Hello sifus, need recommendation smile.gif

1. Brand: Any
2. Budget: Around RM2k(can top up also if its worth it)
3. Specs: Heavy gaming so 4G LTE preferable. Good battery life. Use for a lot of reading also.
4. Type/Size: Around 5" plus minus

Thank you so much!

If you're fine with 6 inch screen, I would highly recommend...
Huawei Mate 8 [32GB/3GB RAM] - (RM 2099) [64GB/4GB RAM] - (RM 2399)

If not, then...
Sony Xperia Z5 - (RM 2399)
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 - (RM 2399)
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium - (RM 2599)
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - (RM 2999)

*Price of Huawei Mate 8 is official price from Huawei Malaysia.

*Price of Sony Xperia Z5, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Sony Xperia Z5 Premium and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge are from Satugadget, price may vary from official price.

Thank you so much! I take it that I wont be losing much in terms of performance if I get the Mate 8? Just losing on the side of gimmicks right?

In terms of performance, Mate 8 is a beast, it can even beat the Note 5 and Z5 and it's just few miles behind the S7 Edge. Just one thing though, in terms of gaming, it would be slightly weaker because of the GPU in the Mate 8, but it won't really affect much.

Thanks so much. 1 final question. I'm really tempted to get the s7 edge. In your opinion, do you think the price is justified? As in is it worth it to spend sub 3k for it?

For me, I wouldn't spend so much on a smartphone lol, but that's just me. But still, the price is understandable, mainly because of the technology being used on the S7 Edge (the curved screen obviously). Overall, the S7 Edge is a good flagship phone.

If you're all in for the curved screen, go for it. Otherwise, go for the normal S7 (RM 2699) instead, if you want a Samsung.

Yeah, realy tempted because it looks so friekin beautiful. And it is so smooth, but flagships usually are smooth laugh.gif Too bad the VR is kinda expensive tho. Maybe just go with google cardboard tongue.gif
