Depends on a lot of factors. Which carrier are you on (unless you're planning to switch, in which case, which carrier will you be on)? Do you want a keyboard or is touchscreen enough?
After that, you need to consider the size, processor, display, and likelihood of upgrades if that is important to you.
You'd probably do well to go into the store and test drive a few phones for a little while and see what you like.

One thing to consider is what phones will be coming out on your carrier over the next few months. It may be worth it to wait to use your upgrade.

The carrier you're on is definitely one of the most important factors. I remember when people broke contracts for hundreds of dollars just to get their hands on the first iPhone...

it really depends on what you want it to do. Do you want raw power, customizability, developer support? For raw power i'd wait to see if the rumored htc zeta will show up, doubtful about the specs though:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/15/htc-zeta-rendered-rumored-to-pack-2-5ghz-quad-core-cpu-and-ice/
For customizability and developer support i'd look for something that everyone would have like the galaxy nexus

With the Galaxy Note the time has come to stop thinking mobile phone and start thinking mobile tablet. The Note is the mobile tablet you can carry everywhere like a mobile phone yet use like a tablet. The large screen is able to use Desktop view for Web browsing rather than mobile phone view and it is the perfect size for a Satnav. Reading eBooks on the Note screen is a breeze too with no need to zoom to read the text and you get a lot of text on each screen page. Once you have a Note you will find there is no need for a larger tablet because of the high resolution screen which is as good as most laptops.

i Recommend samsung

my advice or galaxy 2 or new model note nice phone

Samsung Galaxy Nexus...
I spent a lot on it, but i'm not disapointed so far!
It's great!
But, i can't compare with ohter android phones at all, since my previous one was a windows mobile 6.5 one xD
Hehehe..
But the GN.. is hot... and beauty!!

I would say Galaxy S2 or Galaxy Nexus.....both are awesome phones

My vote: Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Good choices. Galaxy s2 is a great phone.

samsung galaxy s 2 gt9100 perfect phone...i am using that phone and i can only change it for galaxy s3

samung galaxy S2 rullz

in a month SGS3 might be available. It will be top notch and highly supported=faster updates.

The Galaxy Nexus would be a great choice since it has ICS and doesn't include a lot of Samsungs bloatware.
But again it depends on your choice for carrier.

[Q] Galaxy note or Galaxy S2

Am currently using HTC HD2 but now I want to buy a new phone.
Am confused big time between S2 & Note. (bigger phone size is not an issue).
Am looking for good hardware with features. I will be using the phone atleast 3yrs after buying it. It should be worthy like my HD2. Am not impressed with S3 & so its not on my list.
What you guys suggest, or any other phone?

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A

was confused to put in Q&A coz this also tends to be sort of comparison between cellphones

my suggestion just go for nexus, looking at your phone cycle (every 3 years or so . .) nexus will be a right choise youll get direct update from google and always the newest feature. unlocked galaxy nexus is the best choise for now.

but its still not available in india. i searched it on samsung india website but its due to come here

Out of those 2 clear choice the Note.
It's a unique device, still got great development going on. Much more real screen estate, S-Pen, just as good as the SGS2. If size is not an issue get the Note. I've played with it many times and it's lovely, a lot of guys that I have come across I've asked them how they like it and they say they love it.
Again both phones are old now, SGS2 is older so if you plan to use it for 3 years you may see no official updates in the next couple of years but devs will continue to work on them.

does note supports all HD games as well, i hv heard NFS & few games hv trouble on note graphics.
but anyways am looking forward on buying note. thnx

why not a sony?
The S and P Modells are really good.
But well the question was the S2 or Note... I would say the same as nikzDHD take the Note if the size isnt an issue.

If u can wait for the note 2 it will be the best choice :good:

I would recommend galaxy note,it has a bigger screen and it has a s pen

note 2

Note2 ???
When is it launching, haven't heard anything yet about it.

I have a friend who has a note. He said nothing compares to it. Also the screen is a huge transition from any other smartphone BUT it does fit in your pocket
Def recommend the Note because it has great specs and Samsung's UI is very consumer friendly.

Note for sure if it nit to big for you, for me is to big, like tab is..

I agree with what you said, the galaxy S3 seems like the most logical choice. It is running android 4.1 and is the definitely one of the nicest looking and most functional phones out there.

