[Q] Need Help which to buy - General Questions and Answers

Which is BETTER
HTC Touch Pro 2 (OR) Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 ?
X2 has 8.1 MP Camera BUT i heard it has Sluggish interface & crashes a lot !?
HTC Touch Pro 2 looks more stylish ....
WHAT DO YOU THINK?KNOW?

Personally I believe they both have aging hardware and aren't worth buying =\ brand new, used i believe you can get better phones for the price
I had an X1 so meh lol
go with the HTC TP2, more ram + bigger screen = win
megapixels don't matter unless you're actually printing out pictures

+1 for the Touch Pro2.
Wins for the X2 over the TP2
divX support
8MP shooter with LED flash
3.5mm audio jack
Wins for the TP2 over the X2
Performance
Better custom UI
Better keyboard
Larger, more sensitive screen
But as mentioned, it's not worth buying these devices new. Best to get them used. (I actually have a used TP2 up for sale in the market section. You may PM me for more info!)

Really thanx for the advice
which other mobile phone do you advice me to buy?

Welcome to forums
Agree Rhodium is a great device, I have one and it is one of the best hardware devices out there!

REQ : Best Windows mobile with best touch ?

Hi mates
I have omnia and i love winmo but touch sensitivity in omnia not good for me.
i plan to buy a new windows mobile , i cant decide wich one is better .
I know HD2 is the best but I DONT LIKE THE SIZE OF HD2 ITS SOO BIG FOR ME :-( .
I want to buy a windows mobile with :
1.Powerfull cpu,ram
2.Best touch sensivity
3.Best battery life
4.Goooood software support
now wich phone you prefer to me ?
( HD-mini,OMNIA2,OMNIA PRO,..... or others )
or a android phone with this specifications .
Thaaaaanks
Well, after seeing Reviews for the HD-Mini, it's actually a terrible device. Plus, the HVGA Resolution is like a black-sheep... Almost NO Apps work with the Resolution.
If you want a decent phone, with all of the traits you listed above, I'd recommend either a Touch Diamond 2 or a First Edition Touch Diamond.
The specs are almost 100% the same, but the Touch Diamond actually has slightly better performance & battery life than it's successor (Touch Diamond 2).
The same thing can be said about the Touch Pro and the Touch Pro 2.
wich one is best in software support ?
OMNIA2 or DAIMOND2
I'd actually recommend you get a HTC HD2 since you want something thats got a good touchscreen, powerful CPU/Lost of RAM, Good Battery Life & Software Support.
The HD2 has all of that AND has an enormous screen.. and to support this it has a 1GHz Snapdragon processor (CPU), 448mb of RAM and 5 hours of battery life.
My friend actually bought one and i fiddled around with it and i was absolutely blown away by how responsive his touchscreen was.. i think its a capacitive screen relative to what im used to which (Resistive). It also has multitouch capabilities lol.
Maybe a HTC Desire if you are intrested in android (3.7 inch) or an X10 xperia
Stick with HTC devices like the Diamond2 or the Desire depending on your needs.
which one have more app ?
OMNIA2 or DAIMOND2
Honestly, the Diamond 2.

I second that

XPERIA X1 vs touch pro

which one is best to buy on all aspects?
HTC Touch PRO
advantages
G-sensor
Better quality and Design
software
and you forgot : keyboard !
X1 keyboard is a real pain, one of the worse I used on WM.
And there is no wired headset with remote control for Xperia X1
Sascha
how about 3" display and x-panels . do they give any plus point to x1?

none of those are points for xperia... go for touch pro... xperia will just give you a major headache...
any x1 supporter
I've used both of these phones, my preference has to be the Touch Pro. A well setup Touch Pro is a very good device, one of HTC's gems.
Sure the Touch Pro has a couple of bad points but they can be over looked for the price you pay for the device today.
am a big fan of x1 but would also go for touch pro just out of curiosity. plus htc has way more experience with WM then SE. I use X2 now since they changed it for my old x1 and even afther 2 mayor software updates x2 is still (in my opinion) is still not polished anough to be relesed. im abouth a year and a halp time user of x1 and x2 and if i would be buying a phone today would probably go for milestone (motorila : bad point, android: cant realy say bad or good). anyways touch pro is still a good device and its probably little cheaper then x1.
I prefer touch pro too.
some criticism on it:
1. D-pad is awful. can`t use it at all
2. Wi-fi performance - the worses I ever have, but satisfactory.
3. glossy design - always need to clean.
4. missing 3.5 jack.
5. missing USB-host

both phones produced by HTC.
how about this thread
http://forum2.mobile-review.com/showthread.php?t=79564
xperia seems to win there....i m so confused.
i m getting almost same price for both the phones.
Both are good devices, it really is a users personal requirements that will determine the final choice.
You have to highlight what you need from the device & see which one matches your requirements the best.

[Q] UMI X2. Reliable?

