Hello, folks! :)

I'm on the market for a new budget Android device (currently the proud owner of an Xperia Neo, I know, grandpa's phone for these days, that's why I'm looking for a new one :) ), and I've brought my choice down to these two :

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5876&idPhone2=5419

Both have their pros and cons, and I can't possibly decide which one would be best. I'm kinda digging the bigger display, more RAM and user memory on the Core, but then again the Duos 2 has a newer CPU (although I don't exactly know if it's better) and higher res video recording. Sooo.... any input is much appreciated, thanks! :)

If you're then get the Z2

You'd probably want the Z2 :) N you won't get bored of the stock rom that easily N by then it'll have enough custom roms :D

As for the conversion I've no idea, N if it's by rooting N flashing I guess you won't

N you'd probably have to root to remove the boat as well

Learning Tablet for Child

Just seen this thread and I'm hoping I could get a suggestion on what tablet I could/should get to fill my needs. This will be my first tablet so I do not know a whole lot about them (hardware demand wise). What I am looking for is a tablet that can run apps such as khanacademy, which utilizes youtube videos. A camera is not a must, but the ability to play mkv/x264 videos (720p) would be a big plus. Games are not a factor for me but youtube and video playback have to be decent.

Completely optional is the ability to be rooted, it would be nice so when I get back into tinkering with android I can play with it, but again not needed.

I am very price conscious so I am not looking to spend a whole lot and would love to keep it $99 or less if at all possible.
[General Questions and Answers] n2xt19:
I'm not sure if the title of your post is facetious, but if it is, I have a few suggestions.. However, unfortunately, there are not many good options for a $99 budget. If you are not willing to be flexible, you're better off going to walmart and buying something foreign.

Why not Huawei Honor 3C ??
[General Questions and Answers] banjara:
I ignored huawei phones initially as I thought they are still making their bones into the market and they have not proved themselves for very long. I just checked the specs and they are quite impressive for the price range. however, I am seeing mixed reviews for this. People are talking about heating issues and I am a little skeptical of service centers too.

Do you own one?
[General Questions and Answers] KayKashyap:
No.

then moto g might be a good option,few of my colleagues own it,& they are satisfied with it.

Go for Desire 816.
[General Questions and Answers] KayKashyap:
Dont u feel that Desire 816 is overpriced ?

IMHO, for the SoC they have put,i think they should reduce their price..
[General Questions and Answers] jayc137:
ZR and 816 are available for the same price online i.e. 25k~.

If I were in your place I'd prefer 816 due to better screen, stereo speakers and Sense UI. ZR will soon approach its end of life and will not recieve official updates unlike 816. With that being said however I like the S4 Pro in ZR and also it's waterproof. Can't go wrong buying either :P
[General Questions and Answers] KayKashyap:
yes that's true,

and Sony is very good at forgetting there older products -_- >.<

Multi OS Phone (a HD2 successor )

Hi iam searching for a new Phone that gets some nice DEV_LOVE.

A phone that can run Win8 and Android would be cool.

I currently use a Motorola Razri that is not realy getting much attention.

I own a HD2 so iam a bit spoiled in regards of hackability.

My Phome history is:

Mototola m3880

siemens s35i

nokia 6310i

nokia 5510

sony erricson k800i

HTC Magician (the phone that broad me to XDA)

HTC HERMES

T-Mobile G1

HTC HD2

Nokia e71

Nokia N900

Palm Pre 3

Razri

(i bet i missed one or two)

My Question now is:

What phone can run multiple operationsystems.? Win8 / Android preferred?

A QWERTY phone would be nice but that party seems to be over, Blackberry is the last man standing, drunk and refuses to go home.

Extra features like irda, nfc or USB-OTG etc are welcome too.

Iam not expecting "THE ONE AND ONLY DEVICE" but a push in the right direction would be nice.

The desire 816 has a non removable battery ::bad:: the s3 is okay stock, but running bilgerryans wicked x has made it 1000 times better. S5 ported apps, fluidity package, cnexus toggles, adobe flash 11 ect. Awsome developers ;). Even if you dont get an s3.. Dont get a desire 816; way over priced, the desire has bigger screen but its only 720 resolution ::bad:: and remember non removable battery.. Phone locks up, you cant take it out. When i flash with odin/recovery/adb i like taking my battery out when i need to. Good phones are lg g3, s3 4 and 5;if you can afford it, note 2 and 3, and the htc one is awsome if you got the green. Good luck picking a phone, youtube is a great place for reviews.

[General Questions and Answers] phazer11:
Ok. so back in September I was seriously considering getting the Xperia Z1 because it seemed like AT&T might get a variant of the phone and I kind of needed a new phone.

Now I desperately need a new phone. I'm currently keeping mine alive with a wipe every two months and taking the battery out whenever it decides to freeze up (once or twice a month). The microphone also seems to be cutting out every now and then and turning on the wifi nukes the batter in less than a day (whereas without it on it'll last at least a week). I currently have a Samsung Infuse.

What I'd like from the phone. Nothing from Apple.

1. Good camera (8MP or preferably better that produces clear images since there's been improvement since I got the Infuse)

2. Good screen (clear and preferably 4" or better; the Infuse's screen is 4.5" and that makes typing comfortable with my meaty fingers)

3. The microphone is almost as important to me as the screen but since the screen is used for other things like typing texts, navigating webpages, etc. it has slightly higher priority. I'd like it to have good tonal range pickup as well as good range (since I don't mic well) and I'd like to be able to put it on speaker phone

4. It must be on AT&T

I'd also like to be able to put a custom rom on it as well as root it but that's not as important as the hardware. Also if it has an Otter Box case available that'd be icing on the cake.

Help please?

Moto x Vs Xperia ZR, which would be a worthy buy?

I have a dilemma in choosing over the Moto X and the Xperia ZR, performance wise which is a better phone to buy?

Moto X is $365 and the Xperia ZR is $398, but the ZR was $435, they reduced the price and I wasn't even aware of it. (Flipkart India).

So is Moto X worth the extra price? I know the phone looks gorgeous and very ergonomic, I love the turquoise and white combination.

But performance wise, is the purchase justified? ,

Hi,

I'm looking for a new android phone and I'm currently very undecided as to what phone would suit my needs.

What I need is:

-Powerful specs

-Average+ battery time

-Size should not be significantly larger than the Samsung Galaxy S2

-Plenty of ROMs available

What I am not needing is:

-Powerful camera

-"Futuristic" functions (ex. Z2 waterproof)

I've been looking at the Nexus 5 but I feel as though the phone is focused a lot on design/appearance and not so much what I'm looking for, I may be wrong though.

4G tablet recommendation.

I just got accepted into the medical program I have been aiming for and am looking for a tablet for the program. Almost all of my books are available in eBooks format and are of course cheaper than the paper bound ones, plus lighter. I'm looking for a recommendation on a tablet that supports 4G LTE for Verizon. I have grandfathered in from Verizon's unlimited data plan and want to pull my SIM from my phone to my tablet when I need to connect to sync my documents and eBooks notes while I'm out. I will be traveling to clinical sites and my school is in another town.

Anyway I was leaning to the Galaxy Note 10.1. Yet I am open to other suggetions. I want to know if I have to have a "Verizon" tablet, or can it be another 4G supported tablet. On Ebay some said they supported 4G but didn't say what carrier so I'm wary before buying.

I don't wish to go the Windows RT route, I don't like the restrictions. Look forward to hearing what you think and picking out a tablet to buy!
