Advice about phone (clone)

Hi!

I have been checking some videos on internet of unboxing of clones of iPhone and Samsung phones since I was interested in buying some replica of a phone (either a samsung or apple)

I find this videos helpful but since I'm a beginner I can't be sure what to choose, there are several that looks the same but they have so different prices.

I wanted to ask you if you could kindly advice me, given your experience with these phones.

Do you think you could help me? Which one would you advice me to buy (price/quality)

thank you very much!

best regards

Hi all

I'm in a little bit of pickle and I don't no what to buy really.

Currently I have a nexus 4 as my main and regular phone, no problems its probs the best phone I've ever had.

I've just sold my Samsung s3 mini which I used during the day at work, it was nice and easy to handle in a rush.

I only have a fixed budget of £150 nothing over and has to have a 4 - 4.2inch screen nothing bigger, due coz when I am at work, I need to be able to handle it easily in one hand which nexus 4 is not really practical in doing.

I'm after a decent phone in spec wise and hopefully great community support, i love my nexus 4 coz of the customs roms available for it.

any suggestions or ideas will be much appreciated

Thank You

Cheap pentaband phone, only 3G no LTE, no extra stuff.

Hi Guys, I own the Sony Xperia ZL, great phone but I just crashed the screen and I will send it today to repair, it will be back in 15 days maybe more... I wanted to buy a cheaper phone to use as a spare phone in case of need. What would you suggest? I d like to buy a PENTABAND phone that gets 3G in USA with Tmobile (on the 1700 Mhz freq) and 3G 900Mhz in Italy (the same reason why I bought Xperia ZL). I am Italian now in USA for a 2 year job. Please dont mention phones that work on refarmed 1900/2100, I bought one but it was horrible, it only got the signal every now and then. I need only 3G no LTE. I do basic browsing and google maps searches, basically I d like to be able to go be online at a 3G speed. That s it. The cheaper the better. I dont care if it looks bad.

Sliding keyboard phone ?

I have SE Xperia MK16i and I am very happy with this phone. It's greatest advantage is sliding keyboard.

Im going to change it for new phone. Does anyone know is there successor of MK16i ?

If not, what would you recommend for new android phone with sliding keyboard ?
[General Questions and Answers] K3n H1mur4:
Unfortunately, sliding QWERTY lovers have very few options these days. No fancy 720p or 1080p screens, no quad-cores or 2GB of RAM or anything like that. The only options that deserve mention are Motorola's Photon Q and Droid 4, and the LG Enact. The latter is the latest one, released last august, it combines a dual-core Snapdragon 400 and a Gig of RAM with a FWVGA display of 4". It's CDMA-only, so, if you're not on Verizon or other CDMA networks (or willing to change to one), stay away from it. The Droid 4 is a considerably old device (released in early 2012), with a not-so-good-nowadays dual-core OMAP4 CPU, a Gig of RAM and a pretty decent qHD 4" screen. Though it is, as any device in the Droid line, exclusive for Verizon, GSMArena lists it as also compatible with GSM networks, so it may be worth a look. Last, but not least, Photon Q has a dual-core Snapdragon S4, a Gig of RAM and a 4.3" qHD screen. Listed as "made for sprint" but compatible with GSM networks, according to GSMArena.

So, unless you're willing to get even older devices, you'll have these as options. There's also Pantech Marauder, but I don't think this manufacturer is trustworthy enough to recommend such device.

Take a look in Motorola Defy's frequencies. It's hardware is severely outdated nowadays, but it has very decent community support and, depending on where the phone was made, the frequencies may be what you need. It can be found new for ~150 bucks on eBay.
[General Questions and Answers] venexiano:
Thanks that could have been a good deal but it does not have all the frequencies I need...

I narrowed down to 2 options Huawei Ascend Y 300 and XOLO A500S. Not so keen on Samsung Galaxy S Duos.

Primary specs required were camera quality and battery backup.

Which one of these is better or any other phones better in the above budget ?

Hey guys, long time S1 user, been almost 3 years.

I'm looking into buying the HTC One, i find it superior to the S4 in terms of overall feel and quality + no difference performance wise. However i'm struggling with 2 things:

Is it worth buying now or should i wait for something like Nexus 5 or LG G2? Not really a fan of either but the 3000mAh battery does stand out

If i do decide on the HTC One should i go for either black or silver? - I absolutely love the black one but due to the wear and tear that i keep hearing of i am leaning towards the silver one

That's fine by me considering the prices, I'm basically looking for a general consensus. Which tablet in your opinion would you consider to be the "best android tablet"?

Big touch screen, great video quality and viewability, netflix, SD Card Reader, forward and rear facing cameras, USB 2.0 & Bluetooth are must haves.

Asus Transformer Tablet 32 gig mem.

&

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 with 16 gig mem.

Up until today I was 100% sure what i was going to buy: The Samsung Galaxy S Advance.

But a stiff competitor is out today: The HTC Desire X

Now this is really confusing.

You can see them detailed compared here: GSMArena

Now please advice on these 2 factors,

> Is the Snapdragon Dual Core >= or <= Novathor Dual core?

> How does the Adreno 203 stand up against the Mali 400?

> Super LCD vs Super AMOLED?

Apart from these as you can see, X has a better battery & much better style, while S Advance has a secondary camera and better video recording.

Please reply soon, as i will buy one of these by the end of October.

[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
I've used the N4 and the S3 only.

Frankly S3 is a crap mess. It still runs 4.1.2 and lags like hell. So unless it gets 4.3 or 4.4 or whatever it is a phone inferior to even my S2.

To give you an example when you receive a call the phone displays the number for 2 seconds and then the contact name and details show up.

As for the N4. Ny friend has one and I tried its camera and a few games. Hassle free lagfree. Great quality. Not sure about earpiece quality. But he has never complained.

If the N4 seems wary, try the Xperia ZR. Same pricing same specs + water/dustproof and expandable memory.

You could take a look at the Pipo M6 Pro 3G

I think for the price point it is quite perfect for reading/surfing/etc because of the high resolution and durable battery.

It is not the best for "high end gaming", though, because mail-400 is a little weak in handling 3D games at such a high resoultion.

built quaility is decent and it is available in white as well as black.

no need for modding or flashing as the stock rom does what it is supposed to and comes with only few bloatapps (which can be uninstalled).

Greetings, new to the forum here;

I'm nearing the end of my 2 year Verizon contract. I've been using a HTC Rezound which I was able to root and unlock and eventually go S-off. I really like being able to use debloated roms, etc.

Is the S3 easier to unlock?

Are S4's from other providers (T-Mobile, etc) easier to unlock?

If no, what is a good phone with decent specs and removable battery that is more hackable?

Thanks for any suggestions,
