Best android camera phone?

Can anyone tell me the best android camera phones in the U.S? I have the epic 4g, and its pretty good. I want to update now so i was looking for something better, good back and front facing camera. I read somewhere that the sony ericson phones are pretty good. What are you guys suggestions?

Samsung Galaxy s2 one of the beast and the best.

Nokia 808 pureview has easily the best camera in a phone but I think nokia n9 is better in any other way with a great camera.

Samsung Galaxy SII or HTC One X / S

IMO HTC Sensation > GSII but...
HTC One X / S > HTC Sensation
GSIII > HTC One X / S

If you can wait.... Samsung Galaxy S3 is coming soon , it's the improved version of the S2 and that phone has a really great camera so you can expect a lot of the next one

Galaxy s2 is the best!

What phone should i buy ???

hi guys
i want to buy a galaxy S2
so should i buy one form At&T or T-Mo or Sprint or globel verson ????

Why buy a S2 when S3 was just released? Or you could buy the HTC One X.

wait for the S3 to come. and the htc one-phones are probably a bit better than the s2. but max. a bit

WAIT for the global galaxy sIII to be released and then buy that

samsung s2

Buy a Galaxy Note
I would Buy a Galaxy note as i had a brand new nexus with official ics and sold it and bourght a note and couldnt go back to a smaller screen then ive rooted and flashed stunner ics i woudnt swap it for any phone now i have a quadrant score of 44130 blows my nexus out the water.massive thanks to all at xda as i knew nothing about phone development untill i stumbled apon this forum and now im flashing custom ics roms

If you must get a GS2, go for the "Skyrocket" model, it's CPU is clocked to 1.5 versus all other models being clocked at 1.2

thanks for the advise but you guys change the topic
i think that S3 is not very impress compare to S2 with the price 600 euro

guys on here telling you get s3.... is nothing so special about s3 apart from faster cpu ....and the design of s2 is much better than s3

Go with tmobile and save yourself some money...

Which phone should I buy now?
I've had the HTC Wildfire since last year but I'm getting pretty bored of it now because of the slow processor, graphics and small screen.
Basically, I need a big screen, good camera(capable of HD recording), nice multimedia features and a decent processor in my next phone.
I'm thinking of getting the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V. Is it a good phone or should I go for something else?

Galaxy S3.

Easy, Global, more development and support. But Galaxy Nexus would make better sense with updates
Sent from my HTC One X

I'd also go for global for the dev/support.

If you have already invested tons into micro sdcard, go for sgs3, note or sgs2.
If not and you want style at the expense of no storage/battery upgrade options .. go for one x.

Samsung Galaxy SII even if for samsung upgrade reason maybe I'll chose HTC One X

Just buy the samsung galaxy siii.. man.. that phone is awesome .. just like a portable computer..

Need help choosing a new phone

Hey guys, I'm still pretty new here at the XDA forums, so my apologies if this is in the wrong forum (This is where I saw it fitting )
Here's my situation.
I'm currently in the market for another smartphone, but don't know what I'm doing anymore (since after a while the phones all start to seen the same.)
Keep in mind it has to be a GSM device. I'm looking into Pre-Paid because honestly I don't want to deal with AT&T's outrageous $90+ a month and horrible data plans of only 1GB or 2GB
I'm a college student going into Petroleum Engineering, and deal with a lot of math etc. I want a phone that I can completely make use of.
With that being said, I've been looking into (for some reason) the Dell Venue Pro with WinMo OR the Galaxy Note..... I have big hands so this would make more sense. The Formula and Shape match with the s-pen sound and look amazing. Only problem is I'm stuck between the i717 and the N7000? I don't know what to choose from or if this is even my best bet.
Can someone clear things up or make other suggestions?

IMHO: just sum things out. list down all your requirements in a smartphone, that may help you decide.
you may also consider future upgrades (android OS etc..) from the maker.
good luck!

From my point of view I am really satisfied with Galaxy S2, so I can tell you, that with Galaxy Note you cannot do a mistake. Galaxy S2 has quite good development base here on xda.

