Hello guys. And yes, i have tried the search, but idk why didnt get any answers ,tho im pretty sure there might be similar threads.
So i am planning to get a new phone, and since my friend informed me of android i instantly became a fan.
I would like to buy a low end - mid range android phone, but not sure which one. so far optimus one looks the best, but not flawless. I looked at samsungs but they are just ... err cant find the right word.... not for me, so to speak. and them darn htc's are way over priced... theyre becoming the second apple where you pay only for the name ,i like the htc legend, but its almost the same or even worse than optimus one in some specs (tho looks way cooler) and costs almost twice as much (in my country).
so.. i am kinda lost. maybe i should wait for some gingerbread updates and see if they fix optimus ones probs and then just get it.
ty for any feedback.
What carrier are you on?

You are joking...
Legend
Capacitive display (more responsive, multitouch support)
5mp camera w/ flash
unibody construction
384mb RAM
HTC Sense
Optimus
Resistive display (less responsive, no multitouch support)
3.1mp camera, no flash
Plastic body
256mb RAM
Stock android
They both have the same armv6 cpu at 600mhz, but you'll get smoother browsing on the Legend due to htc's modified browser.
Not saying you should get either, just saying, the Legend is does not have lower specs than the Optimus.

dont mean to be rude, but you sir are mixing lg optimus gt540 with optimus one also known as p500. which has exatcly the same size and pixel display as the legend, 512 ram and 2.2 android out of the box, yes it has a 3 mpix camera without flash, but that is something i dont care about. the design is plastic, some rubbery feeling, and metal strip around. really like it, feels like my old w880
edit: the carrier has no impact in my country, we dont have T mobile, orange, and so on (as in, not the same deals as u might have)

Nice phone if you are looking for HTC
okay, i'm going to be straight up honest, in my opinion, lg has a horrible skin over android that makes the os sluggish and ugly. they however make really good harware. that's why i liked the g2x because it was stock android. honestly, if you're a first time android, i recommend the nexus line because that's how google really envisioned it to be like and you'll get the best experience with it. the nexus s is quite lovely. if you want the newest tech, then save up for the galaxy nexus. it's really expensive
LG... maybe not
Maybe totally off-topic
My father has an LG optimus one, and you know what? it's great. It's such a cool phone, but....
By the time my father bought his phone, I bought a samsung galaxy S2. I know, i know, it's more expensive that your two options, but you gotta think that the new galaxy SIII is just around the corner and so, the prices of the S2 are dropping.
I don't know if you can stretch your budget a liitle bit (maybe a lot) but I can assure you, the galaxy s2 for the first time android user is a life changer. Trust me, this is my first smartphone ever, and my last phone not even had a radio, a very loyal phone, but this is another world. Think about it, and good luck.

Why would you even think not investing money into a higher end phone.
First off it'll last you longer.
Second you'll have a lot more support from devs and fans.
Id never buy a cheap phone, so I suggest one of the galaxy s 2s or HTC Rezound, Vivid, or wait for the galaxy s 3/one x.

Okay so here is my question when sprint releases its new 4G LTE should i get the Galaxy Nexus or the Sprint htc evo one (htc one x) i have heard a lot about both but i cant make a decesion.
also it has been rummored that the sprints version of the htc one x will be called the htc evo one and that sprint is trying to incorperate a kick stand (hell ya) and a bigger battery. the galaxy nexus as far as i know will be the same as the other lte galaxy nexus's but it will be sprints 4G LTE's flagship device and the htc evo one (htc one x) is suppose to be released sometime in june
Please provide your opinion and why thank you very much.
pictures of both devices
specs just as a refresher
HTC EVO ONE is rumored to feature a 4.7 inch 720p AMOLED screen with a dual-core 1.5GHz krait processor under the hood. The latter is the same CPU that the AT&T version of the HTC One X is rockin'. There will be a 2650 mAh non-removable battery powering the phone and 16GB of internal memory which can be bumped up using the microSD slot. An 8MP camera is on back with a 2MP front-facing shooter. Android 4.0 is installed out of the box along with Sense 4.0 and it is a Beats Audio device. The HTC EVO ONE will offer LTE connectivity.
The Samsung GALAXY Nexus is the first phone to run Android Ice Cream Sandwich - the version that is meant to put an end to fragmentation. The handset uses the concept of button-less front and thin bezel to fit a 4.65" HD Super AMOLED display in a phone the size of handsets with smaller screens. It is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core TI OMAP 4460 processor, and capable of shooting HD 1080p video.
So what I am basically asking is overall comparing both phones which one looks better?
Here is a list of a couple of specs:
Incredible 4G,
Screen: 4-inch qHD LCD screen
Processor: 1.2GHz dual-core processor, S4
RAM: 1GB
Camera: 8-megapixel rear, VGA front
OS: 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with HTC Sense 4.0
Resolution: 540 x 960 pixels, 275 ppi
Battery: 1700 mAh
Memory: Internal 8GB, up to 32GB microSD
Size: 2.4 x 4.8 x 0.46 inches
Weight: 4.66 ounces
Rezound
Screen: S-LCD capacitive touchscreen
Processor: Dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion
RAM: 1GB
Camera: 8 MP, 3264x2448 pixels, autofocus, dual-LED flash, 2 MP Front
OS: Android OS, v2.3.4, HTC Sense v3.5 UI
Resolution: 720 x 1280 pixels, 4.3 inches (~342 ppi pixel density)
Battery: 1620 mAh
Memory: Internal 16GB, up to 32GB MicroSD
Size: 129 x 65.5 x 13.7 mm
Weight: 6.00010 ounces
So what do you guys think? I am sure that more specs would be available later on.

