE500CL), Huawei Honor 3X G750 or Lenovo A936/Golden Warrior Note 8

We dont have a lot of good options maa with that small budget..
Of course u gonna face poor battery life but u get what u paid for..

Other phones also got pros n cons, therefore it is up to buyer to choose which spec to sacrifice and which spec is more important..

Anyway, if i choose to buy zf2, i ll rather add another 100 to jump for zenfone 2 z550ml model..
Z550cl spec is too mehh..

thanks for the recommendation smile.gif
anyway, Zenfone 2 is one of my eye list.
But looking at the spec, probably i would chose model ZE550ML due to less screen pixel density and higher battery capacity, so that it can compensate with the battery lifetime.
the 500CL battery is too small and other model 551ML have higher pixel density that can eat the battery more.

but need to pump out more cash cry.gif
