It all depends on the price range! How much are you willing to spend?
If you don't give some details about your needs then nobody can answer your question!
IMO, Samsung, HTC, Sony Ericsson and Motorola have the best smartphones at the moment.
It's all personal preference. I'd recommend that you go into your local phone store and try a few different phones out from Samsung and HTC so you can form your own opinions.

for me samsung is best but htc too good.
Samsung smartphones are dominating the android market right now but HTC is really good also.

in Iran u just can see a phone from Showcase and tell he i want that! U can't try a phone here before buying!!! and they are noob 2/3 of all markets know whats is really smart phone and know models!!!!!!
It depends on you
It depends on you.I think the iphone is the best.You can visit this website: www。netacce。com. Maybe they can help you.
Droid Razr Maxx is the best at the moment in my opinion.
ok!!! IS samsung galaxy not good? is good diea too sell my sensation and buy a note????
There are too many variables to just say what best phone is do you want screen quality, reception, speed, hi, etc. I work for at&t and every phone has its key points. I personally wont own another phone without swype text. Samsung had best screen quality and good reception, fast processors, HTC is good in a lot of areas also, engadget says its fastest phone they ha e tested but that is common on newest device. They dont have best reception though. At least on our network. Check out reviews from reputable websites. And of course if you root and customize you can turn any decent phone into best for you.

I actually own the Note. Be careful mate, if you go for the Note there is no turning back. Many smartphones out other, many choices. With the Note the difference is not on the performance, the advantage is the SCREEN. Its the best I've laid hands on, no way I can be satisfied with another divorce again. Even s3 is "small" in my palm right now!
Now seriously, go for it, you won't regret it!

If you don't want to make the uber leap to the note I can vouch for the galaxy Nexus as the best device I've ever owned. And since its a nexus you'll be more likely to get the latest software releases . Happy choosing

nexus have small screen but note have 5.3 inch HD super AMOLED screen and the awesome S pen i really need and like the s pen!
Actually this how u choose a smartphone..... first you need to choose the best phone... the fastest and those which last long... second choose a phone that consumes lesser battery... lesser battery use will make phones last long... and lastly choose the cheapest but the best phone......... GOOD LUCK
Hi XDA,
I Wanted To Buy a New Phone Which Is Good And And Has enough RAM For good Multitasking. I Can Sacrifice Some Money . I Had Samsung Galaxy Y Duos ( GT-S6102) It Just Sucks I Did Everything For Getting Good Speed. I Would Personally Like HTC But If You Have Some Suggestion Just Throw Them On Me. And Please Do tell Me If It Is Highly Customizable Or Not.
And Yes My Budget Is 20K To 25K 25000. :fingers-crossed:
Should I Wait Till January Or Not?
If you want to buy a phone I would prefer using Vanilla ANdroid..I was using a HTC and it sucked..You can get Nexus 4 or wait for Nexus 5..Google offers Good quality Smartphones for low price..I bought a nexus 4 myself and I am happy with it..
That's my opinion..
Thanks For the Reply But

Well OP, depending on what you wanna spend for quality phones, i would either recommend you a Samsung Galaxy S3 or S4 or a simple Nexus 4 phone. The Nexus 4 has its price slashed due to a upcoming new release of the Nexus 5. The Nexus 4 can even have the capability of upgrading to a newer android version if available which is a "golden" capability of Google Nexus devices. So the phone can always improve itself through updates. The phone is also great for multitasking. And the back of the phone and the phone structure is gorgeous, a must get, enjoy the Nexus 4.
I suggest to buy Samsung Galaxy S4, although I have not used it, but I have heard many people praise this phone. :laugh:

My son has decided to get a G2 rather than Nexus 5 as the price is identical now. There are many discussions about bugs with 4.4.2 (knock on etc ) and voip not working. I just wondered what had now been fixed and what problems still remained? It seems a no-brainer getting the G2 at the current price over the Nexus 5 - is it the right decision?
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
I was in the same scenario as you.
It all comes down to personal preference. Price-wise they are pretty equal now, some sites have the N5 priced higher than the G2 lol.
How I look at it: N5 for highest XDA support, guaranteed fast firmware updates and if you want a smaller screen. G2 for bigger battery and more features built in.
I went for G2 since I dont have anything against the LG UI so I havent even rooted mine. No lagg at all experienced with stock 4.4.2 for me and I'm enjoying the phone as it came out of the box. To me it seems like I got more value of my money since they are priced so equal now.
Plus, I have previouly owned a Nexus 4 and I just hated its screen colours. Personal preference as mentioned, but you cant really go wrong either way since both devices are great
Oh, and the knock on thing on KK bug only appears to some right after the update. Its fixed by updating the touch in the hidden menu. Takes a sec.

