My Suggestions:

Galaxy Note 4:

1440p Screen

Removable, Long-Lasting 3220 mAh-Battery

Good OIS-Camera with 16 Megapixels and 4K-Videos

Good Camera Performance in Low-Light

S-Pen-Stylus with many Features

High Touchscreen Sensivity

3 GB Ram and 32 GB IntMem

Gorilla Glass 4

But less features than Note 3, Ugly User Interface and no Radio.

No USB 3.0 like Note 3 and S5.

Xperia Z3 Compact:

Phyiscal Camera Shutter + Quick Camera Launch

4K Video Recording

Waterproofness (or Waterproofity)

High Processing Power

2 GB RAM

Very Robust

But no Removable Battery :(

Galaxy Note 3

First Phone to Record 4K Video

USB 3.0

Temperature Sensor + Hygrometer + all other Sensors

3 GB RAM

Good Camera UI and Features from the S4

Snapdragon 800

1080p@60fps and 720p@120fps (This is also included in the Note 4.)

All S4 gimmicks + software features

The Galaxy S6 would be good for you, but it has this disadvantages:

Non-Removable + Small Battery

No MicroSD

No USB 3.0

Not Waterproof

No MHL-MicroHDMI→ http://xdaforums.com/general/help/mhl-microhdmi-cable-stopped-note-3-t3164726

Also take a look at

LG G4

Galaxy Alpha (Good, Robust but non-removable batrery)

Galaxy S5

LG G3

Galaxy Note 2 and Note 3 Neo

HTC One M8 and M9 and Xperia Z3+ (they are quite good, but their battery is not replacable)

If the suggestions are insufficient, feel free asking me anytime for new suggestions :svetius:

→ What max price do you want to pay for the phone?

There is no "perfect phone" yet. Every phone as at least 10 disadvantages.

The only "perfect phones" for the time of their release dates were the S2 and the Note 3.

Got a note 4 at the moment ... I really want the Note 5, but the lack of non removable battery make me not to want it, because i test and review aftermarket batteries.

Also im tired of the Play Store...there is nothing there compared to Appstore but i cant imagine my self with an iOS device..

I really want a Device like the Note 4 with the fingerprint sensor without swipe though..

Project.... Zero.

What the hell do you say? Samsung continues Project Zero on the Note 5?

What were the last two words on AirFrance 447? we're dead. (wasn't it "ten degrees pinch"?)

I can say the same about the Note 5, [MENTION=596066]bbbobbbo[/MENTION] [MENTION=1846109]hella356[/MENTION]

But in the XDA-Forums, swearing is culpable. So i don't write the (any) dirty words here :)

COME ON,. SAMSUNG! WE NEED:

MicroHDMI (MHL)

MicroSD

Removable Battery

USB 3.0

Waterproofness

Good UI with many features

We don't need project zero! Project Zero is really a Zero.

[General Questions and Answers] Giuann:
What would you buy with 300-350$ which is unlocked? I had a Note 2 which gave to a dear friend, I use iPhone5 as primary device but need a second one and liked the Note2 ability to remove and change the battery, the big screen, the SD card and least but no last, coming off of Ois the ability to root and install software is not bad at all not to mention that I worked out synching iCloud phonebook, calendar and mail on the Note which is my primary need.

I see the N9005 should be the perfect device but it seems still quite at a steep price, looked at the HTC One M8 but no removable battery makes me think about it, no big deal for smaller screen and no pen, I like the metal case but the battery is a big issue and I want the home button to be a physical one and not a touch one, what would you suggest?

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] Hannah Stern:
Take a look at:

S4 GT-i9506

S5 G901F

Note 2 (N7100 = With Radio but no LTE; N7105 = No Radio But LTE)

S3 GT-i9305 with 2 GB RAM (it#s worthed it, because i9300 has only 1 GB.)

Xperia Z1 or Z2 (but they have no removable battery.)

Smaller Phones: Galaxy Alpha (Removable Battery, but no MicroSD); Z1 Compact and Z3 Compact

Avoid Galaxy A-Models

Cheapest XXL Phone = Galaxy Note 1 - N7000 (but it's very old)

Avoid S3 Mini (better = S4 Mini and S5 Mini)

Avoid S3 Neo (much lower amount of software features and hardware features and less power - like a Fake S3.)

I really hope, this helped. If you need any help, post here anytime you want :svetius:

The Nexus 7 seems to be quite good. The only disadvantages:

No MicroSD

No Removable Battery

No Front Camera

No MHL-Output

Good Tablet. Alternative = Note 8.0
[General Questions and Answers] arkantos5:
No MicroSD will certainly be a limitation although I fail to mention in my requirements, sorry about that -- every other limitation is okay with me.

What about LG G-pad product line? do they sell a tablet without a mobile carrier at all? thoughts on recently released Asus memo pad, zen pad?

thank you for your posts

A Perfect Phone

Hello, everybody. Does anybody know a phone, which has all the Mentioned Advantages?

3 GB RAM

Temperature Sensor

Humidity Sensor

Gesture Sensor

Air-Touch (aka TSP-Hovering)

MicroSD-Cards

Removable Battery with good Runtime

USB 3.0-Output

Good User Interface

*I do already know a phone with all those advantages. Do you?*
[General Questions and Answers] Hannah Stern:
Samsung made a Self-Suicide.

Yeah, Face-of-drops are the flaw of the S3, because the „2.5D GALAXY GLASS“ is not protected by the Metal Frame, because it is a few millemeters ahead. The Note 3 and the S5 have a protective Metal Frame, which is ahead the Glass.

I would recommend the Galaxy S6, but the Galaxy S6 does not exist. Instead, they made a project-zero-obsessed and messed-up „Galaxy“ S6.

