Right then guys, I am going to buy a new phone in the next week in the UK, problem is im stuck for choice. Ive always had HTC (desire, Sensation) as I am a fan of Sense so was convinced to go for the Sensation XL (mainly for the beats headphones).
Im looking between XL and SG Nexus S (as it has the new ICS 4.0). for the last few weeks I have been using an ICS themed sense 3.5 rom and I know the dev is very close on the sensation for the port of 4.0 so I dont know what to do......
Any suggestions?? or would any recommend another phone completely??
Cheers guys
Samsung Galaxy S 3 (HTC Edge & Galaxy Nexus killer )
Samsung Galaxy S II (costs here in Germany only 400€ and the ICS-Update comes truly) - Or you wait for the Galaxy S III
galaxy ace! cheap, good looking, fine performance!
i think the samsung galaxy nexus is a good choice because of the performance(battery too) and the screen. i like the superamoled screen because of the brilliance. the only problem for me is the plastic cover
Yeahh GALAXY S3
Galaxy 3/Next Nexus

Start by eliminating everything Motorola as it is junk. Galaxy s 2 or galaxy nexus.

I would say Galaxy Note, but that depends on you liking a
5 inch mammoth of a phone. Outside of that, Galaxy
Nexus or SII would be my next choices.
Thanks for the reply ...
fine dude , if i opt for samsung which one should i go for it ? i can go upto $650 not more than that . r8 now am using motorola defy and am very much pleased with that , will take your comments as my buying option .
Motorola makes decent phones hardware wise, but they lock the bootloaders, install tons of bloatware and make your phone model obsolete in a few months.
Samsung galaxy S 2, why ? Cause i have him! Best phone.

Moving to Q&A
I think the Galaxy SII is the better android phone now. If you want to want to hack him, there is a lot of ROM availables. Some of my friends have it, the screen is very good, and the battery life seems to be pretty decent too. It's a powerful, and beautiful. Take it
Thanks for the reply ...
guess i made this post in Q and A only !
and above now the options are S2 or nexus or note ?
Just as a note (no phone pun intended) if you go with the S2 I'd personally recommend trying to get one that's more standard GSM, international version for example avoid the Samsung Epic 4G Touch if possible, it has a bigger screen, but it's not as compatible as the other variants are... the GSM versions seem to have more ROM options, I guess maybe it's due to the CDMA modem in the E4GT, but there isn't even a full-compatible release of Cyanogenmod for the E4GT and the official ICS isn't out for it either. I have the E4GT and I really like it, but I bought it thinking Cyanogenmod was already out for it, but it was only available for the other SG2 models. The same might be true for Skyrocket? Just something to think about.
I surely would buy Sgs II.
I own a Galaxy S. My bro has a Sgs II and i felt in love with his phone. ABSOLUTELY GREAT.
Galaxy Nexus is awesome too but i didnt saw it in person
no choice
hi, i got samsung galaxy 2 (sgs2) for almost half a year - couldnt be happier!!!! my friends with nexus and motorolla are sorry they didnt get my phone. I suggest to get either sgs2 or samsung note depending on the size you are comfortable with as they are practically identical aprt from the screen size.
Also, dont forget that sgs3 will be out in few month and 3d phones are about to start their crusaide.
Go to gsmarena.com and do a comparison (under the photo of the phone on th eleft click on COMPARE) with any of the phones and by spec sg2 will will - by user experience as well @gsmarena.com/[email protected]
hope it helps...
Hi All
I am currently on HTC DHD , Love using it but time has come to put it to rest and get a new phone
Please suggest a new phone that i can get , Any brand is ok will me , What i look for in a phone
1 - Good phone spec
2 - Good design
3 - Phone brand
Any suggestion will be great
Thanks You
< Currently samsung galaxy note is my first choice >
I'd say Galaxy Note should definitely be on your list. Monster specs and it's getting ICS by march, too. Might be a little too big for some but my friend got used to it in a few days.
Galaxy Nexus wins my heart design-wise. The specs are not top notch but it's still a performer as ICS is optimized for it... I really loved it even though I was only able to test it for 30 minutes.
Another option is to wait for Galaxy S III... If you can, that is.

