Same here....Unless you're with Big Blue or Big Red, we always get 2nd rate phones it seems

While I think Nexus series set's the "year standard" for new devices over the new year I think better devices are out there. The way I see it new devices are going to be more sophisticated and rooting is going to be that much more intense to do. I was ready to walk away from my current device a couple of months ago, but rooting has brought new life and enthusiasm to my current device.

Hard to say what my next device will be....

My next phone will be waterproof; that's for sure. :cool:

I'll try to hold on to my GN until late next year, when I'll see what's come out (ideally a waterproof Motorola Nexus that, unlike Samsung's, is up to spec*).

I'm actually interested in what Google throws out with their new Motorola this year. Hopefully it won't tempt me too much ;)

*i.e. not compromised with half-assed specs or shoved aside in favor of the SG3. While the GN is still very attractive for its futureproofness - I'm sure I'll be able to almost immediately get Jellybean on it, for example - it doesn't feel like Samsung is really trying with this one.

HTC screws over the US

haha...AT&T gets screwed but dont care cuz im w/ T-Mo. HTC chose to release their flagship model as the Worldwide version (Tegra3) & gives them the dual-core (S4) crap with only half the internal only memory (cant be expanded) & a measly qHD screen (One XL)

this is clearly highlighted on their website with the One X being at the top of the other models

if this one had support for AWS T-Mo bands, i would consider getting an unlocked one from Asia/Europe keeping my Amaze with 80gb (16+64gb expansion) + the 50gb for life from Box

Likely SGS3...i have S and S2 and they have been great

Likely gonna stick with Samsung and get the S3 but what i want to know is what other difference do newer phone today (out i past year) and upcoming phone this year have over phones from the SGS and S2 time?

ie...i know we're talking dual and quad core..and that a big difference...and the main difference.. usb space is still either 16 or 32...and ram is 512 or 1gb..

what about the flash drive itself? and the hardware it uses..i can't seem to find any spec numbers on the speeds that today's phones and upcoming phones are supposed to get.. because this is the next biggest hardware piece to make a performance difference. My Galaxy S Captivate has been amazing and because I got it rev'd up and flying at 1.620Ghz cpu with up'd gpu/ram bus and running ICS it has been great and reason why I've used it so long. Really didn't see much difference until now...the ram only being 348 was a bit unfortunate but what the phone did with it was damn amazing.. the speed tests i got from sd card tests were ok but surprisingly low.. 6-10mb/s write and 12-15mb/s ready.. own usb flash drives are 15-20 write and 30+ read and older too..

Does anyone know what difference and how much better we're talking about this hardware spec on say the newer Nexus phones or the upcoming SGS3 and HTC's? I'd love to know because much like on a pc, when the other hardware specs start leveling off, the hard drive speeds are the next biggest bottleneck and can make a huge difference! and the cpu's are roughly around the same (and now multi core) and the ram is .5 to 1g but what about the flash drive speeds in them?

If anyone has any numbers or link to this, please let me know because the only way I have found anything is by actually testing different phone myself! and haven't seen much improvement in last 2 years and would love to see what the newer phones are capable off.. but definitely a quad core over 1.5ghz and 1gb of ram is gonna make things pretty smooth...

Android works for me - probably Samsung, maybe HTC

(my this is a long thread - guess you automatically need 'the next' phone as soon as you get your current one)

I just bought the Samsung Galaxy s2 from T-Mobile a couple of months ago. I could have bought HTC Sensation, but I didn't (just liked the feel and out-of-the-box look of the Samsung (personal preference).

I had an LG G2X, but needed WiFi Mail feature, so I switched to the Samsung G2s before the grace period ended.

As for this thread - I'm stuck in a 2-year contract now, but 'if' I were going to get a new Android phone w/ ICS I'd probably stick with the latest available phones until the new quad-cores and any ICS bugs settle down. Maybe until the beginning of next year - just to be safe.

