nexus s sized phone upgrade? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

any chance that samsung and motorola will make good phones that arent 4.7"+ phones?
I would get the motorola droid m if I werent on sprint... btw.
I thought about getting an S3 but its size just is too much. my real question is- android just going bigger and bigger phones and will I be forced to upgrade to an iphone 5?

S3 is available in mini size now in the UK

No custom roms/kernels/themes/flashable zips? Boring.
There are no back/menu button on the sides of the home button so navigation is not as easy as android.
But it FEELS a lot faster than any other phone i tried though. Animations are perfectly executed.

Only 4" upgrade worth looking at would be the S3 mini, IMO. However, the HTC One S is fairly close, 4.3". A friend has one and I could deal with it, and I REALLY hate large phones. It can be a bit tricky to root though.

Locked bootloader

Itll get rooted, but bootloader is locked. With the recent breakthroughs on the Droid X with second init and getting CM7 working, count on aosp working at some point on the Photon also. Motorola may even unlock a few months down the road since they promised no more locked bootloaders.
Like the look and nice specs but I only buy Nexus devices. To buy any other android phone other than a Nexus would be stupid.
I think it is nice, but, I genuinely love my NS4G and I haven't even rooted and started flashing yet.

Yea dont blame you. I personally like Motorola and think itll be the best all around option sprint will see this year. Best battery and radio, guaranteed.

How would that be stupid? Other manufactures add functionality that should be included in stock android already but isn't. Unless you're stuck on the "ill get updates first wagon".

That's a matter of opinion and on the development device you have the source to add to if you wish : D not hating on you but most run to the nexus line to escape what the carrier added.

I had a flashback when I seen it I couldn't place it but I got it, the motorola i1 presumably one of the worst phones produced with android. It featured iden push to talk and that was the only selling point, shipped with 1.5 android when froyo was out, the list goes on. the design is a perfect match as far as the shape. Visit this link

[Q] Galaxy II vs. HTC One S

I haven't seen a lot of direct comparison between the two phones. Can someone who has used both of them give their input?
Barring that, can anyone give me a give to stick with Samsung? I have liked my SG I but I am able to upgrade now and want either the II or the HTC. The HTC is VERY, VERY tempting, but I worry that since it is new there may be issues. I am also worried about the fact that the battery is not removable. What do you do if (and when) the phone freezes?
So thoughts.... HTC or Galaxy S II?
There's a button con fig to reset.don't worry lol..

If you're on T-Mobile get the One S. I had the international Galaxy SII two days ago and now I have the One S. I love the One S so far and have found nothing wrong with it. The screen, though similar, looks much better on the One S. It feels faster as well, even if through benchmarks it might not be.
I was on Tmo-sgs2 before One S and you can't even compare the two. One S better screen. Better processor. Better build quality. So satisfied I think I'm going to go rub it on my naughty spots....sorry TMI.

Just came from a GSII and holding a One S versus holding the plasticky cheap-feeling Samsung is like night and day IMHO.
But if you have a huge library of music and don't feel comfortable with a built-in battery, the GSII is still a decent choice.

I sold my s2 and waiting for something to buy now. I disliked the plastic from the s2 and the touchwizz interface. But maybe the s3 is gonna be better on those 2 points.
I would like to get the one s, but how is the pentile screen when compared to the s2 rgb? Is there difference in sharpness?

There is Sense though. Speedwise the sgs2 is nice but I miss sense
Lol...when the first no sense rom came out..I waved bye bye to sense...I liked the previous sense version.sense 4 I don't gel with. Touchwiz is crap mate...if I had the s2...cyanogenmod would be rocking her straight away. The more incarnations of android...the less I think sense or touchwiz will be needed.
As I said though...love sense just not 4.

I jumped from the SGS2 to the One S and the difference is night and day. But consideration has to be made that I was also on a SGS before the 2 and the TW made it feel like I just went to a bigger version of the SGS. Or more bloated version. So I think the jump to better made phone and to Sense was easier. The speed and fluidity of the One S is also so much faster. The ability to use the phone one handed is nice too. Resolution is nicer and screen seems a lot brighter...even putting them on the same brightness and doing a side by side comparison. Battery is also great on the One S. I'm not drinking the Koolaid or anything but really I am impressed with this device. IMHO One S wins hands down. But like I said my opinion.

I wouldn't make any decisions until Thursday has passed tbh.. See what Samsung's next phone is saying. If it is just a quad core variant of the Nexus & SGSII with a new shell then the One S has got to be the winner.

Wich phone would you pick?

