With so many out there today, which Android should I buy ?

Hey, I've been using winmo for almost 4 years now. I want to switch to Android now. But I see so many reviews and specs war each day. I'm actually confused on which one to buy. =|
So as for your experience please suggest me.
My requirements good gaming must support games from gameloft.
Full web browsing experience.
Good ROMS support, Overclocking support without burning (lol), CM7 support and most updated on XDA-Forums. (Like winmo's HD2 is most updated and feature full phone till date.)
It's not possible for me to goto each phone's thread and read the whole day lol. So please advise from your experience.
Thanks.
Ps. no 4G phones yet in my country. Just 3G.

Galaxy S2
That's my 2nd Android phone right after Nexus one and I am undoubtedly MEGA HAPPY

It all depends on country and carrier.

thanks you both.. =)
well carrier doesn't matter to me. I want to buy a GSM model.
I was planning for Xperia Play but the 400mb ram and the heavy UI by SE is holding me back.

Atm the GS2 and HTC Sensation are the 2 high end phones out there. As they both house a dual core processor.
The sensation has higher resolution, de GS2 more memory.
in my opinion they are equal, but you might want to read into them a bit.

if you have money sgs2, if you dont have money sgs1.

I agree and samsung galaxy s II or I are really tough competitors especially when you inject them with voodoo!

[Q] What is the best android phone as of right now?

Some say g2x, some say thunder-bolt, sensation. I was wondering what is the best android phone out right now?

G1... Vintage... Nice
Sent from my butt using XDA Premium App

Hard for me to admit this but I would have to say the Galaxy S II at the moment. After seeing multiple reviews and comparisons on YouTube, out of the box its the most polished smartphone on the market right now. Why? It has a Super Amoled Plus screen, higher quality HD recording (30 FPS), battery life is better due to SAP screen (less energy consumption), default 1.2Ghz Exynos processor. Once we recieve the "official" Gingerbread update for the G2X with corrected battery drivers, working bluetooth profiles, and no more reboots/freezing, the G2X will be on par or even ahead of the GSII. Especially with even more stable UV/OC kernels, I'm sure at 1.2Ghz our Tegra chip could beat Samsung's Exynos. Tegra has a better GPU

Anytime bro

Samsung galaxy s ii
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

well
in usa if it worked as advertised nothing can touch the g2x.
world wide nothing can touch the galasxy x-2
i dont believe we can say the galaxy x-2 is the best hee in the states since we have no idea when or will it will land first. and if it is slow coming it wont be the top dog when it gets here. stuff coming in oct-dec will kick all thats planned through august as of now. of course those could get delayed until 2012.
anyways my answer is g2x in usa, galaxy x-2 world wide.
but as for acceptable purchases at this time
g2x,sensation(when the bootloader is actaully unlocked),
and well have to see release numbers on the evo3d that could be a contender definalty better than the sensation.
if you have a g2x and they do fix the probelms with the update you wont be disapointed until at least 4th quarter.

Galaxy S 2 in hand and its not better or faster!

Hi, yesterday I bought the Galaxy s 2 i9100 for $600 thinking its going to be a 10 times better and now after using one day I. Don't think it's any better.
1. It feels soon much smaller its like Nexus S size, and all things feel cramped.
2. I'm using it side by side with all the apps I have they open the same time Infuse looks much nicer, overall same speed.
3. Sound on infuse much much better, the speaker and the earpice.
4. The browser same smoothness nothing more.
That's all I can say. If anyone wants me to compare anything or has any question I'm here to answer.
I think whoever is thinking to buy should not. I was the same wanting to find 10 times better but I can't.
INFUSE 4G IS MUCH MUCH BETTER.

But what about buying one at upgrade price (once it comes out) I've heard rumblings about it coming out 10/2 or something.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

honestly I was always wondering why ppl are so hyped over having the SII. Yeah its faster and better perfomance. But who's gonna need all that on a phone. Texting, calling and game apps is just enough for me.

