princenarwal Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 i don't know how much 40 bucks costs to you in philippines? but if its not too much for you then you should go for first one as it is superior in4.0-inch WVGA (480x800) IPS Display with multitouch.PowerVR SGX531 GPU not mentioned in otherone.5MP autofocus camera with LED flash although it don't make any good for me to have a 3.2 vs 5MP but having a LED is always a big enhancer of camera quality. also it can be used as a handy torch. For front camera it is mostly used for video calling so not such a big thing to consider. while other one have HD video recording too. A +Point.HSDPA 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA 5.76 Mbps not mentioned in other one consider it is same in both.Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP and EDR. A bit older version but having wifi wil solve the big size data transfer problem.GSM Triband / 3G Dualband. Both sims are 3G so its like having 2 3G enabled phones vs 1 3G & 1 2G phoneLi-ion 1,600mAh battery vs 1300 but a large screen will require more battery so it may be equal in usage.so choice is yours. but in my opinion you shold go for a alternative of 1GB RAM. If budget is tight have a dual Sim(3g+2g) and smaller camera (keep LED a big thing to consider), remove GPU if not a gamer. but having a higher android will require a higher RAM.So best of luck.

insanedown58 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) I really am not the guy who will spend hours upon hours of his time playing something like Dead Trigger on a phone. The top of the line game that'll need a lot of resource that I would probably play is Minion Rush. I really don't need a HD Video Camera since I don't do video blogs on the go and if I intend to do so I have me another camera handy. For 3G, well.. I'm always on WiFi. I guess my requirements go as simple as this: As long as it can play a game like Temple Run smoothly, it can browse smoothly, it has a responsive screen and it has a front-facing camera for Skype calls. :D Edited October 21, 2013 by insanedown58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for connectivity you must have a 3G on one sim. For browsing and responsive screen you should go for 1GB ram. as you will not like to have a lagging phone as browsing today may be highly resource eating. Also look for a good and trusted brand. Many local brands are better than their international competitors but many of them are cheap too. so choose carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These phones are real sturdy and all that :) Now as for the processor-GPU combo, which one is more superior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't go for 1gb ram then have cpu+gpu. it will enhance the web page (enriched multimedia content) rendering speed and if you like having animation effects on UI then also it will make them smooth to go.

I'd prefer handy phones that fits right in my pocket. If I were the one to choose, I'd go for the smaller screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanedown58 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks Kabayan! Hahahahahaha. I decided to go for the smaller one because it was a lot zippier than the one that's 40 bucks more. They had a demo unit but they didn't have stocks of the phone itself :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
