Thanks..and about htc one (m8 ) do you know if its a good phone?

They are all great phones, it honestly depends on what you are looking for the most, i imagine all of them have amazing cameras, they all try to aim for that, probably the phone with the best camera would be a HTC m8 or lg g3, the g3 is supposed to shoot 2k pictures/videos but im not quite sure, the g3 is supposed to have a superb Screen, not that the other phones wouldn't have great screens but the G3 has a 2k resolution screen which must be nice. the xperia z3 is coming out (or is already out) so i would get that over a z2, Sony phones have waterproof coating and are made for durability, i dont know much on the z3 since its a little newer you would have to do research on that, if its performance you want either a m8 or a Galaxy s5 would be perfect. anyways, thats all i have to say about the devices, if you have any questions please reply back!

all you say it was very useful...so i decide tha the best option is lg g3..but i am confused.i never have buy any iphone,i always have galaxy but the loose their price very fast as lg.on the other hand with iphone you don't have this problem and if you can sell it you can achieve a high price.So now I wondered between iphone 5s and lg g3 which is better?
you what will choose? thanks a lot

the reason why iphones sorta keep their price is because you are paying for "Premium" Design basically from the Greedy people at apple, think of macbooks vs pcs, macbooks are going to be more because they are one of a kind, there are lots of different windows computers that you might or might not like, so iphones are one of a kind and are not in huge bulk as android is.

Need help choosing a phone!!!

Hey guys,
I'm really stuck in deciding what to buy! I want to buy two android phones & here's the problem:
First one, I'm stuck between HTC Hero & HTC Magic, their hardware look same only difference is camera which I think is not that impressive in any of them! I've heard that Magic rooting procedure is way too dangerous! It may brick the phone easily! So isn't there a safe approach? Which one do you think is a better choice?
Second phone is somehow harder to choose! Don't know what to choose: X10 or Nexus One or Galaxy S! I really like to have a big screen since I want to watch movies on it while on the move. Also updating the OS & having new apps is important for me! I really like the specs of Galaxy S but no LED flash usually means no camera! I have heard Samsung does not care about support & software updates... If only HTC Evo was GSM compatible! It really looks perfect & just like what I need! What do you think? Which one's better in your experience? Do you think I have to wait for a better phone since I haven't seen any good GSM android under development!
Thanks in advance everyone!
BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody cares to say what would they choose?
Go for the Nexus One. I have one and it´s the best buy ever. (And I have always been a Nokia supporter) Forget about the X10, my colleague has bought one and must admit that it was a wrong decision. I have no knowledge of the Samsung phone, it could be ok, but who knows...? I have even purchased a used Iphone just to compare, (and to install Android on it of course), and the Apple device is nice, but not as nice as Nexus One.
You will never regret that you bought the Nexus One.
I'd agree with the above poster and go for the Nexus One... played with a mates one and its fantastic, and being Google made its gonna be kept well updated!
If Android were the only one OS in the world I would choose EVO or tmob 3g slide
Thanks its not
It's a shame there's no Evo on GSM network! Thanks guys, any experience from Galaxy S owners is appreciated!
Do NOT forget the X10, especially since it has been rooted. Look into it more.
How about HTC Desire? Which one is better, Nexus One or Desire?

[Q] new phone advice?

hi guys n girls
looking at getting a new phone tomorrow and just wondering what u guys would recomend
ive been looking at the htc evo 3d
the galaxy s 2
and the galaxy note
really not interested in an iphone though as i hate apple
any advice would be greatly recieved,
many thanks
steve
ps current phone is the galaxy s 1
I have an Evo 3D and enjoy it, the Galaxy 2 is excellent as well. The Note is not in the US yet, but I plan on getting one soon. AT&T looks like they will have it first, though I somewhat prefer Verizon.
At the end of the day there are a lot of good phones, it depends on what the carrier has. I could go either way on AT&T and Verizon, so I'll probably go with whoever get's the Note/Journal first.
galaxy s2 if u want good performance and nice phone
Hi Steve,
Well you said it all by saying the names of the candidates. I wouldn't get the HTC because either SGS2 and Note have a really good performance (better than HTC Evo 3D i'd say), also i've known HTCs for having bad camera performances..
I have the SGS2 and it's just amazing, i love how smooth and fast it is.
If you want a bigger screen then you know the Note is for you, you can also use it to make drawings and stuff like that if you're creative or in the other way around, if you want 3D, the HTC is your phone.
In my opinion i'd get the SGS2, i don't really like HTC phones because of their UI and not really good performances overall.
EDIT: also, the SGS2's camera is really good imo, i love its quality and the videos are stunning as well. Don't forget how thin and light it is!
Good luck on your decission
Galaxy note is better if you like a big screen
thanks for the replies,
just thought are there any other phones (uk market) that anyone would recomend over these
i do like the idea of a large screen and also like the idea of 3d photos
y do they make it so hard to choose now lol
cheers
steve
Lol yeah, you could check LG phones or Sony Ericsson Experia (or future Sony only Experia), but i don't recommend LG because of their bad SO update reputation
There's a lot to choose, but my suggestion is the SGS2 or Note.
Depends on your price. I had a galaxy s 2. But the forums were full of idiots and noob questions. Plus being honest what the hell is the point in all that power when battery isn't the best.
Anyhow Bought a nexus s unlocked from cpw for 199 and put the extra 150 towards a holiday. And now I have a gorgeous looking phone with a great community behind it. And great support from Google. No UI over the the phone. So despite not being dual core. Its fast.
And don't even start about quadrant!!!!!! Lol

forgot to mention my budget , i can get any phone i wish on contract over here for free so money is no issue
Wait for those A15 cores!
I love HTC products, but of that list the G SII is the best choice... in my opinion.
I'm assuming you're on Sprint?

