My main reasons for people staying away from the LG G3 are mainly due to the resolution. Since its release, there havn't been any apps that take use of 2560x1440, including Google ones as well--unless some have been introduced since its release which I don't pay attention to. Not to mention barely any or no streaming services stream higher than 1080p yet. Therefore, the battery is wasted on average more, and it produces more heat. And QuadHD is worthless on a device that small.

I love my M8,albiet it's a stock Verizon one and not a Play edition version. My only complaints are the camera focusing is weird, which is every 4.3 and above phone iirc, and that you can't remove the battery; even though I last the day without charging and using it a lot, I always get the biggest ones I can buy. You can still take good pictures, but if you can't sacrifice any megapixels at all, then you won't like it I guess. It has some weight to it as well as friends mention, but coming from a RAZR I couldn't notice it.

Hey guys :)

I'm looking to buy a new smartphone for my girlfriend, since her s3 mini died on our holiday, finally :laugh:

To be honest I dont know what to get and that's why I need some of your opinions.

Also it doesn't matter if I have to install a custom rom or be on stock.

Budget is max 330$ (250€) and the phone should have following features,

- good battery life

- good camera

- (micro)sd slot

What it doesn't need:

- LTE

- random stuff which normal girls dont need

I hope you can help me and suggest different phones.

p.s.: Fk my english

EDIT: What do you guys think about the Xperia Z1 compact ?

I can get it for 220€ (290$).

Well, I have read from other phones having similar problems (except the camera one). I am talking about the Snapdragon version, not the Exynos.

Seems like a really good choice, great price.
[General Topics] Planterz:
Awesome phone. Great hardware, good (if a tad small) screen, awesome camera. Plus it's waterproof. $290 is a fantastic price.
[General Topics] innomi:
The OnePlus one beats the z1 on every aspect.

Only thing is it doesn't have the SD card option.

But with 64GB on board I don't think you would need that :p

Keeping in mind he is thinking about getting a Z1 compact (4,3") the OPO seems too big. Also, it is more expensive than his max budget. Don't get me wrong, the OPO is a great phone, but It isn't what he seems to be looking for.
[General Topics] innomi:
Expensive?

It's below his budget!

It's only 299 dollar!

And I didn't saw he was talking about compact.

Although that can be because that's the only version wich fitted his budget.

Would this be a nice upgrade to my nexus 7 (2012) tablet?

http://tinyurl.com/o5xj7wj

I've had my nexus 7 since launch in 2012. At first it was great and I loved it. But now it's giving me problems. It takes way too long to charge up (9 hours). I even bought that easyaac 5V fast charger from amazon thinking it would help. It didn't. Plus it barely lasts for 4 hours before dying. So about that new asus memo pad. It seems to be like the nexus 7 with the addition of a rear camera, SD card slot (thank god), and more powerful processor (Intel). And for $100 less than what I paid for my current tab. Is this a good buy? Can it do everything the nexus 7 can? Like be rooted, able to able to side load apps that aren't on the play store, etc?

[MENTION=4681237]teonagode[/MENTION] thanks for the reply.

I have maximal €375 available.

If i would only focus on hardware/high specs than i should defenitly choose LG G2 but i would love to have a HTC device.

Recently [MENTION=1071274]Archer[/MENTION] and some mods recommended me the M7 and i think i will choose that one.
[General Topics] Archer:
Yes - that really is worth mentioning. The two front-facing speakers combined with the beats audio processing really make it sound amazing. I used to use mini speakers with other phones - I've had both wired and bluetooth. I've tried the same things with the M7 and I just turn them off straight away as there's no competition. Don't get me wrong, it's not gonna compete with a real sound system (of course), but it's the best audio I've heard out of a mobile device, ever.

Xiaomi Redmi 1s or Asus Zenphone 5 or Xolo Q1010i?

I'm totally confused between these two phones and upcoming Android Technology, so please assist me.

From past 2-3 days I'm searching a new phone and shortlisted these three phones:

Xiaomi Redmi 1S: 1.6 Quad-core Snapdragon 400 MSM8228, Adreno A305, 1GB RAM, 8MP Sony ExmorR Full HD camera, 1.6MP 720p secondary camera, 4.7" 1280x720p display with 312ppi.

