Moto g or s5 clone or another chinese phone

Moto g or s5 clone or a good chinese phone? (i have disability/need some help)

Hi all, i only just joined this forum (so didn't know where to post this on here, sorry)

im in London uk

please bare with me as i have a bad illness im battling

ok in short ive been very very unwell for 13 years (very long story,but i was basically bed bound 13 years)

i used to be into tech etc but now have a disability (im not as bad as before but still bad)

anyway i got my first flat over a year ago and at end of year had a £1000 phone bill :crying:(talktalk land line) it was cause my illness im not thinking straight & because mums still in a mobile home full of mold (i have alot on my mind so not concentrating)

anyway in short im not going to use the landline EVER AGAIN!

im going to get a pay as you go 3sim (321 its called)

but i need a mobile phone and have been told to get a moto g 4g version

BUT i really want a samsung s5 clone but dnt know where to buy one (plus i want a good one octa core i heard is best?)

wanting as much ram as poss

i dnt want to get ripped off,i dnt have the money for a real s5, but im wanting to buy the best s5 clone their is going if poss?

any help please , or should i just get a moto g

also ive NEVER had a smartphone in my life so where could i learn about how to use them and what can be done with them etc

also do they need any security installing on them? as on my laptop i use avast and malwarebytes

also i heard dnt buy fake phones as most have malware/spyware deep in the phone that send personal info to chinese servers

is this true?

please remember i have a disability so find it hard to learn (but trying) i dnt know if this is the best forum to ask these questions,if not could someone tell me what forum to use

thankyou

p.s as im in the flat most the time would it be best to turn wifi off when i go out incase it costs money

as i heard to only use smartphones with a router and not outside as it costs alot of money

i know this seems odd its just ive spent £1000 on a phone bill and never want this to happen ever again

also is talktalk cheapest broadband in the uk?

also i dnt want a landline,although i guess if i never use the landline to make calls this want happen again

remember guys i was bedbound for nearly 13 years (long story with my health)

because of this its like coming out of a coma for me i have 13years of catching up!!:(

Hi ma8

unfortunatly i dnt have facebook (& i wont for a while as i got health and personal issues to sort at the mo)

all it was is i dnt want to use a landline again & thought ill just get a smartphone and pay as u go (weird that mobiles are cheaper to use than a landline now:silly:)

anyway i was even thinking of getting a fake smartwatch to go with the s5 clone (remember ive been basically out the world for 13 years) it was only using google yesterday that i noticed watches since with phones now (feels like i woke up in space age lol) as last techy thing i ever did was chip ps1's lol.

anyway i want a clone/fake (i wanna be diff lol)

seems hdc s5 legend is best (from a lil googling) what you think?

thing is their seems to be loads and loads of hdc legends (diff specs etc)

and also i dnt know where to buy one?

In the last 5 years I've had the Galaxy S, Samsung Captivate, Samsung Infuse 4g, followed by the Galaxy S2, Note 1, Galaxy S4, Note 2 and finally my Note 3 that I've had since release day. There is no doubt that the Note 4 is going to be a bad ass device. However I'm getting burned out with Samsung. Other then the hardware changing and getting better from device to device, it's the same tired setup. I root every device and use Nova Launcher but it's getting tired now. The new LG G3 looks like a bad ass phone on paper. Great specs, great reviews on CNET, maybe its time for something different. I know the note 4 is going to have a 2K screen like the G3 along with the fingerprint scanner and who knows what else. I bought a Galaxy S5 last week out right, and after 3 days of use I took it back because I liked my note 3 better, nothing on the GS5 justified a $660 purchase over my Note 3.

All my Samsung phones have been rooted and flashed with ROM's, radio's and kernels dozens of times, and not a single one of my Samsung phones have ever left me down. Never had one fail, never received one with any dead pixels, they have all been reliable fantastic devices. The fact I use cases makes me care less about metal or plastic devices. I don't go for sexy, I go for hardware, functionality and screen quality/resolution.

I can't decide if I want to give LG a try and buy the G3 in July/August when it's released here in the states or stick with someone I trust and get the Note 4 in September/October when it's available. Never had to think about what I wanted in a long time. I always knew I'd get the next note or Galaxy S when available, but now there's some swift competition out there.

New Android phone to replace htc myTouch 4G

For the last couple years I have used the Walmart $30 T-Mobile prepaid plan. My smartphone usage is very small and limited to when I travel out of town.

I have been using an htc myTouch 4G. The phone broke and I need another one.

I quite enjoyed the htc MyTouch 4G. It seemed to have very high quality audio for a phone. The camera and camcorder operated well. The built in Google GPS app (It seems different form what I can download on the Play Store) is my favorite GPS ever.

The phone must for relatively easy rooting.

Must support being a mobile hotspot.

and must support the newer 4G LTE band instead of the myTouch's HSPA+

What would a cheap similar phone be today? Used is fine.

Moto X is very small and comfortable for a 4.7" screen. The Sony Z1 Compact is a beast of a 4.3" phone, and its rumored successor, the Z3 Compact (they're apparently skipping a generation) will have a 4.5" screen. Hopefully they can keep the same size body, since the Z1C is a bit large in the bezel department.