If I looking for design, Xperia Arc is my favorite. But if I looking for phone spec, then galaxy s2 is my fovorite.
Looks like the samsung galaxy family is the first choice for people , Would like some more suggestion
if I am not hurry,
I will wait for Galaxy S III!!
the new Moto Razr is also not bad
cool design
nice display
and really good material
only bad thing is the cam
maybe someone can do a hack to get better pics like on SGS2
HTC Sensation are really nice. Nice specs and nice design. They also come with HTC sense and it will have ICS on march as well.
galaxy note meet your requiredment
Get the Sensation! Excellent dev support and good specs and camera. Nice aluminium body design! And the best part is its HTC!

I have now Htc desire running gingerbread using custom rom and I want to buy a new phone , and I'm thinking of buying samsung galaxy s2 based on its reputation, will this idea be good or not as they both are running the same os and price of samsung galaxy s2 is kind of expensive.Does it worth.Thanks in advance.
galaxy s2 is much better compare to desire and s2 is now running with official ics. so if you got the right deal just go for it, else if you are not in a hurry to purchase and need something better wait for s3
you should wait for the launch of galaxy s 3 and buy the s2 then. the price will go down.
desire is an old phone, upgrade now to SII. SIII will be out in 8 - 10 months, and couple more for prices to get stable. thats a long time plus it will be as expensive or more when launched.
Get the GSII because it's a brilliant phone. It's still ahead of the competition, you can get a variety of great & stable roms and themes - and it's affordable now. Then change it 2 years from now with a cheap SGIII . . .
I'm planning to buy/upgrade to a new android phone but I don't know what phone to choose. I'm wondering what's the best android phone out right now for Sprint?
I think Samsung I9100 is The best choice
Yup.. Galaxy S 2 all day!
You should wait for the HTC One X at least.. it'll be out soon
What is your budget
Well what are you looking for in a phone, the latest?, the biggest? etc
If you're on a thight budget maybe a older Samsung Galaxy S1 will fill your needs escpecially with a 4.0.3 rom from this forum on it.
I'd go with the samsung galaxy s2 personnally.
Definitely the better well-rounded high-end phone, imho.
I think HTC ONE X is best android phone
Sony xperia S
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
The HTC one X, only annoyance is the lcd screen.
Has to be HTC one X, Samsung Nexus or Galaxy S2 (or S3 when its out).
Or if you dont mind the size, how about the Samung Galaxy Note??
All good phones, plenty of happy users here and plenty of support as well!!!
Galaxy S2
what about samsung galaxy nexus?
I've owned the HTC Inspire, the Motorola Atrix, the Samsung Galaxy S II, the Galaxy Note, and now the Galaxy Nexus, all of which I've rooted and used for extended periods of time, and I've gotta say that of all the phones I've owned, the Galaxy Nexus is my favorite. Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich is deliciously smooth D) and, though I absolutely loved my Galaxy Note's huge screen and S Pen, the 4.65" screen is still plenty big and offers a great media experience, and it's nice that you can customize the three on-screen softkeys and even add more if the new layout's not your thing. The camera's not quite up to par with the S II and the Note, but it still produces good-looking video and stills. I honestly can't make the Nexus lag no matter how hard I try, which says a lot for a six-month-old phone when compared to the brand new HTC One X that still lags and stutters despite its quad-core processor and all-around superior specs (though that's at the fault of the always increasingly bloated Sense UI, not the hardware). I'm sure that can be remedied on the One X with custom ROMs and better optimization, but if you're looking for flawless performance out of the box, the Nexus is what I'd recommend. Couple that with Sprint's new LTE network and you'll have yourself quite the badass phone. Honestly though, between the Galaxy S II, the Galaxy Nexus, and the EVO 4G LTE (One X), you really can't go wrong. None of them are by any means bad phones, so just go to a Sprint store, spend 5 or 10 minutes with each of them, and take your pick, and revel in the fact that if you're not happy with your choice in 30 days it's not too late to swap it out!
I made some suggestions to another fellow who had a similar question

Sony Xperia s
Go for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus or wait for the Samsung Galaxy S3
I have the chance to purchase the Samsung galaxy s2, the galaxy nexus, the HTC one x or the HTC sensation. I would like some opinions on which phone is best of the four. I cannot get the s3 since it is too pricey so I would appreciate no one saying I should get that.

If the HTC One X is the original model (with Tegra III Chipset) then take it. If not (if it's the XL or the AT&T model) take the Galaxy Nexus.
Go for s2
.. it's simply the best .. and please don't go for xperia

IMO, nothing beats the HTC one x. The design is far superior than any phone on the market and the screen is much sharper than gs3.
