        In my opinion Galaxy Note 3 Neo is great in this era, 5.5 720p screen is best not very big and not small, Amoled display always better than other. for dual sim user also use this ome, I recommend Neo Note 3.

                  I think some of Blu's smartphones should be included as they have some good performing smartphones at low prices

                      I am finding the mobile market generally boring and I cant understand why all the overhyped excitement with small incremental changes and upgrades that do not deliver any real material differences. We need better software and a new add on piece of hardware to the mobile phone and not focus on a so called specs race which is not really delivering actual big gains in new usage experience. All this peripheral rubbish on gestures, eye movements, hovering, etc is to me just a waste. Is Android ever going to be secure and offer more, or has it run out of steam - perhaps it has. On mobiles, why isnt the Z10 Blackberry in there as crackerjack value for money.

                        My Samsung quatro is slow
                        Even Samsung care could not help.
                        How to improve the speed?

                          Under 100 Euro section, Moto G 8GB. You said "Many US retailers appear to have a surplus of the latter model, and are unloading stock at incredibly low prices - as low as $99 for an unlocked model!"
                          I tried looking for them online but couldn't find any. Please be specific. Give links to the store as proof of your claims. Thanks.

                            Ideal phone for me hardware wise is 4 in screen size, 720p display, 15-20 MP camera, 32 GB storage, 1 GB RAM, 1080p video, dual core CPU, Adreno 300 series GPU, 3000 mAH battery. These specs in ~350 USD. enough for next 2 3 years.

                            all open software wise, WP preferred because its fluent. or a new OS that installs like desktop windows, bios and stuff.

                              I wish for a phone with 3:4 display ratio, rounded top and bottom and at most 1 cm thick. The display should have about 3.7" diagonal and 600x800 resolution.
                              Is there a phone like this? If not, can someone make it for me?

                                But wait the Nokia x costs 95 JOD in my country (Jordan) which is equal to 95 € carrier and contract free (dual sim model)

                                  I wonder what the sales of a phone with Samsung's specs and Apple's design and O.S would be. Would probably reach 150 000 000 in no time. What do you guys think?

                                        Android force closes and freezes daily. No more Android for me.
