In terms of battery life, CPU performance and other functions that make it a good phone...
It depends what you are going to use your phone for and it basically comes down to personal preference. I have a hTC Desire and i think its the best phone i have ever owned. I rooted it and i am running AuraxTSense, a custom ROM, if your new to Android, if you root your phone you void the warranty and in the process you carry what ever risks come with it. Good OEMS to do research on are Samsung, Motorola, hTC & LG. They have handsets catered to every type of user.
Captivate! Hands down.
I'm a fan of the samsung fascinate. Check it out!
Well, I love the spex of my atrix

Like the posts above it depends. Without the devs my Epic is trash. With the devs and custom roms that phone is amazing plus its damn near impossible to brick it and thats a huge plus

I love the Samsung Galaxy S lineup. But without the Devs (and root), these phones just don't reach their true potential.

Samsung Vibrant
I have yet to install other ROMs on it, as i am having trouble, but until then i have the android OS 2.2 Froyo on my vibrant with T-Mobile. The Battery power isn't fantastic, wont last longer than a day, sometimes not a full day, but the music, web, and apps are great! I hear some ROMs are great for battery power so if they really do help, the vibrant is a great phone.
Galaxy s.

Samsung Galaxy is nice. You can go for HTC models also.
oh come on guys its the {Samsung Nexus S}
I can suggest you motorola or acer (Better in my region but assistance will be little bad)
htc desire,highly recommended!samsung builds quality phones as well but they are the worst when it comes to longtime support of their hardware (not that it matters when you are on xda already ;-) )
Nexus S .
I vote Nexus S. I've owned a lot of android phones and this thing is hands down the absolute best. Lack of SD card annoys a lot of people though.

I think I would go with Galaxy S
I would wait for the EVO 3d
if the thunderbolt had at least a 1600mah battery it would win for sure even now its a beast. but when the evo 3d comes out it will be the **** (specs wise +1730mah batt)

I'm using an x10. Wouldn't advise this, tbh, but thanks to XDA I've had 2.2 and 2.3 roms, and it's a beautifully built phone. Basically, you need to find out what you need from your phone. If it's only calls/txts you need, get a Nokia 3310: it does the job admirably(still). But if you want to browse, check emails, play games, personalize, experiment, annoy your wife/girlfriend/kids, get any android phone that is gonna be supported beyond 2.1 Or if the latter parts don't apply, get an iOS or symbian phone...

yea came from the vibe too, my was leggy as well but it would use the treadmill daily so they were pretty tone.
Nexus One b/c I was tired of running out of memory for apps or switching to the slower app2sd, and I wanted a better multi-touch screen, and I wanted a slightly bigger screen, and I wanted "4G", and I wanted a developer friendly phone.

Left my Nexus One in a pants pocket and ran it through the wash last April. Tried going back to my still perfect launch day MT3G for a week or so but it was too damn slow. After just a few minutes of researching my current on-contract choices I picked up my launch week G2x in a local T-Mo store.
I like my G2x alright, but I do miss my rock solid N1.

I previously had a Vibrant, and loved it. Unfortunately I had a pretty intense water accident with it (sat in a jacuzzi for 10 min before realizing it was in my pocket). I am eligible for an upgrade and am torn on phones. I have to get a phone by the 25th, so I can't wait for the Hercules, so I'm wondering, should I even bother with the SGS4G? Or should I look elsewhere at the Sensation or G2X?

Yes. I think you should "bother" with this phone
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
By bother, I mean is it worth it to get, its almost six months old and I know that its not running on much different hardware than the vibrant (which is one reason I'm so attracted to it) but I want a beast, not a puppy when it compares to other phones in good old performance. Haha I realize now that "bother" wasn't quite the right word. I guess the better phrase is, is it worth it to get over the other new powerhouses?

I don't know anything about the sensation but my wife had a g2x and that was one big ass soggy piece of crap. Nothing but problems came from that thing. Needless to say we swapped it out. As far as the sgs4g goes I love this phone and would never pick a g2x over it.

