I'm starting a new thread because all the others I saw on this topic were 2 years old and that is a lifetime in technology world.
I accidentally forgot to take my phone out of my pocket when I went swimming. Worse it was a salt-water pool. So all the metal is corroded, no saving it. I had a Samsung Vibrant. But now looking for perhaps an upgrade.
What are some of the best models to buy? I'm not hugely into changing roms, I like to figure out one I like and stick with it. Also, I have T-mobile service.
So all I know on phone models are Samsung Galaxy S; SII, and SIII. Give me a good one please!
The new line of HTC phones, the One s and One X are pretty cool. Nice and light with amazing screens. The new HTC UI is also lovely.
the Samsung Galaxy S3 is also excellent. Quite similar in terms of weight and size to the HTC phones mentioned.
These are probably the best Android phones on the market at the moment. Theres also the iPhone 4S which is a great phone too, but with smaller screen size than most new Android devices.
Hope this helps
Sony has a flagship(high-end) phone called Xperia S. Hope that contributes to your choices.
Also, I have a tip for you, You should read online reviews on the phones that you are interested in, and, also read the specs carefully,You wont wanna end up with a 600MHz processor or a 2.x" screen, will you?
Best phone for me
I think the new Samsung Galaxy S III is the best phone yet because of its new features. Simply designed for human... hehe... Take a look at this website to know more: http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxys3/
jelly bean
for me if i want to buy a new phone right now i'll buy galaxy nexus. because it gets the most up-to-date android right now that is jelly bean(4.1).
The UI is not so different from the ics but many updates in the software such project butter and google now. you can google it and you'll be suprise.
The project butter make it buttery smooth, it can even match up with quad-core galaxy s3
So for me.Nexus is the one
Buy Galaxy SII and install S3 touchwizz.
If wifi calling were essential, the s2 or s3. Between those two, Itll be down to your budget.
If Wi-Fi calling is less of an importance to you, I'd say +1 on the galaxy nexus all the way.

Please elaborate. Why the SII when the SIII is available?
Which brings me to my next question. Does anyone have both an SGSIII and an HTC One X? I'd really like some feedback for those two.
I'm so impressed with the quality materials and the feel of the One X in hand. While I only tried it in the AT&T store, I really like the build quality, the solid feel, and the UI didn't look too bad either. But I must admit, I'm really a big fan of SWYPE, as offered on the Samsung phones.
S3

I would say the Samsung Galaxy S3 would be the best, but as far as I know it have still some software bugs which need to be improved. If you dont want to pay too much money for a phone, you can choose the Samsung Galaxy S2. I have this one and i am happy with it. it is fast enough for these things I do (use internet, watch some movies while in a bus or subway, listen to musik, learning and play sometimes a game).
The S3 have more features and is faster and so on, but its your choice.
Depend on money, on things you want to do with it and maybe a bit how much you want to show that you have the best
spent a weekend with 2 samsung s3's.on the monday bought the onex international.phone is better built,sense is very nice,the s3 is a verygood phone but for me the onex just feels better in so many little ways.the screen is a joy, the phone fits the hand,zero faults, happy bunny me
Boy S3 or S2 if you want to spend less money.

Laggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg thats what the s3 lacks the one x has plenty
I have a One X and just picked up an S3 for my buddy and every time I play with an S3, I like it less and less. From the horribly plastic build, to its ugly design, to the crappy bluish pentile screen. As far as I'm concerned the only benefits it provides over the One X are the SD slot and extra RAM. The One X is superior in every other regard.

