[Q] THE PERFECT PHONE! How would you design it?

Everyday we hear about the newest technology coming out for mobile devices. but if we at XDA could design our own branded phone, how would we do it?
what would the specs be like?
would it run a home-baked version of android? or the latest WinMO? how about Ios4?
screen size? would it be small like the aria? or a 4.3" screen? or would we opt for a tablet?
speaking of screens? pixel Qi? Super AMOLED? basic LCD? FAMOLED? or the famous Gorilla Glass? how would we view our device?
would it be running 512 RAM? or a whopping 1024 Mb?
would we go for the 1.2 Ghz dual core processors? or conserve our battery and stay at 800 Mhz?
would it come with a QWERTY board? or on-screen only? hard buttons or touch-sensitive (for the main four buttons)?
What other crazy technology would you guys like to see in the ultimate XDA-Mobile device?
as a side note- what about pre-installed apps?

I'd take the HD2, and add SPB MS5 and S2P.
Job done.
God I have simple needs

Wouldn't this be a fun task to be chosen for. Lets see:
Stock Android would be the OS with an Nvidia Tegra2 dual core processor. I'd slap 1536MB of RAM in it, the other 512MB would be for the OS and another 1024 for the user. Because I like having a hard keyboard there would be one of those, obviously making it a slider. It would support recording in 1080p from it's 12MP camera with xenon flash and have a mini HDMI output on it. The radio module would support all GSM 3G bands and have the ability to utilize 4G if the carrier has it. The wifi would support the N band as well as B/G. Wifi tethering would be included along with NFC. All that would be displayed on a capacitive 3.7" 640x960 (~300ppi) S-AMOLED screen protected by Gorilla Glass. The power would be supplied be an advanced LiPoly battery with carbon nanotube electrodes in it to increase output and run time. Surround that with a aluminum alloy case and I think I'd be set. I might think of more later.

4" [insert latest OLED technology here] screen, landscape QWERTY, Tegra 2, great speakers, 1080p video out, SD slot accessible without removing battery, not designed by Samsung and definitely not in glossy black
That should last me for years and is not at all farfetched (I'm guessing we will see something like this around Q2-Q3 2011, and hopefully by then HTC would have tamed their recent obsession with cutting corners)

After really putting some thought into this, here is what I came up with:
Hardware
Processor: nVidia Tegra 2 Dual-Core
Memory: 1024 MB
Screen: 4" FAMOLED 800x1200 (~360ppi)
Camera: 1080p (30FPS) 8MP with dual xenon flash (back); 3MP front facing camera
Keyboard: On-screen (Swype)
Connections: WiFi a/b/g/n with latter being dual band; GSM (850/900/1800/1900/2100); LTE 4G
Additional: Trackball, Volume Rocker (left top), capacitive buttons, camera button (right bottom), 3.5mm headphone jack (top right), side-loading expandable microSD slot (right top), 1080p mini-HDMI output (left bottom)
Design
-Aluminum alloy unibody-esque reminiscent of Nexus One (i.e. rounded edges)
-Black matte finish with rubberized texture (also in silver finish)
OS/Software
-Android 3.0 Honeycomb
-Video editing software
-Facial recognition software
-Google Market
Manufactured by HTC

2Ghz processor
a real hardware keyboard
Able to boot WM/Android/WP7
4.3" screen if possible with the above post technology
hTC desing of course
and hTC OS!!

Hardware keyboard, Latest android OS, 4.3" FAMOLED screen, gorilla glass, 1.2GHz processor, best GPU to date (don't know what that is), 3200mAH battery (LiPoly), HDMI out of course, agree on the 12MP camera, 8MP multi-focus front-facing camera, LED Notifications (pretty common but still saying it so y'know), HTC form-factor and button layout (volume top-left, camera bottom right, etc), ditto on the aluminum casing (matte black finish), rubberized edges (fall guards, not sure what they're really called), totally pre-rooted (no NAND lock or rootkits yay!), 4G capable, wifi 802.11a/b/g/n, up to 12dB speaker output, 3.5mm headphone jack, full bluetooth (headset, wiimote, game controller/keyboard support), no simlock, non-integrated SIM, magnetic docking detection (those of you who know how some phones detect docking will know what I mean), microUSB connector, full gapps pre-installed (since no nandlock you can remove the system apps you don't want ^_^), some sort of lost/stolen phone software like lookout mobile (or custom one ), XDA app pre-installed naturally, swype (some people like it,not me but it's popular), ease of theming like in CM6, live wallpapers, (if possible) 1024x768 772ppi res (sweet), full flash support, OC kernel and something like set-cpu pre-installed, of course terminal emulator or android terminal (same thing really), 256MB RAM for OS and 1024 storage, microSD expansion slot not under the battery cover (gets annoying to pop it off to play with the card) and I think that's it for now ^_^
Edit: wow looks like a lot of us have the same ideas, that must mean those ideas are awesome . HTC should definitely start a research panel on XDA.

