Hello [MENTION=6011384]Hannah Stern[/MENTION],

Thank you! I'm hoping to be able to contribute more...

My preferences:

- Price range - 300 to 400 Euros, but value for money is more important

- Screen size - Coming from Nexus 4, but won't mind a big phone

- Typical use - Mostly listening to music and talking/messaging. Occasionally taking photos and web browsing

Important things for me:

- Value for money

- Phone that will be good to use for longer time period

- Preferably the latest Android (not a hard requirement)

- Good customer/online support

- Well known brand

Hannah Stern,

In this specific case, [MENTION=6775374]sycohyco[/MENTION] was not attempting to get ahold of any individual user - if you read through his whole post a few times, you will see that he's really making a general recommendation to anyone who reads his post, mainly because he enjoys his phone so much.

Thanks for the detailed response! I have been through the GSMArena webiste and boiled it down to the two options: Xperia Z2 and Nexus 6. I do not really like Samsung Galaxy series though. What makes it difficult for me to decide is a resale value after a couple of years.

hi all, please advise me on some phone options.

my gf is switching from VZW Note 2 to T-Mobile. looking to spend $400 tops on a new/very mint unlocked device.

i have been looking into the following, with my concerns in "( )":

Xperia Z2 (no real issues to speak of?)

ZenFone 2 (bloat, battery, camera)

OPO (sold out, customer service)

LG G2 (old)

LG G3 (battery, expensive)

Moto X 2014 (is this even fully compatible w/ T-Mo network?)

please feel free to recommend anything not on my list. thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] Vaith:
I have a chance to finally buy a Android phone. I have two options: M4 Aqua(new phone) or Z1 Compact(old flagship). Same price for both: 135 USD - 2 year contract in T-Mobile(Poland). I had Z1 as you can see but I sold it fortunately - it was too old and it wasn't good as 2 years ago(lagging etc). Help me choice the best option! Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] gorilla p:
The M4 Aqua looks pretty nice. The new Gen ARMv8, 64-bit Cortex A53, 8-core CPU @1.5GHZ, also 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM, 13MP camera and 5.0" 720p screen. The 1080p is a little nicer, but the 720p will use a bit less battery. Good phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Xperia Z2 is a great phone.

Zenfone 2 will probably be a disappointment when it comes to the screen, compared to the vibrant AMOLED screen of the Note 2. Otherwise, it's a great device for the price.

I just read about the OPO being sold out, but that doesn't mean you can't get one easily elsewhere. Swappa, for example. I love my OnePlus One.

LG G2 might be old, but it's still a great phone, and will be for a good long while - it won't be "obsolete", at least in terms of playing the latest 3D games. The lack of microSD storage and replaceable battery are bigger concerns than the other hardware. The other advantage of this phone is that it's dirt cheap now.

LG G3 might be the best choice. Battery isn't the best, but it's not horrible. Plus you can swap it out if you need to.

The Moto X 2014 has a middling battery, so negative points there. Camera is mediocre as well. Otherwise, it's a great performer. As for your concern with T-Mobile compatibility, it absolutely is. You won't get band 12 though, but then none of the other phones you're looking at do either.

M4 Aqua isn't bad, as long as you get the 16gb version. The 8gb version gives you barely more than 1gb of usable space.
[General Questions and Answers] theboywonder:
thank you! i am between the Z2 and the G3. the Z2 is slightly cheaper and i think my gf prefers the looks of it and the fact that it's "waterproof".

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

Buy Nexus 6 if you dont mind its huge size, lack of FM radio and the limited internal storage.

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

The phone looks OK to me but its performance might be a bit lower than most of the other devices powered by a Snapdragon 400 as most of those devices have a 720p screen, whereas this phone has a Full HD Screen.

Another thing to note is the 2500mAh battery coupled with that 5.5" screen. You'll probably end up with 4-5 hours of usable time with a single charge.

The phone will be a nice choice if your usage is limited to browsing, watching videos, light gaming etc.

Dont sell your old phones. i have a couple of them lying around at my home. I use my old phones as music players or sometimes I use it to download torrents(n seed).

Zenfone 2 is pretty nice.

