Neither. Go for a nexus phone. Nexus s/galaxy nexus/nexus 4.

Bought Galaxy Nexus a year ago for the same purpose, worked like a charm for me. I would suggest to go with Nexus too. There are very popular and hacker friendly.

Strictly for hacking/dev-ing, the Nexus 4/Galaxy Nexus. For hacking/dev-ing while retaining a lot of common features (removable battery, expandable storage), Galaxy S3 or Note 2.

Thats right. Nexus is best :thumbup:

I would say the duos as I have never heard of the tipo

IMO ...if cash strapped, any phone will do. Broadens your mind. Just not a Droid Razzr LMAO.

Nexus
I would like to say anexus phone as well since it is completely open.

Reading & comprehension appear to be mutually exclusive around these parts. I've never heard of a Samsung duos so I'm taking a gander that the OP means an "S" class Samsung with duo (sic) cores.

I think the Galaxy Nexus/Nexus 4 is the best choice, because you get always the newest updates.
When ubuntu phone is released, you can also develop for ubuntu phone.

i would also rather go for a nexus device instead of the 2 other devices, there are plenty of documentations and drivers for them and you can also run ubuntu on it. perfect for hacking around.

The google phones are the path of least resistance for hacking. They make things easier than 3rd parties who don't care about users who want to unlock or root their phones.

In that case, Nexus 4 and Note 2, or if price is an issue, Galaxy S3.

Agreed the only plus for the Inspire was the forum on here for it is really good, and it was easy to root and flash correctly.
Also side note I'd be willing to do some snooping around to figure out how to port some kind of multiboot to the Skyrocket.
However I feel like the major hardware differences will be major problems am I right?

FWIW, Init2Winit recently announced that they are looking for someone to continue development on BootManager Pro. I used it on my old Inspire 4G and it worked great. Still looking for something...Anything...like it for the SGH-i727. I have zero coding skills, so if you think you can do something with it, please contact them for the sake of the community!

iphone users could care less what we say (I know, I work with about 30 of them), they know 100% that they have the best phone ever made & that's that.
Most of them just give you a blank look if you bring up ANY other phone........

Exactly!
And I thought religious debates were over and here we are again with apple and samsung xD and yes all of us are aware of the s3's capabilities but let us allow other people to believe in their own right. They can dwell in their illusion as long as they want so let them be.
I just love how Samsung makes it look like the iphone. Jk. I know they're being sued for that. Hopefully, they don't quote me. Lol
Good bye HTC Rezound, hello Galaxy S3!

Wether they are guilty of it or not. Samsung still makes a better device. And i love how we dont sue them for the dropdown notifications.

I've used both the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the iPhone, BOTH are great phones, it's just preference for some users.
Personally I prefer the greater customization of Android, some others may prefer the ease of use in iOS.

Uh, you have to be more specific. What do you want to do with the tablet? Are you an Apple person, or an Android person? 7'? 8.9"? 10"?
you can try the galaxy note tablet
I'm looking for an android tablet. Either a 7" or 10". I was looking between the galaxy tabs 2 both in 7" and 10". Kinda read mixed reviews.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I would YouTube galaxy2 tab vs galaxy note and use spec difference. My personal opinion the note would be my choice because galaxy tab can be hassle with fc even in basic stock. But you gotta find the difference there
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I have a tab 2 10.1. It hasn't had any fc or problems. It also doesn't have very much dev support. It runs well for me, it's rooted, and I use it for watching movies and surfing the web.
Look into the note tablet and the nexus 7. Those are better tablets as far as specs go. They probably also have more dev support. Up to you though, the tab 2 works just fine for me.

Just got myself a nexus 7. Can't give a review or anything as I haven't even unboxed it yet. Personally, I wanted the nexus 10 but its just not in my budget right now. Little brother has an account through newegg so settled for that. Same price as it is through the play store too.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda
I've had a nexus 7 for a few months now. I love it. The constant android os updates are a huge plus for me. There's pretty good dev support, too. For the price, I'm shocked at how much I like it.
There are a few bugs with the screen. Some users report a horizontal line of burnt pixels developing, and other users report blurry edges. My nexus 7 developed the horizontal line last week. I made a three minute phone call and a new nexus 7 arrived two days later. Not bad at all. I've read the screen issues have been fixed as of now.
Oh, it's also easy as heck to root and maintain. Rooting took me less than 10 minutes from start to finish.
Edit:
It depends if u really want a similar experience as the skyrocket. I imagine the Samsung tablets may be a good pick. I found the uber clean stock Android 4.2 system on the N7 was simple enough for me to bounce and forth between the skyrocket and not go bald or blind from stress.

Wanting to switch my galaxy nexus for a note 2

It just hit me today, that I want to get a Note 2. Im wanting a bigger device and for awhile I've been wanting the DNA and also am waiting what the M7 has to offer. But i know that will only be a 4.7 in screen. I still don't know 100% yet. But the Note 2 looks sweet and I've heard great things about it. So anyone that had the galaxy nexus that made the switch happy with their choice? Its hard to leave a device that gets updates quite often but I can always root the note so just curious what people here think

I switched from the Nexus to the Note 2 about 3 weeks ago and I have to say I loving it. I liked the Nexus, but the Note 2 is better in every way. Love the screen, awesome battery life, easy to root and unlock, pretty good development. I can't think of a negative right now.

Yeah pic was taken with my old Galaxy S3, possibly the most beat up phone I have ever seen, where every function still works! The Note 2 is sold and outbound tomorrow, Note 1 has bids, so only a matter of time before the Note 3 is all alone...well except for one ugly ass S3!

Still using my Note i717 here, really want the Note 3 but at the same time I'm still loving this one. Skipped the Note 2 because of its resolution but 3 fixes that issue. I'm at least waiting for CM support before I buy one. No intentions of selling this i717 though, I'll find some other use for it definitely, maybe try putting Debian or Ubuntu on it since I could leave it in non-functioning states without being without a phone.
