Galaxy R (Dual-core 1Ghz ARM-Cortex A8/9 with Tegra 2)
LG Optimus 2x (This one is obvious)
Motorola Defy (I think it's not sold anymore - TI OMAP 3630 Dual-core 800Mhz with PowerVR SGX530)
Galaxy S Advance (Not very sure about phone specs)
Nokia Lumia 808 Pureview (Don't get me started)
Herpderp Defy.

Thanks man. Had a quick look at your suggestions:
R is bigger (i personally find Ace size optimal for a phone rather than PDA) and more expensive (another £60), so the Ace2 = more bang for buck.
Optimus, very similar, better spec(?) - dislike the 4 hardbuttons layout.
S Advance appears to have 1ghz dual core. But at this stage looks like a 295£ phone.
Wouldn't touch a Nokia smartphone.
Ace 2 it is then!

The new acepta Its really Cool !! ;D

The 2x is almost similar to the R , with Tegra 2 as well
Herpderp Defy.

More suggestions:
Samsung Galaxy W (Probably a smaller version of Note)
Galaxy Note (Quite huge)
Galaxy SII (everyone's favourite)
Galaxy Ace Plus (LOL it's not that bad)
HTC Sensation XE/XL (XE = beats , XL = bigger screen)
HTC Edge (is it out yet ? Lol)
Motorola Defy+ (An upgraded version of my phone)
The badass Xiaomi phone (LOL)
Samsung Focus S (WP7 variant of SII)
Herpderp Defy.

Note really is massive.
W is a good equivalent, but prefer dual-core.
Sensation is another 100£ more. S II another 200£
Edge seemingly not available yet.
Xiaomi doesn't look too bad at all!!! - http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/27/xiaomi-phone-review/
Defy+ 4 buttons, sorry just not for me.
Ace + should be Ace pointless.
Focus S is a Windows phone...aka yuck.

Sony solo. 3.7 bravia screen. 1ghz dual core. 5mp camera. Floating touch (just move your finger over the screen). Will get ics.

Other phones sucks! GO AHEAD GALAXY ACE!

[Q] QWERTY/QWERTZ keyboard android

Hi,
Im looking for an android phone with qwerty keyboard. I recently purchased Xperia Pro but it doesnt fullfill my expectations - what annoys me the most is the constant (and kinda slow) refresh of (any) launcher connected with sliding the keyboard out or in.
So, my next target is Motorola Pro+. Im a bit nervous of how is it unsupported and about the shape of the keyboard but apart from this I like the bar construction with qwerty front-facing keyboard and portrait screen (better for me than landscape).
But Im pretty much disappointed with the small number of android bar-style qwerty phones there is - ie. with acceptable screen size and resolution and performance.
Are there really no (say) bar-style qwerty android phones with 1GHz cpu and 3,5" 800x480 screen and some acceptable amount of internal memory, ICS compatible?
If there are, please, write me about it. Or write me about how great and cool the Morotola Pro Plus is, despite the GB version of android.
EDIT: JUST WANT TO STRESS OUT I DONT WANT A SLIDER. IM LOOKING FOR A BAR-STYLE PHONE. OR, IF IT WAS A SLIDER, SOMETHING SLIDING DOWNWARDS, LIKE BB TORCH. THANKS.
Im looking for something like this:

C'mon, I believe I specifically wrote I'm looking for a "bar-style" phone ... Not a slider! And IF I wanted a slider, then sliding down, something like a BB Torch.

Now I found something called Motorola XPRT. However, it looks like Motorola Pro Plus is better. Am I right?

What about galaxy y pro. It looks good. Don't know much about it but you can find out.

The only thing I can think of is the Samsung Galaxy Chat, with ICS. However, it has a very low res screen (320x240) and its only 3 inches diagonal. But its biggest selling point is ICS.
It has a single core 850 MHz processor and 4 GB of internal storage.

Yeah, youre right about the ICS being the biggest selling point - Id be afraid of the speed of the system though. And the resolution clearly sucks ... :cyclops:
Looks like Im ending with the Motorola Pro Plus, back to gingerbread ...

Just bumped into this - Samsung Galaxy M Pro B8700. Better-than-****ty resolution, 1GHz CPU ... looks worth checking ...

Got Pro Plus and it's a great device. As I went through other similar devices (qwerty, android, touch screen), this one offers the most (processor, higher resolution) :victory:

MTK6577 phones?

Hi All,
Been seeing a lot of china phones running the MTK6577 + SGX531 and was wondering if anyone had any real performance figures on any of these devices, particularly those with screen resolutions greater than 800x480.
There are a lot of knock-off phones running this however there are some china-branded phones sporting them as well.
Ive seen some threads surrounding haipai devices that are running this SoC, however they only seem to have 512MB RAM and WVGA screens (albeit the screens are quite large physically).
I was wondering if there were any phones running MTK6577 with 1GB RAM and a 960x540 or better yet a 1280x720 screen?
I understand that they are cheap and would like to know if they represent 'bang-for-buck' at all?

