Next generation Nexus? - General Questions and Answers

This is how it works. Every year Google chooses the best device from the market, and releases its' copy, its step twin brother( it is an expression), with the same hardware, but with google's brand free android ui,also known as "the pure google experience".
The first brotherhood( not the assasin's creed one) was the one between htc desire and the nexus one. Then it was followed by the one between samsung galaxy s and nexus s.
What do you think nexus' 3 brother will.be? The galaxy s2, the htc sensation or the lg optimus? or another? Post your opinion.

My views are
Samsung:
Pros: great screens
Cons: terrible firmware updates
Motorola: not even relevant, they dont do wp7 so they dont matter to me
HTC:
Pros: more customization I guess?
Cons: not innovative, cheap feel, terrible battery life
LG:
pros: nothing really excellent about them... But nothing bad either, they just get by.
I put HTC on top of any lists.

There is no such the "best"
What is best for me may not be fore you
Said that I´ll choose HTC always!
I've got a Galaxy S II, it is the first mobile device I bought for myself. So +1 to SS
The Samsung Transform that i have makes me not like samsung. And true with the late updates. Everyone without the certain device that wont get updated would be on whats after ICS. We'd still be on Honeycomb.

Next nexus.Who do you want it from?

Yep guyz.as title says.vote on
although i prefer HTC as a manufacturer i voted for Motorola because i want Google to give every manufacturer the chance to release a nexus phone.
since HTC did the first one i now want a Nexus Moto.
I'd say HTC, because ever since the Nexus S they're plastic-y while the One has an aluminium unibody.
Apple...
J/K....
Nokia! Lumia 900 with Android (a dream!) in white gorgeous!
...
HTC! Prefer their designs and would love to see them make a Nexus.
to be honest, an apple on the oustide, Android on the inside phone wouldnt be half bad haha
but id say either Moto or Samsung
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I voted for Motorola. I agree it would be need for Google to give everyone a chance at it. But them choosing Motorola for the next one might not be well-received because it could be seen as them playing favorites.
I have had all 4 nexus/dev phones (HTC Dream, Nexus One, Nexus S, and the Galaxy Nexus)
The HTC phones blow the samsung ones out of the water. FYI, as an active xda member I like to think that I know my phones quite well. Samsung in both cases has skimped on thier Nexus phones. Both the SNS and SGN are missing features from the GS and GS2 respectively.
Whereas HTC actually made reference cutting edge phones with the nexus.
I personally want to see either HTC, Moto, or ASUS take on the next nexus phone.
Motorola, Sony, or HTC.

Would prefer a Moto Nexus next, HTC had one, Sammy have two, its time to give the 3rd big boy a go eh?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Hm, I'd prefer multiple Nexii from different manufacturers, for a simple reason: there needs to be more competition as far as the Nexus is concerned, or the sole partner will just slack off.
Plus, this might encourage more stock android, and that's only a good thing.
Sony from looks I jst love the new design of the Xperia S and Xperia P. But I would prefer HTC from the phone's heart.
My vote goes to motorola, in hopes that google might do something awesome with it. If not, HTC all the way.
HTC I never cared for the last few nexus phones no sd card on the galaxy nexus is a deal breaker for a lot of people also they should release it for all there carriers at once I think me next phone will be the nexus if they get it right

[DISCUSSION] POST YOUR FAVORITE PHONE OF ALL TIME and/or CURRENTLY

I haven't owned many phones. Although, my first Android phone was an HTC HD2. Now I have a Nexus One, with a broken power button and I cant have much fun with testing ROMs with it, as I did with my Leo. My Leo broke, which is WHY I have a Nexus One -____-
SO IM CURIOUS WHAT ARE PEOPLE'S FAVORITE PHONE(S).
LONG LIVE LEO!!
I would have to say the Epic 4G, the original with a physical keyboard. With CM9 this phone is great and I do not regret buying at all.
Seems like a great phone, i would totally use it if i had sprint. Thanks!
now im using galaxy gio, nice phone, nice camera and worhted to buy
just in my opinion
Seems like it has some great development as well. Thanks for sharing!
using Galaxy Nexus , this is the best phone that i have ever seen
For this moment it is HTC Desire, always up to date and very good design and reactivity
Right now I'd have to say the HTC Sensation XE. It's my current phone and I did quite some comparing before I bought it. But with what I see coming the next years, I think my next phone will become by then-all-time-favorite and so on.

