ElTerprise: Oh i see that's what you meant...we just went over 30°C here...

Concerning the phone: Seems like a good choice although the internel storage might be a bit small... especially because Samsung likes to put bloatware on their phones...
Then it's only a mere 9ºC difference.
Yeah, at this point 8GB is a bit small, specially if you add the fact that the Samsung page already warns you that 4.3 gigs are used by the system already.
Howewer I was using a huawei piece of crap with 2 gig's of internal which used 1.2 for itself, which went up to 1.5 after a few updates. It'll feel positively spacious.
I'm actually more worried about the RAM. 1,5 feels a bit tight specially if you consider near-future apps.
Of course it's 3 times more than what I had.

If you know any similar phones in the same price range with larger internal storage, let me know.

Make's a huge difference, eh? :)

Yes. The RAM might be an issue as well. What would the J3 cost for you? It's around 155€ here..

Because i know that you can get the 16GB-internal storage Huawei Honor 5C or the Moto G for around 200€. Might be even less for the Moto G. And the Motorola one comes without much (or any) bloatware and usually offers close to stock Android.

Was that particular Huawei crap or don't you like the company in general? I'm just curious because i had a Huawei Ascend P6 and i was pretty happy with it.

Pretty much the same price, it's being sold for 159.
It was a Huawei Ascend G510. It started okay, but lately, it took forever just to load a note editor.
Also Sonic 4 refused to even load up.
I didn't even know about the Moto G. I'll take a look at that one.

Well not surprised about that considering the small ram and rom you mentioned (had that with my first smartphone too which was a Sony Xperia Pro)

The Moto G is supposed to be a pretty decent phone - especially for the price.

EndreWhiteMane: Really sorry to hear that, and yes some people are just diehard jerks. :/
Nothing planned today, I'll be filling in for the bosses again for the next week so I'm just going to relax today.
*big hug*
They are indeed.

So you are the boss again. Don't let the power go to your head. :-)
I hope it will go okay while you are in charge, no nasty problems.

*big hug*

Empress_Owl: **laugh** haaa I love your surfing owl !! :-D

I thought it suited you very well. We just need to get you the surf board.

Thank you. I am sure it will be fine, it was more with how it happened over that it happened that was annoying. It is not the end of the world, but knowing how vindictive and what liars they were is not nice.

How are you today?

I took a look at the Moto G³. I can get the 16G in white (black is out of stock) for 177 or the 8G one for 144. That one only has 1G of RAM though, which is a big NO.

The Ascend p6 jumps all the way up to the 200 bucks. So it falls out of the race.
Now it's just a matter of choosing the right one.

But the 16GB one should have 2GB RAM right? Because that's the information i have about it...which would be reasonable...

Not to mention that the P6 is really outdated now. Or did you mean the Honor 5?

Oh yes of course, sorry that I didn't make that clear. I meant to say that while the 8GB model only offers 1GB of RAM, the 16GB one has 2.
Yeah, minor mind slippage there. I've got so many tabs open right now I don't know which one's what.

That could work. :-)

Then we just need to get you a wetsuit. Do you want a short one, or a fully body one? Or how about just an Owl swimsuit?

No problem...just confused me for a moment. I guess 2GB would be enough, right?

More than enough.
In fact. I've been thinking about it, and 1.5 is more than enough for most current apps. Only the most memory intensive ones would need more. 2GB would be useful to give them room to grow into with future updates that invariably will gobble up memory like Pac-Man would white dots.
However considering that my current phone has barely lasted a bit over 2 years. by that time or even sooner I might need to replace it due to FUBAR. Which would make the whole thing moot.
Anyways, it's a very good alternative to the Samsung J3. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

That's one big thing. Usually the phones don't last that long - my Ascend P6 made it for roughly two years and i doubt that my current S5 Mini will make it much longer...

You're welcome - both phones sound like really good choice if you don't need the (imho often unnecessary) high-end phones or something like the Fairphone.

ddickinson: ...
Just read that one and if I may...
Spanish landowners are notorious assholes. When they're not aristocrats they pretend to be. And by aristocrats I mean the cartoony evil version.
It's a breed that somehow refuses to die, like the cockroach. Only difference is that these cockroaches have lots of money... and the sad part is that, very often, the villagers they employ revere them as living gods. Which doesn't help their egos.

Carry on.
