[Q] Which phone? Im Confused !

Im sorry if this thread annoys anyone.
I have on order teh Galaxy Nexus but im starting to discover other phones and now im having second thought.
If you had the money spare, what phone would you buy?
Im stuck between:
Galaxy Nexus
Galaxy Note
S2 Skyrocket (Is this coming to the UK and when?)
Droid Razr
I want an android. Got rid of my Desire for an iPhone 4 and that was a mistake.
Help

if you don't mind BIG
Galaxy Note is the most BEAST fastest and powerful phone you can buy right now
otherwise if you like sleek & fancy, the Moto Droid Razer is a good choice

i'd take the nexus, and then the galaxy note. no idea how the skyrocket stacks up, and i'm not a fan of moto stuff at all. '
Me (and others i know) have been burned by moto too many times to get another of their devices. It looks like ti just might be the phone to change my mind, but IDK.... too soon to say. the razr is a gamble.
With the nexus you know exactly what you're getting, and while the hardware might not be bleeding edge, the software sure is. also things like NFC = win.
And the galaxy note.... while it might not be cutting edge hardware or software, the ting's huge, epic HD screen, and really good hardware.
also, you want to consider your carrier here as well. razr is only on verizion, note won't be on it, only at&t, maybe tmo.

Without the 42+ 4G network.

From your list the Droid Razr.
But I would go for the HTC Sensation XL or XE, they are awesome and I own the Sensation 4G (T-Mobile US) and it is so freaking awesome

If you are in to getting the latest update on the Androd OS, Galaxy Nexus will be ideal, as Nexus series is getting OTA update from Google directly.

Same from my side...Note is unbeatable

So the Galaxy Note is more powerful than the the Galaxy nexus and the S2 (None LTE version) ?

What's your next device?

What's your next device and why?
List your current device as well.
Current Device: At the moments I own a HTC Sensation
Mine might be the Samsung Galaxy S3 because of the supposedly great specs.
-12 mega pixel camera
-Promise of having at least one day guaranteed of battery
-Quad core
These are my main reason.

Certainly an utopic phone for me :
-4.6" 720p screen (or more, maximum 5")
-Tegra 3 SoC
-32Go internal memory
-and the most important : ICS without constructor's skin.

Currents are ATT SGS2 and my workhorse Nokia E6. Next device, dunno, I doubt my Nokia will break before the world ends XD

First was zte blade. Now im using optimus black(white version) next ??? Really hard to say, maybe some 4 core device in few years. xD

My current device is: HTC Incredible S
My next device is deep unknown. Because I seek for something with 4" screen (best size of screen for me) and better performance (so 2-core or 4-core CPUs devices). Unfortunately, at this time there is only one device with this specifications: Iphone 4S (nevermind it´s actually 3,5" screen). But I don´t like Iphone for many reasons...
So the conclusion is, that I must stay with my HTC for another year. And wait for a proper descendent.

Current is Samsung Galaxy GIO from Virgin Mobile only because I got it for free and got a $100 gift card from Future Shop. lol
I'll definitely be interested in the new SGS 3. I'm happy with the quality of my Samsung device even though its a low range phone, so Samsung is in my good books.

HTC edge/supreme will be my next device as long as it hits telstra so i can have att! 3g bands

Currently, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 on At&t (i777, non LTE), This is an amazing phone. Right now, running MIUI and overclocked to 1.6GHz, it blows everything else out of the water. The only things I don't like about it is the battery cover and screen resolution (800x480). The Galaxy S 2 should have had a qHD at least at launch, but if for some reason they would have had to make it something other than SAMOLED +, then forget it.
When its my time to upgrade, I basically want ^this phone^ with an awesome QWERTY! Unfortunately, no company is making an awesome and powerful slider anymore...

I am hoping to get the next gen of phones with quad core

Galaxy Note 2 because I won't go any smaller than 5.3"

I currently own a flipout for phone (just phone) and a galaxy player 5' for eveything else.
So I might as well get a Galaxy Note! Using wifi tethering is cool, but 3G directly on my 5' device would be appreciated lol.

So I'm not a noob to all this but I could use a little advice. I'm with AT&T and due for an upgrade. I currently have an Atrix 4G (which I love dearly and is rooted and unlocked running Neutrino) but I have no idea what I should upgrade to. Samsung seems to constantly get tremendous support from dev's so I'm kinda leaning towards the SGS2 Skyrocket but I'm not entirely sure. Any advice? Here's a couple devices I've been considering:
1. SGS2 Skyrocket
2. Sony Xperia Ion (pending release)
3. Samsung Galaxy Note
4. HTC something. I haven't paid enough attention to what they have to know which is the most supported device.
Any help would be great.

Current: Droid Razr
Possible phones just for all time sake:
Droid Razr Maxx(Just because of the battery upgrade)
....
Thats all I got so far lol....
I actual just collect the Droid Series from Moto
So far I got
OG Droid
Droid X & X2
Droid 2,3, waiting for 4(Finally with 4G)
I wont touch Droid Charge or INC(1 or 2)

Current: Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100
Next?: SIII probably. Not sure if I really need to upgrade again.

[Q] What phone should I buy?

Hi you guys,
I have a Samsung Captivate Glide (Bought it the first day it came out woot!)
Unfortunately, It's a very under developed device and I don't use the keyboard as much as I initially figured I would.
So I'm back in the market for a new android device. Preferably one with a strong developer community. ICS roms already running would be a big plus. I use the front camera a lot so thats a requirement.
Something with the best specs possible. I'm on AT&T so it'll need to be compatible with their network.
Thanks,
Kyle
P.S. My cappy glide is for sale on eBay if you're interested. http://bit.ly/zkiDqh

In the last Barcelona Mobile World Congress Alcatel presented a cheap but powerful device: Alcatel One Touch 995
For sure you cannot count on a strong support of developers, but they say it will be upgraded to ICS.

I think I'm going to get the HTC One X. I was reading about it the other day. Does anyone have an estimated release date?

I would wait for the release of the Galaxy S3 if you can hold on for that long, otherwise get a galaxy nexus i have one finding new roms all of the time and always pleanty of support from the dev community

What mobile to get?

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.

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.

htc one X

HTC One X or my favorit the Sony Xperia S

[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
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

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 !!!
