[Discussion] What phone do you wish you had? - General Topics

i have always wanted to tear into a Nexus One or a Nexus S i dont care about teh specs
what about you guys? what phone have you always wanted? old or new it doesn't matter.

I really wish I was repping that Nexus 5 (or 4 2013 apparently) or Note 3. Gotta save your pennies!

Definitly the Galaxy Note 3.
I don't want a phone under 5.5 inches and without pen anymore.
I would love to see the Note 3 with 6.3 inches (like the Mega) cause I really love this size for a display but this didn't happend at all.
So I've to wait for Note 4 or Note 5 or Note 6 (every year 0.2 inches more since the first Note)

I would like to have a Galaxy s4! But it costs too much for me, so I'm going to keep my s2

from the 2 to the 4 its a big jump, even though they say its outdated, why not try a s3?

Yeah the S3 is still a great phone. It can run anything smooth.

I'm so excited to own an Sony Xperia Z ultra, but Z1 also looks good.

I would like a phone with great specs and a "small" screen:
Something like a Snapdragon 600 or 800 processor, or A9.
At least 1GB of RAM, the more the better.
At least 8GB, better 16GB of internal storage.
And a screen of 4.3", no more. I think a great resolution is 1280 x 720. I don't think a better resolution (1080p) worths it.
And a metallic cover (no more plastic, please).
In top of that, I'm short on cash, so I need a phone which isn't very expensive.
Impossible, I think.

Good

i wish i had samsung galaxy s2......bcoz dis phn has got plenty of development......

Wish I had a Star Trek communicator but meanwhile, I'll settle for an Android Moto X with
external Memory, 5 inch screen and at least 3 Gig/ram.

I wish I had a nexus 5, or a nexus 4

I would have loved to have owned the Nokia N900. Looking back at it meego didn't really take off, but I would have liked to have tried it for myself.

I don't notice any pixelation at all and I came from a Sensation. Going any closer than like 5" to any screen just gives me a headache. I wouldn't trade this display for anything. Honestly, the tiny icons on higher res screens bug the **** out of me. Nothing seems noticeably crisper, just smaller.

Lol. Sure the NS has higher pixel density but it will definitely lag behind in terms of GPU performance, especially because of the huge resolution, which is imho totally out of place in a phone. The GS2 with its good amount of subpixels looks pretty good, and the screen is still huge so high resolution isn't really needed. I'm also quite sure that battery life will be worse on the NS: if ICS uses the gpu properly then the overclocked 540 of this phone will eat it all real quick having to push all those pixels

HTC: Rumored Nexus 5 based on DLX: J Butterfly, DNA, Butterfly

GSM Arena is reporting this is being developed based on the DROID Incredible X (pictured below) & will be one of the five new Nexus (named for its 5 inch screen) devices coming this fall
The device is said to be running Android 4.1.2 — which includes bug fixes, Project Butter improvements, additional lock screen functionality and other tweaks — and is said to be equipped with a 5-inch 1080p full HD display and a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor. The company’s first phablet will also feature “a super slim design” and a large 2,500 mAh battery, 4G LTE connectivity, up to 64GB of internal storage and a 12-megapixel rear camera.
Based on this Verizon variant [DNA]: 1080p (1794 x 1080) quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 4G LTE, Sense 5 and HTC Scribe active pen support (to compete w/Note II) but will come w/only 16gb & no microSD card slot or removable battery
DLX: DROID Incredible X also being referred to as One X5

Only 16Gb and no SD on Verizon, boo. Otherwise this looks sick, would also prefer a bigger battery too, upwards of 3100 mAH
I would buy the Nexus 5 by HTC, it looks so sexy!
If its pricing is as good as the Nexus 7 then maybe
Looks pretty nice, honestly wondered how long it'd be before HTC released a Note competitor. Do admit I have a soft spot for HTC's design, let's hope it looses the Beats branding as a Nexus device though
I really doubt the phone in those photos will be a "Nexus". (it has soft buttons)
Still, it would be nice a Nexus with that resolutions

nothing about that phone is nexus from what I see. htc one x 5 does not have the nexus name in it. isn't that clock widget part of htc sense? and that app drawer button doesn't look right. this isn't a nexus. and besides, even if it is ... I will NEVER buy from verizon. isn't the galaxy nexus on Verizon still waiting for jelly bean? the Verizon galaxy nexus isn't a real nexus IMO. GSM unlocked phones all the way ...

Has there been a rumored launch time frame from anyone? Q4 2012? Q1 or Q2 2013? I was looking at getting a SGNII but then I saw the rumored specs on this bad mammajamma and it was the first device that made me second guess the Note II. I really like htc designs and would love this on Sprint with unlimited data! My full upgrade has been available since April and I have just been waiting on the "right" device.
I don't think this phone is gonna be the next htc nexus. I expect a htc nexus with soft keys.