So the Galaxy Note is a GS2 based device?
I also have another question. Let's say I buy the AT&T Version off of Ebay from someone who never used it, or did use it for a day. Would the Samsung manufacturer's warranty still be valid?

i would suggest the exhibit 2 4g. i used it for a couple months and its a pretty good phone for the price you pay. its pretty easy to root as well ;D

My opinion is to get the international version. It has FM. And also the video editor doesn't work too well on the AT&T. Besides, I wouldn't trust AT&T with my updates,that's a long wait. Plus I'd avoid the bloatware,samsung's apps + at&t apps = too much stuff you don't need.
I'd skip windows until mobile gets 8.

Galaxy S3......would not be bad

Galaxy Nexus, HTC ONE X, or Galaxy SIII these are all very good phones.

galaxy s3

Galaxy S3? I had ran across a few reviews and it was to my understanding that the S3 wasn't much of an improvement. It could have been a biased opinion though. What's new on the Galaxy S3?

I was really interested in the One X as well. It seems like I'd be waiting a while for a lot of development on it though. Since I was looking for something with 3G or 4G capabilities on TMO.

You can
You can choose between S3, One X. They are high-performance and 4.8 or 4.7" is big aswell, so you'll not have problems.

The galaxy s3 has a quad core processor, HD 720p screen,better graphics processor,more storage(32gb internal model with slot) newest android (4.0.4) Samsung extras ( s voice/ multitasking video player/ direct dial/ that feature that follows your eyes and keeps the screen awake/ newer Bluetooth / better DNLA / NFC ) so it's an upgrade of the nexus.

Sounds amazing! Do we know if there will be any difference between the international and US versions?

Yes. The quad core chip does not support LTE. Thus LTE version of the phone (Verizon? AT&T?) Will be dual core. Confirm Exynos chip before purchase. It'll be available in white and blue.

Why no one considers Sony Ericsson?
I like the phone (which is more "phone friendly" than GS3) and the Bravia is a great engine....Xperia S features also a 12 Mpx full HD camera, dual-core @ 1.5 Ghz...and a really nice design...
Not to talk about the cost, which is pretty inferior to S2 or 3...
Come on, it is a phone to consider...
(ps: I have a GS2...)

Honestly I've owned a few Sony Ericsson devices and they were amazing! I did consider a few, but I actually have no clue about these Sony Xperia devices (since my SE were all non-smartphones) Could you educate me a tad?
GSM? Easy to root/unlock etc? Will it work on TMO 4g? etc.

The i717 Galaxy Note is the AT&T version and will only work on the T-mobile 4g when you hack it in some way. The international version (N7000) will not get T-mobile 4g at all.
That being said the only major difference is that the i717 sports a dual core snapdragon s3, while the N7000 has a dual exynos cpu, which blows the snapdragon s3 out of the water.
If you're planning to be on T-mobile, I really would recommend the galaxy nexus as it is unlocked and will work with the 4g and has a huge development base. Keep in mind that the HTC One X will not work on T-mobile 4g as well. If you really want a Note, then get the AT&T version. Otherwise, you can wait for the Note to come to T-mobile, which will be sometime in July.

Sony Devices will work on 4g. All the new Sony 2012 Xperia phones come with fixed memory,non removable battery and no memory card slot. Those will most likely brick easier (exception is the Sola which has a slot)
If you want a Sony I recommend the Arc S. The phone is very stylish, I like the design better than Sony Xperia S,and seeing as the essentials are in the Arc S( and both are dual cores) id go with it.
Sony do hold out on batteries especially the 2012 phones,I'd get a generic one for the Arc S.
Bravia Engine is brilliant, but Sony phones have comparatively lesser RAM(512 opposed to 1GB) so it's not a multitasking superhero,but won't lag.
You could get a good deal for the Arc S seeing as it is not king of the hill anymore. It's not as plastic as the Sony Xperia S and the only difference in camera is megapixels,both are Exmor R. You won't be disappointed.

Samsung have a very good performance but a have bad UI.

I just have 2 android phones (HTC Hero and Samsung Galaxy S) and if I could get the performance of SGS and the UI of the hero it would be perfect.

I love my Samsung Galaxy S phones, they are all beautiful and very fast.

