Update:

Initial reviews of the Galaxy S3 make it most likely that by the time Orange UK stock them, I'll be in upgrade territory and almost certainly abandoning HTC.. A few friends are already drooling over my DHDs (mostly the suckers that got Wildfire or Wildfire S) so they'll live out a long & fruitful retirement....
[Desire HD General] oddbin:
Galaxy S3. Got 6 months but to buy it out isn't that much so might just bail. Not that impressed with HTCs support and I have xda to thank for how good my DHD has been.
[Desire HD General] nexy33:
Love my DHD once it was rooted and a custom rom on it was like a new phone it still rocks but the build quality and probs with the one x is putting me off have a month left and have registered for an s3 have xda to thank for how good my dhd has been it sucked with 3s bloatware
[Desire HD General] jadeim:
I'm happy and actually in love with my DHD, but when the proper time comes I'll be aiming at the SGS3. It looks promising.
[Desire HD General] MoHi96:
Probably the One X.

If I had to pick right at this moment, I'd get the HTC One X. I love the new Sense 4. It doesn't get in the way anymore. Rather, it helps you. TouchWiz...not so much. However, my upgrade is October 25th, so I don't know what will come out between now and then. If it's not something mindblowing, though, I'll just get the One X. It'll be heavily discounted by then.

As for the SGS III, I'm not impressed. Especially since it's also going to have the Snapdragon S4 for the US version. I felt like Samsung was going to do better. But in my opinion, the HTC One X is a better phone.

All that said, I really do like my Inspire. My only two gripes are battery life, and the lack of a front facing camera.
[Desire HD General] clouds5:
Its gonna be a tough one...

I love my DHD but its gettin old :) Scratches all over the place and there must be alot of dust inside of it :D So i'll get a free update anyway in 2 months. I hate it that 4.7/4.8 seems to be the standard for display size nowadays... I like the one X and SGS III both of them look nice and especially the SGSIII offers all i need, but i played around with the One X in the store and it just feels too big somehow. SGSIII has the power button on the side at least, but that notification bar will be far away^^

So i'm really hoping for the Huawei Ascend D quad XL with 4.5" screen.

Feel free to comment on your thoughts about the screen size, and help me with my decision :d
[Desire HD General] Hunt3r.j2:
I'll probably be looking for:

1. 1.7 GHz+ Snapdragon S4 Pro, TI OMAP 5, or Samsung Exynos 5.

2. S-LCD2 or better @ 720p, no bigger than 4.7"

3. Camera equivalent or better than One S/X

4. microSD

5. Decent battery life (6 hours screen on time?)

6. Latest Android OS

7. Unlocked bootloader

8. Preferably Sense, but if HTC really can't get it together then I'd just run with Samsung or whatever is good.

I really like HTC, I really do. But the fact that they just give the finger to development and don't really bother listening to their customers (microSD slot and at least a big battery if nonremovable) makes me shy off. Maybe next year we'll see something good.
[Desire HD General] dhtlarmon:
The new iPhone when it comes out. I bought the Inspire right when it was released so I'm due for an upgrade on July. I've loved my Inspire but I need facetime and the stability that iOS provides. Im sick of Google Maps and other Android bugs. I'm rather upset with the lack of updates for our device, especially with ICS. We shouldn't have to depend on devs here to release ICS ROMs, and ones at that that do not have videocam support due to Google and HTC not helping.
[Desire HD General] basboy33:
hmmm, i dont know.. i have the DHD for 1 year now and i have to deal with it for another year :) i hope HTC has another great smartphone next year to choose of :P then i'll see
[Desire HD General] Techlogi:
I think the next phone will be an HTC again, but only with a good battery an working gps.

Both really suck on my DHD... . :(
[Desire HD General] accesser:
That's how I understand it yes, I was watching a Eee Pad Transformer Prime Review they talk about the new Tegra 3 inside the prime some interesting info if you want to have a listen

I am looking forward to a qwerty. The DROID 4 does justice to my needs.. :D
[Desire HD General] m4rk1c:
I gave DHD for a year now...with custom rom and it's ok for now. My next phone will be HTC Ville...seams good enough for me. :D
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:
Even though my first android phone was a HTC but I've used a touchwiz device before

Touchwiz ain't got **** on sense, Sense is amazing

And for.my.next phone I'm going to stick to HTC because they have an amzing build quality their designs are sleek and sexy yes Samsung have better screens etc but if I'm gna use a £400-£500 phone it has to feel like the aluminum shell on this makes it feel like its worth the money unlike the plastic.feeling that Samsung provides.

