Hi,
Sony forget!
Samsung have a very good performance but a have bad UI.
HTC good performance and a very good 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.
cheers

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.

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.

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.

[Q] [BUYING]Which new phone price around $700?

Hello all,
Im planning to buy a new phone with a maximum price of around 700 dollar. I was thinking about the iphone, so there is my price based on!!
I want to use my phone for music and movies, kind of media center. The camera isn't an important part. Just for the basic media. Also i like to have fast internet.
Gaming isn't also not really necessary.
I had touch and a qwerty before. I like the qwerty but touch only is ok too! So some options i would like beside the iphone! And how good is wm7? Because the interface looks extremely cool!
Thanks in advance,
Wouter
1. Basically, I do not like any of the WP7 handsets...beside...all of them are very cheap now...HTC Trophy is under €200 here where I live...they are simply a fail product to me..
2. I am an Android freak so I will pick an Android such as Samsung Galaxy S2 or HTC Sensation.
3. If you like iPhone 4, well... I am not a fan of it either...but you might also wanna consider it.
4. Nokia X7 and E7 are also not bad...you might wanna consider them too.
Forgot to be mentioned, E7, X7, Galaxy S2 and Sensation are the newest flagships.
They should have the best hardwares at the moment, even iPhone 4 is old compared to them.
never by symbians mobile for a while as the market is not improving with it as the android phones and the iphone are worth value.if u want a android phone of worth $700 here s the list
see for LG Optimus Black P970
Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II
Samsung
Google Nexus S I9020A
HTC Incredible S/Desire S/Wildfire S
Unless nokia is releasing thr windows phone by October we have to depend upon android OS
If you want the best of the best, I will narrow down things for you.
HTC Sensation and Samsung Galaxy SII are the best there is at the moment.

I checked the HTC sensation since i love the htc phones. I really like it. And it's android. By the way symbian ill never buy. Well, since im not really a fan of samsung i really want to eliminate that one, because i had two samsungs and i couldn't work with both.
Another question is, where is sony ericsson, is it completely off the market?
And by the sensation is mentioned on their site: 'Surround sound'. What kind of sound should i expect, not some crappy beta sound i hope? Someone that has experience with the phone?
Thanks for all your answers.
Greets,
Wouter
Sony ericson? well...Sony has not release any new phones, which I like...but the Xperia play does not look very bad either.
The thing is, if your eyes are already used to Sense, Sonys UI looks terrible
For 700$ (depending where you live) you can get most of the new phones. I myself would go for an Samsung Galaxy....unfortunately i am still stuck with my HD2 .
I was never a fan of the iPhone and for sure my next phone will be one with an Android system!
I've had a captivate for around a year.
It's pretty, and fast. Any Galaxy S/S II phones are really nice. It's pretty good for media. It has a decent battery. I have really enjoyed the phone.

Go with the Sensation if you like Sense 3.0. Or go with the Galaxy S 2 if you like Touchwiz 4.0.
The Galaxy S 2 have a much bigger internal storage by the way.

[Q] Which dual-core phone to buy???

Hi guys,
I am kind of confused which dual core cellphone to go for... I need some help from you guys..
Below are my options:
Motorola Razr XT910
Samsung Galaxy SII
HTC Sensation XE
Sony Xperia S
BTW, I am from India... any other optioins?
I am using Galaxy S2.
But, I think Xperia S looks good.
Save Money and buy HTC from One Sersies, if not Xperia S will be best.
S2 is a good choice, Touchwiz makes it easier to use. I haven't tried the others but I've heard that Motorolas blur sucks. Xperia looks good but I don't know anything else about it.
Check some reviews and see which suits you the best.

