Not sure if newer Samsung phones are better now. Basically, I'm looking for something that can last about 3 years so I don't have to keep reinstalling stuff like on the Note II that I'm having. I just want it to work, since my office work already requires me to install and customise new systems all the time. |

QUOTE(Andrew_1980 @ May 3 2016, 09:53 AM) Thanks to your recommendation. NR 3 is very tempting but need to wait. Honor 5X also not bad. Zenfone 2 Laser 6" ZE601KL also not bad but less info to get. I heard its dual sim can hold 4G n no need to switch sim b'cause both can up at least 3G one at a time. Maybe I am wrong? Still very confusing....... |
