Hi All

Probably been discussed a lot already, which is fine. I have a quick decision to make. Need to get me a phone, and decided on 4 phones. I know the M9, Note 4 and the G4 are out, but they are expensive. So I've decided to drop down to a previous model, except for the Huawei Mate 7. Well perhaps the P8 might be something else go look at.

I'm not too bothered with screen resolution, but more battery, build quality and a decent camera ish.

Spend is around R5000 to R6000. Can I still pick up any of these for around that amount, or what are my options. Contract options is a no no.
 
Hi,
Also add the Google Nexus 5 to the equation. I am using one personally and a huge fan of all the Nexus devices. It fits within your price range.

Out of the other devices you've mentioned, I'd go with G3 as well. You're welcome to pop into our online store to see if any device tickles your fancy, details below.
 
The G3 had good reviews and many of the current reviews still refer back to the G3 in their comparison.
 
Iv had the G3 and Note 3 (both good devices) , the Mate 7 Gold Dual sim edition would get my vote and it is what I am currently using. It has great battery life (best battery life I have had on a modern smart phone) , premium build , a decent camera and an overall great user experience ,Oh and it is Dual sim which is great . There is a big difference though in the regular Mate 7 and the Gold Dual sim version , so keep this in mind . The dual sim version has 3gb Ram , 32gb memory and gives you the option of using two sim cards or adding a memory card to increase the memory.
