What is the best Phone..!!

Hi at all.. well i'm thinking on buy a new phone for me.. so i like read your opinons about the best phones..!! for you..!! i like buy a phone that be the latest but that have a lot of new tools.. I think that the Glaxy Note is great.. but it's important for me know about your opinion because.. your have more experience than I.. Thanks..!!

If the galaxy note is your type of device, then go for it. I personally dont like the screen size. Also, it usually wise to wait a week or two after a release to see how the developer forum for that device lights up, that way you know what kind of support to expect.

Simple answer...
The one you can afford and does what you want it to.
I am not surethat the majority of us use our phones to their greatest extent. Obviously if you need a particular thing use that as a yard stick. Personally I have a sensation - but that was down to some Ebay wizardry and selling my Iphone 4 for a good price. Im sure the desire would have been as useful except for watching streaming movies.

There is no such as "best" phone, what is best for me may not be for you.

£150 best phone to buy?

Hi all
I'm in a little bit of pickle and I don't no what to buy really.
Currently I have a nexus 4 as my main and regular phone, no problems its probs the best phone I've ever had.
I've just sold my Samsung s3 mini which I used during the day at work, it was nice and easy to handle in a rush.
I only have a fixed budget of £150 nothing over and has to have a 4 - 4.2inch screen nothing bigger, due coz when I am at work, I need to be able to handle it easily in one hand which nexus 4 is not really practical in doing.
I'm after a decent phone in spec wise and hopefully great community support, i love my nexus 4 coz of the customs roms available for it.
any suggestions or ideas will be much appreciated
Thank You

when I bricked my sensation(TWRP affected), I selected my new device on the following criteria...
1) Earmark your budget, look for online portals selling devices in that range.
2) Shortlist the devices you like from there and go to something like gsmarena.com and see the feature. Compare your shortlisted devices.
3) You would by now have a very short list, probably a couple of them from which you are trying to make a decision. Come to XDA, search for your device and see the development threads yourselves as to how much activity is happening.
A lot depends on how you plan to use your device... so its best to do your research. Good luck!!!

If I wanted to replace my old HTC I would probably go for a Samsung S3. Support is decent and the hardware is good enough, Pricing is very attractive also.

I think every manufacturer has its good and bad sides. If yiu go for Samsung and want to flash anything you will have fun with knox^^. Just an example.

Should I have a pixel for Android development?

I'm looking at getting a new phone pretty soon here, my current one is an iPhone 5s and I'm not excited about it. Before that I had a Galaxy S6 Active that I really liked until it soft-bricked itself. I have some experience with Android development in Java and Xamarin. When I get a new Android phone, I want to get back into development as I really enjoyed it. Using an emulator just wasn't the same for me as I couldn't show off what I made whenever I want and what not.
Recently I've been paying attention to the newer Android releases and the LG V30 looks pretty attractive. I like pretty much everything it has to offer, I just hope it will get updates fairly quickly and for a while.
But then I realized that there might be an advantage to getting a Pixel. I would likely be getting the Pixel XL 2 if I were to go the Pixel route. I like most of what I've heard about it but it just doesn't quite beat out the V30 for me.
So, here's my question: Does the up-to-dateness of my personal phone matter much if I plan on pursuing Android development? Is it something that may be better to pursue once I have a certain amount of skill first? Hardware aside, is an Android One phone the same as a Pixel?
Thanks, ZachZ

New phone

Well it's time for a new phone, wife wants one and as much as I love my current phone I want something with more developer support. While I do appreciate all the work the few people have been doing for the lg stylo 3 plus, I just eant something that will have more people working on custom roms and stuff. My wife just has a crappy 50 dollar phone and I have, as stated, the lg stylo 3 plus. We are on the Metro network so as you all know as long as the phones unlocked I can use it with Metro sim card.
So after that spew of crap, what phones does everyone recommend? I'm in no rush so if there is a newer phone coming out later this year feel free to recommend it as I would like to grab a newer model, but I'm open to all suggestions. The wifes not much of a tinkerer, but I'll change my rom 3 times a day, so the more support on here the phone has the better.
