friend just asked me what he should buy next

i said note 5 probably best if you dont mind the price but he doesnt want to spend that kind of money

next best bet would be as huawei ascend mate 7 or p8 max etc but local huawei store has no p8 max in stock

so we have to order it before seeing it and 6.8'' might be unconfoirtably big to use

(we can order from lazada but if its a problem there is mate 7 is getting old now so the p8 or p8 max might be better

for android M and whatever in the future etc )

is there anything from lenovo or acer or sharp or dell ..ie any of the less expensive but still reliable companies we dont know about yet ?

He can scale down and buy a Note 4 or even a Note 3. There is also the Samsung Mega or Mega 2. Cheaper in HK for those models than Thailand BTW.

What's he got now?