ASUS Zenphone 5 (A501 CG 8GB): 1.6 Dual-core Intel Atom, PowerVR SGX 544 MP2, 2GB RAM, 8MP BSI Full HD camera, 2MP secondary camera, 5" 1280x720p display with 294ppi.

Xolo Q1010i: 1.3 Quad-core MTK 6582, Mali 400 - MP2, 500 MHz, 1GB LPDDR2 RAM, 8MP Sony Exmor R Full HD camera, 2MP secondary camera, 5" 1280x720p display with 294ppi.

For more details here's Flipkart.com's page for Xiaomi Redmi 1S, for ASUS Zenphone 5 & Xolo Q1010i.

Some facts I'm considering about Redmi 1S:

It is a Chinese company. (Of course It's a Chinese company, all phones are made from China).

MIUI steals our personal data and sends to Chinese servers (I don't have knowledge).

Not on XDA Forum (Though a bit of Custom ROMs are available but still I can't get pure Android experience if I want).

Phone won't last much longer i.e. Build quality isn't great.

Service centers are about 200km far from me.

Doesn't comes with earpieces.

Unknown battery backup.

Some facts I'm considering about Zenphone 5:

Lon-time in-availability of phone (still not available, god knows when it'll be available as I'm going to buy phone before 15 sept.).

Dual core processor & PoweVR GPU (I think it won't be able to handle big games like San Andreas).

Bogus (poor) Service/support & service centers are about 200km far (as said my many users of Asus Laptops).

Future update of Android L (I think it won't get Android L update).

Not on XDA Forum, not properly rooted & No custom ROMs are available (None of Zenphone models are on XDA).

Some facts I'm considering about q1010i:

This phone is a bit old (hence future update to Android L won't be possible I think).

MediaTek processor (MediaTek processors aren't that powerful as of Intel & Qualcomm).

The camera (though it is equipped with Exmor R but still pictures are very-very noisy in low light).

Lowest 3G talktime.

Also, I'm interested in getting Android L to my phone when it arrives weather Officially or via Custom ROM. :silly:

Probably referring to a new release or a phone coming soon I'd imagine since for all the flagship out now there's tons of reviews/benchmarks.

That's what's funny. Never thought I'd admit it too but I have to agree. Usually manufacturers and UI design/development never go hand in hand together, Motoblur being a great example.
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
The difference between M7 and M8 is really big because of the screen that is fitting better at the M8.

Screen is high and 4,7 inch on M7 so it's not wide enough ( for me / my opinion ) and the M8 is making a difference with his 5 inch screen.

A little but essential step up :)

Hmm.... But as this phone is only available to buy Online and after reading many reviews about current stock of Moto G where many users say It's unable to recognize Indian SIM card and comes with 4.2.2 instead of 4.3 as specified by seller, so I excluded this phone from my list and another reason is limited storage which is either 8GB or 16GB.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

I've seen all Oppo phones in which only 1 phone comes in my range which, according to users is below the expectations and they're charging too much for the specs they've provided on Oppo Neo.

Moto G is worth buying for the money you can afford.

It has a really big development so there will be many custom roms that might fix your issue with indian sim cards.

ZTE line of phones called Nubia are AWESOME.

Their flagship called the Nubia Z7 (mine is a Z7 max, below this) has similar specs to the LG G3

On top of that their UI is great and nice.

The custom UI is a blend between iOS and Android which is pleasing to use.

Not to mention my Antutu Benchmark test puts my Z7 Max above the Note 3 / S5 / HTC M8

Needless to say with 3GB of ram as compared to my Z7 max which only has 2GB, the Z7 will outshine even more.

If you can get your hands on one, the value vs cost is much better than the LG G3

Also the feel is not cheap and more high class than the S5.

So I've seen that you can pick up NookHDs and HD+ for relatively cheap now as manufacturers refurbish (£50 / £75) and you can root them and put on CM11.

I basically want something I can use for net, videos, some games and comics

Does this sounds like a good idea or is it worth spending a bit more on something new and another model? I'd like to keep cheap though to be honest but I realise that you get what you pay for.

It's a bit pricier, but still a damn good deal, but I recommend looking at the LG G Pad 8.3, which is the tablet I own and love. It's as big as you can get, yet still hold comfortably in one hand. It'll definitely outperform the Nooks when it comes to games, and it has a great resolution and PPI density for a tablet. It's not as good as the Tab 4 S or Tab Pro or whatever they're called, but it's far cheaper and a better deal for what you get.
