Hi everyone..
Been with smartphones pretty long and lasty Im using Galaxy S2.
For several reasons I want to change it or possibly upgrade. First is My eye has an issue followed up that my tears do not generate fast to refresh the eyes, so i gotta leave my work on pc for long , and for that alternatives are mobile for internet etc. and 2ndly im a big tired of the galaxy series for deisgn and everything else.
What I need it to be uses is:
Cool Music Support, since im a pro musician
Internet support
Often camera usage
Few vdo
Few gaming
and good speed
modding aspects
Moderate battery probable is full 1 day.
I was checking on the recent phones, I was always with ericsson before...and I found:
xperia s,Acro S,Xperia SL and the new upcoming T, also the ION.
ION and Xperia SL seems to be very low moding aspects?
Also the HTC one x and x+ but they seem to have battery issues?
And The Lg optimus 4x hd
I was also taking a look for tabs, specially the samsung tab 2 both 7 and 10 inches, but the processors seem to be a low ?
My budget is about 550 usd...
Please give me your valauable suggestions in general i have been chking all of them about 1 month gotta decide and get one by tomorrow.
Thanks all!

What is everyone's opinion on the best $100 (+/- $20) Android phone. Can be New or Used. Factor in best hardware, dev support, etc... I need a phone for my 11 yr old daughter and can only seem to come up with the Pantech Burst @ $120 new. Thoughts?
Just bought an Xperia x10 for my girlfriend off ebay for 125.00 US. Its great so far however the software update (2.3.3) has caused the camera to stop working. I installed feralab v27 fire which has fixed that. However, I now get a wifi error.
I also saw the Xperia x10 mini pro on ebay for about 90.00 US.

The burst is far better than those two...
Tbh, the Pantech Burst in terms of specs are probably the best you can get at that price. Its a dual core Snapdragon S4 with a gig of RAM

Best $200 Android phone
I would absolutely prefer a Nokia WP device, they are beautiful and have lots of nice software extras, but I would take any android device. 6 of the top 9 best rated phones on Moonar store are android smartphone. For this zopo c2 mtk6589 It's quad core mobile phone android 4.2 RAM 1GB ROM 32GB 5.0 inch FHD screen. Especially like this 13.0MP camera and up to 4096×3072 pixels resolution.
Well, I'm pretty happy with my ZTE v970 with custom JB ROM (Bruno), but for an 11 yo girl a well known brand with everything working out of the box is obviously a better choice. I'd probably go to a store with her, see what's available at the price range and let her choose what she likes best... looks probably count more for her than hardware
just please, dont buy a china copy of original phone, like clone of s4 or s3... it is really bad phones

Hello all,
As my old Xperia X8 curently rests in peace I have the chance to buy a new smartphone device. The thing is that as a college freshman my budget is as low as it gets, so the purpose of this post is that you guys, the elite of the net when it comes to smartphones, could help me choose wisely.
My goal is to find a smartphone that I can find here in my homeland (Greece to be particular) or could order from abroad, that wouldn't cost more that 130-145 € (shipping included or low enough if possible).
What I'm looking for mainly is a fast processor with good ram capacity that whouldn't let me down at multitasking, web browsing, app executing etc.To be percise, what I'm looking for is the best and fastest processor/ram combination I can find within that budget.
From there on, my preferences focus on the camera,wifi capabilities (speed and range), screen size and looks/styling with that particular order.
My manufactor preferences are Samsung and Sony of course. But if any other mobile manufactor has what I'm looking for I would be glad to take a look.
I myself have made a small research on possible devices I could buy. Unfortunately I am not a phone specialist.I'm far from it, (although I would like to get there one day hopefully) so these are some devices I came up with during a quick search at a greek online store:
http://www.skroutz.gr/c/40/kinhta-t....html?order_dir=asc&price_max=150&price_min=0
If you cannot open the link for some reason, or if you just don't wanna, the devices are:
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2
Sony Xperia M
Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 (S7582)
Samsung Galaxy Core I8260
Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus 3G
All of the above are within my budget.I lean towards xperia m because from reviews i found online it seems to have the best cpu performance from those 5, it's the only xperia sooo and because I never owned a samsung before so i don't know how it would feel yet.
So please guys if you can, suggest me the best option from these 5 or a better one that you can come up with that follows those requirements I listed above.Your help is really important to me and I would be really greatful to you if you had time to devote to my silly requests.

You should definitely go for Motorola Moto G because it comes with Kitkat out of the box and Specs are truly awesome, Camera is pretty good too.. on the other hand HTC desire x is a pretty out dated phone , and 601 may be a nice choice but Moto G offers more in Less price ..
Lenovo!!!!
Quad-core power
there more buying sites .. Like antealife inthebox and and and ..
This is no advertisment! Andthere also other lenovo phons with great spec. And good price.

I've been a big Samsung Fan, but somehow it has changed in the last few months. I'd take the Sony, it looks better and is not a "everybody has got it- samsung"

honestly the moto g is my no1 preference but as i told you i couldn't find it cheaper than 195 euros.I found it on sites abroad but the shipping and taxes would raise the price to the same level. If anyone could advise me on how to obtain it in a cheaper price like the US and India ones that would be awesome!!!!

it's like you're asking me to spend my money for half a year of use, maximum! I'm a poor student, not a naive Richy McRich!
I personally don't think Xperia is worth it's price. It has a lot of issues with it's software from my and other people I know's experience. So... I'd recommend anything else but the Sony Xperia brand.
Based on your list, I would chose the xperia m !

(Hi Justmpm)
Ideal features:
1. Small screen(~4.5-5 inch)
2. High ppi>299
3. Ram >1GB
4. Rom>8GB
5. Latest processor and GPU
6. Dual Sim preferred(not a compulsion)
7. Good Camera
and price upto 270$
These are the phoes I found
Samsung Galaxy S4 , S5
Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo.
Problem with buying is that these phones seem to be released long time ago(~2 years prior) and the thing is I will be using this phone for 3-4 years and I fear that the features will get outdated.I want a phone that could run smoothly during its time period(say for another 2-3 years without any lag or other issues).
Any other phone suggestions will also be greatly appreciated
Thankyou!!! in advance

Can someone help me root my ZTE just give me advice I'll do the work

Hi.
I feel your frustration !
You aren't receiving any feedback b/c no-one has anything on the ZTE Grand X Max 2, no developer owned the phone to figure out a root method for it.
I bought the ZTE Grand X Max 2 Z988 & used it briefly as my main phone, I bought it as a temporary phone to hold me off until I could get the S8+, I still own the phone & still use it when home to keep from over working my S8+, I keep my old phones & old tablets use them for somethings to minimize the wear & tear on my new good expensive phone & tablets processors, anyways so I still use the Grand X Max 2, it's actually pretty good phone, the ZTE Z Max & the ZTE Grand X Max & Grand X Max 2 were all great fast smooth running phones, especially for their price tag, I found all kinds of hacks & mods for the TeamMobile ZTE Z Max, I didn't find any for the 1st generation Grand X Max Plus or it's successor the Grand X Max 2, I found this extremely frustrating.
I also have a Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-907VL that I bought as a temporary phone & I couldn't find anything tips or tricks or hacks or mods on that specific S6 model, I couldn't believe that there was nothing on a Samsung S line phone, now I will only buy phones from Verizon or AT&T or unlocked phones straight from the companies website, my preference is unlocked phone but if I come across a real good deal then I will take it.
It seems that Straight Talk & Cricket Wireless phones are not devices that developers are generally drawn to trying out & that is why there is a major lack of tips & tricks & hacks & mods for the devices.
