Got other alternatives?

Got but Nexus 6P was:
1. a little over your budget
2. a little bigger screen size of your request
3. a little out dated (SD820 v2.1 vs SD821/SD820)

1. Brand. Any brand
2. Budget. (Below rm400)
3. Specs. (Good battery life,no lagging, want to use for Whatsapp & Waze)
4. What you need in the phone (screen not so small)

I think simply any budget smartphone will do the jobs specially you tight on budget. Redmi 3S 32GB+3GB if you want lag free experience on MIUI.

Beside battery life and fingerprint
Is the phone better overall than s7 edge?
*
depend your usage... both also got certain part with some compromise. For example the speaker on P9 Plus are louder and clearer than S7edge but S7edge is water resistance. P9 plus got some 3D touch implementation on the EMUI while S7edge have some edge function on its TouchWiz. Try go play with both see which one you like more.

If Lenovo vibe x3 a good phone?    Any reasons why I shouldn't buy this?  Don't seem to be very popular in Malaysia?    Thanks

Well.. probably lack of CustomROM and Lenovo Marketing in Malaysia here.

Take a look at the 2 years old Lenovo K3 Note (aka A7000+), still kicking and popular. Because widely CustomROM.

Hi all,

Need a recommendation here. I am currently using a Note 2 and planned to change to Note 7 this year; but when I was about to purchase it, the news of the unfortunate accidents with the phone came out (in a way, I was lucky to avoid the hassle) but it spoiled my plans.

1) Brand: No preference, though I might be a bit biased to Samsung, HTC, Huawei or Google
2) Budget: RM 2500 up to RM 3500 max
3) Specs: Good battery life, screen ~ 5' or above, no lagging when using multiple apps, nice camera
4) Usage: Mostly to go online (WhatsApp, Facebook, Maps/Waze), some note takings, some pic taking, rarely play games though

Currently I am considering these phones:
- Google Pixel / Pixel XL (a bit pricey though)
- Huawei Nexus 6P
- Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge
- Samsung Galaxy Note 5

I am attracted to Pixel but it's a bit on the pricey side for a not so premium phone. I have been a Note user for so long, but Note 5 is a bit outdated and might not get updates to the latest Android. Or should I wait for Note 8 - but the release date will be around Q3 next year, right? That's still far away.

Please give me some recommendations. Thank you very much!

S7edge (128GB) Pearl Black are coming soon.
S8 rumors incoming next Feb/Mar 2017. Note 8 ETA ???

Huawei P9 Plus or
Huawei Mate 9 Pro (5.5inch)

Hi everyone, I used a combo of Nokia 1280, iPod Touch 6G and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but now my iPod died, so my parents decided to buy me a phone for the long term. I consider myself a power user (I can root, change ROM, use ADB, do simple repairs, etc). Here's my info:

Brand: Any, as long as it is reputable
Budget: RM1500
Specs: RAM >2GB, Excellent camera and processor (Either quad or octa core), screen =>5", good battery life
Usage: Social media, photo/videography, music, probably gaming

My friend recommended the Asus Zenfone 3 to me. What do you sifus think? I'll be buying in the next month probably

Thanks!

OnePlus 3 (non turbo) 64GB is your best bet. But too bad is not 5 inch.

QUOTE(Nursh @ Dec 23 2016, 11:24 AM)
Current phone Oneplus X, currently thinking of upgradingg to phone with similar price range which is around rm1k.
Is Nexus 5X still a viable option now? Minimum requirements: 32gb, better than Opx camera, FHD display, Fingerprint. I'll not be playing games with the phone.
*
It is still very good phone for OnePlus X. But Nexus 5X is not really a huge upgrade for OnePlus X. Somemore. Probably gonna wait for Motorola or OnePlus mid year new phone announcement.

Hi All,

I would like to ask regarding the 4G and 4G plus compatible phone.

1)How to check whether it is 4G plus compatible?Is it just simply check spec on LTE (4G) and LTE-A is 4G plus?
2)Does 4G plus really have significant difference in speed compare to 4G?

Thanks
*
4g plus are good for VoLTE.
Check the spec and Telco.

guys, what do you think about the avvio l660s.
i think it's a brightstar in house brand.
it's RM258 now, original price was RM479.
looks like stock android but i doubt it will get any updates.
it's a mediatek, some mentioned it's 64bit, so it should be A53 design.
doesn't mention which model, so no idea which mali gpu it comes with but it should be around 20-40Gflops range.

thinking about getting it for my mum.

Lenovo X3 (SD808+3GB)

Budget. RM 1000+/-

Yes. Huawei are "taikor" of making telecommunication/networking equipment after talking over the Ericsson.

YES 4G LTE Compatible List: https://www.yes.my/supported-devices

So probably best bang for bucks is Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, if Huawei, look for Huawei Honor 5X.

Here is some filtered list of Band 38 + 40: http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYear...idTouchscreen=1

1. Will 32GB of Mi5 enough for your usage? It was non-expandable by MicroSDCard. OnePlus One was 64GB.

2. Buy from Huawei MY is better than AP sets of Huawei, because Huawei MY offer glass break warranty. AP don't.
