My friends needs a new android phone for around 22k and he is considering Lenovo vibe z k190. Please suggest some better phones with similar specs.
Android phone for ~22k
K
avoid lenovo at all costs- their phones dont get updates and are filled with bloat
no rom support as well
i suggest you get the one plus one or nexus 5 or 1st gen Moto X instead

[MENTION=184724]kkn13[/MENTION] OnePlus is getting banned in India right? is it safe to buy their phone here? any other phones in this price range with Snapdragon 800?
+1 to Moto X (2013), Nexus 5 and Oneplus One
V
moto x is inferior to lenovo in following terms
1. Screen Size
2.Processor
3.Camera
4.Display
1. Screen Size
2.Processor
3.Camera
4.Display

My friend is saying for Lenovo vibe z k190:
The good
1.Screen Size (5.5 for some people and he likes it)
2.Processor(snapdragon 800)
3.Camera(13 MP front 5 MP rear)
4.Display (Full HD 1080)
The bad
1.UI software (comes with a lot of bloatware)
2.Memory (only 16 GB non extendable.)
3.Size (for some people)
4.Late / No updates
I do accept that it comes with a lot of bloatware and memory is also not great but at this price point will be difficult to find an alternative.

+1 to Nexus 5.
One plus one has some legal disputes in India. Better stay away.

I think lenovo is more worth the money
at 22k OPO is the best option and the ban will be lifted soon (same happened with Xiaomi)
the only thing is u will have to beg for invites and lucky
otherwise Nexus 5 is good choice also
perfectly safe. they'll resume sale once the whole licensing mess is over or when they finish work on their own Android OS.
try Nexus 5. 16GB cost 24k plus Android 5.0 without any bloatwares.
In case of Xiaomi it was most likely related to network. And AFAIK Note is still banned (ban lifted only for smartphones powered by Qualcomm chip). Whereas in case of OPO, it is about the OS and mayn't get over anytime soon.
K
its a temporary ban because they gave exclusivity rights for CM11S to micromax's CM phone- Yureka
they will have to ship it with another version of android- maybe stock,maybe a different version of CM
but the loophole to this is that they will mostly release a tool or something to flash CM11S onto it very easily so its pretty safe to buy
Im usually the first person to be skeptical of such newcomer phones but One Plus One is very very promising,its build ,look and feel is very fresh and very premium,something which puts xiaomi phones(redmi,mi3,mi4) down in my eyes
- - - Updated - - -
i thought the same way and bought 2 lenovo tablets ,believe me build quality is great,
after sales,custom roms,rooting and the stock UI is a pain and isnt worth it
get one of the other mentioned phones imho
- - - Updated - - -
the legal disputes are nearly resolved
it was because of MMX deal with CM/OPO
read my above post
- - - Updated - - -
i heard OPO will be re-released in India with stock android or some other version of android(not CM) and that they will release a tool to flash CM11S onto it very easily
If you really want to be safe-Nexus 5 is a great phone
V
Nexus 5 will cost around 24k vs Lenovo vibe z which is at 20k is it worth spending extra 4 k
K
V
well to be true I am more tilted towards Lenovo due to its awesome camera (I have had first hand experience) and the screen size ,
as far as software is concerned I will root it to the basic anroid, is there any thing else I should be worried about (any issues with lenovo)

K
Nexus 5 also has a great camera,dunno about Lenovos camera
about rooting etc
i believe you are talking about the method mentioned here-
[ROOT]Lenovo Vibe Z (K910) | Android Development and Hacking | XDA Forums
if so i will still warn you because itll have very little support from devs and even official updates
end choice is yours ofcourse but personally given a choice,id take my chances with a one plus one or a Nexus 5 instead because ive had a bad experience with Lenovo before
one thing about Lenovo though,the finish of their devices is great to use without a cover for most of their models and build is usually satisfactory but if your gonna spend 22k ,the other mentioned phones are better options
V
All I am concerned about is that is there any flaw in the device (especially hardware) which I should be concerned about.
There isn't any hardware problem on Lenovo phones. They are in the mobile business for long enough to know what they are doing.
The VZ is better in EVERY way than Nexus 5 and Moto X except software, it's a known thing anyway.
Still I would advice to check GSMA's comment section of the phone to see if there's any known problem or not.

