I want to get a new device that will be used to play some games. Nothing too demanding, mostly simple puzzle games, possible a side scroller and/or RPG.

The one game that is a MUST to run fluently is Tapped Out.

I am using an old deactivated Nexus S 4G with AOKP and Tapped out get's jerky and crashes at times. I have already tried running stock, AOSP, and CM with the same results.

As of now, the only things I have on the phone are Tapped Out, Jones on Fire, Plague Inc, Angry Birds Friends, Candy Crush Saga, Bubble Witch Saga, and Pet Rescue Saga.

As you can see, I am not planning on running a lot and don't need a lot of space. A good 2GB of storage would be fine for me, and as long as I get the same battery life that I am getting now I will be fine.

I want an in-expensive Android tablet or deactivated phone to play with, as cheap as possible. Used and refurbished are fine with me. Don't really care if I have to root and flash a custom ROM, though it would be nice to be able to just run stock.

If you need any more info let me know.

I wonder about the internal memory issue! Which is also a reason I lean away from HTC One X! I use 32gigs in my mini pro currently Yup the whole 32 gigs!

About 11 to 12 Gb. Question: What uses so much data?

As I mentioned it's my sister's cell, she'd rather wait for a LOOOOONG delayed 4.3 or maybe 4.4 update now and blame me for getting her this, instead of rooting and tinkering.

Though quite frankly, I'm using my S2, unrooted and stock JB 4.1.2

And she's using her S3, ditto version.

So technically her phone should outperform mine. But it is the contrary.

Which is why I'm seriously disappointed!

Hello everyone, i am new to this whole "tablet" thing.

I was looking to buy a tablet from the "chinese" market.

I am interested in buying the cube u9gt5. I want the 4core [MENTION=1247388]1.6[/MENTION] Ghz version one with the 2gb ram. I am saying this because cube has two different models releashed with the same name.

The specs are shown in the image below.

It is priced at 215-220usd ( or 155-160euros for the european members :) )

Do you think it will be a money well spent deal?

Comparing it with other tablets with the same or similar specs it is one of the cheapest.
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
At 220 usd, I'd strongly recommend the nexus 7 or 10.

Since a tablet with 10000mah seems quite fake. It would equal out to maybe 1500mah. Also TF slot cards are unreliable in my personal experience, bought a chinese cell long back. Couldn't find one at first and when I did, it corrupted within 2 months.

Also nexus specs are close or almost equal to this one with a guarantee of the latest android updates.

Maybe someone else would chip in here as well.

I want to get LG Optimus G E975 because the Built-in storage is 32 GB

and from gsmarena benchmarks it's faster than LG Nexus 4

I want to get LG Nexus 4 because I'll get latest stock android and because I think it looks better

I didn't saw both phones in real life only on the internet

LG Optimus G E975

+ Built-in storage is 32 GB

+ Faster

- It Will not get latest stock android (currently on JB 4.1.2 & I think it will not get any more update)

- It doesn't look very good for me

LG Nexus 4

+ It will get latest stock android

+ It looks better for me

- Built-in storage is 16 GB

- Slower

Hi guys,

I'd like to buy a new tablet since mine broke days ago and I'm in pressing need to have another asap (study needs).

I'm on the market for 2 or 3 tablets since I intend to buy one also for my mother and my aunt but

I'm stuck in the endless cycle of troublesome (buying chinese product sometimes is!) decision-making and really can't make up my mind, so i'd like you to share your opinions and experiences with some models that i consider noteworthy.

If you're willing to aid, let my clarify my main needs:

1. I need (!)a tablet for studying, that means high quality display,fast internet browsing, and smooth handling of big pdf files,djvu, and so on, pdf editing, taking lecture notes.

2. I want (!) a tablet to play with, good (not astonishing) graphics and smooth performances, both in 2d and 3d games.

3. I want(!) a tablet to watch movies,anime,youtube,but expecially HD stuff. (this calls for BIG SCREEN SIZE!)

4.I don't need built-in/external 3g, but I won't despise it.

5. I have 250 euro budget(me) and 200 max (mom), forget the aunt for now.

6. also need 2gb ram

AFAC my mom instead :

1. She needs to write e-mails, surf the internet, play (a lot) of maybe gpu-demanding games, read books, chat with family(also video chat),don't need 3g, BIG SCREEN SIZE!

2.She's imptient of getting her first tablet so i'd like to buy her the perfect one given my budget restrictions.

Given all that i came up with these thougths:

-Hyundai t10 looks like a good deal, it's 220 euro (aliexpress-eternal) but it runs exynos 4412 that i crave to have on my tab, has good screen resolution, good battery life,good graphic performances (mali 400).

It's the kind of device I imagine being in my handbag in university and next to me on the couch while relaxing.

Not brilliant 3d graphic or "awww" retina screen but a good and reliable life companion.

