Hey members of XDA,
I wanted your help in buying me a phone. I'm currently using my nexus prime and xperia mini. So, i want to replace mini with a phone within 300$ or about Rs. 16k. Helps would be appreciated :victory:
At that price the best you“ll find here in India is the Galaxy Nexus that too only via unofficial sources.
You can also have a look at Optimus L9 or Samsung Galaxy S Advance.
Or an atrix2 by motorola. ( I'm not sure if it's still available). If you are into the custom kernel and stuff, ignore this. It's completely locked. But development is going on with same stock KERNEL.

I Was suggesting him according to his budget.
We don't have contracts here in India, so we pay full money like you would of you bought an unlocked version.
And s4 would cost nothing less than 35k INR (700$).

he mentioned the nexus prime in the OP
I do believe the Nexus Prime was the Galaxy Nexus before the official announcement.
For 300 dollars you could probably get something like a Galaxy S2 or a HTC sensation

Well i don't want another nexus as i have a prime. So, earlier when i was on low budget i thought about going for xperia j or sola or HTC sesire X. But now as i have an increased budget i was looking for the xperia s or the sl. Galaxy s2 is a bit outdated ( no offense ) And as for s3 it's quiet expensive for my budget ( being around 30k ) and as for s4 it's gonna be around 35k-40k. Which is an outrageous amount for a 10th standard student like me :crying:
Thanks for the replies :good:
Go for a Xiaomi Mi2.

With 300$, I think you should buy Xperia S
Arc S for sure
Arc s isn't getting a jb update whereas xperia s is. So i might go for s or p!

1) Jelly Bean update!! The most important thing! I'm so annoyed by flashing JB roms on my current devices. So many bugs but still developers are working hard on these roms.
2) Camera. I need a camera capable of doing Full HD recording.
3) GPU to play games like RR3, MC4 or Nova 3.
4) Battery Backup. I currently last about 9-10 Hours with the way i use my device. I'm constantly on whatsapp and Kik!
5) Screen size is not an issue but above 3.5 inches.
Thanks for the replies

Well Get i9000 instead.....(Most recommended)
U can also try Galaxy s+, galaxy S advance......
^^^
All three are same models externally.....just the CPU,Chipset,GPU,RAM and Display Differ.........
Again i9000 (sada galaxy S) is the most recommended Since it gets the most Attention...both from Samsung and Devs.....and super-amoled has better battery life than S-LCD's......
Buy a Galaxy i9000 or a Nexus Phone... Best Roms for them and great Developer support.
I'll recommend Xperia Neo V (I have both phones) for the following reasons:
1. Samsung Service and hardware sucks (too many issues just check the forum)
2. SL has no official support for ICS.
3. Limited ROMs for SL.
4. Neo V is faster/smoother as per my experience.
5. No notification LED on SL.
6. Neo V is cheaper with a better SOC.
But, Galaxy SL is easier to mod as compared to Neo V (requires unlocked bootloader, an easy procedure).
Sl is the best in its range..
I ve been using it for almost an year.. til now no problem
Battery backup would be better than ace.
Don't think of xperia u..
Its useless. It has only 4gb internal memory and no external memory card support.
I would recommend against it. The phone is at the end of its support cycle.

hey being an xperia p user i can really vouch that it is way bettter than samsung galaxy s advance ! firstly i would like to put it that samsung has a very poor update policy in india whereas sony xperia p is getting updated to ics 4.0.4 within a week or two ! then again s advance doesnt have nfc and just a 5 mp mediocre cam !! i compared the photos of my phone with my friends s advance on my computer and sonys camera had a stunning pics ! even the super amoled display doesnt compare to my sxp white magic display ! and it has lesser ram available dan sxp ! only thing is that amsung has a gr8 service support in india !!! hope u find my reply useful
Where i live the difference of price is big,s advance is much more cheap, the battery of this phone is very good and the P one said to don't last to much.I really like S Advance!