^^define better,i dont see how any other phone(except OPO) can beat a Nexus in terms of software and build quality etc
Let me google that for you
Nexus 5 and build quality in same sentence definitely deserves a huge

^^ too bad i own one as my secondary device and consider it one of the only androids worth buying
your opinion on its build quality also shows that you dont understand build quality
your opinion on its build quality also shows that you dont understand build quality
I have pointed out your stupidity on an earlier post, you really want me to do that again? Cause if I keep quoting your earlier posts then it's just about time that no one will even read whatever blabbering comes from that user ID of yours.
Besides even if I say that Nexus 5 is a garbage phone (other than software it IS, and that's FACT) you should not say anything. Cause you stupid loads are dragging people in the wrong corner for a pretty long period now, unfortunate for you that I am here now.
Now best of luck
K
^^Do you even read your posts,since when is Nexus 5 bad?too bad you just can never agree with anyones point of view and want to just disagree with 2-3 people including me in the forums
you are epic,one day samsung gs5 is the best phone ever,one day Nexus 5 is inferior to every other phone in your view
keep going man , keep going,i dont care ,i posted my honest opinion,which most others will agree to im 1000% sure
your opinion isnt my concern,its a public forum ,anyone can post their views but you just want to post hate and disagree with 2-3 people for god knows what reason
you dont like my views,keep it to yourself,i dont care about your views on my posts
the op can buy whichever phone he wants

Nexus 5 is my primary phone. Build quality of Nexus 5 isn't top notch, but it isn't bad either. Feels better than SGS4 if you hold it. Early batches of Nexsus 5 did have issues though.
I'm not a fan of slim and light phones. I use the official bumper and that gives me a solid feel.
What's in a phone other than software anyway? Even the damn SGS5 lags and SGS4's build-quality wasn't great either. The only time TouchWiz was good was in the Gingerbread/early SGS2 era. Now it just feels like unnecessary and overly done make-up.
Nexus 5 is Chitrangada Singh. You can prefer Scarlett Johansson or Bar Rafaeli, but I prefer Chitrangada Singh.

Hi guys
As per my previous comments I am interested in buying lenovo vibe z for around 20000
coz its the only phone with snapdragon 800 processor and full hd display(1080p) and with a very nice 13 mp camera
but to my bad luck vibe series is not available on shops and they say I have to buy it online only so was unable to have a hand on experience with it, does any one out there has a lenovo vibe z and could give me an honest opinion on that
thanks in advance.

I dont know many people who have one but one of my classmates just ordered one
I suggest you check out reviews on youtube as much as possible and see "grey" market shops to see if they have them
from what ive seen,shops like that such as Alfa in Mumbai always have all such phones including "amazon/flipkart exclusive" ones because they get them from US from time to time

hi mate
how was your impression of your friends lenvo plz share.

he hasnt recieved it yet,hes getting it this week
1-2 more days i think
i saw some reviews,looks decent i guess
ill post more when he gets it
It's that unimportant thing where your anyway software runs on.
Are you high? Cause if you are then please send me whatever it is you are having, seriously.

So why did you bother to ask me at first place to define better when I said VZ is better than N5? You care, cause you are getting butthurt, as simple as that.
And yes, most others will agree for sure, but they all have to be twisted maniac clone of yours
This is not your post kid, this is OP's post. I can come here and say whatever I want. You should keep your damn fingers quiet.
Course, your hard effort didn't do any good now did it?
- - - Updated - - -
He does not have any friend or anyone with that phone I can almost guarantee. Just go by his previous posts, he claimed that he had owned almost every phone ( Samsung, Sony, hTC and now he is passing the Lenovo section his friends
) and didn't like anything except his cheap ass Nexus 5 This is particularly what bothers me. He will come back after a day or two and say things like you know my friend is not happy with the phone and state some fake problems of the phone and push you to Nexus 5 :ROFL: (But he will see this post, so that might not happen after all).
He is a cheat, liar, spammer and what not, and more importantly he doesn't have a life. Well I feel for him, but still I can't let him drag the newcomers to a place where they should not be.

