The pros of a device totally depend upon your needs, thus there is no ultimate answer to your question, as there is no ultimately best android phone.
So could you please provide us some information by telling us, what do you want to use your phone to? That would really help us to help you.

Contract or pre paid?

Needs :
As a reader [ forum, books, newspaper ]
As a surfer [ internet ]
As a businessman [ business apps ]
I"m getting a way to get a phone from America, so does it need what package it is or it is lock/unlock.
Thanks mate

I've heard good stuff about the Sensation, or would that be considered too outdated now?

Sensation would be consider "outdated" but in my eyes its still a great phone

samsung galaxy S2 or Note
or wait for samsung galaxy S3 coming soon

For the design, my favorite is Xperia S
You're question is as hard as if you asked "What is the best PC on the market" ^^
I mean smartphones (and especially Android phones) evolve really fast!
In my opinion, you should choose a phone for its beauty, a phone with a design that you love and then look the hardware (a dual core at least) because hardware is easily exceeded whereas the design isn't And if you have a great looking phone, I think you will keep it longer than if you don't. Pay attention to the brand also, because some of companies have bad reputation with their updates like LG for example, and if you are not the kind of person who will install custom ROM, it could be annoying :/
So I would say: Xperia S (so beautiful O_O), Galaxy S2 (one of the best Android phone), Galaxy Note( its like the S2 but bigger and faster I think), the One X ans S seems to be pretty good. Or wait for the Galaxy S3 which will certainly be amazing!!!
You should try the phones that the members will give you
Sorry for my English :/

S3 soon

For your needs Samsung Galaxy Note would be best.But you could also get a tablet.

Nexus S. It really has a vibrant developing community, it's Samsung, and it's cheap. Perfect Choice

I second this, If I wasn't planning on getting the new EVO this would be my device of choice (besides the gnex). It still holds up spec-wise, it has a great design and it was so far ahead of it's time's feature sets that it really isn't missing anything. Also it just got an official OTA to ICS so there's a vibrant community to support you and/or help you with development. Also since its a few years old now it wouldn't surprise me if you could get a used (in good condition) one for around 150-200$ which when you think about an unlocked phone isn't half bad.

SIII or Xperia S.
I'd recommend the Galaxy S, it's definitely still going strong, and ICS roms (all unofficial obviously) have taken off with aplomb, if you really wanna deal with ICS.
But the GB scene is still strong too. Plus it's cheap (got mine for 150 British pounds), pretty awesome and it didn't sell god knows how many million units for no reason!
Well actually I'm looking to get a GS3. On tuesday

Doubt about new phone

Greetings! First of all sorry for my bad english.
I'm watching this forums for some time but I finally made an account because I need some advice.
I have Galaxy Ace at the moment and I'm in a search for a new android one.
So i got stuck on Xperia S, Galaxy S2 or something 3rd
And I'm not sure if galaxy S2 is still worth buying? Is there any better dual core andorid?
Quad core is just to much at the moment for me and I don't see any reason to get one.
I found HTC one S is a great phone but it's to costly for me and I really don't like HTC phones.
Anybody?
Best dual core android at the moment? Or at least best for its value
The galaxy S II is still a great phone. Depending who your service provider is you could maybe even get some other phones, but the s2 is amazing. It is one of the most durable phones, even though it does feel cheap. It will come with touchwiz so I suggest you put a custom rom on it. The battery life is pretty nice on it. The screen is nice, large and bright. The phone is very nice, with its biggest downfall being it feels rather cheap, but still a trustworthy phone.

It's a good phone, especially considering how the newer phones have terrible giant screens.

For getting it directly from Smart, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus would be your best option. I don't know if it would be different on your end, but by going to Google Play and getting the Gnexus from there unlocked, it would cost half as much. Sorry for the late reply.

Does Google Play still sell the GNex? I thought they pulled them off their site?
Best Android Phone bar non is Samsung GS3 or HTC One X. I heard a One X+ with fire-breathing, ear splitting quad-core and turbojets will be out in the fall.
They pulled it off for a week about a month ago, but its been back on since then.

Jumping ship to the Nexus

Now that there is confirmed news about the LG Nexus [Source], are you guys considering moving from the SIII to the Nexus ??
Don't get me wrong, the SIII is an awesome piece of hardware, but the lack of documentation from the Samsung Exynos team is a well known issue. That, to me, is the most important reason anyone would wanna move to the Nexus.
But I want to hear more opinions as to the advantages as well as disadvantages of the Nexus vs. the SIII.
no...
gonna shift to S4 when it comes......
we have the latest hardware and don't need move on some xx company's xx crap.......

I don't actually think theirs anything wrong with LG, of course I'd choose Samsung over them any day of the week, but if Samsung were yet to come onto the smartphone market, and LG had already made an appearance, I wouldn't be hesitate to buy an LG, providing specs etc were all up to date and the phone isn't just a single core 800mhz A5 snapdragon lol not suggesting snapdragon are bad processors....I was referring to the old A5 architecture

I just wanted to say something similar - of course it will just be outsourced to some company in Asia and will not be very competitively priced (unless you have an internal deal or something) since Google does not want to alienate any manufacturer!
That being said the openness is an interesting advantage (after the problems that I had with my S3 - which I discovered it was a patched version instead of a real IMEI unlock as I thought when I bought it).
LG left a sour taste in my mouth a few years back so I don't think I'm jumping ship, plus the specs leaked so far aren't too impressive.
However that new HTC with the 5inch 1080 screen has me interested...

It's hard to say as they both have good Dev support, but if u r gonna stick with stock Google itself, then nexus4 will get official updates longer than s3 would get. Display is good on both but I would stick with s3 on that. But talking about customer services, LG is nowhere near Samsung. (in India especially)
Sent from the zombie world. No they aren't coming yet!
S3
Nexus 4 will have long term support and you can expect to get the latest android version first on your device. S3 might be a little late in getting these updates.
Feature wise, both of them are almost the same, though the S3 has better customer support in India. Moreover, the Nexus 4 has a fiber glass battery cover which some folks have complained about.
I would go for Nexus 4 if I was you. Mainly for the support from Google!
