Guys what is the next round of phone or phones? I am considering the s3, and the one x and evo 4g lte are killer, but if there is something better/more powerful towards end of year, I want to wait. Does it look like end of this year for new phones or next year?

There is a rumor going around about HTC launching another Top Android phone. 'HTC One XXL'.
The device is said to have a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 2GB of RAM, a 4.7-inch Super LCD2 display, and LTE connectivity.

There is usually a product cycle to the big contender phones. Just like every summer, a new EVO is released. You'll find other phones released between these times. But, you never know. They're already developing superphones that are faster than the EVO 4G LTE.
There might be a new Nexus phone announced at Google I/O next week. iPhone 5 in the fall, and probably another round of Android superphones for the holiday season, probably once Samsung/TI/Nvidia launch an LTE baseband that will work with their SoCs.
Well the latest rumors are that Jellybean will be released next week at Google I/O. You can get the new S3 or EVO but if you plan to see Android 4.1 on it anytime soon you are probably in for disappointment. I'd get a Galaxy Nexus or wait for the next Nexus line which should have similar hardware to the latest super phones.

It's the Note :silly:
It'll be a bit bigger than the original
Cool thanks for the responses. Good discussion.
I am anxious to see the new gnex, but I'm thinking it wont have a large enough screen (even tho the specs will be good enough). Other words, I don't think it will be "better" than the S3 per se, other than getting jellybean/pure android...but never know....
Lastly, the responses to this are actually "grown up" for once - you guys were spot on. Thing is, I was expecting much worse reactions as the question could have drawn out all types of trolls.
Hopefully XDA has turned a corner recently...thanks again.
How about the new WP8 phones that are going to come out around October I think. Huge update to the software from what I have read, multiple core, multiple screen res and size support. I would be very interested to see a Nokia WP8 mobile with their 41mp camera, and Nokia maps. That would be pretty amazing. I am itching to see what comes out.

I was deciding between the EVO LTE, and S3. Ultimately, for me it came down to the better carrier. I have grown tired of Sprint's slow data, and went with the S3 on Verizon.

Unfortunately for Sprint, slow data is the only reason I'm leaving...otherwise I'd consider the EVO LTE more seriously.
Waiting for the sequel to the Rezound on Verizon, then I'm leaving Sprint. I'm assuming this will be released around Nov/Dec. It will likely be based on the One XXL, if it ever comes out.

If you like the stock Android experience, get whatever new phone comes out. Since I like modding phones with custom kernels and ROM's, I try to look out for the phones that have a lot of devs going over. Just my $0.02

I don't know. I'm thinking about the S3 if everything is gravy with the sprint model. I'll wait about 2 months and make sure there arent alot of issues. If not I'll prob go with the evo LTE...
been thinking about this alot, since sprint is really good in my area, and I have an upgrade in 2 months...

I have a feeling now that google has their hands on motorola, that they will eventually have a pretty sweet release....more then likely a Nexus. I have a feeling that it'll not be locked down the way it has in the past. Google knows what Android junkies want, and they'd be kinda stupid to not use motorola ideally the way they should. Hopefully it makes it to sprint. Main reason I'm hoping for this is purely for the fact Motorola and Google are AMERICAN companies.

I am an upgrade-oholic A year is all I typically keep my phones. I bought the Nexus-One the day it came out, then picked up my current EVO 4G on launch day. I am itching for a new phone.
Saying all that, I am looking for a slightly lighter and thinner phone, the EVO has become a tad too bulky and thick for my tastes, I do like what Samsung is doing with the thin and lightweight form.
Anyways...the upcoming Nexus-3.0 rumors makes it sound like Google really wants to wow us big time with the next Nexus. Most likely HTC built, with Quad core, Tegra 3, 2gb RAM, etc...and be the first phone on market running "Ice Cream Sandwich"
As nice as the EVO-3D will be, it seems come December it will be replaced by this much better next gen product, and Sprint is said to be tapped first for release.
What to do ? Get EVO-3D now, or just hold out for the big beast Nexus-3.0 ?

