Upgrade - General Questions and Answers

Hi everybody, it has been 24 beautiful months with my HTC evo 4g and I have upgrade opportunity (sprint) I have flashed around 30 ROMs and I'm still in love with this phone, any ideas of what sprint phone will make a very good upgrade I just don't want to upgrade to a phone that is going to disappoint me since my evo hasn't.
A lot of people tells me that I should wait for the iphone 5, I'm not really sure, thnx in advance

EVO 4G LTE or Galaxy Nexus or Sprint Galaxy S3
Those are the top phones on Sprint right now,

IMO, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is the most beautiful and exciting phone I've ever held. Until I played with that for a few minutes, I was positive my next phone would be an iPhone. My DROID Charge is about a year older than the S3 and I couldn't help but think of what a difference a year makes. That difference was enough to convince me that the Android is much more fun to own. My phone is a hobby, always a progress in motion. For better or worse.

Thnx for ur comments, how's the galaxy s3 battery life, is it a built in battery?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

It's not built in and the S3 has GREAT battery life, people are reporting 20+ hours with moderate use.

Is it worth it?

Is it worth trading my galaxy s 4g for a nexus s?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
It's a pretty even bet too me, but i don't pay attention to phone prices and other content, but I've always wanted a nexus phone, lol. They seem so pure and have alot of development for them. But I'll say what i say to every other person with a question relating to yours, it's up to you.
Sorry if i didn't help and just wasted your time.

I moved to a Nexus S a little over a month ago from the Galaxy S 4G and to me it was a great move. ROM development is definitely a good plus. I found it to be snappier than the Galaxy S 4G.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
I think the only downside is the loss of 4g data speed. Other than that the nexus s is a better bet. Plus it is getting ics. I would go for it. If you don't like it I am sure you will find someone willing to trade again for it.

Galaxy note to T-Mobile......

The only thing better than our phone is the screen.... a lot of ppl say its really laggy the att version at least. We will see

Note is nice but I personally think its too big. I see it more of a business phone, not personal at all.
Yea it is big but my boss has the att one and its really nice and we all know T-Mobile is faster so who knows might have different specs just thought it was cool that we might be getting one

I had the note briefly and LOVED it, returned it cause there wasnt a stable modem/radio for us Tmo users...if this is true, im 100% back!!
Yay?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
I still haven't had time to play with a Note yet, but its intriguing to say the least. It definitely looks a bit too large to use as an everyday phone but I'll give it a shot at least
You probably will be happier with the s3, it will be the next Gen phone.
Get the note if you need a tablet phone or high Res screen for more icons on the app drawer or something. I'm gonna wait for the s3 just because of the flagship and the proper balance of features and size and weight
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
If it comes to Tmo hopefully its the same but with an s4 processor
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
I'm really really really hope it's the Note! But, my next upgraded phone will be a toss up from the sgs3 or the note!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
My uncle has the international version so I've had the opportunity to work on this device here and there. Using it daily really doesn't wind up feeling a ton bigger than the t989, only problems I've experienced are certain apps can't figure out if it's a tablet or a phone, so there's a fair amount of compatibility issues, but it's very slick.
But, and a big but, that phone is a Gen behind the s3

Need suggestion!!

Want to buy new android phone.
Which one should I go for?
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda app-developers app
I would go for an HTC One X or S or a Motorola Razr HD Maxx.
The first two because of their stunning looks and screens and performance, and the Razr has the best battery life out of all phones.
Also, if you can wait to get the Nexus 4, it seems like a great bargain choice.
Cheers.
Go for galaxy s3 or note 2

And if u dont **** it up u gonna get an awesome battery life....

You should take that atrix back and wait for the HTC One or the Gs4. Seriously though.

You guys fail to be within his $200 budget for a used phone.
I suggest an AT&T Samsung galaxy s2 or a samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket. You should be able to get one on that budget. I got my skyrocket for $170 on new condition few months ago.

I bet you can find an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus for around 200$
Everywhere I looked for unlocked galaxy nexus was from 300 to 450

And the skyrocket you musta been lucky cuz the cheapest I found was 250 and the s2 I don't like cuz of the processor the atrix hd is the idea of what I want so I'm guessing I'm going with it cuz the phones yall listed are not in my budget thx though

You need to check swappa
They've got a couple on there now around 200$
If you're due for an upgrade, the Galaxy Note II refurbed was available for $199.99 very recently.
ATT galaxy note 1 used around 200 on CL
★♡★ AT&T Galaxy Note II ☆♥☆
I still just have the original Note and over a year later I'm still pretty happy. I do occasionally start jonesing for the note 2, but not sure about the life of a refurb, I think it only saves about about $50, but with the S4 out I expect a new note 2 to drop in price soon. BTW, I haven't touched my laptop in a couple of months, I live out where the bear does his business and this is the way I get internet. No cable or DSL is within 20 miles of me... I had satellite but its more expensive and slower.

I'm with metropcs right now I can't afford a contract I'm switching to straight talk that's why I need a at&t phone I would get a tmobile cuz of faster data speed but not many tmobile towers here
Sent from my SCH-R920 using xda app-developers app
Have you considered looking into something from Pantech? The Pantech Burst, used, would save you about $100 from your $200 budget and is a very nice phone for the money. It also has a mostly-working CM10.
You could also look into newer phones like the Pantech Discover, In general, it's a good brand for the value-conscious.
Ok I decided to go with tmobile instead I'm thinking about getting the galaxy s blaze if I buy the $50 unlimited talk text 100 mb 4g speed and I run up the 4g will I have the hspa+ speed?

G2, not much of an upgrade. I just really liked my s4 and figured I'd come back to samsung. Really wish I had a reason to root this thing though.

Just ordered S5 today. Coming from S4, before that the S3.
Im coming from my nexus s 4g. My family bought it since it was only $30 at the time. It was a great first phone and had that pure android experience. I ended up despising it for its awful specs. At the end of our contract I knew inwas gonna get a fast phone. I wanted amasung again, so I was tied between the note 3 and gs5. I ended going with the gs5 since it was cheaper and newer.
