Need a new smartphone but which one...
#1
HI.
We live in central Europe and travel locally and internationally so we want a dual sim smartphone with good/stable connectivity for use during our trips.

Specifically we need.
1) A 5-6 inch high resolution gorilla glass display.
2) Average to good WIFI.
3) 2G and 3G (even 4G if possible).
4) Enough bands to make it work in most countries, specifically Aust/NZ, North America and western Europe.
5) A good front camera and a good to above average rear camera.
6) A fast processor so it will cope well with GPS nav (Sygic), online searches etc.
7) Stable radio connectivity especially 3G/data for online searches, bookings etc.
8) A WORKING/RELIABLE GPS.
9) A removable/replaceable battery.
10) At least 2GB ram and a SD card slot.

I know this is a demanding list but I am hopeful there are some options in the market Rolleyes

Regards...

If it weren't for the 2GB requirement, I'd say iNew V3 or Huawei Mate, but with the 2GB requirement...Recommend THL W8S

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Thanks for the reply Gizbeat
The 2GB ram isn't a deal breaker, it is just that it makes life easier. As I understand it for most brands it is possible to move the partition (although I haven't done it) Angel

Have you had experience with either of the THL or Huawei models?

You can't truly modify the RAM. The RAM is the RAM, that's it. You can change storage partitions though.

I'd recommend iNew V3 as the best bang for the buck out there. The Huawei mate will be a step up and support more 3G frequencies in the Americas. The battery is smallish on the iNew V3, but it's coming with an extra battery free now from our sponsor.

Hi Gizbeat.
Yes the iNew V3 does look good, it is definitely on my short list (actually my list only has the V3 on it so far Embarrased ). It would be nice to hear the experiences from current V3 owners, how is life with the iNew V3... Smiling
And what of the Goophone V92 and Goophone V92 Pro?
Are iNew and Goophone the same company?

Regards...

There are reviews on gizbeat and YouTube.

Goophone as far as I know is not related to iNew at all. Its possibly they purchase the v92 from the same factory as v3 though. Goophone specs show v92 as single SIM, but that may be a mistake.
