Which Dual Core phone Is best?

i m going to buy the dual core phone but guys i dont have any idea that which dual core phone is best
i want gaming modding roms camera form phone so please guid me which one is best except latest release of smasung galaxy nexus and motorola razr

Why would you want the next best? Get the Galaxy Nexus.
If you're just about saving a few quid, and assuming you specifically want an Android handset pick up the galaxy s2... spec and performance is not far short overall, in some ways it's better.

HTC range? Seems to havegood support here.

Samsung Galaxy SII

In terms of specs/potential it is Note..in terms of specs/xda support it is GNexus.

REZOUND!
HTC Rezound is my pick.
Dual Core Qualcom MSM8660 with 1.5 GHz, 1GB of RAM and the best thing about the phone - 720P 4.3 Inch Display!!! better pixel density than even the retina.

i think Mi-One is the best choice atm but he's pretty hard to find...

Not enough hardware to drive it

The SGS2. one of the best dual core chips and its going to have ice cream sandwich soon.
The super AMOLED screen is superb too.

SGS II
My friend got one recently and I checked it out. SGS II is really good. It is definitely well equipped to handle ICS if you are interested in flashing CM 9, when the good folks come out with it.

I haven't 100% decided which phone I'm going to get yet either (between Nexus Prime, Razr, and Resound), though I'm leaning towards the Nexus Prime just because I know it will be the most open. I'm more than likely going to want Cyanogen on whatever I get. The Razr, though water and bullet proof, will probably be the most locked down out of the three :/

S2 /lock.

No, thanks, but I'll be getting a N9.

galaxy s2 >>> galaxy nexus

I'm more of an HTC fan myself, who's you're carrier? Are you gonna start a new contract? The galaxy has a very vivid display but it really depends on who you go through on what phone to pick;-)

HTC EVO 3d

I'm having a tough time picking between the new RAZR and the SGS II. I guess I'll have to go play with them both again.

GNexus for sure.

I would go for the Galaxy Nexus for sure. It may not have the most ram or the highest MP camera, but it is a high quality build and scores very well in benchmarks.

We'll have to see when the S2 gets a good working ROM though as ICS is fully optimized for dual cores with hardware acceleration.

Depends what you like, if you like pure AOSP, go for galaxy nexus. If you like sense, wait for the endeavour or Ville to be released

I hate sense, love stock ICS, but are there not any quad core phones due to be released soon?

Well, HTC got the Endeavor but we don't know yet when it's going to be released. But why would you wait for Tegra 3? The dual cores we have now are fast enough to run every game in the Market smoothly. Just don't go for a Blackberry. Those things are waaaay slower than any modern Android smartphone and there's less things you can do with them.

i wouldn't go for a blackberry lol i said it for a joke,
yeah true current dual core are good enough, but i dont want to get one then a quad core comes out

If you think like this, you'll never get a new device since you'd constantly want the best of the best .

Sure, they can't do as much, but saying they're slower is biased. The 9900, the one he mentioned, is as fast as any high end android and faster than many others. Blackberries are for people looking for a specific set of features, let's not be mindless bigots.

i'd wait. nexus' are still expensive, and with the new phones coming out soon, it will drop in price significantly. it'll always be a catch-up game, like with anything else that is mass produced. there will always be better things in a few months. ultimately, it's up to you what you spend your money on.

To be fair, Blackberry is for business folks that are lost in a world of technology.

There will be a number of quadcore phones (by HTC, LG, Samsung, probably some others - of course all with custom overlays instead of pure ICS), announced at MWC in two weeks. And it will take some more time (in some cases even months I suppose) until you can buy them.
The next Nexus with a quadcore chip is almost a year away. So you must decide if you want a Galaxy Nexus (pure Android, fast updates, nice screen, NFC - but a mediocre camera and no SD card slot) or wait for phones like the Galaxy S3 with better hardware and an overlay.
But in terms of Sense, TouchWiz etc: If there is a phone with lovely hardware but an annoying skin, there's always the option to install CM9 e.g.

Wait for the HTC Endeavor (or Ville) !

id say go for the nexus, if some say dual core is an overkill, quad core is an over over overkill, concerned bout the battery

I might be wrong but shouldn't battery life actually be better with the Tegra 3? This is because of that 5th core that's used for less demanding tasks and the others 'come alive' when needed.

Sensation xl..

Just read that the Galaxy Nexus 32GB version may well not arrive. 16GB of memory fills up pretty quick with a few Gameloft games, some music, a couple of ROM's, some backups and data from other apps so do consider this when buying it.
If I were you I'd wait for some of the new devices.

