Same here, not very happy with samsung as a company.
Go for a s4!
It's great, loaded with features and the octa core version just gives a great speed....
I'll be going Z2 unless, unless HTC pulls a rabbit out of the hat.
Hoping the new HTC one is awesome, love the sound, if its got SD card, will very probably go for it, fingers crossed

I was waiting for the s5 but I dont like the size. The s4 is nice but I am worried about it being futureproof. Z1compact is pocketable with newer chip but I dont like the bezels.

I hope motorola comes with something special next month. High end moto X or something. Maybe Unpacked 2014 part II will have something special.
As for now it might even be the red nexus 5.

The M8 is the same as the One, same design but instead of going forwards htc did what they did best and went backwards. They left the ridiculous black bar with the HTC logo.. AND PUT ON SCREEN BUTTONS WTF ARE THEY THINKING?
Sony Z2, well it's a Sony all Sony phones in the past had horrible screens, software and cameras.
Samsung Galaxy S5, seems like the best bet because it looks like it's going to turn out to be the best phone out of the 3.. we will just wait and see.
It's one of those, the best one out of those 3. No clue what that is now though.

apart from that.. It's a downgrade. Stupid on screen buttons and they still haven't removed the black bar with the HTC logo. + the Design is ugly compared to the original.

You sound like you have literally no idea what you're talking about.
The new One is the same as the old One?! Maybe aesthetically but that's the same thing everyone's said about the S4 and S5 for a year now and you seem happy to praise them?
Sony has notoriously had awesome cameras so you've no clue there and all the hands on of the Z2 say the screen is finally amazing.
And the "S5 is going to be the best bet because it's going to be the best of the three"?! That doesn't even make any sense! Did you even read what you wrote?
You make me sad for humanity...
Please go read some actual articles.

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.
Just curious if anyone came from a Galaxy S III (AT&T) to the Optimus G (AT&T). Thoughts, regrets, etc. I know development is much more active on the S3, but if given the choice, would it be worth trading up/across from the S3 to the OG?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I did. My S3 and the sidewalk got in a fight. Sidewalk won.
So I sold the S3, got the OG, and love it. Yeah, I wish development was better but even on ICS, this phone runs smoother than my S3 ever did. And deveopment is getting there so just gotta wait I guess.
Not to mention, battery life is a million times better on the OG. God I hated my S3 in that regard....
Re: Anyone come for a S3?
I did. No regrets.
Not directly but I can tell you I wouldn't trade my LGOG for an S3.
I ha've an S3 on sprint for work and although battery life is better (no LTE) I would never get the att. Version over the lgog. It's a trade up. Screen is better and it performs faster even in eco mode.

If you can get one. HTC has fallen so far that they have major supply chain problems.
And if you want to pay through the nose for a lot of storage, since it doesn't have an sd card...
And if you want to put up with HTC's BS in terms of unlocking bootloaders/s-off...
Tough call in my opinion.

Thanks for all the feedback so far.
I have an upgrade available this year, but I may have the opportunity to swap my S3 for the OG without using my upgrade, hence my question.

Well I'm new here and came from a note 2. yeah, the note 2 was pretty cool but this phone is definitely more powerful. much faster, more fluid, better screen. Oh my gosh, the screen on this thing is amazing. I can see clearly in direct sun light now. this thing has amazing viewing angles and color reproduction. it makes AMOLED look like crap. I sold the note 2 because of dust getting under the lens. I read some more about people even getting dust under the screen. i decided to sell it and buy some cool stuff. Got the LGOG, a roku box, an android tablet, and a router with the money I got from that thing. Best deal ever. Why is this phone's price so low on ebay? This phone is seriously underrated. With this price development should be booming. It's better than the nexus 4 if you ask me (sd card) plus the ability to convert it to a nexus 4 if you really want to. I can't believe i didn't sell the note 2 the day I walked out of the tmobile store knowing this beast was out.
S3 was a great phone but comparison on pure CPU speed the lgog has raw power! I think my switch from S3 to LGOG was worth the gamble being not an LG fanboy. I always said I will only get Samsung or HTC devices... Well I guess LG is on the list now! Lol

A quad core for $99, uh yeah, I jumped fence. I have had two Samsung Galaxy phones (Captivate I897 & SG2 I777) and between having to constantly kill the tethering app, the eEMC bricking problems, the crappy firmware updates that caused more problems on top of the ones the phone already had.......sharpened my baby teeth learning about Android on Samsung. With the LG I actually have a phone that works without having to mess with it all the time. What a concept, a phone that makes calls, has a battery that doesn't drain like crazy, doesn't have random SOD, etc.
The only thing that REALLY bugs me on the LG is the quality of the sound, well actually lack of sound, when listening to music. Music is flat and lacks depth. I just use my SG2 as glorified mp3 player.

The Atrix HD is in a similar situation. Locked down but has a developer edition out. Yet no one is doing anything for it. While you may be able to buy an unlocked one, you run the risk of being the only person doing anything for it with no help. Even then, if you lack the skills to make something for it, you'd be stuck hoping for a decent dev to join the scene. By the time someone even gets around to starting something for it, newer and better devices will probably be released and leave the HTC One without anything. Locked devices + the option to spend extra on an unlocked one is pointless IMHO.

The One is identical hardware internationally as far as I know, so an unlocked dev edition would be ok. I could be wrong, but I see your point.

