Hey guys, need some recommendation for an android phone as I dropped my Mi3 and cracked the screen.
Enjoyed using it a lot and heartbroken it just had to go like that, the Mi3 worked like a charm. Even after a year still not buggy.

1. Brand.
-Any brand except for Samsung, HTC & Asus

2. Budget.
Below 1k

3. Specs.
Prefer 2GB/3GB Ram above
Camera MP of 12/13 above
Screen size of roughly 5'' or above

4. What you need in the phone
Durable enough (can last up to 2 years plus), do not play games on it but I do a lot of image processing (VSCO, PIXLR, Photoshop). Camera quality wise would prefer a good one as I do happen to take a lot of photos. Mi3 worked perfectly so would expect something with that quality. No buggy OS please as it all results in lag and stupid stuffs in it. 

In short, something value for money. ( like the mi3 lol)
Have been taking a look at the Meizu MX4 & M2 Note, don't really like the Mi4i as the build quality feels somehow cheap

Thanks. 

But yeah, I read about some bloatware in it, along with the battery life issue until need to use some sort of 3rd party program, so I heard.

If that's the case, what about China-made phone? I'm not familiar with their brand until now.

I am in dilemma. Please enlighten me of which phone should I go for. Thanks.

Asus Zenfone 2 Laser
Lenovo Vibe Shot
Sony Xperia C5
Honor 7
Xiaomi Mi4C

Price is not a major considering issue here. Currently using Mi3. Want to have a maximum upgrade so that the next phone can tahan at least 2 years.

Hi,

My wife's sony xperia z1 mobo went kaput after using the cheap version magnetic charging cable (my fault actually). So, right now I'm trying hard to find an hp that delivers the same performance within mid-range category.

Brand: Prefer well known china brand. No samsung and iphone.
Price: RM500-RM800
Spec: 16gb ROM 2gb RAM. 5" full HD. 3000+ mAH battery. 13mp camera.
I want: Must have stunning display and camera like the Z1. Prefer 5 inch full HD. But if it can squeeze in bigger screen in a body the same size as the Z1 then I'm ok. My wife's hand is quite small and she dont like big phone but want big screen. Battery must last at least 12 hours. No lag. If possible, need to have SD card slot and removable battery. If cannot, can consider.
Usage: web browsing, youtube streaming, social networking, upload and taking photos, messaging, light gaming.

Thank you in advance
