Yesterday, my Galaxy SL fell on the ground and half of the touch screen stopped working, so I am thinking of replacing that phone.
The new one must be around the same size (123.7 x 64.2 x 10.59 mm) and I'd like it to have some support from the modding community.
I've been thinking of HTC One, it really looks good.
Thought of Nexus 4, but I'd prefer a phone with external microSD support. I'd also like to have the chance to replace the battery (I know the One doesn't allow that).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
What about LG G2?

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini or Xperia T (doen't allow to replace the battery)

Galaxy S3 mini or the S4 mini would be good. Both phones are great budget devices that fits your description (though S4 mini is slightly smaller and has IR Blaster, as well as a more sensitive and accurate GPS)
Galaxy S2 would be another consideration if you are tight on budget (though the sound quality is not the greatest "YAMAHA DAC" lol)

Awesome device.and in budget too!!

I also like this phone, but too expensive.
Sorry for the very late reply!
Somehow, I ended up getting an HTC One, which doesn't meet any of the requirements I had specified, but I couldn't help falling in love with it.
Thank you for you support, anyway (Yeah, I'm clicking "THANKS" to everybody )

HTC Explorer is quite a nice phone, well below your budget I think and it has 3.5" screen. Not sure the resolution of the camera.
The HTC Desire C, mentioned above, also looks pretty good, you could wait for it if you don't mind waiting. That way you get ICS (Android 4.0) and Sense 4.0 instead of Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5.
EDIT: Scratch that, HTC Explorer is 3.2" screen. HTC Desire C looks good though, if you don't mind waiting.
Galaxy W, or Sony Xperia Neo are both good single core devices with not bad cameras.

So guys I am planning to buy a new device.. And with the budget I have, there are two options for me.. S3 and One X but I am really confused between them!
So which one is the better option?
Any help will be appreciated!
Sent from my Xperia Neo V using SwiftKey
S3 for the performance, One X for the design.
Although, they say that the Jelly Bean update for One X even made it at par with the S3 in terms of performance.
Just in case, dont buy the one x +, you can always root and unlock the one x's bootloader and overclock it, no need to spend extra bucks for that.
Also, take a look at nexus 4 2gigs of ram, quadcore krait cpu's, adreno320 gpu, and most of all- its a Nexus. And a beautiful one, on top of that.
I prefer galaxy SIII

Stretch your budget a bit and go for note 2.
You won't regret it.
" Always forgive your enemy, nothing will ever annoy him more."
I would say
Wait for NEXUS 4..
Let it be like this...
1) Nexus 4
2)HTC one X
3)Galaxy SIII
::highfive:
Don't buy anyone of these two phones,both of them're old phone n soon replace by next flagship, keep waiting will be a smart choice.
Note 2 is better than S3 for me,n S4 will coming in February next year.
Droid DNA is also coming out to replace 1X.
As the comments above,Nexus 4 is nice.NEXUS IS NEXUS AFTER ALL...
as this section belongs to xperia neo ill answer this way
xperia odin or xperia yuga
They will be overpriced as all Sony phones!

Samsung even releases a jelly bean update for the galaxy s2!
Via Mobile
N7000 Note - I'm gonna buy it next summer just the freaking resolution and screen size just awesome
Get a Nexus 4 if it's available any time soon! Well.,I doubt it's launch in India soon!
Or else get One X however both One X and s3 are getting old!
Xperia Yuga is a good find! Imo
Just to say,
Get any phone which you find suits you best as Companies would keep releasing newer models, that's their business
It should not happen like you wait for s4 ,by the time you decide a new phone is announced as its successor, so again you wait.... And the Vicious circle continues!
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium

Hey gents, I am looking to upgrade from my Xperia Ray some time in January or February and I am hoping that some of you guys can help me in narrowing down the search. So I compiled a small list of wanted features.
WANTED
Medium sized screen (4.3 inches or smaller)
Enough RAM to support android 4.2 and further upgrades (2gb or 1gb)
Dual or quad core for multitasking
Android system
Reasonable price (below 400 euro) - preferably less expensive
Do you have any suggestions? I am pretty open to any OEM.

I think you misread my post I am looking for a phone with a 4.3 inch screen or smaller. I dislike the huge phones and thought that it looked completely ridiculous when I saw a guy with a Galaxy Note 2 in the metro today.
But the Nexus 4 could be a phone that made me go for an exception. I have had a sweet eye on this phone since the start of November. I am just a bit thrown off by the size of it. A screen with 4.7 inches is not possible to be operated with one hand for a guy with medium-small sized hands.

Thanks a lot guys for all pf your answers!
I appreciate all your suggestions and I will consider all of them before I make any descisions.
The Nexus 4 is tempting, but I dont see it becoming nearly as cheap in Denmark as on Play Store anytime soon
Xperia S seems to be a nice phone, but it seems to be slippery because of the back and the shape. Also it looks a bit wierd with the huge attachment to the bottom.
Xperia ion I will have to look in to, because it has not crossed my mind earlier.
With regards to the S2: Xperia Ray has had 4.2 for 2 days now, I consider that pretty fast
nexus 4?
1 issue that bothering me is easily break on glass-back body.
ive read many post by other ppls on this issue.
if u stick with Sony, go X-ion. that the best for me now.
One-S is too expensive if comparing on same-spec phone. its better take sony X-S than one-s.

I just sold my S3, what phone do you suggest? I was thinking of the Xperia T, but the S4 chip doesn't seem too great and I don't like the design, they don't sell the Nexus 4 here, the Note 2 looks good but it's too similar to the S3, the OneX+ seems to have bad battery life.

Everyone will have their own opinions and reasons. Only you can decide, so do just that.
The post has no real relevance here either, just try the XDA generic Android forums for a broader view than S3 users.
The S4 chip is awesome and way better than crapsynos 4, plus you get the benefit of a fully or next to almost full working CM10.1 experience. So go with an Xperia T.
Seeing as you are so picky, I would suggest the Nokia 1100. Maintenance free, loooooooong battery life.
But seriously, I would wait till the Xperia Z is released. Or S4.
Good luck with choosing a phone.

I could get the Asus Padfone 2 for the same price as the Note 2, but without the tablet. It looks nice, but not many people have it!
Where are you from? I'm sure you could import the N4?
I would pre-order Sony Xperia Z . It looks very good and premium, hardware is very good and Sony care about dev community.

Main reason why I will most probably get Xperia Z is that Sony cares about dev community and provides needed sources. Also hardware is top and design very nice and premium, without cheap materials.
For me it is time to try other brands.
Right now i would like Sony Xperia Z.
If you can afford it just wait a month or so and get it, i'am sure you won't regret that decision.
