There is a thread for this type of questions, but anyways, there is the LG Nexus 4, the HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S3. I think there's not really a device better than this bad boys.

[Resolved] Which phone should I get? Note, Nexus, One X?

[Thread Resolved]
In the end, I went with the Nexus as it has much better software, development and update speed...
Sorry about making another thread on this.
But, I'm looking for a 24 month contract under £15 a month with little upfront fee, up to £100. I was on Pay as You Go before. I just wanted to know what is the best at that price? At the moment, I'm looking at the HTC One X, Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note. Which one would you recommend? Or should I get something else? The phone needs to last for 2 years. Thanks for the help.

Any suggestions? At the moment I'm between the Nexus and Note. Which has better development?
Go with Galaxy Nexus. Fast as hell with new Jelly Bean and also it's a really developer/hacker friendly phone

That's what I was thinking. But what about the Note?

I don't think note will get jelly bean or next version of android. Also I find Nexus to have more developer support. Also Gnex has pure Android which looks beautiful

The real question is getting the latest update important to you. If it is go with a nexus, if not go with the phone that suites your needs now. Just don't expect your phone to be updated to the latest software when going with a skinned phone.

If development and long term support is your biggest option.
100% no doubt, go with the Nexus.
The Note is a close second because it has decent development but updates are a bit slower.
I'd leave the Sensation in the dust.

I would have to say "not the Sensation XL". I had a Sensation and it's a heavy pocket mirror. And there aren't too many roms available for them. In the end I'll have to recommend buying a phone because you like the design, not because of the specs. You're not going to enjoy a phone that has a slightly faster CPU if you don't like how it looks.
I've pretty much eliminated the Sensation.
But which CPU and GPU is better? The one in the Note or the Nexus? I would prefer better development but it's not a big issue. I wouldn't be installing ROMs until the phone gets old. Hardware-wise which is the better phone? And will both last the next two years? I know the Nexus will, but will the Note? Thanks for all the help.

Specs are better in note for sure. But even though note has better spec, I find Nexus to be smoother with the jelly bean update.

I also second the suggestion to get a Nexus. It gives you the best Android Experience (fast updates from Google, huge developer community) .
The HTC HD2 is still very expensive because it is very popular among developers I guess this might be the case with the Nexus too. So if you want to sell it in the future it won't be completely worthless by that time. Just my thoughts.
If you want an Android phone go directly with Galaxy Nexus, but if you have much money you can buy an iPhone 4s
I think galaxy nexus or galaxy S3
I was going for the Nexus but then I saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510755. What do you guys think about this?

No.
Get the Galaxy Nexus.
Any other suggestion? Or is the Nexus the most recommended?

Can't find a SG3 in the budget I have. Otherwise, it looks like a good phone.

iphone 5 vs. galaxy s3 vs. note 2

so between these 3 phones, which is the best one to buy? Is the iphone5 even worth it considering it isn't android?
Personally I would pick the s3 considering the processor is decent and the note 2 is just too big for most people and the iPhone can't be rooted can't install roms or do anything interesting at all.

What about HTC G2 Titanium?
New Phone...
Well I just bought the Nokia 920 and it's amazing... much better than the Iphone but not the nexus 4 so I suggest the nexus
N 4
definitely nexus 4. the nexus phones are always pure android, no manufacturer skins or bloatware or other bull****

Who here only buys Nexus phones?

The nexus 4 is my first nexus phone and won't be the last. And to be honest I don't think I'll buy anything else but nexus phones from here on. All these other android phones are terrible with bloat and ugly ui skins.

Hey buddy I think you will get better response to the thread when it will be in the Off-topic section.
Please ask a mod to do so.
Thanks

I've had the Galaxy Nexus and the N4 and will never get a non Nexus again
Nexus⁴
Me and my wife both own the Galaxy Nexus, and my son has a Nexus 7. Nothing but Nexus in my house. Always first for OTA's and pure, unadulterated ANDROID...
Galaxy Nexus rockin' AOKP MR1 Build 3 w/ Franco 364.....
Hello,
I only buy Nexus phone, first the Nexus One (live long and prosper), and now the Galaxy Nexus.
Usually they have the best support, good hardware and good price.
the 3 things I consider the most important.
Nexus 7 and 10 here.. Waiting for my Samsung phone to die so I can get a Nexus phone.
Strongly considered the 4, but the non-removable battery and lack of microSD support killed any chance of me owning one.
I got my s3... but really want a nexus now.. I just wish they had expandable memory. Sure a removable battery would be nice, but the memory is the bigger need of the two.. I think Google does that so you use their cloud services.

Sprint Galaxy S3
Whiplashh Rom
Look it up. :trooper:
Currently still in my nexus s and ill change to the n4 in july!
Ill never get a non-nexus! ;D
I have an s3 right now...but in the future I will only buy nexus phones, because of good developer support and AOSP.

I do love the look of the Nexus phones, but no micro-sd means I won't buy one, it just tells the manufacturers they can get away with hampering us, so unless Google ever puts expandable storage on, I'll never buy a Nexus device. Flashing another phone to something aosp based is really easy, so Nexus goodness without the drawback
I use a Tab 2 7.0 as a giant phone thats also a tablet aka phablet
I sure hope by the time this thing breaks, Nexus 7 will have proper phablet support, or, there will be a 5" nexus phone.
Have a Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7 : Completely Filled ! <3
I think as you all! Better Android stok that have all those changes that slow down devices
My n4 is my first nexus, but I probably won't be getting the next nexus if the continue to skip important features for me like lte, microsd and a larger battery. I actually haven't been so dissatisfied with a phone before.

What phone is best for me?

I just recently went from a Verizon Galaxy Nexus to the HTC One. I find myself missing my Galaxy Nexus, maybe it's the plastic feel in my hand which I've grown so used to or the available development. I like the HTC One but I don't feel like it's a phone that I'm gonna be happy with a few months from now.
I just want some input on what people would think is best for me. I'm doubtful that the Nexus 5 will make its way to Verizon or that would be my first choice.

I realize there is a discussion thread going but I would rather not sort through 600 pages of responses, I haven't checked out the Moto X development forum but I definitely like the similarities to the gnex in design

Please use the discussion thread even if you don't feel like reading/searching. They are there to keep hundreds of new threads like this one from flooding the forums
