Supposedly MX69T has worked out battery issues in latest firmware, but can't confirm. If it were me, I'd go with the Mate or the Vibe Z.
Thanks for that!
The Mate 2 is probably going to be the closest...(MX69T is closer, but I am highly concerned about the battery life and false claims etc being made by the producer)
Mate2 is a bit fat..and the screen is not FHD..However I am sure I can tell my wife its an upgrade from her old Samsung Galaxy Note (v1)
Which model of Mate2 would be best?
Model MT2-L00: GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz); UMTS (B1/B2/B5/B8); TDD LTE (B41(2535~2575MHz));
Model MT2-L02: GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz); TD-SCDMA (B34/B39); TDD LTE (B38/B39/B40/B41(2575~2635Mhz));
Model MT2-L03: GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz); UMTS (B1/B2/B4/B5); LTE (B2/B4/B5/B17)
I am unsure what all that gobbledigook actually means lol
I know she will be using Amaysim in Australia which uses the Optus network, which i believe is band 900.. (for 3G)
and Globe in Philippines which is band 850.. (for 3G)
Unsure on the 4G/LTE requirements (I know my Samsung S3 4G works in both countries..but it has almost all bands available on one phone from what I can see..)
Any help greatly appreciated!
Which of the forum suppliers would be the most reliable to send one of these phones (and not send a clone/copy/junk phone!)
Globe information I have found (But can not decipher to figure which model would work best?)
Globe Telecom

4G (live LTE, WiMAX, HSPA+, test, license) - 4G Globe HSPA+ WiMAX 1800Mhz (Launch Date: September 2012)

And I wonder why I am totally confused..sigh..
