Which Dual Core phone Is best?

i m going to buy the dual core phone but guys i dont have any idea that which dual core phone is best
i want gaming modding roms camera form phone so please guid me which one is best except latest release of smasung galaxy nexus and motorola razr

Why would you want the next best? Get the Galaxy Nexus.
If you're just about saving a few quid, and assuming you specifically want an Android handset pick up the galaxy s2... spec and performance is not far short overall, in some ways it's better.

HTC range? Seems to havegood support here.

Samsung Galaxy SII

In terms of specs/potential it is Note..in terms of specs/xda support it is GNexus.

REZOUND!
HTC Rezound is my pick.
Dual Core Qualcom MSM8660 with 1.5 GHz, 1GB of RAM and the best thing about the phone - 720P 4.3 Inch Display!!! better pixel density than even the retina.

i think Mi-One is the best choice atm but he's pretty hard to find...

Not enough hardware to drive it

The SGS2. one of the best dual core chips and its going to have ice cream sandwich soon.
The super AMOLED screen is superb too.

SGS II
My friend got one recently and I checked it out. SGS II is really good. It is definitely well equipped to handle ICS if you are interested in flashing CM 9, when the good folks come out with it.

I haven't 100% decided which phone I'm going to get yet either (between Nexus Prime, Razr, and Resound), though I'm leaning towards the Nexus Prime just because I know it will be the most open. I'm more than likely going to want Cyanogen on whatever I get. The Razr, though water and bullet proof, will probably be the most locked down out of the three :/

S2 /lock.

No, thanks, but I'll be getting a N9.

galaxy s2 >>> galaxy nexus

I'm more of an HTC fan myself, who's you're carrier? Are you gonna start a new contract? The galaxy has a very vivid display but it really depends on who you go through on what phone to pick;-)

I'm having a tough time picking between the new RAZR and the SGS II. I guess I'll have to go play with them both again.

GNexus for sure.

I would go for the Galaxy Nexus for sure. It may not have the most ram or the highest MP camera, but it is a high quality build and scores very well in benchmarks.

We'll have to see when the S2 gets a good working ROM though as ICS is fully optimized for dual cores with hardware acceleration.

Best Android phone on the market?

So what is it? I'm switching carriers soon and would like to know who to switch to. I'm really asking in terms of speed, screen clarity, and the overall cool factor.
Also, could you be specific as to why? You know, specs, etc.

No, the best phone out there would be right now the galaxy s2, this is why:
-Exynos 1.2 gHz processor: much better than qualcomm no matter what (surpassed maybe by the S4 or the Tegra 3 but not yet released)
-Better 8 mp camera: The sensors used by this camera are excellent (maybe only surpassed by the iPhone 4S sensors).
-Mali 400 GPU: One of the best gpu existing today in the market only found in a couple of phones (again maybe only surpassed by the nonreleased chip of the MWC)
-Super Lightweight: One of the lightest phone that some may say it feels cheap but dont
-Super Thin: One of the thinnest phone today only surpassed by the RAZR and other unknown phones.
-Super Amoled Plus screen: Wonderful screen with surprising colors that amaze everyone and with its plus technology it makes a more resolution effect although its only 800x480
this would be some of the reasons of why to choose it
here are my two cents hope it helps, thank if i helped

I have to agree here. While I do agree the SII is better (yeah I'm a GNex owner and my butt is a bit hurt from it) I don't see the margin of difference terribly large. The GNex is still an outstanding phone.

how much is "soon"?
If I was in your shoes, I would prob wait for Samsung galaxy S3.

I agree the international version of S2 is the best, the galaxy nexus does have a excellent screen, one of the best noise cancellation to be found on a phone. Top 3 android phones until Tegra 3 hits is Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus, Droid Razr Maxx.

Wait for GalaxyS3

I have a galaxy s and its amazing. I cant wait for the galaxy 3

Sony Xperia S, it's got a 12mp camera. The best in Android

This is 3vo CDMA (sprint) not GSM (tmo, att, or a carrier that gives a sim card)
EVO 3D. Even though 3D code is only for sense 3.0, the 3vo has quite possibly the best selection of rooms I have ever seen. So far we have:
1. AOSP
2. CM7
3. Sense 3.0
4. Sense 3.5
5. Sense 3.6 (work in progress, or wip)
6. Sense 4.0 (wip)
7. Evo view 4g sense (tablet rom on 3vo)
8. ICS 4.0.3 (only issue is camera)
9. CM9 (same as ics)
And maybe more.!
Not to mention our various tweaks, amazing quadrant scores, dual core processor, 1.5 gHz STABLE over clock with good battery life still (we can go up to 1.8 but its unstable and can pretty much destroy your phone), dedicated developers, qHD screen, and soooooo much more. You should check us out
Plus, with the recent hboot downgrade ability, our phone is now "unofficially unbrickable" which means I can do ANYTHING to it and I can restore it. This phone, even with a select number of issues, is by far the strongest competitor in specs, deving, performance, etc.

