For sure Samsung Galaxy S3

Asus Padfone for me!

Probably the Galaxy S3. Hopefully we'll see an updated Note later in the year.

Sony Xperia S... Can't wait longer for future phones

Probably the new iPhone, depending on what they come up with.

Galaxy S3 for me....if it lives up the hype
hopefully it gets as much Dev attention as the S2

I'm waiting for Windows Phone 8 devices

I've had my eye on the Galaxy Note for a while. I'm a little worried that it's only the first of a new line though and that it could be out dated quickly with the rate mobile technology is moving these days. Alternatively, I was thinking about the Galaxy SIII, but since it's not out yet it's hard to see how it will actually stack up.
What's everyone else think about that?

Not sure yet, but seeing as my HTC has had its life dramatically extended by HTC unlocking bootloader for thier devices and so making it much easier to root and mod I am finding it difficult to find a complelling reason to move from HTC

Here is the Galaxy SIII quad core processor in action vs the dual core.

Galaxy SIII

I definitely want a bigger screen. I have the DROID Bionic now and am interested in seeing what Verizon brings to the table this summer, hoping its better than there lackluster options last summer (Droid 3, Droid X2)
I am very interested in the Galaxy S3. Like I said the next thing I want in my next phone is a bigger screen, but not really taken up with onscreen keys like the Nexus. I would be OK picking up a Note variant if Verizon got it this summer,but anything with a quad core would be cool just too say I have it, even if it really isnt necessary.

Galaxy Note (TMobile). I have been saying Galaxy Note is the "best smartphone of 2012" ever since it was announced back in 2011. Now both One X and S3 specs are out and none of them have changed my mind.

I will for sure choose between a Galaxy S3 and One X

Galaxy S 3

What device can i buy Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy SII, HTC oneX?? galxy note too big and dont like galaxy s3
i would go for either the galaxy nexus or the htc one x.....the nexus is cheap on the play store...apparently $350
Dont forgert to say thanks
I have have and it is Badass!!!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
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.

Best performance smartphone?

I am planning to buy a smartphone. Budget is around 350 usd - 450 usd.
Any suggestions?
I have galaxy nexus, and what i think is, if we look at the perfomance, with the latest JELLY BEAN 4.1 update, galaxy nexus is the most smooth smartfone.
You should consider buying it. It is in your budget and you will love it

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!

Add another vote for Galaxy Nexus. :good:
Either GNexus or sgs3. That simple!
I just checked out the One S and SSG3. They are both pretty strong phones depending on what you are looking for. :cyclops:

Samsung Galaxy S4 VS. HTC One

Ok I am between those phones which are coming out soon. HTC One in 4 days and Samsung Galaxy S4 in 1 month. I have seen the specs from both devices but dunno which one to choose. Both are looking powerful and it is really difficult to choose which are is the best.
Imagine these are like S3 vs OneX and you already knew who wins.

So should I wait for Samsung Galaxy S4? Tho from the aspect of specs both phones are similar with S4 having better processor and One having better ppi. I will go with S4. I think it deserve 1 month waiting for it.
What's a month when you've waited this long. Compare after both devices are announced. However the hype on the S4 is getting ridiculous.

Will you be getting the Samsung Galaxy S4?

I'm not extremely excited about the design but the octa-core processor in combination with 2GB RAM sounds like music in my ears, although i'm disappointed that TouchWiz is basically the same, but my Galaxy SII contract is ending soon and I might be willing to pay a little more to get the S4.

I would love to get the S4 since I have S2, so its a reasonable upgrade.
I doubt it. I have the S3 so I will probably wait until the "SV" or until the S3 starts to feel old and unable to do what I want it to do.

I will not, because to be honest it is only a minor update compared to the S3. It is essentially the same phone but a better screen and SoC and a whole bunch of touchwiz "features". I never use touchwiz anyway...

Just got an s3 last february.....wont be getting an s4 until late this year or early next year...

I'm definitely getting the s4. Love the new real metal band around the phone. I was disappointed at first at the lack of styling changes until I saw the s3 - s4 comparison photos. It is absolutely a stunning phone.
Now only question is, International octa core versiob minus the lte or a quad core snapdragon us version. I opted for the international version for the gs3

Nah. As a TMO user who enjoys the International/World phones: Galaxy S4 news was a disappointment. Was really hoping Samsung would've stuck with just 1 phone especially for us who enjoy Samsung using Wolfson DACs in their phones instead of mediocre Qualcomm SoCs. Their desire to constantly do yearly releases with little benefits is wasteful. They should've just stuck to promoting the S3 alongside software updates until they really have a good product on their hand.

What groundbreaking hardware? The same SoC as GS4, but slightly lower clock speed?
Or do you just mean the materials used and front facing speakers?

AW: Will you be getting the Samsung Galaxy S4?
Will stick to my i9001 for a while despite 8cores are quite attractive.

Samsung never...
It doesn't have good build quality and manufacturers dont give what they are promising
..I have personally experienced that with s2 and I know my friends who got broke note 2 just by falling from 2 feet...
And one more thing exynos processors they are closed source..which means not devloper friendly..
Custom roms has too many bugs..and they r using octacore word just for attracting more people

HTC One is still the best phone.. even better the s4!
After using HTC for the last couple of years I really hate phones that feel cheap. The plastic quality build of Samsung phones makes me stay away from them. And I'm not a fan of TouchWiz at all.

New phone choice

OK all, I'm ready to upgrade but, I'm stuck on what to have. I have been using the amazingly versatile Galaxy SII for just over two years. I love the flexibility of Android and the quality of Samsung so that is where I plan on staying. My options are excessive, which one of the following devices shop you recommend. I have decided it will be one of these because of the screen size.
Galaxy S4
Galaxy Mega
Galaxy Note 2
Galaxy 8
Alternatively, I am intrigued by the S4 zoom, I take a lot of pics. But, I am not convinced the lack of screen size is made up for with a better zoom.
And go........

s4 zoom the best for picturing but personally I prefer s4 LTE
Come on people I need more than one response

I'd definitely go with the S4. My coworker has the note 2 and i have the s4 and i like mine a lot more than hers. with the note 2 they only advantage is the screen size, the s4 has the air gestures, remote capability, quad core, etc. i love it, the best phone ive ever had, i got it almost 2 weeks ago and im still learning from it.
Samsung Galaxy S4 ! You will not regret...!
Yeah the Samsung Galaxy S4 would be a good buy from the list you gave.

Apologies for not responding earlier, I don't care about cost, and to make it worse I've decided to go for the Sony Ericsson Z1 haha, I have decided it tackles all my needs. Screen size, quality, and with the new interchangeable lenses it's all good