I would get the sensation in my opinion... Dual core processor.. Gingerbread out of the box, more pixel density, metal instead of plastic. The only thing that sucks is battery, but all phones suck on battery

My sister has the SGS4 and I used a sensation at the store but I have yet to find a g2x to mess with....
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I played with the sensation at the store and I liked it alot but I couldnt tell a whole lot of difference. But hardware wise the sensation has the high ground and it has sense 3.0 which I like alot. I,love my sgs4g but I personally like the sensation more. If only the new sgs4gs had 2.3.4 and tw4.5 or something new then it would be a beast.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
G2x is a solid phone, if it didnt have all the issues it would probably top the sensation. I like the g2x, stock android and very very fast! Sensation is an excellent phone as well, reminded me too much of my nexus one though.
You can't really go wrong with either one (IF you get a good g2x without problems) slim chance it seems to be. Battery life on g2x wasnt great barely 6-8 hours or so, sensation is alittle better though. Galaxy s 4g is nice, no issues running kg4 and probably getting around 2 days plus on one charge.
May want to consider a nexus s as well if you are looking at this phone. Personally I would try to hold off for another month or so, new nexus may roll out, the sgs2 or whatever itll be called? If you must choose now, pick up a cheap galaxy s4g off craigslist.
Sgs4g is great but either the sensation or g2x is def a better choice. Better dev communities and better phones period.. dual core ftw. Hercules is a phone to end all phones though.. why can't u wait??
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Not sure about G2x, but the SG4G is way better than Sensation 4G
Sensation got a good screen, but, the battery life sux. Also the call quality is not good as SG4G. Low ring ton volume is disappointing also. Audio quality (headphone) of SG4G (with voodoo) is 100 times better than Sensation.
Why not just get a phone like the Sensation on the 24th of this month and if the Hercules comes out before your 14 day return period then just swap it out for the Hercules.
But if you live in the wonderful state of California, then you get 30 days to swap it out.
You guys are all looking at software issues. Hardware wise, the other phones are newer...so of course the others will be faster, have more memory, etc. most, if not all, the issues will probably be addressed by the community. I have no complaints about this phone, but do your research on the development of the others.

Hercules has the qualcomm snapdragon dual core, when compared to the exynos on my sgs2, it feels like comparing a core i5 to a pentium dual core. But the screen size is a plus, but it will probably kill the battery really quickly.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 using XDA Premium App
Tough choice, while the sgs4g is a solid device, it is older hardware wise. On the other hand the g2x and sensation has a plethora of issues.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 using XDA Premium App
Well the reason I can't wait is because I added a line on the 26th and only got the sim. So I have until then to get a new phone at contract price. I don't know if they will let me buy it and still have the 30 days (I live in california). Otherwise maybe I will get the sensation and hold it til the herc comes.

Or you could just keep the Sensation. The Hercules is not that much of an upgrade anyways, unless you're dying for an AMOLED+ screen.
They have the same processor. Plus, if you're into modding, the Sensation is very close to a full working build of CM7. So you can only imagine how fast that will be. And it's a qHD screen while the Hercules is not.
I think I need to research the qHD screen. It didn't look very impressive to me, but I only used the phone for 2 minutes or so. The thing is, I LOVED the super AMOLED on the vibrant.

I just left the GS4G for the Sensation. The GS4G is ok, but it's middle of the road in terms of specs these days.

the best phone on the planet, until SGS3 comes along
mu best is omia 7
Lumia 800 or dvp, 800 is the better of the two but the dvp has excellent longevity.
Best potential. HD2
Best that I've enjoyed. Vibrant once I got used to the lag. Great screen, sound, good battery, capable OS with great push support and social integration.
Worst. HD7. Poor battery and screen. Basically was a feature phone for first year. No apps, dubious browser, terrible calendar.

I used to think my Droid X was the best I ever had, but I have a DROID Incredible 2 and I love it now. I easily fall in love with my most current phone.
Samsung galaxy S, it is m first and only Android phone.
I'm still using my first Android phone, (Nexus One), so i guess it's the best one i've ever had!
Before that i had two WM phones and they were half as good as any Android device on the market today.
Galaxy S 2 by far!
I had a Nokia 3210 - you could drive over that thing and it'd still work. Built like a tank. Have a Samsung Galaxy S now, I'm careful not to drop it but the media playing and web browsing benefits when you compare the two just about balances it out
