Changing phone

Kirya

Hi guys,

already posted some msg here and there !

 

I'm going to change my phone, I used to have a S2 for 2 years when it suddently started to overheat and changing battery or checking solution on internet didn't work ! I'm using for almost 10month now a samsung ace ! And I can't stand that anymore !

 

I'm not sure yet what I want but i was looking between Zenphone2 / 1+2 / moto X style, and i'm not sure which one to pick yet, the only thing i'm "sad" is the not quickcharge feature for 1+2 but it's not a big deal ! Do you have any advice on which one I should take or other phones I could take a look at ? I'm not in a hurry since I'm actually abroad and don't use phone here !

 

Thanks a lot

Manuel

 

 

 

ps : sorry for mistakes in my post, english is not my native language !

Oppo R7 Plus.

 

I dno, I think you need to narrow down what you want in a phone.

 

Do you want the biggest battery, nice 6" screen, dual SIM/microSD expansion, quick charging? Oppo R7 Plus.

Do you want quick charging, 2.5k screen, front facing speakers, expandable storage, NFC? Motorola Style.

Do you want swappable covers, OIS, 4 GB of RAM just because, or dual SIM? OnePlus 2.

Okay i'll try to detail a little bit more :

 

I don't want a to big phone (5"5 is already big i think) !

 

I would like (but don't have to) :

-quick charge

-microSD expansion (only if the one is 16gb)

 

I have no use of :

-dual sim

-high quality screen

-NFC

 

at the end of the day, I just want a decent smartphone, Androit one, which looks good and 400€ max !

The Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 64GB is my personal recommendation. It packs a lot of punch and doesn't break the bank.

 

The XPERIA Z3 is also a very solid choice.

 

The OnePlus One is also a solid choice.

Thanks for your answer,

I have time to buy it so i will probably wait some feedback about 1+2

Also, if i have more money, should i consider the LG G4 as the best one ?

Yes, you should consider it. But do bear in mind that if it is the best object to someone else it may not be the best one to you.

Zenfone 2, The battery gets down to about %60 by 9:00pm for me. The bad battery drainage issues that are over hyped are no problem. I have yet to slow down the phone.

The only problem for me about the Zenphone is where the buttons are ! Is it  not too much disturbing ?

Thanks for your answers

 I love the back volume buttons. When I hold the phone, my index finger sits right beside the volume buttons. I dont have to reach to the side for volume control.
