I've been looking at knockoff android phones from a couple of different sites. Being a nerdist that I am I thought about getting one of these generic phones to use as a multimedia device. I thought about getting one of the quadcore phablets to use since some of them are pretty cheap but I don't plan on using cell service with it. I'm stuck on Verizon so this is purely a small(ish) wifi media device.
I've looked at Android-sale.com and pandawill.com and wanted to know if anybody else knew of any other good sites to order from. I've seen a lot of posts about the Goodphone i5 in the general threads and saw the Goophone i9 up on Android-sale that looked interesting.
Can anybody recommend me a good site/phablet to order from. Preferably want a site that uses paypal since I don't trust giving cc info out to one of these websites? Thanks for the help.

Greetings.
So it's soon my birthday and I'm thinking of replacing my good old ZTE Blade phone for a new one.
And I'm looking for a budget device mostly for gaming and emulating. Is there a website with performance listings or something?
I used THIS website to check GPU Gflops but they don't really matter that much since some phones were stuttering on games like vice city.
So these are the phones I'm looking in to since they're cheap and they have great hardware.
The pricing like this is in Lithuania so the phone might be cheaper on your country.
They might look very cheap to you but here minimum monthly wage is 260 euros.
Gigabyte Gsmart Akta A4. ( 129,99€ )
Display 540 x 960
Chipset Mediatek MT6592
CPU Octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A7
GPU Mali-450MP4
MEMORY Internal 8 GB, 1 GB RAM
BATTERY Li-Ion 1800 mAh battery
LG E975 Optimus G ( 227,35 € )
Display 768 x 1280 pixels
Chipset Qualcomm MDM9615/APQ8064
CPU Quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait
GPU Adreno 320
MEMORY 32 GB (25 GB user available), 2 GB RAM
BATTERY Non-removable Li-Po 2100 mAh battery
LG G2 ( 269,00 € )
Display 1080 x 1920 pixels
Chipset Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800
CPU Quad-core 2.26 GHz Krait 400
GPU Adreno 330
MEMORY 16/32 GB, 2 GB RAM
BATTERY Non-removable Li-Po 3000 mAh battery
Nexus 5 here costs whopping 356.23 € and it's the cheapest I found. It goes for 400 average.
So what would you recommend out of these 3?
And most importantly, do you know any other budget gaming phones with great performance?
I think 1080P display is too much it takes too much power out of the GPU and most games don't have an option to change render resolution.
The best spot for it would be 720P at most.
I want to play graphically intensive games like GTA San Andreas and emulate Nintendo DS and etc.
And here's the looks of the three mentioned phones:
Anyone?
Well i must recommend you the Nvidia Shiels Tablet....
I this this is one of the best for gaming purpose..

Hello All,
I'm looking at either the BLU Vivo IV 5.5mm, or the BLU Vivo Air LTE 5.1mm,
I just love the super thin design of them both.. but, I'm kind of a newb to cell tech!?
What I'm not sure about are the Chipset/CPU & GPU, I've read quite a bit about them both & I'm still not quite sure what is better!? lol
Q: Which phone is better/faster?
Specs:
BLU Vivo IV. MAY 2014. NOW $250.
Size: 5.0 inches. BETTER!
Resolution: Super AMOLED, 1080 x 1920 pixels (441 ppi). BETTER!
Chipset: Mediatek MT6592. NOT SURE?
CPU: Octa-core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A7. NOT SURE?
GPU: Mali-450MP4. NOT SURE?
Memory: 16 GB, 2 GB RAM. SAME.
Camera: 13MP/5MP. BETTER!
Battery: 2300 mAh. BETTER!
BLU Vivo Air LTE. SEP 2015. NOW $150.
Size: 4.8 inches. WORSE!
Resolution: AMOLED, 720 x 1280 pixels (306 ppi). WORSE!
Chipset: Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410. NOT SURE?
CPU: Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53. NOT SURE?
GPU: Adreno 306. NOT SURE?
Memory: 16 GB, 2 GB RAM. SAME.
Camera: 8MP/5MP. WORSE!
Battery: 2050 mAh. WORSE!
Use: I'll be using the phone for calls (1-2 a week), light gaming, would like good graphics/FPS, & using as a security device for two step authentication for online accounts etc.
Thanks for the help, Phil B.
In terms of which is faster the blu vivo iv has better specifications and is faster then the air. Also because of the airs smaller and lower res screen and lower res camera I think the iv would be the better choice. However if you want the phone as thin as possible and would like to pay a bit less then the air may not be a bad choice though I think the 4 would be better for your needs.
Just my thoughts and the choice is up to you in the ene.
Hope this helps.

BATTERY Non-removable Li-Po 3000mAh battery
Hi, I`m just ordered this one I`m also don`t know a really difference between H955 but it has 3GB ram and 32GB ROM so its perfect for me, only one thing what I have to shared I paid 25$ for courier extra and seller sent it via Singapore post so after all its no need to pay extra its waist of money! after all I will open a dispute to get back that 25$ but before I have to check the phone but after all its good price 189$ for that phone instead of some pc of crap Chinese mobile phones for 200$ with MTK cpu.
F510 is 2GB RAM only.

ok, is any proof of that? , F510 comes only with 2gb ram?, or could be variations with 2gb or 3 gb ram, and 16 gb or 32 gb memory ? I will only buy one with 3gb ram. Many thanks.
F510 has 2gb DDR4 ram the 3gb ram variants only comes with DDR3. Mine is 2gb ram
I own a F510 32GB. Comes with 2GB RAM. I cannot confirm whether it is DDR3 or DDR4.

Ok great, is there anyone who got F510 with 3gb ram? or which Lg g flex 2 will come with 3 gb ram? but need to be able have 4G with O2 in UK?
I think the only version that has 3GB RAM is the At&t H950. I think it is probably not better than the 2GB RAM because of not getting Marshmallow and having more bloatware. But I don't have the phones so can't speak from experience. There was a thread about the 3GB vs 2GB versions. In the end I am assuming that LG optimized Marshmallow to work better with the SOC and RAM management. IMO that is better having than 1 extra RAM but a poorly optimized OS. I think I will go with the H955 if I can find one.
Hi, ok I received my F510S from ebay, phone has 2GB not 3GB Ram, I don`t know how I can check if it is DDR4 or DDR3 but phone upgraded via OTA to ndroid 6.0.1 without any problems , by atantutu benchmark shows 77219 points so I`m impressed especially I had before ZTE Nubia Z9 Max with same CPU SD810 ant it has 55769 points !!! , google store works without any modification LTE was working without any Problem in Poland on PLAY Network and Orange to, here at The Netherlands on KPN sometimes works sometimes its only 3G, but I`m very happy from this phone for 188$ for a new phone and its not some cheap made Chinese
My g flex 2 with 2 g ram model h959 its lddr4 and the g flex 2 with 3 g ram is lddr3 its slower than lddr4 half
