2011 Devices

Well I decided to compile a list of things to watch for in 2011, I have also included a poll so please vote!
1) Motorola Xoom
2) Motorola Atrix 4G
3) Droid BOINC by Motorola
4) Sony NGP
5) HTC pyramid
6) Samsung Galaxy S2
7) LG Optimus 2x
8) LG Optimus Black.
9) HTC Desire 2
10) LG Optimus
The Sony NGP already caught my attention because of its overkill specs:
5 inch OLED capacitive touchscreen
4 core ARM Cortex-A9 processor
4 core SGX543MP4+ graphics processing unit
Rear touch pad
A front camera and a rear camera
Stereo speakers, and a microphone
GPS, Wi-Fi, 3G, and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR connectivity
Sixaxis motion sensing system (three-axis gyroscope, three-axis accelerometer), three-axis electronic compass, built-in dual analog sticks, 1 D-pad, a set of standard PlayStation face buttons (Triangle, Circle, Cross and Square), two shoulder buttons (L and R), a PlayStation button as well as Start and Select buttons
Any other devices you people are anticipating, post below and let me know, I will then update the list. Also please include links.
I will shortly add specs and pictures(if available) to the list.

Which one?

I plan on selling my Glacier and getting the Pyramid when it is released...if it's worthy. So far the rumors sound good. 4.3 inch screen, 960x540 resolution, 1.2Ghz dual core Snapdragon, HSPA+. Can't wait.

Neither can I. It might just replace my HD2, but I think I have become to attached to my HD2 to sell it or anything.

I see you left off the LG Optimus 2x(my next phone) and the LG Optimus Black. Both arriving soon.

Updated the list

HTC Pyramid will replace my Vibrant if it actually does end up on T-Mobile. I was going to go with the Optimus 2X, but I'm not sure how good LG is about Android updates. HTC has already proved themselves.

HTC Desire 2 and LG Optimus 3D are comming out aswell
The Pyramide might be my next phone if the specs annouced are true.Was about to fall for the Atrix but seing the dock price ....But anyway i m pretty happy with my desire HD for now so i can wait a couple of month if it is to get a beast
And HTC gives us the damn gingerbread update already

updated, if we get enough devices i will add a poll and see what people want.

I'll be snatching up a LG Optimus 2X day one, probably! Can't wait for it's US release.

I plan on selling my Nexus One and getting the HTC Pyramid as soon as it arrives!

I cant wait for my next upgrade!

I simply love Samsung device

it is gonna be the Pyramide if it is comming in beginning/mid Q2 and of course the NGP on holidays season unless there are news of the PS4 by the end of the year

Nice, I want a Atrix but i cant afford one. so im currently trailing a HD2 purely for its flexibility and community

I can't wait to play with a xoom, looks so much better than an ipad!

I cant wait for the htc inspire to be released... it will be my 1st android phone WHOOO!! cant wait..

htc evo 2 i guess or sprint iphone 4

Why is the NGP on this list? It has nothing to do with phones, tablets, or any of the OSes represented on xda. That said, it looks incredible, and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

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.

Gaming device?

What is the best HTC phone for gaming n with great sound quality n hardware specs. I want to buy a new HTC phone. Help,need the perfect one.

I'd have to say the Evo3D.

HTC sensation 4G , i think too

If you use emulators use the mytouch 4g slide for the keyboard, but the above said good choices.

For emulators the only choice is the Sony Android phone on Verizon. Virtual D Pads are awful IMHO.

but he would be better with dual core device though, we know a Sony Play 2 is imminent as always, but the games will get more advance, and the adreno 220 in the 2X core phones is 4X as faster than 205 in the Play and other Snapdragons and up to 8X faster than the Neuxs one. But honestly I might wait though, since HTC is planning a 1.5+ 2X Core phone around Q4 this year, it might be best to wait for something else though. You know ice cream sandwich is around the corner and I'm sure games will be better @ 720P instead of qHD or WVGA.

