[General Questions and Answers] KylarStern:
Ill just copy my post for another place here.

So im picking up a new phone this month, and my budget is around 200-230 euros. I've been browsing the phones the last couple of days, and only a few seem optimal, but I have a trouble picking one of them.

Lg g2 mini

Huawei Ascend p6

Sony Xperia ZR

HTC Desire 616

If I missed a great phone for this price, let me know. I was pretty much sold on the g2 mini but then I came across the others and I just can't decide. I love the features on the g2 mini(guest mode, knock code, double tap, video pausing when you look away), but the screen is not 720p. I love that the ascend p6 is so slim, has a great screen and a good processor, but I hate that earphone jack with the little pin, that's just annoying. The Xperia ZR is just all around great and the Desire 616 has an octacore and its 5 inches.

What I'm looking for in a phone is: good performance, I guess I'll be doing some medium gaming on it. It has to look reasonably good and feel good in the hand. Good screen and just general good quality( I dont want it to start misbehaving after a year). The camera is not that important as I rarely take photos.

Really any help would be appreciated, I just need someone to talk to about all the choices, and to hear some arguments for every phone so I can decide.

Thanks

a bit confused here

Hey guys

this is my first time posting here on xda but i have been a fan for a while and you guys really rock.

so iam about to buy a new smart phone and i have a limited budget , i did some research and ended up having a choice between the sony xperia v and the Alcatel One Touch Idol X and they are both pretty cool phones and are in the same price range and their specs are great and pretty close.

i have been a fan of the sony xperia line for a while now and my heart really sways towards the V but the idol x has almost the same specs and is better in some cases and has a bigger 5.0 inch screen compared to that of the V's 4.3 inch screen , sure water resistance is a cool feature but i dont want to make the wrong choice here especially because the idol x has a quad core processor while the V has a dual core one.

so if you guys can help me choose and also tell me if the quad vs dual thing will affect gaming so much? , and also if the quality of the phones them selves (you know fabrics , cameras , screens , battery and such) will make a difference in future use. that would be great.

thanx in advanced.

[General Questions and Answers] NiTrOwow:
So here is my story i posted up on the forums,

I really have no idea.

I have a HTC Sensation but it keeps crashing all the time it isn't fixed yet even after all those updates even after a repair.

HTC Support is also terrible. They even made a scratch on my phone i claimed that and they said we look intro it and call or mail you back. NEVER got anything back. This is my 3th phone from HTC

Got a HTC One S yesterday and a friend of mine has the same device he only had problem problems and more problems with it (Home button bug, screen tripping/flashing etc)

The dumb guy told that to me when i finnaly posted on facebook that i had a new phone and that i was hopefully happy to be released from all those crashes and problems.

But guess what, he tells me this story. And i didn't know he had THAT same device, dammit.

So i am about to get rid of HTC because it just a peace of crap. Nobody wants a phone thats full of problems like this, and then such a good support.

The only thing they did with my phone (HTC Sensation) in those 2 weeks of repairing and sh$t was just resetting it back to factory defaults.

The problem wasn't even solved and they claimed to have tested the phone fully and that it was solved.

THIS SAME THING HAPPANED TO SAMSUNG ON INTERNSHIP TOO!

That means NO HTC or SAMSUNG for me.

I am not up for UTTERCRAP anymore, all phones i all so far all where crap crap and crap.

They where slow or really unstable, or just low quality.

What do you guys suggest me to get?

LG? Sony? I don't know, but i am not a fan of LG it sucked the last time i had something of that brand.

TOPLINE:

Don't want Samsung and HTC what else can i get that is better in performance/specs then the HTC Sensation.

My budget is 450 euro max
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
LG Optimus 4X HD. The only known bug with it is the autofocus on the camera. Goes wild once in a while if you abuse it. I've bought LG phones for many of my friends,and I can tell you, just put an SD card with android folders already in it (android secure,lost dir,android) before you boot first time,and you'll never have problems.

