[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.

Galaxy nexus has a very very disappointing battery life

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?

Galaxy s3??? Htc one x???
Coz i like quad core!

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.

It depends on your budget. If you've got a fairly large budget and looking to get a fairly new phone with great features and future support and updates then I'd either go with the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Nexus, or the new Nexus 4. I have the Nexus S and it runs great, recently updated it to 4.1.2 Jellybean.
Remember it's all about your budget and if you're the type of person who likes to flash ROM's and whatnot.
Hope that helped,

This helped me even more, thx bro, and yeah Gnexus is cheap and good, the nexus 4 is even better than the gs3 and gnex, but scores low in the benchmarks, so I think a food option is the gnex

which android phone I should choose ?

Hello everybody, I'm a bit confused to choose the best phone on my price range.
So in your opinion which mobile should be the best from my list if we compare, processor, ram, sd mini card availability, screen quality, battery life and so on. Maybe I should take some different phone with similar specifications ?
I got couple of them:
*LG E610 Optimus L5
*Sony ST25i Xperia U
*Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray ST18
*Sony ST23i Xperia Miro
*LG P700 Optimus L7
Any suggestions I will appreciate, thanks indeed.

Search the forums. Look at some of the apps and roms for some of your choices. Choose the phone that best suits your needs.

okay, buy all what I wanted was people opinions and experience

I have a samsung note 2 and it is awesome. But... Is it on your budget?

unfortunately isn't on my budget, p.s. I already had samsung galaxy s and wouldn't be keen to have again

What is your budget ? Are you buying off-contract or carrier-subsidised ?
There are a few good web-sites where you can compare phones side-by-side, I used them myself when I was shopping around.

Not bad. Do you tried to find something used?

When I was first looking, my budget was similar (then I decided to spend a little extra). I would definitely check out used phones. I think I'd been considering a Galaxy S II at that price point, but don't know if you could do better, I think the Galaxy Nexus was a bit more - but I'd check and see if the prices have come down since the Nexus 4's now come out.

Go for the Xperia u you can find it for 150euro but I don't suggest you an android phone for the budget instead go for a wp7.5 / 8 , like the Lumia 620 because wp is much more lighter and fluid on budget phones.

Nice phones but the best is nokia with the flash light and camera 1.3 from the back just kidding .

After trying out a clean and bloat free Android experience, I must say Nexus or a heavily CM supported smartphone.

I didnt have a nexus I have a samsung galaxy s4 i9500 its pretty good but it contains alot of issues and bugs

Which Next Phone...??

I currently have a 2 year old Galaxy S2 GT-i9100. And I am planning to buy a new phone for myself. I would prefer a phone that would have better camera than the one in my S2.
I stay in India. My budget is below Rs30k, while I can extend it up to 32k.
How's Nexus 5.??
