Which Dual Core phone Is best?

i m going to buy the dual core phone but guys i dont have any idea that which dual core phone is best
i want gaming modding roms camera form phone so please guid me which one is best except latest release of smasung galaxy nexus and motorola razr

Why would you want the next best? Get the Galaxy Nexus.
If you're just about saving a few quid, and assuming you specifically want an Android handset pick up the galaxy s2... spec and performance is not far short overall, in some ways it's better.

HTC range? Seems to havegood support here.

Samsung Galaxy SII

In terms of specs/potential it is Note..in terms of specs/xda support it is GNexus.

REZOUND!
HTC Rezound is my pick.
Dual Core Qualcom MSM8660 with 1.5 GHz, 1GB of RAM and the best thing about the phone - 720P 4.3 Inch Display!!! better pixel density than even the retina.

i think Mi-One is the best choice atm but he's pretty hard to find...

Not enough hardware to drive it

The SGS2. one of the best dual core chips and its going to have ice cream sandwich soon.
The super AMOLED screen is superb too.

SGS II
My friend got one recently and I checked it out. SGS II is really good. It is definitely well equipped to handle ICS if you are interested in flashing CM 9, when the good folks come out with it.

I haven't 100% decided which phone I'm going to get yet either (between Nexus Prime, Razr, and Resound), though I'm leaning towards the Nexus Prime just because I know it will be the most open. I'm more than likely going to want Cyanogen on whatever I get. The Razr, though water and bullet proof, will probably be the most locked down out of the three :/

S2 /lock.

No, thanks, but I'll be getting a N9.

galaxy s2 >>> galaxy nexus

I'm more of an HTC fan myself, who's you're carrier? Are you gonna start a new contract? The galaxy has a very vivid display but it really depends on who you go through on what phone to pick;-)

I'm having a tough time picking between the new RAZR and the SGS II. I guess I'll have to go play with them both again.

GNexus for sure.

I would go for the Galaxy Nexus for sure. It may not have the most ram or the highest MP camera, but it is a high quality build and scores very well in benchmarks.

We'll have to see when the S2 gets a good working ROM though as ICS is fully optimized for dual cores with hardware acceleration.

Best Android phone on the market?

So what is it? I'm switching carriers soon and would like to know who to switch to. I'm really asking in terms of speed, screen clarity, and the overall cool factor.
Also, could you be specific as to why? You know, specs, etc.

No, the best phone out there would be right now the galaxy s2, this is why:
-Exynos 1.2 gHz processor: much better than qualcomm no matter what (surpassed maybe by the S4 or the Tegra 3 but not yet released)
-Better 8 mp camera: The sensors used by this camera are excellent (maybe only surpassed by the iPhone 4S sensors).
-Mali 400 GPU: One of the best gpu existing today in the market only found in a couple of phones (again maybe only surpassed by the nonreleased chip of the MWC)
-Super Lightweight: One of the lightest phone that some may say it feels cheap but dont
-Super Thin: One of the thinnest phone today only surpassed by the RAZR and other unknown phones.
-Super Amoled Plus screen: Wonderful screen with surprising colors that amaze everyone and with its plus technology it makes a more resolution effect although its only 800x480
this would be some of the reasons of why to choose it
here are my two cents hope it helps, thank if i helped

I have to agree here. While I do agree the SII is better (yeah I'm a GNex owner and my butt is a bit hurt from it) I don't see the margin of difference terribly large. The GNex is still an outstanding phone.

how much is "soon"?
If I was in your shoes, I would prob wait for Samsung galaxy S3.

I agree the international version of S2 is the best, the galaxy nexus does have a excellent screen, one of the best noise cancellation to be found on a phone. Top 3 android phones until Tegra 3 hits is Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus, Droid Razr Maxx.

Wait for GalaxyS3

I have a galaxy s and its amazing. I cant wait for the galaxy 3

Sony Xperia S, it's got a 12mp camera. The best in Android

This is 3vo CDMA (sprint) not GSM (tmo, att, or a carrier that gives a sim card)
EVO 3D. Even though 3D code is only for sense 3.0, the 3vo has quite possibly the best selection of rooms I have ever seen. So far we have:
1. AOSP
2. CM7
3. Sense 3.0
4. Sense 3.5
5. Sense 3.6 (work in progress, or wip)
6. Sense 4.0 (wip)
7. Evo view 4g sense (tablet rom on 3vo)
8. ICS 4.0.3 (only issue is camera)
9. CM9 (same as ics)
And maybe more.!
Not to mention our various tweaks, amazing quadrant scores, dual core processor, 1.5 gHz STABLE over clock with good battery life still (we can go up to 1.8 but its unstable and can pretty much destroy your phone), dedicated developers, qHD screen, and soooooo much more. You should check us out
Plus, with the recent hboot downgrade ability, our phone is now "unofficially unbrickable" which means I can do ANYTHING to it and I can restore it. This phone, even with a select number of issues, is by far the strongest competitor in specs, deving, performance, etc.

