I've rooted both Htc and Samsung devices and have found Samsung just a tad easier. Also the flagship phones seem to have more developer support. So out of your list I would say the one x+
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317
I would choose the HTC one x+
I don't know what I need... HTC one or BUTTERFLY...

LG optimus G pro its perfect with the last eye technology
optimus g
HTC One X+
Awesome build quality and great price/performance ratio
Just make sure you put CM 10.1 on it, you'll want to get rid of the HTC Sense skin (full of bloatware)
ACE 2
The question depends on what do you need. If you want a "brick" that may even break a wall, you can buy some Siemens or old Nokia phones But if you need a good mix of all main good features from Andy, get Samsung Galaxy Ace2:angel:
htc one x+ out of those
It depends
it depends on what you want from a phone, i wanted a good gaming phone so got a xperia play but it all depends on what you want from a phone
I would go for One X+ as well.
From the list which you have provided, i will choose HTC One X+ .. but i personally think that One X+ is bit over priced.. Now if i have enough money.. I will buy the Sony Xperia ZL.. i feel it as the most compact and powerful 5' device at this point of time..
I will go with the one x+ , i used both samsung and htc but ibreally loved the htc amazing screen fantastic resolution and a decent battery life , samsung is easier when rooting and flashing roms , but htc is brilliant go htc and you wont regret it

It the One, still the one?
With no SD card and no removable battery, AND the arrival of the Galaxy S4, Is the HTC still the best?
I see lists of phones with ratings and complaints of this and that as far as UI and bloatware, if these phones are rooted and a custom ROM installed, then could someone direct me to a comparison of phone based upon being rooted and a custom ROM installed?
I have a GST-P1000 which is average without being rooted, but I'm running Andy 4.2 in CM 10.1 and it is a totally different animal.
Can anybody help?

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

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.
Sent from my R800i using XDA
Thank you!
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.

LG Optimus 2x is my choose...
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...

This. There is no better phone for the price if off contract.
oO that is an awesome price! unfortunately they don't have this offer in Europe and a US Nexus wont work over here :S
i think we're going with the LG Optimus 2x
You can get a used Galaxy S II for under $400.

I'm currently debating getting one of the two. I had a g1 then hd2 and now a sensation. I loved development on the hd2 and was hoping my next phone could give me the same experience. So my real question is will more developers be working with the gs3 or the HTC one ? Or is there a better choice for me ?

If you want better hardware then go for S3 , if u want better design then go for One S.

It's the Samsung S3. Have a look at the specs of the international version.

Actually, you cant say, that its the best. It is definitely one of the best of the best but there is not any best phone.
Yep, I think there is no best but better. Actually just personal experience!
I think it's the HTC One X.

+1 the galaxy s3 is just too big! the build quality of the one x is pretty poor though... but I just don't like the look of the s3.
Galaxy nexus, simply because it's a pure Google phone

i think u should buy a ss S3, it is best phone :laugh:
Well even if my fav phone until now was HTC one X, i think S3 is a better phone, for now.
Think its SGS3 for technic and all new Sony models for design. Hope anybody combine its all together - probably, HTC.
There will never be a best phone ever it just depends everyone's taste...

HTC One X and the recent Samsung Galaxy S3 are brilliant representatives of best android phones.
The S3 is not the best, neither is the One X. To be honest, both are close enough that if the One X was under the Samsung label and the GS3 under the HTC label fanboys of both OEMs would be screaming to high heaven about how their OEM's phone is the better flagship...
Personally though, I prefer Sense enough that it would sway my decision towards HTC. Samsung may have the better spec, but HTC has the better software.

...... How many of these threads do you guys have to make?
If you're off-contract the Nexus 4 is probably a far better option, if they ever get it back in stock that is... The only negative for me when comparing the Nexus 4 to the HOX+ is the limited storage space on the Nexus 4, but it's really your choice when it comes down to it. Just look around at the reviews on the tech sites, we're not going to be able to tell you much more than they can.
