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

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.

the SIII has better camara?
on some reviews they said the SIII has better camara.

bigger screen on SIII
sony suck..
they already mention they only support 18 months for the update
Sgs III
Go for the sgs III. The cameras are almost the same, the cpu on the sgs III is faster, more storage, many features, bigger vut not better screen.

Is you are a Sony lover then either buy Sony S or wait for next Sony handset to come out... Sony's camera is very good.. See the reviews, one of the best out there, probably better than s Samsung, Otherwise go with Samsung SIII
Sent from my X10S using xda app-developers app
SGSIII is Optimus Prime and Xperia S is Bumblebee, so its ur choice, something fastest on the market or something with soul but fast enough!

Go for the SGS3. If you need some reasoning, read the article about this phone in the September issue of Maximum PC. They LOVE it, almost as much as I do.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
I don't think anyone with the right mind would buy any Sony phones right now, they are under-specs handsets with heavy price tags. The only reason someone would buy the Xperia S is because of camera. But the GSIII's camera is also not bad (though I haven't seen any comparison between the 2 phones, probably because the Xperia S is not so popular).
Quick check list:
Battery life: GSIII (much longer battery life and replaceable battery)
Screen: GSIII (the SAMOLED HD is better)
Hardware: GSIII (quad core Exynos is too fast for Snapdragon S3 in Xperia S to handle). Oh, have I already mentioned how outdated the Xperia S is in terms of hardware? Snapdragon S3 is a two years old SOC!!!
Software update: guess which phone will have Jelly Bean first?
And personally, the major disappointment I have with the Xperia S is how Sony screwed up the media playback capability of Snapdragon S3. The same videos that play smoothly on my Sensation (same SoC, snapdragon s3) became pixelated on the Xperia S regardless of players I tried. It's not a common bug but it is a dealbreaker for me.

You will be VERY pleased with it. The SGS3 is much better than the HTC One X too.

Hello.
So, Yeah. I'm going to get something new.
After I had unfortunate accident when my Droid RAZR broke in my pocket without any crash, I'm receiving new one for warranty and decide to change something, because I hate when phone breaks without reason
I live in Poland, so I need something that reach europe.
What I need... Specs comparable with RAZR (CPU and RAM. Some nice GPU would also be nice), Screen at least same quality as it and overall nice quality.
It would be also welcome to be easily moddable with decent amount of Custom ROMs for it. Official/Unofficial CM support is also welcome.
And one more thing. No SGS2. I'm tired of it.
So. Any propositions?
Thanks in advance!
Galaxy S II is old, why would anyone suggest it with the Galaxy S III is out? If you're tired of Samsung then go for an HTC One X. If not, the Samsung Galaxy S III is waiting to love you. I'd suggest a Nexus but you seem to be pretty content with rooting and ROMs so I guess it isn't necessary.
How about Galaxy Note 2? Supposed to be announced at end of month

If you like rooting and roming, go with the Nexus. Otherwise, Galaxy S III or One X.
Ooh, go for the Xperia gx. Actually, scratch that. I don't think it's available in Europe yet... maybe the acro s... damn I'm not really sure when it comes to Europe.
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app
go for the one X, but rooting it might be a bit difficult, if so, then go with a nexus!
I would suggest a Galaxy Nexus. Nexus devices always get the official updates first and will be supported for a long time (for example: Nexus S got JellyBean, Galaxy S which has almost the same hardware has not even gotten official ICS...)
Get Galaxy Note 2. It will be released in few days.
Galaxy s3 is an awesome choice too.
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S3 T999
The nexus s is very close in spec to your RAZR. The camera isn't as nice, but fantastic device none the less. You can get them cheap right now too.
The SGS3 is an incredible device. It blows away the RAZR in performance from every angle.

If you can get a Galaxy S III go for it because Samsung just came out with the official jelly bean OTA , otherwise Galaxy Nexus ftw...
The Galaxy Nexus does not have a gorilla glass display , only a scratch resistant one...I haven't really tested mine by putting it in my pocket with my keys lol, but If you get a decent screen protector you won't have any problems...
Gorilla Glass is a big plus , but its a small price to pay for the software experience you're getting out of this phone...Pure AOSP Android experience , you will get the latest updates FIRST, and not have to wait like with the SIII for example...or any other phone for that matter...
Plus its a pretty powerful phone..well worth its money right now if you don't care about the mediocre camera...(which I personally think is fine...1080p video at 30fps , with decent lighting it records great... Photos are OK as well so...)
OR if you're good at waiting you can wait for the new nexus to come out that might have a GG display, but Google hasn't even announced it officially yet so...

