Hey all. Thx in advance for assisting me.
Its going to be soon my 3 years with my girlfriend. My GF smartphone is done, ( Jiayu G3C ) she will need a new one really soon.
I was thinking to gift her with an old but still solid smartphone. I have currently a Galaxy S4 I9005. I´m thinking to buy her a Galaxy s5 Mini, Im not sure it is the best choice of a smartphone costing under 300Euros i´m scared its too obsolete and lacking power for Android 6.0, the smartphone can be used I don´t mind
Another concern would be if my galaxy s4 is faster (More fluid) than the s5 Mini have not a clue ( I can have for 260Euros a new S4 and 240Euros a S5Mini) . The water proof thing is cool in all but not the most important. the smartphone need to be under 5" screen and be 100% fluid fast other than that camera or sensors are just extra but not needed.
Thanks a lot if you reached here Best regards Peps

Hello,
I opened this thread because i want that people can read and see what the best phone is for him.
The most people will say that the samsung galaxy s3 is the best phone, but that's because its very populair by the galaxy series
The htc one X and the lg optimus 4x speed are good devices too.
Please write your opinion and experienced with your 'best phone' so people can see what they might will buy.
Please do it in this order, so it's easier to read

Honestly it will come down to the user "you".
Sure there are plenty of awesome new high spec phones out there. But each one will define the user, say.. ex. The Razr? It has 22-24 hours of talk time? That's impressive, most high end phone recently released can't do this.
You'll just have to look through the specs and find the one you think will meet your needs. I'm on the Droid incredible, my eye is in the nexus. Its nearly perfect for me as an upgrade, features have nice specs "except the cam/corder" not sure what Samsung was thinking
But in every other department it fits my needs.

hi wanted to ask about buying a chinese smartphone (in particular the jiayu g3)
for the simple reason - it's more affordable!
i'm not looking to root it or do anything tech just want to keep it stock standard. been trying to find out more and mixed reviews. many people seem to like them bc they are easy to root (but like i said that's not a reason i want to invest) also i few people are saying there can be connectivitity problems using it in the uk/out of china with the 3g etc (hard to configure vpn setting or sth)
basically i want a reliable smartphone (at a reasonable price).
is it a case of you get what you pay for - there is a rep of chinese phones having bad build
here in the uk is that the main competetors are samsung iphone sony xperia
i like the adroid os hence dont want to go iphone but i dont like the new samsung galaxy serises (though currently use the galaxy s captivate i897 from the states)
i love the xperia z but its just too big i want a 4-4.5 inch screen
the huawei p6 is very sleekly designed but again not a big name in the uk therfore not sure about investing.....
in terms of design the bbz10 is exactly what i'd go for but i refuse to move to bb os.

Hi all
I'm in a little bit of pickle and I don't no what to buy really.
Currently I have a nexus 4 as my main and regular phone, no problems its probs the best phone I've ever had.
I've just sold my Samsung s3 mini which I used during the day at work, it was nice and easy to handle in a rush.
I only have a fixed budget of £150 nothing over and has to have a 4 - 4.2inch screen nothing bigger, due coz when I am at work, I need to be able to handle it easily in one hand which nexus 4 is not really practical in doing.
I'm after a decent phone in spec wise and hopefully great community support, i love my nexus 4 coz of the customs roms available for it.
any suggestions or ideas will be much appreciated
Thank You

I've been rocking a Samsung Galaxy S3 since it came out but my biggest question for you guys out there is, should I upgrade to a Nexus 5? (My only gripes are the non-insertable microSD card, but I'm fine with it). Why or why not?
Of course if you are willing to. There's nothing to loose.
Android 4.4 KitKat,
Advanced Camera,
Body Design,
Specifications and also it's a Google Product, These are the reasons to buy Google Nexus 5 .
Oh.. The Price is also reasonable. :good:

Does anyone know a list of all the next generation high end smartphones that will come up in the next few months?
Im starting university in october and I want to buy a smartphone that will suit my studies (computer science) . I want it to have a high end camera, fast in terms of multitasking (switching between apps fast and get the job done quickly) and maybe with stock Android L .
My current samsung s3 is laggy now..especially all those apps coming from samsung like (gallery,camera,my files etc.) I dont know if they fixed it on the newer versions like the s4 or s5. But I think I want something different this time. Dont tell me about galaxy nexus I dont like it.
So yea I want the stock apps to be fast too..
Any phone recommendations?

The Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3 are both old business now; you would probably have a very different experience with any flagship from 2013 or 2014, which for the most part all have more than sufficient hardware. However, if you want to wait for the latest and greatest, there will probably be word of the next Nexus sometime within the next couple months.
