Greetings!
Let's face it, that need to upgrade to a better phone after seeing it is something we all have to do
But the reason I need a new phone is genuine.
My current phone is an el cheapo Micromax Unite 2. Everything in it is perfect - heck, it even got an OFFICIAL update to Android Lollipop. And therein lies the rub.
For some reason, every app I install gets installed to 'internal memory'. It's not the 8GB memory advertised by MMX, it's a storage of about 850mb or so. Even before I updated, I never had more than 10 apps. But now the update ate up almost all of that 850mb and I can't move more than 2-3 apps to SD card. The 8GB space is lying unused save for multimedia. And now beyond WhatsApp and Instagram, nothing will install.
Anyways, considering my budget is 7-8K, what is THE BEST phone overall? I'm looking at long-term even though I suppose budget phones aren't meant for long term use. Having said that, here is what I have in mind :
1. Budget?
A: 7-8K
2. Display type and size?
A: Any type, about 4.5" to 5"
3. Dual sim?
A: Yes
4. Preferred choice of brand?
A: Any
5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)?
A: Back camera with AF
6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc).
A: Android, but I love WP as well
7. Preferred connectivity options (3G, 4G ready).
A: 2G
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)?
A: All of this in moderation! g
Below are the choices I have in mind with pros and cons:
* Moto E G2
* Redmi 2 (highest preference)
* Honor Holly
* Microsoft Lumia 535
* Yu Yuphoria
Your C&C is highly welcome!