If the rumored specs are even close to being accurate youll be waiting till next year.
To be honest, why wait? If that's the case, u might as well wait for what comes after the new nexus phone....then wait for the one after it. Thing about technology is that u will "never be caught up"
So get the EVO 3d and be happy. Because when that nexus 3.0 comes out, some new EVO 4d will be announced lol

You're right. Get the best Android phone this Summer, in the EVO-3D and be happy with that. And then decide if I really want the Nexus-3.0 once the official specs are revealed with release date.
Specs wise the new EVO-3D should run stock "Ice Ceam" very well. I highly doubt the hardware in the 3.0 will be night and day better than the 3D ?

wait for the nexus 3.... wen that is getting ready to be released there will be some better device on the horizon... ohhh then wait for that. At that time this new uber 8 core phone running android creme brulee will only be 6 months out!!!
If you like upgrading that much just shell out $600 every 6 months
Or just upgrade now and trade in the 3d at radio shack...still probably worth over $200...hell, until a week ago an evo 4g was worth $180 to them ....there is also ebay, but, too much effort for me...much better return though......anyway, then...get the n3...sure, costs a little more but it isn't full retail....you get to ride the cutting edge and your don't have to worry about the n3 getting rooted.
That's my new plan.

As it seems since it's been a while since the last "what's the next phone to get?" thread...
I've only had this phone for less than a year and I am going to eventually bite the bullet and just pay full price for a new one. While there are some great ROMSs out there (Clean, MIUI, etc.), Frankly, I've never had a more boring phone when it comes to choices sans bugs. Sooo....what's the next Sprint phone to get?? I looked at their website and it seems the same phones I had a choice of getting when I chose the 3D. Anything coming down the pipeline? What would you get?
I'll be hopping on the Nexus bandwagon as soon as they get it. I know it's going to be already "old and outdated" but I think I would still be happy with it.

As Jay said, the Galaxy Nexus will be coming to Sprint sometime in the near future. If you're wanting more of an update than either of those two phones, you should wait until later this year and see what Sprint has to offer for LTE phones, and better processor's too.

I will be getting the evo3d2.
Whatever phone I get to replace my 3D hasn't even been announced or rumored yet, so im just waiting and still having fun with my 3D.
I'm not going to jump ship but rather wait to pull up to port to see whats next. I would not even consider another dual core when quad cores are on the way. Next phone will also be LTE compatible.
My next phone will be on sprint and will support LTE on both of springt's frequencies, 800Mhz and 1.9Ghz(I think). Quadcore on 28nm die. 4.5" screen. After seeing what HTC did with the bootloader, I'd like to see a Nexus device on sprint that supports the LTE I'm looking for.
I love my evo3d, running Myns 547 nightly, Anthrax kernel and system tuner to keep the voltage low for great battery usage. As long as people dont chase all the developers away with their complaining, this phone will only get better with all the creative talent here at xda
Hopefully in about a month we will know what the next one is. Hope it's quad core and big

dood, phone has been discontinued by tmo, it's not got much life in it. I just happens to be one of the 2 soon to be 3 available hspa+ 42mbps devices! once the s drops you can expect more price drops on the Amaze.
The phone may be going EOL but it's probably their best phone and is still comparable to the new One S. Also those ads are completely one sided, note that they are using an iPhone for Sprint which is only a 3G phone. I used to be on Sprint before switching to T-Mobile and their 4G service was decently quick... if you could get it.

That would only be the case if you switch it on to check one page then shut it back off again. It does take about 30 seconds or so to connect to 4g, much like it does to connect to WiFi. Personally that sounds like a dumb excuse to not use 4g. We don't have 4g here but if we did, I'd likely leave it on all the time since my phone is near a charger all day anyways.

I am very interested in it, Asus is one of my favorite companys specially for gaming, i love their ROG series. i have the Asus G74 laptop right now and plan on getting the Asus Tytan.
Note that its never good to get any phone when its just released. i wait a few months for all the problems (if it has any) to be fixed and development to start and prices to drop. while the samsung galaxy ii already been out for quite a while.
according to this site it wont be too much more than the one s: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Asus...mer-Pad-300-Get-Priced-in-Europe-264743.shtml
only $15 more for just the phone. i will wait till the price is around $400 on ebay then ill buy it in a heartbeat
edit: look at their website now. they updated the information about it. http://www.asus.com/Mobile/PadFone/ you can get 102 hours of battery from padfone (the phone), the station (tablet), and the station dock (keyboard). they all use the hardware of the padfone (cpu/gpu/ram/camera), but they all have their own battery. also its all one data package (from the phone). this is going to get huge IMO.
the camera should be better than the amaze as well, has the same aperture, but a better lense made my asus.
So I just saw this:
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/04/t-mo...-ice-cream-sandwich-upcoming-device-launches/
Looks like it will be pushed back till june.
That makes no sense since this seems to be works so well.
I wonder if HTC leaked that purposely to test people or if it will change again.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks again to the leaker at tmo.
Thank you for choosing to force integrity down the throat of the sleazbags in the marketing department...

