Guys, any recommendation for affordable phone?
I want to get one for my mother, she don't need high spec phone.
What she need is :
1) 4g device ( she do some surfing as well sometimes and used to complain with her current 3g phone
2) 10megapixel above (due to she love to take pic
3) BIG SCREEN ( she has difficulty in reading small size characters

That's great phone indeed, but I am not that prefer to get a china phone brand.
Because of the friend's incident, bought a red mi note 3 not for 2 weeks and need to sent back to factory. I was shocked.

Then how about the Samsung Galaxy J7?

same 13 megapixel
same 5.5 inch
4g device and a 1.5gb ram, but the price is higher around rm900+ because of branded phone.

This is great. I will take this instead. Thanks for the recommendation.
Hope this time my mum don't accidentally scratch or drop the phone. This is her 3rd phone from last year until now. The 1st phone accidentally dropped and broke the screen and the second phone got dropped into the pool... Mad

Hey tt, do you ever consider of getting the Celcom newphone plan?
It allow you to lease several phone and it can protect your device ...
Since I read the thread and get to know your mum is kind of careless.
Sorry no offense, just try to help here. rabbit

Zerolution is totally not worth to get it, if you want to change the phone every year you have to add on some amount every month, so that only you can change it. After that, when you return the phone the staff will find some way to reject it and you have to pay for the balance to own the phone. You have to take very good care of it.

Think later on they will add on, whenever there is a new device is showing up.
I think the next one that will join the newphone plan probably will be the Iphone SE.
What you think? lol!

Yeah, that kind of bad... but newphone doesn't change a single penny for the changing device every year and it's open to all users.

No choice that's your phone and you have the responsibility to take good care of it.
Even your very own personal phone, you will taking good care of it like treat it as a little baby right?
