Micromax Yu Yureka or Moto G (2nd Gen)

I am really confused between these 2 phones. Please tell me which one to buy, i am big time game lover, so please help me. My budget is quite low, so narrowed down the options to these two phone.

Help Me!!!! :confused::fingers-crossed:
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Nexus 4, without a doubt. Bigger screen, better processor, better GPU, double the RAM, and nearly unparalleled development, if you're into that.
[General Questions and Answers] gcretro:
Is it worth buying a Samsung Galaxy S4 now? For use on AT&T. It's available for $379 at B&H.

How bad is the screen cracking issue / design flaw?
[General Questions and Answers] innomi:
The s4 is still a good phone with a relatively good screen in terms of cracking.

You can get a tempered glass screen protector if you want to be safe.

At least it's not as bad an an iphone 6 lol

looking for a new phone

hi, i'm looking for a new phone. my current phone is a sony xperia sp and my phone before that was a samsung galaxy ace. i'm looking for a phone that's quite high end and fast, so i can run apps and games well, and have less freezes/crashes than on my last 2 phones. also i don't really like how phones are getting bigger so please don't suggest big phones e.g. samsung galaxy note 4.

the phones i've found so far are:

sony xperia z3 compact: i really like this phone, it has great specs and it's a compact phone, it's waterproof, it's fast and good for gaming, the cameras good. things i don't like is the positions of the buttons & ports. also i heard the screen cracks easily. only phone i've dropped without a case was my old samsung galaxy ace, that was on concrete from waist height and it survived and that's not a high end phone so i'd want my new phone to be able to survive that too. anyway i really like the sony xperia z3 compact and from looking on youtube at comments it seems a lot of other people do too. another phone i was thinking of which was similar was samsung galaxy alpha but the fact that it's got no micro sd card slot and the battery is a bit small ruined it a bit for me. i'd like to know what you guys think though :).

samsung galaxy s5: i like this phone too, it's quite popular and has a lot of features. i wouldn't want a phone much bigger than this to be honest. anyway i think as an all round phone this pretty much does everything. i just need to think whether it's worth getting this or waiting for the s6.

some phones which aren't out yet that i'm considering:

samsung galaxy s6: it's not out yet but it sounds like it will hopefully be good as they're starting from scratch apparently. i just hope if the rumors are true and if it does have a 5.5 inch screen the bezels are really thin. imo though 5.5 inch screen makes it too similar to note 4, but it still wouldn't surprise me if it does have the 5.5 inch screen cause well, apple has a 5.5 inch screen on their phone and i think i'm right in saying samsung were the ones to start putting really big screens on phones, so they won't want apple having a bigger screen than them on their flagship phone. anyway this will probably be a really good phone i just hope it isn't huge.

htc one m9: it's not out yet but it will probably be good. i would have considered the htc one m8 but i think i'm right in saying the camera on it is only 4mp, which for me is too low. but they should hopefully make it better on the htc one m9. looking on the leaked benchmark result it looks like it will have a 20.7mp camera, which is very good :D. the leaked benchmark result also says it's only got a 5 inch screen, which is good for me :). so hopefully they're accurate leaks.

so those are the devices i'm thinking of getting. if there's any other ones you think i'd like please recommend them to me. otherwise if you gave me your opinion on each one and told me which one you think i should get i'd really appreciate it. thanks so much everyone!!! :)
[General Questions and Answers] TiTAN-O-One:
The new HTC One flagship (Hima if im not mistaken) is gonna be at CES on Jan 5th. I'll say go for that. 13mp front camera and 20.7mp back camera. Pretty high spec-ed too. S805 on a 1080p screen. Tho all this maybe a rumor.

[General Questions and Answers] creme_egg:
S5 mini (£245) or Z1 Compact (£270) or something else?

Considering that I want a new sim free mini phone for £270 or less which:

1. Has a good camera and a good screen

2. Doesn't randomly lag / hang when browsing facebook, chrome, instagram, reddit, whatsapp, youtube

3. Won't break / slow up / feel out dated in a few months

I don't care about touchwhiz, gimmicks (ie fingerprint scanner, heart rate, IR etc.), rooting, not fussed about gaming either.