[Desire HD General] panyan:
im seriously considering the Galaxy Note,

i want more pixels than the DHD, but the galaxy nexus has disappointed me because it isnt really a proper google phone :(
[Desire HD General] smartzac:
If ask about my next phone, I am gonna stick with HTC but still waiting for some kind with larger rams n roms. Ville maybe? :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] dvhttn:
Got the DHD for another year yet, in theory .... just rooted it and loaded AR on it so no problems at the moment. But on renewal?

a) probably quad-core - as long as they've got at least the battery life of the DHD. If quad-core is new next year then it's obviously the setup to go for to last a while.

b) something with the form factor of the Sensation. When I've handled it in the shop it feels better in the hand than the DHD.

c) a screen you can see in daylight!

d) higher res. screen - almost a certainty if rumours are to be believed (Macs going to 2500x1800 - ish - and most laptops going 1900x1080 etc)

All I can think of at the moment ...

Interesting how us how many of us HTC owners like the build quality I'm also one of them I love the way the DHD feels in the hand. I paid top $ for mine outright unlocked unbranded when it was new and it still to this day feels like its made to last.
[Desire HD General] ponk2k:
I'm not sold on the sensation to be honest, my wife has one and the only thing better about it is front facing cam. Build of the dhd feels superior all round, sure it'd be nice to have a better screen and more cores but it just doesn't feel that much better than my dhd. Plus I'm not a fan of browsing on it due to the screen shape. The dhd feels like its got more real estate because of its shape to my mind.
[Desire HD General] arknailed7754:
Mate,this grates me about current phones,theres way to many doing the same thing lol im sure also theres not much else they can do with phones...serious lol tech in general needs to calm itself down

Going by "Moores Law". where the number of transistors on a chip can be doubled approximately every 2 years, and that in about 15 years or so we would've hit the limits of miniaturisation at the atomic level, I'd say that 10Ghz is the fastest we'd probably see in a single chip on a phone.
[Desire HD General] panyan:
we wont be producing silicone chips in 15 years, new technology will have come along that will make silicone redundant so we could have a 1THz chip in our phones made from some new material

when technological breakthroughs happen, it actually moves faster than moore's law :)
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Not dismissing your reply, but I'd doubt you'd see a 1Thz chip on a phone. :)

I personally think the 2.5Ghz Quad-Core chip (rumored) in the upcoming HTC Zeta is a bit overkill. I'll be getting that handset BTW.
[Desire HD General] dvhttn:
Actually, the point I was trying to make, unsuccessfully I suppose, was just that I prefer the shape in my hand. That is, it's just more convenient for me to hold than the DHD. Could just be the size compared to my hand size I suppose, but other reviews have mentioned the shape being better to hold as well.

Dave
[Desire HD General] ponk2k:
have to agree to disagree then. i just feel it too long. i guess i´m just too used to the dhd shape thats served me so well :D

i do think if you watch movies etc then the proper widescreen on the sensation works great but as my phone has overtaken my computer in the browser use stakes i just think the 15:8 ratio works perfect, any thinner and in landscape you´re constantly scrolling
[Desire HD General] mesut19:
Probably the Iphone.

No joke, I love this freedom, but I miss the 'stock & simple' look & feel. Also the app store is mutch better quality in my opinion. But hey who says you can't use 2 phones? :')
[Desire HD General] atrako1973:
gs3 i like the fact that , you can take the battery out ,there is an sd card slot unlike the one x, samsung always seem to top the last release unlike htc they seem not to know what they are doing , i mean samsung has 2100 ma battery ,htc likes to manage power consomption with software tweaks well HTC THERE IS NOTHING TO MANAGE ON 1500ma battery it will always be 1500 ma and htc dont have a problem doing a step backwards and release 1230ma battery on next release

galaxy s3 cant wait
[Desire HD General] clouds5:
So this will be next year i suppose, 2013? I personally really dont care about the clock/amount of cores in a CPU. Right now they're all fast enough to provide a smooth experience and run all the game perfectly. All i care about is energy efficiency and production size. I think the S4 DC (29nm?) or the exynos QC with 32nm are the best cpus atm. They also say the exynos that will be in the SGS3 has very good power management. I have Tegra3 tablet and i like the power of the tegra but i dont think its the most efficient cpu.