The bloats can be disabled, camera is good and battery is decent.

[General Questions and Answers] Vaith:
I have only 8GB, not 16GB. Z1 Compact looks better in terms of performance. M4 Aqua won't get latest updates as Z1 Compact. Also this phone doesn't have root.

Yeah, I know it. That's why I want to root it ASAP to debloat it.

In Poland there's only 8GB variant, no chance to get 16GB. But Z1 Compact looks better, why should I go for newe phone(might not get new Android updated like Android M etc - also this phone won't be rooted and won't get any modifications).
[General Questions and Answers] someone0:
I currently am using ATT Note 3 (N900A) and previously own Sprint Note 2(L900). I moved from Sprint to ATT because Sprint network speed is pretty much unusable when not on WiMax or LTE. I did have a deep discount on Sprint and I was willing to gave that up as soon as I got a good deal on ATT discount. So, I'm on ATT now and probably not going to move unless I can get better discount on Verizon or T-Mo. Right now I'm just wondering around and look for potential phone as an upgrade and keep my option open. Moving from Note 2 to Note 3 I realized that Samsung phone w/ ATT logo pretty much just have boot-loader locked. And I doubt this will get better. Even w/ SafeStrap, the option is very limited and that is a main reason why I am keeping my eyes open. And here are my requirements.

1. Bootloader unlock. As an owner of the hardware I want to be able to do what I please w/ it and that include ability to support it myself even after manufacturer decided there is no support after sale. Why can't I have my old phone have up-to-date version of android and use it as a media player? All we have are just bunch of greedy carriers and hardware manufacturers that decided their ability to keep squeezing money out of you is more important than keeping older gears out of landfill. Maybe there should be a law that manufacturer need to open source their products once the product reach end-of-life and consumers no longer able to get support. (OK, rants are over now, I promise)

2. LTE, GSM and freq band that support ATT bands and most nations (basically world phone w/ ATT bands).

3. stylus. Must have integrated stylus. Not a dingy cheapo stylus that you can buy from eBay for $1 or good OEM styles made specifically for the device but nowhere to attach to the device and end up as one more thing to get lost from one day to another.

4. size matter, nothing smaller than the Note 2.

5. decent processor, nothing slower than the Note 3, as fast or slightly slower is ok as I don't use it for anything demanding.

6. I don't mind 7 or maybe even 8 inches tablet, something like nVidia Shield Tablet, as long as it support Voice, SMS and MMS. And I mean Voice not VoIP, meaning I stick a phone sim in it and I can make a call using dialer and not VoIP app. This is important also since I won't be using most wifi other than in my house at night so I'll have to rely heavily on ATT cell, so If I can stay on GSM for voice and not sucking up LTE data for VoIP it is more ideal. I did look into Shield Tablet and apparently there is no workable hack to get full voice and MMS support.

I figure I would ask the wisdom of the crowd rather than waiting for the Note 5 and see how it goes. I do think the SM-N910F and SM-N910C is a viable option as well. But I'm asking here just in case. Since I'm not in a hurry, I may as well wait until Note5 is announce/release and get one of those Note 4 if Note 5 turn out to be a dud.

Thank you in advance for your constructive opinion.

Hi guys, I have ~450€ budget for a new smartphone that should last at least for 1.5-2 years.

Which is the best for my budged? I only use my smartphone to reply email, gaming a bit (about 1h a day), using social and whatsapp. I almost use the front camera. I do care a lot about design and interface.

I need to buy it tomorrow because I'm using an old hauwei ...

Any suggestion?

[General Questions and Answers] rbrenart:
I have an iphone 5 user who is jealous of my nexus 5 software experience and wants to convert. But, the nexus is way too big for her. Most of the small android phones seem to be underpowered though, right now the only thing I can imagine is a Samsung Galaxy Alpha, but I'm a little nervous that it seems like Samsung has already abandoned it so I thought I'd come ask the experts.

I don't want to end up with a heavily skinned phone full of bloatware, so it either needs to be near stock from the get go or one that has a decent development community around it. I see some similar questions in this thread so I'll do some more reading, but let me know what you all think.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
I think comparing a 4.6" screen to a 5.2" screen is silly. Both are plenty powerful and will do whatever you want it to for at least a couple years to come. But do you want something small and pocketable, or do you want something with a big screen for watching videos, playing games, and web browsing? We can't answer that question; only you can.