I was at the same condition with the guy above. Owned a Nexus 4. Loved it. Rooted, themed, custom romed, xposeded anything you can imagine. I did everything with it but it never gave me same satisfaction as my G2. I was going to buy a N5 but when I saw G2 I fell in love with it.
Unlike me, my son will just want it to work out of the box and has no interest in rooting etc, so I guess he has made the best choice.

I've just gone from the Nexus 4 (running CM11 nightlies) to the G3 and love it. Seems weird not feeling I need to do anything to get it to be the device I want it to be. Apart from rooting I've pretty much left it as it is.

Since the day I bought it (November 2013) I literally had 0 problems with this phone. Everything works (I can't say the same about VoIP, though, cause I don't use it).
NB: I own a D802
I had a Galaxy S3 (AT&T, not i9300 - wish the development community was even 1/5 of the size...) Basically used AOKP and my favorite KToonsez' KT747 Kernel with his own app KTweaker. Also used Quantum ROM, built ground up based on CM11 and was the first 4.3 aosp rom! Dude made it so sick it was way better than Samsung TouchWiz. Those were the days.
Now I run Cloudy S3 and use an lg based stock rom unlike EVER. Also Dorimanx 8.8 Kernel!

That's my only gripe about the g2...i miss my KT kernels...hated Samsung though and had cm on it from day 1
I vote N5 because it has better dev support, as do all Nexus devices. Honestly phones that aren't Galaxy S or Nexus see support die off quickly.
Transmitted via Geass
I also had Nexus 4, which obviously has better development support but with poor battery which always made feel incomplete. I was chasing all battery saving tips all the time.
I know Nexus 5 has better development support compared to G2 but has a battery that is 16%-20% smaller. So really you will have to decide whether development and ability to play with latest stuff is more important or longevity is more important.
For me choice is was straight forward so I chose G2.
I appreciate what people do for development but for me it also became overwhelming with Nexus4 with flashing and finding right ROM, which sort of became self-unfulfilling prophecy of right ROM .
I have VS980 and haven't moved from Stock in months, except for few root tweaks such ad Greenify and Xposed modules.
So in the end, you gotta decide for yourself what's important and make that a choice.
Haha I completely agree, thats the disadvantage of high XDA acitivity. I had the N4 when N5 was out. I remember some N4 users were starting to say that development for N4 was slowing down because of N5 and yet there were 20+ threads that had new replies every day lol. Flashaholics all over the place, I didnt know what to start with so I just went for the easy solution - famous custom stock ROM called Purity. In all my N4 time I probably flashed 4 out of 150 ROMs lol
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda premium
I have N4 and few days ago i decided to bought one more powerful device between N5 and G2, in my country the same this 2 devices have same price. I choiced G2, have more features than N5. Everyone choosing what she's like.

I still gotta buy it but idd washed out colors we're bad but that could be fixed with Color profiles and or with The Tardis where 3 profiles were included i thought. RohanM I get your feeling also about batterylife & Camera especially in night but stock android that was also the huge Dissapointment for me because when you browse the N4 Android development forums there are only All stock android like roms only with some features more so i was getting annoyed of it and switched to miui although the batterylife was horrible there and late notifications.
Still gotta choose G2 Or N5. In my opinion with awesomeness G2 but with durability N5. With durability i mean the protection/flash risks/display problems maybe.
But philevy your son better needs to get the G2 cause its also more user friendly in my opinion then the N5 and if he doesnt like the G2 Stock then he could always change to something like Cyanogenmod or mokee idk.

Well, the S3 is still a very good smartphone with a very good camera, but it wont receive any updates from samsung...
Work is in progress and I think, when the KitKat for the LTE version (I9305) will be released, it will become very stable
I think its worth, chek posts here, there are something like this question, there are more answers..

From my point of view it doesn't worth to buy s3 in 2014 and I will tell you why, don't get me wrong it is a good phone but not extraordinary.That 1 GB of ram is not that capable with 4.3, or 4.4 sammy and the bad exynos processor bleahh, so I advise you not to buy S3, or any Samsung( it is a totally s*** ), now depends on how much money you have for your new phone

Maybe take a look at the S4? It costs around 300$ if you find the right seller
Now I would buy a nexus 5, a little bit more expensive but it's a really nice phone.
After a S1 and a S3 I also need some changes.
Yosh,
Don't forget the LG3.
G3,S4,NX5 all of them are expensive in my country.Maybe G pro has same price as SGS3.Will try to look up at right seller.