And about high clock speed, yes it makes the cpu faster but also hotter and it will use alot more power. If they bring me a 1.4ghz cpu that runs everything butter smooth it will be better than a 1.7ghz because it will consume that much less energy.

Btw right now it seems i'll be going for the SGSIII. They have the power button on the side, and you can turn on the device with the physical home button. This means i never have to reach the top of the device so i think i could live with the big screen after all. Only the notification bar could be a problem :)

And i've checked, our DHD is very wide/broad (which is correct grammatically? :D) for a 4.3" screen with 68mm. The SGSIII is 70mm wide so it will basically only be a change in length, where the SGSIII is about 1cm longer. I think i can live with that.
[Desire HD General] Overgr:
Trying to hold myself away from the One X for now. My current excuse is waiting for the next iphone.

Not impressed by the SG3.
[Desire HD General] hopsi:
Exactly the same for me. But instead of the One X I have some problems to hold myself away from the One S! :)
[Desire HD General] mpathan:
I only get HTC

Dont like smasung build quaility.

I will probably get One X in November
[Desire HD General] fishykipper:
Galaxy s3 just like everyone else :-D
[Desire HD General] hp0369:
I'm having Note after DHD.....and next one should be LTE, or maybe SIII LTE if it really works in HK
[Desire HD General] society mike:
Most likely one of the many Japanese Android phones available here in Japan.

Build quality is far above anything from HTC or Samsung, battery life is better than iPhone, cameras are all 12mp atleast, all are water proof, NFC chip, IR, and all are dual core now. Also very light and thinner than anything on the market.

(Fujitsu, Sharp, Panasonic are my choices. Leaning towards the Fujitsu)

Just wish they would release abroad so people can start cooking up roms.

My next phone will be the HTC one X... It's because the htc sense 4 is so nice and I like it a lot, also it's quad core. I don't like Samsung but the S3 is very attractive too... I just need to decide what phone I would like to buy :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] Sinaya:
It will be the S3

I´m going to buy the Galaxy S3.

I had only HTC Phones before. This will be my first Samsung.

The One X looks better, and there are allready good Roms on XDA

But I will never buy a Phone without an SD Card Slot again.

I had that before.

The S3 has also the bigger Battery. :D
[Desire HD General] clouds5:
This.

I thought about it but the SGS3 is just the most well rounded package available. There is nothing better atm for my needs, even though the display size is near the limit of what you can use with one hand. Physical homebutton/power button on the side make this much less of an issue, as with the one X.

On the One x there is basically no way to power on the phone without using 2 hands, at least for me, no way to reach that button up top. Thats exactly the things that are very important to me, because that would annoy me like 100 times a day.

The other candidate the Huawei, simply isnt here yet for comparison. There is just not enough information available at this moment, about the CPU for example. But its 40nm as well so... And of course with the Samsung its practically given that there will be good XDA support.
[Desire HD General] RED_:
Unless a phone comes out during the summer that beats the One X I'll probably get that. I don't like TouchWiz and the S3 is super ugly. I don't any of it's fancy features since I'll be rooting my new phone and things like gestures can already be added to most phones. I hope there is a loop hole like this phone where rooting it takes but only a connection to your PC and pressing one button. Otherwise I'll have to properly learn how to root, not a big deal I guess because I hear the only way to brick your phone is to change the radio which I won't be doing.
[Desire HD General] Indianboy89:
As a lot of people said, the S3 might beat the one X, but Sense is much better than touchwizz, in my mind. Plus, the Htc is better built.