I was thinking to buy a UMI X2 as the specs are really great but as its a chinese company I'm afraid it'll not last long. Any suggestions?
99% of the phones are produced in china. umi x2 has great quality like it's predecessor umi x1 that was great too.
there are others with the same mtk quad core chip but umi x2 seams to have better specs and it even has corning gorila glass (unlike iocean x7 for example). so it's very durable. also depending from where you buy you can get 1 year warranty. it works better then "non china" ones.
get it.
price is about 180$ from umi and stores will start to sell around 300$ which is a great profit margin so the price is likely to drop below 250$ in a few weeks/months.
it's also a common phone that will have great support and it can be rooted. imo it only lacks 4G but then it has dual sim where others with similar specs don't have.
antuntu benchmark is about 13k. for comparison galaxy s 3 has 16k. but then umi x2 has a full hd screen.
Dont think much buy,thats all its good,i saw its specs, Really great..
Go buy.....:thumbup:
................................................................................................

I also have the same question on its reliablity ?

They are really efforting to get their base operations up and running in the country and they are transparent about it !!
Well that's bothering me too!!!
specs are the most tempting in the phone, the best part is the pricing too!! best price value for money.
but before buying watt I personally look for is its support, I want the phone rooted!!!
ROM I can cook or port as it has same processor as canvasHD
but rooting and CWM needed, and also the hardware support, service centers also do matter
good to see a thread for this dynamite phone.
where as karbonn titanium s5 has no xda thread LOL

HI,
Did you buy it finally?
I will be interested by your custom rom as you say you can customize

[Q] I cant decide which phone to get next?

Hi! Im due an upgrade on my O2 contract but cant decide which phone to go for, i have an HTC One X at the moment and am considering either a HTC One, a Samsung Galaxy S4, a LG G2 or Iphone 5s. I dont really use my phone AS A PHONE more as a camera, media player, internet/facebook browser etc, so each of the other phones have thier pros and cons when compared to my ONE X,
HTC ONE
Pros: Cons:
faster, camera not as good (imo)
more memory,
better screen,
better speakers.
Samsung Galaxy S4
faster
more memory screen not as good as HTC ONE
better screen speakers not as good as HTC ONE
better camera plasticky build?
microSD card support
LG G2
Speedy cpu (faster than S4 and ONE) bit of an unknown to me?
(Are LG phones any good normally?)
more memory plasticky build
better camera volume and lock buttons are on the back?!
Iphone 5s
nice build screen not as hd or as big as others
faster (64bit cpu) camera not as good as others
more memory unless jailbroken limited customization options
slo-mo video!
Bigger selection of apps (some exclusive to ios?)
lol, basically i want a phone that has the speed of the LG G2 (or possibly the 64bit cpu of the iphone 5s), with the speakers and screen of the HTC ONE, the memory of the Galaxy s4 or HTC ONE with the slo-mo video recording of the Iphone 5s! which would you guys n gals recommend? im not asking y'all to decide for me rather offer opinions to maybe help me decide?
ta in advance!
go for s4, it suites your needs....

[Q] Help me chose a next phone!

hi, my nexus 4 is aging and i need new one ! it has so many problems
also i asked on the sticky thread, i waited long but got no answer !
I have been away from phone stuff for long, so im not good enough to decide myself. Here are what thought of and i can't decide between them:
1.Nexus 6
2.Note 4 sounds intresting but i kinda feel im gonna hate it after buying it. and i had So many bad memories from Samsung!
3.waiting for new Z ultra
4.Waiting for 810 SoC. this way i get 64-bit , not sure if that means i get some new apps or it makes no difference !
this year was so boring, nothing special(in hardware) but buying stuff like g2 makes me mad ! i want new device i didn't try hard to wait a year only to find out i should have done it long ago
but i saw 805 and 810 have some special capabilities ! (in rendering and graphics) also 810 has some stuff like ultrasonic pen and blablabla , so thats what made me want to wait!
here what i do with phone:
1. Root it
2. Play games
3. Watch movies in it
4. Mostly browse web google stuff check xda for news ect
5. I really really really care about screen quality, but anything more than 450ppi is pointless for me!
6. I want a large device ! larger is better
7. My nexus 4 battery is only a little small for me
8. I [Almost] keep it till it dies
9. As long as its really worth it i can pay, but im saving money for future!
10. I don't care about camera at all! I take no pictures !
11. I need OTG!
Can you guys recommend me some phones with my needs? should i wait? or buy nexus 6, or any other device that i didn't mention?
what will the benefits of waiting for 64-bit be? what devices will feature Snap 810?
oh and One M8 has an old SoC (but lower res, so performance is not much different, but i see 805 has some special game rendering capabilities)
Sewrizer said:
If you don't care about the camera, the Nexus 6 is the better choice. It has a great screen and stereo speakers, thus great gaming and movie experience. The battery is quite good as well, especially with the fast charge feature out of the box.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so nexus 6 is my main choice for now
what about waiting for 64-bit snap810?
and btw, can you quote me so i get email? now it sounds like i had answers but didn't get notifications
Edit: I don't care about the camera but i heard its actually pretty great great as note 4 and in the top 10!
If you really want an 810 SoC then I'd say wait until next year. I'm hoping that the Galaxy S6 has it. That is if I decide to wait that long.
some guy in sticky answered me about the 64-bit, for now nexus 6 is still my choice
Sewrizer said:
The camera hardware is good. It is the software that lacks some features phones like the Note 4 have. Nexus 6 is a great device in terms of performance, battery and screen, but the camera is "just" decent. By no means, is it to be considered a bad camera, though.
My "speculation" is that qualcomm will launch snapdragon 810 in the late 2015. 805 can't be replaced this soon. They will probably come up with some minor upgrade such as an 806 (like they did with 801) but that's it until note 5/nexus 7 (or whatever the new nexus phone will be named). This is just the way I see it. Mobile industry is very dynamic and rather hard to predict without some information from the inside.

