New phone? - General Questions and Answers

I currently have a x10 mini pro which I've got pretty tierd of.. its simply to small for me. I'm thinking of buying a Galaxy s2, is there any other phone that is like the s2 that you can recommend?

Motorola Defy with Cyanogen-Mod!
Best is - it also runs under water

u can try motorola atrix...

If you want a new phone right now, The galaxy s2 is the best bet, theres also the sensation, and the atrix. However, if you can wait a little bit, the nexus prime is supposed to be coming soon.

yeh,Galaxy s2 is good.
if you want to pursue cost-effective, you can buy xiaomi phone m1,it's new,and strong

hows the battery on galaxy s2? nexus prime looks nice

Although s2 16.5 mAh battery, but still a lot of power, should buy two batteries

Samsung just released a 2000 mAh battery that barely adds to the thickness at all. Might wanna check that out.

maybe 2000mah battery is a good choice,Provided that you do not worry about the thickness

I'm looking at getting the Xperia Neo myself. A little cheaper than the Arc and most other top models and comes with a pretty good camera from what I can see.
Only issue would be I have an X8 at the moment and Sony dropped support quickly so I don't know if that would stop you buying from them again.

You can try with Arc but it's a little expencive. My favorite phone is arc ^^ , but however i have an x8 and im happy

Ordered a samsung galaxy s2 it was between that and the sensation. we will see if I did the right choise^^

New Phone Help

I'm not a pretty good writer so i'll just copy a post I did earlier today
Currently I have a Samsung Wave, Bada OS is basically unbearable currently. I'm interested in Android and I tried a Galaxy S. Thinking of buying this phone, somebody told me to always buy the newest phone so I can have the phone for a longer while. As in I change my phone a lot. This phone has everything I need, and it's currently better than the Wave. And it sits right in my budget. The problem is that my next phone I promised myself to keep it for 2 years without changing it, kind of a deal lol. Will this hold for 2 years ? Or should I wait for something better ?
Knowing I won't buy a phone until October/November. And this will be my first Android phone since I don't want to buy any other OS, already tried them all.
Thanks!

My price range is equal to 350 EUR, should I buy a Galaxy S or maybe another suggestion. Maybe the Xperia Neo ? I'm dying
And the problem with new phones is they're expensive, I don't need dual-core or a 4"+ screen and all that price-raising unnecessary stuff. If anything's bigger than 3.6", and a clear screen. And a nice camera and high quality music.
Thanks!
Galaxy S
Honestly i love the Galaxy S unbelievably adaptable and well supported on this forum
Thanks, man
I also wanna know if there's any other similar phones. What do you guys think of Xperia Neo ? And if there's any better phones on my budget please tell me about them.
Thanks!

[Q] which handset to buy

hello guys i need your help in selecting a new android superphone here in my home city samsung galaxy s2 , htc sensation ,motorola atrix all three are available at same price , by the way galaxy s2 has USB OTG and HDMI built in but HTC sensation lacks those features. guys please suggest. Thanks in advance
Sgs2 or atrix. Both have their pluses and negatives. Sgs has better looking but atrix have higher resolution. Atrix also gets better battery life and probably gps locks. Audio internal and externally should be better on atrix. A lot of features sgs2 has are better or comparable. You should try and test both to be sure. Id be hard pressed though to get a phone as thin and screen as big as sgs2. I can't wait to see what the 4,5" screens look like with out button s. Hopefully they'll be same size as atrix.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
Suggest you read reviews on GSMArena. Try them out in person. Heard Sensation's battery is not too great, but that seems to be typical of HTCs. Have no idea on SGSII. Personally I own a Desire, and love its build quality.
SG S2, using right now and really love it, a little bugs but it all ok
Samsung Galaxy S2, period.

S2 vs Xperia S vs One S vs One X vs ?

Hi,
I've got big troubles to replace greenish screen at my S2, so I decided to sell it, also my old SGS will be sold. And I want something new, with S2 speed, but honestly I don't know what to buy... I don't wanna wait for S3.
My favs:
- Xperia S - great design, screen (I know about yellowish screen at some models, but I will check it before buy) and performance. No ICS for now, and weak support (custom roms etc)
- One S - I don't know... I little bit tune up Sensation, price not revelant to performacne
- One X - love design of white one, great CPU, but quite laggy. And it's quite big, I really don't know about it...
For now, Xperia S is the winner, but I'm still thinking about One X... Maybe is big, quite laggy, but I think I can live with that size and I hope that in matter of days some devs will cook great non laggy rom.
Any advice? What would do you buy from those three, or maybe something else? I want android, no apple, no WP
Cheers
in my point of view, i prefer Xperia S
GNEX FTW
Ok, I ask on other forums and read about those three and for now I think I will decide to One X. But first I must take it into hands, I'm not quite sure about size... Second choice is Xperia S
Sony Ericsson is weak with smartphones (except X10) Get a HTC
S2 is a sure value
SGS II
I think S2 is the best choice.

I will chose s2 again, because i love this phone and it is so good and as you say it is fast. One X i realy good phone, but I would rather wait s3 and then see what to buy. Happy shopping
I would say HTC one S. Cheaper and better sized than one X, still provide decent power.
Closed, please post in proper section

Galaxy 54? You mean S4 or S4 mini? I used to own Galaxy S1 which was wonderful phone, and now I own the One mini. Personally I regret the move to HTC... The build quality isn't as good as Samsung and HTC have restricted software development for this device, while Samsung devices have a very good development base here on XDA. In theory the One mini is a nice phone but compared to Samsung I don't feel they can compete.
I hate to say this because I want to see the fan base for this phone to increase, but if I could turn back time I would of gone for the Samsung S4 mini.
HTC is starting to slip and it seems they don't really care anymore about their phones.
I've only had my phone for 3-4 months and already things are starting to break. My micro USB port has worn loose, and many others have suffered cracks in the plastics. I'm on a 2 year contract and can't see my phone lasting the full term. Yet my old Galaxy S1 is still working great after 3 years intensive use.
I will not be touching HTC again once my contract is up. Back to Samsung for me.

I purchased a HTC One Mini to, it's my first HTC and maybe the last. I love the aluminium build but the plastic edge started to have cracks.
Also the 1 Gb of ram really makes it pretty slow sometimes, when switching between apps. I am waiting for the C.M. support.

Waterproof Phone with changeable Battery?

Hi. Using my Motorola Defy for 4 years now, but its just slow, often rebooting, several apps aren't working correct on it... So searching for a new one with this functions:
Waterproof
Changable Battery
4 - 4.5 inch Display, not bigger
Android
Root and custom roms available
I guess I can find this in the Sony Xpera ZR but as its not available in germany I have to bought it from abroad which wo would be ~280€ ~ $380. Thats a lot for a one year old phone, compared with the price I paid for the Defy. Are there any other phones which have all the things I need?
Nobody can help me with this?

I dont believe your going to find a wateproof phone. There are water resistant phones, but water proof cases may be another option. Pretty much the high end phones like the s5, s4, m8, and many others have that option. Check them out.
I think xperia v is the one you looking for
here's the specs and regards of water proof and removable battery I'm pretty sure about the feature

samsung galaxy s5 is waterproof and have an changeable battery
Galaxy S5 is to big, I dont want such a big phone. The Xperia V is more what Im looking for. CPU is slow, that a pitty but at least it will be a lot faster than my Defy. Will try that phone :good:
try Lenovo S750