the perfect phone to me needs to surpass all that is current and then hold it's position on top for several years so software can catchup.
imagine a phone without the front buttons at all, instead, slap them on the right side along with the volume rocker for a piano like feel. top to bottom something like this:
vol+
vol-
menu-indented
home
back
search/camera click
now you can reduce the bezels on the width to nothing and the height to just allow the front cam, ear speaker, mic, misc sensors.
then put hdmi and usb on the left for docking (more l8r)
now pack the features in...
since were talking about a phone that needs to reign king for awhile, let's go with the tegra 5 (logan) and support it with about 2GB of ram, 32 and 64GB internal memory, 32GB expansion, an 11+ MP camera (more on camera later), 720p 4.3" display (1280x720) with an 16:9 aspect all on samoled plus (approx. 341PPI)(read the LITI technology part), and slap stock 4.0 android in it.
i'm envisioning a near borderless, stylish, phone...maybe blue on the backing?
now the fun part...add-ons:
a 3 prone clip-on optical lens for camera (just press n turn fashion)
a slim, foldable, keyboard that plugs into the usb (removable)
a "controller" dock the the phone sets into and gives a playstaion controller like feel with the phone in the middle
lapdock? (thanks moto...)
more to come, but that's my idea of things...

able to Launch ios, android and wm7

Motorola Milestone 2?

atrix w/ defy protection would be perfect for me

The batphone! Can't get better than that!

Galaxy S III Discussion

Hello everyone, this thread will serve as a discussion for the upcoming Galaxy S III which is expected to be previewed at MWC in February.
Here's some of the specs that most of us can expect:
Exynos Quad-Core CPU
Super Amoled HD Screen (1280 x 720) - however, we don't know if this will use Pentile or RGB
ICS (of course)
4.65 screen size
3D capable?
2GB of RAM
A new version of TouchWiz - TouchWiz 5?
One of the big things that I hope Samsung really changes is - its build quality. I really hope they consider changing from plastic (and yes I know the plastic is VERY durable) to a more premium feel such as aluminum. There were some rumors that the SGS III would ditch plastic, but we'll have to see.
So, this thread is open to discussion on what you guys would like to see in the GSIII, and what you guys are expecting. Feel free to give me suggestions to add on to the list, and please no flaming/trolling.

I would like the see al the features from above, but no 3D, a friend of my has a 3D phone and it realy sucked

I vote for "No 3D" too. I guess (hope) they are bringing separate 3D model to the market.
I like the build of the SGS2. I wish they get rid of the hardware buttons and make the bezel as thin as possible.

- Holographic keyboard as shown in the iphone 5 rumor vid
- mind reading UI so to open apps and type with use of hands
- laser beam gun to blast anyone that dares to defy

I totally agree about the 3D thing. I would not like to see 3D on the next Galaxy S III. Thanks for the replies guys

Yea, I'm sure it'll have one. They better not pull a Nexus on us!

Not worried about 3D, but the 4.65" HD screen is a must, as is a return to the Wolfson sound chip (or non-Yamaha at any rate).
I'd like some metal in the build too, but I doubt it'll happen, Samsung seem to be determined to go down the thinner-the-better road.

I want to see these improvements:
- Wolfson or better sound chip
- No more color banding
- No more yellowish on left screen
- No more dirt between the gorilla glasss and super amoled++
- Next generation of Super Amoled ++?
- Much much longer battery juice
- Dual hot swappable battery
- HD resolution at least 1280x800
- No bigger than ~4.0-4.5"
- No hardware button except power and volume
- Thinner and lighter
- Thinner screen bezel
- Scratch-proof back border(material like the plastic on the back of SGS2 is welcome)

Suggested features
Should finally be able to make coffee.
Dual boot Windows 8 ARM.
Auto-encryption for homemade porn in the camera app.
E-ink display.
A 17y/o Korean lugging an optic fiber cable for connectivity instead of wifi.
Compact Flash card slot.
Myspace integration.
Crank loaded processor.
Virtual Boy cartridge slot and Powerglove support.

I'd love to see a wake up lag of 3 secs so anyone could feel the quad proc rumbling up, just like a Cummins diesel.
Every time I see the Sensation XE snapping when I press the power button it makes me want to choke a dev near me ( though they are innocent and never stated the wake up lag comes from the proc waking up).