I feel it is the galaxy note international version (the non snapdragon version) with its 1.4ghz cpu. Granted the new gen of SoC tech will be better than this but as far as current day is concerned I feel galaxy note is the best. Granted some people hate the huge screen and I understand that but the big hi res screen is just too great to me.

Just a couple points. The galaxy nexus doesn't use a Qualcomm processor. It uses a TI OMAP. If the Exynos is better, it isn't by much.
The GPU is a PowerVR which is probably weaker than the Mali but still decent. It runs Grand Theft Auto III really well, which is the most demanding thing I'd ever do on a phone GPU wise.
The screen on the Nexus is also AMOLED but full 720p (1280×720) instead of the 800X480 on the S2. It is pentile but the resoultion is so much higher it more than makes up for it. This is clearly a winner for the Nexus IMO.
Also the real pros in buying a Nexus:
Faster official updates and completely stock ICS (no touchwiz, sense, motoblur, etc)

Xperia nominated?

Sony may not have the most cutting edge tech in their phones, but I know they are polished quite well. It was Sony Xperia S coming with GB, not ICS that held it back in my mind. Any ways it will update eventually. Please check out my thread, its a discussion of a similar manner.

[Q] HTC One X or Samsung S3?

Hi all I currently have a HTC Sensation but due an upgrade in 3 days time. I have always had HTC smartphones but all this hype about the samsung galaxy 3 is making my decision to upgrade difficult. I had a play with a HTC One X and it is truly a nice phone and I do like the Sense 4.0 interface. However all the hype for galaxy s3 (based on rumored spec) appears to give the impression that it will be the daddy of all smart phones, but I do currently own a galaxy tab 10.1 and im not amazed by the TouchWizz UI, but more information online suggests a new singing all dancing revamped touch wizz interface.
What I want in a phone is nice smooth lag free interface, a decent quick snapping camera and video recorder, decent contacts feature oh and the obvious features of course.
Do I upgrade to the one x tomorrow? or hang on and wait for at least the announced specifications of the galaxy s3?

You will get different answers depending on which forum you post in.
Gs3 not out yet though, so if you not sure prob best to wait.
Me personally, I like sense and HTC build quality, which is why I have one x

For me I think I would say BOTH! hehe
Im getting both anyways

me no like sungsung me feel like a toy me feel a cheap plastic me buy a onex!¡

If you have the will power to wait, then wait for the SIII. I'm pretty sure Samsung will look at the specs of the One X and the new iPhone 5 and then release a better spec'd phone. Just like they redid the Galaxy Tab 10.1 after the iPad 2 was announced.

Sammy knows what HTC's offering well in advance to ensure that the SGS3 willbe better. That the problem with being first to market, its not the best it can be (A9 based cuad core for example instead of A15) so its easy to one-up.
Im predicting a cuad core A15 based Exynos chip with updated Mali GPU and non pentile 720p super amoled plus HD screen...
As much as I love HTC and would rather buy their phones, they cant keep the all-around-best status Samsung has with their SGS series. I mean It has been almost a year and there is no phone that has put the SGS2 to shame yet

The S3 might have negligibly better hardware specs but you can be certain they'll still cheap out on the materials. Apple is proof that specs don't mean everything. The overall package is what matters at the end of the day.
It says volumes about Samsung's phones when their flagship Galaxy S series of phone uses the exact same quality of plastic as the €39 Galaxy Europa.

I suggest getting the OneX now. Atleast you'll have a high end phone right away and currently it is the best available phone (except in the camera dept). You should consider the OneS too, it can best the 4-PLUS-1 chip in the OneX in some benchmarks.
THEN after playing around with your phone for around 2-4 months the SGS3 will be available. Have a look at the specs and anything you might want to look at. If you want it then sell your phone and get an SGS3. If you don't want it then keep your Onex.
*That's what I'd do if I were you but I'd be getting the Xperia S for the Pic and Vid quality Different folks different strokes

I would go for HTC One X with better build quality and display !!!

Mid to High Range Phone

I got around $500 bucks to spend.... and in my price range I have 2 options.
Galaxy S2 or the Galaxy Nexus.
I'm not sure which, all i know is my wife who has the Galaxy S2 has a lot of trouble with games, and the Nexus has a powerVR in, slower but more compatible.
S2 or Galaxy Nexus? (i'm not fussed about the 5mp camera on the nexus)
Which is more hackable of the 2 i guess lol or maybe i should wait for the Quad Core Beast from Samsung to drive the prices down a bit more...

If you are willing to get a used phone you have alot more options than just those two phones you mentioned. Look in the marketplace

Depends which S2 your wife has. If she has the T-Mobile one or the AT&T Skyrocket, there's your problem. Those have Snapdragons in them, which suck for gaming. They're not real Galaxy S II's. They're only branded that way to make people buy them. Only the Sprint Epic 4G Touch and the AT&T i777 (Galaxy S II) have the original Exynos chip with the Mali GPU (the one in the real GSII i9100).
If you want a high res display with no microSD slot (16/32GB for GSM/CDMA models respectively) and pure mod-ability, get the Galaxy Nexus. It's pretty good for gaming, but it probably won't handle the next generation of games as well as the GS2. The Galaxy S II has a better GPU and processor, but a lower res screen (which actually means better performance), and 16GB + MicroSD card slot, and a camera that rivals the iPhone 4S's.
They both have great development communities, and all GSII variants are getting ICS officially. (the i9100 already has it). If you want a phone that will 100% get Jelly Bean officially, go for the GNexus.
Gaming/Media-oriented -> Galaxy S II
Pure mod-ability -> Galaxy Nexus
A Galaxy Nexus from Expansys I think is $399, no tax. I know the Google Play store is selling it for the same price, but with tax here in NY that's $450. You should be able to pick up either phone for around $400.