Well depends who makes it ...xiaomi is great got the mi-1 going to get the two ... look at fastcardtech.com for xiaomi mi-2
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

I have the Haipai x710d MTK6577, And so far i love it, Rooted with a custom rom, Super fast and lots of features 2gb of usable space, With the custom rom it fixes the SD card problem so you are able to save all your data and app on it now. very speedy, great screen color yeah its not a super amoled or anything but it looks great to me, It depends on opinion about the screen resolution and the way it looks. Games play great. Battery life is awesome. Camera is awesome. ICS 4.0.9, For me and this is my first second Chinese phone, And so far i love it. recommend to anyone.

I am interested in knowing the basics:
How is the phone signal, volume and clarity?
How is the GPS lock? Is it fast enough (under 10 seconds)? Is it usable for google navigation?
How is the camera? Fast enough with good pictures?

I have been looking at the HaiPai however the low screen resolution is a bit unfortunate.
Was wondering if you had run Antutu on it at all?

we need an a chinese phone section.
Just got my Amoi n820, trying to figure out how to root it.
Anyway Antutu score is about 5400+ ? its actually a pretty decent performer

It appears that there is an S3 knock-off that has a 1GB RAM and a 1280x720 screen which is pretty decent.
I have also found a "Hero H9500+" which is essentially a Zopo ZP900 but with only 512MB RAM and a 5.0MP camera (8.0MP would be better but ahh well).
Still for less than $200 it has a 5.3" QHD 960x540 screen. Havent been able to find any video demonstrations of it however.
It would be awesome to have a 5"+ phone with 1GB RAM and a 1280x720 screen. I think we will see them soonish.
I understand that MediaTek are bringing out a quad-core (i think its MTK6585?) later this year which should see quad-core china phones boom. The GPU is supposed to be the SGX544 which is used in TI OMAP 4 amongst other things.

Can some one please tell me which is the better processor b/w MTK6575 and MTK6577? Thanks.

MTK6575 - single core
MTK6577 - dual core
The MTK6577 is better.

how can i root this Hero H9500+?

Try getting the HDC Galaxy S3 Original, Plus, or Pro. They are almost perfect Samsung Galaxy S3 copies and I believe they have a 1.2ghz dual core processor in there and an 8 megapixel camera. I just don't know if there is a way to root it or install custom ROMs on it.

Be very careful. Many shops advertise 1,2 Ghz but they do send you a 1.0 Ghz phone. Afaik there is no 1.2 Ghz variant around.
I own one of the "1.2ghz" MTK 6577 and the fact that they have a sticker with "quadcore CPU" on it should tell you something about how the chinese advertise their products.
That being said i knew that i am buying a 1.0 GHZ dualcore phone and i am very happy with it. It's really fast and powerful enough to do some gaming if one likes to.
It's the Tinji I9300 S3 clone 4,7 inch. It's getting sold under all sorts of names aparrently.

TW is TouchWiz (from Samsung Galaxy phones, look a screenshot of the home screen up on Google.) and AOSP is Android Open Source Project, and the design of that is found on the Galaxy Nexus (stock Android, no changes made to any icons.)

A goodbye Story :)

Okay after owning a year I finally sold my Optimus 3D [P925]. Its quite a great phone, but sadly I never used the 3D feature . Anyway Thanks to every one who help me on making the Optimus 3D experience more pleasure. The only reason I am selling this phone is because of its weight, thickness and 2D camera quality [Photos, but the Full HD videos are good ].
Anyway cause I don't like bigger screens, I will stick with another 4.3" screen [Maybe I will purchase a HTC One S, Galaxy S2], but I didn't decided yet.
I will come back to this forum though to help others with as much as I know
Thanks Again to all contributors in this Section/Thread

The best dual sim android phone

Please recommend some the best and easy to root
I have B92M, but dissapointed with only 2000 mAh battery, with often 3G WCDMA internet surfing battery is over for about 5 hours.....crazy......
My liking is :
Xiaomi MI-2
* Qualcomm 8064 CPU (Quadcore)
* 2GB RAM
* 16GB ROM
* Graphics processing comparable to the XBOX 360 (Adreno 320 graphics chip)
* 3000 mAh battery upgrades
* 4.3 inches high PPI retina screen, 1280x720 resolution. The touch screen to do (the OGS / TOL), the single glass fit technology, Ultra Narrow design to protect the glass.
, but unfortunately it is single sim....:crying:
Which dual sim smartphone is really close to him?