whats your problem man?!
follow forum rules instead of replying to all my posts,like i said,its a public forum,
i posted my opinion and so did the others ,everyones entitled to their opinion
you can keep your views on my opinion to yourself,i dont care,the op can decide for himself based on everyones opinion
also no need to be so rude to ico his post made alot of sense and will help the op better,
he is quite right-software does matter most,you can have the best hardware but without a proper rom,it would be useless,look at touchwiz itself-samsungs arent soo bad also but the software is what brings it down totally

I don't have any problem. I am well inside RULES. You are NOT. Spamming is not a rule here, nor is lying. The people here don't have that much time, otherwise they would have figured out already that how poor of liar you are.

So get your facts straight before ranting on further. And whatever I said to ico (or anyone) is not your business either, unless you two are same.

Well about the former confusion of yours, i.e. what to do with me, it's rather simple. You can go back a page and read my comment, that I said VZ is better than such and such phones, and then look at the next post. I don't get to answer to anyone here, I'm entitled to my opinion right? So? Did I start it?
And then you can additionally check last few posts (as many as you want actually, if you've the time) and see how many times I have trolled/spammed here, and then compare it with that other user by seeing that user's last few posts. Just one thing I don't allow my fingers just to work on some hatred speech, which needless to say is utter dumb, or spam with the same message over and over again.
If you think I started it you can do whatever you want. If you think I did something wrong you can do whatever you want.
And now about latter part confusion of yours, i.e. what to do with that other user, well I don't really know, I don't care, it's none of my business.
And one more thing, I'm really TIRED.

This is my first post in a very long time but as a survivor of the original forum war generation, let me share my opinion.
None of the phones in the discussion are bad. Let me tackle each of the reasonings for calling a phone 'bad'.
1) Build quality: It's ridiculous to say that a company hasn't put sufficient effort in making a ~$400 phone. Unless you're nitpicking like David, from teh Verge, comments like 'the texture is bad', 'feels plasticky', etc. shouldn't be a deal breaker. Sure, one must make sure the after sales service is good and that should be the only concern as far as 'build quality' for a $400 phone goes. I consider A.S.S. as an implicit guarantee if you buy a local phone with bill, so don't buy any phone that has a bothersome reputation.
2) Software: If the user is uncomfortable with flashing experimental ROMs all the time, I would recommend phones with good OTA support. Devs always want to play with the next shiny toy and hence, being on the most current OS ensures you get to use all the crazy mods. But, if the end user is never going beyond the popular app/games catalog, a good performing phone with a hardware matching its price should be enough, imo.
Ultimately, one must not compromise on 'must have' features, and hope the cons will not become dealbreakers quickly. Dev support is one way people overcome the hardware limitations to some extent. Must have features can be - removable battery, large capacity stock battery, sharp display, better than average camera, dev support, ota support, etc.
PS: I own a SGS 3 and have been using custom ROMs from day 1. My phone does a good enough job of lasting 7 hours, while running all the crazy mods and my essential apps. I still am a desktop nerd and prefer the desktop experience.

Anyways, a gud read before you buy: *www.digit.in/forum/buying-advice/150741-complete-smartphone-buyers-guide.html
Its not too difficult to find your phone within budget. Just do your research. Plus, there is this thing called "stress test" or something . There you will find some geek torturing your favorite device; it should give you an idea about the so called "build quality".
Heck, my Moto G 1st gen ,reinforced with official motorola rubberized cover + gadgetz shield shield guard has survived multiple falls form atleast 5'10'' height.(i can tell coz the shelf was a slightly above my head) No visible or apparent damage watsoever.