Don't be afraid of the thanks button!
Sony Xperia S!!
Or Samsung Galaxy S2!!
But I prefer the Xperia S, more beautiful, with HD screen, 12Mpx camera (I know, it doesn't mean a thing, but Sony is really good with camera lens), Timescape is more beautiful than TouchWiz. The S2 is quite common. But the Xperia S has a quite high SAR :/ I don't know if you care about that.
I would go with Galaxy S2 or HTC Sensation. Both are very nice and have been upgraded officially to ICS. Although if you plan to flash it with a custom ROM right out of the box that doesn't matter much.
I have an S2 and I've heard nothing but praise for it for anyone really. The Razr has good hardware but Motoblur ruins the experience. I'd wait a bit, in two weeks they should be releasing info on the S3
I would go with the s2 for now but rather wait for the s3 or the quadrant core optimus 4x hd
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Sony Xperia S
SAMSUNG GALAXY S II or wait for SAMSUNG GALAXY S III!!
Xperia S is best choice!
Definitely Samsung Galaxy SII I'd say.
Thanks a lot guys!!.. I think i am gonna go for SII
Advice
Sumsung galaxy sⅡ is cool。。You should better buying it.

Asking for your advice, what should I buy?

I am buying a new phone in the next few days, but I have no idea what to get. Actually I never had this problem before because everytime I bought a new phone some device that I really must-have hit the market same time. Last time it was the htc desire.
Anyways there is no such device at the market right now so I am struggeling for what to get.
Here are my needs:
- I want pretty state-of-the-art device as I will have to use it for at least 2 years from now on.
- Big screen is not that important to me as I own a galaxy tab where I do most of my mobile browsing and youtubing.
- Camera is one of the most important features to me (mostly photos, not much videos), so a good image quality is mandatory to me.
- Good mp3 player sound quality. (I dont care about included headphones only quality of the device itself)
- I am very picky when it comes to build quality.
- Battery should last a whole day on average use.
- I don't "fancy up" my homescreens so non-customizable homescreens like on iOS would be totally ok for me.
So what do you guys think would get me satisfied? I nailed it down to sgs3, htc one x and iPhone 4s at the moment, but I am open for other suggestions.
Every suggestion might help me, so please post your thoughts!
Thanks in advance.
As a Sony fan, I would say to you take a look at Xperia S. Not the really lattest, but it runs really perfect, a really good camera (saw some comparasions, I think it looks better than GS3 one), and a perfect design. And it will have a good support from Sony.
Get the Samsung Galaxy S 3. I will never tire of recommending this phone. It fits your criteria perfectly,the international one with exynos at least.Or you could consider the Optimus 4x HD for the battery life.

Thanks for your replies!
Galaxy s3 is out for me now, I watched comparison videos alot and they all paint the same picture: the s3 has a really, really bad camera. Combined with the low sound quality this is a no-go for me.
The sony xperia s looks pretty promising!
Now my desicion list is: xperia s, htc one x, iphone 4s
Another thing I want to mention is that I dislike "purse-phones" like the note. Galaxy s3 and htc one x are pretty damn close to too-big. I bought a note for my girl but I am a dude, want to put my phone in my pants pocket.
Thanks again for your replies, I would love to read even more!
Sounds to me like you've already chosen. All that is left is the Sony Xperia S. I'd avoid iPhone, just cause it's expensive for less features.
Sent from my U8150 using XDA
i would personally
if i were in your shoes.ill go with htc one x.Camera great.Battery up to your criteria.screen is marvelous.Alot of support from developers for roms.and tegra 3..eve though i only own a nexus one.and been using it for three years makes me a great fan of htc and android..
One X but I'd like a confirmation that it's the newer HW now that it's confirmed there is Wi-Fi issue Also LG are releasing soon and specs look good but I've never touched one before...

Galaxy S3
Thread can be closed now.
I went to the store and tried a few devices. Galaxy s3 and htc one x are way to big for me (as expected) so the descicion was between iphone and xperia s. I almost bought the xperia because of the really great camera, but (maybe its just me) i have to hit the softkeys like 3 times until they respond :-/
Got an iPhone 4s in the end, even though it was the most expensive of all. I am pretty satisfied until now, only thing I dont like is the display, it has very weak colors. Everything else is working great for me
Thanks alot to everybody who replied!!!
Glad u like the Iphone, i had one for a week and took it back due to sound sucks,and i did not like not running android for that much money and being able to do so little i re turned and went back to my ssgII till i can get the SSG SIII

opinion about the galaxy s4

I personally used HTC one and now am using Galaxy s4.The only area where the HTC one excelled is the build quality but to be honest s4 quality is not too bad .it is really solid compared to the Galaxy s3.HTC one is loaded with creepy software where everything is a confusion.not many new options are introduced in the htc one except the boom sound,blink feed .I dont know why the blogs are giving bad reviews to the galaxy s4.it is lot better compared to htc one,xperia z or zl and any other smartphones now even the one of the most useless iphone 5 which is the longest phone according to Apple :cyclops:
so please share your opinions about the s4...

