Hi Friends,
Recently I lost my Sony Xperia X10i. I'm in the process of claim insurance. Now my question to my friends here - Which android mobile I need to buy. I'm a big fan of Android .
I'm from India, so please suggest me that is available in India. My budget is up to 30K .
Thanks & Regards,
Naresh Kumar
I can say go for Samsung galaxy S Or HTC Desire HD Htc Desire HD Will be available during this month. I 've heard prices will be around 35K But Battery drain is the problem in HD I guess
Depends on what you are looking for.
Nexus S or Galaxy S will give you the best processing power, Galaxy S also has the super AMOLED screen. The HTC Desire Z is very overclockable, which can put it above the Galaxy S even, and has a slide-out keyboard.
HTC Desire HD also has a big screen with good construction and great software (HTC Sense...best software skin on Android).
If you want plain unmodified Android then wait for the Nexus S, which would be the only phone with Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
hTC all the way
Desire Z or Desire HD
HTC desire is a good choice.
I have HTC smart and am happy with its features and apps. I think HTC desire will be also best I had just deal with HTC and its first time I am using Android. you will get many best deals at this Christmas.
Good Luck!

i will NEVER own another samsung smartphone... terribly disappointing expierence with the galaxy s series in its entierty....
ive found that most people who have an SGS and LOVE it, have either never had ANY smartphone previously, or never owned an HTC smartphone to understand what they are missing
i just switched yesterday from an iphone 4 to an HTC Droid Incredible. its, in my book, 1000x better than the iphone. yea it doesnt have the front facing camera like the Evo, but usin it on the iphone for facetime purely raped the battery life. hence why i went w/o. im still tinkering with it, like i did both my iphones, and i'll post a full review for those who wanna kno more about it (and if there isnt one already).
Motorola Milestone 2 is a good idea.. but i'd wait for Nexus S or lg star..
LG STAR HAS A TEGRA 1GHZ PROCESSOR.. but youll have to wait longer than nexus S for that

Yeah i came from a 3gs,iPhones are boring.You could probably get a Htc HD2 cheap and you can port android to it,there very good at running android,fast,stable,they even beat the Nexus one and desire at running it
IF you like options, get a cheap HD2 lol. It can run Wm 6.5, Android, and ubuntu and possibly even wp7. and the hardware is still good. Otherwise Desire HD sounds good but I highly recommend the HD2 for versatility
I will be changing my phone in June. Right now I have HTC Hero, and I just love it, it is by far the best phone I have ever owned. Can not stand Iphones.....
So my question, is whats on the horizon ???? like I say, it will be June 2011 when I upgrade, what should I be looking at ?
Thanks

Nexus S or Desire HD

30k INR is about 660 USD, right?
you could buy HTC Desire with that, I think..
or perhaps, just buy HTC HD2.. with cedesmith desireHD2 build, 2000 quadrant score is just a small number..
I've been with T-Mobile for around 7 years and have 7 lines. We have tried about every phone out there. One year we went through 103 phones. We have owned every myTouch phone, including the Fender but excluding the new one, almost all of the BlackBerry phones made, many nokia phones, motorola phones and of course countless htc phones (including the HD7, returned the next morning).
No matter what platform HANDS DOWN the Samsung Vibrant S (I guess that would include AT&Ts Galaxy S) is the best out there. My kids had the inexpensive samsung flip phones and they were great, but beyond the very low end Samsung I have never been really happy with their phones that were almost smart phones, more like frustrated because you could "almost" do what lets say the HTC phones could but your Samsung was always not set up for all the same apps, stuck with all kinds of just small bumps.
Just this weekend 3 people were deciding what phone to get and they are now all getting the Vibrant once there contract is up. I personally added a line just to get this phone. Now my Vibrant in rooted (never done that before) and is customized with BlackFroyo I got off here. Of course the 3 friends all want to do the same.
Samsung has all the technology, thank goodness T-Mobile got their hands on it!!! Buy it you won't be sorry.
get the nexus S, period

I must admit I would have agreed with you before I bought the Vibrant. We've been with T-Mobile for 7 years and have a total of 7 lines... I won't repeat what I already posted but have gone though over 103 phones (unfortunately, kids) in one year about 90% smart phones.
Samsung DID IT RIGHT with the VIBRANT!!!!
I love window based phones as well and REALLY lean towards HTC until now. Returned the HD7 within 14 hrs, maybe I'll try again once it's more established.
So I bought my first choice and everyone who sees it or uses it (it's rooted with BlackFroyo theme) has decided this is the phone they'll be getting.
What was so disappointing about the Galaxy S Series? The working phones we have right now are 2 myTouch slides, 1 myTouch G1, 1 myTouch Fender, partially broken Samsung Galaxy (I agree with you about this phone), 1 or 2 different BlackBerrys, but returned the HTC HD7 & HTC Pro Touch 2, & gave away the Slide to get this Vibrant and now I have 6 others under my roof who want me to buy them a Vibrant.
I know everyone has different opinions and needs but to imply that owners of the Galaxy S Series have less experience with SmartPhones than those who own HTC phones is just a little narrow minded. I did feel the way you did but it was the "NEWEST" HTC phone that pushed me to the Samsung. Reviews everywhere were overwhelming that if you were going to buy a T-Mobile phone get the Vibrant.
-nothing personal, it would just be nice if you would back your statements up with some facts because it sounds like you're talking about another Samsung
Buy HTC Desire Z its a great phone.