Sony experia s.

LG Optimus 4X HD

Kinda like asking what the best color is, no? It's a very user specific question, every phone has a little something different. But I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 right now and absolutely loving it. So if the S3 is one of only a few choices, I'd go with it. Good luck!

[Q] Exchange old phone with newer model?

hello everybody!
i have a question..
firstly, you must know that i am owner of a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000. I bought it two months ago. now, Samsung has released the new Galaxy Note 2.. And here is my question, Can i exchange my Galaxy Note and some money for a Galaxy Note 2? I googled it and i didnt't found anything, but, on some galaxy note 2 reviews, i see some comments like "I cant wait note 2 go on market, so i exchange my galaxy note n7000 with it!
is that possible? thanks for all and really sorry for my bad english!

question : do you really need a note 2? what this new phone can do for you differently than the old?
phone: sgs2 GT-I9100
kernel : dorimanx 5.79beta
main rom: rr 2.7
second rom: cm 9.1
baseband: I9100XXLQ6

Specs are slightly better but I wouldn't get the note 2 right away, unless it had way better specs.
sent from my captivate glide running ICS (NardROM 0.4 Rooted)

i want the note 2 for quad core and 2gb ram which are far more better than galaxy note 1..i just wanna know if i can exchange mine note for the new !

bump. none has the answer to my question?

Dude why don't you go back to the store and ask it there if you're lucky they'll exchange it but i really think they won't
don't forget to hit the thanks button:d

The problem is that their English is worse than yours. "I cant wait note 2 go on market, so i exchange my galaxy note n7000 with it!" is actually "I cant wait note 2 go on market, so i can sell my galaxy note n7000 and buy the Note 2!"
As a former cellphone store owner, I can tell you that unless you were a very good customer (maybe you'd been upgrading phones with me for 10 years), I wouldn't exchange a phone with you. And if I did you wouldn't like how little I'd give you for yours, even if it's only 2 months old. It's used and I have to sell it as used, so it's not worth very much to me.
Selling it privately will get you a lot more money. (A dealer might give you US$50 for it, and I'd give you that much too. Of course a dealer might tell you he's giving you more for it, but then charge you full list price - or even more - for the Note 2.)

[Q] Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 or Nexus 7

Hello XDA,
I am having a hard time deciding between this Tablet and the Nexus 7. what are your thoughts. How do you like this device? Thanks All in advance.

Already got my Tab 2 on CM10 so the Nexus 7 16gb is not that tempting as a purchase! But if I was in the market to replace, would go for the Nexus 7! But would hold off as word is that the 16gb is being replaced by a 32gb model for the same price! Like the Nexus range! Pure Google! Pure Android! No waiting a year for updates! Looking forward to upgrading my Galaxy Nexus to the new LG Nexus 4! My tab will follow suite if the 32gb rumours are true!

I chose the GTab2 7.0 because I insisted on an external microSD card and wanted the back mounted camera. But the Nexus 7 is, by most accounts, faster with higher resolution and has plain Jelly Bean. All depends on what is important to you. I went to some stores and tried them. I'm happy with what I got.

Not to mention the ability to slip in a 3G sim card and use the GTab2 7.0 (P3100) as a cell phone! That was the deciding factor for me...

I chose the Tab 2 7.0 due to 3G and rear camera. "Pure Google" is less important for me, as the Tab 2 is proving popular enough to have CM10 and AOKP support. (I use AOKP.) My Tab 2 is also my first Android device, so when I get to know Android better, maybe I would go for something higher end or an Android phone. (I got a ThinkPad Tablet after I got the Tab 2, but I'm not sure how good it is since I got it for free, and all I did was power it up and upgrade it from 3.1 to 4.0.3.)
I also bought a 32GB MicroSD card to put in my Tab, but it's still in the packaging since I don't really do a lot of video watching or anything that needs so much memory. :silly:

tab2 7.0
just got tab2 and its far more useful in daily usage than nexus7. that camera and samsung appls makes a huge difference.

Reason #1: N7 isnt available in my country (IN)
But I could buy online for 16-17k INR, instead I got tab 2 for 19.2
Reason #2: 3G!
Makes all the difference in the world.
