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.

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.

Hi all, I am getting a new phone pretty soon and am trying to decide between the LG Optimus 4X HD or Optimus VU.
Note that Optimus VU is the international one which is the tegra 3 quad core and not the dual core.
I have been a LG fan for a while now! They make great phones but slow on updates but I am not a person to fuss over that because this is what XDA is made for.
So can anyone tell me what to get and which one is better?
Question to Devs of XDA: why is there not a LG Optimus VU thread on XDA?
Wait for sometime n get a lg nexus 4
I only gave myself 2 choices and that's the 2...and my country isn't famous for its nexus sales

I have LG optimus 4X HD.. Id do this: Wait for nexus 4.
LG optimus 4x hd has a locked bootloader, u can't install roms,themes,kernels etc.. You have a totally locked phone.. just like the crappy iphone. You can ofcourse do more with the android phone.. but its not worth it. Get the Nexus 4.
Dear all,
What do you think which is the best phone uptile now or coming in near future
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Up till now? No one knows for sure. You can debate between the One X+, Optimus G and the GS3 or the GN2 or even the Nexus 4, but everyone has their personal preference.
Coming in the future? Who knows? 2013 is the year of 1080p displays and Quad-core A15 chipsets and 2 Gb of RAM and so on.. We can only wait and see...

What?
guys i need a help to buy a New android phone, right now i am using xperia neo v but i want to change it now so please give me your valuable suggestion. My budget is near 20,000 rupees..
Samsung Galaxy S Advance if you want a phone that's going to have an official JB upgrade.
Otherwise there's LG Optimus L9 and Motorola Atrix 2. HTC and Sony phones are much lower specced than these phones in this price range. You can also look at Sony Xperia J, but it's specifications are inferior to the other 3, I think. Look up all these phones on GSMArena and find the one you like best. If you want the (almost) latest version of Android i.e. 4.1.2, then your only choice is Samsung Galaxy S Advance.

I got mine at $179. Sold my G2 and am going to use the LGOG until I see another phone that I must have. Right now I'm pretty pleased with the OG running CM 11.

I paid the 150 and the lg g is a great phone. There isn't anything that really is making me switch. Yeah I love bigger screens but I am OK with that size. I was gonna get a moto g. But new for a lg g 150 or even 200 is the much much better deal. The lg g is a better phone. The moto g is great but for the same price u or less get the better lg g. Just not much cases for the G version from att.

Yeah I am super happy with this phone. Quite possibly one of the best I ever owned next to the Note 2.

The Moto G is a low budget phone with a quad core processor and no LTE with a 5 MP cam with flash using the latest android.
It has its ups and downs.

Ic. I guess I just didn't know enough about that phone. I was fooled by their personalization color case commercials

Bought a G2 in October a few weeks after launch - great phone but I always change phones after about 6 months. Normally I'd have waited until after Mobile World Congress to sell but this was such a good deal for a nice device that I jumped a bit early. Now I have a phone I can tolerate for a little bit along with plenty of cash for the next big thing. Maybe the G2 Pro or something.
The lg g flex it looks pretty sick. I wonder what iPhone people feel since they always change to the same phone
I am going to buy g3, pro 2, and the flex to see which of the 3 I will like the best. Then I'll have 2 phones for sale. I currently have a g2, of and the og pro. As far as lg products are concerned I didnt like the s4 so I sold it. Phones are getting cheaper for lg compared to Samsung. Also I got a 3.00 pay raise so these new phones got affordable.

Well as it stands I currently have the e970/e980 and the g2. I will buy the other 3 when they are out and about. I will sell my g pro and g2. The e970 has a cracked digitizer up in the corner but works fine. I mill through phones very fast. Wife gets annoyed when I buy extra phones for Pandora or media remotes. So I often have 1-2 of each device.

I have an e970, been looking around for a g2 for a while now. It may be a few more months until g flex and whatever else makes it out. It'll be cool if we can make out a deal on the g2 when the time comes around
edit: didnt realize G Flex is out already

I can't make up my mind between the moto g and Optimus g. Which has the better camera? Which has more bloatware?

Go with the lg og you wont be disappointed. The moto g is a nice phone but is a downgrade in comparison to the og with aosp or stock. You can always root then debloat stock and have the lg goodies. Plus 2gb of ram over the motog's 1gb. 8mp camera(lg) vs 5mp camera(moto). Plus lte on the lg optimus g and sd expansion etc etc.....

Well the lg g has an 8 mega camera. A better front camera a better processor a better screen not by much but it is better and so what bitter. The lg g does has more bloatware but u can easily root it and put an cm11 ROM or so on it. U get a better speced phone with the lg g in comparison to the moto g. And it is also cheaper then the moto g. Remember the moto g is a phone made as an beginner smartphone the lg g was a flagship device and made for being a high end phone. So there is no question the lg g is better. But the moto g is a great phone but u get the lg g for a insane low price and better specs. And also has the lg g LTE and NFC what the moto g does not have.

The way I see it other than the android version lo og out classes moto g in every way... just sayin. Also the lg og may feel like it gets hot but its the fact it has a glass back. Makes the device feel hotter than most devices.