I would prefer Incredible 4G
Just a few corrections, the display is S-LCD on the Incredible 4G (Perhaps even S-LCD2? Since the specs were quite vague, and didn't even mention the S4 processor), and it has 8gb internal memory.
I would rather take the Incredible 4G, mainly because it's ICS based, and it's lighter/thinner than the Rezound. The Rezound is a brick lol. I also like the 4" screen. You might want to add on that the camera that it has ImageSense, which is a new camera chip used in the One Series (and presumably this device). The camera on the One Series has been described as "near perfect", so looking forward to that.
Imo I would take the rezound. Better screen resolution and processor. ICS doesn't matter because the rezound is bound to get an update anyway sooooo yyyeaa
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA
I can't find any compelling reason to not go Rezound. it's $200 less, the screen is truly magnificent, and moar megahertz!
if ICS is a must-have right now, then wander on over to the development section and find the latest CleanROM. lean, stable, and fast

The processor is not better on the Rezound. It's clocked at 1.5ghz on an S3, but the Inc4g is clocked at 1.2ghz on the S4. The S4 is a significant improvement over the S3 and should help a lot with battery life and performance.
What the inc4g has going for it:
S4 processor (LTE on-chip)
4" screen (if you like that size)
NFC
Much better battery life
Thinner
Lighter
ICS out of the box
Sense 4.0
3 capacitive button layout
Better camera (ImageSense)
Also it will not be priced at 299$, that was left over from the Droid Razr Maxx template the Dinc4G page was based from. It'll likely be priced 149$ to 199$. Possibly even as low as 99$.
Leaning toward the incredible 4G, I do wish it had a better pixel density. But with a lower clock and smaller screen, I can definitely see the incredible getting a better battery life.
But until its out and I try it for myself, I am undecided,
Also, the Rezound is a brick, especially when coming from the original incredible.
I almost forgot the incredible had a next gen processor...its kind of like my G2 how it was underclocked to 800 mhz but was an uprgade processor model from qualcomm at the time...

"Behold brilliance on the large 4" super LCD qHD display, on a device that still fits right in your hand"

When will XDA give the INC 4G it's own forum to talk about it? Both the Rezound and DInc original forums have some threads about it.
Rezound
Go for the Rezound - it has a bigger, better screen, and it's supposedly going to have ICS around May 9th. If you can save a bunch of money AND get an ICS device with better internals, then I see no reason to get the Incredible.
honestly the incredible 4g have the s4 over s3 that only advantage most of us here are rooting our device anyway so i dont think ics is big factor. As most of users in xda developers come here to remove the apps or overclock and so on reasons.
I'm an HTC fan thru and thru but the s3 does seem worth taking a gander... Verizon user