When someone talks about nexus 5, I really like to comment.
*www.digit.in/forum/buying-advice/150741-complete-smartphone-buyers-guide.html
snapdragon 800 cpu???
800(quad core)?? 801(quad core)?? 805(quad core)?? 808(hexa core)?? 810(octa core)??
Which phone you decided.??? which was your previous phone.???
I think above 15K not to buy any Indian branded phone. For international, known and popular only.
One plus one = no cyanogenmod. Color OS (Just google it) developed by oppo.
micromax yureka = with cyanogenmod (Snapdragon 615 vs 800 vs others benchmark) (Benchmark is just for cpu performance on that device (differs on each mobile with same cpu because of OS, software and hardware implementation), benchmark is mentioned because mobile needed based on CPU)
Desire 820 = sd 615 cpu compare with 800
nexus 5 = google services, updates n all. Build is good not great. Camera is ok not that good.
Battery life improved because of ART in Kitkat (upto 4.4.4) but Lollipop (code named project volta) sucks more power. Don't worry maybe next android update will solve problem.
wifi, GPS signal has some problem (every mobile has a problem). I'm using nexus 5 and happy with it
Lenovo vibe z = good specs on paper. if 5.5 inch phone is good for you then go for it.
Smasung galaxy s4 = they sell Exynos version in India, no Snapdragon for India.
By my opinion,
for tight budget and only sd 800 go for lenovo (4g lte would be better)
for new snapdragon processors with 64bit acrhitecture and with very very tight budget, then go for mixcromax
for new snapdragon processors with 64bit acrhitecture and with good budget, then htc desire 820
for better storage and premium feel, one plus one (color os)
for samsung fans, still the good phone but no snapdragon, if you find snapdragon buy it, samsung s4
for os updates, google services and stock UI, go for nexus 5
According apporx price. range

I bought lenovo vibez k910L (4g version) for 20k, I think specks are good (401ppi, sd800, FullHd, superb cam), I think looks this is a good value for money phone.

Try some fast chargers and post the results.
V
Well I have used this product(Lenovo Vibe Z K 910L) for about two weeks now and here is my impression of it.
The Good
1.Display, with a 1080p clearity is awesome, color reproduction is good(neutral colors not tweaked to look warmer or cooler), with 401 ppi no real issues there.
2.Battery, with my usage (fairly light only calls and a few youtube videos/mp3 music a day, no games), lasts for about two days
3.Charging Speed, using the box charger(which came with the handset) it charges fast and is good.
4.No heating issues as such (thought it gets mildly warm while charging)
5.Performance, handled almost everything I had to throw at it (Asphalt 8 at high settings, multitasking) with ease (you expect this with SD800 and 2GB Ram).
6.Camera, day light performance in picks and videos are very good (lots of detail), no complaints there, front camera at 5MP is also good.
The Bad
1.Camera performance in low light, if you are not a pro in using the advanced camera settings the software gives you the images are decent at best.
also the image quality does not justify the 13 MP printed spec and not at par with a Lumia or Sony
2.The size, at 5.5" screen is not a single hand device by any means (although Lenovo did an amazing job at making it a slim and a light product).
3.Sound, sound through external speakers is pretty low and the overall sound quality is certainly will not please an audiophile (me being one, tested using sennheiser cx 400 ii)
The Ugly
1.Memory, Memory, Memory , what good is a 13MP camera and 1080p display if you dont have an extendable memory and are restricted to 16 GB.
2.UI, Seriously they made a mess over there, nowhere even close to a stock android.
The Good
1.Display, with a 1080p clearity is awesome, color reproduction is good(neutral colors not tweaked to look warmer or cooler), with 401 ppi no real issues there.
2.Battery, with my usage (fairly light only calls and a few youtube videos/mp3 music a day, no games), lasts for about two days
3.Charging Speed, using the box charger(which came with the handset) it charges fast and is good.
4.No heating issues as such (thought it gets mildly warm while charging)
5.Performance, handled almost everything I had to throw at it (Asphalt 8 at high settings, multitasking) with ease (you expect this with SD800 and 2GB Ram).

Yes... something I like to mention...
Nexus line up provides all available storage for app, game installation (all 16/32 GB available).. there is no restriction on apps/games...
I don't know about others..

not really
In Nexus devices:-
16gb=11gb
32gb=26gb
^actual user available storage
even idevices(ipad and iphone) dont give full 16/32/64/128gb
A
yes... that available storage..
16gb=11gb
32gb=26gb
you can use all these storage for apps and game installation with no restriction...
I was trying to say this...
K

How we can find such restriction before buying device???
What is the decision of the OP? Settled on any device?