Lg optimus 3d 2 (cx2)

The replacement for our P920 is very close,
Running a OMAP 1.2GHZ Soc.
1.3 forward Camera
and 2mm thinner.
Check out the link below
http://www.slashgear.com/lg-cx2-optimus-3d-2-teased-in-press-photos-23210380/

yeah saw it here:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-C...ging-back-3D-to-the-mainstream-at-MWC_id26181
i seriously doubt the specs though....its very similar to our phone....it should be a bigger improvement imo

Yeah, take a look at the optimus x3 Hardware. (Comming with ICS)
So why should i buy the 3D 2 with GB which is so simliar to the 3D?
Gesendet von meinem LG-P925 mit Tapatalk

gotta ask a question here....if the hardware was similar enough....would it be possible to use its rom on our phone(just an idea came to my mind) if yes then its ok if it came with similar specs since we are gonna benefit from it

Seems like same omap just overclocked.

Who in the WORLD would buy another LG phone? Worst support ever, no updates, no developers, nothing?
It doesn't matter if it got the best hardware, we have no developers for our phone and I would DOUBT that the next generation would.
Go for a samsung. The 9100 is better than our phone in every way. The next Galaxy S3 will be better than the next O3D in every way.
Developer = Everything.
Just a heads up, the next generation of smartphones will have quadcore. And LG goes for a... dualcore? Smart..

If the upgrade is worth it I'll definately buy the new O3D and by worth it I mean quadcore, 1GB+ ram, higher res cam, bigger and/or higher res screen.
If the upgrade is not worth it I'll just stick with my O3D until probably the end of the year because I'm absolutely satisfied with my problem free phone (no lag at all ever, no performance issues, no instability, no signal loss, no reboots, no battery problems).

Even if LG releases an... 8core with 4GB+ RAM and fullHD screen and all the most advanced hardware in the world, it will mean nothing if they don't decide to seriously optimize the software for it.
I mean we got one of the best Android phones, regarding the hardware specs, on the market today. It's simply unacceptable that sometimes the phone lags even on simple tasks or that the with the GB update many people are noticing ghost phone calls/texts and loss of connectivity, just because the LG engineers didn't properly test/optimize the software.

We have just to developers. When you look at thread of i9100 you can see at least 10 developers working on roms. AND they are getting ICS lot earlier.
We have Thiaiz who is really great but he has to work with reallly bad LG software.

Don't ever forget that those ICS ports on other devices comes from leaked ICS builds from manufactures. If LG leak an early ICS build I could develope it, but there is LG problem, they don't do like others and they don't care about their customers. So let's wait for ICS in September.

Sup mate, how r u doing? I don't think either, but this is the only way we gonna taste ICS on O3D before October.

Cant we port ICS from phones who have a similar chipset e.g Galaxy Nexus

Sorry the new 3D phone from LG is nothing more than a recycled optimus 3D just made thinner. I doubt that it would have serious improvements compared to the optimus 3d.
And seriously GB on release no thanks. If the new sony xperia S were a bit sooner there I would get it.
For the moment I just got my hands on a brand new Galaxy Note N7000 in ceramic white and hope to be happy with it for the next time.
So I am saying goodbye to LG after 2 optimus phones (2x and 3d).
The optimus 3D is a serious device. It can do everything but the only feature that is really its territory is the 3D display and camera which I find superb.
I am going to miss shooting in 3d .

I have a coworker in the same situation, he is selling his O3D for buying a galaxy note. Got tired of waiting for the empty promises by LG. The only reason I still have my O3D is 3D functions, I love them.

After the x2 and now the O3D the x3 will be my next lg device. I'm happy with Lg, didn't use their crap software much but lg, why didn't get the O3D 2 the Same Hardware as the x3? I think i will miss the 3D but theres no reasen to buy the O3D 2 if you have the O3D

They haven't done anything with the O3D1 yet, why bring out an O3D2 so soon?

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 !!!
