HTC Desire Bravo ftw. Almost 2 years on this device and it still stands up to my expectations.

iPhone 4S

Google Nexus One. Thanks to Cyanogenmod the phone always stayed up to date software wise. Even CM10, though not officially supported, is being ported by some nice fellows to my great phone. I already consider upgrading, since the displays and the raw CPU power of newer multi-core phones (other people have) makes me jealous sometimes. But in smart phone timescale, my Nexus One had a long life and served me well.

Samsung Galaxy S3 :fingers-crossed:

It would be the HTC Sensation if there was Sense 2.1 running on it (I don't like Sense 3.0, only drains battery and causes lags because of too many 3D animations) and with the case design of the DHD.
So it still is the Desire HD
only Phone to beat Sammy S II would be S III or Nexus Prime.

HTC: Rumored Nexus 5 based on DLX: J Butterfly, DNA, Butterfly

GSM Arena is reporting this is being developed based on the DROID Incredible X (pictured below) & will be one of the five new Nexus (named for its 5 inch screen) devices coming this fall
The device is said to be running Android 4.1.2 — which includes bug fixes, Project Butter improvements, additional lock screen functionality and other tweaks — and is said to be equipped with a 5-inch 1080p full HD display and a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor. The company’s first phablet will also feature “a super slim design” and a large 2,500 mAh battery, 4G LTE connectivity, up to 64GB of internal storage and a 12-megapixel rear camera.
Based on this Verizon variant [DNA]: 1080p (1794 x 1080) quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 4G LTE, Sense 5 and HTC Scribe active pen support (to compete w/Note II) but will come w/only 16gb & no microSD card slot or removable battery
DLX: DROID Incredible X also being referred to as One X5

Only 16Gb and no SD on Verizon, boo. Otherwise this looks sick, would also prefer a bigger battery too, upwards of 3100 mAH
I would buy the Nexus 5 by HTC, it looks so sexy!
If its pricing is as good as the Nexus 7 then maybe
Looks pretty nice, honestly wondered how long it'd be before HTC released a Note competitor. Do admit I have a soft spot for HTC's design, let's hope it looses the Beats branding as a Nexus device though
I really doubt the phone in those photos will be a "Nexus". (it has soft buttons)
Still, it would be nice a Nexus with that resolutions

nothing about that phone is nexus from what I see. htc one x 5 does not have the nexus name in it. isn't that clock widget part of htc sense? and that app drawer button doesn't look right. this isn't a nexus. and besides, even if it is ... I will NEVER buy from verizon. isn't the galaxy nexus on Verizon still waiting for jelly bean? the Verizon galaxy nexus isn't a real nexus IMO. GSM unlocked phones all the way ...

Has there been a rumored launch time frame from anyone? Q4 2012? Q1 or Q2 2013? I was looking at getting a SGNII but then I saw the rumored specs on this bad mammajamma and it was the first device that made me second guess the Note II. I really like htc designs and would love this on Sprint with unlimited data! My full upgrade has been available since April and I have just been waiting on the "right" device.
I don't think this phone is gonna be the next htc nexus. I expect a htc nexus with soft keys.

Nokia N900 is also a power consumer. With kernel-power 51 it's acceptable until you don't play WebOS games. Now it survives a day with moderate use.
"Alcatel-OT993D and ZTE Nova V6500 are also one day without charger" phones.
The fault in this is if you look up the sales of the phone and compare it with the list it shows the phones on that list are there cause of there sales.

A friend o mine Galaxy S3 eats power like crazy, but hell yeah he uses messaging via facebook etc all day long so he is always looking for charger. A bit addicting..
S3 is just taking that much battery when its on stock based options..Turn off Movement(like intelligent reminder,call move) deactivate smart stay and you get way much more battery life
A HTC One X with Tripndroid's rom is flat in couple of hours.
I hope his mod will improve soon.
every HTC phone ever made.
S3 is a power consumer.... a friend of mine has a extra battery pack to save the day....
Personally, my one X lasts to the end of the day with at least 30% left. Running stock uprooted, and use ~30-60 mb of 4g on most days. Maybe its a Rom you were using...?

I can definitely agree with the HTC Desre HD - my girlfriend has one and the thing is always beeping and complaining about running out of juice. If she wants it to last more than 24hrs she basically can't use it.

I do too for my Galaxy Nexus, but there is some great kernels out there to help too, plus the recharge on it is pretty quick so that helps. I just wish charging in the car was faster.

How is the s4 a minor update? Its packing a octocore all you consumers is the same. If they came out with a 200mhz phone 1mb ram an sf 3.7inch screen just because it looks pretty you would say its the best phone in the world its just not about looks its about what it packs under the hood like Samsung good luck waiting a year to unlock your boot loader while us Samsung people is running the latest version of android LOL

I don't think you understand what HTC means to smartphones and Xda-developers. HTC was the company that started it all long before Apple came out with the I-phone. I am not sure how old you are but way back in the day around the 2004-2005 era. We used to have these things PDAs (personal digital assistant). Basically it was the first hand held computers. Well HTC came along and reinvented the phone world with something similar to these PDAs. What HTC did was take the idea of a PDA and build it into a phone. On top of that they thought it would be a good Idea to add a data connection to this new "smart" phone that way it had access to the internet. This evolutionary idea of crossing a phone line with a data line in one phone became known as the HTC XDA (x meaning the cross of data and a phone line). There is a reason HTC is highly regarded on xda and that's because HTC started this all. So lets get one thing straight, if it wasn't for HTC this website and smartphones in general wouldn't exist they way we know them now. Better show a little respect lol

[Discussion] What phone do you wish you had?

i have always wanted to tear into a Nexus One or a Nexus S i dont care about teh specs
what about you guys? what phone have you always wanted? old or new it doesn't matter.
I really wish I was repping that Nexus 5 (or 4 2013 apparently) or Note 3. Gotta save your pennies!
Definitly the Galaxy Note 3.
I don't want a phone under 5.5 inches and without pen anymore.
I would love to see the Note 3 with 6.3 inches (like the Mega) cause I really love this size for a display but this didn't happend at all.
So I've to wait for Note 4 or Note 5 or Note 6 (every year 0.2 inches more since the first Note)
I would like to have a Galaxy s4! But it costs too much for me, so I'm going to keep my s2

I would like a phone with great specs and a "small" screen:
Something like a Snapdragon 600 or 800 processor, or A9.
At least 1GB of RAM, the more the better.
At least 8GB, better 16GB of internal storage.
And a screen of 4.3", no more. I think a great resolution is 1280 x 720. I don't think a better resolution (1080p) worths it.
And a metallic cover (no more plastic, please).
In top of that, I'm short on cash, so I need a phone which isn't very expensive.
Impossible, I think.
Good