Only American reviews bashed the s4. Also blogs tend to want to start trends so if the big ones start talking about plastic vs aluminum everyone else will. All bad reviews are based on build materials only. Anyway you can't force your choice on others

Don't have the S4 yet but from vids, reviews and users I can say that the S4 has a better build quality then the One. Build quality is no the same as design and choice of material. Many One users complain(Ed) about speakers falling off, gap between the screen and the body of the phone stuff like that. The S4 doesn't have a flaw in its build. Sure its plastic but it is well build. There's no crack any where, no holes or nothing.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I have to say, I just switched from the HTC One to the S4. The One is a quality piece of hardware. The speakers on the front is really nice and it feels really good in the hand. I have 2 primary issues with it. One, Sense has not kept up with the latest good features that have been added to JellyBean. It seems to be a really dated interface. Two, ok, so you don't like the OS provided, unlock the bootloader using the HTC supplied method. OOps, now you have voided your hardware warranty (and they know about it). Big problem when your non-user serviceable battery dies a year into your 2 year contract....
The S4 is not as sexy a hardware platform, but it has better OS, and given enough time, you should be able to root/unlock and install your own OS. Even if it voids your warranty, you can still replace the battery, add micro SD memory and more. Right now I will settle for rooting it and removing bloatware.
I also don't have the Samsung Galaxy S4 yet but I would love to buy as soon as payday comes. I love the features and also I am looking for the quality of camera when buying a phone and it's good. Hoping to have the phone soon.

[Q] Which phone to buy?

Hello everyone! I am planning on upgrading my Samsung Epic 4G. I am debating on the following 4 phones:
- Samsung Galaxy S2
-ZTE Warp Sequent
- HTC Evo Design
- HTC One SV
Those four phones are from Boost Mobile, since that is where I have my service from.
I am basically looking for speed and reliability. Love to take photos and videos as well. I use the navigation feature a lot. Things I hate most on a phone are lag, freeze, force closes, random reboots, and lack of internal space.
I will be researching on these phones but I was wondering what are your ideas? I know lots of people here are pros and would love your input.
Thank you all in advance!
EDITED:
I just realized this should have been posted in the "Which Phones To Buy" Thread...... I tried to delete this thread but couldn't figure it out. .I apologize for this inconvenience.
For me between the four phones you're hesitating, I would have chosen the HTC One SV. His performance are pretty good performance and it's not too expensive.
But if you are a flashaholic, the Galaxy S2 is obviously the better choice there are plenty of roms and kernels which make that the phone is still very good despite the fact that it is a bit old.
In term of photos and videos, I think that the HTC One SV is the best one.
Sorry man but I do not know a lot about the two other phones so i can't give you my opinion.
Anyway both phones are very good, the manufacturers and the phones are well known so you shouldn't be deceive by these phones but I will personally have chosen the HTC One SV or the Galaxy S2.

Thanks! Much appreciated! So far, I'm gearing towards the S2, although I kind of wish I can get the S4 but financially I cant.....but will continue to do my homework on the other phones I've listed. Thanks again!
If I helped please hit "thank", that will really help me

I've had the S2 for 2 years, in that price range, you won't find a better phone in it's basic form, never mind the extras through modded Roms
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
For me, I will choose Samsung Galaxy S2,
Due to I use Sony, Iphone, Moto, I think I should have a try on Samsung.
I advise you to take a S2
I would go for the HTC One SV. I have the HTC One S and I just love the HTC Sense look and feel. Additionally, everything runs smooth, the phone is not too small and not too big and fits perfectly into my pockets.
galaxy s3 is very good choice after all
Thanks everyone! Well, after doing some heavy research, looks like the Samsung Galaxy S2 is the winner! Although I would love to take the S3 but financially, I can only do the S2. There are plenty of Roms, Kernels, and tweaks for the S2. I love the fact that the S2 is fully customizable. The specs for the price is great. For $199, you can't be it. Now, to find the perfect Rom......
