[Q] Questions regarding which phone to buy - General Questions and Answers

Hi everyone,i am in the market for a new phone.
I have been following general reviews of Htc one and Samsung galaxy s4, but in the end i always liked the htc one for its build quality, expecially considering that i owned the Google htc nexus one, that recently broke down.
The problem with the Htc one is the cost. I personally think spending more than 400 euros on a phone is foolish,and both the Htc one and Samsung s4 cost 699 euro, just way too much.I would fear carrying it around, and dropping it, or even scratching in anyway.
and thus i am looking at the Oppo find 5 and its general build quality, great screen,quite powerful, rom support and everything.
And in the other hand, i am also looking at the Huawei Ascend P6 (pictured), which has:
Quadcore 1,5 Ghz
2 gb ram
720 x 1280 pixels (321 ppi)
8 mpx back camera which records 1920x1080 (1080p HD) + 5 mpx frontal
removeable microsd card, and supports microhdsc
Fast mobile data support (4G)
4.7 inches display, (120 g)
2000 mAh battery
for 399 euros.
Considering this, i would like some suggestions or advice on why is the Oppo find 5 better or worse than the other contenders, and what did you like the most about your Find 5, how do you use it.

[Q] Which phone to upgrade from HTC Desire?

I kinda want some with better now and I've found four phones that I can possibly upgrade to:
1. Samsung Galaxy S (i9000)
The Super Amoled and Hummingbird are the selling points. Cheap feeling plasticky body though and no camera flash. 4" is a good size. About USD 650 / HKD 5000
2. HTC Desire HD
Massive beast with fast fast hardware. I believe this is the fastest phone released to date with the second gen snapdragon and 768 mb of ram. 8mp camera with flash. About USD 675 / HKD 5200
3. Dell Venue
Just released in Hong Kong - first country in the world to have it...guess where I live
1GHz Snapdragon, 512mb ram, 8MP with flash, plastic body with aluminum edges, 4.1" Very good price for the spec....I know judging a product by the brand isnt very good, but Dell isnt a phone brand...dunno if they are good. About USD 514 / HKD 3999
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/23/dell-venue-launched-in-hong-kong-we-go-hands-on/
4. Google Nexus S
Not out yet in Hong Kong...
Similar to Galaxy but with a better -looking- body. Exact rom version doesnt really matter to me as long it has the ability to flash a new rom, and since the Galaxy has 2.3 builds and they will be usable by the time the Nexus is released, it isnt really a selling point.
On the plus side, you can get virtually ANY phone contract-less including all of the above and more and also the fourth version of the unmentionable device.
Out of those Nexus S but I would wait until new year and go for a dual core phone instead. That way you are ay least investing in some better technology.

Meizu MX4 Real and overall review

Meizu has released its latest smartphone, Meizu MX4, and it will also announce Meizu MX4 Pro soon. But today, i would like to make a deep review about Meizu MX4 first. This smartphone has become the flaship device in the market right now. Meizu MX4 is said to be the best rival of Xiaomi MI4. As you know, Xiaomi, Meizu, Huawei, Oppo and ZTE are all Chinese famous brand. You can also share the feeling about this smartphone.
Design and apperance
Meizu MX4 packs a 1920 * 1152 Pixel SHARP JDI Corning Gorilla Glass 3 Screen , with the dimension of 5.67 x 2.96 x 0.35 inches (144 x 75.2 x 8.9 mm), From the screen size, it can be the most suitable size for us to hold. If it sported a large screen more than 5.36inch, it would increase the some unacceptable comments from users. Therefore, I like the screen size , meanwhile, i have tested the screen quality, it has also nice screen color. Which i would like to use the smartphone to wathc the videos. Hope you can have the same feeling with me.
Powerful Hardware :MTK6595 Octa Core 2.2Ghz
Meizu MX4 is the first smartphone which is powered by MTK6595 Octa Core 2.2Ghz processor, before the MTK6595 chipset came out, many manufacturers and users have predicted which brand will be the first one using MTK6595 Octa core 2.2 GHz processor, now Meizu has revealed the answer for you. About the speed, i really can't express my joy about it more. It's so fast and swift compared with MTK6592 Octa core 1.7GHz, when i play the 3D games, there is no need to wait for more than 20seconds. I can log in the games without any stop. Believe or not, just have a try.
As for the internal memory, it is not RAM 3GB but RAM 2GB, and it has two versions that one is RAM 2GB ROM 32GB, the other is RAM 2GB ROM 16gb, i am the one who is inclined to use the ROM 32GB. which has the larger storage which let me download and store numerous full high definition videos.
20.7MP Rear Camera
As for me, a cool camera is very important, Meizu MX4 has 20.7MP rear camera which is the finest camera i have ever seen compared with other smartphone. It utilizes Sony’s latest high-end Exmor RS sensor, coming in at 1/2.3″ and 20.7 megapixels this sensor not only picks up a ton of detail but it picks up a ton of light too. Although the front camera has only 2MP, the rear camera is really eye-catching. I will take more pictures about the back camera.
3100mAh Battery(Bulit-in)
Last time, you must remember THL has released the most durable battery with 5000mAh, now Meizu MX4 has also 3100mAh battery built in the smartphone. Standby in particular is absolutely amazing on the MX4, when i play the gmaes by this smartphone, it can support more than 8 hours working time. I really can't believe it.
Support 4G LTE network , GPS, and Multilanguage function
Besides those nice features, Meizu MX4 can also support multilanguage, which can beat those Lenovo smartphone without multilanguage function. And 4G LTE network let me enjoy the fast speed to search the Internet. Especially play it on subway. GPS function can help me guide my way when i have a travel, or when i shop on a strange road.
In conclusion, i love this Meizu MX4 smartphone with the good price. Hope you can also have a nice experience with me.
Well first of all I would like personally to thank you for the review. I was thinking to buy this phone and by this great review, I am more likely to buy it sooner than I thought. The thing is tho, 4G LTE network works in all European countries with all Cell phone Brands or how you call it? I mean like Vodafone, Orange, O2, Cosmote, Wind etc...? And I would like to ask something else too(since you own the phone already) does it support LED notifications? I saw a video on youtube but I am not sure if it's real or fake. Thanks in advance.
Internal phone storage
I currently have a ZTE Nubia Z5S NX503A, 32GB version. When I recieved it, I found out it had just a 2GB internal phone storage and around 24GB SD-storage. None of the storage locations are able to be physicaly removed or replaced. As a standard, Google Play Store installs apps to this internal phone storage, but this gets very quickly filled up. Anyone know how this is with the Meizu MX4 Pro?
I love meizu mx4 and pro. Planing to buy it.. Little bit concern about customs charge.. I am living India.. Did anyone already buy from India ?