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] :
[MENTION=6288488]hammy434[/MENTION], I'd go for the HTC One M9 (once it comes out) if I were you.

[MENTION=5755906]I Am Awesome[/MENTION], the Note 4 is definitely the better of those two options.

[MENTION=6279206]creme_egg[/MENTION], for you, I'd say the Z1 Compact. Good phone, nice size, plenty of development.

Hope this helps all of you! :laugh:

Hi,

I'm looking for a T-mobile device that is has good build quality(similar to iPhone 6), lots of development, and not bigger then 5.5" since I have fairly small hands.

I have considered the Chinese phones (Mi4 and H6) but I don't think they support Tmobile LTE.

Also looked at HTC M8 but I don't like the look of that phone.

Considered the Galaxy Alpha but no development going on there.

Currently own the LG G3 but after using the S5 prior, it's hard getting used to the on screen buttons and the non AMOLED display. So I am looking for something that has similar screen to the S5.

Not sure if anything that fits the bill.

Thanks for suggestions.
[General Questions and Answers] Hannah Stern:
...for it's price. It's also the cheapest phone with 4k-Recording :) :)

But it's got no MicroSD-Slot.

In total:

Best Phone: Note 4

Best Waterproof Phone: Z3 and Z3 Compact

But it depends on you, which phone you prefer.

If somebody wants a Phone in this thread, don't forget to call some specs (4k-Recording/Processing Power) if you're a more advanced user...
[General Questions and Answers] brainbone:
If it's for t-mobile, you're probably going to want a device that supports LTE Band 12 (700mhz A). This limits your choices dramatically.

The Galaxy S5, Note 4 and Nexus 6 all support band 12, but are a bit large.

I chose to temporarily go with a cheap Galaxy Avant (crap screen, pitiful 1.5GB ram, very little development support so far -- but was on sale at Best Buy for $99 last week) until the next round of devices come out.
[General Questions and Answers] Nazo:
Guess I'll ask again, but I really really need a more modern phone that's at least equal in performance to my Samsung Galaxy S3 (preferably a little better as I'm starting to have troubles in some games) with a slightly smaller size that works with US Verizon and has official CyanogenMod builds (not unofficial.) My current phone has a width of 71mm and I think I really need something around 67mm or less.

I really really really want the Z3 Compact, but it doesn't seem like it's ever going to get proper official CyanogenMod support that I can see and as far as I can understand it it can never work on Verizon since it doesn't look like it supports CDMA (and with the full sized Z3 they actually made a Verizon specific variant with more limitations.) I might be desperate enough to consider giving up CM support if it's open enough, properly rooted, and has a writable system partition with a reliable recovery, but obviously I can't give up it actually working on my network.

Am I just utterly screwed until the day I can finally be rid of this crappy Verizon service and their stupid limitations and outdated technology? Unfortunately, for now I'm just stuck with them.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Moto X 2013 or HTC One M7. They're not up to spec to today's flagships, but they're better than your GS3, and they have official CM builds.
[General Questions and Answers] leadn:
this is a 2012 topic, so loads of decisions have changed I presume. Currently, I'd go for the ASUS Zenfone 2. Maybe because it's a beast with a 4GB RAM, or maybe it's relatively cheap. (not sure it's up to 300usd)
[General Questions and Answers] briankfree:
Moto X 2014 or LG G3 or Galaxy S5?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
I didn't notice that CM support for that phone was minimal. I do know that many Moto X 2013 owners keep their phones stock and simply root and mod with Xposed. The firmware is very close to stock AOSP, the main additions being the active notifications and the "always listening" Google Now stuff. You seem hell-bent on CyanogenMod, but honestly, I think you need to consider why you think CM is necessary, and also look at what you can do with root and Xposed, because nearly any feature of CM can be ported or mimicked with Xposed modules. Also, you should look at other ROMs that might be available, like LiquidSmooth, SlimRom, Omni, Carbon, Dirty Unicorns, Mahdi, OpenKang, etc. CyanogenMod is the most popular custom ROM and the most well know, but it's not the only game in town. Carbon and Mahdi, for example, are based on CM, but with additions/mods/improvements. I don't know specifically what's available for this phone, but it's something I think you should look into.

