I'd say the N4.

If you go for the ZL, be prepared to expect that 4.4 might be the last update it gets.

If you don't mind the limited storage, go for the N4.

So it's basically updates vs storage. Choose as per your priority. The N4 does lack some megapixels but I really don't think the difference is huge.

Which country?

Kazam is in this price, but it's a weak phone. There's also Goclever quantum 4 in Poland for about 60£ (licensed Chinese phone, maybe someone know what's the name in other countries). It has got 480x800 4 inch screen, dual core 1.2 GHz processor, adreno 203 and 512 mb ram. Every game will work, but I can't say every game would work smooth. Price isn't from space - there's only 2 mp rear camera and 0.3 mp front.

So I currently have a Motorola RAZR M and I really like it, but there's just one problem. About a week after getting the phone, I saw that the LED was blinking green and the screen wouldn't turn on. I did a hard reset and it booted back up. Since, this problem has reoccurred much more frequent, almost every night. I've never had it lock up while in use (during the day), but when I get up and take it off the charger, there's a chance I'll find it in the locked up state. I've long voided the warranty and thought a custom recovery and ROM may eliminate this problem, but it hasn't :/

Thus I've decided it's the phone and I need a replacement. I've done a lot of independent research and narrowed it down to to either the Moto X or the Nexus 5. I really like the Moto X for the Active display notifications, touch less control, MotoMaker customization (I'm thinking bamboo back), and the Motorola Skip. The Nexus 5 though has a higher resolution screen, "pure" Android KitKat, and is much cheaper. This is where I'm having my dilemma. I'd like to have a phone without a contract and the ability to use Verizon CDMA and GSM (mainly AT&T) but if GMS is the only option, so be it. The reason I'd like Verszon is it's a bit better than AT&T in my area, but both have a good amount of coverage where I go. Any input would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Is there any table able to handle NBlu Ray M2TS streams through third party software.

Hi guys,

My first post here. Just hope this will not be redundant with any other (I had a look using search engine but I may have missed...).

This is a question I have for a long time now. And I have not been able to find any compliant device so far.

With the tech to evolve and the coming or already existing in tabs does anybody knows if there is a tab that is able to handle Blu Ray iso (means native .M2TS blu ray streams)?

This question is because : I'm now a bit tired of spending (a lot of) time converting my BD to smaller files because it is both really, really, really time consuming (already said that...) and I need free space to store the converted files. Actually, I use to use a NAS to play my BD isos on a WD Live, a PCH400 or an Oppo 93 streamer (that's why I rip all my Blu Rays to iso).

Thinking a "cheap" player like Roku, WD Live or, even, Google Cast can play such files without any lag or so, I still wonder why I does not seems to be able to find a Tab that can manage to do the same thing,..., even the most expensive ones.

The only tab I found to be nearly able to do that so far is my TF700T when its on a good mood. But as you know TF700T suffers from some bad components/programming leading to frequent freeze or lags till... you fully reinstall the Stock ROM (Yes I'm on the stock ROM due to warranty limitations - 2 years in Europe). BTW I'm down to 4.1 because 4.2 was misery to my TF700T.

Thanks to all and have I nice day...

Lenovo S750 / ZOPO ZP998 C2 II

Hello.

I always was interested in dual sim Android phones.

For now, I'm using a Lenovo S750 Dual Sim, Waterproof (IP67, kind of Military Grade protection).

Since December, andrea_d86 has released a MultiLanguage ROM version for this (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2538724).

Note: with WiFi and 3G data off (only if needed), I have an uptime of 4-5 DAYS on a single battery charge.

Now, I'm thinking about new ZOPO ZP998 C2 II, with 8 Core processor, IPS-LCD 5.5" screen and FullHD resolution (1080×1920).

I'm still waiting for a ROM release for it :)

You can Google about both phones.

Chinese Phones

Hello!

I'm looking to delve in to the Chinese phone market and would like some help about things.

First off would be a reliable site to buy from? I've been looking on a website called BangGood and it seems reliable but you can never be too sure about these things.

Second would be what brands would be to avoid as in poor quality and likely to break.

Lastly would be your opinions on phones around the £100-£125 range. I've been looking at a Ascend P6 knock off called the Haipai P6S and the Timmy E82 but I would love to know if there are any more feature packed, better looking and more powerful handsets around.

I am coming to the end of my contract here in a week and I have done a ton of research and narrowed it down to the Moto Droid Maxx and the Note 3. I'm torn as to which to get. These are the pros and cons I've come up with.

Note 3

PRO: Screen, raw power, removable battery/expandable storage

CON: Overwhelming features and size

Droid Maxx

PRO: Massive battery, slimmer skin presence, faster updates, active display

CON: Closed body design, worried about it not lasting the lifetime of my contract

[General Questions and Answers] Konno_Yuuki:
I don't want to say which is best as that's a bit opinionated, but I can list a few things about each phone that may help.

Note 3:

S-pen is very nice, but may not be important to you.

Screen is 5.7' with 1080p resolution (386 ppi)

13MP camera

Has Samsung's TouchWiz "skin" + bloatware, so updates will be slower

Expandable memory with SD card slot

Back of the phone is made to look like leather with stitching near the edge (I personally don't like that)

3GB RAM

Droid Maxx:

Touchless controls & Active display

Screen is 5.0' with 720 resolution (294 ppi)

10MP camera

Has some Droid theming, but as Motorola is a Google company, so updates are fairly fast via OTA

Kevlar backing and I've read the build quality is the best between the other 'new' Droid lineup.

2GB RAM

These are just a few thing. Hope this helps (^^)

Looking for a small device, maybe about the size and weight of the current iPod Nano, that runs full android (preferably ICS or higher). Want to use at the gym for tracking exercise statistics.

Bonuses would be:

Clip on the back (similar to the old iPod Nano -- not an essential as I'm sure I could find a suitable alternative).

The closest I've been able to find is the MotoACTV smart watch. It can be taken out of the 'watch' enclosure and put in to a small belt clip which makes it perfect for when working out.

[General Questions and Answers] thatdude02:
There are a few options I can think of for you. First would be the Nexus 4. It's plenty fast but battery life is a little lackluster and it doesn't have LTE so data speeds aren't the fastest. Not a bad device for the price however.

I'm not too sure how expensive the Moto X is for you, but it's a great option if you are looking at something like the Nexus 4 with a few other features like Active Display and Touchless Control. I went from the Nexus 4 to Moto X and don't see myself going back.

S3 is still an amazing device too, so it just depends what catches your eye in your price range. Best of luck for you!

Hi guys, I'm originally from Ireland but have recently moved to the US.

I don't want to carry around 2 phones with me everywhere, so I'm looking to get rid of my old phone (HTC One X) and replace with a dual sim option. I have bought a Tmobile 'pay as you go' sim, so my choice will obviously need to work with that

I've been trying to navigate the minefield of Chinese android phones out there. I've heard some of them are great; the fact that they're comparatively cheap is an added bonus.

I was looking at Quad core options @ 1.5GHZ plus, but I notice that some manufacturers are beginning to release octo core phones.

Would anyone have any suggestions on any makes/models? I've read about the newly released Zopo ZP998 (8 core)

I've also heard good things about the quad core NEO N003 - there are so many other options though, it's hard to know where to begin.
