I would recommend the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the Sony Xperia ZR with the edge going to the Galaxy S4 (The Qualcomm SoC version has a wide variety of development activity). The problem with phones like the Nokia Lumia 920 is while it is a good phone, Windows Phone 8 lacks many of the features Android does such as app selection, customization, lack of good notification support, and good universal search. Overall Android would be the way to go for features it has in my opinion.

I wouldn't go with the ****sung since they almost release a new phone every milisecond and after they got newer models they won't update the S4 anymore(yes, im thinking forward since I had a Samsung Galaxy for years.)
I would personally go with the xperia ZR since I don't like WP.
But why not the Nexus 4 or wait for the Moto X?

Since you mentioned that only the Octa core Exynos variant of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is available in your country I would go with the Sony Xperia ZR. I'm not sure about the availability of the Nexus 4 in India but I would agree that it's worth looking into.

I have the S4 and Love it.
I would definitely suggest the Samsung Galaxy S 4. I just got mine a few weeks ago and LOVE it. Samsungs a great manufacture of Android phones and have VERY few known issues.
AND SAMSUNG IS ONE OF THE BEST MANUFACTURES AT KEEPING THEIR PHONES SOFTWARE UP TO DATE.
The original Captivate was around FOREVER… FOR-EV-ER.
Nokia and Xperia phones are OK, but they lack a few minor things that the S4 has. Things that the average user doesn’t run into unless they try to move files or want to reset their unit etc.
I definitely recommend the S4. You will LOVE it!
Don’t forget to check your headset jack and LDI (liquid damage indicator) no matter what phone you choose. Don’t want to run into problems after your buyers remorse runs out.
Good luck goldsmit409, don’t forget to come back and let us know what you decided to pick.

if any xperia zr user is reading this thread can any one tell me if games can be moved to sd without rooting??
I found this method http://m.instructables.com/id/How-to-install-apps-onto-your-SD-Card-No-Root/
not sure if it will work but if anyone can help me out it will be a lot easier as I don't want to run into low memory problem coz I like to play games a lot

I am using Huawei Honor U8860 now and it is excellent Android phone.
I am wondering if there will be MIUI ROM for Huawei U8860.
It is high C/P value Android phone with good CPU and big RAM/ROM size.
Since Huawei U8800 already has MIUI ROM, hope U8860 can support
MIUI as well.
Does any one work on it ?
Here are Huawei U8860 spec
Huawei U8860 Honor Android 2.3.5

I've just recently purchased this phone as well.
I reckon because its still very new, custom roms for it have yet to to be designed yet.
Am waiting patiently for it. It will come, in time
Also bought Huawei Honor U8860 to replace my HTC Wildfire S.
Have to say that i'm impressed how good this is for the cheap price. My choice was between this and HTC Desire S. (I like the shape of WFS/Desire S)
Tested the U8860 a friend bought and after that the choice was easy!
How much did it cost?
MIUI has announced that they are testing Huawei Honor now and will release an official MIUI ICS rom at the end of the month.
https{}plus.google.com/108531052526575991056/posts/j7qBbD2KLyB
There is a unofficial miui version for the u8860 here:
http://www.deepin.org/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2122645
I am currently using it, and its quite nice, however there are some things that stay chinese even if you change the language to english..
Also I had the issue that the SMS application crashed every time on boot and on opening the app or recieving an SMS. After installing and removing an alternative SMS app however it seems to work now.
The first official MIUI-ROM for the Huawei Honor will be released tomorrow! Source:

Hi all.
Sorry first if I have put this in the wrong thread but wasn't sure where to ask for help.
Well I currently a nexus 4 owner coming from iPhone 4. I always been a android man just gave iPhone ago.
My wife lost her iPhone 5 so she wants take my beloved nexus. Now I would say no you carnt have it but everybody knows its not that easy.
I have a £100 budget maybe scrape a tiny bit more like £120. But no more then that really.
I would like to get a phone with similar fire power to the nexus and with great dev support for custom roms.
I've seen a few Chinese branded phones with quad core cpus but not sure which one will have great support for on here.
Any advise and where I can buy from will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

In China, Huawei cell phone quality is very good.
£ 100 to buy a good phone with some difficulty.
For a cheap phone, I think the Huawei G300 is pretty nice. You've got a team of developers working on Cyanogenmod for it, as well. It's the best price / performance phone in your budget range. However, it doesn't seem really that compareable to the Nexus 4 (which is great), but there's not much else you can do with your budget!

I just got one. I bought it in (fastcardtech.com) $200 it's good quality and hight specs
Ranking
Hey there!
does this HDC phone really have 18 MP? I think it's only a interpolated camera. Anyway I don't think those HDC phones do have a good quality.
If your looking for a china phone ranking, check chinese-android-phones.com/china-phone-ranking/
Seems to me like those china-phones are of a good quality. I bought the Cubot ONE and it's a great phone with quad-core CPU, 13 MP camera and for less than 170$.

This list is an embarrassment. All these phones are rip-offs of phones from HTC, Samsung, Apple and LG. Why don't you try promoting some phone companies from China that doesn't cater to the stereotype view of the Chinese people (that the Chinese just copy and make fake versions of everything)? Phones from Xiaomi and Oppo for example are also quite cheap, have original designs and have genuinely good quality. In fact, the Xiaomi Mi3 is FAR more powerful than the JiaYu G5 for roughly the same price.
THL T100S is best smartphone, China's first eight-core mobile phone, will be officially sold in the January 10, I've been on thlmobilestore com site to buy one.

