    Android Phones OR Windows Phones?

    If you can increase your budget, I'd definitely get SIII Mini. It's the best from the three you had put into comparison. I'd avoid Grand because it has hardware similiar to SII Plus, which is crappy Broadcom chipset.

    Android Phones OR Windows Phones?

    S Duos has very weak hardware compared to Lumia 520. It's excatly the same that Xperia J has, which I explained before. By choosing Windows Phone you'll lose a lot of applications available on Android and possibility to freely customize or even change your system (though S Duos doesn't have a...

    Android Phones OR Windows Phones?

    I think the best way would be to go to the market check what kind of smartphones you can get in your price range and then write it here.

    Android Phones OR Windows Phones?

    There's no need to use a tutorial, unless you have to update using Odin. You can update it using OTA, you'll be notified that there's upgrade if you'll connect to the internet. You can also update using KIES, you just need to connect device via usb cable and start application. It will search for...

    Android Phones OR Windows Phones?

    Yes, that could be possible, nevermind then, glad I could help. Drop by some info when you'll get Ace 2 how do you like it.

    Android Phones OR Windows Phones?

    I'll try to answer all of your three posts in one. First of all Broadcom chipset present in SII Plus is weak compared to the one in SII or even Ace 2. While the cpu seems to be decent and sometimes even comparable to U8500 then gpu is not. Not mentioning the fact that Broadcom chipsets are not...

    Android Phones OR Windows Phones?

    Yes EGPRS is same as EDGE, I think you should be fine with EDGE. But to be sure I'd contact operators to verify the real bandwidth speeds they can offer. In order to classify your needs check this: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1417/how-much-bandwidth-does-skype-need EDGE can offer...

    Android Phones OR Windows Phones?

    SII was released in 2011, so it's considered old now. I can only guess because I've never tried using Skype over GPRS. I think that speeds provided by GPRS wouldn't be enough to use Skype or any other voip. Maybe if it would be EGPRS then it could work somehow. EDIT: You should check this but...

    Android Phones OR Windows Phones?

    I looked into it and if you like this kind of design I'd suggest either Samsung Galaxy SII (I9100) or Galaxy S Advance (I9070). I'd avoid SII Plus because it's actually weaker than standard SII, especially the Broadcom gpu. I'm not sure how much I9105 costs in your country but it will be...

    Google Chrome not responding

    Have you tried other, propably older Chrome versions? You could also try Iron, it's a Chrome stripped of google tracking and other unneeded stuff.

    Android Phones OR Windows Phones?

    It depends to what kind of dual core you're comparing it to. If you're comparing it to Sola soc then it's not slow. It's the same chip actually, it just has slightly lowered frequency. Architecture is what matters not frequency, it's even more visible in devices like smartphones and you can...

    Android Phones OR Windows Phones?

    In this price point both U and Sola are interesting choices, they are very similiar except Sola having slightly bigger screen. There's also alternative from Samsung, it's called Galaxy Ace 2, should be in the price point between U and Sola. It has biggest screen (3.8 inch compared to 3.7 and 3.5...

    Do I need 3G (UMTS) ?

    In Asia most mobile operators use GSM 900 and GSM 1800, these standards are also used in Europe so most of the phones will have them out of the box.

    Android Phones OR Windows Phones?

    You're welcome. I think that Android would be the safest and best choice for those kind of tasks. Mainly because of huge number of applications to choose from, which could help you to manage all of your work. Another thing is that Android is much better when it comes to multitasking and it looks...