LOL, this I'd love to see

- Better camera quality. No framerate dips. No white balance problems. Usable HD resolution (why do you want FullHD if picture is full of noise and not very sharp).
- No yellow tint.
- No smudged pixel areas with a different saturation value only overcomed with high levels of brightness, a lot like the yellow tint.
- Better battery.
- Dual Core Cortex A15 better than Quad Core Cortex A9.
- PowerVR GPU.
- No 3D screen.
- Super AMOLED HD Plus (that is, RGB matrix instead of PenTile), 1280x800.
- White color case from the beginning.
- Continue with the plastic-crystal fiber mixture instead of going metal.
- MicroSD slot LVMed with the internal storage. You always can do a copy to a bigger SD card or same card size to maintain the LVM integrity. That would mean some more managing options on kies for Windows users.
- 2 GB of RAM.
- 32 GB of internal storage.
- Ice Cream Sandwich.
- Quicker updates, not months later.

Better sound quality/ loudspeakers would be a welcome!

I agree with some of your suggestions but how can you possibly want a SGS3 to be thinner and lighter this phone is already thinner and lighter enough.
As regards having an aluminium back in theory it sounds good however should you happen to drop your phone it will most likely smash to bits which is why i suggest keeping the plastic back, remember this video folks, the reason the SGSII didn't smash half as much as the iPhone is because of the plastic.

All of these would be nice:
- Ability to remove a soggy biscuit from my cup of coffee
- MTP support for OS X (if that's even possible?)
- Two SD card slots
- Solid aluminium back/side (Apple would sue)
- Remove the stupid voice thing when you double tap home button
- Ability to choose whether you want stock Google or Sammy rom
I've never had any yellow screen problems, is it a particular batch or country that got it?

Yes, it's possible. There's a library called libmtp that must be compiled for Mac OS X. On GNU/Linux is ready to install from the repositories of your distribution.
Samsung just should help developing that library giving patches with code for their devices.

Probably a Droid 4 running completely stock ICS. Add a 1280x720 RGB (non-pentile display, but keep it 4"). Make it a bit thicker and put a ~2500mAh battery in it. Make it a world phone. Support USB OTG.

More 5 inch devices.
Bigger screens without overly crazy specs, but not outdated-tier budget devices.

My dream smartphone:
* 5.5 inches screen without bezels (or very minimum)
* 720p resolution super AMOLED (non-pentile) - I think 1080p is overkill
* no front facing buttons just the screen without brand label to make it still pocketable
* 8mp camera that takes 1080p videos, image stabilisation, great night mode + flash
* mini-HDMI out, micro USB port, 3.5mm earphone jack located in lower right corner
* minimum of 8gb internal memory, micro SDXC card support (up to 128GB+)
* battery life that lasts at least 3 days with heavy use
* quad core with an OS and loads of apps that fully utilises/supports it
* does not have to be thin if it can have more battery and better camera sensors
* full desktop mode that can replace my laptop
* apps that will replace Microsoft office and my HD video editor
* plug in peripherals (detachable) that will add gaming buttons, keyboards, touchpad
* PS Vita quality games that can be mirrored to HDTVs
PS: it should also cure cancer

HTC Droid DNA

I'm going to buy my next phone off contract because I want to keep my unlimited data. This one will have to last a while since I"m going to be buying off contract. This may be the phone I've been waiting for. I'm excited about the camera, the headphone amp, the improved performance.
I did wish it had a bigger / removable battery. I love my super amoled plus display contrast / black level. I wonder how the super lcd 3 stacks up.

May want to go for gnote2... It is older so cheaper, and it has special software unlike the dna, which is treated like an oversized phone (software wise) rather than a phablet. Also the battery is a weak ~2000mAh which won't last long on a screen of that size and resolution. In comparison the gnote2 has a 3100mAh battery, only 200 smaller than razr maxx (and hd).

If I were you I would get the GS3 super cheap. Yeah its a couple of months old, but cheaper, and nothing is significantly better. Unless you can handle the large sized of the Note 2, then I would recommend that. Too many personal requirements not met on the DNA, although the screen sounds amazing, battery will be an issue.
GS3 has the familiar Samsung atmosphere, tons of development (ICS TW, JB TW, AOSP, CM10), great battery life, good radios, a great screen, good camera (especially leaked 4.2).
It has a lot going for it and I think it would be by far the most cost-effective for an off-contract purchase.

