Take a look at the Omnia 2. It's got Windows Phone 6.5 - it can open EXE-Files.

Also take a look at the Galaxy Star (Not to Confuse with the Non-Galaxy Star :))

It's very hard to find one, which is smaller than 4.0 inches.

Thank you for using QUOTE.

[MENTION=5749364]Planterz[/MENTION] - You say „Stock on Jelly Bean"?. Welll... JB is still very good. It doesn't get worse, if a newer Version comes out. KitKat has all those Software-Bugs and Lollipop has got an ugly User-Interface. From KitKat, i recommend 4.4.1 or 4.4.4. :)

Jelly bean is still very satisfying. ;)

Example:

Look at that ugly new Skype! (Skype 7.0)

Skype 6.0 wasn't bad but 5.0 was still wonderful.

And Windows Vista wasn't really better than XP due to it's crashes and slowness. (But we had a Vista-Computer, that was very fast and actually only crashed twice in 6 Years. We still have it.)

Yes, that's horrible. One of those apps is the Google Camera. But i tested to install the APK on a Note 3 with Jelly Bean and... IT WORKED!

I have 2 4" phones for you

>Oppo Joy Plus

This phone was released last month, it comes pre-installed with Kitkat (+ Oppo's Color OS features and tweaks). I am pretty sure that Oppo will update this phone to 5.0/5.1 in the near future.

>Asus Zenfone 4

Even though this phones is slightly outdated and comes with Jellybean 4.3, Asus has releases 5.0 Lollipop update for this phone.

The phone is quite good, I've used it. The only con about this phone is that its camera lacks an LED Flash.

There's another thing to keep in mind, these two phones do not support LTE.

So if you are planning to use LTE, you can checkout these two slightly outdated models Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE G313 and Alcatel Pop. Both these phones are on Kitkat

Jellybean might be good, but Kitkat is way better than JB. In fact I think KK is the best iteration of Android ever, even better than Lollipop 5.1.1.

Trust me, I have 7 Android phones and 2 Android Tabs in my home running on everything from Gingerbread to Lollipop 5.1

[General Questions and Answers] Vohukain:
Hi! I'm looking for small, powerfull and not-so-expensive Android phone with long lasting battery. By small I mean something like max. 130x65x10mm. Smaller is better for me. Also I need 2100/900Mhz 3G and 2600/1800/800Mhz 4G would be great. Which of these you guys would recommend me to buy.

Motorola Droid Mini 4.3'', 121.3 x 61.3 x 8.9 mm, 200€

Sony Xperia ZR 4.6'', 131.3 x 67.3 x 10.5 mm, 155€

Jiayu G5s 4.5'', 130 x 63.5 x 7.9 mm, 200€

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini 4.3'', 124.6 x 61.3 x 8.9 mm, 150€

I would buy Droid Mini straight away (even 4G is not working here) but I'm little bit worried about it's battery life. Battery is very important to me. Then I think that Jiayu G5s would be second best shot but MediaTek chip means lack of Lollipop and custom roms. No thanks. Then there is Xperia ZR and S4 Mini. I think that Xperia ZR is faster and more powerfull even so it is running only SD S4 Pro at 1.5Ghz. I believe there is change to overclok Xperia ZR to 1.7Ghz (Droid Mini and Moto X running 1.7Ghz by stock with same chip)? Xperia ZR is also getting official Android 5.1. Go Sony! S4 Mini has CM12.

Only thing I'm little worried is Xperia ZR's size. I would love Droid Mini and S4 mini size. Is S4 Mini lot's of weaker than Xperia ZR or Droid Mini? Which one should I take? If I'm not going to choose Droid Mini, then I'm going to buy little extented batteries for other (Jiayu G5s 3000mAh [+50%, thickness: 9,95mm], Xperia ZR Mugen 2500mAh [+9%, same thickness], S4 Mini Mugen 2000mAh [+5%, same thickness]). That makes the difference between Droid Mini battery life even bigger to others.
[General Questions and Answers] podian:
By the way, a question: Will Droid Mini, or Droid 4, work with European providers?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
How much is a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact where you live? It's a better phone than all of those in pretty much every category. Of course, the Z3 Compact is the king of small Androids, but it seems like you're not going to spend that much.

The 1.7GHz S4 Pros are dual core, while the 1.5GHz ones are quad core. Performance is pretty similar. The Droid Mini might perform smoother since it has a lighter interface than Sony's, plus the X8 improvements Motorola made. Keep in mind that S4 Mini does not have the S4 Pro, but rather the 400, which is inferior and has an inferior GPU.

Just my opinion, adding an extended battery battery on a device you chose for its small size seems contradictory.

---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------

Yeah. Older Verizon "world phones" are unlocked when used outside the USA, newer ones are unlocked even inside the USA. Typically they only have band 13 sometimes band 4 or 2 (for support with extended coverage partners), which are US/North America bands, so you won't get LTE in Europe, but they do have quad-band UMTS and GSM, so you'll still get decent data speeds.
[General Questions and Answers] Vohukain:
Yeah I know that Z3 Compact is the best. But it is too expensive (over 400€) like Z1 Compact (almost 300€). I was also looking for Sharp Aquos Xx Mini because it is even smaller than Z3C and Z1C but it has SD800. However it would cost for me over 300€.

