With so many out there today, which Android should I buy ?

Hey, I've been using winmo for almost 4 years now. I want to switch to Android now. But I see so many reviews and specs war each day. I'm actually confused on which one to buy. =|
So as for your experience please suggest me.
My requirements good gaming must support games from gameloft.
Full web browsing experience.
Good ROMS support, Overclocking support without burning (lol), CM7 support and most updated on XDA-Forums. (Like winmo's HD2 is most updated and feature full phone till date.)
It's not possible for me to goto each phone's thread and read the whole day lol. So please advise from your experience.
Thanks.
Ps. no 4G phones yet in my country. Just 3G.

Galaxy S2
That's my 2nd Android phone right after Nexus one and I am undoubtedly MEGA HAPPY

It all depends on country and carrier.

thanks you both.. =)
well carrier doesn't matter to me. I want to buy a GSM model.
I was planning for Xperia Play but the 400mb ram and the heavy UI by SE is holding me back.

Atm the GS2 and HTC Sensation are the 2 high end phones out there. As they both house a dual core processor.
The sensation has higher resolution, de GS2 more memory.
in my opinion they are equal, but you might want to read into them a bit.

if you have money sgs2, if you dont have money sgs1.

I agree and samsung galaxy s II or I are really tough competitors especially when you inject them with voodoo!

Lumia 900, no other phone on the market compares to the lumia 800 in form factor, durability, aesthetics, or speed. The 900 is the next logical step.

Or the htc titan 2, 16mpx but only 720p recording :facepalm:

I quite like the Nexus, but the screen is a bit too big for a daily mobile. I've currently got a Desire HD and thats big enough for me.
I currenty carry around an iPod Touch, my Desire HD, and a work Blackberry 9780. So Iwant something to combine my phone and iPod.
I'd love to stay with Android so I'll be watching closely to see what they can come up with that has descent battery life in the next 6 months - that way I can play my music on it without worrying about having enough charge for the rest of the day.

I want a xperia play 2
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

GNexus... if it ever comes to Tmous. and not as a replacement to the Senny but just a second handset to play with. always wanted a developer phone...
if not, gonna wait it out to see how this whole quad core pans out.
I'm happy with my Senny right now so I'm in no rush.
on the tablet side, might pick up that new 7" Asus Tegra 3. at $249... cheap thrill.
(not that I really need a tablet)

Either HTC Rhyme or Galaxy W.
I hate big screens, and i'm looking for a descent screen that is not more than 3.5" and at the same time a good processor that is not less than 1GHz.

I'll be getting the gnex. This week.

Think my next one will be a Samsung Galaxy Tab. At least it has a tegra GPU and ARMv7 cpu unlike my LG Optimus One. Too bad it costs a bunch of money(at least for me is kinda unaffordable)

Got The same Phone!
Will do same till 3rd step.
GS2's camera(s) is/are enough for me but if the Xperia S Gets DSLR lens and Capability then I will think about it. LOL!

I would get a high end phone since it's an investment, most likely for 2-3 years

Most likely when the Galaxy Nexus drops for Sprint, I'm getting it. And while so, I'll be waiting for the Galaxy S III. Love my current GSII/E4GT, so I'm hoping the GSIII will probably bring the same performance expectancy.

Gamer phone

I want a gamer phone that means i want To play games like mc3.
Which phone Would be The best choice for that
ps:it should be cost around 250€ maybe a little bit more
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium

Have you checked out the xperia play? Also, any current dual core phone should be sufficient to play mc3

Buy Samsung Galaxy S2. It will be the best choice for gaming as mostly all games support it. Modern Combat 3 runs like a beast on it.
Dont buy Xperia Play...! It only has 512MB Ram, 1.2Ghz single core cpu and an old Gpu which is not good to run latest games like Nova 3, etc...
And btw game developers have stopped optimising games for XperiaPlay.
So S2 is the best choice for your budget.
And 1 top reason for buying Galaxy S2 : Galaxy S3 has the same Mali-400 GPU which means all games in the future which will support S3 will also support S2...!!!

Yes..galaxy S Advance is also a good choice but its price is only around 50$ less than S2. S2 comes with a 8mp cam while as S Advance has 5.0mp...and S2 scores more in benchmark results...GPU only plays a small role in running games..CPU and RAM does the trick..So i think u should wait a little bit and save some enough money to buy S2. You will never reget the wait once you get it.

As i said i cant go with the original s2 because its not available here.
Now i have a galaxy ace which has an armv6 proc. and its no more supported not in games or any other app. Now the main problem is i can live very well with my galaxy ace if i have to wait for a new generation of proc. Aka cortex-a15 or something like that.

