Searching for a high-end dual-core Android phone - General Topics

Hi there!
I'm in the hunt to replace my HTC Sensation this coming Christmas/New Year sales with a new Android 4/4.1 phone.
My budget is £300-ish and what i'm looking for is the phone must be dual-core, a 1.0Ghz CPU (at least), 1GB RAM (at least), current-gen GPU, a BSI camera (with all the image stabilisation/low-light/1080p stereo recording, burst-mode, etc.features), a very good sound quality (with Dolby, some sort of surround sound and customisable equalizers) and one that has a replaceable battery and/or good battery life.
Any suggestions guys?

Could you please use the stickied thread in the Q&A forum for these type of questions please.

Suggestion needed for buying an android phone!

Hello guys,
I need a suggestion for a good android phone for about 350$ (20k RS.).
Its for a friend of mine, brand name doesnt matter, it basically should meet these :
1) Should have good development in xda, (atleast cm7, cm9/10 would be a added+)
2) Screen size should be as big as possible
3) Processor and RAM is not a big problem since he doesnt multi task much, also less internal memory is not an issue (Processor can be over clocked if there is cm9/10 I guess and battery life is not an issue too)
4) Camera sensor and quality should be good(the more MP the better )
I would appreciate if some suggestions would be given, Im basically looking at xperia series, Xperia Neo L and Sola looks good but want to know more suggestions before finalising.
Thanks for your time
Regards!
As this is a question it should be posted in Q&A but please use the dedicated thread for your request - **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!. Cheers.

[Completed] Need help deciding xperia v or Alcatel One Touch Idol X

Hey guys
this is my first time posting here on xda but i have been a fan for a while and you guys really rock.
so iam about to buy a new smart phone and i have a limited budget , i did some research and ended up having a choice between the sony xperia v and the Alcatel One Touch Idol X and they are both pretty cool phones and are in the same price range and their specs are great and pretty close.
i have been a fan of the sony xperia line for a while now and my heart really sways towards the V but the idol x has almost the same specs and is better in some cases and has a bigger 5.0 inch screen compared to that of the V's 4.3 inch screen , sure water resistance is a cool feature but i dont want to make the wrong choice here especially because the idol x has a quad core processor while the V has a dual core one.
so if you guys can help me choose and also tell me if the quad vs dual thing will affect gaming so much? , and also if the quality of the phones them selves (you know fabrics , cameras , screens , battery and such) will make a difference in future use. that would be great.
thanx in advanced.

4GB RAM
Best screen available 5,3"
2,3 Ghz Octa Core best available
38 MP camera

Medium size screen (we don't know the sizes, only small, medium, large [phablet])
Best processor available, probably a tegra
3gb RAM
Largest battery available
10mp camera, don't really care much about photos
That's about it. I'll probably get some custom modules when people start making them

OnePlus X - will I be satisfied?

So few days ago I ordered OnePlus X and can`t wait for it, but as far as I go I`m getting worried that the specs is too low for 2016 smart phone. I`m planing to use it at least 1.5 year and I want it to work as fast as any high-end smartphone. So I`m asking you guys if that Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 801 processor with 2.3 GHz Quad-core CPUs; Qualcomm® AdrenoTM 330 will satisfy me after a year or so? I`m planning to use a stock android rom with a custom optimization, for the most time I will be using this device for web browsing, messaging and few basic games/apps (For example: Crossy road, Youtube, Spotify) the most important thing for me that everything would be working as fast as possible. What do you think? Is this device is the right choice for me?
You could read some review threads in the device sections general area here,

And decide for yourself. But if you must ask others , then here's a dedicated thread for such questions,

Which phone best replaces/improves on the Note 4?

My note 4 has reached it's end of life for a multitude of reasons, mostly due to being dropped too much. I've very much enjoyed it for the last 2 years.
While I do not wish for this to be another "what's better thread" I know some of you are much better versed with the current smartphones with the best internal components for the money. So far I've come across the pixel XL, HTC 10, and the Mate 9.
Budget isn't a concern, nor is carrier as I'm sure what I'm looking for has multiple radios. I just want to know what to buy and flash so I'm not wasting time reading reviews and looking through development forums.
tl;dr I want another 5.5-6 inch screen phone with the same 4k screen and camera capabilities, as well as the best processor and ram in its class. Aftermarket ROM development is also an important factor. Pixel XL is looking the best so far.
much appreciated
