I have a Note II GT-N7100 and love it. However, I need an additional Android (GMS unlocked) phone.
So far I looked the Nexus 4 which seems to be a good candidate in pretty much every respect. The one thing I do not like is that the battery is not replaceable.
My questions are:
How good is the battery? How long does it last (on a charge and lifetime)?
Is there another comparable phone I should look at?
Are there any other issues I should concern myself with?
This phone will be used with a prepaid GSM service in the US and abroad
Thanks for your help.
Why do you need a second phone?
I carry a dual sim phone the Samsung galaxy grand duos. Saves me from carrying two phones. The only thing letting this phone down is the memory only 4GB. Info can be found by googling.
Motorola X phone...

Dear Members,
I have been using Samsung Galaxy S I9000 for the past couple of years. Recently it fell down and the display was broken, Samsung Service centre told me it will cost me 6500 INR to get it replaced. So I decided to upgrade. After looking at options, I have zeroed in on 2 models.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250
or
Sony Xperia SL
I am quite satisfied with both the android phones when it comes to specs. But I am just worried about the issues with them. One of my friend bought Nexus and he always complains that the volume is really low. I have also read in many places about the same issue which is holding me back from buying it.
When it comes to Xperia SL, there are a lot of complaints about the battery life and poor viewing angles in the absence of Amoled.
I am from India, but I am traveling to Duabi next month and will buy the phone there. There is not a big difference in the pricing between the two.
I just cannot come to a conclusion which one should i buy.
Any suggestions will be really appreciated.
So it looks like it's RIP for my current Note 2. I also found out I have an upgrade available for Verizon so it's about time I get a new phone. What's a good phone from Verizon you guys recommend? I don't think I'll go for the Note 3 since I want a smaller phone this time around and I honestly don't really care about battery life.

Note 3 would be a bad choice with the Note 4 coming right around the corner, unless you wanted to save money by going with the older model.
Honestly, any of the flagships offered by Verizon will serve you well. Galaxy S5, HTC One M8, Moto X, Droid Ultra/Maxx/Mini, LG G2/G3. They're all good. The LGs and Samsungs have the best cameras. The HTC One is the fanciest when it comes to construction, although the Kevlar of the Droids is pretty nice too. The S5 and G3 will give you the most options with batteries and removable storage. The Moto X can be customized to your likings on Motorola's website.
Go to the Verizon store or mall or Best Buy and fondle them all. Go here and read the reviews of the phones and features they have.
So now that we know the S6 will not have a removable battery, will you stay anyway?
I know that I will not be sticking around. Based on that fact alone, and the fact the my S4 and S5 have been disappointments, I am making the move to the LG G3. I don't think I will ever be ok with a unit that you cannot pull the battery out of. How much do you think it will cost to replace the battery outside the warranty period?
I'm with you. No removable battery, and no SD card are deal breakers for me. I think there are many like you and I who despise superficial style over substance, function, and repairability.
The Galaxy S6 might as well be an iPhone that runs Android. Most of the reviews trashing Samsung plastic bodies are from iPhone using reviewers.
I will hang on to my S4 Tri-band until it no longer functions. When the time comes for replacement, if LG still makes phones with removable batteries, that is what I will buy.
I'm looking forward to seeing if this is a miscalculation by Samsung. The sales numbers will tell.
I don't find it a need for me to switch from a Note 3, nothing looks worth yet. I'll wait for the Note 5, but we'll see.
Also I'm considering buying an Asus Zenfone 2 to play with, the estimated max 350$ price seems worth it to try.
Better switch to lg g4 when it is released it will be a great device
I thought I might skip the S6 b/c of the no removable battery & no SD card support but I decided to get the S6 Edge when it comes out. Besides my S4, I've been using a Nexus 5 since it first came out and I've gotten used to not having those features. The S6 Edge is just so advanced and good-looking that I'm willing it get it.

Time to upgrade from my Galaxy S4. I have Sprint. Looking for suggestions.
Just saw the specs for the LG 4G. Does the battery really last that long on stand by? http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Samsung-Galaxy-S6,LG-G4/phones/8997,9104
Galaxy S6 / Note5 is turning me off due to the lack of a Micro SD slot...
Do we know if there is a new phone that's going to be released with better specs in a month or two? I can hold out for a little..
I'm looking for a new or new-to-me phone and it seems like I can get either a used older-model high end phone (eg, Galaxy S6) or a brand new budget phone (eg, Moto G4) for about the same price. Any thoughts on the pros and cons of each option? I'm really hoping for general advice on this topic since it trips me up every time I need a new phone!