Thanks for the advice guys. The non-removable battery and small (and non-expandable memory) has caused me to rethink this purchase. Also it would be nice to keep the awesome contrast of AMOLED). Really my Charge is good enough for what I use it for. Note 2 looks nice except it is physically too big. I really liked the camera on the DNA and the headphone amp. For my next phone:
Must have:
1) Minimal shutter lag on camera (and better low light)
2) Not significantly bigger than Droid Charge
3) Better battery life (removable battery)
4) Better non-mobile enabled web browsing / video streaming.
5) Upgradeable storage
6) quad core plus 2G ram, lol.
7) Better screen (btw I'm thinking 720P/1080P might be more noticable on pentile screens).
The longer I wait, the better the phones get...

I've been contemplating the Droid DNA as well to replace my Droid Charge... and my mom has 2 (dumb phone) upgrades which she'll allow me to take one of :good:
From your list:
1) I tested the Droid DNA's camera in a Verizon store. Seemed like I was able to take 2 pics per second. With Droid Charge it seems like 1 pic per 2 seconds.
2) It's a bit taller than the Charge, but also a 0.7" larger screen!!
3) People are reporting that the DNA's battery life really isn't that bad. As-is I normally charge my Charge after 14 hours. With normal usage it might be ~30% average at that point. I'd bet with the same usage on the DNA would net me 50%+ left. To me a non-removable battery isn't a deal-breaker.
4) I imagine this would be easier with a larger/higher res display like on the DNA?
5) Sucks that they're taking away removable storage on many/most of the latest phones. I doubt this trend will discontinue. Also sucks that the DNA has > 12GB of useable space.
6) DNA performance will absolutely DESTROY the Charge... I can't even imagine going from 1GHz/single core and 512MB to 1.5GHz/quad core and 2GB!!!
7) Any of the good phones released in the last 6 months should have a better screen than the Charge, I'd think.
Another point I've been mulling over in my head for switching away from the Charge: Android 4.xx............ there are some things I want to do with my phone related to my Nexus 7 car head unit that can't be done with any OS prior to ICS. And of course ICS is far superior to Gingerbread, even with dwitherell's excellent work (which I still need to update to 3.1)

I am leaning to the Note 2. I think that the Note 2 display will be nice since I thought the DNA looks washed out.

When the iPad 3 came out, they had to upgrade the battery so much, and the screen caused so much power drain, that it took about 8 hours to charge the thing. Just the fact that it has to drive the 1080p resolution will make it use more power.

The One X is 4.7" at 312 ppi (720p, or 921,600 total pixels). The DNA is 5" at 440 ppi (1080p, 2,073,600 total pixels). That's more than double the total number of pixels. The difference ends up being massive in terms of raw pixel count, which also contributes greatly to the battery usage.

So I went to Verizon yesterday and looked at the DNA and the Galaxy Note 2
O my god......
Which ever one I can get a better deal on in Jan. Or Feb. From swappa will be my new phone ....
N2 is the one I really want ..

I wish the DNA had the battery life of the note 2. I have big hands so the note wont be too bad but my friends will laugh. But hey, who needs friends right?

I have heard from multiple people that the screen on the DNA doesn't look like a screen but a sticker (meaning printer quality images)

300 dpi is print quality, so anything over that is going to look really good, without viable pixels. Screen tech has come a long way. When I switched from the charge to the N4, I almost **** my pants.

[Discussion] What would be your ultimate smartphone? i.e, design a handset using only

So folks, my first topic
As the title say's, design your ultimate handset...using hardware available to date..
Go....

I prefer a smart phone which will never come on earth.
Android version : 12.3.4 (apple cake)
Inbuilt memory : 32 gb
Rom : 10 gb
Camera: 20mp primary , 5 mp secondary.
For now its enough, later i demand for much more(just kidding).
Goog thread i say:thumbup:

basically the GS4 but a 4k screen (will have to be closer to 5" then) with S pen and 8 GB of ram plus 128 gb built in micro sd micro hdmi and mhl wireless charging dual band wifi plus a qwerty, a huge ass battery maybe 10000mah, some awesome speakers, a 3DS type glassesless 3d display 2 awesome cameras on the back (galaxy camera, lumina 920, etc), 2 normal (for back) cameras on the front 8/16 mp, and ruggedized. It'd be brick like but awesome
actually maybe make a version with only 5000mah and no keyboard for slimmer profile

The design of a HTC One, but a 15mpx back camera, 8mpx front camera, 64gb internal memory and i've heard about MeRam, wich can reach 128gb, it will be really amazing, and I think it's a future not so far!