for me, best and worst is the same - i9100 galaxy s2
I know i may offend some fans.
Motorola and Sony Tipo
Best - Motorola Atrix - Stock MotoBlur UI was really bad, drained battery and rebooted randomly. Changed to CM7.2 and it gives me almost 2 days battery and absolutely stable.
Worst - Sony Tipo, very bad touch response and random freezes.
New here as well, only had 2 android phones so
Best: Samsung Vibrant
Worst: Motorola Backflip
Only had 2 android phones. Was a big nokia fan but wanted t try android for a change.
Worst: Galaxy Gio. But it was actually a great phone. It finaly got to slow so I upgraded to:
Best: Galaxy SII, just awesome!
Samsung Galaxy SII - JellyBam 3.1.0 - Dorimanx 7.29
Worst: HTC Amaze 4G with stock ROM
Best: HTC Amaze 4G with CM10 nightlies
you can all power off your post, the best android for very long time is the asus padfone 2, the s3 is so slowy than padfone 2, the iphone 5 pffff.....what else!!!!!where is the really evolution!!!!(yes evolution not revolution!) a battery who don't go 1/2 day?!? all the person who have this phone at my work come to the work with a power pack or the charger so where is the mobility?????and the price.....the one very positive things is the quality of fabrication, it's a reference for all the firme,
for the majority of phones the problems are the during battery or the fquality of fabrication, or the speed in the the phone and multitasking,
for me the really podium of the phone is :
1: asus padfone 2 for the concept/design/fabrication, the battery(2 days!!!!!), the speed/multitasking, and all the harware!!!!!!!
2 : galaxy note 2 for the battery, in 2012 nearly 2013 is so important and it's right thing that we can have a battery duration more one day at this price, the speed/multitasking, but and a big BUT hte note 2 isn't really for me a phone
3: nokia lumia 920, good concept, rootable so xe can install android in the futur, the battery, the looks and the fabrication, big negative thing...windows8 it's my opinion
Best: Xperia T
Worst : Xperia X10

Which phone should I get?

Well, as the title reads, which phone should I get next? My AT&T contract will be fulfilled in the next couple of months so, I've been looking at available AT&T phones. I currently have an HTC Desire Z and I love the size of it - easy to put in and take out of my jeans pocket. Most of the new phones I see are so big they should come with a back pack for them. Can anyone recommend a late model, fast phone that isn't as huge as the HTC One X and Samsung G3? And, please don't say "Iphone".
No offence but they don't sell those phones without camera anymore welcome to 2012 almost 13 everything is big now TV's cellphones etc

Nexus 4 or Galaxy S3. You could just head over to the AT&T store and road test some.

I suggest trying the one x plus. Its big but you'll get used to the size. If not then there is the Motorola atrix HD
Sent from my Rooted Gameboy
I think ~5" is the perfect size for a smartphone - big enough screen to see things and enjoy it, but small enough to still use effectively with one hand.
Honestly, I remember the first cell-phone I ever used and it was WAY bigger.
If you do want something smaller, though - I don't know, I'd probably look at international phones that would work with ATT, or just go into an ATT store or such and look around. The Galaxy S3 Mini is smaller, but I don't know how well it will work on ATT and what you could expect (it lacks LTE, I've heard). It also depends on the performance you're expecting.
have you considered one of those quality Chinese android handsets ?
things like the Newman N1, GooPhone, ZTE V970 etc ?
I think you should go with Galaxy S3. I am also using this phone last some months it's a superb mobile phone bacase it has 4.8 inch Superb Super AMOLED display with saturated colors and high contrast with 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and HD video recording, 4.0 android operating system, Quad-core 1.4 GHz Processor and 2050 mAh battery capacity. You can read full details here:
themobileindian.com/handset-guide/details/Samsung-Galaxy-SIII
Thanks for all the replies! I do plan to look around the AT&T store but sometimes its a little overwhelming when I start diving into the specs for every phone.
I was not aware of the "quality" made chinese phones; I may look into that.
Thanks again for the help and if there are anymore recommendations please, keep them coming.

Well i have an s3 and a note 2 but i gotta say the new iphone 5 is the best it beats most droid phones.
If i could afford one i would get one.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Getting my kid a new phone for Christmas (she has my old Droid X). Was contemplating an IPhone, soley because of the incredible speech-to-text features (something my Bionic is woefully poor at) Sales dude at Verizon showed me what a Samsung can do in that realm....was utterly impressed....no diference from the 'Sirry' IPhone thing (apparently it hinges on a google service)
what's your budget? Desire z is mid range so if your budget is about the same then look at Galaxy S2.
Budget will be determined by AT&T having a phone I will settle with on a contract extension so, I guess my budget will be $200~300.

Best phone on the market at the minute (*arguably*) is the ASUS Padfone 2.. but sadly it isn't available in the US (no US release date mentioned yet either).. so would probably say the LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 would be a contender..
I'm not really looking at the IPhone 5 but will the IPhone 5 sync with my google contacts and google calendar? That's one thing I really like about the android phones. From my research the iphone 5 can be made to sync with all my google stuff but how effective/accurate is it? Are there any bugs or issues with this?
C
I just took the Huawei U8836d shine and i'm very happy with it. Changed the stock rom to custom and has great battery life than other chinese brands. Great design. gorilla glass and sturdy materials plus very thin and comfortable. Check it out.
I recommend Samsung Galaxy Note II , it's really amazing phone very fast , smooth and got the latest Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
Galaxy Ace for your Preffered Size
I would Suggest to go for Samsung Galaxy Ace or You can Opt for Huawei Ascend.
I will suggest you to don't go for small screen size as 2013 will be the Year of Big Screens so if you are willing then go for Note II you will love it and Also will get use to its Big Size.

Tamour