[General Questions and Answers] Drag0nflamez:
I want to buy a new phone, because my subscription on my HTC Wildfire is about to expire... It has to run Android, and has to have a decent price... (so not very expensive ones). Preferably something that can be rooted and has good custom roms available for it. Design doesn't matter, so it's allowed to be a bit more fat. I was thinking in the direction of the Desire C, which feels marketed around the Wildfire's level, but might be a bit of a downgrade for me.
[General Questions and Answers] Pumå:
Fits the Google "Samsung" Galaxy Nexus under "decent price" for you? You said you want something which has good custom roms, well the Nexus phones are the best on this, because they get like everything first (most easy to root, ROM etc)

And if I'm not wrong, the Nexus phones also have the most ROMs available. Also compared to the hardware power of your old phone the HTC Wildfire, the Galaxy Nexus will feel in comparison like the Hulk on ultimate rage

[General Questions and Answers] illuzian:
From what I've gathered I need to contribute a little before getting one. I've joined the forum but really don't have anything to contribute there nor the time to really invest. I'd love to get one but even then it only seems marginally better than the Note 3 specs wise except for the fact it's bloat free and has a 64gb version which I'd be smitten with.

I've considered a few phones but I'm leaning towards waiting as nothing seems to really of made any leaps in the near 1 year period that I've had the Note 3 for.

I really want to get away from Samsung though as a detest a lot of the things they force on me. Knox I can sort of understand but even then, warranties should not be voided for manufacturing defects.
[General Questions and Answers] innomi:
I agree with you there.

But about your first bit.

Hardware is better. It seems a little bit on paper but the combination with the special made CyanogenMod gets the max out of the phone. Don't know if you like antutu? (some people don't care about benchmarks) but the new antutu (in wich you can't cheat like Samsung does) the one is about 13% higher than the note. And I am not even talking about the battery with gives me 7-8 hours on screen time. I last about 3 days on 1 charge on moderate/heavy use.

BTW about contributing. Not so important. They give invites according to join date on the forum. Just check your forum number and see where they are with the invites.

Any other phone without bloatware atm is nexus 5 but that isn't comparible. Hell the nexus 6 isn't even. Since nexus line always had bad battery and has to cut corners to be cheaper.

Thanks, that's good info! Considering the price if I get hold of an invite soon enough I might as well get one. I'd love a GED device like the Nexus but the lack of SD expansion and cutting out features makes it a no go. And Google Play Editions lack the LTE bands used in Australia :(

[General Questions and Answers] Rawb0Ss:
8-10" tablet for $150-200 w/16gb, microsd, 4.4 (stock or rom)

I already posted this message on a forum post asking about getting root for the Asus ME181C. Since I have not purchased it yet, I am still open for ideas or suggestions for other tablets that I may be overlooking.

I am in the process of receiving a $150 card to walmart/sams club from my sero 7 pro warranty. I been checking out tablets around $150-200 range for the last few days. So far I seem to have narrowed it down to the ME181C ($179) or the older ME180A ($199). I dont care about the Nexus without a SD card slot, no hdmi is not a deal breaker for me but would be nice to have it, and would like to upgrade to the 8" or larger screen. I hear good things on the specs of the Dell Venue's, but I see a lot of bad reviews on multiple sites as well, and honestly I can't stand Dell. Since I am limited to use the gift card at Walmart/Sams, my options are limited.

Since the specs of the 2 Asus Memo pads tablets are similar, I figured I would go with the newer ME181C and save $20 while doing so. I know its a fresh tablet, but I have yet to find a forum where someone had a successful root on this model. Root is a must have when I use a tablet. I am somewhat worried to pull the trigger on this model, or is it just a matter of time before there is a root method available?

I see the ME180A can be rooted, so that is a plus for that model, but doesnt seem to be updated anymore? and no rom/developer activity that I can find. I am curious why the older model with similar specs cost $20 more. Now skimming through the Walmart/Sams tablets, I see a few other possible options: Acer Iconia A1-830, HP 8 1401US, and then Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and 4 variants. Any other tablets I am over looking from these stores? I do not want to get one that has a specific chipset that makes it hard or impossible to root or modify, then of course get the best bang for my buck. Please any feedback or info would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

[General Questions and Answers] Zaslam408:
Hey guys,

I am about to upgrade my phone from an s3 and am having to choose between the m8, z2 and g3.