I'm speaking specifically of the S4 version of the One X which does not have any of the problems that the Tegra version has. In no way does the S3 rape the S4 One X in terms of performance or battery. They have the same SOC so they are completely comperable. Battery life in the S4 One X is ridiculous. I can get 2 days and over 6 hours screen on time. That's unheard of with android.
Sure the S3 is polycarbonate but it FEELS like a cheap plastic POS. And blue or white? Where's the black? They look like shiny plastic toys and they are fingerprint magnets. The One X feels solid and looks soo much nicer. I really think the build on the S3 belies the actual power of the phone. And sorry man, I'm glad you like the SAMOLED screen but it just can't touch the SLCD2 of the One X. Every reviewer on the internet thinks that the One X's screen is superior because well, it is. The S3's screen is over saturated, not bright at all, doesn't have the viewing angles that the One X has and the pentile is terribly noticeable. If it was a SAMOLED + it would be a different story but it's not. Pentile is a hideous technology and really destroys what would be a high quality screen. Also, at least on the blue model, the glass is tinted blue so the SCREEN is tinted blue. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. Even the deepest black on the S3 has a noticeably blue tint to it. I saw it, the rep at the AT&T store saw it, and my buddy who owns one sees it and hates it. The only reason he got the S3 over the One X was because he needed the SD slot.
The S3 is a great device, no doubt, but when you take everything into acount, I really feel the S4 One X is a much better phone. I'm glad you like your S3, but to me it's akin to a family having a retarded child. They may love it to death, but it doesn't change the fact that it's retarded.

Coming from a Mytouch 3G, then Mytouch 4g, I had enjoyed the HTC experience, then I switched to the Samsung Galaxy S2, it completely blew my mind from the HTC line! now, I know the newer HTC devices have come back and are amazing phones, however, I now have the Galaxy S3 and still couldn't be happier, it is an amazing device and I am happy I made the choice to switch over from HTC to Samsung.
I have done a full review which you can check out on my blog (linked in acct info)
hope this helps
Samsung Galaxy S3 .... If you like big phones.. :silly:
I know how you feel. Any way if your getting a new phone you should get the galaxy s3. But if you want a galaxy s type phone then you should get the galaxy ace 2. It has an 800mhz prosesor dual core so it works like a 1 ghz prosesor but since the second core can be turned off when not needed the battery life on the galaxy ace 2 is increased greatly.
But by all means if you want a 4 core phone full of pow then you should get the galaxy 3. It has s voice. Also has the eye detection. So if you look away from the screen it will turn off. The s3 has a memory card slot. Lots of four core phones don't have that. It will be able to charge wirelessly in a couple of months.
So it really does come down to if you want to spend a hefty amount on a phone that you will probably keep for a few years.
Good luck on your new phone hunt. Hope I helped

Ok so here is the question. I have a choice of those 3 and I am not certain which way to go. I am looking for suggestions that you all have from using the devices and I will provide some sort of criteria so you can give me a better idea.
1. A UI that is intuitive and not a royal pain in the rear to deal with.
2. Seeing as I tend to like to take photo's and watch Movies I would like a device that has a wide range of files it can play but also has a Very good screen and doesn't suffer from banding of lines through the screen and also has good viewability while out doors.
3. Takes good photos and video.
4. I don't care if I have LTE or not considering I am on a 200MB data plan and ALWAYS turn off data unless I Need it when I am out and even than I look for Wi-Fi first.
5. I would Like FM Radio but not a Deal Breaker just like I would Like NFC but again not a deal breaker.
6. Has good Volume when listening through headphones. Don't care so much about external speaker.
7. Has good record at keeping up with Google OS Updates as in ICS and such
Also for those who will say Wait for a different device to come out, that is not an option considering I am running out of time to make a decision within the 30 day return window. I think I have like 8 days left.
Anyway I await information about what you all think and thanks in advance to all who do answer.
None of the above. Import a Galaxy Note instead, it bests all 3 of those. 5.3" AMOLED 1280x800 resolution with a 1.4 GHz Exynos chip.
The SkyRocket is basically the SGS2 with a larger screen. I would choose either of the Samsungs before I would an HTC. I don't much care for the low-quality HTC brand.
droid razr seems awesome!
Well i think the Notes out since it looks like you will be buying on contract. If you are buying off contract i would recommend the Galaxy nexus which comes out this week and should be available for import soon
The skyrocket is like the galaxy s2 except it has a 4.5 in. Super amoled plus display and 1. 5ghz dual core. If you like to watch movies or videos on your phone then go for the skyrocket

