You will be amazed to see the level of performance and reliability obtainable from some of these old devices, pointing to the fact that they are well able to operate on the same platform with their successors. With this level of loyalty, these sets of devices can only be referred to as the old faithful.

However, majority of these old devices have exceeded their mandate and relinquished to the sideline, but others are still a major player in the game.

These sets of old cynosures have been able to create a monumental impression on the minds of consumers across the globe thereby earning them an aristocratic recognition.

[b]iPhone 5s

This goddess was released in 2013 alongside with iPhone 5c. The iPhone 5s was a major breakthrough for Apple as the device was laced with harness-able features as a result of its innovative endowments.

Read impeccable improvements on the iPhone 7... http://www.propanet.com/2016/10/impeccable-improvements-on-iphone-7.html

Among these peculiarities was the introduction of 64bit architecture, thereby making the iPhone 5s the first smartphone to run on that platform. Also the inclusion of the Touch ID (finger print reader) was another memorable achievement that Apple still patronize till date in their modern flagships.

Although more sophisticated iPhone have been released to supersede this monster, the iPhone 5s still remain the most fashionable and prominent iPhone ever made by Apple, being the pioneering base for modern Apple innovations.

In order to further sustain the immortality of this device, the iPhone 5s was reincarnated in the iPhone SE released in 2016 which happen to be an advanced prototype of the iPhone 5s with minor upgrades.

After 3 years of existence, the iPhone 5s is still a conqueror and a legend capable of subduing latest flagships.

The device is equipped with 1 gig of RAM having the Apple A7 chip processor. Despite the inconsequential RAM size as compared to latest devices in the market, the level of speed and accuracy of the iPhone 5s is astonishing and impressive.

The camera on iPhone 5s is still a killer as far as mobile photography is concerned, and majority of latest flagship are still struggling to compete with its picture quality in all ramification.

Sincerely speaking, the iPhone 5s though a bit old still worth your pocket if you are a fan of Apple or if you want to join the league.[/b]

Google Nexus 4

The nexus 4 was released in 2012 and surprisingly, this device was still able to receive Android version 5.1 lollipop without a decline in performance.

This device is still a hot cake as far as Android smartphone is concerned despite been around for 4 good years. Majority of consumers across the globe are still using this device since its release in 2012 without any significant issue worth mentioning.

The performance and optimization still remain incredible and the embedded 2 gig of RAM can still sufficiently handle complex tasks without a glitch.

The Google Nexus 4 is still a major player in the game though a bit old and archaic in hardware design. But software-wise, the device is still a giant that still attract attention from developers as there are dozens of custom ROMs supporting the latest Android version even without the official release from Google.

[b]HTC One M7

The HTC One M7 is the heartbeat and the pioneer of HTC modern innovations. The hardware design of the device is an epitome of beauty that can never be eroded in a hurry.

The hardware components were carefully and meticulously aligned to give a befitting device with structural accuracy and integrity. The bezels were accurately placed to harmonize with the 4.7 inch super LCD display, all together creating a well-rounded and compact device.

The audio output is distinctive and up till now still stound out in clarity among other latest devices in the market. HTC did a nice job on this device by creating such an amazing smartphone with an impressive audio quality.

Not surprisingly, the HTC One M7 was named “Best New Device” by the GSM Association at the Mobile World Congress in 2013, and was named the best smartphone of 2013 at the same conference a year later.

Although the software performance, camera quality and battery backup were subjected to scrutiny by critics.

[b]LG G2

The LG G2 remain one of the best smartphone ever made by LG. the device is a killer innovation with highly integrated hardware and software components.

The device was launched in 2013. It has 2gig of RAM, 3000mAh battery capacity, 13MP camera and a 5.2 inch True HD-IPS LCD display with remarkable multimedia experience.

Personally speaking I have used this device and I can say confidently that the display is unbeatable and cannot easily be outsmart by latest flagships. The display is so gorgeous and attractive making it suitable for all forms of multimedia functionality.

The device is almost bezelless as greater part of the front view is occupied by the screen thereby creating a unique appearance on the device.

LG also did a great job by partially eliminating the hardware buttons from the sides and top and placing them at the back of the device, further making the device unique.

Another great feature I have to point out is the battery backup. The 3000mAh battery capacity is more than enough to get you through the day and beyond with heavy usage.

The camera is another outstanding feature on the device which one can relate to. The pictures are well processed and outlined in a fascinating colour scheme.

The Knock On feature on the LG G2 allows you to wake and lock the device by double tapping on the screen without using the power button, and this is awesome.

The only set back on this device is the audio quality, but this is not much of a problem considering the huge positive sides.

Nokia Lumia 820

The Nokia Lumia 820 is a Windows device that was released in 2012. This device is smart and efficient in all ramification including speed & performance, battery backup, display quality, audio quality and internet speed.

The device though it was released some years back can still run on the latest version of Windows mobile operating system, Windows 10. The device is still able to handle tasks and the multitasking capability is top notch and incomparable with optimum stability in the overall performance of the software.

The battery backup though not the best is still very reliable compared to latest flagships with Jellyfish battery backup.

[b]Samsung Galaxy S4

The Samsung Galaxy S4 was the Prince of Android in 2013 and up till date still command considerable degree of respect and recognition.

The device was released in 2013 by Samsung and some of the remarkable specs include 5.0 inch Super AMOLED display, 2gig of RAM, 13 MP rare camera and with 2600mAh battery.

The display appearance is a hell of a beauty that glares. The clarity of the display was well refined and fine-tuned to produce high quality images that you can hardly fine elsewhere. This was one of the major selling point of the device back then when the device was still in vogue in the market.

The camera was another great selling point on the device which up till now can still be reckoned with even in the presence of more sophisticated devices of modern time.

The Samsung galaxy S4 though a bit old is still a monster in the Android community that other smartphones within the community can still pay homage to.

The two minor drawbacks you will notice are the poor plastic housing and the tendency to quickly warm up after few minutes of usage.[/b]

[b]Sony Xperia Z1

The Sony Xperia Z1 is a unique device that was launched in 2013 with remarkable and distinctive features that are still commendable till date.

The back of the device is made up of glass panel giving it a peculiar appearance. The overall design of the device is gorgeous and attractive with a unique and dedicated power button on the right side of the device.

Some of its remarkable specs and features are 5.0 inch display, 3000mAh battery, 2gig of RAM, 20mp camera and others.

The device is also equipped with water and dust resistant functionality, meaning the device can spend up to 30min under water at a depth of about 1.5 meters without any hardware damage.

The battery capacity is huge and capable of ensuring sustainability throughout the day on a single charge which is incredibly commendable for a smartphone of its caliber with dozens of battery sucking features.

The audio quality is admirable and interesting and still worth pointing out in this our current time. This is so because most current flagships cannot rival the overall impression from the Xperia Z1 speakers.

The 20MP camera is a feature with incredible and unfailing performance that will render you speechless when put into action.

The above devices if given a fair playing ground can evidently outsmart most of the latest smartphones of current time because they form bulk of the innovation on which latest flagship are built on.

So why not give them a room in your budget?[/b]

Propanet you didn't include the fact that the LG G2 develops digitizer issues over time! Sometimes due to fall or just by magic I dunno!!

But after some time, some parts of the screen become unresponsive, mostly around the middle and top areas of the screen!


Meanwhile how much is UK used Xperia Z1?

The dead zones on most LG G2 might be due to improper handling and defective units.