So I though of upgrading my nexus one. The possible candidats are a htc one s or a motorola razr maxx. If you had to choose wich one would you take? I don't like that big screens, so 4.3 inches seems to be a sweat spot for me. Could you recomend me other phones?
Thx
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
Razr Maxx has the best battery life out of all smartphones in the market so if you are looking for a phone that has great battery life, the razr maxx is the phone to get. Other good phones are the GNexus and the SGS3 which have full support of Ics and JB.
The best hardware right now is the galaxy s iii. The best software support is on the galaxy nexus.
I wouldn't get something as locked down as the Motorola unless you're okay with only ever getting one android update, and getting it super late. And I think the gsiii does everything the HTC does and then some.
My choice is (and probably always will be) the nexus because I have more control over it than any other device, but the gsiii is a good choice now as well.

At that screen size I'd take the Galaxy s2 or Sony Xperia S or One S in that order
The maxx is good but lack of support kills it. Battery life is the only reason to get it.

Did all four of you guys seriously just ignore the fact that he wants a phone with a 4.3 inch screen? Those would be too big for him.

There's too many of these threads all over the place on here now.
None of us can give you a definite answer of what phone to get because ultimately, it's your choice and none of us can change that. And if a you're after is suggestions, why not just think of a few yourself and float round the specific sections for those phones so you can read peoples responses to the phone.
I'll end up making a dedicated thread for this kinda thing if I see too many more of these

It starts getting difficult at 5+ and becomes a matter of taste there. Otherwise 4.8 has proven manageable with phones like sensation and galaxy s3.
Consider that the maxx is not HD and is aged technology, even at launch there were complaints on moto holding out,if you also don't mind this carry on.
Consider you can always get an extended battery for something like the s3 or optimus 4x without a great increase in bulk as they're thin.

Well, you say that the SGS3 will soon be outdated but in all honesty do you really care about the newer hardware? The only real changes which will be made soon are 1080p screens and better processors. You will never see the difference between 1080p and 720p screens unless you're specifically comparing them side by side to see purely the sharpness of the screen, and I have yet to find an app that I regularly use that even the SGS2 can't handle with ease, so I doubt you'll find one for the SGS3. It takes heavy games in its stride too, since many devs optimise their apps for the SGS3's chipset (in a similar way that you see Tegra3 optimised games).
Having said this, the SGS3 also has a lot that other phones don't:
-There are various storage options and more importantly expandable storage
-Being so popular means that it has a huge variety of accessories (almost iPhone-like in that respect)
-It has a removable battery which means that you can fit an extended battery if you wish
-It has a menu button so you don't get the three dots softkey like you do on HTCs
-TouchWiz (whilst ugly) has some amazing features
-It still has one of the best smartphone cameras currently available
-The development community is huge
-It has a variety of colour options
Samsung galaxy s3.
I think I'm leaning towards the s3 or sucking it up and waiting for the s4 the storage for the dna is a huge deal breaker

I have never liked the screens on the galaxy phones. Look close in person and compare. Regardless of all other factors, the devs will make a speedy Rom with that hardware, and the build quality will be great on both.
The screen will be what you will look at more than anything else. Make sure you won't regret it. Pentile is irritating, even at hi res IMHO.
Black blacks and impressive contrast ratios are good, but seeing gaps between my pixels just ticks me off. That's just me.

Well then please make it HTC lol.
Apple is good at choosing hardware and writing software that is a bit behind the times, and consequently everything works and is smooth all the time.
That being said, I find iOS totally boring. My work bought me an iPad mini, which is cool, but I just can't get interested.

you can buy the vanilla htc one from the play store without contracts, also htc sells an unlocked edition on his site. The nexus are way cheaper, though.

I would wait on the X phone and Nexus 5. IOS is good if you want your money's worth. My iPad 2 is still running silky smooth and my wife's iPhone 5 resells for $380! That's insane!
I have been a Samsung guy for the past couple of years and still am for the most part (waiting for the note 3) but to me the HTC one is much better than the galaxy s4. Two weeks ago I had my first HTC one, loved it but I had to get the S4 so i sold the One and got the s4. It's a good phone but it stutters A LOT, you cannot use the phone for a full minute without the phone stuttering and I'm not exaggerating. Also even though I always liked touchwiz, it's getting really old and needs an ui revamp badly. At the end of the day it's a matter of preference but to me the HTC one is a much more polish device. The s4 features are cool for the first 30 minutes but after a little while they just get in the way and become more annoying than anything. (Except multi window and air view ). The one display is beyond amazing (the one x display is the best 720p display and this puts it to shame), the speakers are incredible and I find myself liking blinkfeed a lot. Less features but way more useful. To each his own

As far as I'm concerned Samsung is in my ****list. How they can release such poor build quality at such high prices is beyond me. HTC time and time again is a perfect combination of power, features and build quality. And ew ew ew touchwiz. Also, would much rather have a phone and a tablet then a cross between the two. Having a smart phone you can't operate with one hand seems a bit useless to me but that's just my two cents. Also +1 on the nexus line of phones if for no other reason than having the latest software asap.