We are working closely with our carrier partners to nail down update schedules for our smartphones and will have more to share very soon. For all of our latest ICS news stay tuned to our blog: http://bit.ly/yTJiXX
Not date yet. We'll let you know if we learn more.
I said it in another thread and I'll say it again. I have a feeling T-Mobile is holding off on the update so the One S can have the spotlight for another month. They probably figured that people would buy it since Ice Cream Sandwich is a big selling point.

I asked HTC, they told me....
We are working closely with our carrier partners to nail down update schedules for our smartphones and will have more to share very soon. For all of our latest ICS news stay tuned to our blog: http://bit.ly/yTJiXX
Not date yet. We'll let you know if we learn more.

I said it in another thread and I'll say it again. I have a feeling T-Mobile is holding off on the update so the One S can have the spotlight for another month. They probably figured that people would buy it since Ice Cream Sandwich is a big selling point.

These two tie in together. HTC wants to nail down an update schedule that the One S will have ICS for a while, gathering in sales, while the other phones will have to wait. Also, T-Mobile stores list our phone as 1.5 ghz dual-core, they don't really specify that it's produced by Snapdragon or that it is an S3. Clearly, it would look bad that the One S and the Amaze have the same specs in a simpler manner, without going into specifics.
Some of you folks act like your phone is broke or completely ancient because it isn't rocking the current OS.
There is a leak for ICS, so what is the problem? If you want it so bad, download it and be on your merrily happy way. If not, go spend monies you probably don't have on a device that runs on it. Complaining over and over on something you can't control is beyond rhetorical.
Not like T-Mobile has ever been fast with the updates. This is nothing new......be glad if it comes out in June.

Also to note, you people actually think majority of users pay attention to specs that much? Again I say, we are such a small % over the grand scheme of things. People that are due for contracts will get whatever the new hotness is. Period

I agree just look around your own family. How many of them just want something pretty that's makes calls not everyone cares about all the bells and whistles.
I do though so I took the risk and got the update already and lovin it.

My Amaze (bought in December) has multiple issues that have not been resolved on three separate handsets, and half a dozen factory resets. I'm not "whining" about not getting ICS sooner, I'm whining about not getting FIXES after way too long a wait.
The last word I've heard was, "we're working on a fix," "HTC is aware of the problem," while I continue to wait, and wait, and wait. Like the poor refugees in CASABLANCA
I'm willing to wait longer for solid fixes, and (crosses fingers) a replacement of Sense 3.0 with the much-improved 4.0. Frankly, I've gotten tired of factory resets and handset replacements that flush my progress and scores from games that I've paid for. It's not a requirement that my games are intact on a phone, but jeez, it got old after 12 weeks of ownership of this top-tier phone to be told, "don't install any apps, just use the phone as shipped."
I just feel that I've been made to wait through serial postponements while HTC and T-Mobile trumpet a newer, slightly better line of phones. Clearly, people who've already bought an HTC don't get as much respect or thought than the new customers out there. S'okay, if the ICS update arrives and doesn't fix the problems, I'll know what to do. Root, flash, or flip and get another brand. T'is a pity that modern manufacturers would rather disappoint their established customers while trying to attract new customers. It's a model that has destroyed many companies in the past.
pushed back? they said a date? I had the gs2 and I love the amaze wayyyy more. Sense>touchwiz by millions

Exactly what I am trying to say, People who compare specs slightly, will notice that the Amaze and One S are very similar, and will buy the least expensive Amaze

So I just saw this:
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/04/t-mo...-ice-cream-sandwich-upcoming-device-launches/
Looks like it will be pushed back till june.
That makes no sense since this seems to be works so well.
I wonder if HTC leaked that purposely to test people or if it will change again.
What are your thoughts?

