Alcatel Flash 2 (RM 540 at Lazada). It's 5 inches screen should be okay.
Asus Zenfone Go (5" variant) (RM 459 at Lazada)

Hi folks. Please bear with me on this yeah. Thanks in advance for your help and patience

1. Brand: Any
2. Budget: Around RM1000 for the total of both phones
3. Specs: Sideways upgrade to my previous Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III and Nokia Lumia 520. Here are a few phones I already have in mind:-
i) Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III -> Samsung Galaxy J2
ii) Nokia Lumia 520 -> Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace
4. Type/Size: Around 5-inch or less

Been looking at everyone's suggestion and narrowed my picks down to

Xiaomi redmi 2 enhanced
Lenovo A6000 plus
Alcatel flash 2 (the price is slightly higher but don't mind topping up)

What would you all pick among these 3? I'm totally noob to rooting or flashing rom or anything like that. Prefer a user-friendly phone.

Alcatel Flash 2.

It's running on stock Android with just few Alcatel apps, it's easier to use compared to the other two.

For the first phone, I would recommend Alcatel Flash 2 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (It's imported though, so don't confuse it with the local one.) As for the other one, the closest one would be the Lenovo A2010. Also recommended would be Leagoo Alfa 6 and Asus Zenfone GO (4.5" variant), if you don't mind not having LTE.

I would go with Xiaomi Redmi 2 Enhanced because it does offer some good updates. Alcatel Flash 2 is decent. Lenovo A6000+ would be last on my list.

Specs: good performance with good camera

Im considering huawei mate 8, nexus 6p and samsung galaxy s7

May i know which phone would all the sifu recommend?

Is there any other phone other than these 3 would all the sifu recommend?

hi guys... need recommendation

1. Brand: any
2. Budget: Below rm1000
3. Specs: power camera and big battery life
4. Type/Size: the bigger the better

in my mind now is redmi note 3 & honor 5x. which one better? or other phone.

Redmi note 3, it has larger capacity battery and more ram for processing photos.

Nexus 6p, the camera is better is low light, you will get Android updates faster, and it does not have bloatware that will slow down the performance of the phone.

Samsung Galaxy S7 is the best out of the three. Choose Huawei Nexus 6P if you want a complete vanilla Android. Huawei Mate 8 is the last on my list.

Red mi note 3

Tq so much bro. But i thought nexus 6p doesnt have ois? Still wouldn't affect its camera performance ah?

It doesn’t have optical image stabilization but it does have laser auto-focus and an improved sensor for better low light shooting. The images will be sharper, but the color will be off.

Please recommend which one between Alcatel Flash 2 and ZTE V7 Lite or other alternatives ?
Budget ~RM500

Alcatel Flash 2 or Redmi 2.