I vote for HTC Desire. For it's massive choice of ROMs. And it's still running great with ICS. :good:
HTC Desire Bravo ftw. Almost 2 years on this device and it still stands up to my expectations.

Google Nexus One. Thanks to Cyanogenmod the phone always stayed up to date software wise. Even CM10, though not officially supported, is being ported by some nice fellows to my great phone. I already consider upgrading, since the displays and the raw CPU power of newer multi-core phones (other people have) makes me jealous sometimes. But in smart phone timescale, my Nexus One had a long life and served me well.

Its basically your preference. Both are great devices, its either you want a phablet which you use with two hands or a smartphone you use with one. If your going for an everyday use kind of phone i'd go with the s4. But like the above poster said if you want a phablet just hold off for another month and get the note 3. But if your on an american carrier which I don't think you are then the bootloader would be locked on all the new devices coming out.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
I would go for the note if you want gaming , s4 gets hot very fast up to 44c while note never goes above 35c in asphalt 8, also battery lasts longer in gaming with note 2 , only bad thing is note has little bit of micro lag in response @ max details vs s4. Note 3 would be best solution fir gaming or one max when they get out.
In less than a month note 3 will be out ... i think if u are going to buy now it's worth to wait maybe see the first reviews of it and then buy ...
But generally in gaming bigger screen and battery is a big plus ... also if hardware/software optimization is done right this time by samsung the phone will not overheat ... at least not that much as the s4

You talking about 44c battery or cpu?
Sent from my :tank:
I don't play games on my mobile, but if I did I would go for Note 2. As I have used it for more than 7 months, I can concur that it was an amazing device. It was smooth, fast and didn't get as hot as my S4. I sold it and bought S4 for only one reason, size. It was way too big for me. I love the overall size of S4. But it stutters more than Note 2, especially I miss the fantastic stock browser of Note 2, the stock browser on S4 is next to horrible. God knows what Samsung have done!
Anyway, I am happy that I bought S4 and sold Note 2, I don't regret my decision a tiny bit, but if someone is happy or comfortable with the size of Note 2 then I see no reason to buy S4 over it.

Nexus 5 users - any regrets ?

Hi All
I'm actually planning to buy 32gigs white version but I'm sort of confused. I also like the z1 compact.
So please everyone post your opinions and regrets (If any).
Thanks.

I have the 32GB white version and don´t have any regrets at all. This phone is very solid for the cheap price
I am nexus...er, ...nexusian? Nexian? idk, im forever bought into its ecosystem. Google owns me basically, nexus lines is jsut what i look for in a phone, simplicity, no flashy flashy, no competition and key/relevant features. Im never going back to another phone after the nexus 4/5, its a no regret phone for me.

Search the forums and decide for yourself.. After all you are in the Nexus 5 forums so most probably everyone's opinion would be biased.
Here is a topic you might consider reading: Would You Guys Still Recommend the Nexus 5?
That being said, Personally I don't have any regrets buying this phone as it's DEVELOPMENT friendly
If you every conside the z1 compact, then you may not suitable to get a Nexus device. Conside that the nexus line are talk about baseline android experience, which other device give you a more complete package with add on from the manufacturer.
32gb bright red with no regrets!
It's not a perfect phone, but I never had any doubts or regrets buying it. Happy owner of white 32GB version
My only regret is not buying the red version, but who would have saw that coming on launch day?

not true, unless youre just an inexperienced user that knows nothing about setting up your own phone and taking care of it. no bugs here, camera works perfectly(and is an awesome camera). and battery life is great, i get 5-6 hours screen on time without doing anything to try to get better battery life.
No regrets. I'm quite pleased with this device. Looks good and functions well.

Bought this phone by virtue of my HTC One had to be sent for repairs.
After about a week of usage think I'll be selling of my One once it comes back.
Amazed by the simplicity of the stock android albeit I miss some of the apps and UI of the HTC but most can be downloaded from the Store. The Nexus is snappier and much smoother and fluid.
Battery is better on the Nexus,I'm impressed. Camera too is better especially in low light conditions. What I miss most is the frontal speakers of the One with Boom base..compared to the puny speakers on the Nexus 5..but I guess we can't have it all..so in conclusion.. no regrets!

Absolutely not , no regrets at all. I am a proud owner of this beast.
poor battery
I don'r regret at all. I bought 16GB black version of it,because 32GB version wasn't being sold then,but it's absolutely doesn't make me any problem because I don't play HD games that requires a lot of free space at all,and now i'm having 8.80GB free.:good:
If about battery it's would the weakest Nexus 5 point but I can live with that because I'm enjoying on using my Nexus 5 everyday and still can't get enough of it,because it's amazing! :good:
