I need your help in choosing the phone

Hi
I need a cheap and very good
Chosen on two phones:
Zopo zp900
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...l-Core-1GHz-5-3-IPS-Screen-960/632063190.html
And
newman n1
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Preo...-0-os-4-3-IPS-960-540-1GRAM-4G/609746252.html
But I don't know who is good??
Please advise me a good phone and its price is low ??
They both seem to be Samsung variants. The first seems to be akin to the S3 while the second is more comparable to the S2. Based on that alone I would go for the S3 variant as it seems to be the more powerful of the two. Ultimately it will depend on what you plan to use it for...

Help choosing device

Hello all. I am unsure if this question belongs in this sub-forum. I have been through the QUESTIONS DO NOT BELONG IN GENERAL post, but i think this is not a Q&A.
So the reason i have this question is that im at a standstill. I was set to buy the Nexus 6, but the size and price made me change my decision.
Anyway, now i have rethink and im undecided between the Nexus 5 and the Oneplus one. The main reason im undecided is related to roms and software.
By looking at the N5 sub-forum here in XDA i see thousands of posts when compared to the OPO. I am worried that even though being a bit less heavy spec-wise the N5 might keep more developers working on it then on the OPO. Therefore more roms and software for the future.
Related to hardware i know the opo has better specs. Rounding up the HW differences what makes me undecided between the two is the RAM and the better battery life.
So iam currently stuck between these two phones and ill have to make a decision soon, i will be buying one of these in about two weeks.
Thank you for everyones help.
Best regards
you can go for samsung note 4 it`s so good
personally, between those two, I'd go with the Nexus 5 (just barely) for the exact reason you said: dev support.
Now if it was Nexus 6 and Oneplus One, I'd go Oneplus no question because of the price difference yet great specs on the One.
not matter what ,if i want to buy a new phone ,i will buy the latest
model for certain brand,if the latest model cannot satisfy my needs with their
price or size ,i will go for the latest model of other brand .that is my suggestion,
guessing samsung latest model is good .

The One Plus One is an exceptionally good piece of kit for the price and runs cyanogenmod which is a fantastic OS
Hello everyone and thank you for the replies.
I have decided to go with the One, i have been going through lots of forum posts lately reading from persons who changed from N5 to One, and in the bigger picture most ppl are calling it a good decision and a improvement.
It seems to me that the N5 is really a good phone, and imo its a better looking phone then the One, but following all my readings, the screen and the Ram in the One make a solid improvement over the N5.
Regarding my biggest concern, the software devs, well im just going to have faith in the One community. :angel: The device already runs one of the most popular roms and i have recently found out that the One is a supported phone for the franco kernel.
All in all i think im doing a good decision.
Right now im crazily sourcing funds to buy it, while i wait for my invite...
Choose OnePlus , it's a monster .
I personally like the Stock Interface more than custom UI's .

[Completed] I need your advice for my new mobile

Dear Sir,
Iam looking for a new smartphone that should last for the coming two years.
the specs that Iam looking for is a reliable one.
I have some models in mind but I need your assistance in order to decide.
first choice: Huawei mate S or LG G4 or Samsungs S6 Edge +
second choice : Gionee Elife E8 or BLU Pure XL or Allview X2 Xtreme.
Remark: in option 2, although the three look like together but there should be some one who is better in quality and manufacturing products.
here I need your advice and recommendation for option 1 & 2
last but not least, if you really recommend a mobile that is not in the above list then I will be more than happy to hear from your side.
Awaiting for your reply and thanks in advance
Hello,
Thank you for using XDA Assist
Thank you also very much for asking our advise as to your new phone choice.
While most of us here very big phone enthusiast and have been on these boards for years, the one thing we have learned is that there is so much individualism and what someone may want for their device is not the same that someone else may want.
You have to analyze what is best for you.
What do you want to do with your phone?
How much is a certain feature valuable to you?
This is like asking which is the Best Rom? There is no answer for that!
It is what is best for the user.
May suggest you make a list as you have of devices you may be interested in.
Then go to read about each device the specs, maybe go to the XDA Forum for those devices and read what the users there are saying about it.
Collect as much information as you can then sit down go through it and figure out what is best for you.
Good Luck
Ragnar

Is RedMi Note 2 good enough for me?

Hi all lovely people here, this is my first thread post here on XDA.
My long lived Sony Xperia ZL has failed me, the microphone and sim card has problem thus i'll need to change the whole board which is pretty costly.
Thinking about getting a rather cheap good smartphone and this came to my mind.
I'm a rather light user, i don't play heavy games on it.
Use it for mostly social and love to flash rom and switch between few in a month.
Any fellow user here? I'd love to hear some advice and reviews.
Is Mi a good phone to root and flash roms to? Is it easy?
Any replies will be much appreciated :good:

[Completed] The Essential Information About BATTERY!

hi guys
Im new to the xda, and im hoping to find a complete answer from the experts here.
i was looking for a new phone to buy, my old phones were LG g2 mini and Meizu MX4 pro.
The main problem i had with these two phone were battery life (and i had a major problem with meizu in heating and lagging so much!! Once I recorded temperature of 69 Celsius in meizu !! )
Now that I want to buy a new phone I started to read reviews and GSM Arena Battery life Table.
but it doesn't get me anywhere!
my main question is :
with enabling your data on mobile full day and using apps like telegram, and with minimum time of playing games(like boom beach)
which battery can makes through a day and half of use ?!
i was thinking of Sony Z5 Compact, but i couldnt decide whether its battery is good or not ?
in a nutshell, which phone can lasts longer with enabling data on 3g fulltime ? (there isnt any answer on the internet ! )
thank you in advance for your answers guys