Dears ,

i am using android for years now not a new user ,, i used to carry 2 phones one for work the other for my personal use like games, watching movies, listening to music, etc...

I had Note 3 N9005 and Moto G Dual SIM but both was stolen from me 2 weeks ago ,, i decided to get a cheap device with 2 SIMs to carry instead of buying a 2 new mobiles - there is no money of-course:D- so i picked LG G PRO Lite Dual from LG which is good so far with big screen doing the job and LG announced that the device will be updated to Kitkat by the end of the year which is not bad

http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_announces...-news-8908.php

So now i am using this phone for all matters ,, Mails Music Movies Work ,, i miss having my own personal device for my entertainment and can't decide ,, shall i get a tablet ,, shall i wait for Note 4 ?! but don't think that it's a good idea to carry 2 big size phones

if i will get a tablet which is better ?! Galaxy Note or Galaxy Note Pro ?! Shall i wait for the Tab S ?! Next Nexus tablet ?! very confusing to choose

so please advice if you have a similar situation ,,, what shall i do ??!

Thank You

Better for what?

Z1 is better built. Waterproof.

N5 has more support when it comes to modifying.

Specs are basically the same, but N5 has better screen.

Z1 has better camera.

N5 is way cheaper.

Z1 has a microSD slot.

Z1 will have better battery life.

N5 will get immediate updates.

U can buy Moto X or a Moto G if u depending upon how much money u wanna save

or obviously can buy a Nexus 5 if u can effort

But my preference would be dnt buy a Samsung phone if u just dont wanna waste ur money

---------- Post added at 08:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

definately IPS is far more better then TFT in all ways if u leave the question of BATTERY LIFE.........
[General Topics] Planterz:
Of those two, I'd pick the Nexus 5. It fits my desires more than the Z1 does. The Z1 has amazing specs, but I've heard so much about the screen being disappointing that it put me off of getting the Z1 when switching to T-Mobile.

I'm guessing you have about $400 to spend. Don't ignore the Moto X or the LG G2. The Moto X runs very smoothly, even though its specs might mislead you into thinking otherwise, plus it's extremely ergonomic and packs a big screen into a small size. And you can pick up the LG G2 for relatively cheap these days (~$420 on ebay, unlocked), and it still hangs in there with the very best when it comes to benchmarks.

Then there's the OnePlus One. It's big, and getting one right now isn't likely (a month or two...hopefully), but it's one hell of a phone for the price, if you can get one.

If I had about $400 to spend, and I needed the best phone I could buy RIGHT NOW, it'd be a G2 or the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. The Nexus 5 is nice, and certainly has its advantages when it comes to modding and receiving the latest updates, but IMO the G2 is a better phone (better battery, better camera), and the Z1 Compact has its charm being smaller, yet very high performance, as well as being waterproof.

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------

The Z2 absolutely SMOKES the Z1 in battery life (on the same 3000mAh battery). Like nearly double. I don't know about TFT vs IPS when it comes to battery life, but the Z2 is one of the longest lasting flaghship phones you can get right now. Could be hardware, could be software, could be both. But the Z2 is one of the best marathon runners out there. The LG G2 has fantastic battery life too.
[General Topics] KOKOPELLIS:
i'm agree with u but z2 is another level we cannot compare with z1 or g2 i guess..

i was waiting for x+1 at google i/o but it is missed..

i ve an xperia now and i can say that sony makes the UI - customization very well ...also the app are not so bad if u compare with that u can find on play store..

i don't like so much Samsung...is too strict with their device ... but i dont regret the htc...i had one some years ago and sense UI is not bad..HTC is my wish... but too expensive...so... N5 or Z1 or maybe x+1 if google decide to show it...
[General Topics] Planterz:
When the Moto X was first introduced, it cost every bit as much as every flagship phone on the market. I honestly wouldn't expect the X+1 to be any different. Rumors say the X+1 will have a Snapdragon S800, which is at least one step behind current flagships, and 2 steps behind upcoming ones (with the 805). Again, like the original Moto X, specs might not mean as much, since the Moto X, with its "inferior" specs, was still a very fast and fluid phone, but we'll have to see how the X+1 turns out before making that judgement. But if you've got a certain amount to spend, I wouldn't wait for the Moto X+1, because I'd expect it to be in the $600-700 range (or $200 on-contract), just like the original Moto X was at its release.
[General Topics] KOKOPELLIS:
i will wait till 10th August(my birthday) and yes i will spend max 350-400$ ..so x+1 it will not be a good choice (if the rumors are true 600$)...

also moto g is not so performant but it has a wonderfull customization and it runs very well for its hardware...if i don't remember wrong it was the first phone with "always listening" of "Ok google"; right?

sooo i have one month for get a decision.. :S maybe the prices get lower and i can get an htc for 400€ on ebay (don't guess :) ).

anyway thanks for your advices
[General Topics] Planterz:
If you're spending that much, go with the LG G2. Apart from the mostly unavailable 1+1, it's the best value for a high-end smartphone you can buy.
