Hi

I lost my phone Huawei Nova 5T last Saturday during hiking at Sungai Kanching.

I surrender to retrive the phone. However if anyone might found it please contact me.

Now looking for new phone. My priority is smooth during gaming, and storage above 100gb. My budget RM 1.8k and below. Buying location within Lembah Klang. Don't want online unless cod.

very appreciative for your advise.

thank you.

You might wanna try posting this on Facebook and other platforms as well.. Spread out your search, I'm sure there are kind people around..

As for phone within your budget, if you can increase a little over 2k I would recommend an iPhone 11... phone is smooth with good battery, can handle high res games too, but might only get 64g at that price range..

I would recommend this for you:

Fits right into your budget, you can get it for slightly over 1K.

Kimovil website can sort by Performance and filter by Price. It will mostly result in the Xiaomi Poco F3, which is everybody's favourite mid-range gaming phone these days.

If you top up a little, it gets you something with "shoulder triggers" like Black Shark 4, if you are serious into gaming. Black Shark 4 also has better touch sampling rate (720Hz) than many phones above and below its price.

Androids with Snapdragon 888 processors will run all games, but whether they can sustain that performance over a period depends on the phone design. As a result, sometimes a cheaper processor like Snapdragon 870 or Dimensity 1200 aren't too far behind 888 in sustained tests.

For shooting games, screen response time is important but all OLED screens have fast response times anyway, and OLED screens are pretty standard on mid-range phones in 2021. IPS can have good response times if the phone manufacturer specifically claims it.

If you are going to use wireless headsets, anything less than Bluetooth 5.0 is unacceptable because Bluetooth 4.2 simply has too much audio lag. Lips on movies not in sync. Footsteps in games not in sync. However, Bluetooth 5.0 is pretty standard these days on all phones.

Xiaomi doesn't make many smaller phones. If they are too big, consider Samsung S20 FE or A52s. The added bonus of using Samsung phone is the great software. There are bloatware but you can hide Bixby, Samsung Pay, etc. On a storage of at least 128GB (pretty standard these days), they won't get much in the way even if you can't uninstall them. Personally, I rather have a phone with all the goodies packed into it than having to download third-parties that are filled with intrusive ads. If you are hiking, weather can be unpredictable. Be assured that these have IPX7 rating.

realme GT Neo and OnePlus Nord 2 have closer to stock Android feeling.

An even smaller phone with good gaming performance and IPX7 is the Asus ZenFone 8, if you willing to incur additional RM400 over your budget. However, it is even more stock Android than realme or OnePlus. Hopefully, the upcoming Android 12 "Material You" release can improve the theming and customization experience. For this compact size and prize, there are literally no more alternatives.

Samsung phone consider good software? I tried one, and man... their phone is just riddled with bloatware. And they ask me to install lazada because it is a 'essential app'. Pretty sure I clicked on the No button during the first time booting the phone out of the box, but then... I found Lazada is already installed.

I'm kinda mad how phone reviewers never review about the software experience, everyone is just focused on hardware and performance. Unless you're using other samsung products, I don't see how anyone would want another app store with its own updates separate from the playstore messing with their phone.

I was a long-time Samsung user and also owns a Galaxy watch. Therefore, I was slightly taken aback by how much stuff are missing on my ZenFone 8. The adaptive refresh rate implementation was also sub-par compared to the ones on the latest Galaxy flagships. To its credit, ZenFone 8 does have certain things like charging limits, which Samsung only puts on their tablets and flip/fold phones. They've also fitted the ROG Game Genie on it. Samsung aren't that selfish so we can install apps like their Internet browser and Samsung Health on any android phone too.

Mostly it is the women reviewers (for example, "Created by Ella") that seemed to cover the software side of things more in depth.

thank you soo much guys. I had bought a new phone. Xiaomi Poco. Unbelievable spec with the affordable price.