Clearly you missed the title of the OP... "HTC incredible 4G or Samsung s3?"
He's not looking for a comparison of the year-old Incredible 2/S. Not to mention the specs you gave for the SGSIII are clearly not those of the Verizon one (looking specifically at processor, for one example).
Getting back to comparison the OP wanted...
They'll both be great phones... so it largely comes down to personal preference.
TouchWiz vs. Sense 4
For folks who prefer vanilla android and are going to wipe any manufacturer OS off of their phone immediately, this may not be a factor. But for someone like me, and it sounds like the OP too, Sense 4 is a major factor. Sense 4 is an amazing OS. TouchWiz is a steaming pile of poo. It's as simple as that. You can always take TouchWiz off the SGSIII, but you can't pus Sense 4 on it.
4.8" display vs. 4" display
Some people prefer large displays, some prefer smaller displays. For me, I'm the latter, but it's not one of my major priorities. If not for TouchWiz, I could consider giving up my preference for a smaller display in order to get the SGSIII if the Incredible release keeps slipping out. On the topic of displays though... while size is mostly personal preference, in terms of display quality/technology, the Incredible 4G has the slight edge there.
Setting aside those two subjective/personal preference items, there are some areas where the SGSIII objectively bests the Incredible spec-wise, although the differences are not all that significant...
The SGSIII processor is clocked a little higher, but needs it for the huge screen. I don't expect much actual difference there. Not to mention, the jury is still out on exactly which chip will be in the Incredible 4G... so far most signs point to it being 1.5GHz underclocked... so that would erase the small difference here.
The SGSIII camera is a wee bit better, but not overly so. If The Incredible 4G had the ImageChip, then this would be a different story, but it doesn't so the SGSIII wins here. Having said that though, the Incredible 4Gs camera is still a great camera in it's own right and won't disappoint.
The SGSIII has 2GB of RAM, the Incredible 4G only has 1. Its debatable whether or not all that is necessary, but nevertheless the SGSIII wins here.
Aside from those differences, everything else is more or less equivalent. They both have all the bells and whistles... Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, microSD, removable battery, etc.
The only other thing to consider is the dev community. Originally, I surmised that the Incredible 4G would have a pretty great dev community... it was slated to be released right on the 2 year anniversary of the original so it would be capturing a lot of 2 year upgraders. Unfortunately, Verizon has botched the release of this phone so badly, that's not really the case anymore. They've likely already lost a lot of those upgraders and will probably lose more to the fact that it's being released more-or-less at the same time as the SGSIII. The Incredible 4G will probably still have a good dev community despite that, but not nearly what it could have been. Regardless, the SGSIII is being released on all major carriers, so it will surely have the better dev community anyway.
So as I said... it's mostly personal preference with only small differences in specs.
I really don't understand why people keep comparing these two phones. They're clearly in different classes, if by size standards alone! It seems to me folks hear that two new phones are coming out and immediately ask which one to buy before doing a simple Google search.
Edit, to make this post a bit more constructive: Are you interested in a big phone or a little phone. That should be enough to rule out one or the other. Then you can compare within their respective classes.
HTC its the best smartphone ever

A $50 difference shouldn't be that big of a deal if you're looking to commit to a new device for the next 20 months.
You'll miss HTC Sense i think.
If you want a good screen go to S3.
If you want a good ui, ergormic etc, take a HTC !
I leaved my Desire to a Nexus, but I love so far HTC Sense avec widgets, the UI missed me. So i take back my HTC desire ^^'

Big doesn't necessarily mean good. There's nothing that impressive about pentile AMOLED, and the ppi is barely over 300. Size aside, I'd rather a still good 275 ppi and get non-pentile SLCD.
Obviously, if big is what you're looking for, none of that matters though.
I don't get people. These phones are nowhere near similar. How cheap are you when buying a phone? That will answer your question outright.

Totally agree... post-development of the community outside mother Samy is to be considered... Surely more to...play with GS3 !
The successor to the One S has (probably) been announced.
It is called the Desire 600. It has:
Code:
• A 4.5in 540x960 SLCD2 display
• A 1.2Ghz quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor
• An Adreno 203 GPU
• 1GB RAM
• 8GB storage (wut?)
• A microSD slot (ah)
• An 8MP camera with f/2.0 lens
• A 1.6MP front camera
• NFC
• Dual-SIM capability
• And [B]NO[/B] LTE compatibility.
It comes in two colour combinations, silver with a black screen and red trim, or completely black. The silver one looks disgusting.
Link to picture - original image is waaaaaaaaay too big to fit on this page.
It comes shipped with 4.1.2 and Sense 5. BoomSound is included, no word on Zoe yet (so probably not included).
It's on pre-order in Russia at the moment for 15,990 ruble (GB £340, US $509).
HTC say:
The new HTC Desire 600 dual sim will be available with mobile operators and major retailers in a number of markets from early June 2013. For more information visit www.htc.com

