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!
Cheers

My opinion: Galaxy S2 will be a very good option, in fact, the best option before ICS generation.
Galaxy S2
HTC Sensation(XE/XL maybe?)
Sony Xperia S(upcoming)
Sony Xperia Ion(upcoming)
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!!
I'm about to change my old Desire with a new phone... but i'm very undecided on my choose.
I have no budget limit, but i want to spend well my money...
I'm interested in full ICS support that come with Galaxy Nexus, but some features don't like to me (plastic case, design, easy-to-scrath display, "old" cpu and gpu) ...
I like so much new HTC One series (especially One X) but it has too much inch for me and the nvidia soc doesn't persuade me (after have seen lg 2x problems) ...
so there is HTC One S, but here i don't like the design (much more beautiful on OneX) and to tell the truth, i like original interface of ICS, i don't want Sense also because is too "Social-print" (i don't have facebook, twitter, google+)
I'm so confused
Hmmm, Samsung galaxy s2? If your still into HTC phones maybe XE or XL.

S2 is getting old ...
maybe the best thing is to wait for S3
First your current available
Well SGS2 has the best processor of that generation, shame about the TW muddled OS. This is the only thing that lets it down.
The GalNexus is almost indentical with a bigger screen, excellent noise cancellation, processor almost as good but ecellent stock vaniila guaranteed upgrade but no gorilla glass, and micro SD card.
The HTC One X -- Quad Core, large screen, ICS, Good camera with nice features. No removable battery, no microsd card. See debate about Quad vs Dual Core to decide where you stand
For deciding phones in the future might be good

For a fair as you can find evaluation of quad core vs top dual core
http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/05/htc-one-x-vs-one-s/
Seeing as the Krait S4 performs quite well, I'd suggest the ASUS padfone as a strong contender for your purchase.
Future phones are mostly rumourer and I covered that here;

best thing to do now is wait... obviously for SGS3. That does not mean SGS3 is your best option… you should wait & then compare HTC One X , SGS3 & LG optimus 4X

I agree, if the HTC One X isn't suited for you then waiting really Is the best option.

Galaxy Nexus is getting cheaper by the second, and will undoubtedly take a further price dive after the S3 comes out (hopefully in a month or too), so that's an option. However, you said you had unlimited budget, and didn't like GN so much. (Also, it is a "last-generation" phone, though not outdated or anything.)
You never mentioned if rooting was an option. If so, you can get stock ICS on pretty much anything (I'd wait for the S3 to compare it to our current options, then). If not, your choices are far more limited (most of them not even out yet): http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/q9zvm/phones_with_stock_ice_cream_sandwich/
Either wait for S3 or go for S2 and root it. Flash ICS rom and you are golden..
Can anyone tell me what the main differences are when you compare gnexus with the stock ROM vs gs2 with rooted ics rom? The differences in speed smoothness etc

Last time I've heard the SGS2 with ics is faster. But I guess that's a personal opinion.

Hey There,
a friend of mine is looking for a midrange Phone going up to 300€ / 400$
i tried my best and we found the HTC One V to be a good and pretty phone that also has a slight chance to get a major update (since it is in the One line)
Would you agree with the One V or is there a great phone in that price range we missed?
Does the One V have any killer arguments not to buy it?
Thanks for your Advice
If your friend isn't an hardcore android user and it's his first smartphone I'd say xperia arc s or optimus 2x. Also some recent things like xperia u and sola are nice. It all depends on what he likes and wants. For example, I love gaming so I bought xperia play, it's far from being in the battle for best phone and having great specs but it's all about user experience in my opinion.

I didn't know these phones are already that much down in price.
It's her first Android smartphone (she had a symbian based Nokia smartphone before)
From pure specs superior, but has someone already tried one or more of these phones?
HTC one V
Sony xperia arc s
LG Optimus 2x
Thank you

I have an LG G2x, the US variant of the Optimus 2x, and I'd highly recommended it for a first phone as long as you'd be willing to install a custom ROM on it.

Id go for an evo 3d, not because of the cool bonus of 3d, more because its a dual core phone, 1gb ram, 4.3 inch screen, eactly the same as a sensation, but the battery is bigger, more mah, i got mine for 180 quid, mint condition of ebay, plus its planned to get ics, although there are some amazing ics leak roms already!

Is the 512Mb of RAM on the 2x an issue?
In a similar boat, looking for the cheapest phone with dual core cpu, 1Gb of RAM, tolerable internal RAM, SD slot and reasonable community support.
i doubt there is a 1gb ram phone you can get new in this price range :S
so far the LG optimus 2x look good, but it wont get 4.0 until Q3...

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

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.

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.

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.
