So here we go, another Samsung/T-Mobile fail. Why do they always do this. They always bring out the same headset with just some minor changes.
Why not get the Galaxy Nexus already?
If T-Mobile didn't have such good customer service and cheap plans I would of cancelled a long time ago. We always seem to get the short end of the stick.
Guess what's gonna happen when this is released. Even less development, that's what. Grrrr.

Lol. Havent you guys ever noticed art and tmobile always get similar counterparts as far as phones go. Don't know why people complain and say they get more. We got amaze and they got rezound. They get this new HD and we get blaze. They have similar bbs and other phones. Just throwing out my perspective. Oh and stop *****ing and just don't buy it. Don't people keep phones for more than a year now.

The most puzzling thing is that it has the same specs as the T-Mobile Galaxy SII, but is branded as a Galaxy S device.
I'm sorry but as valid as these responses get thus is ridiculous. Just return the phone and wait if it bothers you so much. This phone prob won't be out for another six months. By then when you buy it some "better" phone will be announced. What are you hoping to buy that is future proof?

Yeah, this one should come with ICS since there is no Nexus yet, but of course it won't.
Like previous post it has the same specs, but this one will probably have an HD screen on it. #lame
I doubt this will be out in six months, I'm guessing Feb/March.

It seems to me like this is a dumbed down version of the GSII. First of all they are calling it a "Galaxy S" instead of Galaxy S II, and the screen is called "Super Amoled", but not Super Amoled Plus or HD.

Samsung probably figured out how to fix our screen issues with the lines and blotches and decided that instead of admitting fault and having to fix all the sold phones with the issue they could just release a new model with no issues and a better res to make money instead of losing it... guess ill probably wait for the galaxy s3 hd blaze... n this whole galaxy fiasco is starting to remind me of the iphone adding a letter or number to the end without really even upgrading anything in the phone

I can sum it up for you in one sentence.
The Samsung Galaxy S 3 is not locked down, and the HTC One X is.
I know two people who switched and didn't have one that was locked down. One is a developer and one did some theming.

what about if its cool ,popular and a better phone?.... millions own it already not a hard thing to find out why its such a success.
many of the people at my work place own one.. and none of them even know whats xda.. so is being unlocked still the key to that success?
If you don't have one then you don't know what your missing. S3 is just good in every department!! Say no more cuzzy!!

I have an S3 on my account, I got it for a buddy of mine. I've spent a good deal of time playing with it and can't see the appeal at all. It just isn't anywhere near as nice as the HOX. 2GB of RAM, that's it. Everything else about it sucks compared to the HOX. My 1GB is working just fine for me.

Bingo u hit the nail on the head. People complain about the lack of removable battery. Ummmmmmm maybe 10% of pple would actually carry a spare. IPhone doesn't remove battery and I'm sure we're all aware of how well that does. And as far as storage goes, yea it wouldn't hurt to atleast have 32gb. But I havent filled 16. So consider me happy.

Then you should ask them. And couple people isn't everyone.
The main reason is: most users if they don't buy the iPhone they'll go for sammy because of the brand. You don't know much about a smartphone but you at least know they make good tv's, computers, refrigerators, you name it. Where else do you see the HTC logo? Many people didn't hear about it. So, obviously pick the Samsung instead.

What is the big deal about which smartphone you use? I would bet that most people on XDA are pretty well clued up about phone tech and so, money permitting, they will make an informed purchase, buying the phone that suits them best.
I own the SGS3 and yeah, I think it is top notch handset, but that doesn't mean I diss other handsets. I like to think I'm more evolved than that (though some of my pals would dispute that :laugh. If someone comes to me for smartphone buying advice, I will try my best to give an informed opinion based on my experience and their tech knowledge and needs...and quite often I'd send them down the iPhone route, not because I think it is a better phone (though Apple, whether you like it or not, make fantastic hardware, just a shame about the company ethos), but because it is probably the best phone for them.
Most on this particular thread will probably own an HTC...again good top noth handsets, but I personally avoid them due to a very bad customer service experience a couple of years ago (threads can be found elsewhere), but that doesn't stop me recommending them to others (though I do also relate my experiences). And many others on XDA will own a whole variety of other smartphones.
The point is, does it matter which phone you own? Yes, some people will spend a fortune on a top end handset just for bragging rights, but there's nothing worse than a 'phone snob'. Most of us on XDA buy what is best for us and are generally happy and if we're not, we switch.
You pays your (hard earned) cash and makes your (well informed) choice. Enjoy what you have, worry not what other think about it and be proud that you are part of XDA and have the knowledge to tinker with and give advice about your techie toys. Just don't get caught up in a 'mine's better than yours' debate.
Happy tinkering folks!
My office has recently taken a stance of "our apps are built for iOS first" so being on Android I have to wait 6-12 months to get what others already have.
I decided to bite the bullet and put a local ad up to trade my rooted One X with 2 cases (perfect condition) for an iPhone 4s. A few days have gone by and I have not had a single response. Where I live it usually takes less than a day to get a deal done.
I though originally I was giving something up, so getting this phone for a 4s would be a bonus to whomever responded. Am I crazy? Set me straight here...