I bought my S2 from Germany too, and it's not G. You just have to look for one.
Maybe you should look for one used?
Sensation is a little bit cheaper, but its GPU is nothing compared to S2's.
Sent from my wallet

Then maybe you should buy Sony Xperia Arc S. Price is too less for its features which the phone has.
It costs 200$ less than Galaxy S2. So it will be a good choice. It scores nearly the same in benchmark results like S2. Morever Many games are also supported.

Ok am not gonna pimp you my current phone or pimp you the fantasy phone i would like to buy if i could myself.
What am gonna suggest is the criteria for your choice of phone, and one other utterly vital issue if your main concern is gaming.
1:
Get a phone that is know to work with sixaxis
If your unaware what it is it is a completely awesome app that allows dualshock PS3 sticks to be used as controllers for Android devices via bluetooth, its well developed and ultra stable, best updated regularly (but not recently).Has many features that make it THE BEST choice for a decent controller for Android gaming.
These include full button config, touch control emulation, apparently Earl the dev is working on accelerometer emulation too. Nothing else on the market or that is proposed yet covers the options list of sixaxis.
It completely TRANSFORMS the experience of playing games like MC3, or ShadowGun, N.O.V.A., etc. But it is just as awesome for racing games, arcade games, emulators, etc, any gaming (that's until its implemented) that's not accelerometer dependent.
Oh yeah it easily works out as the cheapest Android controller solution too
2:
Gaming will HAMMER your battery, it will beat it down like a red headed step child, then beat it to a pulp as it lays on the ground, then round it off by violating any moist orifices your battery may have. Gaming will keep doing this to your battery without any shred of empathy, guilt, or remorse.
So make sure that the phone you get either has a good battery life or one with plenty of high capacity 3rd party batteries to choose from.
The ideal would be a phone with both characteristics. Buy a few spare batteries 3+ unless you don't mind being caught short of battery when out and about.
Also remember the faster the CPU and the more cores the faster your battery will get flensed down to low power warning. Not encouraging you to get a low end CPU just reminding you.
Everyone gets all school girl excited about quads, but the current generation of duals are more than enough to run current games with ease.
I own an old HTC Desire Z 800mhz stock CPU i usually OC it to 1.1 -1.3GHz when gaming but many games don't even need this boost.
As i stated am not suggesting a low end CPU but guys get over focused on the fastest they can get ........ often its an exercise in Geek willy waving ...... and is often just as purposeful
3:
Screen size, obviously you do not want a 3" screen to play games, my approach is biggest you can get when taking all other features into account.
4:
Roms choice many custom Roms usually the more stripped and optimised ones like CM, AOKP, or Miui often give better gaming performance than a whole slew of other Roms.
5:
Maybe with your budget you should consider going 2nd hand. If done carefully its nowhere near as fraught with risk and danger as many seem
to think. Its probably THE best way to guarantee HUGE bang for the bucks spent.
Hope this helps bruv

First thanks for your detailed post.
Second i dont want a 2nd hand phone (bad experiences) and maybe im going to sell my ace so i can maybe buy a s2:victory:
the ace costs now around 160Euro (new), what do you think i will get for it if im going to sell it. It has no scratches only some micro at the chrome case and the chrome is at the bottom a little bit decomposed. but thats not a big thing. AND i have rest warranty.

Bad news for me.
I searched for the original s2 here in germany but the only thing i found was that there is no s2s whitout the g anymore:screwy:
I also checked for the adreno 320 aka s4 pro. Its very fast i surely very good for gaming but the first devices will be released to the end of this year

Should be good, but are you bothered with the screen size?
Anything with dual core and decent graphic are still up to par with today's modern games such as nova 3, but if you really into gaming i suggest you to get a phone with bigger screen size because it's what matters they most.. e.g galaxy nexus?

Best low end android phone

Wife wants one but as she has not much experience with smartphones (except symbian) a low end device would be a good starting point.
Decent camera, 5mpix+ and power to run Web browser so it's not frustrating.
Ofc the bigger the screen the better.
Main use case would still be talking so if there are problems with built in speaker or modem sw that would be deal killer.
Any suggestions?
Price max 120€, that's ~150$ and needs to be available/shipped to Europe.

I would get a decent one and just strip the programs she wont use. I personally regretted getting abasic one to start with a week later when I wanted more out of it and had to go buy another. Same with my wifes phone.. hers lasted about a month. Same with BOTH of our tablets. May as well start out with what you are going to want if you ask me.

