Phone for Navigation

Yo,

 

I'm in the need of a phone that I could use with my travels and for daily use. Under 250 EUR. GPS is a total must and it can't fail on me, failing is out of the question. I used to have Lumia 520, the GPS used to work all the time. Then I got the Lumia 630 and it never keeps a GPS lock, it's dreadful. I'm also sick of Windows Phones so I figured I'd upgrade. I'm done troubleshooting the phone.

 

I need

 

- GPS

- Free Navigation

- YouTube in 720p

- Dual SIM is a plus

- No Lumia/WP

- I don't game or take photos that much

 

Would I be good with Honor 4x or LG G3 S?

I would say maybe xperia lineup, but I am not sure if they are dual sim... But I know they are very resistant if you need that

Xperia C is dual sim, and 250$... And very good batteri life

Dual is not a necessity. The M2 here doesn't say it has Dual, are there different versions?

Galaxy a3 is pretty good

Youtube not in 720p tho.

 

 

In that budget I would buy Meizu m1 note, but I'm not sure how good gps is on that.

Galaxy E5 would probably be pretty good aswell. http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_e5-6906.php

All smartphones have gps......

 

If you're not using a car charger with your phone when navigating, you're going to want a phone with a large battery for long trips, I think the 4s can last at least 4 hours with Apple maps navigation when I did a 6 hour road trip a couple years back, I'm not too sure about other phones.

Wondering if the T3 would be sufficient.

Have you looked at Meizu M1 note? It's amazing for the specs and the gps will be comparable I am sure.

Never heard of it. Most of the phones suggested are not available in Finland.

Strange we in Lithuania have meizu and Samsung e5, you would think Finland should have those phones too. Same region :D

Supposedly the M2 is better in navigating than the T3, but I'm not sure it looks like its for me because of its bulky design. Shame, I really liked how the Honor 4x looked.

I don't know what is pixmania but this page looks like it's in Finnish to me http://www.pixmania.fi/alypuhelin/meizu-m1-note-valkoinen-16-gt-alypuhelin-dual-sim/22516082-a.html

 

I still think e5 would be best for you but for some reason you don't have it.

Nice find! I will definitely take a look at this phone now. Do any of you have first hand experince on the GPS?

 

I don't have that good of know-hows on the GPS stats, but does this help anyone? 

Comments say the GPS is horrible..