The Nexus 7 has a Snapdragon S4 Pro, the M7 has a SD600. Technically, they're part of the same "family", and both have the Adreno 320 GPU, so you're pretty much right in that regard. The 600 came later, so it appears they got better at that processor in terms of QC/binning, and perhaps just decided to market it differently (change the name) accordingly. But yeah, same thing, faster clock speed.

The M8 is a beast internally. Its not terribly wide, but it is rather tall because of the speakers. It seems that you're more concerned how it fits in your hand rather than in your pocket, so the length of the phone might not be an issue for you.

The M8 has a mcroSD card slot.

[General Questions and Answers] vangeodee:
Hi guys! First-off I'd like to say thanks to the XDA community for giving me the chance to improve my android experience with a meager Samsung Galaxy Y. So now here's the thing, I'm thinking of passing down my old SGY and getting a new phone, problem is, I don't know which one to choose! I'm currently debating over the following phones:

LG Optimus 2x (SU660 & P990) || LG Optimus Black || LG Optimus L7 || Samsung Galaxy R and if push comes to shove, Samsung Galaxy S2

"I know they may not sound much, but these are currently the only phones that are within reach."

I'm not to keen on screen size/type so long as it reaches a minimum of 4". People have been complaining about the lack of an ICS/JB Update for the 2x but I'm not too picky with OFW's, since I'll be rooting it and installing custom ROM's. As for Processors, as long as the phone does not or has minimal lag, 1ghz single or dual wont matter. Internal memory is not a problem since all four phones can be expanded via Micro-SD card. Camera wise, I dont mind may it be 8MP or 5MP, 720p or 1080p, so long as it takes High enough quality pictures, I'm fine with both. Battery life? I dont care, I'm used to charging my SGY every night, so it's become a habit; so battery life can also be ruled out as a deciding factor.

So here's the thing, all of the LG phones only have 512mb RAM so that translates to only around 300+ user available RAM, while the GS2 has 800+ user available RAM, does this make a considerable difference on overall performance or is it only good on paper? Also please don't immediately say GS2 since we all know that the GS2 tops all of the other phones that I've mentioned. (The GS2 was posted there for comparison purposes only, I'll only be getting a GS2 if the con's of each phone outweigh it's pro's.)

Please post your reason/s why you chose that particular phone.

If you guys have any good suggestions other than the four I've mentioned, please do post them and post your reason why you think they are better than any of the phones I've mentioned. <- (Please keep suggestions within the price ranges of the following phones, note that a Bnew GS2 costs around US$400 - US$450 where I live, so suggestions should not go over that price range.)

PS: I mainly use my phone for messaging, a bit of calls every now and then (15 hrs or less every month?) and some casual gaming (2-3hrs every day)

thanks in advance!

[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
The answer is xperia p.It is a full featured and stylish phone for cheaper than the s2. It's major problem is the battery,which is like galaxy y/pocket strength. That's it,otherwise very good phone. Other than that,maybe optimus black if you're saving money. Much better than l7.

Go for the Galaxy Nexus. All the stuff you need but no expandable storage over 16GB, but i guess that should be enough.

So here we go:

I am searching a new phone.

Here you see what I want:

+No monster :)

+It has to have much Ram, i think 1gb would be cool, 512mb are to less (that should short the possibilitys a lot...)

+i dont care for gpu, as long as its not less than 1ghz

+Sd card slot

+screen should be at least 4inch im used to from my x10, the bigger the better :D

+should be much rom activity, couse ima player

+it should have.kinda style (i dont like htc while im keen on sonys arc design *___*)

+and finally, the only thing that keeps me from building it myself: price should be reasonable....

I have no problem with compromises but i want ram!

And it should be able to play splinter cell conviction, the best game ever and the only one i was ready to buy in playstore (doesnt work on x10 unfortunately)

galaxy nexus has no sdcard slot,

xperia p is (in my eyes) ugly,

S advance is good but not that much cheaper than s2.