As well know, except for the MEIZU MX4, Huawei Ascend Mate7 and the Xiaomi Mi4 are both the latest popular Chines mobiles, so how do you think of the three mobile phones?

[Q] JIAYU

Hey guys , any help would be appreciated.
I'm definitely thinking about buying the JIAYU s3 but I need some help.
1. Are jiayu phones reliable and trustworthy for daily use?
2.Are the cameras good and is the quality of the build good?
3.Are there any legit sites that sell Jiayu phones? Because I was looking at some websites with suggestions but there all not working anymore........
4. How do Jiayu phones live up to other great brands?
The Jiayu s3 that i'm talking about has a 5.5inch ips fhd screen with 2/3gb of ram, a 16gb rom -and the new mtk6752 64bit processor with mali t-760 and scores around 45000 on antutu at a price of 170 dollars.
It probably is my “next" phone, but because I don't own one I can't answer your number 1, and 2 questions. For third there is a web site www.ibuygou.com where I saw it was on stock. Now I have Xiaomi mi2a which is Chinese phone too and I'm completely satisfied. The only thing that bothers me is the processor, especially GPS. But when there are some reviews I would buy it. Price is very nice.
My friend has ever bought a Jiayu G6 smartphone from http://www.pompmall.com/jiayu-g6-mtk6592-octa-core-android-4-2-smartphone-2gb-32gb-5-7-inch.html moths sgo, and she said it is really in high quality especially with the 8MP front and 13.0MP back dual camera specs. But i also prefer to but the new Jiayu S3 mobile, and waiting for the avialable.
1.&2. - Yes
3. http://www.ejiayu.com/en/Store.html
I can not decide what version to buy , 2 or 3 Gb - does it any matter? Do not need NTFC.
Chinese people do not give a source. with a complete set of new firmware will be a problem that's for sure. exception lenovo.

Why would anyone choose a budget phone other than LG G2?

Snapdragon 800
OIS camera
3000 mah battery
5.2" 1080p screen
32GB storage
Thin bezels
Flagship build quality
All for $175 brand new without contract from Best Buy, good sized development community, the device that made LG smartphone business profitable/respectable, now #1 budget Android phone of all time. The value is just completely off the charts compared to the so called low/mid-range devices today.
I just don't understand why would anyone consider newer budget phones like One Plus One, Asus Zenfone 2, Alcatel Idol 3, Huawei P8 Lite, Motorola G, Samsung Neo etc.
All the Snapdragon 400/600 devices with lower quality builds and even higher prices, why would you consider any of these? Get a G2 + cricket and be happy!
Probably because it's €350 everywhere else?
That's 389 USD, by the way.
As opposed to €249 (279USD) for the Oneplus One, for example.
Which has a Snapdragon 801, not a 400/600.