I love my GS2. I think a Galaxy Note would be cool, but I can't imagine a phone with that big a screen. I'm liking the 4.3 vs the 3.5 on my previous iPhone 4

I am confused by this post.
According to you... Samsung's plastic phones are of higher quality then HTCs aluminum uni body phones?
Please explain how u came to this conclusion lol? Please stop spreading BS... average consumer is already ill informed as it is...
The vivid is plastic too, so HTC has no advantages there IRT build quality.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
HTC phones have a much sturdier build quality than any other phone manufacturer I know.
OK so a little confused by the galaxy note. Looks like it is released in the UK so I can't get it as I am on att network in the US so I am limited to phones that are available there.
I hate to say it but if i were buying now it would be a Samsung. I don't like plasticky phones, but i do like phones that have quality components, i.e Power buttons that don't die every few months of use, speakers that you can actually hear, or digitizers that don't start registering touches across the screen from where you actually touch it.
Have HTC released a phone yet with a camera that's on par with the ones found in other manufacturers devices, or one that doesn't run through an entire battery in under 4 hours of use? Do thay release devices with beautiful SAMOLED + screens?
which one would you prefer？pick up you prefer one
Made my choice, out of the 3 I went with the vivid. The build quality is there, fills solid in hand. The battery life is decent (1620 mah) and the screen is much sharper than the skyrocket's. Not everyone likes the oversaturated samoleds, and I didn't want to end up with a wvga screen (stretched to 4.5" looks really bad in my opinion) especially now, when all new highend devices of 2012 will have high resolution.

I was at the At&t store checking out the Galaxy S2, S2 Skyrocket, and the HTC Vivid. I can see why there are many who are fans of the Galaxy S2 phones. The Galaxy S2 is skinny, light in weight, vibrant screen, and has a large battery. However I ultimately believed the Vivid is a better phone for what I was looking for. I found GS2 phones feeling a bit cheap on the outer casing. The plastic felt too thin all the way around and didn't feel very solid. The color on the screen looks very very impressive but often feels unnatural and over saturated (like putting contrast on your TV all the way up). Particularly on the Skyrocket, the WVGA resolution feels very inadequate for screens 4.5 inches and above. You literally can see pixels as they look over stretched on 4.5 and qHD just do a much better job at that size. What really pushed me to the Vivid was that Sense just feel and functions much better to me than Samsung's TouchWiz to an otherwize an impressive hardware.
But either way, both phones will accomplish (pretty much) any task just the same
Edit: looks like you made your pick, good choice
I would leave AT&T! they get crappy android phones. I left AT&T for T-Mobile and got the HTC Sensation 4G and love it, and my bill is half the price of AT&T's now
The vivid does 1080p at 60fps. That's reason enough for some people to get it. I'm Considering dropping tmobile for AT&T just for that camcorder on that phone.

Guys, I read some comments on another site that US/Canadian would have a lower CPU to accommodate LTE? I didn't understand that, could someone clarify
I didn't use my upgrade on the SII so I'll be planning on picking this one up in the Pebble Blue. I just can't do white devices. Maybe it reminds me of my childhood with all the Beige/White systems.
Performance seems to be pretty good, a good setup from my Captivate so I am all for that.
So while I would have loved a A15 quad or even better GPU, well, we always want more so I think I will be happy with it. It does not seem as the Nvidia thing is catching up so I hope the whole Tegra exclusive crap is over otherwise, having a super GPU when the games are getting better features only for Tegra wont help me much.
Not sure why someone cannot be happy with the screen. Black is black and everything is punchy. I have a HD projector calibrated so I can be picky but I love Samsung screens.
Now the Q is..how long before stupid ATT brings it here.
USA releases are slotted for June. More info, as always, pending carrier announcements. Those will probably come when their world tour stops off in NYC, from what I'd guess.
man I am way behind
How can one hate that curved metal finish on the side. It's very sexy.
The whole camera-design thing: who actually looks at their camera lens on a daily basis? Its always behind the phone where you'll rarely ever see it. People these days...