-I'd like to get mom an A31 tablet, but thanks to google and to my chuwi v99 quad experience, i know graphic awesomeness has a price in terms of reliability in everyday tasks, so i'm considering some rk3188 like Pipo M6 (wifi pro)(retina screen) and Pipo M9 (wifi pro) with mali 400 instead(or also the Cube U30GT2 or U9GTV)but know that mali 400 is not able to properly manage retina resolution, and it lacks smoothness in some areas too.

Furthermore, I have excluded Visture V97,Ainol Spark 9, Chuwi V99 quad,ALL Onda, and ALL tablets under 9.7 inch.F

So the question is, do you mind helping me getting the good ones *__* ?

Am I forgetting some top-notch competitor?

Thanks in advance guys!

Nexus 4 and Optimus G are identical devices.

Just decide whether you want More storage (G) or assured fastest updates (N4).

I prefer Optimus G
[General Questions and Answers] ghling:
Hi there

I'm thinking of finally replacing my good old Nexus S, but I'm quite unsure of what to buy.

I'd take a Nexus 5 without hesitation, but I assume it will also have a fixed battery you can't remove easily (read: remove the cover and take out the battery), which is a no-go for me.

My next thought (obviously) was a Samsung device, but I don't want to support their current business conduct with restricting the use of foreign sim cards here in europe.

So I have no real idea, which phone is worth purchasing at the moment. I want to use it with CM or another Custom Rom, so the easier you can root the phone and install roms, the better.

Battery life would be great (of course) and I'd prefer a smaller screen over a bigger one, but that's not the main factor for me.

Any suggestions?

Edit: As I'm living in Switzerland, a phone I can purchase in europe would be great :)
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
I don't know and couldn't find what IRDA is, but considering the rest features, you should go with the Xperia series as per your budget.

Xperia Z1 > Z > ZR

Imo better buy a portable charger for your current Nexus 4. It'd be a better investment. Coz Chinese phones usually come with TF slots not microSD slots.

Also a charger would provide quite a large backup than a new phone since manufacturers haven't really started using bigger battery backups.

Definitely the G. And if storage isn't an issue for you, Nexus 4.

Since you have no specific requirements or budget, you cam buy the latest with expandable memory unlike the Nexus.

Check out Xperia Z1 and Optimus G2.

I'm not sure if I'll need big storage but I like bigger storage and I also like stock and latest updates xD

so the reason I want to get G because it's faster than N4 and because it has bigger storage.

and the reason I want to get N4 because I will always get latest updates and because I think it looks better.

- top end specs

- smaller than a Galaxy S 2 (I think 4.3 - 4.5 inch screens are perfect size)

- good/great battery life - I couldn't care less about thin; make it thick and beefy but give me 12+ hours of talk

Looking for a cheap upgrade for my Galaxy S

Hi everyone,

i hope you can help me with the following situation:

I'm currently a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 with Android 4.2.2, probably gonna update to 4.3 sometime soon.

Overall i'm rather happy with that phone but the more i use it, the more i realize that in terms of today it's rather slow and probably lacks ram as well.

Currently i don't have much money to spare but as this device is rather old already, i was thinking that maybe i can get a decent upgrade for little money...

So, i'm looking for a cheap (below 200€, around 100€ would be better) new Android smartphone that would be a decent improvement over my current Galaxy S i9000.

As for the specs i'd need, i don't think anything below a dualcore with 1GB ram would make sense.

Also i would want a decent quality, so probably an outdated high price device might be better than a budget phone (i might be wrong here).

And last but not least, i definitely need a phone that is popular enough that i will be able to get custom roms with the latest Android versions for a while. (Wouldn't want my new phone to fall behind my old one in that regard. ;) )

In short, looking for:

Android smartphone, below 200€ (preferably around 100€).

needs to be a decent upgrade to Samsung Galaxy S i9000 -> at least 1GB ram and dualcore

good quality preferred (want to use that phone for at least 1-2 years)

the usual custom roms should be available in their newest versions for the next years

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Hello everyone!

I've been looking around in the phone market for a new device, and I don't know what to go with.

I've had the original Droid RAZR since release week, and lately, after using newer phones, I'm really noticing the speed difference.

My phone has gotten sluggish, nonresponsive, and has some hardware issues.

I have never kept a phone stock, and I enjoy having a lot of options as far as ROMs, themes, and overall customization.

I've been leaning toward a GNote II, but I've read some negative reviews on it. I like the overall massive screen size, but I don't know if it's worth it.

I currently run the latest LiquidSmooth ROM for my RAZR, and it seems to work alright, but lacks some features that other ROMs have to offer.

It seems there has been a ton of development for the GNote II, and it still continues to have a lot of it, which peaked my interest even more with the device.

I am on the Verizon Network.

I would just like some options and reviews from real people that can actually provide some clear insight on the best device out there today.

Reason I say the GNote II over the III, is the price difference.

Help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