I'm sorry but are you daft?
It already is 5", and it can already handle 4k media, but having it on a 5" is completely useless... in fact even the 1080p display is an overkill.
8gb RAM for what, exactly?
10'000 mAh battery would be bloody fantastic though
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

I thought the gs4 was slightly under 5" whereas the world's smallest 4k display was slightly over, also not thinking to straight size wise
The 8gb of ram would be nice to have for having apps open, I find my transformer can get bogged down pretty quickly with only 1gb and stuffs starting to come with 2gb so to future proof instead of the 4 next year or 2015 go for the 8 of 2016/2017
Actually it'd be much more useful for running the arm based versions of desktop oses
1080p isn't overkill at 5" it's just not really worth it. You can notice the difference between 1080p and 720p maybe even between 1080p and 900p but except some people with penile displays no one is complaining about 720p. The idea is that now you could get some giant magnifying thing to turn it into a 4k tablet sans touch
And I just realized I forgot a pico projector
And while I'm at it let's through in some laser pointers (one of each color currently available) along the top on the side of the ir blasrer
Does it have a barometer? Also let's add a retractable antenna. Also radio and TV tuners wireless charging and let's through in a full sized usb port and make that mini hdmi full size
The real reason for 4k over 1080p is the 3d
Also it needs to be capable of being really bright, and have 2 rear and 1 front led camera flashes along with satellite phone capabilities plus all band gsm, lte, and cdma built in
Maybe throw in some emp protection like all offline parts being shielded in an internal Faraday cage
All the usbs have to be 3.0 of course maybe add a mini usb for compatibility with other chargers. Actually add a proprietary 100pin connector that supports accessories like an apple 30 pin or lightning bolt adapter or an ethernet port or a tazer or a hand crank charger or basically anything you could ever use or want plugged into your cell phone. Also it should charge through motion like the ecodrive watches and through heat like being in your pockwt
Also have them use parts designed to be able to be replaced or upgraded (still soldered for space reasons)
Also let's add 2 more audio jacks and make all 3 capable of being headphones & mic, mic, line in, line out, guitar amp and combined surround sound audio
At thus point this thing pry cost near the millions so let's add a Kingston lock port
Oh and the keyboard is red back lit
Also this needs a military grade radio and it's now a super classified cia device thread closed
Oh and the screen has that fluid tactile thing that's been prototyped, where the screen can actually form bumps and buttons and stuff
I almost want to add some wheels and a retractable rotor and make it capable of driving and flying back to you if lost but that's probably a 100pin add on
Also give this thing a super vibrator like in the it crowd but capable of being set much lower

The 'OrangePhone'
Here's mine:
Nvidia Tegra 3 Processor
1GB RAM
4.7" 1080p Super AmoLED Screen with Gorilla Glass
Android 4.2 (Stock)
12MP Back Camera with 1080p video
2MP Front Camera with 480p video
WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, Notification Light, GPS
And a design like a Nexus 4!

e-ink and battery
The best will be smartphone with 2 screen - 1 standard and second e-ink. Reading e-books on classic lcd is very tiring and battery killer. All simple things I could do on e-ink.
And when will be made baterry that can work 2 weeks without charge? Battery is weak link of smartphones...

Any Jelly bean android phone with a battery life of 4 or more days

A phone with a 4 inch screen, its outside would be made by carbon fiber. It would have 4 cores, 2 ghz, 6gb ram, dual boot(android and windows pc version)... It would be controlled by mind u wouldnt have to touch it. It would have 200 mpixels as the 1st camera and 20 on the secondary. Battery would last for about a week with hard core gaming, and it would be even tougher than nokia 3310

i must be aware of not falling asleep reading these features. I want a fullHD mirasol display with neonode touchsceen and fullHD microvision laserprjector...and of course open source...sw is enough

A phone that walks itself to the electric point, gets itself plugged in and charged when battery is low..

A nexus phone made by HTC,with sound boost speakers, 5 ultrapixels camera(bigger than 4 both in resolution and size),removable battery,64gb option,sd card slot,3 buttons layout,same screen as on htc one,a 4000mah battery

Ultimate is something like the last one.
Since releasing of smartphone is not ultimate.
So if there any last smartphone(no chance)then that would be my ultimate Smartphone(no chance)

Something like:
4.8 inch screen
battery life for heavily use - 16 hours!!!!
6GB RAM - the more RAM is better
1080P resolution with 500 PPI
Included FM radio
Great audio quality!!!!!
Great photos quality!
Quad Cores and lighting fast performance!

For now u have smartphone of these features,but no ram of "16 GB"
