Best GSM phone out there ATM.

I'm looking to replace my mytouch 3g. The g2x looks nice. I wanted to ask everyone what they think though. Its gotta be fast and easy to root etc etc. Any ideas? Maybe some links?

The HTC Sensation is coming soon and looks to be head and shoulders above the rest. Samsungs Galaxy S II is going to be a contender too, if you like that sort of thing.

the galaxy s2 is clearly going to rule the roost this year

HD2. To me it is the best deal I have ever made because out of all mobile phones, it can run WM6.5, Windows phone 7, meego, android, and ubuntu and I don't think any other phone on the current market can do that.

I wish I had an HD2

Right now? SGS2, no question. Only problem is getting one.

SGS2 is the clear winner for me. Great screen or even better than the sensation (if the sensation happens to have the same screen as the atrix 4g, then no doubt the sgs2 has a better screen), better battery, better camera is more likely, since HTC has never bothered with their cameras, or speakers/sound in fact. Processor/performance? Well that's hard, sense has never been iPhone smooth, but with a dual core 1.2ghz it could be. On the other hand we know the sgs 2 is iPhone smooth like. The 1gb ram is a plus but i'm sure, with the sensation you wont even use up all of the 700 whatever mb ram, well, unless sense doesn't clog up like 300+mb. For media hogs 16/32 gb versions, ya, pretty sure with another 32 gb card, you can fill your phone up with all the media you want. The sensation only comes with a measely 1gb...
Build quality? Well i'm pretty scared of the sgs2 battery cover, but i'm not gonna let that stop me from buying the best device out there. Personally i don't like the sensation's unibody design. It looks hard to take out and heavy, but some people think the heavier the more premium right?
Oh and last but not the least, maybe the greatest reason as to not, locked bootloader on sensation anyone?
Just my thoughts.

how about with the comming Sony Xperia Pro ?

nexus s vs optimus 2x?

hello! i want to replace my desire hd with another phone.
i am stuck between two models. which should i buyand why?
i know that optimus 2x is more powerfull but, i've seend that nexus s is much faster.

i'm not entirely sure that my opinion is based on anything other than love for my nexus, but yes: NEXUSSSSSSSs

The Nexus S looks faster because it has a way more powerful GPU which directly translates into smoother transitions.
G2x dual core A9 CPU. POS GPU.
Nexus S? Single core A8 CPU. Amazing SGX540 GPU.
In reality? They probably perform the same however stock Android gives the Nexus S the edge, that is until dual cores are "properly supported" in Android (if that even ends up helping, really).
Not to mention Gingerbread was coded for the Nexus S with optimizations for the Hummingbird chipset in mind. And did I ever mention OTA's straight from Google? And Super AMOLED...

Nexus! Only because its a N family member and there will be ton of development for it.

I would get G2X just because it has a dual core so it's more future proof compared to the Nexus even though it will get updates, it's a single core. Also the G2X is stock Froyo also and is receiving the GB update very soon. Also CM has added G2X to their supported list I believe.

2x is a failure, there will be another model out from LG which means it's not going to be supported anymore once new one comes out.
Nexus S is one of the Nexus family so you will get constant updates til you get a new phone.
BTW: what about Atrix?

I don't know about the new LG phone but I heard the atrix is a pos. The LG would probably be better than the Atrix.

isn't the lg 2x built with tegra2 from nvidia?
is tegra2 worse than sgx540?

nexus s, yeaaaay my dream phone

Disire HD is COOL i use hd2 its als realy nice phone you can play arround with multiple option

i think if you have 3 for 1...you just buy an atrix
media center on tv and phone
linux on tv
and android gingerbread on the future
tegra 2 and 1gb amout of ram =) more than other device.....

Just get the Optimus 2X. It's dual core, and it supports games designed especially for Nvidia Tegra 2 phones.

I have had both the Optimus 2x and the Nexus S and I would say go with the Nexus S, the design is better, its faster as it runs Android 2.3.3 on the other hand the LG is running FroYo and it's an SLCD screen and uses ALOT of battery life.
The battery life on the Nexus S is better and would use less battery with the screen as it is AMOLED.
Without a doubt, choose the Nexus S, you would only be dissapointed with the LG Optimus 2x, I traded mine in for a Galaxy S II and it was the best decision I ever made as far as smartphones go.

desire hd is good enough not to swap it with a nexus s.
but when it comes to lg optimus 2x or any other dual core , go for the dual core phones.

nexus s is easy to take care of.

go for nexus s,it has lot of development support

Optimus 2x - HDMI out, miss that feature in my current epic4g
// this message is nonsense 8/8. Hopefully now I can get "search in thread".