Hmm...don't know what to say I used a HTC one s and at that time I had a s2 as well and the one s was more faster, cooler and the battery was much better so I remain at my point of view that Samsung is no more a big manufacturer, at least for me... )
And if I would to buy a new phone I definitely choose a AOSP phone, like nexus 5 or ONEPLUS ONE
Sent from my GT-I9300 powered by ArchiDroid+ArchiKernel
I'd also say don't bother. The display's picture quality is rather poor compared to the competitors at the time and all of the current gen high-end phones. My phones wifi is defective, effectively giving me 2-3m range. The back peels off and the fake metal plastic rim gets damaged very easily. The led indicator is only good at displaying R, G or B, as it doesn't mix effectively at all. The display and resolution needs to be a bit larger, as the lack of quality makes certain tasks difficult. I'd suggest a bigger display anyway. The Samsung official software (I'm currently using S5 software), is rather lacking, it hides useful Android features and gives a plethora of useless features which are poorly organised into categories.
I'm considering getting a new phone. It's hardware is pretty good, but it could be so much better in every aspect.

Get a g2. Port over sense and collect that $1000 bounty. Then get whatever phone your heart desires
No, Don't buy it. If u want an older smartphone choose the HTC One M7. S3 is just too outdated imo and I hate touchwiz from samsung hence why I have AOSP
If I were you go I'd go for Moto G.If from older devices: HTC One M7,also if you can look at HTC Desire 816 (if price in your country of it isn't very high) if price is too high you can look at HTC Desire 601.If you wanna be update to date with Android updates choose Nexus 5 .Just everythng depends on your needs. But Galaxy S3 won't get official Kitkat update (so officially it abandoned and forgotten by Samsung) also,Sudden Death syndrome bug (it will only depend on luck if you will get affected or not affected by it)
Hey all,
Like some other fellow Nexus 6P users here I'm sure you are getting curious of what other phones are out there, that can please our every geeky need.
But I just can't fine one - everything I want is in this phone!
I have been looking around but yet I always keep drawing up a pro's and con's list in my mind and can't help but sum up the 6P as having:
- Great battery life (once tweaked accordingly)
- Dual speakers
- Perfect display
- Fast and reliable
- Great size
- Access to latest Google updates
- Great camera (the best I've had on a smartphone)
- Etc.
Though despite all this, the desire to at least 'window-shop' and look around for the next greatest phone is still there. The new Xiaomi Mi Mix looks interesting, as I feel like I could go bigger on the screen size. Same with the Phab 2 Pro, the 6.4" size appeals to me but then seemingly I'd lose out on the great camera (low light especially) and the dual speakers.
Anyways I thought I'd start a thread to hear some other opinions on this, if any other released/to be released phone has almost got you swayed into parting with the beloved...
Sorry
But calling Nexus 6p screen perfect
That's weard
The screen is ****
Really old AMOLED with bad colours
Coming from a 2013 Droid MAXX, the screen is perfect for me. Guess for someone coming from a Samsung Galaxy would feel differently.. but yes, this phone is just about perfect. I especially like the camera's low light capabilities.

Haha.. glad to see I'm not the only one who looking for another phone but hard to decide bc I too love my 6P.
Been thinking of the One plus 3 not really a upgrade but something different but waiting on the One plus 4 . But it's gotta have good Dev support and the One plus definitely has that.
But still looking at others as well.. undecided bc my 6P has been a perfect fit for what I like in a phone :/

I too am pretty dang content with my 6P, esp. with some of the "Pixel exclusive" features we've gotten
However, I won't deny that the 4GB/821 specs inside the Pixel XL are tempting at times...but I'm thinking I'll either get my wife a normal Pixel to upgrade her GS6 edge and wait to get myself whatever comes out next year, or just wait on both of us till then. I'm not as against the Pixel as some, but I'll admit that $870 (+ tax) for a 128GB, similarly-sized phone is a bit of a tough pill to swallow for me personally lol
I had the pixel for a a few days and returned it because the price difference to performance from the 6p felt negligible to me. 7.1.1 on the 6p fixed a lot of quirks I had and flashing the pixel stuff over made me more than content to keep the 6p thru this year. Looking forward to seeing what HTC has in store for their next flagship.

Indeed, that price tag is a hefty one and one that I cannot justify spending.... at least not yet anyway. I would miss the larger screen and the speakers, being the real tangible difference. Like you say, features have/will come our way with software updates, but I really do appreciate a great sound and nice sized display - yet to find this elsewhere though!!?
The "bezel-less" Xiaomi Mi MIX does look like a nice phone. So that may tick the box of size, but would the screen quality be as nice? And the speakers? And the low light camera capabilities?? Not sure on that one...
The Huawei Honor Note 8 looks good too, very big screen which I think I'd like, but overall just don't think I'd be as happy as I am now.....
Dam restlessness eh!!
I'm definitely glad I went with the 6p also. I don't mind spending the money upgrading. Was looking at note 7 or iPhone 7 plus. But the price for the Pixel xl to me I couldn't do. I just can't put the Pixel in the same category as the other phones.

