Q: About Smartphones - Uberanwar - 06.09.2015

Hi everyone,

I have been using iPhone 5 for months, and based on my experiences, it is the worst phone I've ever used in my life!
Why so? First, I had to waste a lot of $ on the iphone lightning cables. I bought it for $30 dollars (or RM120+, my country's currency). I've already gone through two cables. And now the comes the third one which I have to buy again after this, ugh! Yes, the cable that I bought is genuine and certified, but that only lasts for only few months!

I actually took good care of it the iPhone's charger. According to my friend's experience, some has gone through more than 3 cables. That's a lot of money wasted on that. And according to some people, a flexible phone charger could last longer than normal ones? (not sure if it's true.). Other than that.., it's pretty complicated to use the iTunes to do something, there's also limitations, you can copy files to your iPhone from ur PC but you cannot transfer the files from ur iphone back to ur PC again.. I had to use third party software, which isn't free. (but thankfully there's a crack for it). Compared to an Android, it is easier to do those stuffs.

I do realize that iPhone is good in terms of performance, but it's pretty complicated to use it. The previous android phone I used before is Samsung... But it sucks in performance, it will get laggy..

So yeah.. I am planning to buy an Android phone soon.. Can anyone suggest me an android phone which is good in performance and battery life?

My both mobile & tab are based on Android OS, but different verions (KitKat & JellyBean). To be honest, I never tried out IOS, as it's too way expensive for me to afford, but I saw it at some school mates, and it looks quite flexible. However, if there would be to make a top of the OSes available for mobiles, I would place Android on the first place, IOS on the second and Windows on the last (I like its design, but it's quite limited).
If you would like to purchase a new mobile, what's your budget, first of all?

nexus phones are my favourite android phones. Oneplus phones are also great. HTC are pretty good these days too. Currently using an LG G3 and I love it, it's just a tad too big for my liking.

Given the region where you live, I wouldn't be surprised if you accidentally and unknowingly purchased fake chargers. Same thing with idiots who try to sell fake 1TB USB drives for extremely low prices. While 1TB drives actually exist, they currently sell for upward of $800.

Also, yes, that ^. I've had dozens of genuine apple chargers and only ever had an issue with one of them and that was because I physically broke it.

My budget is around MYR 500-700.

What? That doesn't happen.

Actually it does. It says that it's not an Official Apple product when you plug it to charge.

Why has that never happened with any of the dozens of chargers I've bought from cheap Chinese stores?