HTC

Htc is The Best!

my experience: HTC HD2 for 3 years and then samsung SII and note. All these products are good. a little extra for the HTC widgets.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Personally, I love all three.
I love HTC's build quality. It's something you appreciate as soon as you hold one.
Samsung. I love where Samsung is going. The Super Amoled/+ is amazing, and once your eyes view it. Everything else is sub-par.
Sony - I don't have much experience with their recent devices, but I'm honestly a Sony fan (except gaming consoles). I have Sony TVs (Even with Google.) My old Sony and SE phones never let me down and were seemingly just as tough as some old Nokias. lol
But that's just my take.

Never had a HTC. Only had a few Sony phones. The vast majority of my phones have been Samsung Galaxy's.
Typed with SwiftKey 3 using XDA Premium on my GT-S5360

I dont own phones from either three but from what I read, Samsung all the way.

Samsung for the superb hardware & for the freedom of playing with software...
Sony for the appearance of it & HTC if u look bare build quality...

Samsung. The entire Galaxy line is amazing, not to mention the Note. Samsung has amazing screens and hardware. A lot of the iphone components come from Samsung.
Love Sony(tv's, ps3, etc...)but never owned one of their phones.
Hate that HTC is going the Apple route with no sd card slot and also non-user changeable batteries. I actually use my phone and carry around a spare battery with me at all times. Not into the whole hipster, look at what I bought thing, but can't really use it for fear of having to be near a charger at all times.

New phone choice for 2012-2013

Hi guys hoping you can help.
Ive had my Xperia Play since new, but its screen has gone and feels slow compared to my mates phones now.
Ive been offered the choice of 3 phones.
Nokia Lumia
Samsung Galaxy s3
Xperia U
Im only really interested in making calls,texts,emails,music,browsing and games. All the other special features that come with all new phones are just a gimmick to me, (My X Play was rooted and bloat free within an hour of me getting it) so things like "Siri" on Iphone and S-Voice on Samsung are not a deal winner for me.
One thing I would like is to be able to hook my phone up to my TV via HDMI, something that was GREATLY overlooked on the Xplay, mores the pity.
So, seeing as im no expert, and you guys at XDA seem to be in the know please vote and if you pick "other" leave a comment explaining what phone and why.
Many thanks guys and gals!
Mr Flipfoot

it is also depending on what you want to pay for it
if it doesn´t matter what it cost
i would choose the s3 by samsung cause it has the best performance i think (and many custom roms of course and official update support)
you could connect it to your tv with the following adapter by samsung:
EPL-3FHUBE
(sry i can´t post a link because im a new member )

I would choose Samsung S3 because of the performance. If you're a mean android gamer then it's great for you. But if I really get to choose, I'd love to have Xperia acro S. It has 12MP, 1.5 dual core, HDMI, 11GB internal memory, up to 32 GB SD card and others.. It also looks sleek. You should search for it. I'm not much on the processor speed. I just love Sony's design and features. A fast, beautiful phone that could do everything I want would be great enough. This is just a suggestion. The decision is yours of course.

It all depends on
1 what is your budget
2 carrier (contract specific carrier or prepaid)
With your requirements and considering all carriers supported
Galaxy nexus, S2 or S3.

Everyone on this forums is going to recommend you buy the GS3. And it's for a reason, it IS the best phone out there hands down.

I agree with this. People always look at a Nexus' specs and go "it looks totally average, why get that when you can get a Galaxy S III or blahblahblah". Hardware specs will only get you so far. What good are they, though, when your software is perpetually bloated and outdated? I'd rather not be at the mercy of Samsung/HTC/whoever for updates.
The Nexus development scene is second to none, too.

(I'm presuming that you're very interested in games, browsing etc.)

I know i'm getting hated for saying this but am i the only one that thinks the S3 is overrated? I'd rather have a Galaxy Nexus than an S3. And there are quite a few alternatives to the S3 like the One X (Many reviewers say it has the best screen out there), the 4X HD (Also IPS LCD like the One X but with bigger removable battery and microSD slot), the Galaxy Nexus (Sure, it isn't a quad core but if you check out on youtube a comparison between the GN and a quad core phone you will see that the Nexus can be as smooth (On JellyBean) or even smoother not to mention you get all the updates first) also the RAZR MAXX (It might not be the best phone spec wise but it has a huge battery which provides excellent battery life).
Sorry for the bad english.
