1. Brand - Any

2. Budget - About 2k+.

3. Specs - Large screen 5" and above.

4. What you need in the phone -
GPS and Waze
Social media and messaging (Facebook, Linkedin, WhatsApp)
Web browsing
Some emailing (Gmail, Microsoft OWA)
Not much work, but can open documents without lagging too much
Decent camera (not a photography buff)

Currently have a 3 year old Samsung Note II. It's lagging and hanging. Using a custom ROM on it.

Thinking of the Note 5, but I could only stand the original Note II software for less than a year before I had to root it and install a more streamlined ROM. 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. biggrin.gif

LG V10, S7 Edge, LG G5, Mate 8 should be fine

Hi sifus, pls help me. Thanks in advance.

1. Brand : Any
2. Budget. Less than RM1100
3. Specs. At least 2GB ram, 5.5 inch and above but must not above 6 inch,
4. What you need in the phone. Web browsing, FB, Whatsapp. No heavy games. Just a quite okay camera will do. Actually my preference is the screen size. My wish is bigger than 5.5" but not many choices with my budget set. Or do I miss something here?

Currently using Lenovo Vibe Z but just Kong today. Eyeing RN3 5.5", Huawei Honor 5X 5.5", Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL 6".

Thanks again to all of u.

How about Zenfone 2 ?

Vote for Honor 5X and RN3.

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....... cry.gif

No experience in using dual sim phone, can't help on this. laugh.gif

I mean Zenfone 2 the 4GB ram model, not Laser model.

Best android phone?

Samsung s series vs samsung note vs huawei nexus 6p vs huawei p9

Dual sim would be good
*
Depends on what you need. There is no best Android Phone, only most suitable Android phone for you.

Vote for 6P for natural Android experience, and vote for S7 for more ram and storage expandable. Personally having worse experience for non expandable storage (Nexus 5), now phone didn't die yet, feel no worth to change new phone laugh.gif

Roms? Apa tu? Hehe!

S7 seem to be the best phone so far for android. Unless the next huawei nexus phone comes out

Any brand of Nexus phone is nice. Not only Huawei.

But my next phone must have expandable storage feature laugh.gif No matter comes with how many GBs onboard storage.

Good, that's quite cheap.
But I'm now more interested in Xiaomi Mi Max with 6.44 inch screen.
I prefer bigger screen phone, mainly for gaming purpose.

Sadly Z Ultra don't have newer gen. laugh.gif

But for me, I rather use tablet instead of bigger phone for gaming.