I'm of the opinion that people won't consider that an even trade. I personally traded my iPhone 4 for the HOX I have now, and it was worth more as well. Apple products just seem to have a higher value.

True, iPhones tend to hold their resale value better. Just a quick browse through eBay, it looks like 4S is going for (ballpark) $300, and the One X is going for around $200. So many people will probably not see it as an even trade.
Plus, the cycle for Android phones is really around 6 months, where iPhones are upgraded yearly (another part of the reason for the difference in resale value). One X has already been superceded by the X+ in many respects, with the M7 not far from launch either. So even if someone is looking at switching to Android, they might see the One X as being almost 2 gens behind, versus the iPhone 4S, which is one gen behind, and likely won't be 2 gens behind until Oct/Nov.
Of course, value is subjective, and you might still get someone to trade. But odds are probably not in your favor. I'd think about posting it as a straight out sale, seeing what you can get for it, and use the money to buy what you want.
I traded a 4s for my HOX. That was 2 months ago when the prices were very close on eBay. I have owned and still own both iOS and Android, iOS holds their value.
That being said...HOX is one of the best Androids offered by AT&T. Even though used iPhones sell for more, it is still a fair trade. You will get a bite, it just may take a little time. All you need is someone tired of iOS.

with all due respect as i browse the s4 forums i see this phone will be super popular with our friends overseas. i guess the question i have is what US developers and US xda members will be buying this phone? im just concerned on how decent development will be for the US based variants?
Us development is going to be good. The us SGs3 Roms were interchangeable with just small things fixed like modems, etc.
It'll most likely be the same with the sgs4 but even better as tons of countries in Europe will have the Us version as well.

well considering i just bought a spiegen case and lcd protector weeks ahead of the preorder you can tell im getting one. i guess worse comes to worse and development lacks i could always sell it and get the htc one.
Okay, now how is development going to be better than on the HTC one lol. More people will have a sgs4. Its like 5 to 1 in sales I think. Pre orders are 4 times more than the sgs3 in certain parts of the UK from reports.

There's a lot of development because it came out.
What I'm saying that the SGS4 will have a equal amount of development but most likely greater since for every HTC One there will be 3 or 4 SGS4s.
I live in the U.S. and my upgrade comes available on the same day AT&T starts taking pre orders. Coincidence? I think not...

Same here. I decided to add my parents onto my line and use their upgrades. Now I get a upgrade every single year. They don't like smartphones and prefer simple flip phones.
Haha. Seems it was officially released but yet you can't buy it yet? Can only get one from an invite.

Original Quote by OnePlus Admin Carl : 2014 Q2 Production Update Today at 9:01 PM:
When we started OnePlus, one of the first things we announced was that our product would be available internationally in Q2 2014. We're well on track of achieving that.
However, after our product announcement, we realized that far more people wanted the One than what we originally anticipated. Over the past few days, we have been frantically adjusting our production schedule to make sure that as many people possible can buy the One, as soon as possible.
In our updated plan, we prioritized for two aspects; time to market and availability of the high capacity model (in that order). We now know that people want the 64GB Sandstone Black far more than the 16GB Silk White, but we also know that more than everything, people just want to get their hands on the device as soon as possible.
What we've done is dramatically increase the amount of 64GB Sandstone Black models in our production plans, while producing 16GB Silk White as long as they don't delay the time to market for Sandstone Black.
Our production schedule is as follows:
Ready now - 100 for phone smashers
Mid to late May - Larger batch 16GB Silk White for the first batch of invites
Early June - Larger batch 64GB Sandstone Black
Later in June - Increased general availability, people who want it should be able to get an invite without much trouble in June

Yeah but LG G3 and S5 prime is going to cost 600$/euro at least(like every other their flagship). Which is 2 times more than Oneplus One. I think Nexus 6 will be released later after August but who knows...

To my understanding no retailer will ever sell the one plus one. You need to buy it directly from them. Though that's at least a couple months away.