Nexus baby.. You can always blow some more money later...

What device is the best for me?

Hi guys,
I have a question i didn't know where to post this concedering its not for a particular device or platform so i posted it here any way here is my question i have a HTC EVO 3D and i want to upgrade,why do i want to upgrade 2 reasons number one screen size its too small i had a GALAXY Note so when i went back to the EVO its small and the second one is the Processor its fast but not too fast anyway i was planning on buying the GALAX S III international version when it comes out but after i saw the price i was surprised its 800$ for the 16 GB so im stuck with the following and i need an advice (of course if by the time the S III comes out the price drops to around 600-650 i'll buy it )
Here are the phones im thinking of (and if u have other phones please tell me)
1- HTC One X international version
2-HTC Titan II
3-GALAXY Note
Please help thank you.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app

I'd go for the Note. Cheaper and overall better. Sure the One X is quadcore, but Tegra kinda sucks so the extra buck you have to add isn't really worth it. Titan is quite meh.
Sent from my Lumia 800 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Go for the One X , the screen is better the CPU is very fast and the GPU with custom roms increase the phones overall performance. I would only recommand the GALAXY Note if you email a lot because it feels like the note is designed for the business person in mind.

I don't know what kind of prices you got there guys but here the Note is about 200€ cheaper than the One X, which isn't that much better, not like 200€-better for sure IMHO. It actually is inferior for some aspects, like screen size (and pentile ain't bad on a 5.3"), removable battery, sd slot, and that pen thing that is mostly a gimmick but oh well. Once it gets even cheaper I'll definitely pull the trigger on one of those. I used one for a day last week, coupled with an extended battery and a Rii Keyboard it proved to be a very nice and portable mini tablet, the tablet mode you get on AOSP ROMs is also pretty sick. Not a great fan of those new Htc phones with locked bootloaders and all that jazz. ICS sources for the Note have just been released by the way, even better ROMs will come very soon, even tho AOKPs are already 99% hack free and rock solid.

Use a website like phonescoop.com to compare them side-by-side. See exactly what each specs are and which one has the specs you really care about. That would be of great help.

HTC One X
HTC Sence UI beats Note in 100 ways

Why not the nexus. Its much cheaper than the s3 and its a great phone. Still one of the best and probably the best price/goodness ratio.

galaxy note is the best
i have one and it's greate

I like the GALAXY Nexus cause of its display and stock ICS but i use SD Card so i need a phone with an option to expaned my memory but i kept the HTC One X cause of its Quad Core Processor

I dont know the price is kinda of an issue but and the screen size (im a fan of the 5"screens) its of course better in preformance no doubt but im from the few fans of the Touchwiz UI its more simple than the Sense UIor maybe cause im used to it i had 3 devices with TouchWiz so i find it easier but still the HTC One X stunning camera,preformance and display is a plus
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app

Ok but the One X have a worst battery than the EVO 3D....

Galaxy Note or Galaxy S2.. with additional batteries

if easy to hold better take s2 if you want better take galaxy note or tab

I dont know but HTC devices tend to have bad battery life for some reason LOL
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app

Galaxy Note very big I think.. You can't touch all screen by one hand, sometimes I you'll need that.. S2 The Best!
HTC good but not good enough

It's a year in, and I'm still really enjoying my Samsung infuse. true 4g would be nice, but the devs are working on Miui ICS and it looks awesome

i used all of them. my advice is : GALAXY Note is a good one if you don't mind the big size. then chose GALAXY S2 !

4g is good.. very good.. great, but in some places there is no 4g unfortunately only 3g or worst.
I'd like my S2 to have 4g, but it's not.. Maybe you'd better wait for S3?

I dont mind the big screen actually i want something bigger than 4.3" i dont know why many people think its too big im really into big devices but not over 5.3" cause that would be really inconvienent for a mobile phone thats why i kept in mind choices like the HTC Titan 1/2 cause i really like the Metro UI and WP is kinda between the line of simplicity and costumizations still android is the best im freaking confused guys tell me more about ur experiance with the devices ur advising thanks

SG3

Being an HTC customer for years, I'm debating if I should jump ship to a Samsung product, the SG3. Should I and why? Or is Tmobile getting another HTC device in the near future worth waiting for?

