[Q] A Phone? which to get

Hi all,
I am in the process of helping my friend purchase an android phone. I'm not the best in decision making and since he is on At&t and I am on Verizon there is not a whole lot I can help him with... So I'm asking for recommendations on the best phone out there on At&t at a price no higher than $50 (refurbished is okay) This will be his first android phone and id love to get him to join the community but his concern is that he doesn't want the phone to be obsolete after a year (because he is signing a 2 year agreement) and doesn't at the moment want to flash any custom ROMs, but i may be able to change that.
Thanks in advance!

He could try to go with the Galaxy Nexus or wait a bit for the GS III. Not sure about the prices though.

ZTE Blade or HTC Desire

I would probably wait for the HTC one X or maybe the Galaxy S3 sort of next generation smartphones

Nexus has better hardware and better support.
SGT has larger screen and expandable memory.
I'd go for N7

N7. If I was choosing I would definately go for the Nexus

If its any indication, I sold my Galaxy Tab 2 for the Nexus.

Nexus 7 for the mass development it's going to have.

lol?
thats the last thing in this world i'd buy
i want a microsoft surface when it comes out,
i have enough cash with me right now to buy a nexus 7 but i still long for a sgs3

Nexus 7 because of newer features.

Nexus 7
Nexus 7 for having better processor.

iPad 3 for bigger screen.

Nexus 7 if you want Android updates that bring better features.
I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it's still on Android 3.2 honeycomb.
It's one of the reasons that I bought this nexus. My future android devices will all be nexus.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

If you dont mind having a smaller screen go for the nexus 7 i have a galaxy tab but its really slow also nexus 7 has jellybean and will recieve future updates before the galaxy tab (if they ever get an update) i really hope google makes a 10.1" version of the nexus, hope i helped

TY
Thanx for your reply guyzz!
I will definitely go for n7!

Can all questions about buying phones or a comparison between phones be posted in here please?
This is just an idea so it makes these forums easier to deal with.

hi jainkashish96! for me is nexus 7 for same reasons of choosing galaxy nexus. it's google's "official" tablet, full support, fresh updates with no long waiting, no limitation caused by other company and olso an nvidia kay! i think Kay is one of the best idea for mobile world, especially for tablets . don't forget the dimension, perfect for me, a good compromise.

Nexus 7 for sure Go for it

take a look at this, http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/nexus-7-review/ and keep in mind function like google now that is million times better than s-voice that personally consider an app/service that samsung had to add for upcoming voice assistant services, but is only a s**** app on a device, badly developed

interessant question i have the same problem do you want hel pme please?

[Q] My first smartphone is getting old.

Hi boys, and girls
As my 2 year contract on my carrier, is getting to the finish line, i want to get something new. (I will keep my small litle muscle phone O1 as a second phone )
At the first i wanted the galaxy nexus, because of the great software support, and the developement, in our xda forum.
Then suddenly i saw the new Optimus 4x, but, there is one but. There is no developement in here, because of locked bootloader
I really don`t know what to take. Thought about the Xperia S, but nope.
The phones what i need to choose from , are - 1. Galaxy nexus
2. Optimus 4x
Maybe Acro S ?
Maybe some other suggestions?

Maybe the new LG Nexus? It'll be $399 on Google Store unsubsidized according to rumors.

Yeah, but it will not be available in my country for a while.

seeing how often google release OS.
I will stick to nexus device for fastest OS update
I love my Google experience device motorola xoom running AOSP jelly bean

Yeah. I think I'd go for the new nexus phone. Just wait for a lil while

I think getting a new LG phone is a waste, Anything other than a galaxy nexus is.
The new android OS? Availably from day 1.
Every app is tested on that first, which means closer to no bugs.

I think that i will take Galaxy Nexus. Just because of software support, developement. The performance is also o.k No need for 4 cores.

Yes, i know, but it is the only device, with the best price/performance on my carrier. I will take it on a contract.
As i said, maybe something from xperia line - The acro s?

Ahh. Bought Galaxy nexus today. No need for a quad core phone,becouse there is not where to put in all potential. Its enough with a dualcore.

When you say best wouldn't that be a matter of opinion? I've been enjoying my Nexus S 4G quiet a bit and I've tried a lot of the newer phones (S3, Galaxy Nexus, etc...) But keep coming back to my NS4G as for tablet no clue but the Nexus 10 looks awesome x)

Best tablet ive used was the asus tranformer pad infinity. Best phone id have to say samsung galaxy nexus.

Opinion?
As it was asked earlier, This sound like an opinion question. But I do like facts and more information before recommending a device. However as far as overall "Android" device, I would say that is the Nexus line because of the heritage and Options/Customization.

if you talk about customization and numbers of roms made for it HTC HD2 and SGS-1 are best.

I think best tablet spec wise is the Nexus 10. The best phone is a dual between Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy S3.
My Nexus 10 is cooler than yours.

But they r outdated phones with poor specs. The nexus4 and s3 have a lots of development goin on!
Sent from the zombie world. No they aren't coming yet!

I would say the best Android devices currently are the Galaxy Note II, Droid DNA and Nexus 10.

The best would be Samsung Galaxy S III.

Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, or even Nexus One.
The Nexus line has and continues to have great developer support outside of Google. They're great for what you want to do.

Go with a Nexus device. Either a Nexus 7 or Galaxy Nexus. Since the goal is to learn about Android, those are your best bets. Having a Nexus device gives you the ability to compile the Android code yourself and flash it to your phone.

what so special?