So Xperia ZR and Droid Mini are "in the same league" but S4 Mini is way behind? I was supposing so. I believe that SD S4 Pro is enought power for me. I guess that Xperia ZR is my choice then. Droid Mini's battery life is too weak.

But I'm not going to buy "a monster extented battery" like Zerolemon. I'm only looking for little extra boost. Mugen 2500mAh battery fits under Xperia ZR original backcover so dimensions doesn't change. It is still 9% more battery. I think that Jiayu G5s would have good battery life with 3000mAh battery. And thickness is still only 9,85mm with new backcover. But I think that I can't buy MediaTek.

Thanks for yot help!
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Checking ebay.co.uk I see some sellers in Hong Kong with the Z1 Compact for ~£160, which is about 220€. More "local", there's a German seller that has them for £190, about 260€. 260€ might be more than you're willing to spend (especially if you have to pay VAT - no idea if you do or not), but 220€ (about $245) is a very good price for this phone if you're willing to get it shipped from HK. IMO it's well worth the extra money considering it's significantly more future proof than these other phones. The ZR is basically the same internally as my Nexus 4, and it's still a competent, even potent device despite being 2.5 years old. However, the Z1C is a couple generations newer, and a SD800 with a 720p screen means it'll basically never run into an app or game it can't handle, plus being the newer device, and a flagship, it'll receive updates from Sony longer. A few extra bucks (or the Finnish colloquial equivalent) will go a long way here. 155€ converts to about $172, and personally, I think that's a bit much for something this dated. It's not a bad value, really, but when you can get SD600 and SD800 powered devices like the Z1, Z1C, LG G2, HTC M7, or Galaxy S4 for not that much more, I would seriously recommend spending/saving up just a bit more for something that'll be potent for so much longer.

I misunderstood, sorry. I bought a couple extended batteries for my Galaxy S4. One's merely a standard battery (Zerolemon), but by sacrificing NFC (which I don't use), I get a 15% increase from 2600mAh to 3000mAh. The other is a 7800mAh Anker, and yeah, it's freaking huge and feels like a brick in my pocket.
[General Questions and Answers] Vohukain:
Thanks, I believe that I need to check Z1 Compact prices once again. SD800 is good choice for future.

Yeah I don't want to brick or bricked phone :p. But I want as good battery life as possible in compact size. That is why I would buy little bit extented batteries. Z3 Compact has very good battery life but it too expensive. I will check Z1 Compact.

[General Questions and Answers] yzak58:
Wow! that's a huge list.

Actually I haven't used 4.4.2 that much because my phone got update to 4.4.4 on the same day as I bought my phone. I'm pretty sure that most of those bugs were fixed in the 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 versions of KitKat. My mom's Moto E is still running fine on 4.4.4KK and it outperforms my brother's Xiaomi Redmi 1s (which runs on 4.3 JB based MIUI) during most of the tasks.

[I know that the lag on my brother's Redmi 1s s probably caused by the MIUI tweaks implemented by Xiaomi, but you have to consider the fact that the Redmi 1s has a Snapdragon 400, whereas the Moto E is powered by the low end Snapdragon 200].

Google themselves once said that Jellybean needs at least 1GB of RAM to work properly and Kitkat would only need 512mb to do the same.

In my opinion, that alone makes KK(4.4.4) a better OS than JB. Also I hate Jellybean's Blue/Black Holo theme.

According to GSMArena, A3 does have a Micro SD Slot and supports up to 64GB MMC and most phones come with non-removable batteries nowadays. I have seen some new Galaxy devices and the New Touchwiz is sort of different in a good way.

If the OP or anyone who cancommunicate with the OP sees this, it would help to add the following.

When asking for suggestions, provide the following.

Country device will be used in

Mobile Network Provider

Price-Range

Any preferences (size, dual-sim, chipset/mfr, etc.

On another note...

Also, anybody can say, "Get the Galaxy S6!", but knowing which phones work in different regions, as well as what (sometimes lesser-known) high-value devices work in certain areas is a valuable knowledge that often takes a good amount of time researching.

After sales service sucks...!!! :'(
[General Questions and Answers] gorilla p:
I would tell anyone looking at new phones to look at the Asus Zenfone2 and Alcatel OneTouch Idol3. The specs on the idol3 are very similar to the OnePlus One, but it has a newer chipset with the 8-core ARMv8 Cortex A53 64-bit Qualcomm 615. The specs are excellent, the sound is excellent, it has some cool features and its only $249. I think Alcatel is selling this device at a very slim margin to gain brand recognition in the high-end market.

[General Questions and Answers] :
Your device section is here.

http://xdaforums.com/grand-prime

You can read up on your device in the general section and ask questions in the Q&A section.