Help decide which phone i should get

Hello!
Been using tutorials on this for a long time and they have always helped, but now i need help for choosing the phone.
I cant decide between LG 4X HD, Sony Xperia T, and HTC One s.Spec wise, the best i s 4X, however i`ve heard it has crappy os, and bad gaming perfomance (On that beast you cant play?), Xperia T looks beautiful, and camera sounds awesome..but its ''only'' dual core..and than comes the One S, and about that i dont know anything..
Im leaning towards the 4X, becouse the big screen, awesome specs, and quite good design.
But which phone i should actually get?Im my country, those 3 are going for the same price (around 370usd)..
Also, are there any phone that costs less then 400usd (I really dont want to go over that..) and that would get android 4.3 upgrade? (Dreaming about 5.0 update would by stupid in this budget, right?)

HY, lets take it like this.
HTC ONE S- pro:good design,good camera,so-so performance,screen is not that accurate
-cons:it will never be updated ,because htc said so,and battery is not that good
RESULT :if you can buy this ,you do it because of the design,camera,and you can root the thing to get sense 5
4X HD; as it says the pros are:good screen,good gaming performance,sexy design,good battery,good price
;cons: the os will never be updated,the camera sucks
result ,buy it if you like performance,but not taking pics to hot chicks
XPERIA T pro design,interface,battery
cons ,you might not like the interface,camera,etc....
result BUY THE 4X HD!!!!,AND LET THE FORCE BE WITH YOU !!,ALSO PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED

i have lg 4x... its cool but battery isnt good enough... the stock update never necessary it has CyanogenMoh 10.1 android 4.2.2 better than stock.
i think 4x is better in this list,
First, sorry for making new topic, instead of posting in device suggestion thread..somehow didnt notice it.
Aniway, for the Cyanogen mod..Wont that ruin my warranty?I`ve read in LG 4X thread that its ''official''..but is it official in Europe aswell?
If you want a good phone (not really high-end anymore at this time, but stil pretty good) and you don't want to spend more than 400 and you would like very fast Android updates (even probably 5.0), you should take a nexus 4.
I have one, and it works like a charm (except the camera, which is good enough, but nothing more than that).
The Nexus 4 has even a little higher specs than the 4X HD, but it's even cheaper than the 4X HD.
If you have any more questions, feel free to aks.
Well, ive looked at Nexus 4 previously, but in my country its ~450..funny thing is that, i can get nexus 7 tablet for 400 in the same shop.
380 already feels a lot, since most likely i will get new phone after 2 years.
And bi the way..Any of those 3 is beast in my opinion..im upgrading from Huawei sonic (3.5inch, 600mhz, 256mb ram, 256 rom, and i wouldnt say it was laggy)

really? you would suggest that?
I would suggest trying for an S4, since it still have an IR Blaster, which sometime makes it a universal remote for tv, and if you tweak it properly, it can also be an excellent remote.
However, it really up to your preferences. if you're already settled on one, just pick it instead of asking other to make the choice. it what i do.
just figure out which phone you like, what you like about it, research it, and make your decision. but if you've already decided on one, go for it.
and please, he asked opinion on the phone the OP want. not wat we should suggest which phone HE should buy.
Haha no it was a joke. I think S4 is probably the best phone out especially rooted and rom'd

LG G3 vs. Galaxy S5-which one to get?

I am torn with this upgrade choice. I'm lookin forward to both phones but IDK whether the S5 or the G3 is the better choice.
BG: I've had a Galaxy S3 since shortly after launch, and I do like how easily one can find accessories, it has enterprise ability should I get the right job, and nearly all major apps work on their devices. But I cannot stand BloatWiz I mean TouchWiz, its terrible battery life, lame and useless apps which eat up space. Also, the S5 will not have 2k screen or 8-core in the US. I like a lotta LG's new stuff, even its UI is way better than BloatWiz. The G3 is also gonna have 2K and an octacore here which makes it appeal to me. But I hear that its cpu will therefore be proprietary, n IDK how good that is. Also IDK how they are on OTAs.
Which one should I get? Which one will you get?

[Q] What Phone to get (T-Mobile)

I am at a standstill for getting a new phone on TMobile service. May sound stupid but I am.
here are my ideas Nexus 5, HTC ONE M8, LG G3
I hate and tired of Samsung! although I have had a few lol
I have owned the HTC EVO 4G, Desire, Samsung Gs2,3,4, Motorola Atrix 4G...
Here are my gripes lol
I am on the stage a lot, and in live music scene and I have never had a phone that records live music so awesome like the old Atrix. Wish I could get a new phone that would do the same or some app that would help. ok there's that gripe No Samsung or HTC has ever done this without it being a bunch of static. Atrix has some kind of compressor or something when recording.
I am sure I will have to go into the new phone world without having the live recording down
TMOBILE: Nexus 5, HTC ONE M8, LG G3
Can anyone sway me on which of these 3 phones to choose from? I just need more confirmation lol
I seriously need help haahaa... with that said I still want to be able to root/rom all that good stuff.
Wouldn't it be best to have removable battery and sd card be best?
I would like to be able to take decent pictures, and videos. You don't have to be able to see a mite on a ticks ass, but helps.
I want to have a good experience, with lots of support so I do not get bored with the phone, and so on. (I know LG G3 hasn't come out yet to really have much support)
I have always been a fan of HTC for some reason, but always ended up with Samsung cause HTC been lacking for a while. I have read lots of good reviews on the m8 and the new g3 coming out. Many mixed reviews for Nexus 5.
But that is why I came here!
The place I know I will not get a regular common answer/review. Thank you all in advance for your help swaying me
or any other phone
Also any other phone can be placed into the equation...or should I say no to that since i can't make up my mind already lol
