Hello pro guys...I am new to android. I am planning to take a new phone. My budget is 13000 INR (280 $) maximum. Which is the best phone for this price...... Some of the phones I sort out are sony xperia x8, xperia x10mini, samsung 551, samsung i5700, i7500.... Are they good??? Which one you guys suggest???
I am planning to install shell 3d in it. Is it possible to upgrade the os to latest version in all of this phone? Will games run smoothly?
Please help me choose the best for my budget guys......
Tks in adv
I would suggest the Samsung Galaxy Ace or if you want a better smartphone, go for the motorola defy!
escrivel tks 4 your fast replay....I inquired about these phone but all of them are costing above 13000...Ace comes about 14500 and defy around 18000 I want a phone below 13000.....
Desire s
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Tks Nayfuslis . . . desire s cost around 23000... I am looking for phone around 13000..... I am planning to take Xperia X8.... What is your opinion guys???
try to find defy, even used will be better then x8
htc legend
what about lg optimus one?
Maybe look for a lightly used phone- something that will last you for a while
If you can find a deal go with the Samsung Vibrant, I got 2 of them for 99 bucks and could not be happier
my first priority is looks, build & battery backup. tell me which one has better looks & real battery backup?
I strictly don't "need" a dual sim...so the second sim will always be empty in either case.Selected this as its the best available in my budget...(btw, my budget was rs.15000 but extended to rs.16000 for this phone as it seems to be a good phone for my requirements)
thought about taking htc desire v but after using my friend's desire v i dropped the idea as the touch seems to be missed by phone for a second...but otherwise its a fabulous phone too(earlier was confused b/w desire v & samsung s duos)
I've used samsung wave 3 for a day (another friend's phone) its smooth fast....but the problem is with apps & games....really couldn't find much interesting apps & games on internet.(being bada 2.0)
None of my friend has galaxy s duos so couldn't use it personally (anybody using it?give me a personal review)
I even heard wave3 is going to get tizen os (intel & samsung tie-up which will enable android apps on this phone) but samsung havn't said anything from last 6 months about confirming this...last update about tizen was a prototype phone launched to test tizen for developers. m afraid that suppose i buy wave 3 n samsung dont come up with tizen update then i would left with just the default apps(like samsung always do...they don't care about their existing consumers & come up with new to the new consumers only)
Also, tell me, i know super amoled display is better but does the tft lcd on galaxy s duos matches it so some extent?
I'm really confused. please help me?
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 !
There are 3 threads devoted to discussions about devices, please repost your question in one of these three threads: The what should I buy thread or the The Device Suggestion Thread or the The Device Comparison Thread.
Thanks!

Hello,
Im want help from you, with phone what buy. Im decide about M4 Aqua from Sony or Galaxy Alpha from Samsung.
Requirements: Max price is 300€, best is about 240-260€.
Android 4.4 , 5.0, 5.1
Good camera,perfromance
If Samsung or phone with bad optimalization of environment (like TouchWiz,..) - custom ROM like CM,MIUI, etc..
Problems are - M4 Aqua have only 8GB memory (3GB usable), and 16GB version isnt avaliable in my country (Czech Republic, Europe). M4 aqua price here is 260€. Im selected phone beacause is water&dustproof, 5" display, and feels good perfromance. Galaxy Alpha i like too, but high price, about 340€, too much money .. What phone recommending you ?
