[Q] Replacement for my Nexus 4? - General Questions and Answers

The area that I live in has recently gotten 4G so I'm looking to replace my Nexus 4 with a new phone.
First I'll tell you my main complaints with the Nexus 4:
Battery Life
No SD slot (only have the 16GB, I have 29GB of music on my PC)
Camera isn't great
Poor audio quality through headphones
I was pretty much set on the Nexus 5, seemed like the most logical upgrade, but living in Australia it is $469 for the 32GB model.
But checking an online retailer in Australia I found these phone:
Sony Xperia ZR 4G - $379
LG Optimus G Pro E988 4G - $389 (I owned the Note 2 before my N4, but I don't know if I like the bigger screen size... or the plastic)
Sony Xperia Z 4G - $439
Samsung Galaxy S4 Active 4G - $479
LG G2 D802 4G - $509 (I'm correct that the G2 lacks an SD card right? What does it offer over the N5?)
Any phones that I got I'd flash a vanilla version of Android or CM or something, can't stand stuff like Touchwiz after my Nexus.

[Q] Best android phone?

Hi,
Regarding battery life and reliability on voice calls and SMSs, which is the best Android phone we can buy nowadays?
Regards
sam sung Infuse 4G, my first choice
as of now in the U.S. @ least i would argueably say the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G on Sprint or the AT&T variant are the best in the states. I say the sprint version is better because, i hate AT&T and essentially they are the same phone but i would go with Sprint before AT&T
Nexus S is a pretty nice phone. Id wait for the Nexus Prime though, its bound to be good.
I agree, I would say the upcoming Nexus Prime looks real nice
The battery life is **** on all devices, with internet permanently on and heavy usage you can exspect about a day.
With internet off you can get 3+ days.
The galaxy S II is the best one for now.
try an evo 4g or 3D
Best one i know with quality/price relation is ideos x5 .although the camera is not that good , but for the price its unbeatable.
Top 10 Android Phones
1.Samsung Epic Touch 4G
2.HTC EVO 3D
3.HTC Sensation 4G
4.T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide
5.Samsung Charge
6.Motorola Droid Bionic
7.HTC ThunderBolt
8.T-Mobile G2x (with Google)
9.Motorola Atrix 4G (AT&T)
10.Motorola Photon 4G
Just for reference.
I really like my Sony Xperia Pro
Nexus Prime is quite good.
Samsung Galaxy S-III is soon to be released. Galaxy S III will come with a dual-core 1.8GHz Exynos 4212 processor along with 2GB of RAM. The smartphone will feature a 4.6-inch Super AMOLED Plus HD display.Moreover, the Samsung Galaxy S III will have a 12MP camera.
.Totally subjective but I think the Galaxy S II is the best phone on the market right now. Though the Nexus Prime and S III is coming if you want to wait

Opinions on my next sprint phone

So I have been flashing roms since the days of my tmo dash and now I have a sprint nexus s. I have had my upgrade for a while now and am holding out for quadcore snapdragon. Supposedly it will debut with the LG Eclipse in October (along with LTE finally in NYC)
My question is should I jump at the LG or wait for HTC or Samsung to release their beasts? I'd be highly upset if there is little to so support for my next choice as I have been lucky with my touch pro, evo, and nexus.
Btw, my current gripes with choices now are:
EVO LTE- no removable battery and SD slot limit to 32 gb and stuck with only 3g
S3- no shutter button, lense not as good as evo, not a fan of touchwiz, cheap overall feel, stuck with 3g
Thanks for reading and please opinions. If this is posted in the wrong section my apologies.

{Discussion} Torn between a HDC s4 or a moto G

My galaxy nexus radio problems and sprints terrible service in my area have made me decide that I need a change. I am looking to move to an AT&T prepaid service. My price limit is $200. I would like to have a phone that has removable batteries which the cloned s4 has. I like the size and design of the s4 better than the 4.5" moto g. The factors that are holding me back from the s4 is the lack of reviews on it. If its reliable stock or rooted, I would probably go with that. The reason the Moto G is in the running is that it will be at my door in 2 days and I know if I have any issues, I can call motorola as opposed to trying to deal with some chinese seller. The lack of reviews for the cloned s4 have me up in the air. There are threads here for the S4 but no real reviews. Can any owners comment on how they like using/owning the device?
THanks!!
I don't own it yet but i don't think you will be able to use 3g on att because of the frequency bands. You should check yourself but I think t mobile 3g will work.

[Q] Should I buy a Moto G or Galaxy S3 for T-Mobile?

I'm on T-mobile and have used the LG G2x for quite a long time now and it really sucks even after trying out so many different roms including CM7. I can't afford something great like the S5 so the Moto G and S3 (a refurbished one from eBay) seem like decent choices for me. I know the Moto G is newer and might be getting the Android L update so it seems like a greater choice. Plus I would be ordering it from Motorola's site and getting the 4G LTE version with the microSD slot for about $219. The refurbished S3 on eBay is $224. I'd just like to know which seems like the better deal, pros and cons, and good support for rooting. Alternate phone suggestions are also welcome. Thanks