Actually, the Jiayu G5 retails for around $299 whereas the Mi3 is around $330. Of course, depending on where you get them from, the price difference will be different but the Mi3 is definitely not DOUBLE the price of a Jiayu G5.
chinese loge to 6 mahine hi chalega.
Cinese Jiayu G5S
I own a Jiayu G5 advanced 2 GB RAM and 32 GB ROM , metal case , in black .
It looks pretty much as an Iphone 5 but not really it is bigger.
Beside the GPS function , a lower volume speaker , a weaker vibration function and the flashlight wich u better
use only as a torch , pitty for the 13 MP rear camera ( I am not sure if its not software enhanced , it doesent look as a 13 MP lens )
I can say this device is aswome. Does not have full support on duals SIM but works great with redirection and CallWaiting between SIMs.
As far as I know Jiayu has a little factory who didn't copy but just build their own brand.
The G5 is very fine also from design..

6" (and larger) device alternatives to replace our Xperia Z Ultra (10+ device specs)
Let us make this the thread where all current and future devices with a screen at least 6 inches or more are discussed, so that when the day comes to choose a replacement for our beloved XZU, we will be ready.
List of Latest Contenders
1. Sony Xperia XA Ultra, 6.0", Mediatek Helio P10
2. Lenovo Phab2 Pro, 6.4", Snapdragon 652
3. LeEco Le Max X900, 6.33", Snapdragon 810
4. Xiaomi Mi Max, 6.44", Snapdragon 650
5. Zenfone 3 Ultra, 6.8", Snapdragon 652
6. Huawei Mate 8, 6", Kirin 959
7. Huawei P8 Max, 6.8", Kirin 935
8. Samsung Galaxy A9, 6", Snapdragon 652
I think phones such as Sony C5 Ultra are outmoded now. I would not consider buying a device with a processor less than Snapdragon 650 and I would very much prefer my new phone to come with Android Marshmallow.

I have had a chance to use Huawei P8Max that belongs to a friend for a few minutes. It looks great and only slightly larger than our Xperia Z Ultra. The screen is very nice, the phone is quite responsive. THough my friend complained a bit about the phone taking a very long time to charge. My only concern with Huawei devices is the lack of root access&almost no ROM development. P8Max has Kirin 935 CPU which sits one level below the current flagship Kirin, 950.

Honestly, in my opinion the camera on our phones is well I can't put it nicely, it's a ****ty camera in my opinion.
My gf had a huawei p7 and the camera was way way better then the camera from my xzu.

It's Mobile World Congress in a matter of weeks, so I am hoping there will be more phablets announced, in particularly a Z5 or Z6 Ultra.
I just ordered the mate 8. I got the Z5p but its too small, so I guess I'll be sacrificing ip68 for a while.

Once it arrives, could you compare your Mate 8 to XZU? It would be interesting to have an XZU owner's perspective. And according to the Mate 8 XDA forums, it has been rooted succesfully.
Sure
http://www.androidauthority.com/letv-le-max-pro-first-look-666454/
Interesting to find this thread. I been using my G Flex for a while and couldn't find a replacement for it. Most of the phones listed I've been looking at and haven't found a suitable replacement yet. The M5 Plus I would get but can't find 1 place to order it from.
Huawei P8 Max
I have just bought the Huawei P8 Max to replace my beloved Z ultra (the screen broke by itself !!). Initial impressions are positive - screen is bigger and brighter, very well built , superior camera with flash and what really impressed me in addition to the mammoth battery is the speaker volume, this thing is VERY loud, something we all missed with the ultra.
Having said that, you need to put the following into consideration if you are planning to migrate to the P8 Max:
- Huawei implementation of android cannot be compared to what Sony offers. I know it is a personal perspective but not having an application drawer and blocking applications notifications is too much.
- Forget the lovely 320 DPI where the screen accommodated everything you wished for - Huawei stupidly implemented a 480 DPI interface , everything apart from main menus (games, applications ... etc) just looks too big and ugly. (Hopefully it receives the marshmallow updates where the DPI can be customized like the mate 8).
- Slow updates from Huawei and very small community online.
Other than that, the device is very good, it has everything a phablet lover might ask for - but if Sony releases an Ultra successor I would jump into it.
Cheers

Been using the mate 8 for a few days and I am loving it. For me, 6" is the best screen size. I absolutely love using the XZU at home, but walking around trying to use it with one hand is damn near impossible, and it looks ridiculous in dress pants for work. So until sony comes out with a 6" device, I am going with huawei for now. Here is my more thorough mate 8 review;

you could try to use adb to set density to 320 though.
for those of us who need the extra storage, are there any cases that include a mSD slot? like some cases include a battery? at least this way the lazy manufacturers can make their little phones with no expandable storage but we could put them in a phone with an SD card that would mount on our phones?
side note, another one here looking to get rid of his Z ultra (on original since oct 2013) and am bored. haven't flashed it beyond 4.1.2 and as samsungs out of the running, am looking elsewhere

Thank you for the hint, already did that and was struggling to find the sweet spot. After several trials, setting the density to 288 and using a 3rd party launcher was perfect. However, the only minor issue I am facing is that the typing cursor disappeared in some applications like whatsapp and chrome.