For upgrade price? I'm not saying it's bad. Its just not better then infuse. Having a bigger screen is better or the speaker sound. There are lots of things in real use better on Infuse 4g

i sold my galaxy s2 long ago when it first comes out in uk! the s2 with 4.27" screen looks like it' 4 inches! do you really need dual core to check emails, surf internet, check emails, or use the gps?
but i will get Canada Rogers galaxy s2 LTE, it has the same huge 4.5 screen as infuse but with dual core 1.5g!
WTF is thinking getting s2 with small 4.27" screen!

Ye we will be getting a bigger infuse. I'll be getting it later on. I guess this Infuse is just temporary for now haha

GS2 (Epic Touch ) on Sprint has a 4.5 in screen, so the att version will have a smaller screen?

ATT has a 4.3" screen because AT&T can't do anything right, never has, never will. *cough1.5mbit4Gcough*

To be fair, the WWE SGS2 has a 4.3" display. The SGS2 that Samsung developed has the 4.3". T-Mobile and Sprint requested a larger screen. AT&T chose to accept the original size. Probably so there wouldn't be a conflict with the Infuse.

Whatever you need to tell yourself.

Isn't the SGS II marginally thicker than the Infuse? By like .3mm or something?

To the OP.. are you comparing the SGS2 with the stock rom against a Infuse with a modded rom? or stock for stock

Stock for stock there is clearly a difference. Benchmarks and real world scenarious show the sgs2 is clearly better
But.....I could definitely see someone having buyers remorse over paying $600 for a phone
I am still waiting for the celox.
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

Well, just to throw this it out there since you guys seem to dislike the SGS2 so much, I'll trade anyone my Infuse for an SGS2 without thinking twice. You say what you will, but the dual core and (almost more importantly to me) 1 GB of RAM is NICE, and I want it.

Other way around.

Sprint has a wicked carbon fiber case with a built in kickstand for the sprint version. Damn that thing is nice, don't think the infuse will fit in it though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

I'm curious if the SGS2 works like the atrix in that the second core only runs on media stuff. The atrix second core really only runs when the dock is connected or gaming. Can you tell if SGS2 is like that. If so I would stick with infuse. Gig of RAM sounds good, but for what I do the Infuse Ram is sufficient. Unlike my Captivate which didn't have the 512 it boasted (still a mystery).

You sure? The Epic Touch is 9.33mm or something and the infuse is 8.99.
Or did Sprint just blindly inflate their phone to make it teh legitz?

Really? Would you like for the infuse to drain the battery twice as fast all the time when it only needs the extra 100% drain for games and a few apps?

[Q] Should I buy the Skyrocket?

I have a Motorola Atrix right now and was looking to buy the Skyrocket. I had the Samsung Captivate and really loved Samsung's Android devices.
Some questions I have about the phone:
-The Galaxy Nexus has a 720p screen, since the Skyrocket only has a WVGA screen, does that mean less icons on the screen?
-We don't have LTE in Seattle yet, but how is the battery life while on HSPA? And how is it on LTE?
-Since the processor that is in the Galaxy S II isn't compatible with LTE, is Qualcomm's dual-core as fast and smooth?
-Is the camera take good pictures, and is the video quality good?
Thanks for those who help!

Okay... Nexus is junk...next
I get 24-28+ hours on my LTE..
Snapdragon is more than capable for anybody's needs.. if all you want to do is do benchmarks, quadrants and play games all day.. Exynos is better. But we are in the real world so....
Camera is awesome.. this phone is awesome.. buy the phone and have fun.

Chubby_Skunk, I remember you from the Atrix forums . LTE is the way to go, impressive when you're under coverage. The battery life is great even on the Vivid. I went for the Vivid, the screen is the same qHD as the Atrix.

I was going to go for the Vivid until I read reviews about it....
So I wanted the Galaxy S II and the Skyrocket seems like i'd be to big with the 4.5" screen and the AT&T GSII seems nice with the 4.3" screen.
Is there much of a noticeable difference between the 4.3" and 4.5"? it's only.2" bigger.