And s2 seems to be the answer to any question :D

I also thought about galaxy note and waiting for sony xperia nexus (nexus pros are definitely software updates, good specs and even good price) also nice: xperia arc (only reason i didnt buy it yet: 512mb ram) or new ones, T or V (Vs great but too premium price at the moment) and Neo L (which is the nonplusultra in style but neither having 1gb ram nor available in germany) and finally huawei honor...

which of these would you recommend me (besides of s2:D)

Thing is I am basically statisfied with my x10(which is btw overused so hardware keeps draining and draining), but my next phone has to statisfy me too and so i am investing time and heartblood to make a reasonable and long holding decision.

Razr i or xperia t? Please help me

After dropping my s2 down the bog I'm now looking to buy a new phone. I've narrowed it down to either the razr i or xperia t (don't like the look of the s3). I know the specs are generally better on the xperia,t but I'm more interested in processor/power performance. Intel claim that their atom processors are generally faster and use less battery as opposed to dual/quad core mobile processors because the hardware is controlled by single core. Is anyone clued up enough on this subject to point me in the right direction? I loved my s2 but even that was sluggish at times, is intel a move in the right direction? Thanks in advance

evo lte or nexus?

[General Questions and Answers] :
[MENTION=773477]Nazo[/MENTION],

Oh, it certainly supports USB host mode - however, I wouldn't get it into host mode if I bought it if I were you because of the countless people who haven't been able to get their M7s out of host mode to charge. :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] Nazo:
What do you mean? There isn't a "USB host mode." This sounds like just a software issue with the stock ROM or something. It should be just as simple as you plug in something via a standard adapter (which I have a ton of) and if the OS doesn't have USB mounting built in, mount it using a third party tool (or manually in a terminal if you're really patient.) You don't switch some sort of "mode" or anything.

Probably a software issue I'd bet is non-existent on CyanogenMod.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Forgive me for correcting you, but there most certainly is a mode which you switch the device into (or it happens automatically). In fact, there are three modes in which the microUSB port can be:

Peripheral, which is the regular mode used for charging and PC mounting;

Host, which is used for hosting and mounting other devices onto the device which is in host mode; and

OTG, which is used for the small amount of On-The-Go specific devices which cannot be hosted in the aforementioned host mode.

Sorry for the confusion. Please feel free to research this topic more if needed.
[General Questions and Answers] Nazo:
What I mean is physically there isn't a "mode." It sounds like it's software incorrectly determining that a device is plugged in when it is not turning off charging for safety's sake. The difference is, a software issue can be corrected if one can track it down and, more importantly, I'm talking about using CyanogenMod which wouldn't even be the same software as the stock (for instance, I don't see a "USB host mode" notification or whatever when I plug in a device on my SGS3 with CM. If it's a proper USB drive or not loose or whatever it just goes ahead and mounts it and says that there is specifically a USB drive plugged in -- not just a generic "host" that could mean a DAC or anything -- and when I'm done I can just tap on that which takes me to the storage menu where I can unmount it before removing to avoid filesystem corruption.) In other words, I'm questioning whether this issue even applies under the circumstances.

[General Questions and Answers] pezza10:
So here is my predicament. So I am looking at a new phone. December last year I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE (i9210) which I was planning to use until new devices get released, specifically with the Snapdragon 810. However, it seems that the device I bought has a few issues. The battery life is appalling, it needs to be charged 2-3 times a day, I have a feeling it is water damaged as it keeps restarting and cannot hold 4G connection after using WiFi and it also has basically no development at all and i really don't like Touchwhiz but I can live with it. Now that over and done with, I really don't know if I can wait until these new devices come out as it won't probably be until April when they will be available in Australia. Now if I can't wait my choices are the LG G3, HTC One M8 and either the Z3 or Z3 Compact. I do love the size of the Z3 Compact but I also love the design and Sense on the M8. The G3 is the best bang for your buck. Now, I could get one of these and when the new devices come out, sell it. But that is my predicament, buy now or wait.
[General Questions and Answers] :
That's a tough decision, but if I were you, I'd try to live with my screwed-up S2 until the new devices are released, and then buy the HTC One M9, for example.

The reason why I'd do this is because if I bought, say, the LG G3 and planned to sell it when whatever the next one in line is released (LG G4?), I probably wouldn't be able to sell it for very much because everybody will be going for the new devices, making my early buying choice an unwise decision.

Hope this helps.