I feel it is the galaxy note international version (the non snapdragon version) with its 1.4ghz cpu. Granted the new gen of SoC tech will be better than this but as far as current day is concerned I feel galaxy note is the best. Granted some people hate the huge screen and I understand that but the big hi res screen is just too great to me.

Just a couple points. The galaxy nexus doesn't use a Qualcomm processor. It uses a TI OMAP. If the Exynos is better, it isn't by much.
The GPU is a PowerVR which is probably weaker than the Mali but still decent. It runs Grand Theft Auto III really well, which is the most demanding thing I'd ever do on a phone GPU wise.
The screen on the Nexus is also AMOLED but full 720p (1280×720) instead of the 800X480 on the S2. It is pentile but the resoultion is so much higher it more than makes up for it. This is clearly a winner for the Nexus IMO.
Also the real pros in buying a Nexus:
Faster official updates and completely stock ICS (no touchwiz, sense, motoblur, etc)

Xperia nominated?

Sony may not have the most cutting edge tech in their phones, but I know they are polished quite well. It was Sony Xperia S coming with GB, not ICS that held it back in my mind. Any ways it will update eventually. Please check out my thread, its a discussion of a similar manner.

[Q] HTC One X or Samsung S3?

Hi all I currently have a HTC Sensation but due an upgrade in 3 days time. I have always had HTC smartphones but all this hype about the samsung galaxy 3 is making my decision to upgrade difficult. I had a play with a HTC One X and it is truly a nice phone and I do like the Sense 4.0 interface. However all the hype for galaxy s3 (based on rumored spec) appears to give the impression that it will be the daddy of all smart phones, but I do currently own a galaxy tab 10.1 and im not amazed by the TouchWizz UI, but more information online suggests a new singing all dancing revamped touch wizz interface.
What I want in a phone is nice smooth lag free interface, a decent quick snapping camera and video recorder, decent contacts feature oh and the obvious features of course.
Do I upgrade to the one x tomorrow? or hang on and wait for at least the announced specifications of the galaxy s3?

You will get different answers depending on which forum you post in.
Gs3 not out yet though, so if you not sure prob best to wait.
Me personally, I like sense and HTC build quality, which is why I have one x

For me I think I would say BOTH! hehe
Im getting both anyways

me no like sungsung me feel like a toy me feel a cheap plastic me buy a onex!¡

If you have the will power to wait, then wait for the SIII. I'm pretty sure Samsung will look at the specs of the One X and the new iPhone 5 and then release a better spec'd phone. Just like they redid the Galaxy Tab 10.1 after the iPad 2 was announced.

Sammy knows what HTC's offering well in advance to ensure that the SGS3 willbe better. That the problem with being first to market, its not the best it can be (A9 based cuad core for example instead of A15) so its easy to one-up.
Im predicting a cuad core A15 based Exynos chip with updated Mali GPU and non pentile 720p super amoled plus HD screen...
As much as I love HTC and would rather buy their phones, they cant keep the all-around-best status Samsung has with their SGS series. I mean It has been almost a year and there is no phone that has put the SGS2 to shame yet

The S3 might have negligibly better hardware specs but you can be certain they'll still cheap out on the materials. Apple is proof that specs don't mean everything. The overall package is what matters at the end of the day.
It says volumes about Samsung's phones when their flagship Galaxy S series of phone uses the exact same quality of plastic as the €39 Galaxy Europa.

I suggest getting the OneX now. Atleast you'll have a high end phone right away and currently it is the best available phone (except in the camera dept). You should consider the OneS too, it can best the 4-PLUS-1 chip in the OneX in some benchmarks.
THEN after playing around with your phone for around 2-4 months the SGS3 will be available. Have a look at the specs and anything you might want to look at. If you want it then sell your phone and get an SGS3. If you don't want it then keep your Onex.
*That's what I'd do if I were you but I'd be getting the Xperia S for the Pic and Vid quality Different folks different strokes

I would go for HTC One X with better build quality and display !!!

[Poll] Comparing flagship android devices of each brand

Hi there,
I would like to know how are the best phones popular and which one is the best. That is why I created this poll. If you would like me to add something in the poll, then just let me know, okay?
I am so eager to see the results.
Phones, that currently compete in this poll: Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Google flagship phone), Samsung Galaxy S III (Samsung flagship phone), HTC One X (HTC lagship phone), Motorola Razr Maxxx (Motorola flagship phone), Sony Xperia S (Sony flagship phone)
Note: Actually, Sony Xperia Acro S is better than Sony Xperia S. Anyway, I did not choose it because most people do not know, that this new beast is around. They are both really good, but Acro S is slightly better.
Feel free to post below.