The Z3 Compact is without a doubt the best small Android phone available. Development, however, is a bit limited (better than the Galaxy Alpha though).

Apart from that, there's the Moto X 2013 and Nexus 4. Yeah, you'd be taking a couple steps backwards, but they're still good devices. The Nexus 4 is almost unmatched when it comes to custom development, the screen resolution holds up, and the CPU/GPU are powerful enough to play any game you can throw at it. The downsides are battery life and storage space. And the camera kinda sucks. As for the Moto X, it's an extremely compact and comfortable phone for its screen size, and I've never read a single complaint about its performance. Interface is practically stock Android, and the few changes they made enhance the experience rather than detracts from it.

I don't own the Moto X 2013, but I desperately want one (I just can't justify the frivolous expenditure). I do own a Nexus 4, and I still love it, despite its age and pitiful storage. I have been cheating on it with my Galaxy S4 though.

Come to think of it, a Galaxy S4 wouldn't be a bad choice either. It's quite compact for its screen size, has a great camera, decent battery (even better if you get a Zerolemon 3000mAh and can live without NFC), and as long as your bootloader is unlocked, there's plenty of ROMs and kernels available.

If small size is the biggest priority though, the Z3 Compact and Moto X 2013 are really the best choices . And don't forget about custom launchers.
[General Questions and Answers] Jkay7:
As Planterz said Sony compact series of Moto, but I'd also suggest to look at the Moto G series. They're rather cheap and have good value as well as custom ROM support (friend of mine had the 2013 and received CM12 nightlies so damn fast..
[General Questions and Answers] diethar:
I finally want to replace my iPhone 4 with an Andoid device, however I am a little overwhelmed by all the different choices out there.

I'm using my phone mostly to check Reddit, Twitter, Youtube, Twitch, my mail and WhatsApp.

I listen to music and podcasts regularily, however only via headphones so good speakers are not important to me.

I like to play some games, mostly nothing graphics intensive though(Tap Titans/Puzzle and Dragons for example).

Occasionally I will take some photos or a video, however I never take selfies so the front camera does not need to be a great resolution.

I would like to spend around 200-300€, however I would be able to go up to 450€ if really necessary.

I do not intend to buy a new phone after this one anytime soon, so it would be nice to have it be decent/usable for the next couple of years without being to weak to run any new apps.
[General Questions and Answers] Jkay7:
Would you describe yourself as a heavy or standard user? How much time do you spend on it per day?

Did you jailbreak your iPhone and you looking for customizability on Android or rather a user for out of the box?

Any favourite OEM (Samsung, Motorola, Sony, ..)?

How big would you the screen to be (less than 5“?)?
[General Questions and Answers] diethar:
I'd say im a more casual user, spending about 1-2 hrs maximum a day on my phone, mostly just during busrides or while waiting for something.

I did jailbreak my iPhone when it had ios4 I think, however after upgrading to ios7 the phone already felt slow so I didn't jailbreak it again.

I don't really care about the OEM, whatever fits best is what I'll take.

To be honest I haven't personally spent much time with big screen phones, however I'd be open to check out any recommendations no matter the size. I'll probably just go into a store with a list of recommendations and then see how they feel in my hand.

How is the LG G Stylo?
[General Questions and Answers] Jkay7:
Sony Xperia Z compact series is pretty neat, I also like the Moto G series, they have nice developments and it's close to vanilla Android (not bloated with many apps that take up resources and space). You may want to have a look at the Moto X too :)

Should you search for nifty features like fingerprint scanner I'd recommend having a look at Samsung, but as for all flagship they won't fit in the 200-300€ range.

What I bought 2 1/2 years ago is the S3 mini, but I wouldn't recommend it, because they didn't give updates to it. Since you're looking for a longer lasting phone I'd stick to flagship or Motorola/Sony as they update fairly well. Outstanding in update frequency is the Google Nexus serious though, as Google itself is making Android and thus they are the first to be updated.