I'd get a mid-range phone. Maybe one that is over a year old but still powerful, like the Galaxy S2. Probably better off getting a phone that used to be top of the line and has been discounted heavily due to depreciation as opposed to a phone that is entry level. I would really stray from weak Android phones.

Thanks guys for the replies. Will rethink my strategy here

^This.
I wouldn't recommend a low-end Android phone to anyone, as it simply defies the whole concept of smartphone. It is not exactly "smart" when you have to wait whole eternity for a simple operation as starting a web browser, and doing a search. My Wildfire got so slow, that even typing an SMS was frustrating because of slowdowns. When using a offline navigation (IGo), I had to wait several minutes for program to load, and for GPS initialization. Even after it loads, it is frustrating to use it, because of weak CPU.
I guess, any phone with 1Ghz processor will be a good start...

All guys here are right........low end Android phones are very slow.
Really consider to buy a phone with least 1000 mhz.......they quite fast and great

Part of it is I speak from experience. I got my wife a Samsung Intercept for Virgin Mobile about a year ago and it was abhorrent. It was a low-end phone when we got it and it didn't take long for it to just become nearly unusable. Even with a FroYo upgrade it still sucked. Between the horrible phone speed and horrible internet speed that Virgin provided, we did a complete 180 and I got her an unlocked Galaxy Nexus and now we do T-Mobile PAYG 4G plan. Now she's really uses her phone for web stuff, apps, messaging, and taking photos, as opposed to before with the Intercept where she could just message and talk for the most part.

I would go with xperia mini or mini pro, they are perfect phones with very good camera. I think woman can apreciate the outlook too.

How about the good ol' Galaxy S?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

how about considering lenovo phones?

samsung galaxy S 1 would be a good one. I'm assuming she just wants a phone that works all by itself and stuff right? No custom roms or other "technical" stuff?

the s2 is a good choice but will easily break your budget. is this price with a contract or without? there's a bunch of phones available, as long as you stay above 1ghz as previously mentioned, and she'll be fine

4th: The is no yet official jelly bean, now yeah you will tell me that MC8 is branded and shyt..yeah still I highly doubt that this is in any way a final firmware (This means that bugs are STILL expected)
5th and last: I won't lie to you samsung has very bad support for their mid-range devices and even on higher end ones so yeah, if you are an update maniac get yourself a nice nexus phone which is on a ridiculously low price right now on amazon.

A lot of games doesn't work and every 3d game lags and, battery live is ~ 1day (normal use), audio jack work only with samsung headphones, JB runs like sh"t after 2 days of using (reboots, crashes and menu lags).
Samsung never again. They just made s**tty phone.

Troll post? Why would someone care about the bugs of mc4 while there is an updated version mc8?

What do you want us to do!? This website is for android development, not for complaining. If you hate the Ace 2 soo much then fuc* off from this forum and buy some other phone.

yo, there is no need to be aggressive, xda is a forum for development but this is exactly the reason General threads exist. This is a complaining-discussion thread so keep it cool.

So you think this phone, that fall from 2nd floor (slipped from my hand) and still survive without a dead pixel, is ****ty? Good thought..

I have to say, I don't love my ACE 2 but I like it alright.

Good cheap phone. I dont have lag's. Battery life is good, nice camera, good display, JB runs smooth with mc8/The Italian Job, games(most of them) works without major problems, only thing that i dont like on him is lack's of more custom roms. That is the only disadvantage for me. For such a cheap device is pretty good.

Xda users "awesome phone" placebo or I have not luck with my phone ?

I hate my ace 2 too, but i tried a lot of other phones about 200 € and every of them had some big problems... because of The custom rom guys (thanks mkel and kyrillos) the ace 2 runs pretty smoth, but there are so many things i dont like on this phone that cannot be solved with a custom rom :l

Then just buy a different device - how simple is that. For me this phone has everything I need. I'm not gamer and making pictures not often. General use for me is internet. Screen size is just right. So will it be good device or will it suck is defined mainly by your needs. For me it covers my needs compeletly so it is good device.
Regards!

This is my favourite Android phone so far (I think I've had 7 or 8). I prefer it to my Nexus 4. Size, speed, battery life are all just right. Still not as geeky as my Nokia N900 or as cool looking as my Ericsson T39, but no Android phones are!

I suggest you one thing: go to your local resell and buy another phone; I think is good, and I don't trust your opinion..
No one cares If is good for you or not..

Can someone close that thread?
This is provocation.

It may not be the best phone but its worth ur money. Plus we got the jb we asked for. The onlu thing i dont like about this phone is the lcd bleed on the top of my screen that creates a fog on the side screen sometimes. And the lack of cm10 makes me impatient.