What is best for me may not be for you, said that, theres no such "best" phone.
Hi all,
Me and my gf are looking to get a new mobile phone/smart-phone some time soon. We've been using an iPhone 3GS for about two years now and think its time to upgrade.
I told her that I think Android Phones are better than Apple phones and we've been looking around.
So far we've had a look at (I dont know the EXACT names...im not good with phones):
HTC One X
Samsung Galaxy S2
Google Galaxy Nexus
iuno much about other phones so far..should we wait for the Samsung Galaxy S3 or the iPhone 5?
I will be using it mostly for music\watching converted videos\occasional games with the occasional calling and texting, and she will be doing pretty much the same, with a bit more calling and texting. What do you guys suggest?
Thanks all.
The one x!!!
I Would wait for S3 full specs... But so far i would go with one X
Yeah if you can't wait get the HTC one x, if not wait for the sg3 specs.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I think one x is the best so far but still u can chill for S3
Samsung Galaxy S3
HTC ONE X
or if you want a device without the Manufacturer Skins go for a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, you'll be the first to get updates from Google.
Galaxy S2.. or better yet, just wait for the S3...
One X has the better specs among the phone you mentioned but the only thing that keeps me from choosing it is the fact that its not using Super Amoled screen.
I dunno, but I tend to shy back on phones not running Super Amoled screens anymore.. Sammy is pretty much on the bandwagon on hooking me up on their Super Amoled screens that my eyes are keenly fond or fixated by it already
anything not Super Amoled (for me) is not so much anymore nice to look at....
Just me though
I would choose the HTC One X.
HTC ONE X will get all app support)
One x

Take a look at the Asus Padfone. Same core as the One X, but transformerable into a tablet and notebook form. It's set to be released this month with the LTE version coming Q3.
I would wait until the officially announce the Galaxy s3 because it is supposed to be incredible, but if it is not you could just go buy your next best choice!
I would wait for the specs from the new galaxy too. But, like the others, if you could not wait, id go with the one x.
The Nexus is a pure ICS Phone. Would be my favorite.
HTC uses the Sense UI, the One X Sense 4 which might be quite good looking and has some special apps on top. But: Right at the moment I'm using a HTC Desire with a ICS Custom ROM (before I always used a ROM with Sense) and i thought a could not life without Sense UI, but ICS is nearly perfekt.
I read somewhere that google wants to release Android 5.0 in August 2012. That another point why i would buy the google phone - the nexus will be the first to get the update.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
htc one X
HTC One X or my favorit the Sony Xperia S
As the topic states, which would you do and why? Keep using a G2x and wait to see if something nicer than the One S releases in the near future, use an available upgrade and get the grey One S when T-Mo releases it/wait for them to release the MAO version, or burn the upgrade on a SGSII.
Sent from my stock, rooted LG-P999WA using XDA Premium
The SGSIII is probably right around the corner. That's pretty much the only other phone that will trump the One S at the point. So the question to ask yourself is if you want the One S or the SGSIII.
The last thing you want to do is use your upgrade on an SGSII. If anything sell your G2X and buy an SGSII on eBay.
If only HTC would bring out the One S with 32Gb!
I'm still enjoying my original desire but really don't think I could have any less memory than my 16Gb card. I don't want a phone any bigger than the S. So come on HTC Surely they'd fly out the door, seems a pretty perfect phone in just about every other area.

Go for the one S, i mean the specs on the S3 would look promising but the design of Samsung phones are blah.
I went for the One S, haven't got it yet but don't think I'll regret the decision.
The Galaxy S3 is probably going to have an even larger screen than the S2 had, making it more of a competition for the One X - and way too large for my taste (in fact, the One S is almost too large with 4,3", too, but there's just nothing smaller out there with decent hardware anymore). I've always preferred Sense to TouchWiz, and never much liked Samsung phones in general, even though the Galaxy S2 seems to have brought massive improvements in quality and buyer satisfaction over their earlier offerings.
i was originally also waiting for the gs3 but after mwc i was obsessed with the one s. after having i for 4 days now i don't regret the decision. the cpu is extremly fast and the build quality and design of the device is just extraordinary. samsung's devices on the otger side always fail to impress me on those two points... i prevoiusly had a galaxy s which is a good device but in contrast to the one s it felt cheap and looked ugly...

