Sorry about the bad quality of the pic, me Sony is poor in low light conditions. The new LG however has a duel LED flash design for excellent low light pics (and a special selfie mode on the front camera. ).

iPhone, Albert???

(I've been reading the reviews of the CRF250M; seems like a great buy; looking forward to getting one when I'm back in LOS!).

You can't go wrong for the money.

Is there not an age limit when shit like this becomes uninteresting?

Seemingly not, theGent is in his 90s, but is all over the iMac...

It's the missus' phone, not mine; &, my Sony is an old version, the Z, the Z3 and Z3 compact are different class.

The missus is rejecting it; the camera is too accurate and she doesn't like the selfies; make her look old, hmmm...

I might have a new phone.

One might even do better [in life] without one.

Just an observation, less a social critique.

Wonderful. I love my Samsung Galaxy S5. Better camera. Buy her that one new upgrade.

Would throw it away if given to me.

cost 2000 baht per month for 5GB data and unlimited calls and texts and wifi hotspots.

Is that good or bad value?

Must be bad value as it costs more than my Samsung Neo did in total (1,800b). Can wake me up, take photos, and even ring people. Amazing.

The new iPhone out where people are scrambling all over the place is also a piece of offal also. Not to pee on anyones's parade here. Technically the Samung GalaxyS5 is the best buy.

Brilliant. Thanks.

Smartphones - The reason God gave us an arsehole.

I have the G2.. was totally enamored by the specs compared to any other phone out there it's a beast.

However, it's now got a slight orange burn down one side of the LCD screen - which detracts from the overall greatness of the phone.

I change phones often, iphone 5 to Sony Xperia z to G2
My own opinion, is that although these new android phones seem to have better specs on paper than iphone, they are let down by build quality and especially software.

I am not an apple fan boy, or android... I'll just buy the 'best' phone at any given time. However, I am leaning towards apple again, simply because they tend to be more reliable and solid, even if not as good spec-wise.

That's my take guys, it's all personal opinion which phone is best, I still love my G2 just lost some of it's appeal with that minor screen imperfection.

Bettyboo is right though, G3 looks awesome! very tempted... but there comes a time when screen resolution/pixel count, blah blah... reaches such insane levels, it becomes irrelevant really... a game of diminishing returns really.

Not according to my experience or the stuff I've read; for example, Techradar has the S5 at no7 and the G3 at number 4.

My take is that there are many good phones out there, the S5 and G3 are very similar phones; the G3 has a slightly better camera, a slightly better screen and I got it for cheaper than the S5...

Remember that I'm in Korea, so the S5 is the LTE-A variant, and the G3 is the Cat-6 variant, so they both have 300mbps capability that you can only get in Korea.

I don't like Touchwiz (Samsung sw), so I wouldn't buy a Samsung for myself although the missus likes them.

I agree with that. There are lots of great phones around now, some examples:

G3
S5
HTC One M8
Samsung Note 3 (and the Note 4 coming up is a brilliant phone)
Sony Z3
Sony Z3 company
i6

I'd be happy with any of these phones. I still love my xperia z which is still going strong after 18 months, has the latest sw and impresses all round. I suspect that the new Sony xperia Z3 would be my ultimate choice, but here in Korea I paid only 22,000 baht for the CAT-6 LG G3, and that's great value...

^Just be happy with the phone you bought mate, it's an awesome phone (probably my pick as well) As you said, it's a tight battle at the moment. Lots of cool phones all competing for our dollar/bht.

*But I still reckon they (top phones in general) are too big really. I wouldn't want anything bigger than my G2 and wouldn't want to downgrade to any 'mini' version of said phones with lower specs either.

I tried to love the Xperia Z bro, but god how I hated that phone! so many software problems. It would die if it ran out of juice - unable to be awakened (sleep of death issue). Just so many glitches, which no firmware update addressed.

I gifted it to my ex in the end (shows you how much I hated her) lol

Yep, Sony had many problems with the Z. I was very lucky, no problems in 18 months, but many like yourself did have problems...

I was in the shop yesterday, with my xperia z, and playing with the G2, S4, G3, S5, Note 3 and Alpha - all are decent phones. The Note 3 was very big, but the G3 and S5 are exactly the size of the xperia Z, so LG have done an excellent job of squeezing in a 5.5"screen - basically cutting down on the bezel which is exactly what you see everyone wanting on the Sony Xperia forum...

Thanks; I'll give it a week or 2 then review it - I'm gonna whack a SIM in today, then wanna check out the speeds; the fastest I've ever seen is about 30mbps on my Sony when on wifi, so I'm hoping for the CAT-6 to blow that out of the water...

^Yeah, I got the Z when they first came out in NZ - beautiful screen contrast with the Bravia tech. I might of been unlucky with a bad batch I suppose, but phones are like girls mate once you fall out of love, that's it..

I must admit, I am a but jealous mate. You have good taste in phones bro!

*Totally irrelevant, but damn I miss Thailand haha
