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.

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

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!

Google Nexus
Nexus S
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
Well I am sure you have Heard of the launch of the HTC one X and Samsung Galaxy SII a couple of days ago but which is better?
Need some good research
One X is sexy period and the S3 isn't.

I like both phones, and both have their ups and down.
I like both companies new iterations of their proprietary skins, Sense 4.0 looks great and TouchWiz (5?) has a bunch of new helpful features (and I like old ones such as swipe a name to call/message). The One X definately wins in the looks department but I don't think the SGS III is as ugly as most make it out to be. However I hear the battery life isn't so great on the One X, and a portion of the screen is wasted for an onscreen menu button due to HTC basing it on the layout Google set out (which is stupid I think, there's no reason to have a seperate multitasking button when holding down Home for 1-2 seconds works perfectly fine.)
All in all I think the SGS III offers more benefits to the user, even if HTC does win in certain areas (better looking, better camera, more refined interface). If I were actually buying one of the two I'd like to try them out side by side before making a final decision, but at this stage I'm going to say Galaxy S III.
S3 cuz of us storage mode and lte

I think htc is better software and design wise but the s3 might have better battery life and camera also samsung tends to have phone really lightweight but it just depends what you prefer : sense or touchwiz?

After using the sensation for about a month I had to get rid of it because of sense. I seriously do not like sense.. It really annoys me for some reason. I know that you'd probably be able to root it and custom rom the One X but to be honest i would much rather just go with the s3.
I would say the S3. I like every spec that it have. Im not going to say that the X One is a bad phone because it isn't, its a great great phone, but i just like Samsung more.

I like how Samsung is focusing on Software, why make a super pocket computer if you dont have good apps to exploit that power?
S-voice is something that should have been present on Android earlier...
The good thing is that is very probable to see all that software ported to other devices
I'm still very happy with my HTC Sensation XL, but if I would buy a new phone now it would definatly be the One X.
I was really looking forward to the Galaxy S III, but the plastic keeps me away again.
I think the design is just too bad and I've always loved the HTC devices so it wouldn't be a though choice for me.

+1 my exact same thought. except i would never get caught holding a samsung phone.
Hello guys.
This is something I'm wondering about as I'm planning to buy a new device soon. I love HTC's build quality and the Legend was the best looking phone I've ever owned.
On the other hand, I'm currently using a Galaxy S i9000 which I absolutely hated out of the box but fell in love with once I discovered the great work by developers on this site.
Development for i9000 and Samsung in general is very active here. Could an HTC owner please tell me how it is on the other side of the fence? My decision will eventually come down to the availability of custom ROMS from XDA.

hi
till recently and even now i have one HTC phone which is being used by my wife(very low end one) I can give it to u guaranteed their will be great development for any HTC phone u buy in fact to my knowledge XDA was and still is Famous for HTC development support . so cool man go buy any HTC phone ull have fun here
Another S3 vote here.
The only thing the HOX has over the S3 is the screen, and that's debatable depending on whether you prefer LCD or AMOLED and their accompanying traits.
Both great phones, but the S3 wins on processor/GPU grunt and software innovation.
The slight camera advantage that the HOX had has been demolished by Samsung copying it's main features and bettering them (burst mode, best shot, voice activated capture) - and Samsung cameras have always been pretty good hardware-wise anyway.
SD card support, removable battery, probably better battery life (than the Tegra 3 HOX), the list goes on - and that's even before you get into the software side of things which I won't bother with as I assume you have/are capable of looking all that up.

2nd times 10. Samsung phones feel so dang cheap you forget about what a good phone should feel like. I hated my GSII and went to the HTC One S and it is just night and day for me. I get signal in places I didn't before. The slim form factor and the build quality and just so superior. Never say never but I doubt I will be grabbing another Samsung. (Vibrant owner and GSII)
Obviously there is no perfect phone as I am not a fan of where they put the volume buttons and how large they are in contrast to the wake\sleep button but overall outstanding device. My good friend keep on about his One X and I see why. Sense has some really nice things about it. Twiz is the devil. Add to that Samsung's update issue and industry worse no looking back to support devices and that is enough for me. I am not saying they are wrong it just doesn't work for me going forward.
I really like the design & build quality of HTC One X.. Both are polycarbonate plastic but HTC did the right thing! But SGS III beats One X in almost every single category.. So SGS III for me.. I don't care about the design anyway since i will use casing.. lol

Since you are OK with trying S2, which is an older model. Why not look at HTC Sensation XL? The S2 had serious battery drain issue, though I like the phone a lot.
I am a HTC fan (don't really like Samsung mostly due to cost and the UI) and had been eyeing the HTC One X. But having read the problems with it, I think I will give the entire ICS based HTC a miss this time. Just not worth the effort to even root it.
I am tempted to get the Samsung GS3 but the difference is too great for me to digest, though several reviews said the battery life is really fantastic.
Cheers
Htc One X
Go for the One X! Unless you need expandable memory and removable battery. Which the galaxy s2 offers. Couldn't you get a device in the same price range as the S2. But with less issues/flaws that other users have pointed out about the S2.
think i will go for the SG S2 , i read that the HTC One X has heating problems
