Never heard of a "Cuppy", I have no idea what it is. A Samsung Galaxy S4 is a current model, and $106 is a good price for one. I would by one for that in a heartbeat. I have an S3, so I really don't need to upgrade yet. There is no such thing as an S4 Note AFAIK, they're made by different companies.

Thank you !@sgosnell
This "Cuppy" is cell phone under the brand zopo. ZOPO is brand smartphone. They launched New 4.7 inch Cuppy QHD ZP700 MTK6582. However, this S4 Smartphone Android 4.2 MTK6589 is not brand Samsung Galaxy S4. It Copy Samsung Galaxy S4 version, so I double which one need to buy. For personally speaking, I like this brand zopo more than copy S4. But the Copy S4 looks nice and good feature.Thank you for you help!

OK, good luck with your choices. I never heard of either brand, so I can't be of much further help.

I'm thinking of getting a FF OS phone. Hopefully a true open source phone.

I like the HTC One with beats audio technology and dual stereo speakers. There were many good reviews on this phone especially the audio quality. If you're an audio buff this would make a great phone to listen to music and videos.
Even though you had a budget of $100-$160, I'd just had to mention it because I don't know any good phones for under your budget unless it has a catch, like a 2 year contract.

I have an S7189/MTK6589 and love it. It's slightly bigger than a Samsung Note II and so takes different cases/protectors, but with a 32Gb SD card it works very well and is incredibly cheap.
