SOC and clock speed, but 4G LTE, I don't this our service providers are doing justice to what 3.5. 4G LTE is just for advertisement. Their coverage area sucks

Worksunlimited:


Imagine the fuckery....

You no even talk soc, processor clock speed, 4g connectivity, etc...

Yeah yeah, we all know Mediatek for good battery life but I'm not ready to sacrifice performance for battery life.

I use a Google Pixel XL. I really don't see where a Canon CX can meet that in performance, camera quality, 4G LTE.... . Just saying

Realboygenius:
Bro maybe you're living in the Stone age....Mediatek also produce a lot of high end processing power....I guess you have not since a device with Helio X20 or X25.... amazing devices..most Snapdragon processor are not as battery efficient as their Mediatek counterpart. I use a Camon CX with Helio P10 processor with just 3200mah battery but last longer than anything even on heavy usage.

I was very unimpressed with Core Prime and J3 (2016).

Wish you the best with Grand Prime. The price looks relatively good. Hope you are not buying a used phone? I personally prefer to buy a brand new 10k phone to buying a used 100k one.

All the best!
. Its a new phone. Priced it at slot last week

The two things lost in the article is screen to body ratio and processor..

Phones have really taken a different turn this 2017, the more the screen ratio d more attractive it looks,

I was contemplating upgrading to s7 or iPhone 7 but wih the iphone 8 and s8 design, i would​ rather addup coz those phones are out of the phone league...
Infact i hope phones stop putting anything else on the front like camera and headphones, everything should be sensors, even te volume button and if they can't find where to put the headpiece then ththey​ make the ear piece compulsory for calls, afterall it will reduce brain radiation too.


The future is indeed here

And what's wrong in buying a used phone? I intend buying a London used Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge plus in a couple weeks & I want to dispose of my London used Samsung Galaxy s4 very soon.

If you're referring to locally used phones then I'd understand, I wouldn't advice otherwise.

I agree with some points you made chief.

But used phones are like Russian Roulette. You really can't predict why the owner stopped using them.

Don't mean to be racist (I am darker than charcoal grin), but whites can be relied upon to a large extent if you ask why they want to sell.

The risk run in buying a used phone is one I personally don't like running.

My L8 Really has all of these qualities and i think currently shares the number one point in all smart phones presently, 5050 mah b3 life which other phone beats that huh!! Plus the ever clear camera and storage space and also has a fair price.

4G is just a hype bro. How many areas are covered and how many of our network providers give stable signal?

I agree with you.
I'm thinking of going with the LG G6, it is still cheaper than the S8/S8+