:good:
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
The 615 is a mid-range SOC. It seems to be hampered by the GPU (Adreno 405), as every review I've seen of a phone with this chip says it handles typical tasks and such fine, but suffers when it comes to stuff like more graphically intense games. It's a hell of a phone for $250, to be sure. Slim, yet boasting great battery life. Heck, it even has band 12 for us T-Mobile users in the US. I do hope the phone is successful, as Alcatel doesn't have a very good reputation for quality.

However, the Zenfone 2 is a much better choice. That additional $50 gets you so much. 64GB internal storage, 4GB RAM(!), etc. Even the $200 version seems a better option than the Idol 3, as it has a better processor, GPU, and retains all the other features and specs that the $300 version does. No band 12 though...

But now that the 64gb OnePlus One is available for $300, I still think it's the best budget flagship option out there. The screen is of better quality (color reproduction, brightness, contrast, etc), more premium construction, better processor/GPU, etc. And then there's the custom support. It's basically a Nexus 5.5, so if ROMs, kernels, and quick updates is your priority, I'd hold more faith in the OPO than the Idol 3 or the Zenfone 2. IMO the only real advantage the Zenfone 2 has over the OnePlus One is the microSD slot. I doubt anybody would complain with having "only" 64gb storage, but the 64+64gb the Zenfone offers certainly has its appeal for extra media and whatnot.

I'm just happy that we've come to a point where companies are competing to give us the most phone possible for the least amount of money. Budget phones used to be crap. But after the OnePlus One and the Moto G and E, it's clear that good hardware doesn't and shouldn't cost a fortune. Phones like the G4, S6, Note 4, and even the iPhone 6/6+ are incredible devices, to be sure, but now we have a plethora of choices of competent, potent phones that cost 1/3 or less yet don't have to suffer with slow performance, lag, stutter, crummy pictures, and shoddy build quality.
[General Questions and Answers] gorilla p:
Yeah, I'm holding out to see what Google does with the next Nexus device. Rumors point to a Nexus5 (2015) device from LG, which is who made the N4/N5 that provided a value (cost/quality) that was highly successful. I'm really looking forward to it.

With a custom ROM and kernel, my N4 still has plenty of performance to spare. I'm only using 1/2 of my CPU power (3-cores@1.1GHZ) and underclocked GPU for daily driver use to improve battery life and get no lag with conservative governor

[General Questions and Answers] gorilla p:
Asus isn't new by any means. Phones are somewhat new for them. My guess is that they have a massive amount of devices to keep up with. Also to have devices mailed, accounted for/sorted/scheduled then fixed, packaged and shipped back isn't going to be a quick thing.

They may need to improve their process or increase their number of techs.
[General Questions and Answers] samsulQpathan:
Yeah ur right at some of the points, but here in India we have to take our device to service centres for all kind of help, there is nothing like that they "have to come on address n take it with them",we have to go to there service centre n still they ask for that much time n then also they didn't guarantee about that full service, (i faced that problem with micromax service) for 1 month they keep my phone which was under warranty period, n not even a single thing they have solved in my device in that time... :(
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Yeah, I'm definitely optimistic about this new LG made Nexus 5. The 5.2" screen makes me think they're going with the 1080p they used in the G2, and it'll apparently have a battery that bucks the trend of mediocre Nexus batteries. The Snapdragon 808 is slightly disappointing, but shouldn't be a real issue except for perhaps intense 3D games (hopefully they stick with a 1080p screen, in which case graphics probably won't suffer). The biggest question marks for me are the camera and the button placement. I honestly don't care where the buttons are, but it's still a big unanswered question. I just really hope they don't nerf the camera though., The Nexus line might be "reference" and development devices for Google, but lots of people still buy them as daily drivers, and a mediocre camera on a flagship device these days is inexcusable. Give it the 13 or 16MP laser assisted autofocus camera seen in other (and older) devices. Heck, they even put one in the Stylo, and that's a budget/mid-range device.
[General Questions and Answers] gorilla p:
That sucks. In the U.S., in most cases when a device/part is under warranty (with a reputable manufacturer), we ship the item back and once received, they immediately ship a replacement (usually refurbished, sometimes new). We don't have company I operated service center a here however.

Our population here is also quite widely dispersed and we have a very reliable mail service.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

Yeah a mid-range 13MP camera should not be a problem for them, so hopefully they provide at least a decent camera.

I looked at the 808 specs and they look good. The chip setup looks like it is more sensible and battery friendly than the 8-core setup.

A decent-sized battery shouldn't be hard either. I would love to see a removable battery and SD-card.

I'm hoping for a 5.2-5.5" 1080p screen. I don't want/need a quad-hd screen that's going to drain my battery without providing a noticeable improvement/difference for anyone but videophiles watching 4K movies.

I'm curious if they will go with 2GB or 3GB RAM.

I'm sure we will find out everything soon enough. They will likely release the new device alongside Android-M
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
It's not really the camera hardware that is an issue. It's the software. Google gives the basic software. Until someone makes a good camera app that takes advantage of the hardware then it will seem mediocre no matter how good the camera is. Even Samsung's and HTC camera are mostly software.

As I was too slow to react last time, I'm renewing my search:

I'm searching for a device with:

Under 600€

If possible in any way: Lte
