  • Re: Mobile Phones

    Hey fellas..
    Planning to buy a new phone..
    Shortlisted samsung s3 , nexus 4 and iphone 5s
    Which will be a better option.. ?

    I want to invest in a phone and want to look no where for atleast 3-4 years..
    One time investment type..

    The only thing i am hesitant about nexus is that it is LG..
    It has been a history whenever i bought high end phone.. some or the other problem rise up and had to give the phone in service center for 3-4 times..

    So dont want to take the risk now..

    Suggest please..

    Thanks and Regards,

      I've used a LG gt 540( first android by LG ) ,a LG 2x ,a LG nexus 4 and now I have a LG nexus 5 ,my father has a LG L9( My ex phone) And I recently brought my sister a galaxy core ,I am sick of Samsung hanging,lagging every time ,LG l9 And galaxy core are almost identical phones ,still my sister always beats me as it lags soo much( blame the tech guy of house)
      Your range goes from 23k to 50k, best buy will be nexus 5( no update worry for next 3 years ) and if in Samsung ,most VFM product will note2 ,it is the least hanging product by smasung, or you can try Sony z1 ,the most beautiful smartphone maker ( spare parts are very very very expensive though)
      send from my LG nexus 5 using xbhp connect mobile app

        If you are concerned about fitness buy a sony xperia z1 because after buying that piece of shit, you will be running here and there to get it fixed from the service center!

            How is the touch response on this ? Higher range Lumias have butter smooth feel, is this one like that (touch response) ​??

            Ride safe and have fun.

              Touch is more than okayish like a little bit equal to galaxy s2. Thing is ,it works with gloves too.yay though I brought it for my mom ,I have to take off my glove to use my N5.
              IMHO it's best phone under 10k provided you hate mmx,lava etc like me ,mashups want best. Of course thank to Windows 8 ,less apps and no file manager .bit for people who need to just call ,msg, music ,movie,camera and a little bit angry birds, it's the right choice ,though I won't buy a Windows phone ever ,but for uncles and aunties ,it's perfect

                    Beware ,it's a kickass phone but the window os doesn't let it use the full potential.ain't no problem in phone ,but in sucking Windows os. For example ,to even put a image on your sd card ,you need a pc, there is no FILe manager .when I found out I was like what the f..also major games that are free on android are highly chargeable on Windows and no piracy can be done .but at price of <8k .it's best for parents and uncles and aunties.
                    Other option in similar range in xperia E .though it's users(I'm a xda senior member op) advised me to save my money while I can.tell me your budget and requirements,I'll help you.

                      But I already have Xperia P. Was looking for this as a secondary phone for calls and stuff.
                      I can live without file manager, have been donig so with the ipad mini. (Android wins in this regard)
                      I was looking for lumias because low end android devices get really slow in a few months and that sucks big time when in a hurry. I have heard windows os is smooth even on the budget devices.

                        Smoothness, build factor ,looks are the things that this budget lumia 520 tries to beat my N5 and comes close to it ,battery is less than 1500 mah, according to your usage buy only this phone in this range .another advice ,don't buy lumia 525. It just have 512 mb more ram.nothing more.
                        Today seeing this phone my neighbor offered to buy this phone from me at 7800 bucks. I'm thinking of selling it and get the cyan colour this time with a profit of 300 bucks.

                              I don't know about the newer Sony phones, but last years were shit
                              I myself am using Xperia P, been over a year and been to service center a dozen times. And now that I am out of warranty, the headphone jack is not working. My bro had Xperia S and it had a crashed motherboard within 2 months.
                              Get HTC or Samsung, much better than Sony.

                                Xperia S would have been replaced under warranty I believe given that no water damage... I own a Xperia Z and I went black spots on camera and I got a new replacement in 5 days..

                                Samsung had the famous emmc brick bug if u remember, I myself had a galaxy nexus, excellent phone but dead now(because of the same bug).

                                And HTC and its build issues are long. So let's give our opinion in a constructive way and not write off a company.
