Screen size. Anything below 5.5 inches is a NO. Resolution at least 1080p, 3GB/32GB at the least.
Don't care so much about cameras, software updates, waterproofing and all those fancy blah, blah features.
For me anything higher than 5.5 inches is a no no. I don't have big hands to manipulate big screen

Display display display. I'm a sucker for a beautiful display. Also build quality.

Preferably amoled displays , ability to be able to see what's on ur screen in direct sunlight without even the slightest of problems. I give it to Samsung for that, also iPhones do a good job in direct sunlight.

windows phone is also good in this regard.

Chipset is a major dealbreaker. Got to be snapdragon or Exynos. Mtk is a NO NO.

3000mAh is the minimum battery requirement for any phone running with those Chipsets. 4gLTE band is also a consideration. Then PPIand lastly 4GB RAM and 32GB storage at the very least. Other things can be managed.

OCTAVO:
6gb Ram/ 128gb ROM.
Battery - 4000mah minimum.
Processor speed 2.3 - 2.5ghz.
Must be Snapdragon chipset.
Camera 16mp (not really a camera fan).


Every other thing is irrelevant.
My oga, please which phone fits this spec , kindly suggest

I've used both and there's a BIG difference especially in response to touch. There's a little bit of delay in touch response on mtk devices (very noticeable if u type very fast). On Snapdragon this delay is non existent. I also noticed that 4g LTE disappears and lot (on infinix hot s, hot 4 pro and Tecno phantom 6) and a lot of times I will have to manually force 4g by putting the phone to 4g only and then returning to auto. But whenever I get a call , after the call the phone gets stuck on H+ and will never return to 4g until I force it again. But on Galaxy S7 edge, it's always on 4g 24/7 even if u receive 100 calls.
It seems you are tech guru
Can you help me review the Samsung jseries that's if you have used it before
Especially j5 j7

What do you guys think about oukitel6000 plus
Re: What Is Your Smartphone Deal Breaker? by Rick9(m): 8:37am On Dec 05, 2017
For now I can't use a phone that's less than 2GB RAM & 4000 mAh battery

Battery and RAM are the two specs am most concerned about.

It depends on screen to body ratio. Galaxy S8 is 5.8 inches but looks a lot smaller than iPhone 7 plus at 5.5 inches. Looks a lot smaller than infinix hot 4 pro or Tecno phantom 6 both at 5.5 inches.

It comes down to the camera and the screen for me.

I like taking artistic shots and all that, so I really appreciate an amazing camera on my phone. My current camera is just average however, but a definite upgrade from my previous.

But then the display... I hate and cannot use all those washed out pale looking displays typical of the cheap LCDs Infinix and friends. I mean, I'm on a Gionee, but it's AMOLED and it's gorgeous. A higher res wouldn't have been bad though.

Overall, I feel a new device should always improve on the previous in almost all categories.

Re: What Is Your Smartphone Deal Breaker? by walcolm(m): 11:11am On Dec 05, 2017
If the CPU and GPU are not the latest and greatest in their class, then it's a deal breaker for me.
Re: What Is Your Smartphone Deal Breaker? by refreshrate: 11:46am On Dec 05, 2017
8gig ram
128 gig storage I can just feel like listening to Andrea Bocelli's "Por ti volare" at a moment's notice ...or maybe even Haruna Ishola's apala music.
Being an eclectic of the spontaneous kind can really be a head cracker.

So all my music has to be with me always.

Then response time...speed is of an essence! Yup am impatient too.

Fortunately oneplus 5T by Christmas will be my fix!
