What phone should i buy from this: atrix 4g, galaxy s2, sensation, optimus 3d?
What other phone you recomand me?(no evo 3d,is to expensive).
Which is the coolest phone?
Depends
It depends on what you are looking for. Of those mentioned, I like the Sensation and the Galaxy S2 the most, with the edge going to the Galaxy S2 because of its processing power, improved Touchwiz UI, and it's screen. The Sensation is a close second, less ram, great dual core processor [especially with the Revolution HD rom by mike1986], and a higher res screen than the Samsung. LG is just not a solid contender for me, they need to be along a while longer and have some phones that do very well with consumers before I trust them, and the Atrix 4G has that pentile screen and slightly laggier UI that I have not really like. If you are looking for the ability to have a full netbook style device with you on the go, the Atrix 4G wins of course because you can attach it to a laptop dock.

should i got for the desire HD with its poor battery life but blazing performance,
the galaxy S that feels like a toy and hope froyo (not in UK yet) fixes its problems,
or buy a desire with its (now) outdated processor but large and probably long lasting community support?
or should i just wait until something the size of the desire comes out with the processor from the desire HD?
only 1 vote and no replies? i feel unloved
It might just be me, but I don't trust Samsung with phones. As opposed to HTC, their phones feel like toys, and although they're sometimes more powerful, they're not supported for very long. Basically, it's bleeding edge (at least hardware-wise) vs quality. And by quality I mean not only build quality but also how long the device is supported for by the manufacturer and what you can do with it afterwards.
HTC phones are usually top-quality devices, the first to get rooted, have the best third-party interface (Sense) which btw can be removed. The Galaxy S phones are powerful, but Touchwiz adds no functionality when compared to Sense (which adds a LOT) and Samsung doesn't have a good track record of updating their phones often. Look at the Behold II. Look at the current US Galaxy S phones. It's the reason I chose an HTC Evo over a Samsung Epic (Galaxy S with a keyboard, dual cameras, and WiMax). On top of that the Galaxy S phones haven't even gotten 2.2 yet here in US and have a number of hardware issues, one being the GPS.
By no means am I saying the Galaxy S phones are bad, it's just that you'd get more out of an HTC device. My mother and sisters own the Samsung Intercept, which is supposed to be the successor to the Moment. It's in fact a downgrade in every way except the keyboard. But I'm not going to go into that. I say wait till Christmas or get a Desire HD.
Well right now I'll choose the Galaxy S phone because it's the best android phone right now but wait because in this times (November, December, January) alot of phones arrive and maybe a better one comes
As I hate the low resolution of AMOLED screens...
Desire HD

Galaxy S
Hi, I'm leaving for college the 17th, and want to get my upgrade before I leave. Originally, I was gunning for the Atrix, but the Pentile Display, Motoblur, and poor software/hardware integration were deal breakers. So, I've narrowed it down to the Samsung Infuse 4G, and the Samsung Nexus S, and might exchange them within the 30 day period if the Samsung Galaxy S II comes out.
I'm just going to list the pros and cons for each, as I see them, and if any of you can provide feedback (especially those on AT&T) that would be great.
Nexus S
+Pure Google/Stock Android
+Will get Ice Cream Sandwich
+SAMOLED
+Community backing
+4" Screen
-1GHZ Cortex A8
-No Guerrilla Glass (don't know if that's a deal breaker)
-Supposed radio problems on AT&T
Infuse 4G
++SAMOLED+
+Battery Life
+Infused ROM provides stock Gingerbread
+1.2GHZ Cortex A8
+Thin/light (helps offset screen size)
+ Guerrilla Glass
>4G, then again this is AT&T
-4.5" Screen
-Might not get Ice Cream Sandwich
I'll use the phone for web browsing, email, messaging, calling, a video or 2 on the go maybe, occasional doc editing/tweaking, apps for weather, news, etc. Not big on the 3D gaming really.
Thanks!
IMO if you list the 4.5" screen as a negative, forget that phone. You'll hate using it and wind up regretting your decision. the NS is a great phone and believe me the processor is not a negative. It overclocks to 1.2, even 1.4 on a good phone with no issues. I have my 4G running 1.2 daily and the phone just FLYS