Seriously when I read people cons...being about looks I feel the same way...come on now.
Definitely looking forward to upgrade.
There's been speculation that to accommodate LTE in the North American release, they might go with an S4 instead of the Exynos, which is also an excellent processor (though I would have liked to experience the Exynos).
Still, it's almost time to upgrade for me. It'll be nice to experience LTE.

I agree. Never had a phone that lasted this long without me wanting to upgrade..and the way new Roms and OCing kept extending its life its pretty awesome.
Was anxiously awaiting this thing since even though my cappy is beyond amazing, it's begun to feel its age a bit and I'm totally looking forward to a new phone.
I am totally not disappointed and can't wait to finally get my upgrade when it comes out.
The screen is awesome, and since I never got to see super amoled + I can't say I'm going to miss it. I just hope the GS3 is anywhere near as good to me as my cappy has been - although I'm going to miss the build of this phone cause it was awesome.
I love the specs...but I'm a tad disappointed by its aesthetics... I mean it looks like a cheaper quality phone with all that plastic...on the other hand HTC one x looks like sex
Same here didn't use my upgrade yet but will wait to see what the US versions specs are. Might be changing from AT&T to Sprint soon as wife contract is up.
I was really disappointed with the Galaxy S3. I will most likely be upgrading to the HTC One X. In almost every situation the One X beats or is a tie with the S3.
Screen: Most reviews say that the One X has a better screen then the Galaxy Nexus, so I believe that with the S3 having essentially the same screen as the nexus the One X's will be better.
Processor/SOC: The S3 will likely have an S4 in Canada so in that case it is a tie. If the S3 does have the quad core in Canada it will probably not be that noticeable of a difference.
Software: Both will likely have great Rom development, but in a worst case scenario, I can live with Sense 4.0, I cannot live with that hideous touchwiz.
Hardware: (IMO) The One X is gorgeous. The S3 is meh. Also, the S3 has a menu button, what were you thinking Samsung! I don't care about a removable battery or sd card slot.
Camera: I'm guessing it will be about the same (Don't care much about camera).
hi all,
my Nexus One is dying and now I'm crazy for buying a worthy successor.
I'm undecided between the One S and Galaxy Nexus ...
The thing that worries me most is the pentile screen, often criticized by many reviews. True, both have a pentile display, but the higher resolution on the nexus hide the pixel matrix.
So, I wanted to ask you an opinion about the screen, because I saw him quickly into the store, but it made not a great impression.
Which is a shame because the rest (hardware, ergonomics, power and battery life) looks very good ...
GNexus is a little bit older, but is equally beautiful (the shape and design are simply awesome for me) and it is much more supported by community, and also it cost me 100 euros less.
What would you do in my situation?
one last thing, I'd like the black version, have been solved the problems of paint stripping? I tried out the gray S and aluminum seems a bit too slippery ...
thanks and sorry for my bad english
Well, if you don't like the screen, then you should probably choose the nexus. I can't really say I notice it at all, but then I'm coming from a Hero. Overall I completely LOVE the phone! It's fast, has good battery life and sense is nice as well. Also it feels and looks nice, and the size is perfect; a big screen and it still fits perfectly into one hand. I've tried the X multiple times in store and it just is too big for me
I have the black version and I haven't had any issues yet, not my mom either (she has an identical phone, It's kind of awkward, but is it my fault she has good taste? ). I'm still waiting a bit longer before rooting ,though, jic I have to return it
Edit: my biggest concern is the limited storage, but It's okay. I had 8 gb on my hero and never filled it up

