Hi all,

I recently got a 400 bucks voucher to offset when purchasing a phone.

I don't really want to fork out additional cash to top up and will rather choose a phone that is close to 400 bucks or maybe top up a little?

EDIT: Just to add on, I am holding a Galaxy S2 currently.

Here is the list:

GALAXY ACE 2 - 330

GALAXY S III mini - 530 [Top up130]

Optimus L7 - 300

Optimus L9 - 420 [Top up20]

HTC 8S - 390

Huawei Honor Non Cam - 390

Huawei Ascend P1 Non Cam - 430 [Top up30]

BB9360 - 475 [Top up75]

BB 9360 non-cam - 465 [Top up65]

So phone do you suggest I get?

Ace 2 I would recommend. I would love to say the HTC 8s because of windows phone 8 but its lack of memory is a nuisance. Huawei/before BB10 I wouldn't even look at.

I would suggest Galaxy Grand Duos (though it is out of box you made). It has everything what galaxy S4 has save the screen resolution. It has 480 x 800 (WVGA) while S4 model has 1080p.

I have bought it and found everything very nice.

I do not know how much it will deviate from your redeemable voucher?

      But we are talking about Elon Musk, no AT&T... I know big companies are evil, but Elon and his companies are in another level which is much more dangerous.
    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