I want a phone that will give me a long lasting experience (won't start lagging in a 6 months), good battery life (6-7 hours screen time on one charge, if possible), decent camera, and good audio through headphones. I don't mind putting on a battery case in the future if I need to but would rather avoid it.

To me the m8 is the most attractive phone out of the bunch but its specs are a little behind, relatively. Also, I am not so sure about its battery life and, due to its shape, a battery case would make it less attractive than a z2 with battery case. The biggest plus for the m8 is the feeling that the phone will continue to perform optimally for a good while after the purchase date. Should I go with my gut feeling?

The z2 is a powerhouse of specs. However, the user reviews just don't seem to be on par with the m8. I have read issues with lag and heating. On paper, it seems like an easy pick. Is the reality different?

The g3 is blowing people away but I have read that the screen is a battery drainer. That is still bearable but the occurrence of heating issues is the scary part. I am afraid of getting a phone that is amazing for the first month or two but can't last. Is the praise simply hype that will die out soon or is it a sturdy phone?

What do you guys suggest?

Your objective suggestions would be much appreciated. I plan to make the decision by tomorrow.
[General Questions and Answers] innomi:
If you really wanna choose between only those 3? Then the m8 is your best bet.

It gets the highest ranking on ANTUTU 4 of those 3 fones.

But if you want an ever better phone than those 3? Get the OnePlus one!

This is exactly why I bought an M8 after cracking my Nexus 5 screen. I called LG and they were asking for 250$ to fix it so I decided to buy a new phone instead. Now even if I crack the screen I don't need to worry since HTC has got me covered.
[General Questions and Answers] Kevin108:
I'd like a 7" HD tablet in the $150 range. Quad core performance would be nice, but dual core is fine.

It has to be rootable. It would be great if it was an active Cyanogenmod platform as well, but that's not a requirement.

I currently have an ASUS Memo Pad 7 but when I purchased it, I was unaware of the difference between the processors and how that factored into it being rootable. I may simply return it and order the previous model without the Intel processor but I thought I'd ask for other suggestions first.
[General Questions and Answers] amrahaniss:
for me the " ASUS MemoPAD 7 HD " is a good option

here are its specs:

7" HD screen ith a resolution of 1280 x 800 p

and a quadcore 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 processor with 1 GB of ram and 16GB of rom

otherwise the best solution is still the NEXUS 7 by buying it you're sure of getting updates and the last android on market !

Xperia ZR or Note 3 Neo ?

It will be my first android device. Had been using Symbians and iPhones since ages.

When I was looking around, found Xperia line to be disgusting when I heard the reviews from my friends who are facing problems to get their batteries replaced. Sony center is asking for about 15000 rupees (half the phone's MRP).

Anyway, what do you guys suggest between Xperia ZR (available for very cheap 17k and a removable battery) v/s Note 3 Neo (about 27k) ?

My usage are centered on Web Browsing (3G) and Emails for 95% of times, rest 5% is texting, calls etc. No games, no movies/videos, etc. Have iPads for those.

Or some other device in the similar price range, you would like to recommend? (Not finding it worth to spend 35k+ for an android phone).

Any suggestion will be a great help !!

Xperia zr or original galaxy note 3

First of all, most phones today (except Samsung) don't offer a user-replaceable battery. Anyway, xperia phones are on the top, along with Samsung and HTC, so don't worry about performance and such. As for the device you have in mind, I'd recommend you the xperia zr over the galaxy note 3 neo, because it has a sharper display (323 ppi instead of 267 that the galaxy note 3 neo has, so it'll be easier for you to read stuff such as e-mails). Also, the xperia zr has a 13,1 mp camera, while the note 3 neo has 8, and it has water and dust resistance, in case of an accident. Alternatevely, you can go for the original galaxy note 3, if you can afford it. It's better from both phones that you've in mind. Hope this will clear up your mind...