So far not blown away by this device. Blink is a bit limited. I think I prefer flipboard or scope. Havent really played with the camera yet, will do this weekend. Performance is really not much better than the hox. I'll use this for the week I guess and see comparisons between this and the sgs4. This screen is smaller than the nexus 4 also, some apps look smaller. I think the sgs4 will have a bigger screen and similar remote control? Anyone else not super impressed thus far?
Not too impressed with mine either. Buttons are absolutely horrible, build quality isn't blowing me away either. Might stay with my nexus 4 and it's sane button arrangement

It seems a few of us disagree with you.
the phone is great but i feel that sense slows it down =/ i got my phone today renewed my contract with an early upgrade paid almost 500, and now im slightly regretting it.
Shouldn't be stuck on stock Sense for long. I think once someone gets an AOSP-based 4.2 ROM up and running smoothly the One will be good to go.
Here's to hoping the so-called bootloader blunder will continue for a while to attract some good developers. If HTC shuts it down then this device will more or less suck compared to Nexus 4. ( just my opinion, AOSP > all OEM skins and is more important (to me) than hardware specs)

I'm usually the first one to criticize Sense, but I haven't felt like it's slowing down this phone at all. There's the occasional jerky animation, usually just when adding widgets in the launcher, but that's about it.

Unless you're using pie controls the menu bar takes up as much screen as the nav buttons.
I know the screen of the S4 Active has changed to TFT. How is that compared to the screen on HTC One?
I'm going to look at and possibly purchase the Active today. I will report back with my findings.
So I went to look at it... it took me less than 2 minutes before I decided I had to have it. So I bought it. It is a REALLY nice device, and the screen is nicer than the regular S4's. Compared to the One, the screen is just a hint brighter on full brightness, and pretty much on par with colors. I think the One might be just a tad richer, but that's about it. No doubt, the Active has a gorgeous display. It seems more responsive than the One as well. Definitely happy with my decision.

It's awesome. I like it better than the One believe it or not. It's noticeably more responsive, the screen is amazing, and it doesn't feel anywhere near as fragile as the One.

Screen is nice and on par. Battery I have found to be not only better than the HTC one but also the original s4 as well.
That's without using any power saving apps or settings. I'm going to take some photos with both and compare them. I may post them here if anyone is interested however it's cloudy and raining today.

So, it seems thats "4ultra pixel" looks about the same as 8mp active camera, save for the zoom in detail loss.
The charging port bump and the front physical buttons are a definite NO.

Ever heard of the Sony Xperia Z? Hideous buttons on a High-end phone? No thank you. However, the TFT screen does look pretty nice. I'm sure if HTC wanted to make a water resistant device, it would be on par with the Xperia Z and wayyyy nicer than the S4 active.

Selling my One
The screen on the Active is sick. I think it looks better than the One. I might sell my HTC One or keeping it. I'm falling for Samsung once again until the Note 3 comes out in fall.
Just got my S4 Active today...
I really like it much more than the "original" S4...
It just feels much more solid and the screen is beautiful... used it for about 30 min then I sold my HTC ONE
Well... as the title says, I just got my HTC One today! I love this phone so much...
Coming from an HTC One S, I've been using HTC phones exclusively since the T-Mobile Shadow like 8 years ago lol. Been on XDA for a while, excited to check out a new corner of the forums.
Welcome. Phone is awesome. I love it more with my iblason battery case.

I also just found out yesterday about HTC killing off the One S. Didn't know about that when I sold mine, but now I don't regret it one bit! The commercials were totally right, this phone is everything my phone wasn't. I LOVED my One S, but the ONE is absolutely incredible.
Htc updated the international model to 4.2.2 but knowing HTC it wont be long this phone will quit having updates from htc and if it does it will be year later. I used like HTC when I had the Sensation but after owning the Amaze I became very disappointed with them. Lack of support and dev support were just or worst than LG. But I did played with the One and the S4 side by side and like both. Like there are stuff I like about the one just are there stuff I like about the s4. But I know that Samsung has become very loyal with updates and support. Although back when I had the sensation I hated samsung because of the way they treated vibrant owners

Honestly I am not too worried about getting timely updates. I like the phone the way it is. If I wanted to make sure I got updates quickly, I would have stuck with my Nexus 4 which is an inferior phone to the One.
Its not just about updates!!!!!! Its about proper drivers to new sense and android to make new roms!!! Otherwise CM roms will always be buggy.

Why did you choose One over S4? Just curious cause I just got back from my vacation and still undecided. Cam on S4 is better than the One.

And by 'better', you mean what exactly?
Because I would disagree with that statement.

By better he means 13MP than 4MP with a bigger block for more light. I played with both phones today and the s4 beats it one on day light where you will be using the camera 90% at time. Also S4 low light feature is not bad.. But when HTC comes out with a new Sense version is sad but they will not put it on the one. just like they did with the rest of their devices.. The only reason I would get the one if for something different. I've been jumping back and forward with samsung and htc.. Now LG is another story, I wont be spending my money with them because they dont have good support.

Overall, the camera is better in the s4 than the One. I've played with two sets of demos of each phone and tested the cameras side byside inside the tmobile stores. My findings were, the One had problems focusing on targets that the s4 didn't, also the the One pictures are not as clear and detailed as the s4 in both distant and macro shots. The one most definitely has a slight advantage over the s4 regarding low light shooting, but when it comes to the average user everyday use, you'll be shooting in good to decent lighting and you'll want good sharp detailed photos from them!
I'm just sayin

Having always had Samsung phones and loving them till s3 with all of the bloat, I was really thrown off by touchwiz. It is too bulky and feels laggy, not to mention it makes interface plain ugly. To me, every app on htc one makes android more appealing, while s4 does opposite. I ended up rooting and putting 4.2.2 on my HTC one with elemental x kernel and ordroid Rom... My god... This thing flies, and battery easily outperforms any device I've seen.
