[Q] Which latest android phone to get ? - General Questions and Answers

Hi brothers, I am currently using Galaxy Note 2 and I cant play all the latest games smoothly. For example Asphalt 8 lags a little etc. Now, I wanna buy a phone that I will be able to play all the latest and upcoming games smoothly. Budget is not a factor. Currently looking for performance and my money should be worth the spent, hence asking you all.
Also resolution must be 1440 x 2560 .
So, which phone should I get ? and which phone do you use yourself ?

Get a nexus 6

Buy the LG G3, Note 4 or HTC M8
I consider Note 4, since it has the latest GPU. The display is phenomenal and there is an SD Card too. Internal Memory is no problem here.Hit thanks if helped

Tab 2 7.0 vs Tab 7 Plus

As title states, which one is better, at same price?
(Nexus 7 is out of the question, because I need expandable storage.)

Expandable storage doesn't mean much on the Tab. The sd card is only good for music and movies....unless it is rooted.

I would say the tab 2 is a better bet than tab plus.I compared the two the day I got mine.The tab plus comes stock clocked at 1.2ghz i believe with tab 2 at 1.0 but tab 2 comes with ics installed and just felt smoother overall.It obviously didnt do as well in benchmarks due to lower clock speed but performed better in overall experience i think.Plus you can get a kernel that supports oc.I have mine at 1.38 and now it destroys tab plus in feel and benchmarks.Also idk if you are planning on rooting(dont really know why you would be on xda if you werent...lol) but gtab 2 has way more development and prob still more to come.Hope this helped a little.
Amen gtab2 all day

Get the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 if you like Touchwiz and want a Micro SD card slot and a rear facing camera. Buy the Nexus if you want a quad core processor, fast Android updates, 12 core graphics, and a 1280x800 display.
The galaxy tab has longer battery life, standby , external memorry card support, as well as GLONASS (Russian gps network) ontop of GPS , The Nexus is just more powerfull (no bells or wistles,or memory expansion-unless you root- and GPS only) battery times= galaxy tab2 14 hours run time/2000 (thousand) standby hours Nexus= 9 hours run time/ 300 (hundred) hours ( i had the same question as you, and this is what changed my mind)
Galaxy tab
-Disadvantages:
1-less powerful processor dual core only
2-Official updates slow but unofficial not
-Advantages:
All others
Nexus:
-disadvantages:
1-No rear camera
2-No sd card slot so limited by internal storage
3-quality control issues as elevated screens etc
-advantages:
1-Quad core processor
2-Faster official updates

I have done some research and heard the Ainol Aurora II or Flame/Burning are good tablets. So much so that I orderd 2 of the Aurora II's for myself. If I remember I will come back and post my thoughts on them after they arrive.

If possible, get the Nexus 7. Seems like the best deal. I bought a bunch of Kindle Fires last year - and now wish I had the Nexus 7's instead.

Are you sure. YouTube videos are saying it is not compatible
They are compatible, but they may not show up on play store with certain android OS. My stock OS that came with my phone here in UK wouldn't let me download GTA, Asphalt 8 and some others. But when I flashed the AT&T OS to my phone, the 4.2.2 version 1.24.XXXX, I could download and play these games. Also 4.4.2 works with these, but not 4.3. By not working I mean being able to download from play store, but they do work across all OS, its just play store being a *****.
Though Asphalt 6 wouldn't work on any OS except 4.4.2 for me.

THAT means I have to root that mobile. Uh I don't wanna root. And I don't want to download from net due to fear of malware. Is there any other way. Does the KitKat update makes them appear on play store. I reside in India.

The videos on youtube are old. Check out the new ones. You don't have to root to find them.

Ah, thanks, now I think I can buy this beauty. I was deciding between xperia z1 compact and this one. Though Xperia Z1 compact has a miles better processor and camera, HTC one mini is a sheer beauty and I just cannot bring myself to but the Sony even if it is better. I don't care about processor as long as I can play a few games smoothly. Thanks everybody. I think this is a good community. Pity I cannot contribute to android development as I am forbidden by my parents. The money saved I will splurge on a gaming console.

Before you buy it, check out the htc m8 mini first. It might even be a better gaming phone since is a quad core and it has sd card slot(which is really good for flashing rom).

But HTC m8 mini is releasing in may which is a bit late as I can freely use the mobile only for few days of April. Moreover it will expensive. It will certainly between 36000 and 42000k. Even one mini was 40k at launch. Um I mean 60 rupees is equal to one dollar. So yah its price in India will be BTW 600-700$.

[Q] games run slower than they should

I have a galaxy s2 plus and I think I might have a problem cause I tried playing dead trigger on my phone it lags a bit but it worked flawless on my friends s2 plus the same model and they are both rooted and the same happens with shadowgun deadzone the only difference he owns 32gb sd card and I have 2 gb sd card could that make this slow down in games?

Yes it could, your 2GB is prbably class 2 or class 4. Your friends is probably a higher class.
BUT whats really important: Are both phones running the same android version?
Good point!
Also check to see (use a utility app) to see what else is running on your phone vs your friend's.
Another thing to check is the settings of the game... not sure if this particular one is configurable, but if it is, is he running at the same quality or perhaps lower?
For the android version they are both 4.2.2
And for the quality he plays dead trigger on high smoothly while it lags on my mobile on low
Can u suggest a good utility app

You can use SystemPanel Lite (free). It is quite good and it can show you what processes are loaded up and how much memory they consume.

Well in that case sd card isnt the problem thr gamr is installed on internal memory any other suggestion?
I tried this system panel app it didnt help the problem still remains could this be related to a faulty hardware?
Can a faulty root process cause this?
This problem has driven me crazy hell my friend with galaxy trend can run it better than I do this is crazy