Hello guys, im going to buy a new handset i already have an HTC inspire 4g, and i fall in love with HTC but i am curious about the galaxy nexus, i think now the nexus is a little better than the HTC, but maybe the new official rom of HTC with jelly bean will be awesome!!! What do u think??

HTC One X has better hardware than the Nexus. You should totally buy it.
As is almost always the case with device comparisons, each has their own advantages/disadvantages. The One X certainly has superior hardware, but the Nexus has the advantage of the pure Google experience out-of-the-box and is guaranteed to receive official updates before other devices for the foreseeable future.
One X totally
Google Nexus is on par with Galaxy SII in terms of performance, and One X is HTC's answer to Galaxy SIII, it is almost 1 generation later than the Nexus. So definitely go for the One X.
But I would pick the S3 instead of One X from my experience with HTC sensation.

I agree with DruidXL..
Choose the OneX over Nexus and the S3 over OneX but if your going to do a lot of ROM dev then go in for Nexus as its easier to do in that phone as its a Nexus Series phone..

Thanks of all of you, i am decidid to buy the one x but definitely i will take off the sense and put a jelly bean rom!!!
Wow. Thats funny, I have convinced a person who bought the HTC one x to switch to the gnex. He was amazed at the fluidity of the gnex.

I'd still choose the Nexus. One X is fugly and *shudder* sense. S3 is like a slightly better Nexus without the advantage the Nexus line adds.
I would go for the One X... much better hardware a little more expensive tho.
We had a big debate about this at work. Consensus was that the One X is definitely the superior phone if it's bought carrier-free, unlocked and rooted, but the Galaxy Nexus is a far better value.
Hello, I am new to this forum but I do already have a android phone which is the samsung vibrant, and I am thinking that it is time to switch, after Samsung left me and the other vibrant owners behind I decided to get a new phone, I have done some studying on this so far and found the Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play Store for $350, this is a really good price for what I want to pay, but also there is another phone called the HTC One S and I am able to get the HTC One S in the same price range, I am not sure which cellphone I should choose between these two, I would like to know which phone that you would choose in my position. The Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ or the HTC One S, and also if there are any other android phones that are even than these two I have listed with good specifications It would be very much appreciated if you could share it too.
Thank You.
A lot of it depends on preference. The nexus is stock android and will get updates faster than any other phone. And it's great if your going to be installing custom roms. The HTC has sense on top of android which some people like and some people don't. The Samsung galaxy s3 is also available with their touchwiz software and that has solid specs as well.

Between those two I'd definitely get the Nexus. Far easier to customize and definitely not a phone that will be getting left behind on updates.
If you are fan of HTC 's sense then go for one s.

The one s is a good phone, so is the nexus and one s. The g note seems good too, but not everyone has abandoned the vibrant, I have one running on jellybean because of the awesome dev community. Anyway good luck.

I love my gnex and I chose it over the SIII because of google support ! I will only buy nexus devices from now on; I've always had Samsung devices, but didn't like touchwiz, and the fact that I had to wait 8 months to get ics on my tablet, and even now the ui is still laggy in some situation.
That made loose faith in manifacturers, but I've never owned a HTC device to be honest.
I like android and I like it pure, but that's just my opinion anyway.
It really depends on what you plan to do with the device. If you plan to install ROM's, there is plenty of dev work going on around the One S. While it isn't as much as the Nexus, it is still impressive. The camera on the One S is surely better. If you want to stick the the OS that comes pre-loaded, it depends on what your preference is. Do you like the stock Android feel or prefer Sense ? Answer those questions and you will know which cell to buy. :good:
As somebody else advised me, the only selling point of the nexus is the fact that they recieve updates faster. And with xda updates are never a problem. The htc one s is renowned for it s build quality. I would advise you to get that one.
Nexus has bigger screen with more pixels, one x space is taken by permanent hardware buttons. I love soft-buttons for their moddability, though this depends on your tastes of course.
Nexus likely has more deving in general, as a rule.
Normally I would suggest waiting for new stuff, as it seems we're on the cusp, but you want this price point so.
Thank You all for responding, I am leaning more towards the nexus because I really do like to receive updates right away I like to keep my phone on stock but have never tried a ROM, I would probably try a ROM later but the one s has a sleek and nice slim design which really interests me, I am not sure about HTC Sense because I have never used it, but maybe it will be sort of the same as touchwiz as I am used to that. I also might just wait till November since I hear a new galaxy nexus is coming out, maybe even some more phones in that time, Thanks again for the help!
Nexus in my opinion mostly because I prefer the look and feel of the device but the updates will come pretty quick from google and the developers for the nexus phones are great.
have always been a fan of HTC phones until they released the EVO LTE on sprint with a non-removable battery. Not sure if the One S has a removable battery or not, but for me that is a deal breaker. Have also heard really good things about the Nexus. Also like others have said, you will get updates and more customization on the nexus.
I would choose Galaxy nexus becouse it has 4.3 inch display.
Well the nexus has that stock android feel and the one s has the sense ui its all up to preference