lol do you own a Nexus 6P? The display is the exact same as the Galaxy S7 screen. They only difference is the S7 screen is set a few nits brighter. Deep blacks, vibrant popping colors and great contrast. Maybe you have sRBG turned on for "true colors"? If not maybe you just have a sub-standard quality display on your phone.
there is no doubt to the nexus 6p is good device but not the best in my opinion! maybe so hard to believe but my ex device (htc M8-32 g) is far better! at the least for me!
here is some reason: I've multi rom with 3 base of Android (kitkat/lollipop/Marshmallow) and switch between the without any issues. (sense rom, google play or CM base rom doesn't matter! all of them work perfect!)but if this don't convince you let me tell you the custom sense rom developers in htc really perfect (most definitely the Viper rom of Venom groups plus insertcoin roms and sky dragon roms) having too dozens options for customize and in the end better quality of speakers and headphones sounds and have a great sound batch like Harman/Kardon sound batch and no come up short in battery even with a smaller size of battery and too smooth without any lag. may rest in peace my dear M8! ??
sure I know the nexus 6p's camera to far better than M8 but I'm not a mobile camera user and need very rarely to it
however I like my nexus 6p and one of the best device I'd
sorry for my bad english-noob language

That phone does look like a nice one for its time, there's nothing wrong in holding love still for such a device! I'm in the same love for the 6P right now, for me, the best its been ever for a mobile device. But as theres only so many roms to try, my flashoholic nature starts wanting to wander into the 'next device' territory......whatever that may be haha
I'm keeping an eye on the Huawei Mate 9 Pro up coming announcement November 4th...

I'm definitely glad I went with the 6p also. I don't mind spending the money upgrading. Was looking at note 7 or iPhone 7 plus. But the price for the Pixel xl to me I couldn't do. I just can't put the Pixel in the same category as the other phones.

The Pixel XL is the same price as the iPhone 7 Plus. It may not be worth the money to some but it is the best Android phone to date. The 6p is great I still have mine but the Pixel XL is fantastic. If you like Android and could spend the money on an iPhone 7 Plus but not the Pixel XL. You need to get your hands on one and play with it. If you can get a 6p cheap it is hard to beat for the money.

If you are into rooting/modding, you can easily fix this with a custom kernal to your liking.
Answer the op. Nothing beats Huawei mate 8(soon 9) when it comes to overall phone but you have other issues to deal with. While im waiting for the Mate 9 to release and after I broke my Mate 8 I had to find a phone to hold me over.
Nexus 6p
Lg v10 and maybe g3./4
Note 5 but doesnt have enough storage for me.
Couple of other chinese phones but you lose lte most of the time.
Nothing really unless you want baby note aka s6/s7 edge.
For my personal taste, maybe axon 7 if the community is behind it. Note 7 if that whole thing didnt happen.
edit- If an updated version of the 6p ever released with half the top/bottom bezels, It would be the goat. Any htc is not in the same realm as 6p
My 6P battery was degraded. I think to change to another phone.
But I still finding...... :silly::silly::silly:
Sorry but the Nexus/Google phones have one thing that will keep me....Project Fi with CDMA-GSM LTE Switching. No other phone can do it because the software just isn't there.

lol do you own a Nexus 6P? The display is the exact same as the Galaxy S7 screen. They only difference is the S7 screen is set a few nits brighter. Deep blacks, vibrant popping colors and great contrast. Maybe you have sRBG turned on for "true colors"? If not maybe you just have a sub-standard quality display on your phone.

Samsung devices have a "SUPER AMOLED" and the difference is noticeable. I came from a note 4 (2014 release) to a nexus 6p(2015 release) and I saw the difference in screen right away. Nothing beats a Samsung Galaxy screen, even if the nexus uses a Samsung amoled screen. I can barely see anything on this screen in the sun, which was never a problem for my note 4. Other than that, nexus 6p is a solid device.. I got it for $330 for the 64gb gold. I probably wouldn't have paid more than $350 for this device thou. Definitely feels like a downgrade from my 1 year older note 4 (sadly I broke it).
Coming from a lg v10 I was decided between a lg v20 and this phone so I bought the 32gb 6p then I'm like ok this phone is awesome but I had one problem. Internal storage was only 25gb on the 32gb variant I filled it up within a week or two then I'm like ok great phone I'm getting 128gb. I bought my fiance the lg v20 it is a awesome but the roms available for the Nexus 6p is way better than the lg v10 or 20 I had the lg v10 before this 6p. The difference is amazing, the lg v10 was slower and couldn't even keep up with me.
The only thing better than the 6p is a 6p with 12hrs SOT