in india the Maximum Retail Price of S advance is rs. 26999 whereas that of sony xperia P is rs.25799 !! well the pricing strategy of samsung atleast in india is always really bad ! they try to keep a whole lot of margin for the distributors,retailers !! however the best buy price of the s advance in the market is rs.22000 whereas i got my xperia p for rs.23200 that is just 5% more than s advance !! so i guess price isnt a big discrimator in our country regarding both the phones ! well i personally prefer the p but well den again like u mentioned ur phone had a better battery 200 mah more dan my phone and a expansion slot ! bdw my battery lasts me around a day on average use of somewhere about 1 and half hour of gaming and somewhere 2 hours of music and approx 1 hour of other apps !! i would like to know about s advances battery life caus my firend owning the same claimed his battery too lasted just a day !!
Basically my usage is about 2 hours of music,2 hours gamming and something close to 2 hours of internet navigation with wifi and a half hour with 3g.I only turn on data when i need,the same for wifi and gps.I never let it run totally out of baterry but i can say its lasts about 1 and a half day surely. But like you said the price is not soo different in your country,and i really like the P,so in that case i would buy a Xperia instead a SGSA.

go for a used S2
u can try haipai noble i9220, powerful cpu with bigger screen :silly:
In my opinion :
- motoluxe of motorola
- xperia neo V
- galaxy s1 (if you still find it)
I have an Alcatel One Touch Ultra 995. Which is cheaper than 200,- :victory:
With such a nice budget I'd go for a Samsung S2. Actually, given that you're on XDA, I assume that you plan on modding it so I'd just get the one with multi-core CPU and the most RAM.

It would be perfect if you could find Galaxy S or S plus. It woulb be a perfect choice which a lot of oppurtunities for development especially i9000. I9001 is stronger and faster than i9001..
I just bought myself a Motorola Milestone 2 and I'm not regretting it.
I've read a lot about it and people's recommendation is to get the QWERTY version if possible as the keyboard is supposed to be better.
How about £67

If you're into custom roms I'd try to get a used GNex. It's still a good phone with an awesome community and good for another 1-2 years. Imho the community is much more important than the specs nowadays. The OMAP4460 is far away from beeing top notch but if games are not your main concern its performance is adequate. All the features you need in a package much more beautiful and handsome than the Nex 4 (The Gnex does not have inductive charging but it's easy to DIY).
If the Rom is not important or Hardware is the most important thing the 4x HD might be the best choice (but don't bet on getting JB no matter what LG is telling you ).
mmmm im really undecided ....
O4X HD has Roms too, just not as many. And its in black or white

4x hd is made by lg meaning lack of sources and it also gets late updates.
Gnex has the best rom support, but is getting outdated
and imo the xperia ion is the best choice.
its new, got nice specs, and very open source with nice prompt updates
Let get Xperia Ion or Xperia Z the same

Let get Xperia Ion, It looks nice and got good configuration. If you used to check it one time, you can decide easilly; Or you can take the Xperia Z for the same

If you intend to play around with your device a lot (Kernels, Roms, Mods), I'd say the Nexus. If you're not planning to do so, id lean more towards the Ion due to the more reliable company to this day im still iffy about LG

for me galaxy nexus is the best becuse samsung makes a good work
Not Lg gets gets late update and i also heard in the display enters dust ..
With this new version of the Nexus Display Control it has been added support for:
* Galaxy Nexus
* Nexus 4 (existent support before this version)
* Nexus 5
All the gamma interfaces are subjective to the Kernel installed if it supports them. The only part of the app that does not require any modification besides root is the Nexus 4 RGB multipliers (stock Kernel offers it by default). It does not work with any other device besides the ones mentioned above.
This is the unlicensed version of: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nexus4displaycontrol
Its free for XDA users so please do not share it outside the scope of this forum - just direct users to this post.
If you desire you support me you can still purchase the Play Store version, which would surely make me happy.

The 1st post has a picture that has the numbers used........
does not support GALAXY NEXUS?
Running stock android 4.3 rooted on my Galaxy Nexus i9250.
To have a feel of stock ROM, i have not flashed any ROM , the
trickster app with SU isn't supporting these on this stock kernel.
Anyway that there is an app that would let me use this on my
galaxy nexus w/o flashing any other ROM for now.
Def need this file to tweak with RGB setting and let alone the
feel of xenon styling. This is only compatible with LG nexus 4?
Tried on Xperia SP but had "Parsing error"
Does it work on GT-I9300 S3 ?
I'm running Franco Kernel with Franco.kernle Updater so I'm able to change colors and gamma with this app, but what are the benefits of Nexus 4 Display Control app please ?
Thank's by advance
thanks ...
