I am planning to buy a new smartphone since my old Samsung smartphone is very slow and hangs up quite often. It is 8 years old. I was thinking to buy either Lenovo or Xiaomi Redmi phone , both are China made brand and cheaper than Nokia or Samsung.
Got to these 3 choices which I couldn't decide which to choose, need to hear your opinions:
1) 2GB memory , 16Gb space, 4000mah battery (USD $120)
2) 3Gb memory, 32 GB space, 4000 mah battery (USD $140)
2) 2 GB memory, 32 GB space, 3200 mah battery (USD $115 )
I read the reviews that 4000mah battery could last the whole day even though the WIFI is on. That is the advantage. However the space 16Gb would be insufficient since the OS would take up 7GB space which means the number of apps installed would be limited if the space is small.
Which would you rather have?
My priority is the battery life. The longer the better.

I think option no.2 is better coz even though it costs much .. specs. are worth it .. and always pick octacore processor..

Ask yourself which is more important to you and what's your priority. If you have money issues then get the cheaper one. But if you don't, then choose one that has specs according to your own preference.
My preference among your choices is none. I'm an iPhone user and currently I'm using an iPhone 7plus with 128gb.

@peachpurple If you go to Apple Store online you would see how much it costs. It was about $1000 here. Battery life is better than my previous iPhones of course. Now I'm just waiting for the new iPhone X to be available. But I do change my iPhone every year.

i cannot give you my piece of advice because i don't buy expensive ones. i am more into the cheap ones, and some of the phones i have had are hand-me-downs from my big brother from UK

I've got a samsung galaxy...my nephew gave it to me as he was going to throw it away
It works ok and does what I want it to.
If battery life is a big thing go for the one with the best battery life and if the storage is low I'd suppose you could get one of those tiny card things to plug in and give you extra storage.

So if the priority is battery life then the best choice seems to be either #1 or #2. If memory and space is a big concern for you then #2 wins. I would be just fine with #1 though, I don't really store that many apps in my phone and would save that $20. But that's just me.

Yah, I think you are right, might as well save the $20, can just copy out the images to flash drive
