Hello Everyone,
I am thinking to buy a smartphone or android device. I have a Sony Erricson Xperia Play right now which I have loved having for about 3 years now. I want to buy something more up to date. I don't want to give up the gaming controls, so at the moment I am stuck between these two:
IBEN L1 $150
http/ibenx.com/index.php/products/game-console/l1#specifications
Specs:
CPU: Allwinner A31 Quad-core 1Ghz
GPU: PowerVR SGX544MP2
RAM: 2GB DDR3
Display: 7" 1280x800
Internal Storage: 16GB
External Storage: Up to 64GB SDXC
Network: 802.11n, Option WCDMA (None yet released)
JXD S5800 $130 (On sale, normally closer to $160)
http/www.jxd.hk/products.asp?id=645&selectclassid=009006
Specs:
CPU: Mediatek MTK6582 Quad Core 1.3Ghz
GPU: Mali-400MP2
RAM: 1GB DDR2
Display: 5" 960x540
Internal Storage: 8GB
External Storage: Up to 32GB SDHC
Network: 802.11n, 2G GSM, 3G WCDMA
In all seriousness, I haven't had a cell phone plan for 2 years now, I just have been using my phone when I have WI-FI to make calls. I don't really see myself getting a cell phone plan in the near future cause I always have WI-FI every where I go.
What I want to know is, what are modern phones like? I am trying to get a good general idea before I buy. I don't want my device to be already very out of date when I buy it. I am not worried about future proof, because I consider none to be future proof, but at the moment I want it to be good. I kind of worry the JXD is already a bit too out of date.
Also what do you think of these devices?
Thanks for any input.