I'm not much for Apples - they always seem a 'little' behind the curve and services are so restricted. I'm a programmer (one of the oldest around) and I like to 'hack', so Android gives me that.

nope, i do too, i just DGAS...also don't give a **** about five billion cores

i always look at every available/upcoming phone when i upgrade every 1 to 1.5 years...at least 50% of my decision lies in how the phone feels in my hand and how it looks, with the other 50% made up of connectivity and price, mainly

i REALLY wanted a Nexus and was disappointed when i heard Samsung would make the next one (the now Galaxy Nexus)....i absolutely refuse to buy a samsung...i have yet to look at or touch one that i have even remotely liked...plastic + kies = NO (add to that every samsung tv or dvd player i've ever had have all turned out to be lemons)

motorola really aren't big in australia so i've never touched a motorla android (do they even make WWE phones?), and sony's start into the android market was a debacle with them continuing to release Donut phones when Froyo was already out...that doesn't leave me with many options beyond HTC

i don't particularly like sticking to one brand, but if they consistently tick all my boxes then i will continue to buy HTC
[General Questions and Answers] Trekest:
Have you seen the Xperia S? That's one thing of beauty. Quite reasonably priced too.

I LOVE my Sensation, bought it on launch day and going to keep it for at least another year-year and a half, it's like a gift that keeps on giving. Makes me crack at least one smile every day.

However should it run out on me (unlikely, though one may never know) at the moment the Xperia S would be my top choice simply because HTC has yet to announce anything yet. Not touching Samsung on principle, simply won't carry a cheap plastic phone for two years.

Build Quality

I think you are wrong about the material quality build of the Samsung devices and HTC ones.

I had an HTC Desire, then I bought a Desire HD, after that I bought a Samsung GALAXY NOTE wich was the best Samsung phone when I bought it but I was shocked by the build quality because I used to have HTC phones and Believe me it's a real big difference in material quality. That's why after 1 week from purshasing the Galaxy Note, I switched back to a Sensation and I'm very satisfied with..

My next phone will be certainly HTC because after using Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Apple iphones but the best phones are HTC phones.

I think the only thing that HTC should improve is the screen technology (super amoled+ or super amoled HD for example).

Sorry for my poor english,

[General Questions and Answers] dr.m0x:
The speakers in HTC phones are the biggest reason I'm thinking of going Samsung next round. My desire HD had very poor speaker and sensation is better but still not great. Its useless to me as a phone if I can't hear it ring in noisy environments like a busy road.

If Samsung keep pushing the screen size up around the 5" mark I may reconsider though. I really couldn't carry anything bigger than the sensation in my pocket.

Or maybe even Motorola will make it, lets not forget its a Google company now.

Amoled is nice, my 2 n1's had different hues though. One was a little more purple.

[General Questions and Answers] 22VIN:
Gonna keep hold of my Sensation for another year (it's only 4 months old and I won't be able to buy another phone on contract until jan-feb 2013) but when I buy a phone I take into consideration the next things:

- has to be a new model which will surely receive updates

- big and high-def display, preferably LCD (I don't like amoled colors)

- metal housing (or at least high quality materials, ordinary plastic is not an option)

- preferably Android or iOS as the only second option

So:

- if HTC keep their word and start focusing on quality not quantity I will buy their next flagship

- if Samsung's next flagship won't be made out of crappy plastic I will be seriously considering it

- if the next iPhone will have a min 4" display I will be considering it
[General Questions and Answers] EricDET:
I don't see what the big fuss about build quality ie HTC > Samsung. In fact I feel almost the opposite. I've had a Vibrant and currently an Epic Touch 4g (business line) on the Samsung front. And have had an Inspire and currently Sensation. My Sensation is rickety and creaky noisy when holding it. Just as much as my Vibrant was back in the day. Sometimes more. The inspire had that giant camera protrusion and an impossible to manage battery cover without ripping your fingernails off. My Epic Touch is superior in almost every way I can think of to my sensation. Build, screen, feel in hand, os smoothness. I know its not a direct feature but the resale value on the GS2 far surpasses that of our sensation. I can pick up a sensation locally for $200 and would be lucky to find any iteration of the Gs2 for double that. That's eye opening considering they cost the same new.

From personal experience I can't imagine my next personal phone Not being Samsung.
