Hi,
I need some phone recommendations based on these criteria:

1. Brand: Any (preferably Android)
2. Budget: Around 1.2k
3. Specs: Good battery life, smooth and seamless, good camera (preferably with stabilization), narrow bezel, fingerprint sensor
4. Type/Size: Any

Have been eyeing on the Honor 7x but stumbled upon others like Huawei Nova 2i, Meizu M6 Note, Xiaomi Note 3. Any opinions on these phones?

Also, are there any other recommendations?

Will like to know. Thanks sifu sekalian smile.gif

Well based on your preferences, I guess the best choices for you are

1. OnePlus 3/3T Good battery life, smooth and seamless experience, good camera with OIS(great videos and decent photos) , wide bezels, fingerprint sensor

2. Mi Note 3 Good battery life, smooth and seamless experience, great camera with no OIS(okay videos but great photos), wide bezels, fingerprint sensor

3. Meizu M6 Note Amazing battery life, half smooth with some seams experience, amazing camera with no OIS(okay videos with amazing photos), wide bezels, fingerprint sensor

4. Huawei Nova 2i Okay decent life, half smooth with some Sean's experience, good camera with no OIS(okay videos but good photos), narrow bezels, fingerprint sensor

I wouldn't highly recommend the following for you but you can consider
1. Mi A1
2. Nubia Z17 Mini
3. Honor 7X
4. Oppo F5
5. Meizu Pro 7
6. Elephone U Pro(I have trust issues with this company)

Hey thanks for your input! Really wished for the Oneplus 3/3T but it's out of my budget as of now hahaha.

Might consider the Mi Note 3 but it seems that the official Xiaomi store doesn't sell that unit. I'm actually surprised that you only include Mi A1 in the alternative list. I thought it was quite good, and cheap tongue.gif. Maybe I was wrong hahaha.

Mi A1 is great, I'd even it's my personal favourite because of the software with its price. But your criteria doesn't fit with the Mi A1.

I supposed it's the camera and the battery which isnt on par with the rest?

If I were to get the Xiaomi Mi Note 3, any place or site that you recommend to purchase?

I recommend to get from this seller because has 1 year warranty

p.s. The Mi Note 3 has IP67 water resistance too.

p.p.s This phone has scored 90 marks on dxomark! Higher than Google Pixel(1st gen)

1. Brand: Preferably Realme or Samsung
2. Budget: below 800 (can stretch to 1k)
3. Specs: Lasting battery, good OS/security support & update, can use a few years without lag
4. Type/Size: Any

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a new phone for both my parents, replacing their 4-5 years phones which are starting to get laggy. I'm not so well to do so budget is a bit on the lower side. Their usage of the phones are mainly for calling, whatsapp, fb, youtube and some light games.

I'm looking at a few models, not sure what you all think of them or if there are any other suggestions?
- Samsung A14
- Samsung A24 (heard got 5 years security update)
- Samsung A05s
- Realme 11 5G

Thank you!
