I feel disappointed to know the HTC ONE has won the best smartphone for the year 2013? How? why? and more-over LG won the most innovative brand of the year! Com'on this shouldn't be true!
Don't you think this is unfair to Galaxy S4 and Note 3 users out there???? They were the 2 best smartphones of 2013!
Please express your opinions!

HTC One is arguably a better/more innovative phone than the S4; headphone amp, ultra pixel camera, blink feed, stereo speakers, etc. The S4 just has a smaller bezel, exchangeable battery and microSD slot. Cannot say much about the Note 3 as I don't own one, but I doubt there were that many changes compared to the Note 2.

That´s no surprise... The HTC is more or less acclaimed generally by everyone. For me as a s4 user the only thing that feels better then the one is the bigger screen and sd slot, on the other hand, the HTC beats the s4 fast everywhere like quality construction, sound, design and also camera. That´s no scandal.
LG wise the G2 is a great device with awesome battery times (more then N3) and also they came out with great features and build quality. I don´t see any scandal in that.

From experience I can tell you most but not all of the Chinese knockoffs are heavier and not as good build quality. Also I have always had problems with their capacitive touch screens. Call quality is decent depending on the phone, And it will be real android but good luck finding any dev support for it. Not trying to tell you which to get just trying to give you the facts of my personal experience.
w8 for these type of phones from china

The Samsung "R" is considered a cheaper version of the S2. It is probably better to get a used S2. The Magic was released two years ago, so a used Galaxy S or S2 would be a better idea. The "R" also has a bigger screen.
China phones are known to be cheaper in quality. Your money, so far, is used better elsewhere. Good luck !
i dont want to spent a lot of money for a smartphone so it will be a cheap normal phone or a china phone.
Could someone tell me more about the performance of china phones?
yours sincerely
ps: thanks so far for your replys
Many of the world's mobile phones are manufactured in China, quality is good, if it is China's domestic mobile phone is more limited, but the quality of foreign trade and price are guaranteed
You need to look for phones that have these names: Lenovo, Zopo, THL, ZTE, Meizu, and Huawei. They have good quality. Check out this site for some of the phone models mentioned and some reviews of China phones: China Phone Review
"Air Phone" vs "iPhone"
I wouldn't be in a hurry to buy one.
I cannot supply the following URL as I am a junior menmber; and very annoyingly I am NOT even allowed to thank people... (serioulsy)
"Youtube" then type the following "/watch?v=TUT39op2Pp8"
I did consider getting the "Air Phone 4" (See above) fortunately this review saved me the money. I'd be looking for a secondhand UK Android smartphone.
That said it is usually the data that is the expensive part; so I would be more concerned by the tarriff.
(HTC Rooted Sensation - ICS - Very happy with the HTC - I wouldn't now buy the iphone by choice)

Just followed your link - your chosen phone was £105.
According to Play.com (i'm sure they can be beaten on price)
HTC Explorer £100
HTC Wildfire £150
I would rather have an HTC rather than a random cheap deal.
For the best deal you do need to factor in calls/data/texts, say over 24 months usage.
I dont know about a phone, but I got my tablet from there and have had zero issues with it. Got the Novo 7 Aurora and I love it.
Hi, over the past few weeks I've been debating and debating whether to sell my iPhone or not, from constant scratches, to unsupported accessories, to out of sync flash, to sh*t maps... the list goes on!
So I took the plunge today and finally sold it on eBay, making myself the money I paid for it!
The question is, where do I go from here?
I've been looking at these phones in particular
Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC One X, HTC One X plus, HTC 8X and Nokia 920
Now I know you might say that it's all down to personal experience, but what phone would you guys prefer? I don't mind waiting a few weeks (3 max).
I use a HTC Mozart as a 'backup' phone which is very bad in my opinion, so that steers me away from Windows 8!
The reason I'm not buying GS3 straight away is due to the fact I really like getting updates ASAP and I understand the JB update isn't available yet.
Please post your opinions !

Sir, great and here is thread for your topic, should help...Thank You and Thread Closed

Hey guys. Over the last few weeks i've been debating over whether i should buy myself an S4 or HTC One. They're both awesome phones, which is making it all the harder for me to decide which one to get. So i decided to ask which one you guys would suggest.
I would mainly use the phone for heavy internet browsing and listening to music.
Also I will most likely put a custom rom on the phone so I dont really care about what software features it has.
Over here in Australia the HTC One costs $750 whereas the octa core galaxy S4 costs $699.
If you suggest a phone make sure to let me know why it's better than the other one.
Not sure what to buy next?

$750 is ridiculous for the nexus 4 when it really should cost $300. Can you buy it in eBay from us seller? At that price difference definitely Samsung or the n new HTC. Newer more advanced phone, cheaper.
I replied in the official thread, but wanted to let you know that im not talking about the nexus 4, im talking about the Samsung galaxy s4 and the HTC One
HTC One is much cheaper you can get is for about $720 (second hand on eBay probably costs ~$500) and the quality that you get is pretty good. For example if you compare the quality of the pictures taken with both HTC One and Galaxy S4 there are almost no difference. However, if you are looking for a long battery life definitely S4 is better but more expensive though.
If I were you I would buy the HTC then use it for a couple of months and then buy another new phone
1st theres like a million of these threads. Second:

Third:
Go visit the s4 forums.
Then visit the htc one /m7 forums.
Use your new found knowledge to make a yoda like decision.
And now:

Since this has been asked in the "official" thread, I am going to close this one...
This looks really awesome for us M8 users!

I think this is an awesome strategy for HTC to gain more users and keep them. The question is, can I use that $100 towards the cost of a subsidized phone purchase through Verizon?

Sadly, it only applies to M8s bought after April 10, 2015.

Ah, man...
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
I'm switching from my Sony Z3 Compact to something a bit more new, and I was looking for your advices, not only on the model as such, but on the different price tags I can have.
My service provider (SFR in France) proposes the Galaxy S8+ at 392€ (450$) or the Xperia XZ Premium at 193€ (219$) all included (no more charges on the subscription or whatsoever).
However I'm a really huge fan of the One Plus new flagships (3T and 5) but they don't have it.
In my country, reminder, the 3T is at 380€ (64go) or 420€ (128go) (both respectively 433$ and 480$)
and the 5 is at 440€ (6go RAM 64go) or 520€ (8go RAM 128go) (both respectively at 500$ and 590$)
So basically (+tl;dr) is my beloved One Plus 5 worth the extra 130€ compared to the S8+ ?
Or is my beloved One Plus 3T worth the extra 30€ compared to the S8+ ?
Or should I settle to the Galaxy S8+ even if it's not my brand nor predilection model ?
Thanks a lot for your future answers !
On the question "why am I such a fan of One Plus ?" well I like their OS, their batteries and camera, and on top of all their design and the brand's image and trust I have in them !
Thanks again !