Yeah, I just listed it as a negative relative to the Infuse, then again, I didn't for SAMOLED vs SAMOLED+...
I've actually never used a 4.5" phone, I just remember thinking it'd be too big for me when I used my friend's and the one on display at the AT&T store (wasn't on though....)
Can anyone speak for the radio on at&t or SAMOLED vs SAMOLED+?
I am currently with Sprint using an HTC Evo 4G. I like it but I do not like the service of sprint nor the slow speeds. I am going to move to ATT with my younger brother and looking at sme phones, but I am at a loss at what to pick. I have narrowed it down to 4 phones.
Samsung Infuse- I like this phone because of the Super Amoled screen the size ofteh screen and the lightweight feel of it.
HTC Inspire- I love HTC's sense UI. Even after using MC7 on my evo I went back to a sense style ROM.
Motorola Atrix- Dock aside I have a friend who has this phone and he loves how fast it is with its dual cores.
LG Thrill- THe only other dual core phone on my list but it is 3D and I am not sold on the idea of 3D just yet. Plus every LG phoen I have had has been bad.
I really only am looking at 2 phones the infuse and the inspire. As I said I realyl like HTC's Sense, and not a big fan of TouchWIz. If it was able to do so I would root the infuse and flash a sense style rom on it but I can not find a sense rom for the infuse. I am really stumped so came here to see if I could get some assistance in picking out my new phone.
If you liked the evo (I love sense) the inspire is pretty much the same phone with the exception of the inspire having more memory.
But personally i wouldnt mind ditching sense for power and going with the atrix. dual core with 16gb of internal memory/ 1gb ram.
ULP GeForce GPU <--- that would be my deciding factor
1930 mAh battery compared to the 1230 mAh for the inspire.
And its motorola.
Hope that helps
I know there was a similar thread to this topic, but the thread was 9 days old and to me that's a big difference imo. So anyway, I'm stuck choosing either the samsung s2 or the htc amaze (both phones are the tmobile branded fyi) and i really like the build quality of the amaze and i heard the camera is better the s2 but i like the processor on the s2 even though the amaze has the same thing but the speed is almost similar and both of these phone way faster than my current phone (iphone 3g lol) and the screen of the s2 looks great but the amaze screen has more pixels. So right now i some advice on which phone is better, and please have some reason with your post, i dont want just a simple answer
samgung GSII is one of the best phones ever made. compare the specs list, look at some user reviews. i don't know the exact specs, so i can't say for why without a possible very large margin of error, but i do know the GSII is a better device.
These questions are always tricky, as much as you would hate to hear it, it comes down to personal preference..
Looking spec wise the processor of the Amaze is slightly faster (1.5ghz dual core vs 1.2ghz dual core) - The memory of the S2 can be exanded whereas I don't think the Amaze can be - Camera/Video quality is the same - Both have NFC support (Which is the next era of technology in my opinion) and the Amaze is being shipped with Gingerbread 2.3.4 I believe..
Sooo If you are looking spec wise and want the latest and greatest I would have to suggest the Amaze, I would prefer the S2 myself because all though it isn't quite as fast 1) I wouldn't notice the .3 ghz difference and 2) I prefer the squarer shape of the S2 as well as it being quite a lot lighter (Amaze=170grams vs S2 = 110grams).. But again that is my personal preference.. Heck I'm saving up to get a Nokia N9 over the S2, that's saying a few things about me.
Hope this has been of use,

im leaning towards the s2 and i was talking about the tmobile branded s2 not the international but thanks anyway
Why do you want the Nokia N9? Looked at the specs, doesnt look way better than the SGSII, am i missing the point?
Here are my thoughts:
-The Galaxy S II has a faster processor, running at 1.2ghz (Dual-Core). Overclockable (and stable) at 1.6ghz using a custom kernel here.
-The Galaxy S II has an AMAZING camera. VERY high quality and life-like. It's great!
-The Galaxy S II has the SAMOLD+ screen, which looks absolutely amazing. Simply put, extremely nice. When displaying the same picture on the Galaxy S II and the iPhone 4, the Galaxy S II just BLOWS the IP4(S) out of the water - not to mention it helps improve battery life.
-You should be safe if you drop the Galaxy S II: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elKxgsrJFhw
I looked at the specs of both galaxy S II and iphone 4s. Seems to me that iphone is much better. I have a captivate myself and plan to upgrade soon as well. If you have time, wait for something better to come along soon near thanksgiving or xmas break.
So I got a Droid DNA the other day because I got it for a good price ($300) and the specs are rockin, however, I'm not quite falling in love like I thought I would. I was highly considering a LG Optimus Vu P895 before this phone and seriously considering returning/selling this DNA and going with the Vu like I had originally planned.
Problem is that I'll be going from a S4 Pro and 1080p screen to a Tegra 3 and 1024x768 screen. The plus sides to the Vu though are double the storage space (16GB vs. 32GB - neither phone has expandable storage and I love having music and shows with me) and the 4:3 screen really makes for a nice e-reader and web browsing experience. Plus, despite it's hate, I like having the option of using Flash in the browser on the ICS ROM that the Vu comes with.
See, thing is that I had a Galaxy Note 1 before the DNA and really like the whole "phablet" thing though I have no desire to go back to it's (now) slow dual-core and think that while the Tegra 3 is showing it's age, it's still a nice CPU/GPU for gaming and what not. Granted, the DNA has a nice 5 inch screen...but it doesn't feel big...definitely not a phablet.
So is it crazy I'm considering downgrading from the DNA to the Vu? DNA is a nice phone, don't get me wrong...I'm just not as blown away as I thought I'd be and really just feel sort of "meh" about it.
Thoughts?
The Tegra 3 is a no-go. The apps are not optimized for this chip and it also tends to overheat badly. S4 Pro is a newer architecture and is a lot better than Tegra 3.