I vote for the Optimus (sorry but me as well is just posting for getting to 10 posts)

I love my n1, but the nS is a cheap piece of plastic crap. I really dislike most of Samsung's lineup in fact. Get the g2x and root it. That way u can have dual core and Gingerbread.

not even 720p vs. 1080p video recording
1 GHz vs 1 (dual) GHz
Gingerbread vs Froyo
non removable storage (and only 1 GB for apps) vs. removable storage
Super AMOLED vs Super LCD (I prefer LCD). AMOLED screens aren't exactly the best with whites at all, in fact, they kind of suck with whites (unless it is Super AMOLED Plus, but that is clearly not on the Nexus S).
7.2 mpbs vs. 21 mpbs
Gimmick glass vs. Gorilla glass
HDMI output on the G2x.
I would wait for the HTC Sensation seeing that it actually has decent specs and I kind of want it.
But if you are impatient... Go for the G2x just because it has specs that aren't last gen.

Which smartphone shoudl I buy ?

Hello.
I'm searching for a phone right now.
I'm thinking about buying the G2x but I was wondering if you guys can show me something better ?
I want a fast smartphone, reliable, powerful ?
Budget is unlimited.
Thank you

G2X is a very good phone. But if you're willing to wait a couple of weeks for the Galaxy S 2 to come out you should get that.

Thanks for replying.
The Galaxy S2 will be like.. 4.5" for Tmobile and that's too big for me ;/ !
Like which is better: TMobile G2x, Htc Sensation or MyTOuch 4G Slide ?
I can also consier other phones from tmobile.
I really to buy this tonight !
Thanks

I've read outstanding comments about the MyTouch 4G Slide. The camera is suppose to be the best there is on any phone. And the audio quality is suppose to be superior. But I myself don't like thick phones, which slide out keyboards make.
The Sensation is definitely better than the LG phone and looks and feels better...to me. But the SGS2 would be the best one to get. I thought for a long time that 4.3" is the biggest I would want to go in a phone. But I gave a Samsung Infuse a good try and found my new maximum size increased to 4.5". It was excellent. The SAMOLED+ and Samsung's thin phones are worth it. You would be glad to have an SGS2. The sound quality will be the best there is and the camera will probably rival the MyTouch 4G Slide. The battery life will be better too.

If you need a phone right now I would pick the Sensation. Mytouch 4G Slide if you really want the camera, but like MartyLK I don't like thick phones.

+1 for Samsung Galaxy S 2.
It might not have the CPU of G2x but it has more RAM and so multi-tasking would be pretty smooth.
Since you have an unlim budget and if you are willing for new models to come out, look for these specs.
1GHz+ processor. 1GB RAM. 4G. Preferably a dual core 1GHz and 1GB RAM.
3D phones have the cool factor. However, I personally don't think they are worth it.u
That's about it.

I would also go with Sensation!

Actually, if it worth it, I can wait for the Galaxy S II.
When is it being relased ?
But 4.5" is not too big ?

I would recommend SGSII as well.
Last time I heard, it has a 4.3" display.

It's out of question. The OP wants a good device. Not a cheap or budget device. Non of the Optimus phones(except Optimus 3D, Optimus Black and Optimus 2X... or rather the expensive models in Optimus series.. ) can run Flash.. as they are all ARMv6.

我觉着吧，htc g14蛮不错的~

I have as u can see LG 2x and device is great, my friend have SGS2 And i can tell u that multitasking browsing net loading apps is the same speed. But LG is so mych better in games(cuz of nVidia gpu) . On sgs2 display is much better and battery managment us also better. U should buy sensation only for looks and sensUI. Thats my opinion

Would you like to buy USED phone?Then you can buy used Senation which is a Dual core,ICS running device.Not only Sensation,but also have some used dual core phone.
OR
You just wanna a MyTouch 4G?Me too currently using MyTouch 4G.I love it..haha.I dont think that you can find Brand New Mytouch 4G.But check eBay first..

Hmmm. I really prefer new ones. I found some for $282... refurb for 238.. But I'd like more suggestions like this phone, can be maded by other brands. I saw Sensation and it costs a bit more.
I saw Galaxy S but I think mytouch 4g is a few better, and galaxy s is a more expensive.

