new phone

[UrNsFace]

i have something like 500 dollars and i want to buy a new smartphone for myself. 
i think of the meizu MX 4 that in my country israel costs something like this and the others like G3 S5 and so on that is more expensive in something like 100 dollars.

i heard that the meizu is the strongest, but i want to know for how much time he will last ? 

and if its not like the SAMSUNG series that stuck after 1 year for its stuck and havy software.....

i dont know what to do and i would be thanfull for help from you, thanks for answering me

 i didnt like it so much, what do you think about the mx 4 ?

I watched its Android Authority review, and it looks alright, but stuff like OS updates and glitches can be a huge problem. If thats your only option, then go for it, but I'd go with any other phone with a more trusted manufacturer like Motorola, Asus, hell even One Plus. Coming from a guy who's bought these third party phones, that goes a long way.

Id say wait for the asus zenfone 2 in march, as that Meizu uses a mediatek chip that isn't very powerful, you're better off with a snapdragon or Intel chip in there. It's not to say it's a bad phone, but the software updates won't be very often and the skin overlay probably won't be nice, so you'd be in the same boat as if you bought a samsung. If you need one now though, the nexus 5 is still a solid little device, as is the motorola moto X 2014 and Sony Xperia Z2/Z3 (compact)

thanks to both of you, what would you think about the lg g3 ? are there alot of diffrences between 2GB and the 3 GB ones?

If you do have lots of tabs open on your browser or do multitasking on it, then 3gb will make a noticeable difference. If you're just needing it as a basic smartphone, so you kill all your background tasks, only have a couple tabs open at a time etc. then 2gb should suffice. A word of warning on the G3 however, occasionally it may overheat, causing it to throttle and the display brightness will be toned down until normal temperatures are achieved. That only really happens if it's doing something intense however.

The best phone that is for a fairly decent price at the moment is most likely the LG G3. The Z2 & Z3 are identical, only a few added software features with the Z3, so they'll probably be the same price still.

And how the heating problem really bad ?

Yeah, for that sort of stuff the 2gb should be fine. The heating issues are only if it's being put under intense load with a high screen brightness, so under normal conditions it should be fine, but it's good to be aware of it in case you get surprised by it happening to you.

So 100 dollars isnt needed to go from 2 to 3 ?

And does this problem will harm the phone ?

Because the only thing that cause me to think not to buy it is this problem

Nah, it's not worth the extra $100 for 1gb more of ram, and no, it's not a problem that will permanently harm the phone, it's just the opposite, the throttling is to stop it from harming the phone.

and when it does happen, it is annoying or not that bad ?

Besides the screen brightness decreasing, when I've used one it's never done anything else noticeable.

The screen brightness usually drops from about 100% to around 70% or so, so noticeable but not a distraction.

The ram difference will be noticeable if you do heavy multitasking or have hundreds of tabs open in chrome, but otherwise, unless you need the extra storage capacity the 3gb model comes with, then you'll be fine with 2gb.

i always want to have more and maybe iwont need it but not to be sorry because i dont have, the case is if 1gb ram is good for 50 dollars, storage is not a problem because i have a 16 gb chip in the phone wich i have now

If you can afford the extra $50, then you might as well go for it. Currently, there won't really be any tangible benefit, but in a years time there may be.

would you do that ?

[Thorium19]

would you do that ?

 

If I had the money, I probably would, if only to have bragging rights, even if it turned out to have no benefit, as it would give me more storage capacity as well, which I would much rather have.

maybe its better to wait to the new phones to come up? and maybe the nexus 6 price will go down?
