Upgrade advice from Infuse

Hi
I am planning to to little upgrade the phone. (Sadly Google Nexus 4 is not avalable on the playstore and being sold on ebay at high price. )
I have shorlisted other phones as under:
Galaxy Nexus I9250
Sony Xperia S
LG Optimus L9
Galaxy S2 Skyrocket i727
My requirements will be Good visual quality screen & multimedia performance (im not hardcore gamer) Dual core processor, 1 GB RAM and Andriod 4 OS.
A comparasion chart has also been prepared for help.
please give valuable feedback for the purchase

Hi Aeonit,
I would put them in this order based on what you are wanting... just me
Nexus
Optimus
Skyrocket
Xperia
If you sometimes like to use a darker theme it will save battery on the first three but not on the xperia (LED). Think all your choices are good !

Xperia s has best specs.

I would wait for Nexus 4... I got it and it is a massive improvement on my infuse... Love love love it...
1.5 ghz snapdragon S4 pro. Best in class gpu...
There is a TON of development on this phone already and LTE support is just starting to be added (yes... LTE can be enabled) we even have Franco actively developing as well as Paranoid Android creator.
Official CM.. Official TWRP.. Official CWM.. Etc. :thumbup:

The first two have no extra external memory card capability?
I would avoid that. The 16GB or 32GB built in might seem like plenty now, but in a year or two...

I'm not sure... I don't store music on my phone, nor videos. I stream it all. All personal preference I guess

Go with nexus is the "best" Google has to offer

Nexus 4 got even better! They found a 4G chip inside, and it can be activated to use LTE on band 4 for now. People are working on activating other bands as well.

[Q] Best low-priced Android phone?

Hey guys
I could need some suggestions, which new phone (Android ofc) I should buy.
The price group is between 200-300€ and the phone has to have a dual-core processor and minimum 500mba of ram.A good screen resolution is preferred too
My favorite at the moment:
LG optimus L7 II
Price: 249€ *-*
Processor: Dual-core 1Ghz
Ram: 780mb
Screen: 4.3 inch with 800x480 resolution (~214ppi)
Android: 4.1.2 with LG UI
Full phone specifications: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_l7_p700-4565.php
This phone seems to be the best for its price.
Anyone knows a better one maybe?
Don't want to buy it and then find out that there's a better one for same price ^^
And another important question:
Do you think this phone will have developer support?
Thanks in advance

Nexus 4 8Gb 300€
There is nothing comparable

It's sold out almost everywhere here in Germany and if someone has it on stock the price is about 350€ for the 8gb version :/
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app

Instead of optimus l7 try l9.
Most better than ur favorite one...
But quite costly than l7.
Just google it....:thumbup::thumbup:

l7
I'd say l7 is a great choice for your price range.

Galaxy S2! (International version)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Just for price matter its not good choose bad mobile(not l7) right?

The HTC first which come with facebook home is a great deal as FB home can be switched off and your left with stock android

LOL. This phone has the SAME specs as the upcoming BLU Life View. Price is around there too.
It's a shame to hear that the phone I was going to buy is a cheap chinese phone.

The Nexus 4 is always a great deal.

I'd recommend a Nexus4; solid phone; affordable price

Is it out yet? x( Can't wait to lap one up, along with a Class10 64Gb card.....MONSTER KILL!!/GODLIKE!

Its good to see that HTC put a micro sd slot in this device. Im some sort of sick of flagship phones that dont have it but just offer you 16gb of internal storage. Specs wise it also looks incredible but unfortunately I dont like the look and feel of their sense ui at all. Im more of a stock or touchwiz guy

i think butterfly S would be awesome..
the cons is they still use the 4ultrapixel camera, it's no good on detail.

Looks like a good speced phone over all and if the butterfly was anything to go by this phone will be awesome.

Xperia z1 or Note 3??

Xperia z1 and note 3 are both officially debut. With the spec confirmed, which you guys will go for it? Or definitely get both??
20mp camera n flash on xperia z1 is awesome.
3gb ram and leathered back on note 3 is awesome too.

I'm waiting on the reviews before jumping on either.
While the Z1 is great I can't help but feel a little disappointed. No OIS, no Xenon, huge bezels. And if the video play back is really a mere 6.6 hours as Sony themselves are claiming, one then has to ask how long will you be able to browse for? Cause that's pretty weak.
Still, I'm gonna wait until I see some objective reviews before deciding on either. And there's always the One Max right around the corner too.

Xperia z1 is really nice im looking more into that phone over the note 3. Note 3 specs sounds good im just dissapointed by the hardware they couldve really been innovative. I like the xpreria hardware ..note 3 specs are great but who really needs 3gb of ram i had the note 2 and it was fine with 2g of ram and the 1.5 processor
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

i vote for z1, is more smart, screen seems best, and build quality is best too. galaxy have s-pen and 3gb of ram.

Definitely the Note 3! The best is getting even better!

The same thing was said about the 2gb of ram, and also when 1gb devices came out etc...
Plus the ram on the note 3 is fully used as shown in some hands on , leaving just 200mb of free space when multiwindow and pop up apps were used.

thanks guys, the same day I posted my doubts I had already bought the nexus 4!
really is a good phone, I can say that the nexus 5 not wait worthwhile, because with 2GB memory the nexus 4 will last a long time.
i believe it nexus 5, only have snapgron 800 and a camera maybe better. screen size to me does not make much difference.
thanks again guys !!!