I am planing to join samsung club too. I have been using HTC over a year now. I am just thinking its time to change. As for as more into why Samsung s3 newest phone with lot of Kool thinking like just looking at the contact will dial number or screen will not dim . Better processor and super amolded screens are few.
Question of if HTC coming up with something new maybe yes because these companies are coming out with new phones every single month

not me, never been a fan of Samsung phones... personally, I dont like the look of the phone. Im waiting for my next upgrade to come around before I start looking for a new phone, around October. the Sensation is def more than enough until then

i would surely choose HTC One X than SGS3

**** SGs3 if you whant allways the better feel of aosp, buy a galaxy nexus or any new upcoming galaxy phone from google,
btw i prefer the HTC one X

I was a sony fan then went to samsung....never going back! Looked at HTC's, rooting is alot more work than samsung and samsung have alot more custom ROMS available but the speeds etc of the standard firmware was perfect, i just like messing with things, constantly playing about with the S2 my S3 is for work purposes but tempted to become a toy aswell
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Honestly? I'd go GS3 if I was gonna upgrade right now. The One S is 'eh' at best and since it's a "high end HTC device", we probably won't see another one for a while. I contemplated upgrading to it within the week but they said I'd lose my 10 GB grandfathered data plan - which I absolutely refuse to do.
Funny thing too, they offered me a One S for $350 + Two year extension. I asked them if they realized that it's two hundred to two fifty on Craigslist in my area. They had nothing to say to that.

I absolutely love the SGS3, but wouldn't get it right now for T-Mobile for three reasons.
First, the T-Mo version costs more than other carriers SGS3s. That just rubs me the wrong way.
Second, we get the Qualcomm S4 version here. Dual core? Seriously?? I think that's lame considering EU gets the Exynos quad core version.
And last, and most annoying, the T-Mo SGS3 won't be compatible with the upcoming LTE because of the spectrum T-Mo is planning to use. Boo!
TL;DR I'd just wait. Sensation isn't top of the line anymore, but it's still pretty decent until some real upgrades find their way stateside.

Well i thought google said they will release at least 5 nexus devices in november, one for each different manufacturer. Why not get the next htc nexus then?

What's bad with dual core? The S4 keeps up with the Tegre3 and even beats it in some benchmarks. Does Android even benefit from quad core yet? I don't believe it really does. Hell, I have eight cores in my notebook and Windows hardly uses four of em.

If you want a good phone with good performance and best AOSP experience (speed, battery life, etc) wait for upcoming nexus.
I can live with sensation until google released new nexus phone.
But if you want a beautiful software and functionality go to HTC.
I dont like samsung experience but i should admit their hardware still the best (not its build quality tho).

I was considering to get the S3 but went to T-Mobile store and I was underwhelmed. Mainly because of the screen. And it didn't give me that wow feeling.
Anyways, I will wait. Sensation is pretty awesome at the moment.

Nothing bad with it really. Like I said, our Sensations are more than capable right now with dual core. It's just that if I'm going to break out the wallet and potentially renew my contract, it better be for a serious upgrade. An update from s3 to s4 just doesn't blow me away.
Remember when our Sensations came out and GB wasn't ready for dual core? Well now we have ICS and all is good. Same concept. I'd really hate to be on a dual core SGS3 and then the next version of Android comes out supporting quad core.

Silly to upgrade now. The GS3 is certainly "better" than the Sensation, but it's not enough of an improvement imo to justify the upgrade. I side with the people who say you should upgrade once new phones absolutely blow yours out of the water, not when they are merely a bit better. S4 dual core is pretty nice, and it beats the Sensations lackluster S3, but I'd rather wait for S4 quad core + Adreno 320 (a truly next gen gpu rather than Adreno 225, which is a slightly modified version of our gpu) or A15 exynos + Mali t-604 phones to hit, because they will undoubtedly roundhouse kick our sensations.

Good point. I, however, would like to mention that I never meant that I would get a GSIII right now, cause I'd have one if I did. All I meant was that if OP was getting a phone upgrade right now, GSIII over any HTC offering [T-Mobile's One S] is the way to go.

Should i accept?

hi everyone, first of all, excuse my poor english..
i need your advice as a friend of mine offers me a trade, he offers his unlocked gsm galaxy nexus + 30 dll for my at&t unlocked HOX... i know the hox has better hardware, but ive read a lot of good comments of the nexus.. so what do you thing? is the hardware of the nexus a limitation? i used to play a lot of 3D games...
is the nexus on JB faster than the hox on JB too?

Sent from my One XL using XDA Premium

Several people have now said keep the One X. Nobody here says take the Galaxy Nexus. So at least from this demographic, the opinion is pretty clear.
But also remember that this is not an objective place to ask this. For the most part, if we didn't like or love this phone, we wouldn't be hanging out in this forum.
Our One X pretty much smoked everything that came before it for CPU performance. So if performance is what you are looking at, getting the GN is probably a bad bet.