BTW:
how is it comparing whith the xperia TX? (iternational Xperia SX)
why you can't buy Nexus 4?
My head says LG 4X HD, because its fast (quad core tegra3), it has gorgeous 4.7 screen and its fantastic for games and movies, but my heart says Sony!

I myself would have chosen the one s but 16Gigs is too little. That's why it maybe a better choice and for only $10 more. But that's just my opinion. You have it really hard because the one S is such a good looking phone and hardware to match.

brenty108: I've removed all of the junk from my SD card (it is 32GB and it was full) and now I have 5GB of apps photos and music... so 16gb is fine...
this are the only phones that are in my budget... (the best anyway... I dont think that the SGS2 / galaxy nexus / moto Razr / Xperia arc / ray / play can beat any of the ones I've writen above.)
Thanks a lot for who ever unsweared!

Well, in my opinion, i will wait until CES2013 over..but i have few and monstrous QuadCore phones in my mind:
1. SONY XPERIA ODIN~ (Will be ultimate phone if specs is as powerful as rumored)
2. GOOGLE Nexus 4~ (But no microSD Card Slot)
3. HUAWEI HONOR 2~ (Cheap But Affordable Specs, supposed to have big spaces for further development)
4. LG OPTIMUS 4G
Hope Helps
Nexus 4 it's the better because it will have automatic updates when google anounce a new android version!
Nexus 4... although since you.mentioned price being a problem, the HTC one S is probably the next best option..don't buy the xperia S, its got the looks but performance is nothing compared to the one S..and the optimus 4X is trash, for something that costs a hundred bucks more...
I think the best one would be the one S..the.limited edition has 64GB internal memory, you might wanna look into that too
1 - HTC One S (Snapdragon S4) (cheapest) it'z to be high performance for 2012 xda developers. Enjoy your all requirement i thin so...!!
Just go to a store and put as many as you can in your hand. They all feel a little different, touch response, brightness, feels like a girly phone
Don't wait for the next best thing, there's always another better one coming.
Don't get me wrong, user reviews helped me narrow down my selection

Hey gents, I am looking to upgrade from my Xperia Ray some time in January or February and I am hoping that some of you guys can help me in narrowing down the search. So I compiled a small list of wanted features.
WANTED
Medium sized screen (4.3 inches or smaller)
Enough RAM to support android 4.2 and further upgrades (2gb or 1gb)
Dual or quad core for multitasking
Android system
Reasonable price (below 400 euro) - preferably less expensive
Do you have any suggestions? I am pretty open to any OEM.

I think you misread my post I am looking for a phone with a 4.3 inch screen or smaller. I dislike the huge phones and thought that it looked completely ridiculous when I saw a guy with a Galaxy Note 2 in the metro today.
But the Nexus 4 could be a phone that made me go for an exception. I have had a sweet eye on this phone since the start of November. I am just a bit thrown off by the size of it. A screen with 4.7 inches is not possible to be operated with one hand for a guy with medium-small sized hands.

Thanks a lot guys for all pf your answers!
I appreciate all your suggestions and I will consider all of them before I make any descisions.
The Nexus 4 is tempting, but I dont see it becoming nearly as cheap in Denmark as on Play Store anytime soon
Xperia S seems to be a nice phone, but it seems to be slippery because of the back and the shape. Also it looks a bit wierd with the huge attachment to the bottom.
Xperia ion I will have to look in to, because it has not crossed my mind earlier.
With regards to the S2: Xperia Ray has had 4.2 for 2 days now, I consider that pretty fast
nexus 4?
1 issue that bothering me is easily break on glass-back body.
ive read many post by other ppls on this issue.
if u stick with Sony, go X-ion. that the best for me now.
One-S is too expensive if comparing on same-spec phone. its better take sony X-S than one-s.