I'll go for a one X for sure :)
[Desire HD General] Kaducey:
Phone

I think I ll use Desire HD until it ll broke. I hope several years
[Desire HD General] MrLarner:
Take it your on payg and aint due any upgrades :confused:
[Desire HD General] L0cke:
Sony Xperia GX or LG Optimus 4X ...depending on price and full specs when released. Nothing else interests me at the moment.
[Desire HD General] MrLarner:
earliest time i can get my upgrade is 3rd august so i have to wait it out for now.

BUT... when that times comes it'll either be sg3, htc one X or galaxy note.

my mind is telling me galaxy note at the moment due to me always being on my tablet.

but there may even be a galaxy note 2 by november, so fingers crossed it gets mentioned before i upgrade and i'll ride it out until then.
[Desire HD General] georgik_222:
I already bought a Htc One X and my DHD is now to my wife
[Desire HD General] Berky99:
You know, anyone on a contract with a 'free' phone is still paying the full cost of the phone (and often then some), as well as the sim minutes/txts/data. This is just done in monthly instalments over the life of the contract.

So my point is, even if this person is on contract, they could reduce the cost of their sim minutes/txts/data by opting out of a phone upgrade.

If you don't believe me check out the cost of sim-only deals compared to the same deals which include a phone. The network operators still have to buy the phones as well!

In fact if you can afford the lump sum, always buy the phone first. Then it won't be network-locked and has better resale value.
[Desire HD General] andys93:
This, i really love my htc dhd so i wont really buy a new phone until it is totalled out and i cant use it anymore;)
[Desire HD General] Polar67:
Firm htc´nian (so far)

I mostly agree. Why htc - oh why (insert dramatic opera music here) did you have to stumble on the finish line and omit the SD-slot.

For now ill hang on to my DHD while praying to whatever deity i can think of that htc will see the light at make their next hero device with expandable memory. I like 16-32 gigs on-board as well but a missing sd-slot is a deal breaker.

If htc stays on the present track (scared shudder). I´ll most likely jump ship to sgsIII but DAMN i´ll miss Sense to tears. Samsung Kies doesn´t get the best of reviews either.

Regards

ELO
[Desire HD General] mnshzz:
I went ahead and got myself HTC One X. My wife uses DHD now., and it's been an awesome phone.....
[Desire HD General] dvhttn:
Posted this back in December ...

With 'b' I was thinking that the Sensation just felt nicer to hold than the DHD and since then the HTC One 'series' and the SIII have appeared. And I'm going down the SIII route at the moment. It fits all my previous criteria PLUS has an SD slot. Didn't mention is in the previous post because, to be honest, I didn't think so many phones would now NOT have one. I'm guessing it's all down to a) keeping the service providers happier with that extra 3G/LTE traffic and b) keeping the Dropbox/Google box/Microsoft box/whoever happy with people buying extra online storage.

I was thinking a 64GB SIII with a 64GB SD card .... !! All it would need then is for Ubuntu to provide their 'Ubuntu/Android love child-OS' on it and you could forget the laptop - just have a Transformer prime type tablet/keyboard.

We can hope.

[Desire HD General] hatashi:
Another HTC or Samsung

I've had my DHD for nearly 2 years now, I can see its starting to struggle on some of the new 3D games like temple run and just general multi-tasking since I have various background apps running all the time (many email accounts, facebook, whatsapp, music) on top of that I would probably be browsing the web or texting / ringing some one. It hasn't got that very smoothness any more; the main reason I love the HTC is because of its perfect 4.3" screen and HTC Sense.

I'm thinking about getting the HTC One X; it has what I want, better camera, faster processor, sense 4.0, beats audio and an even bigger screen :D my mate has it and he's in love with it. One thing that lets me down again is battery life, the phone didn't last him a full day so yeah. I heard that the Galaxy S3 has similar specs and the Touchwiz interface isn't too bad on that either so I might look into that. My contract runs out next month so it's either going to be the One X or the Galaxy S3 for another 2 years!
[Desire HD General] bitcasual:
Sticking with my DHD until atleast December.

That is 2 years for me and that is how long a device should last by my standards before becoming old.

But i think i'll wait untill next MWC and see what new devices there will be.

