try quadcore processors and HD display screen...Siri is only available on apple as they have bought the company that created it.
It'll likely be at least a 1.2ghz quadcore running ICS Android 4.x - there's no way they'd make the specs any lower than the Galaxy Nexus, so use that as a suggestion for minimum specs. There's good odds it (the Nexus) will be officially announced tomorrow so you'll see all the info then.
The rumored Nexus specs are:
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
9mm thick
4.65-inch 1280 x 720-pixel Super AMOLED HD with curved glass
TI OMAP 4460 dual-core Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1.2GHz
1GB of RAM
32GB of built-in storage
5-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel in the front
1080p HD video capture support
LTE/HSPA depending on carrier
Wi-Fi a/b/g/n
NFC
1,750 mAh battery

Which custom rom will be best for it? Considering there won't be any until after it's released, how would anyone know?
If you want Siri then download Speaktoit.
The SGS3 is months away yet anyway, waste of time speculating at this stage.

Yeah that may be a good choice, Or even the next HTC (the Ville?) It is quadcore and 720p HD screen.
What was your interest?that would determine which Android phone suite for you.
A minimum 4 inch screen
Dual core or more procceser
Full hd video recording

I was going to post a similar question..
My HTC Desire HD is sadly having hardware issues and I need to replace it.
I need a phone in the next couple days.
The HTC Ville was my choice, but I don't think I'll be able to wait for its release!
I'm looking for advice on Androids already on the market.
Min. Requirements:
- 4" Screen
- Dual core
- 1GB RAM
It has to be an international phone.
A qwerty (physical) keyboard would be an amazing add-on, but from my googling I don't think that is available with the above specs.
I would love to hear your thoughts.. Thanks
And for the OP.. If you could wait for the Ville, do it
Is ville better or s3

If you can’t wait then I would recommend Google Nexus Prime. If you willing to wait but not for long I would consider looking at “Galaxy SII skyrocket HD” rumors has it that it will be released sometime in March. Finally, if you can wait and you are not in a hurry then I would consider the next gen phones with quad core processors such as Galaxy SIII and HTC Ville as they are going to be some of the first phones that will come with ICS preinstalled

I just came back from the mobile shop, i played around with the nexus prime..
I really liked the screen on that thing! And ICS feels/looks great..
However, what i didn't like is:
- no sd card slot (
- 5 megapixel cam ( my DHD has an 8 and it's 2 years old)
- I've never liked the build of the Samsung smartphones.. Compared to the builds of HTC phones, Samsungs (including the nexus prime) feel like a toy in your hand; or am I the only one who feels that?
So I'm not sure whether I'm willing to sacrifice the above.
I will check the Galaxy SII skyrocket HD.. I'm not sure what to do.. I guess I'll keep on looking.. I don't wanna wish it!

My opinion: Galaxy S2 will be a very good option, in fact, the best option before ICS generation.

HTC Sensation(XE/XL maybe?)

HI,
I recently bricked my phone trying to flash Cyanogenmod 7 on my HTC Desire S (apparently installing a rom on that phone is like running in a mine field).
It worked for an hour before totally crashing the phone.
CM7 was so amazing that I was wondering if there were any phones on which you could install it with close to 0 risks. I mean, it seems to be a piece of cake on the Nexus, but are the Samsung phones safe as well ?
Because after using CM7 I really can't stand HTC Sense anymore and I know that the HTC phones aren't the easiest one to root.
(I know that there are always some risks while installing a rom, I just want the phones with the lowest risks)
Sony Xperia S
My desire is wonderful.. but.. not NFC, bad camera, bad screen etc..
But I love it ...
one vote for SGS2.
Ville with quad? wut
Where do people read that Ville will recieve a quad-core processor?
Ville is supposed to be a DHD predesessor, with a dual-core clocked @ 1.5 GHz
whereas the HTC Edge is the one with quad-core (and this perhaps being a Tegra 3?), with 720p screen, Sense 4, NFC, 4G and international aswell.
I'm getting this as soon as available in Denmark!!

HAHA Processor frequency and number of cores don't mean higher performance. A good processor needs a good architecture. In this case, Samsung Exynos Quad is definitely better than Nvidia Tegra 3.
In my opinion, don't get a quad core smartphone this year. As they're only with 2 additional same level ARM-A9 in the chip. I would recommend you to get the Snapdragon S4 powered smartphone. As it has 2 ARM-A15 processors inside. One A15's performance is actually stronger than two A9. The idea smartphone in this year should be Sony Xperia GX or HTC One S with the HD screen missing but other than that, One S is awesome.
Sent from my WAREZ impulses.
i'm thinking of getting the Galaxy s3 but i'm having a bit of trouble deciding which one. before i continue i would like to sate a couple factor :
I have att, 3gb of data
I live in New York so i have LTE coverage everywhere
i barely use data for anything other than downloading an app, browsing the web, or watching something on youtube
i'm a major gamer so thats were getting the international one with its Exynos chip v.s the us one with snapdragon s4
So a couple of questions i wanted to ask you guys was:
Does 1gb vs 2gb of ram really make a difference and improve speed, i don't multitask a lot just like 2 or 3 apps
how good is the snapdragons 4 actually?( Give your opinion, and if you ever had lag when you used it)
How good is the snapdragon s4 for gaming, ex. GTA3, Max Payne, Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation, N.O.V.A 3, and if the games ever felt laggy or a little glitchy?
Also they are more developers for the international version
thanks in advance
If you are not worried too much about the LTE speeds than your best bet is i9300. Exynos 4 Quad is definitely better for gaming ... I have the AT&T variant just because I wanted to have unlimited 4G plan (grandfathered unlimited 3G upgraded to unlimited 4G now).
Also, if u have ORD then i9300 is the best choice hands down. I can speak from my own experience when I chose to get i9100 over local US variants. The amount of developer support for the international models is mind boggling. You don't get that much support (as quickly) for the US variants.
So better gaming, better developer support. I would say go for i9300 ... Hope this helps.