What problems did you have with your Nexus 4 that led you to needing a new phone? Or do you just want a new phone regardless?

All your list says is that you would like a bigger screen.
I don't understand why you need something special in hardware before a device is worth buying. I mean, what the fcuk do you do with a smartphone...?

Sorry, didn't realise you were about to tell us what you do use your smartphone for...
What games do you play? Do they need [almost] desktop-level cpu and gpu chops or, are we talking Angry Birds level of resource usage?
Depending on the games you play a Note3 would probably be overkill already. No need for special hardware.
In the mean time, the screen size and resolution seems to be the main factors so, your list is probably spot on. I'd just add the Vivo PD1305 as perhaps one to watch depending on how open it is and whether it can attract support from developers.
I consider 64-bit only important from a "future-proofing" perspective. All else is marketing fluff.
In your position, I'd just grab a 7" or larger tablet and restrict my phone to a manageable size (and price). Buying both might even be chaeper than the device you end up buying (as long as needs rather than wants are prioritized to inform your purchase.
510
OnePlus One :angel:
What do you think about OnePlus?

1. I couldn't install few games on it ! it got slow, it has weird screen issues (shade of what i was seeing , thats not in screenshots) and bad antenna and a little low storage and no otg also i would like to get new decent screen
2. Basically , future proofing !
3. As i said, i have been away from world for a long time basically im gonna go and find some amazing graphics new games and play them like mc5 or nova 3 or ect!
4. i never had a tablet not sure how it feels some apps are diffrent i can't call, (i do it only on emergency but what should i do if it happens?! maybe i get a cheap 1$ backup phone or keep the nexus 4 because im not sure i can sell it) + its big, i mean really big, 6inch can fit into pocket but not 7 but i can just carry a bag with myself :| i don't know! + lte ones are expensive
i don't know about vivo, its not a popular brand!(that doesn't mean its bad, i just have to google about it ) + can't be found on my country
and about oneplus one, its an amazing phone other than weird problems i heard it has on net ! (which i guess is fixed) but sadly, that awesome phone can't be found here its like everything i need, specially designed for me )
i could even end up not finding nexus 6 either, than i would think about waiting for something like z ultra or get htc one m8 or note 4!(wait till it gets cheap or something)
its awesome, but can't find it here
btw HerpingAndDerping , what do you mean by 510 at first?
my nexus 4 isn't fixable ?! let me install lolipop on it
omg, this is the best thing ever ! but sadly usb thether won't work so im back on kitkat till ota releases !
It depends how much money you are willing to give, the place where you live and specs.
The Note 4 or 3 are pretty good, the LG G3 is also good, especially with a bit of tweaking, Nexus 6 is also the prime rival of the Note 4 but its unavailable in alot of places and it might take months for it to appear in places.
The oppo devices are also good, Find 7 and 1+1 notably.
They are all pretty future proof, even a phone from last year is also future proof, because the Snapdragon 800 series SoC is so powerful, it can probably play any game there is out there for mobile.
If money is no issue, go for the Note 4
If money+time is no issue, Nexus 6
If you want good price/performance ratio, go for Oppo devices or LG devices or anything from 2013. The LG G3, at least where I live, is quite cheap compared to its rivals.
Notable mentions, Huawei Ascend series, Sansung Neo series, Acer Liquid series, Lenovo K series, Sony Z ultra. All of them are pretty big and cheap and have good price/performance ratio.
Good luck!

lg g3 gets hot and brings brightness down, it has some other problems as i remember, its battery life isn't good
btw, Oppo devices can't be found here either, only well-known brands ! but even moto phones are barely available, let me see if i can do anything
if not, (if im gonna get 801) i will get htc one m8 ! or even maybe the lg g3 , or even note 4, so , right now all i can do is to wait !
z ultra is amazing ! but only if it was 2k ... (at that size , pixels are huge, but for anything less than 6~ inch its overkill, in my opinion , its even bad ! because it slow downs device and drains battery !)
if i get non nexus i have to wait long for lolipop, and also, i want amoled phone for new lolipop features
what is the tweaking are you talking about?!

let me read some LG g3 reviews But i really like one m8, but its a little expensive. But i always had amazing memories from HTC phones except the late updates (let me see if there are custom roms for it, or see if i can turn it into GPA). Also G3 doesn't seem so bad, expect the heat and battery :| (and maybe performance?)