Nexus, without any doubt

You can consider also HTC Sentation XL

try out galaxy nexus.

Although the Galaxy Nexus would be the usual choice, I honestly suggest that you check both phones' Specs carefully.
While Nexus's display is quite nice and it is "more famous" than the S2, in terms of processor or camera, there's no reason not to choose the latter.
Also, you should consider the release of ICS and CM9 for the S2.

One things I'll chime in from my personal experience against the "pure modability" aka Nexus- the best experience I've had with my S2 was on the old, stock ATT rom with the clockwork mod recovery in the stock kernel. All the custom roms I've tried, above all, that the WORST battery life.
So while you'll be able to get more, useless modability out of a Nexus, S2 will work like a champ right out of the box without ANY issues.

Galaxy S III VS Galaxy Note?

Is there really any competition with these phones or does one blow away the other hands down?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App

Well since we have no idea what the official specs of the SGS3 are we can't really say. All we have is rumors, but some of the thing we can be fairly certain about are the exynos quad processor, a 720p screen, an 8-10MP camera,and a screen size ranging from 4.5-4.8". The main difference will be the processor and the screen size. If you want a hybrid phone/tablet the note will be best, if you are looking for pure performance then the S3 will give you the best results. You can't say one will blow the other one out of the water without solid spec sheets and an idea of what you want in the phone.

I am excited for Thursday. I hope that we don't only hear about the SGS3, but maybe some intel on when the TMobile version of the Note will be released.
I am going for the Note. Buying an international version is not an option for me financially, so it rules out these quad-core processors, which are probably not needed right now anyway.
I am still using a TMobile G2, and it does everything I need it to do. It only has 1 core I am sure at like 800 mhz, though I am overclocking it right now due to the fact that it makes it easier to run. Either way, that processor can't be as nice a the Galaxy Note's dual-core 1.5 ghz processor.
Quad cores are just being used in desktop computers really, so it's no surprise that you shouldn't really NEED it for a phone. I don't know the official technicalities to backup my statement, but it seems common sense.
I will look forward to having the GNote specific applications, S pen, and screen real estate. Can't wait!

S3. Only reason to get Note over GS2 is screen/pen. Not worth it imo.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium

Not a fair competition at all. S3 should be compared to phones of the same calibre, like the HTC One X.

im sure someone will do a competition of these two phones. Even whitout the S3 full specs we all know who will win.

Quadcore is more than necessary for me

One phone!

Sent from my PG86100 using XDA

i think the SG S3 will be the same as the Note ( pen included ) but with a 4.6 screen

Each have their pluses and minuses. The GS3 will have the latest and greatest hardware and ICS out if the box, but the Note will have the bigger screen and S-Pen.
But seriously you're considering a phone already 6 months old vs a phone that will just be announced tomorrow. I love my Note and it has worked flawlessly for me, but I know after tomorrow it won't be the best hardware wise compared to the GS3. But that doesn't mean the Note is a slouch at all. The good thing though is I have my work phone with Sprint and my upgrade is June 30, so I may pick up the GS3, so best of both worlds!

IiI can relate to the question I have a gsii and I really lobe the note. I will wait to deer what the new galaxy offers this weekend. I live near the brand new Samsung shop in Westfield next to the Olympic site and they reckon that the should have demo models this Saturday following the event tonight.
I only wish there were a gnote2 being announced. I love the idea of stylus
and big screen.

I have high expectations for GS3. Let's see what they have to offer for us today.
Anyway, I like my GS2 better than Galaxy Note already, so it seams clear to me that GS3 will also be better.

hummm, i like Galaxy S III better.
How do you like HUA WEI Ascend P1
BTW, I'm still waiting for media pad 10 fhd of HUA WEI

There will be quite a big difference according to the specs!
Well we will see at 7pm today
The SGS3 will be more popular than the Note, because the SGS3 is the direct concurrention of the HTC One X, iPhone etcetera.
If a phone gets really popular, you get extra things from the producer, like firmware upgrades etcetera.
Pick SGS3 after 7pm.
PS it is being expected the SGS3 will arive at the stores in approx 7 days

hahaha note vs a quadcore baby doesnt stand a chance find out today at 7:00pm GMT London time
according to leaked specs the s3 will have a 12mp camera a 4412 quadcore processor clocked at 1.5ghz
a mali 400(same as in the s2 just clocked much higher)
a 4.8 inch 720p HD regular RGB matrix not pentile
