Thinking of getting a 2nd hand Nexus 7 (2013) so he can read newspaper and use whatsapp/skype with my niece.

What price should I expect, and do you guys have a different recommendation?

I am getting 4 hours SOT with my LG G3 as anyone getting better SOT with g3?

That's great timings. It goes upto 5 hours, but mostly its ~4 hours SOT.

Thanks for a brief reply.
I read your j5 review and it seems i shouldn't go for it as it lacks many features in camera. I am looking for a phone with good camera and battery timings. I am also looking for S5 and sony xperia Z1 as they both lie in the same range when u buy a used phone. But some say that s5 has lagging issues.

Yeah, it's camera is good, except for very low lights, but it has just very basic camera controls, even in the so called pro mode. So not very suitable for someone looking specifically for photography.

In used, you can get a lot of good phones if you are good at buying used phones. S5 is a great option if you can find a good one. G3 & Z1 are good, but not great.

Used phones market prices are so low these days, that they buy old scratched broken body phones and then put new casing on it with new seals and screws and sell as fresh (slightly used) imported stock.

I myself dialed #12580369# and saw RF CAL (manufacturing date). 10/10 scratchless S5 having manufacturing date of early 2014 with thousand charger connect count are being sold as fresh (slightly used) stock.

It just got to 100℅. That's 2 hours 30 mins. Probably because I was using an extension cable and multiple devices were chraging at the same time. I'll do this test again.

S5 doesn't lag, unless
1) its throttling due to overheating.
2) some software issues.

Got Infinix Zero today. What a nice phone for the price. Feels very smooth and fast.

I am also using it , really good built phone with awesome screen resolution

Anyone willing to "stress test Infinix Zero 2 for CPU stability" for fifteen minutes?.

Post screenshots of results.

Stress test doesn't damage the hardware, as the phone will throttle (reduce CPU speed to prevent overheating damage) automatically. So nothing to worry about.

I am also impressed with its performance and reviews, so interested in looking into it one step further about its heating, heatsinking, throttling, stability etc, that I check in every phone.

Both apps have stability/stress tests.

Take a look at "StabilityTest (ROOT optional)"

Take a look at "Antutu benchmark"

Shouldn't be more than 20k, that too only if its in exceptionally good condition.
It's a great device, has Android 6.0 and is currently the best second hand tablet to buy.

Most shops in Singapore Plaza won't have tablets, but do go and ask around, you might be lucky and find one.
Otherwise, online ads are the only way to get your hands on a good one.

Software issues with Custom ROm?

Software issues with Custom ROm?

To be precise, stock rom itself is NOT the problem in most cases.

One or two corrupt third party apps or bloatware apps is what makes the phone unstable.

Most people blame the phone for it, but its actually app related issue, that can be diagnosed very easily within minutes.

I also bought Hot Note Pro and it has been automatically updated to 5.1.

On Zero I am experiencing very slow download of update. Even small 20 MB took three to four hours to download. Updates were superfast on Hot Note Pro.

In battery Hot Note pro wins hands down. On Zero I felt battery going fast in five six hours of heavy use (no calls) but wifi and installation of apps.
