Hi

Want to ask is it worth to buy Xperia X (3GB RAM/64GB storage)
Original price RM2499, now rebate RM300 plus my Treatpoint value of RM400, so final price RM1799 (will buy at Sony Centre as they accept Treatpoint)

any other options at similar price (rm1.8k and below)

requirement: good camera, good battery life, size not more than 6inch >32GB storage, good GPS

or should i spend my treatpoint in senq/senheng and buy other phone?

Sony Xperia X is straight away out of the list, it's not worth it. Hence, the battery life isn't that good either.

Between the Huawei P9 and Mate 8, I would recommend the P9. The battery life is good enough, the camera is good, no problem with GPS.

Unless you're a heavy user that needs very long endurance, Mate 8 is the one to go. Just that the camera won't be as good as the P9.

Thanks for the input

between Huawei G8 (32GB- rm1399) and Honor 7 Enhanced (32GB- rm1499)
same requirement as above. which one better?

Huawei G8 is more superior in terms of camera and battery life, and GPS is still fine.

So yeah, G8 is better.

Thanks a lot. Will decide between P9/Mate8 or G8 depending how deep my pocket can go 😅

Any suggestion for a cheapest smartphone with 16gb memory? Not too advanced. For my 60+ yrs old father to use. Mainly call, sms, whatsapp, quran reading, reading online paper etc. Font need to be adjusted to big size.
Looking at <rm600.
Seen lenovo a2020. Is it good? Any other options?

hi sifus

What is the best flagship smartphone for year 2017 which can last at least 2-3 yrs of usage (high reliability)?
Budget around rm3k
Must have good camera and full 1 day (24hours) of battery life.
Want to have smaller body size than Mate8.
Storage >64GB

options at the moment: P10, P10+, S8
thinking of iphone7 but the not enough budget

currently using Huawei Mate 8.

tq

note: senq/senheng offer trade-in value of rm750 for my Mate8. offer till 31/8.
the future phone must be superior than mate8. if not, i'll still continue with mate8

how about non-apple options?
ip7+ 128gb is beyond my budget (rm4299)
(32GB storage is not enough)

note: original post editted to omit ip7 sad.gif

Best one I could find
EL K6900
http://s.aliexpress.com/m2Ur2EjU

IP68 Dust and Water Resistant
MIL-STD-810G military standard durability
Drop and shock resistant
Also has flashlight

p.s. Does your son's school allow tablets or laptops? Because I would highly suggest a recon(military standard) laptop for students.
*
EL K6900 cannot bcoz it has a camera. furthermore need to wait up to 30 days for delivery.
No tablet/laptop allowed at the moment. Tq for the suggestion. Might buy for myself as 2nd phone.. hehe

after searching... found Nokia 105, Nokia 1280 and Samsung E1200Y Keystone 2. Not sure which one is better. Probably buy either one tonight. Tomorrow register for new school.
