hi all. i''m lookink to buy a good android phone and my options for now are the xperia arc s and the optimus 2x. which one do you recommend me? the 2x is more expensive but its dual-core. does it really make a diffrence? is a 1ghz dualcore much faster than a 1.4ghz single core? share your thoughts and experience about these phones. also you can recommend me another phone (i would buy the s2 but its a bit expensive). maybe optimus black?. i dont know if this is the right section. i'm waiting for answers.
best regards!

I love my o2x but man it's an old phone now...

Judging by your suggestions you're not going for the top of the range, top price phone.
I'd recommend the Experia Arc S. It's an all around good phone and you can easily "upgrade" to CM9 if you want a newer os.

Which phone should I choose?

Hey!
I would like to hear your opinions on this one. Should I get a ZTE Grand X or a Sony Ericcson Arc S?
Thanks in advance!

Arc S - ICS and lots of Roms or wait for TX which is similar to arc but upgraded

Based on specs the ZTE is better in every way except camera resolution. If I were you, I would go with the ZTE hands down.

[Q] Thinking of buying the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2

Hello,
My HTC HD2 is letting me down at a lot of points. Therefore I'm thinking of buying a new handset.
I do a lot of internetting and multitasking on my phone. Therefore a dual-core processor is a must for me.
I've read up reviews of the handset and it seems to perform quite well.
What do you guys think, should I go for it or shouldn't I?
Also, if I don't like TouchWiz, is there a possibility to installing MIUI on it? I have that on my HTC HD2 right now and I love it.
Thanks!

Hey,
This should be in teh Samsung Galaxy Ace forum. That way, you will get advice from previous owners.
Alternatively, you could put it in the Device suggestions list written by KC.
You could PM a mod and he will help you with moving it.
Just some advice to get you going.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
Sorry for my late reply.
Got a HTC One S instead as you can see below, love it!
This topic can be solved/closed if it were me

Go for samsung galaxy S advance or LG optimus E7.

Thanks, though as I stated I already purchased the HTC One S.

Need your opinion based off experience

Situation is as follows -- Broke my gnex yesterday, called asurion, they were out of 32g gnex so they are sending me a white verizon 32gb s3. Cool. I start medical school in a few days and won't have time to play with tons of roms, but I can't stand samsungs skin.
In your experience, what is the best "one and done" ROM? I've been running cyanogen on my gnex should I just do same or what?
Thanks for helping me as I don't have time to research properly myself

Wrong forum first off. Verizon S3 and in the wrong section (Question in general section). Don't use ROMs from this section. There is no best.

Maybe a mod can move it for me. My apologies.

only you can decide whats best for you.
if you want a one and done without the samsung look but with the stability, function and stock options check beans rom. its got a great AOSP theme that will be famliar to you.
any of the AOSP roms are pretty stable also. id recommend slimbean personally.
but again, everyone is different. so read, and try some out.

Sorry, no moving, but thread is closed as the above post says it all.
No best rom as that is very subjective.

[Completed] Best budget-friendly androids for customization?

Looking for a new android for my boyfriend to replace his current awful phone, and finances are a bit tight right now. We're hoping to find a device under $170, it needs to have SD support to hold all his music and photos, GSM unlocked for Cricket Wireless, and we'd like to find one that has flexibility on custom ROMs. He really likes the one I have, the Huawei Ascend Mate 2, which has CM and PAC, and around the $200 range, but we're wondering if the people of XDA have other devices to recommend. Like me, he also prefers large-ish screens... no tiny phones. It'd also be great to have one that is eligible for Lollipop. Perhaps I am asking too much.