There is an S6 with 128 GB but none with MicroSD. (Nobody expected Samsung to do a market-suicide.)

Thank you for mentioning so much specifications that you request. It's easier to find a good phone for you.

The 1+1 lacks of MicroSD. But there is one with 64 GB. The 1+1 has the best dev-support, i think.

The Galaxy S6 has a smaller battery than the S5.

Take a look at the Note 3 and the Note 4's specfifcation.

Good:

[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
LG G3 might be your best choice, or even the G2, since it's still a great phone and very cheaply bought. In my opinion the Note 3 is not too old, although I have no idea what it would cost for you or if that cost would be worth it. The OnePlus One is a great phone (I love mine), but as you say, it's nowhere to be found in your country, and finding someone willing to ship to Iran is probably an exercise in futility. Check out the Asus Zenfone 2 (the 64gb/4gb RAM version). Again, I can't speak for availability, but it's a hell of a phone for not much money.
[General Questions and Answers] electrofryed:
If you can find an SM-n9005 new (with the original 4.3 firmware), that would be the best phone money can buy. (Free from all the crazy restrictions from kk and L) IMO

A message to Google, Samsung, AT&T, and Verizon: If you restrict your customers, eventually, they will go somewhere else. (locked bootloaders, locked ext SD cards, locked SIM cards, locked WiFi calling, DATA restrictions, ect)
[General Questions and Answers] darkbob101:
Asus Zenfone 2 or Motorola Moto G (2015)?

Hi guys, I'm new here so I don't know if I posted this in the right place. I recently broke my Moto G 1st Gen, and I'm looking for a replacement. I really like the Zenfone 2 and the Moto G 3rd Gen, but can't decide between the two. My phone receives heavy usage daily with me listening to music 4-6 hours a day and playing games, along with tons of social media and texting. I rarely watch videos on my phone, so resolution isn't too much of a problem, but I do appreciate the Zenfone's 403 ppi. However, while the Zenfone seems to be the better choice for me, I know that some people reported that the Zenfone wasn't great. I know about the Zenfone's bloatware, I plan to uninstall/disable all of it unless i find it useful. I also know about the 3G/4G to 2G call drop issue, I have very strong 4G reception where I live. As for the Moto G, my 1st gen crashes ALOT. Does anyone know if this happens on the newer models? If anyone has a Zenfone and would like to inform me of the problems with it (also, problems with the Moto G are appreciated) and if anyone could point me in the right direction for which phone to buy that would be wonderful.

Thanks a ton!

[General Questions and Answers] Greydesk:
The zopo is missing NFC (something I'm trying to include if you saw my earlier list) and I couldn't find a xiaomi in my spec range AND my price range. I found the search facility on devicespecifications.com so I was searching for:

SIMs: 2 and up

CPU Cores: 8

RAM: 2gig and up

Internal Storage: 16gig and up

Display 4.5 - 5.5 inches

Resolution 720x1280 and up

Camera: 12MP and up

Battery: 2500mAh and up

NFC and Memory Card Slot

That gave me 22 results and then I searched Aliexpress for a reseller with 10+ orders, good feedback and a delivered price below $300 CAD. That gave me the shortlist.

Zopo speed 7 seems impressive. Is there a reason why these low cost high performance (assumed because of CPU&RAM specs) phones are not compatible with the US 4G network?
[General Questions and Answers] Greydesk:
They are mostly based on the mediatek (MTK) series of SOCs that don't generally have the same frequencies as the US frequencies. Its a moot point for me as I don't use DATA at all.
[General Questions and Answers] Hannah Stern:
OK. Take a look at the tech shop.

But what? You say, the Note 3 is too old?

In my personal opinion, it is even a little bit better than the S5 G900F, as good as the G901F and almost as good as the G906S. But the G906S is only for the country, where Samsung lives. South the country of Kim.

But the Note 3 still performs very good!

For it's time, it was a holy phone. It was still a superphone in 2014 and it is still much better than average in 2015.

It will be "old" in late 2016.

The S4 is starting to get "old". But the S3 still isn't bat.

The Note 3's age is old. But not the hardware specificaitons. :)

I kinda need one asap and from searching ali****ess i cant really find a decent cover such as a hard silicone cover that protects all corners for either.

leather covers are useless in my job as i work in construction.

it looks like a great phone and seems to have everything i want.

would ye recommend any other phone

also where would ye recommend me to buy from i usually but from ali****ess but i see u posted a link to another site im unfamiliar with.

after reading up about a few phones i have added a few new requirements

In bold

im looking for a recommendation on any 4g chinese phone with a 5inch screen.

4. http://www.rcs-rds.ro/telefoane-mobile/telefon?model=Lenovo+P70&pachet=digi_mobil_optim_nelimitat

Big battery (4000mAh) in combination with HD resolution should give a very good battery life.

Just some general points:

- battery should be ~3000mAh

- 5" display should have FHD resolution

- 2GB Ram minimum

- 16GB storage is enough for the OS, memory card recommanded

Please help me find a really big phablet.

Hello,

I am looking to replace my Sony Z Ultra with a larger device, and need some help finding a phablet that meets my needs.

My requirements are...

1. Must be able to make and receive voice calls on T-Mobile in the U.S. (including calls to 911, which means VoIP/SIP will not work).

2. Must support LTE data on T-Mobile in the U.S.

3. Must have a screen size between 7.0 and 8.5 inches.

4. Screen must be 1920x1080 or better resolution.

5. Must support MicroSD.

6. Processor must be equal to or better than a SnapDragon 800.

I know such devices exist outside the U.S., but I have thus far been unable to find any that work with the T-Mobile LTE bands here.

Any assistance locating such a device would be greatly appreciated.