i dont think that this phone can be Successor of One S. if a 720p display was included then it was a Successor. i think is successor of desire x..
My thinking was that:
Code:
• One X/XL/X+ has 4.7in display, and so does the One (M7)
• Desire 600 has 4.5in display
• One S has 4.3in display
• Desire X has 4.0in display
So it would be logical to say that this phone is an upgrade to ours. The only problem with out screen wasn't the resolution, it was the crappy PenTile RGBG layout that HTC chose for it. By making it SLCD2, that should improve quality (but makes colours far less vivid). Also, it has NFC, which our phone doesn't have. It has a microSD card slot, which our phone doesn't have. And it has 2 more cores, which our phone doesn't have.
HTC have only confirmed it for Asia and Africa, no European countries (apart from Ukraine) and no American countries, which could suggest that they will cater to our higher standards and bring out a phone with HD screen with AMOLED (hopefully), Zoe and that UltraPixel camera.
Yayyy we can port Sense 5 from this device and although the hardware will be difficult, no resizing needed
The "true" successor" to the one S will be the one mini/M4 (2GB RAM, highly clocked krait, ultrapixel camera, the zero gap metal body construction, boomsound, 720P res. [will most likely be SLCD 2] etc.), this is a successor to the desire X, it is considered part of the budget/mid range series of htc phones.
qHD res. (SLCD 2) with that screen size won't be that great anyway, only be marginally better than our one S, main difference being text
Also, just because it has "more cores", doesn't mean it will be better, afaik, that chipset is based on 45nm, our dual core krait is based on 28nm and looking at the rest of the specs, it doesn't look like it will be as good of a performer when it comes to performance (especially in the GPU department), power efficiency and it will most likely produce more heat.
A really good dual core chipset with 2GB RAM is much better than a budget quad core chipset with 1GB RAM.
The only part of this phone that can be consider a true upgrade (so far) are the speakers, NFC, SD slot (but 8GB of internal storage is very low, only 6GB or so will be usable and these days games etc. are getting big and you can't move stuff to the SD card any more)
That phone more likely is a successor to the Desire series on it's own.
Either way, the big hitter for me now is NFC. If that isn't included by HTC, I am moving elsewhere. Loyalty can only get you so far if they don't listen to the loyal end user. Like a bloody 16 million colour notification LED, there's 518,400 of them on our screen, would it really hurt to add in just one more? And leaving NFC out of this phone was just plain stupid anyway.

These specs are of a low-end device, It's not a 'successor' to the One S in any means, dual SIM suggests it's targeted at developing countries, which is silly considering HTC has been moving away from them.
Edit:
If you want to 'upgrade' to this phone it's fine but it's specs are way worse than what is packaged into our One S, don't get illuded, Snapdragon 200 is Cortex-A5, it's really power efficient but it's the worst you can get of this generation.
I like that, the grey-red combination IMHO is really cool...
Dual-SIM is a really useful feature in the "first world" though, I'd love a flagship phone with that.
HTC are thinking in the long-term by targeting developing countries. When they flourish, the more loyal customers, the better. It's just a question as to if HTC will survive that long.

In my opinion they will not survive if they work same way as now
Their dual SIM have problems
From HTC One S
I think that the successor of our phone will be the HTC one mini... The desire will be the successor to the "desire" series, while the new one mini will be targeted for the one series users who just don't want a 4,5'+ screen.
My opinion

This is not a successor to the One series. Its for the Desire series. So in a way its a successor to the Desire X and SV.
In the one series is the One Mini.
What an interesting device. I'll keep my one s thank you htc

I'll probably convert to the childish side, sadly. My Mum got an S III a few days ago and as much as it pains me to say it, it is quite good. It's just the UI that looks awful, while Sense tries to look somewhat professional, TouchWiz looks like Samsung's target audience is everyone below the age of thirteen. All the features added are really good though, and Samsung give a long long support length. The S II is getting 4.2.2 and our phone might not. The S IV will probably make it to 6.0.

Yes sammy supports long
Reason sense is deeply mix in os & complete
touch viz is just android theme I suppose touch wiz as stock android + change some icons some layout change
think of sammy's gallery, dialer, calendar, clock ......
so when a new android comes they have to change some icons & roll out new OTA update
From HTC One S
Honestly I doubt that will be the successor, as it's not better on all aspects (it looks like).. Guess we'll find out soon enough..

HTC won't upgrade every aspect of it. They always leave one feature out that turns it from a brilliant phone to an "imagine what it could have been" phone.
COOL

The successor to the One S has (probably) been announced.
It is called the Desire 600. It has:
Code:
• A 4.5in 540x960 SLCD2 display
• A 1.2Ghz quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor
• An Adreno 203 GPU
• 1GB RAM
• 8GB storage (wut?)
• A microSD slot (ah)
• An 8MP camera with f/2.0 lens
• A 1.6MP front camera
• NFC
• Dual-SIM capability
• And [B]NO[/B] LTE compatibility.
love my HTC ONE S can't afford the highest band phones so like the sound of this
It comes in two colour combinations, silver with a black screen and red trim, or completely black. The silver one looks disgusting.
Link to picture - original image is waaaaaaaaay too big to fit on this page.
It comes shipped with 4.1.2 and Sense 5. BoomSound is included, no word on Zoe yet (so probably not included).
It's on pre-order in Russia at the moment for 15,990 ruble (GB £340, US $509).