For ME the development alone is the biggest reason why i went for the international, we have so many recognized devs working on so many ROM's and its nice to get the first updates as soon as they come. The quad core is a bonus, as i have never seen a hint of lag or stutter on this thing. The 2gb of ram vs 1gb of ram isnt really that big of a deal to me, phones run perfectly fine on 1gb but 2gb is awesome too. This is why i chose the I9300, its different for everybody but i love this beast.
I come to these forums a lot to see what the US version has cooking and so far it looks like things are getting ready to pick up! Task and Ktoonz (sp?) are awesome devs.
If the $600 is out of your budget, then the convo is done. I mean what else do you need people to say?
Please don't take me being blunt, for rudeness.

No problem. Trust me, your going to love it. You probably won't even want to sell it for the international version. The US version handles everything just fine. In fact, tests have shown where the S4 processor actually performed faster in some situations. Most phones can't even utilize 4 threads yet. Put simply, you get all the performance of the quad-core (and then some), plus amazing battery life. We've seen video proof of the performance. With the S4 Qualcomm has introduced a new architecture, and it's cutting edge. It's based on the same instruction set as the new ARM A15 processors, which gives it a significant advantage over it's competitors. It will do tasks faster, and more efficiently than the rest of the current generation hardware. So performance is just as good overall and battery life should be better.

Don't believe everything you hear the s4 chip is a beast. Not as good as the sammy quad but i say better than tegra. Either way a duel core phone going toe to toe with either of theses processors speak for itself. It's a notice different from last generation duel core. It handles games without a hitch battery life omg all day long . This phone isn't perfect but it's Pretty darn close. I own the evo 4g lte with the s4 chip and it runs sense4 like butter no lag get the phone enjoy it. Development isn't where the international version is because the rest of the world78% to be exact got the same phone and little usa has to have there altered to work with lte. Plus they got theres before us. The u.s galaxy s3 development will pick up fast the delays and Verizon just getting it a few days plays a roll to.

Not to be rude but you need to research the specs yourself, someone could say one has magic faeries inside for all you know.
The One X has a super lcd2 IPS display, while the GS3 has a samoled hd+ screen.
The One X has no removable storage or battery, while the GS3 has both.
The One X has 1gb of RAM, while the GS3 (USA) has 2gb.
The One X has Sense, we have TouchWiz

As you can see here the nexus 4 scores much lower than the galaxy s3 running the dual core s4. These benchmarks shouldn't even be taken with a grain of salt if the dual core s4 out performs the quad core by such a large margin. Now I know this involves the 4, but I wonder if the same could be applied to the nexus 10. For example the nexus 10's sunspider benchmark is about half that of the chromebook and they have the same cpu at the same clock speed.
Look here how much higher the optimus g scores than the nexus 4.

I know the international version is quad core, but it doesn't use the s4 quad. The tmobile galaxy s3 uses snapdragon s4 dual core. The resolutions are the same I believe due to the three buttons for home and such on the display. Also the resolution wouldn't affect sunspider or other cpu benchmarks.
On the nexus 4 the cpu under clocks itself because it gets too hot.

I searched for the word hot in their review and it didn't find any results. Either way does it mention that it underclocks due to the heat?
I have to believe that the performance in only going to get much much better with future updates from Google.. The result clearly show how premature the kernel is for 4.2.. Show in the N10 and the N4
It's quite possible that the benchmarks produce BS results.

in all honesty, i would not put it past the iphone 5 to beat the S3.
even if you ignore the benchmarks, which a lot seem to imply that the A6 gives even the 5250 in the nexus 10 a run for it's money in some (rare?) cases. (although the case of optimization argument may be made),
note that the PowerVR graphics chip in the iphone 5 is absolutely fantastic, as it seems apple are focusing more on bumping up graphics than CPU in the new A6.
(you should also bare in mind that it seems the A6 is A-15 based, compared to the A9 in the S3 international)
speaking of which. i'm pretty sure the dual core S4 in the S3 you have would be slower in most cases than the i9300 anyways,
so this idea that your s3 could beat the iphone 5 in raw power is a bit hopeful,
and definitely not in terms of games, loading apps ect, purely because of the whole iOS has less devices, ect ect.

speaking of which. i'm pretty sure the dual core S4 in the S3 you have would be slower in most cases than the i9300 anyways,
so this idea that your s3 could beat the iphone 5 in raw power is a bit hopeful,
and definitely not in terms of games, loading apps ect, purely because of the whole iOS has less devices, ect ect.

you may be right there, but I think the nexus 4's gpu is better than the one in the iphone 5. I mean look at glbenchmark, the nexus 4 has a higher fps running at a higher a resolution(egypt hd onscreen). Also the cpu is a quad core krait so I highly doubt the iphone can compete there. The only reason I bring this up is because you were claiming that the iphone 5 has a fanatastic gpu, when in reality it's very good, but I'm not sure it's the best.. You could argue that the iphone 5 scores higher in the fill rate and the triangle throughput, but I feel like these ones may be easier to rig as they are the ones that don't actually render a game.
