I was interested in getting another cellphone.
hoping to spend around $200 for a jused phone unlocked.
Is Asus any good?
I saw one guy bought a used one with quad-core for about $200
What do you think?
I've tried Apple.
but I'm not totally impressed.
i' d only get an iPhone if it was for work or some one was paying for it.
But from my own experience Android seems better and more reliable.
I just wanna see about brands other than samsung
Huawei..
Get a flip phone Joe, its totally your style.

He's not looking for anything other than attention. He started a thread about thinking of buying his first iPhone. Fash says he posted it from an iPhone. :001_rolleyes:
Think Asus is pretty good, my brother is using one atm but he says is kinda slow, but then he got it for less than $200 and it's brand new too. If you want better quality there's some old Sony flagship phone, 2-3 years old model like the Z5 or XZ Premium, cost a couple hundred dollars more than teh Asus but offers better build quality and performance. Overall for most phones it's like buying property, in the end you really get what you pay for, though IMO 400-500$ is still what I consider the sweet spot for phones if you want reasonable to good performance but at less than half the price of Apple or Sammy's top line.
But just curious Joe, is there any specific stuff you're looking for when it comes to phones?, If you're really into music then LG's quad DAC is a no brainer, or quality camera then it's teh pixel, for quality, stability and optimization it's definitely the iPhone, all rounder Samsung or Sony, I heard some ppl say Asus's ROG phone or Razor are awesome for gaming, etc.
Joe just needs it to keep in touch with his girlfriends.
It won't get a lot of use.

I listen to the lord of the rings audiobook when I want to sleep.
But the main thing is that the phone has this new function...
Youtube is trying to sell youtube premium so that you can play music while you do other things with your phone.
Now I got that for free.

Previously I was able to run the youtube video in a small screen but it was in the way all the time.
And it only played that video... Not the playlist.
I had to check whether I´ve paid for something accidentally... Wayy too convenient update.