ICS leak is NOT running so well....
My radio signals are fluctuating ..... woke up yesterday and my service said 4g with full bars.... but all the apps I tried to run specially facebook told me theres a network connection error.....

Rumor has it that it might come to Sprint, and if it does, it might get the Evo name
HTC M7

Looks like it won't be an EVO but it will come to Sprint and it will be called HTC One. HTC released news of it today.

Yep. Supposed to be on all carriers and will be htc's first all carrier launch. This will most likely be my next phone.

The specs can't be ignored. IM wondering if Verizon will upgrade my wireless router for the new wireless ac
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Guessing No, it'll be similar yes but expect more minor boosts (ie. Kickstand, SD Card Slot, battery etc.) The Next EVO should be on track to pick up the 3D owners who actually waited 22 months.

I was looking forward to a 5 inch screen for the next HTC flagship to Sprint, but I'll settle for 4.7 with 1080p display at 468ppi. And the rest of the specs, I'll take it.
Not much to be hyped about compared to the DNA....camera...and screen are really all that's a upgrade to it... Show me next gen Qualcomm SoC in a Sprint device and then ill get excited!
Really worried they will toss APQ chip in with MSM/MDM for radios which will be old by time of an EVO launch....
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
Oh and that article stunk btw.... Guy is lost all over the place. If they throw those specs it'll get stomped by the S4 imho as that should be using sammys new chip by then I bet....
The guy flat out says 32Gb is enough for any phone.... Fool
I still don't see VZ jumping on board this soon after the DNA release either...
Dunno my biggest thing is to NOT see the APQ SoC in a device as that's been done and there won't be any firsts there.... Regardless I don't see sprint disbanding the EVO brand for this still...they need their device to set apart...but who knows...
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
Other thing sprint has done releases at CTIA after HTC did their shindig at MWC....FWIW....
Ugh I'm gonna be alone but if this is it, then ill need a lot that's not mentioned to come up and surprise me to get me to make a plunge on that device...
Won't see 800mhz lte support that early either...though that might not come till later in yr anyway.

If I hadn't already gotten the EVO in August I'd be all over that phone. My wife's upgrade is in Jan, she's likely getting the EVO as I doubt I can convince her to wait longer for this phone. Specs are beast. I guess I may be one of the few that thinks that phone is going to be awesome, I don't see why there isn't more hype....

If I can expect to get an update to an Android 4.2 / Sense 5 update for my phone, I'll keep it for an additional year and get something after that. HTC still has a lot of work to do, but I would really like to see continued upgrades for our handset.

I hear ya, but this will be on Sprint .. the DNA isn't, also this will have a bigger battery and with the smaller screen it'll smoke the DNA's battery life. So, better battery, screen, and camera? That's nice. Big improvement over the EVO that's for sure, and I bet there's other improvements over the DNA that will come out.

My wife keeps wanting me to buy a new phone for her, but she doesn't like the ones with the big screens. She'll only do HTC, and we have to stay with Sprint. So, she may have to deal with it.
If the next nexus phone comes to sprint then that will probably be my next and first choice. The fact that you can't take the battery out the evo 4g lte really really turns me away. I plan to give my evo 4g lte to my dad but something tells me I'm going to have to do some replacing of the battery because of how fast these batteries lose their charge after a while. That's gonna be a pain despite the how to videos. My second choice will be the S4 unless HTC gets there stuff together. Don't get me wrong, I like sprints variant of the one X but samsung is making their devices way more attractive lately. Always been a HTC fan but they haven't been coming through lately. Here's to hoping they listen to us.

You know sense 5 will happen on this device. Thinking this phone is gonna make the long haul. Sprint and HTC really needs to focus on a 1.5 year update policy for every device. Or maybe make it a two system update. Get 4.1-4.2, then 4.3 or next update. Or sense 4 and sense 5. Now that we arent upgrading our phones as often as we were 3 years ago, its either gonna be update to future proof the consumer investment or people will be jumping ship.

No mention of sd card there, no bueno. Plus with 1080p I'd hope there's a gpu upgrade in there as well, that's a lot of pixels that need updated.