I wouldn't go for a refurbished phone if I were you. I prefer paying a little more and not having to worry about anything.
Maybe you could take a look on a Nexus S (not Galaxy Nexus), all my friends have great experiences with their devices.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Hmmm... Galaxy Nexus S seems to be a nice phone really. But it's a bit expensive than mytouch 4g. Nexus S used is the same price of a Mytouch4g new.
I don't know mobile processors, but the speeds are the same and Mytouch4g has a bit more ram memory (768mb x 512mb), but it has a better screen (S AMOLED vs LCD)
Don't know if high memory is needed, but maybe I'll consider an used nexus s.
Thanks!

Hello,
Personally i would suggest the HTC Incredible S or the Samsung Galaxy 2.
The Incredible S isn't that expensive anymore and with newer software things are working very well. However, it has just a single core 1 ghz processor but the camera and storage capacity are very nice.
The one i prefer is the Samsung Galaxy S2. Because of the new S3, i think that this current device will lower in price and it has a dual core processor!
Good luck,
Greetings Arjan

Personally i would suggest the HTC One S ATM. Beautiful, smooth, aggressive and .. HTC. Good compromise in my opinion

Thanks for your suggestions. I think these phones are still expensive to my wallet. Maybe I'll wait to see if prices will be lower or get the Mytouch 4g. Maybe wait a month to see if prices get lower.

Suggestion of the best android phone?

Hello,
I want to upgrade my phone to high end android (have been using windows mobile 6.5.3 and android 2.3.7 )
so i have looked over some thing like 20 phones and i could not pick one that will i will be able to like my own child .
The problem is mainly since all the phones have the same price, ie,. the htc desire HD have 4,3" display and 1 ghz cpu while the LG optimus 2x have the same 3.4" display but with dual core cpu and over eBay the price is the same for me, so what to choose HTC or a little cheaper LG ?
And that effects all phone so if you pls can you suggest me some phones and a reason why you have suggested them over other phones.
I prefer bid displays over 4.0" and thin around ~10mm
I am asking since i will buy a phone which will stay with me over several years before i will choose to replace it,
(got stack with Moto Defy with 3 year contract - and its bad .. very bad... )
thank you for any help.

HTC for sure. I believe them to be second best to Samsung phones at this point. All you have to do is look at user reviews.

I would definitely go with a dual core and I would agree that HTC is better than LG. If your going to play any graphic intensive games you definitely need a dual core processor with at least 1G of RAM. A quad core processor is the way to go if your outside the U.S.

i have tried to search for the best option . like the HTC HD2 which developers just can't get enough of it.
but the phone is old, Galaxy s 1 is way too expansive for a 2 years old phone, and the HTC is a general expensive device.
So i could find only the LG Nitro which is a good phone for its $ .. $470 for a 4.5" HD with dual core cpu and 10mm thick, can't find any thing better..
HTC are mostly fat devices and i can't see any reason why but the thin cost as double as $550 .. and onlt 480-800 res. while the LG is
around 1280x720 res.
see my problem?
Besides it all the phones run Android so there is not problem modding it , and the Nitro have Cyanogen 9.0 support so it should be solid for a while.

Have you heard about mi-two? Google for it to find more information. Generally it looks awesome with 4 cores clocked at 1,5GHz, Adreno320 GPU, 4,3" IPS display with ~340dpi (30% more the iPhone4S) and great battery capacity. The only problem is that it might not be easily available outside China. But if I will be able to get one I will do it without thinking much about it.

The Optimus 2x is a 4 inch 800x480 screen, not 4.3
Anyway, due to ****ty support from LG, prices for it have absolutely tanked.. It's now available from $200-300 outright.
The good news? ICS is coming out very soon for it (rumored). Apparently it's in the testing stage.
So might be a very cheap way for you to get a fairly high end dual core for stuff all money.

Xiaomi mi-two $550 preorder now on eBay. it will be cheaper for me to GS III OR HTC ONE X i just don't like these devices - gs iii due to plastic and htc one x due to 16 giga with out micro sd card memory while i use around 40 giga on a phone.
any way i just thought you could suggest me a device and a reason why it is better then LG and so far i see that they are non, i never saw a company which give any support for a phone... so i am not looking for support .
Any way thank you all i have decided to buy the LG device the Nitro - looks great and cheaper then most devices. btw LG is also manufacturing Apple and Samsung mobile parts so i can't see why it should be worth quality.

Buy HTC One X. It is a really cool phone !!!