Galaxy Nexus IMO. Especially with new Jelly Bean Although it's duel core and not quad core, it is as smooth as GS3 and also there are tons more ROMs and such. Also I really like the fact that you can easily root by fastboot commands

The Nexus will stay relevant for years to come so it's a better option in development terms.
However, for anything else, I'd say SGS3.

The Atrix HD is more of a Motorola flagship phone, despite a smaller battery it has better internals, and better screen (also shipped with ICS as opposed to being upgraded).
I'm on the xda app so I can't vote, but I think I'm going to vote for the Nexus, pure Google and fast updates.
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium

I like the Nexus for the on time updates, but in all other categories I prefer the Xperia, especially in terms of design.

I am wondering to see how I am the first one to vote Samsung Galaxy S3. Man, it has beaten HTC One X in almost all benchmarks...

The S3. Sure, the Nexus gets first dibs on official OS updates, but ROMs can fix that for pretty much any other device. You can alter the software, not the hardware

The atrix HD is a downgrade from the original atrix if you look at the specs. Razr maxxx is Motorola's flagship device for now.

Gotta be the s3, beats out the one x in every aspect so that's no competition. The razr is a joke, as is any Motorola phone to be honest. Uggghhh, motoblur. The only thing close to the s3 development wise is the nexus which obviously has more, but the s3's specs more than make up for that

Yeah yeah, but I am afraid, that Android 4.2 Key Lime Pie will not be officially available on Samsung Galaxy S III. I would have chosen Nexus because its cheaper on Android 4.1 faster and I dont like the look of Touchwiz.
I also hate "Designed for humans. Inspired by nature" Samsung actually lacks creativity. All the galaxy series are similar to iPhone appeareance and Touchwiz is similar to iOS. That is the only thing I hate about Samsung....that they copy everything. But Nexus has neither of it. S III has copied curved body of Nexus, too.

Yeah, but Nexus is faster even though it has got proccessor with lower clock. But this processor was designed to run at 1.5 GHz so it can be overclocked easily without damaging your phone. I hae heard that Xperia has problems with the sensor buttons.
I also do not get why almost all the manufacturers make the "context menu button" when they come with Android 4.0. Its useless....S III could have had 3 buttons and instead of "context menu button" should have added the "recent apps button".

Benchmarks dont mean much. Especially Quadrant, which is really bad. You can score 3000 but you wont be faster than newer and better device, which score 1500. I think that Samsung Exynos Quad core is faster than Tegra 3.

[Q] Which phone to buy between 20-25K rupee or 500$

I am planning to buy a new smartphone. After a heavy market research, i settled on sony xperia S. But i came to know, that it is a pretty old phone. Its been in the market for a more than past 8 months. What i hear from others, is sony does not let out firmware updates on the right time.
It perfectly fits into my criteria, a 12MP camera,1.5ghz processor and a big screen.
so i am a little worried about the support for it from sony.
whats your call guys ??
Thanks in advance

Anyway, Nexus 4 no doubt. I don't see why you'd pay extra for a worse processor, worse screen, cheaper feel in hand, less RAM, ugly TouchWiz etc. There are obviously some benefits to the SGS3 like some of TouchWiz's great features and the far better storage options (with SD slot) but neither of these are worth the extra money.

I will suggest you HTC One S. it's a best smartphone by HTC because it comes with 4.3 inch screen display, 4.0 android operating system, 8 mega pixel rear camera with auto focus & 1.3 VGA front camera, Dual-core 1.5 GHz processor, 1650 mAh battery capacity. You can read full review here:

Have been in doing some search for phones myself, as I have almost lost hopes of getting a NX4 in the near future.
In the range you have specified, I would stick with a NX4, provided you get it from US. Otherwise, I would suggest the call is between a HTC One S (Seems to be stockout in most websites) and Xperia S. By the way, HTC One S available in Asian markets has an S3 processor compared to the S4 processor available in other markets. So again, you might want to check that out also.
Don't think there is any point in buying a SII now.

Thanks for all the reply.
It helped me a lot. I think people are talking about nx4 a lot here.
And yes, I am planning to get one from US. But if in case, it doesnt workout, i cant wait for it to get released in india.
That's why i am looking out for another alternative. Can anyone, tear down xperia S for a complete review.
As i asked previously, can i expect JB and other updates for it. Seeing Xperia SL in market, i think sony will wrap up xperia S soon.
so is it still worth buying

None of those specs are even remotely close to newer flagships. Again, if you can get better (the Nexus 4) for less, then why bother with an older phone? I doubt it's going to be that easy to find one either.

HTC One S has JB and Nexus 4 will keep you ahead in Android Game! Xperia S is good and since it has got AOSP Support it will give you good upgrade path. How about Sony Xperia Ion? Not Bad considering screen size.