i see no problems with the display too. it look better than the amoled screen i had in the past (galaxy s1, nexus s)
i believe its safe to say the processor on the one s beats the galaxy nexus.
One S has a far superior CPU
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
I was actually in the same boat as you.
I had previously come from another carrier where I was using an EVO 3D and switched to a contract free plan with an Nexus One.
I found the Nexus One to be great but needed to upgrade.
I thought the Galaxy Nexus was a great phone. It's fast, sleek and, if buying unlocked, cheaper than the One S. The One S was just so cool when I got my hands on it. It's got a far better CPU than the Galaxy Nexus which really pushed me to it. Also, I find the form-factor of the One S to be perfect while at times I thought the Galaxy Nexus was a little bulky.
As for the screen on the One S. I was very hesitant to buy it because in the store I did notice the screen was not at the quality I was used to. Having previously used a true qHD LCD screen, it was easy to tell the PenTile display was not of the same caliber as far as resolution goes. BUT... It does still look great. The colors are fantastic! And, I thought the little niggles of the PenTile display would bother me day to day, but they have not.
Overall, the One S is a fast phone that looks amazing. I like pretty much everything about it (except that HTC is still witholding source code )
I eventually chose the cheapest option...
I got a great deal and for more than 100 euros less and other small details (see the screen resolution or the unconfortable power button on the One s), I took a Galaxy Nexus ....
Anyway, thanks to everyone for the advice
I am enjoying the S3 so far with no huge complaints. Today I pulled out my original Droid Incredible to wipe and hand it down. The S3 replaced this only 2 weeks ago and I immediately noticed how beautiful the Incredible screen was compared to the S3. Yes the size is no comparison but the clarity and brightness of the original Incredible is so much better.

good lord, you're kidding, right? aside from the fact that the inc lcd is so far away from the actual digitizer compared to the s3, the pentile display on the inc makes it so easy to see pixels without even looking. i had mine powered up yesterday too, and compared to my rezound and my s3, it's got NOTHING on them.
The original DInc has a AMOLED and is beautiful. From the signatures of the replies I see a lot of Samsung owners so I know this is going nowhere but AMOLED beats all others.
If I can be called trolling then I can reply with what fanboys....a little kidding
you do know that the S3 is SUPER Amoled, right? with a higher PPI, higher resolution, etc?
and you can look at my sig and notice i own the Eris, Inc, View Tablet, and Rezound.
I guess it is like going to Best Buy and looking at the wall of TV and one person says I like that picture and the person next to you says no I like that one.....
I think the brightness seems less on the GS3, especially outside. Still like the GS3 over the new Inc 4G which could have been my other choice. HTC made a really small screen on the Inc 4G compared to the current market.
Wow I've owned both currently gs3 and I have to disagree COMPLETELY . sorry BT that's my opinion. Gs3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>dinc IMO way way to the next evolution of it don't matter. Again just my opinion

You'd think those stores would tweek the settings a bit so they'd look their best, instead of all different.

The droid charge screen beats the sgs3 hands down
VERIZON GALAXY S 3
With all of the Android devices I've owned, the best I've seen for clarity is the Rezound, no question. I've purposely looked for imperfections in the pixel layout and it's damn hard to see, only thing is the screen just isn't as vivid. I agree, the Charge also had a beautiful screen, but the one I had was plagued by the infamous "yellowing" on the right side of the screen that many GS2 owners experienced, that and the low RAM forced me to return it. The brightest screen I've used was on the Bionic, that thing was blinding on an all-white screen turned up all the way.
The GS3 screen is a little of everything. It's bright enough for me, very clear for a Pentile screen, vivid and clear colors, no imperfections... love it. So far this phone has been great, especially the data/GPS signal. That was surprising.
the S3 screen looks 100x better than the nexus, but i remember hearing it's the same tech..is that true? cuz my nexus looks awful lol it had the yellow tint (before i color modd'ed it) and there's terrible banding throughout...there's none on my S3
Coming from a thunderbolt, the SG3 screen looks so much better

im coming from an inc to a rez to a GS3 and the gs3 screen is the best IMO
EDIT: I also have 2 galaxy nexi (yes 2 is nexi i think) and think the GS3 screen is much better
A friend of mine have the Samsung galaxy s3 and the HTC one X from att for sale, he ask me to sell the phones but he also told me that of I want, I could sell my htc one s and give him the Money gotten for my hos for one of his phones, I like that idea so I will sell my hos but I don't know which one to get; if the one X or the s3, both white, both at&t, both really awesome...
Can I hear your opinion please ?
Thanks

LOL? Ask in the HOX section.