Is not that big of a difference (size wize), but I would go for the Skyrocket, is newer and have LTE. Make sure you read first what users are saying about the screen though, I've heard there are some pretty bad batches out there.

Appartently some people are saying the "screen" is not good...
I don't have any issues, nor do any of the 10 buddies of mine who own the same phone..

I was skeptical about switching from iPhone 4 to the Skyrocket due to its enormous size difference. After using for a day or two, I got used to it and the 4.5 inch screen really made a difference for me. However if you're switching from an OGS2, then it won't be that big of a difference but still good.

Girlfriend has the 4s, and she doesnt need to ask siri which is a better phone. i have had both att gs2's. The skyrocket is faster but the other is more refined. i like them both, but like skyrock speed

hey, my dad actually has the iphone 4 and he says all the time "hey whats that on your phone" because this phone is just so capable. I came a Sony arc and the speed alone should be enough to get this phone

24-28 hours on LTE?
I'm impressed.
May I ask what ROM you are using that achieves this battery life?

I have the Skyrocket and overall I think I made a mistake getting it.
** The skyrocket is a hastily put together phone. The plain SGS II is actually a better built phone. Even the Captivate was a much better built phone.
**The only reason for the Skyrocket hardware is to enable LTE for AT&T. The plain SGS II gives you 4G which should be more than enough, since LTE IS NOT AVAILABLE at most areas.
** The plain SGS II has far superior screen resolution.
** The exynos processor in plain SGS II even at 1.2 GHz is so much better.
** Unless you ABSOLUTELY want LTE, Skyrocket has not shattering advantage.
** The Skyrocket HD of course is a different question altogether.
** AND the HTC One X has the same specs as Skyrocket, with a HD screen and may be something to consider. Check this phone out too. http://www.mobilenapps.com/articles/1769/20120420/htc-one-x-release-date-att-may.htm#
Good luck !

Sorry, I think all ur main points are wrong frankly.
1) Build quality and quality control of the skyrocket has been excellent so far
2) I have access to 4g and LTE everywhere I go in all of Ontario, and let me tell u for what I use my phone for, late makes a WORLd or difference, 4g isnt even in the same league. This us basically just ur opinion
3) better screen resolution? where'd u find this info? link please?
4) find benchmarks showing me that exynos slaps the S3 1.5, please. Cuz I guarantee u won't. Sure if all u do is run benchmarks all day, yeah ifs faster. but in real world use u won't even be able to notice the difference. I'll take a pentaband radio that I can use on any carrier over 5% not even noticeable performance increase.
5) again ur opinion, see second point
6) skyrocket HD is same phone, better screen... so I don't understand this one
7). HTC One X has no SD card slot for expandable storage and lacks a removable battery, HUGE turnoffs for me ans several other users here, plus its HTC, and it may or may not come with a locked boot loader. Our dev took off out of the box, becuz we had no obstacles. Sammy's are definately the best for custom stuff.

[Resolved] [Q] what is the best 4" android phone?

hi,
this is my first thread. right now I have a Galaxy Mini and planning to buy some high end android device. I like music so much but I dont like a huge android phone (Sensation XE, eventhough I love Beats) and I don't really like the Xperia either. so my question is what is the best android phone which has screen size about 3.7~4in and also dual core processor?
camera is not my biggest consern.
thank you
update:
nevermind. I found my dream phone, it's called Motorola Atrix. it has 4" display, 1gig of RAM and dual core processor. Im getting it shortly.
thanks for the comment and suggestions. I really appreciate that.
cheers

Personally i would go with the HTC Rezound. in my opionion htc phones are the "best" for running any rom in my experience. it seems that people are more dedicated to making new roms for any htc phone and making improvements but thats only my opinion. it has a dual core and is 4.3 in display (hope thats okay). it also comes with the beats audio. its lightning fast and runs on 4G LTE and much more little tweaks for an htc phone . you can also go with the google nexus it runs on ICS and all google. i have tried the ICS roms myslef on my HTC Inspire 4g and i have to say i love them. ICS is amazing and very fast. but if your main focus is music the google nexus is not a good fighter for it. those are the two phones that im looking into buying soon.