Or i'll just buy an SG3
[Desire HD General] Bestevaer:
My desire hd is still good enouph for now.

But when a krait 4 core phone comes out with a high res 4.8 inch screen and visual buttons im switching instantly.

But till that day my DHD will/must manage.....

s3

may be S3

it looks great :)
[Desire HD General] Groschen:
I will be going to the sgs2 in the next days. I have a very good offer and i want to try out other smartphones(dhd was my first). I will really really miss htc sense and those great community. I looked at the sgs2 forum and im very disoriented, so many roms! I want to say goodbye, my next phone will definitely be a htc :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] Trig0r:
I'm still not decided on my next one, had the dhd longer than any other phone, some of the newer handsets look nice but there's not really any game changers out there IMHO. I've been told the wp8 stuff from Nokia is going to be awesomeness so might just wait until then and see how the OS stacks up against Android..

Failing that I want something that's at least as powerful as the dhd, 8mp camera, mSD slot, smaller screen...
[Desire HD General] motherninja:
I think I'm going to One X or One S to replace my DHD. But not for now, maybe in the next 6 months or more from now, because I felt my DHD still powerful enough to accomodate all my needs today. So I don't want to waste my money for something not to make a big differences than what I have now.
[Desire HD General] maianh:
I need a phone with large battery

The only one thing that I'm disappoint about DHD is the battery life. 1230mAh is so small for my requirement.

My next after DHD must have a battery more than 2000mAh and card slot. I'm still waiting from HTC for this phone because I'm a fan of them :D
[Desire HD General] eshok:
I will buy an HTC One X
[Desire HD General] Wsullivan:
x2 for the one x, I had a play with a colleagues the other day and wow, very nice and fast phone, personally for me the 32gb internal is more than enough with the only downside the non removable battery, especially since I have had to replace two in this dhd already due to the sun killing them.......

Won't be for 6 months or so though, so by then, who knows what will be out there!
[Desire HD General] Hunt3r.j2:
Next phone required specs (for me):

0. Must come with fully unlocked bootloaders. I should be able to take it home and flash a custom kernel and modem without much fuss.

1. Display must be as good as S-LCD2 on One X. Outdoor visibility would be nice to have.

2. 2 GB of RAM please.

3. SoC's performance must be equivalent to at least OMAP 5 dual core @ 2 GHz, with similar or less power consumption.

4. At least 2000 mAh battery. Removable would be nice, but not absolutely necessary.

5. microSD slot supporting UHS-1 and exFAT. The point of internal storage is much like SSDs in desktop PCs, you use it for things that need fast access (app storage, temporary storage for photo/video recording, etc.) I want cheap microSD for things that don't need to have insane read/write speeds like music/movies/long term photo and video storage.

6. LTE. HTC should really be doing things like they did with the Desire HD and it's brother, the Inspire 4G. GSM models should always all be based upon the same international model, and keep everything as similar as possible, with variants having different radio bands to run on a region's LTE/3G/GSM networks, but being identical for development. This keeps cohesive development communities.

7. At least 8 MP camera equivalent to iPhone 4S/One X. Photos should be as close to PNG quality as possible, videos should be recorded at 20 Mbps or more, with proper stereo sound that isn't awful. At least 30 fps recording constant at 1080p, and LED flash should be the color of sunlight to keep from affecting color of photos with intense brightness.

8. Antenna design needs to be very high gain, and very solidly designed. Wifi should not drop signal very easily and keep very high transfer rates, cell radios should be on par with iPhone 4S' external antenna in reception, GPS should be able to get 6 foot accuracy within 30 seconds of startup and injection of aGPS data. Power consumption of the modem/radio systems should be as low as possible while achieving these goals.

9. MHL and USB OTG are a must. Bluetooth should be on the latest standard, and have all the capabilities that AOSP Android has for Bluetooth. Wiimotes and Sixaxis should work perfectly, bluetooth keyboards and mice should too.

10. It needs to be in a package that isn't bulky and has decent industrial design. (SGS2 look is okay, but I wouldn't really want something that looks like SGS3.)

10. NFC.

I hope that it would be an HTC, but maybe next time I will have to look elsewhere.
