I am buying a new phone on Tuesday and I had a ZTE zmax and I can't go back to having a smaller phone. My criteria is at least a 5.7" screen and needs to be unlocked or a metro pcs phone, and I would like to spend around $300 or less. Or should I just say fuck it and get an unlocked samsung note 4 for $550? Only if it's really worth it. You guys have helped me with everything else so he'll why not a phone now.
Please with a cherry on top?
good luck lol. you aren't going to find a cheap phablet like that unless they cut corners in disturbing places. or it's outdated BUT i will say this. that shouldn't discourage your options.
If you seriously want a big ass phone for cheap that is still use-able (at least if you root or install Cyanogenmod [Which i recommend you do] is the Xperia Z Ultra.
it's a 6.3 inch Phablet for like $280-ish or so dollars. you root that and you'll have an awesome little device that can be your tablet and your phone (ignore tha assholes that say "why are you calling someone with your tablet?") lmao
the only con with this phone is that the camera DOESN'T have flash. and the glass back is atrocious. if you don't put a sticker on the back or get a case i guarantee you, you will drop and crack the phone. it's THAT Slippery.
Galaxy Note 4 has a great camera and screen, better than the Galaxy S4.

I had the ZTE zmax and paid 120 for it and I loved it everyone said it sacked it was great just struggled to play some of the high end games.
I can't do contract phones like I said it either has to be MetroPCS or unlocked. If I'm all ready going to spend that much should I just get the note 4 if I do I wouldn't get a new phone for 2 or 3 years is it really worth it? Or should I get a cheaper phone and get a pair of Yamaha hs8 speakers for my computer?
I still haven't gotten my phone I was going to buy the Samsung Note 4 off Amazon and its a unlocked international version. Here is my problem the guy in the phone store told me not to buy a international version as they are knock off phones and don't truly achieve 4g speeds. Is this true or is the guy in the phone store lying to me they have in the past. All the unlocked note 4's on Amazon are international versions it seems and no one has complained and the research I did said that there is no real difference in international versions.