If your main focus is music, then it would be most recommended to have a look at HTC Sensation XE and XL. If you live in a place where there is Verizon network then HTC Rezound isn't a bad choice either.

Here in the US, there are only a couple of phones that fit your criteria. There's the Atrix 4g, which has a 4" qhd display, with a Tegra 2 dual core chip, and 1gb of RAM.Some people might say the Atrix sucks, but I had it, and it was a solid phone. The other option is the iphone 4s, but I hate iPhones, so I can not attest to them.
Being in Indonnesia, you probably have access to Sharp and NTT Docomo. I know there are a couple of dual core phones with 3.5"-4" screens.

The Atrix is a world phone and would work in your area. I have access to them. They sell for aroind $275 USD here. The shipping would probably be the deal breaker for you though.

I can get it unlocked for you. You will have to do some research concerning shipping. The zipcode is 01373.

Htc evo 4g internet won't work. Gives error code 129
I recently purchased an HTC EVO 4G rooted and with the custom Rom Energy installed by the previous owner. Problem is since I activated the phone days ago the internet won't work. When I turn it on it reads Error Code 129- unable to establish a data connection. The phone will make calls and receive calls and I can text. However when I try to launch internet explorer it says to make sure your device has a signal and data connection. I called Sprint and they tried to walk me through the manual prl update but the rom I run doesn't have a system update setting so I can't manually update the prl. I have a 3G signal on my phone so the techs at the store told me that my internet should work on a regular phone. The tech suggested that I remove the root. Does anyone know what the problem could be? All help would be greatly appreciated.

For anyone else reading this thread who might like another opinion, I own an LG Optimus 2X which fits the bill in the original post, and with ICS installed it really comes alive! Is down to £199 RRP in places too so could be a good dual core phone for on a budget soon!

I went to the DHL site today and got a rate quote. It says that the shipping cost from CONNECTICUT 01373 to BANDUNG 40379 is $145. I dont know if this rate quote is right because I wrote these following informations:
Weight: 5 lbs
Junior Box (or something like that).. so Im start to thinking to buy two phones at once. And the other one beside Atrix that I wanna buy is Samsung Skyrocket, what is the price of Skyrocket anyway? Thank you

If a 4.3" screen is too big fir you, a 4.5" screen is going to be HUGE. Skyrockets are here go for about $380-$430usd. As for the shipping quote, try using 2lbs as a shipping weight. Shouldn't weigh more than that.

hi,
this is my first thread. right now I have a Galaxy Mini and planning to buy some high end android device. I like music so much but I dont like a huge android phone (Sensation XE, eventhough I love Beats) and I don't really like the Xperia either. so my question is what is the best android phone which has screen size about 3.7~4in and also dual core processor?
camera is not my biggest consern.
thank you
update:
nevermind. I found my dream phone, it's called Motorola Atrix. it has 4" display, 1gig of RAM and dual core processor. Im getting it shortly.
thanks for the comment and suggestions. I really appreciate that.
cheers

I recently purchased an HTC EVO 4G rooted and with the custom Rom Energy installed by the previous owner. Problem is since I activated the phone days ago the internet won't work. When I turn it on it reads Error Code 129- unable to establish a data connection. The phone will make calls and receive calls and I can text. However when I try to launch internet explorer it says to make sure your device has a signal and data connection. I called Sprint and they tried to walk me through the manual prl update but the rom I run doesn't have a system update setting so I can't manually update the prl. I have a 3G signal on my phone so the techs at the store told me that my internet should work on a regular phone. The tech suggested that I remove the root. Does anyone know what the problem could be? All help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the wrong thread to post this question, but because you actually tried to help yourself first, before asking this question, I'll help you. First thing to do is call Sprint and give them your IMEI# so they can register the phone to your account. Then ask them to push the internet settings to your phone, then ask them to refresh their system. After that, pull the battery from your phone, replace, and power it on, and try connecting to the internet.
If that doesn't work, you might want to restore your phone to stock.
BTW this might be a stupid question, but are you sure you have a data package on your account?
