i think besides the HTC One X, Huawei Ascend D Quad Family and Meizui MX Quad core is optionable......jut be patient for a while.
I prefer Samsung, so I would go for a SII
This totally depends on what you want to do with it. If you just want to use it go for the HTC One X as it is faster and smarter than the Galaxy Nexus. But if you want to start developing keep in mind that the Galaxy Nexus is an official development device and you can get the drivers and hafe full AOSP support for it.
Buy the one s instead. If not, buy a nexus.

Plus one for this, love mine. Only consider this if lack of expandable storage and no removable battery is not an issue for you.
It has a great screen, looks great and Sense 4.0 is a polished and useful UI.

I was far more satisfied with the HTC, I've now bought a HTC X one.
one rule I learned - whatever you choose go with the mainstream. The more popular phone, the more support you get, more phone, more roms, more devs..
got a friend stuck with Huawei.. what a pain to browse all these chinese and russian forums
Verizon - sgs3
T-Mobile - sgs3
Sprint - evo 4g lte, and sgs3 are tied IMO.

Galaxy SIII or Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, HTC One X/EVO 4G LTE
Galaxy Nexus on Google Play Store - SGS3/One X/ EVO 4G LTE/ Note I'd consider ebay.
I've even found someone selling a EVO LTE in my are for $225 with an otterbox and a few cases........less than a month old. I'd consider it except I don't have Sprint.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus.....on JB, its faster than S III on ICS. And S III will not get upgrades for ever...Nexus will! Or at least for a very long time.
Galaxy Mini is the best :good: lol
LG OPTIMUS ME better than the iPhone.
Galaxy Nexus!!!!
JB Rocks!

New phone suggestions

Hi folks,
I have been using my HTC desire s for the past 1 Year and em feeling a lot intimate with it. recently my screen got cracked and so I plan on getting a new mobile, after a big walk around the forums I found HTC sensation and Galaxy s2 are the ones having a good feedback and also fits my budget. Now em in a duo of which one to select I like htc sense ui a lot but Samsung is well known for its source code release stuff (I'm a flashalcholic). Please suggest me a good mobile my budget is 400 to 450 usd (max 25000 INR)

EVO
I'm a lil baised but the EVO 3D or the 4G LTE seem really good but I've also heard the Samsung Galaxy S2 or S3 are both great devices and all of those are in your price range.
Ive had the htc sensation and the galaxy s3 not the s2 but me personally i would go with the samsung galaxy s2 seems to be alot of development for both phones but the s2 being more popular would have more devolopment with newer roms in the future i would think. Plus the screen on the galaxy is s2 is better then the sensation in my opinion
HTC One X
Sensation and S2 are both old phones. Or a Galaxy Nexus, much cheaper choice.

Galaxy Nexus. You will have much better and prolonged support with it.
S3 as it is one of the best devices at the moment with very strong spcs. However galaxy nexus is also a very strong device. It like i9100. ( little weaker) but as it from google sources, it 'll get every new software update. Don't forget that nexus s has jellybean 4.1 and galaxy s (i9000,9001,9003,9030) gingerbread 2.3.6!!!!!!!

for me, best and worst is the same - i9100 galaxy s2
I know i may offend some fans.
Motorola and Sony Tipo
Best - Motorola Atrix - Stock MotoBlur UI was really bad, drained battery and rebooted randomly. Changed to CM7.2 and it gives me almost 2 days battery and absolutely stable.
Worst - Sony Tipo, very bad touch response and random freezes.
New here as well, only had 2 android phones so
Best: Samsung Vibrant
Worst: Motorola Backflip
Only had 2 android phones. Was a big nokia fan but wanted t try android for a change.
Worst: Galaxy Gio. But it was actually a great phone. It finaly got to slow so I upgraded to:
Best: Galaxy SII, just awesome!
Samsung Galaxy SII - JellyBam 3.1.0 - Dorimanx 7.29
Worst: HTC Amaze 4G with stock ROM
Best: HTC Amaze 4G with CM10 nightlies
you can all power off your post, the best android for very long time is the asus padfone 2, the s3 is so slowy than padfone 2, the iphone 5 pffff.....what else!!!!!where is the really evolution!!!!(yes evolution not revolution!) a battery who don't go 1/2 day?!? all the person who have this phone at my work come to the work with a power pack or the charger so where is the mobility?????and the price.....the one very positive things is the quality of fabrication, it's a reference for all the firme,
for the majority of phones the problems are the during battery or the fquality of fabrication, or the speed in the the phone and multitasking,
for me the really podium of the phone is :
1: asus padfone 2 for the concept/design/fabrication, the battery(2 days!!!!!), the speed/multitasking, and all the harware!!!!!!!
2 : galaxy note 2 for the battery, in 2012 nearly 2013 is so important and it's right thing that we can have a battery duration more one day at this price, the speed/multitasking, but and a big BUT hte note 2 isn't really for me a phone
3: nokia lumia 920, good concept, rootable so xe can install android in the futur, the battery, the looks and the fabrication, big negative thing...windows8 it's my opinion
Best: Xperia T
Worst : Xperia X10

When you say best wouldn't that be a matter of opinion? I've been enjoying my Nexus S 4G quiet a bit and I've tried a lot of the newer phones (S3, Galaxy Nexus, etc...) But keep coming back to my NS4G as for tablet no clue but the Nexus 10 looks awesome x)

Opinion?
As it was asked earlier, This sound like an opinion question. But I do like facts and more information before recommending a device. However as far as overall "Android" device, I would say that is the Nexus line because of the heritage and Options/Customization.
if you talk about customization and numbers of roms made for it HTC HD2 and SGS-1 are best.
I think best tablet spec wise is the Nexus 10. The best phone is a dual between Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy S3.
My Nexus 10 is cooler than yours.