You have them in your hand and are asking a bunch of anonymous Internet forum members? I'd say you have more problems than a phone choice.
Pretty much if you ask in the One X section, everyone will talk crap about the S3 and brag about how the One X is best greatest phone in all of history. And if you ask in the S3 version, everybody's going to say how the S3 is like a god...and so forth.
Just review the pros and cons of each and decide for youself. Also, why are you asking in the One S forums?

Because I have a one s phone, he told me if you want, you could sell your phone, give me the money that you get for your HTC one s,.and get the one X or the s3, that's why I ask if its convenient to sell my phone to get one of both?

The main reason people get the one x over the s3 is because you get sense instead of touchwiz. Battery life isn't good on the one x but that's on stock there are some awesome roms like leedroid for it that double battery life and get you to last the whole day. Another thing is that htc promised to officially upgrade the one x and one s to jellybean soon so you're guaranteed to get it instead of using cm10. Other than those things the phones are pretty much the same, the s3 has a slightly better performance but unless you're a huge gamer that doesn't really matter. Both cameras are great. The final thing that might make a difference for you is the motion gestures and smart features the gs3 is packed with them (smart stay, pan to zoom etc.) and most are really helpful but the one x has only some of these features. One last thing the HTC one x had some complaints for being too fragile screen wise so it might scratch easily or if dropped it could very we'll shatter so I suggest that you get a screen protector and is your friend willing to sell one of his phone to me after you pick one?

Actually the galaxy S3 seems to be more fragile than the one X/S, quite a lot of people who have dropped their GS 3's have had the screen crack, this is largely due to the glass going right to the edges much like the iphones, which is why their screen's shatter so easily when dropped. Plus the gorilla glass 2 on the GS 3 seems to be weaker than standard gorilla glass as I have never seen a phone get sooo many comments about the screen scratching easily and the people have said that they don't have a clue how it happened and that they have never had any scratches on their previous phones. Think samsung have told a white lie regarding GG 2, have made it thinner but at the cost of reducing the toughness.
one X:
- sense is far better overall IMO, only good thing about touchwiz are the features like smart alert, smart stay, smart status bar etc. however, you can get most of these on pretty much every other phone via apps
- camera UI is much better and you have way more features
- much nicer design IMO and the perceived quality is better
- battery life is better on the X (s4) than the GS 3 (s4)
- performance is also better on the X (S4) rather than the GS 3 (S4) (in benchmarks)
GS 3:
- removable battery
- SD slot
- build quality
- will be getting jellybean soon, the X will be as well before the end of the year but no date is given yet and it likely won't be for another month or 2 (this is for the international version, no idea if it is the same for AT&T)
- much better NLED
- 1080P recording in terms of smoothness and light metering
Screen is personal preference, the X screen seems to be regarded the best by a lot of users though and review sites, but it really does come down to personal preference; sharpness, more natural colours VS over saturated colours, true blacks.
Camera quality for photos is more or less the same, for some shots the X wins and for others the GS 3 wins.
In real world use, you aren't going to see much difference in terms of speed and smoothness, the GS 3 will appear smoother, but this is just down to the animations & timing that Samsung have used.
Comes down to what is important to you in the end.
EDIT:
Whoops, just seen AT&T, updating my post.......
I love my HTC one s it does have better build quality and feels better in the hand gs3 feels very cheap but has more of a value in the long run it also has NFC which is developing fast and will be very useful in the future

I know in terms of specifications s3 wins but I really would like to know what new features one X will have with the jelly bean update since HTC make a big step in every update. Also what in afraid of is that HTC is starting to launch so many phones as before and could be possible that stop putting the attention to the one X
- Which one of both has better battery life?
- would be a good idea if I choice the s3 with cm10?
- which one of both scratcha easily?
