Waiting for Nexus 5 is definitely an option.
I don't have access to Google play hardware, but I can have a pal from the US buy it for me and send it over.

My only worry is the Storage - no SD card. although it's not a must have feature.

Is waiting for the upcoming Nexus 5 an option for you? Do you have access to the hardware part of the Play Store in your country? If so, then you might want to consider this option. The handset will allegedly cost $350, and it's really a beast. The only downside for you might be the large 5 inch screen. Still, the Nexus 5 is going to be much more powerful than the Galaxy SIII.

I would get the SIII. What cell phone provider do you have?

Hi all,

I'm looking to replace my old, buggy and barely functioning Samsung Galaxy S.
The budget is up to 400$ and the key features I want are:

1) A fast and responsive deice(Good CPU, RAM, Touch response etc.)
2) A good camera
3) Not too big: Glaxy SIII size is the maximum, an iPhone 5 size is great.
4a) A popular model so that online support & accessories are easy to access
4b) I think It has to be Android or iOS for the same reason as 4a.
5) this is not exactly a feature but I will point out that I live outside of the US so I need an unlocked or at least an unlock-able phone.
6) New phone (not used).


So far I think the Galaxy SIII is a good option, but I'm open to suggestions.
Also, if I choose to go with galaxy SIII - which one should I get? there are several models and so far the i9300 seems the best from what I checked out.

Thx in advance, ZBBZ.
