Hi guys, hope you're having a good Sunday.
So here's the deal, my mom, that has a samsung galaxy grand (i9082), wants to change it (it became way too slow and has too many problems).
She only uses it for Whatsapp, Viber and Tango and NOTHING ELSE. (Well of course except calling.)
Now I'm trying to find a good smartphone, not too pricey but not too cheap either, that is fast just for this kind of use (I don't need 4 GB of ram, sixteen-core snapdragon 6.0 GHz to run need for speed at 240fps).
Do you have any suggestions ? It can be an iphone or android I don't care.
Thanks.

Choices:
LG G2
Xperia Z1
Nexus 5
iPhone 5S
HTC One M7
The Nexus is very good for long term use.

Thanks, I was actually thinking of buying a nexus 5 for myself.
Quick question, do you experience freezes or crashes with the nexus 5 ?

Have you tried doing a factory reset first?
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_grand_i9082-5163.php says this is a 1.2Ghz dual core processor so it should not be slow.

I'd flash a custom ROM like SlimKat. The thing will run blazing fast!

I don't think his mom would use or pay for 700$ phone and she only uses 3 apps, wasn't that the questions purpose ? I mean why would she buy one of top notch phones.
Huawei are cheap phones who could do just well :)

The Nexus 5 is like $350. The most expensive phone in my list is the M7 which costs 480 or something. G2 is 380 ish. They're not top notch, they're a year old but still very good. She can get something good now and use it for a few years.
Huawei is a great cheap phone manufacturer. But at 350$ for a Nexus, it's a deal hard to break, especially since Nexus's run stock Android and get the latest updates quite fast. Not to mentions they're very VERY smooth. AND it's gonna get Android L soon :D

Nexus is fine, I meant 5s which costs twice its price, the z1... I don't know the LG prices but I know that all LGs are expensive, or they don't deserve their price tags.

G2 is 380, and has same specs as Nexus but bigger battery and cam.
Anw, yeah you're right about the iPhone, but he said he's fine with it on the post up there so I just posted it.

Get a 4s with 8gb it's as cheap as a nexus if you can find one, and without jailbreak is very responsitive and easy to use for a lady.
AvoK95
The 4S is a very bad choice. It's old, it's slow and it's gonna get laggy really soon. It's 3 years old.

Don't get an iPhone, get an Android phone. If your mom is okay with experimenting then get a Windows phone. Windows phones are the fastest and most stable.
ramy58
I thought the iphones were the most stable ?
AvoK95
Nexus's are just as stable.

I never liked windows phone, at least my acer I forgot which version it is really, like 5 years ago. Android are much better on samsung/lg devices, nexus is a good choice. Iphone is more user friendly, in my opinion.

I am an LG G2 user and I HIGHLY recommend the phone.
