Hi guys

which one should I get ?

LG Optimus G E975 471$ or LG Nexus 4 E960 449$ ?

I want to get LG Optimus G E975 because the Built-in storage is 32 GB

and from gsmarena benchmarks it's faster than LG Nexus 4

I want to get LG Nexus 4 because I'll get latest stock android and because I think it looks better

I didn't saw both phones in real life only on the internet

LG Optimus G E975

+ Built-in storage is 32 GB

+ Faster

- It Will not get latest stock android (currently on JB 4.1.2 & I think it will not get any more update)

- It doesn't look very good for me

LG Nexus 4

+ It will get latest stock android

+ It looks better for me

- Built-in storage is 16 GB

- Slower

btw what do you think of LG ? is it good brand ?

thanks

(Had been hoping for the Nexus 5 before it turned out to be a fing gigantic brick of a phone with a way-too-small battery)

Here's what I am looking for:

- top end specs

- smaller than a Galaxy S 2 (I think 4.3 - 4.5 inch screens are perfect size)

- good/great battery life - I couldn't care less about thin; make it thick and beefy but give me 12+ hours of talk

Sorry to bother all you but really need your opinion. Thanks

Which Sony smartphones (Z1 , ZR , Z , ZL , Xperia S and Acro S) are the best on Sony line now?

And of all of them xperias which one has the best camera quality based on tests, reviews and users?

(Because for example, on gsmarena tests, i compare and i think ZR, Z and ZL have a better quality camera than Z1.)

I like ZR but still doubts...lol

Like Nexus too but not have best battery / removable, and not have better camera quality.

And about battery on gsmarena tests say that ZR is The best of them all, and of all smartphones too, better than Samsung S4, better than HTC One.

Only Motorolas RAZR Maxx and LG G2 have the best/same top specs and are better on battery than Xperia ZR.

Please can all guys here help me with your knowledge, experience and reviews/tests?

I really need a phone with my top priorities are:

- (really importante) Future proof with updates and great Development custom ROMs / open or unlookable bootloader ;

- (really important) Best battery or one of the best on markets, preferable removable battery.

If not removable, really need to be the best or one of best.

- One of The best camera quality.

Do not need to be The best camera like LG G2, S4 or HTC One.

But really good camera similar or second to these Top cameras, if it have the best battery than S4, HTC One and Top devices.

These is my 3 top needs requirements really need.

And The Last one, is that need to have similar measures than for example my actual smartphone Htc Desire HD , 123 x 68 x 11.8 mm (4.84 x 2.68 x 0.46 in).

Just on width equal or less than 68 , just width is important. Other measures can be bigger not importante.

Really thank so much too all your help. The more are The replies/opinions, better is and really I thank you so much.

Cheers

About buying a new phone, i can't understand why vendor like Motorola, HTC, Lenovo always prioritize to sell their products in Europe and US market than Asia, for example like Indonesia or India?

From the population number and buying power, these countries can't be underestimated. India is no.2 most populated country, Indonesia is no.3

Many people here afford to buy Moto X, HTC One, Nexus 5 but since these high end line not very much available (except for Samsung and Sony high end lineup), people have no choice.

What should I buy?

Priorities:

1. Budget: USD 320 or less (which I think rules out all superphones and recent Nexus devices)

2. A variety of third-party ROMs available and actively developed by competent developers (plain AOSP similar to SuperNexus and/or up-to-date CyanogenMod preferred. I don't want to be left behind with crappy manufacturer ROMs that are never upgraded!)

3. Excellent battery life (with active use, need to charge less frequently than once a day).

4. Preferably dual core (i.e. favour battery life over processor speed).

5. At least 1 GB RAM (i.e. not 512 MB or less RAM which would make ICS or JB less usable).

6. Preferably at least WVGA (800x480) resolution.

7. Not a phablet (4-4.7" is probably OK) -- not that I can get a decent phablet within the budget anyway. :)

8. Preferably has removable microSD (mostly rules out Nexus devices).

9. WCDMA/HSPA+ (LTE doesn't matter as much, though if it is available that's a bonus).

I'm in my mid thirties. I don't game, and I don't care for UI bling or great performance specs. I need it to be a phone, to be usable for messaging, email, browsing competently, and to be useful for location/map stuff and note-taking. I favour standard ROMs like SuperNexus that are close to stock AOSP with little cruft (I even tend to rip out the CM-specific apps when I install CM) -- stability and battery life over all else.

What should I buy?

I cant decide between the Nexus 4, GS4 or G2 (tmobile) just left Verizon and sold my Note 3, they ruined it for me (and the whole not picking up the nexus 5 thing was the last straw, Verizon are such douche's), Was thinking about getting a Note 3 again sicne the bootloader is unlocked on T-mob, but I rather get something more Dev friendly. I was thinking the Nex4 and then in a week or whatever when the Nex5 comes out, just return the 4 and pay the difference, between the two.

And then I was also looking at the G2 tho as maybe an Alternative to the Nexus 5. The Gs4 is pretty cool, but I already had one, and after having the note 3 which is a GS4 on steroids, it wouldnt be the same just going back to it. And I also just really want a phone with on screen nav buttons instead of physical/soft keys. So I guess G2 or Nexus 4 ? and is the bootloader unlocked on the T-mobile version of the G2, i know they are using the Loki exploit on AT&T & VZW, but I thought the T-mob would have it unlocked by now.

and can anyone tell me what the status of the Bootloaders on both the G2 and S4 for T-Mobile, is right now. I know the S4 was unlocked on T-mobile at one point, but I was on verizon then, and the G2, I know uses the Loki exploit, is that teh case with T-Mobile too ?

Dilemma!

Nexus 5 Vs HTC One Vs LG G2

Making a trade off is becoming very difficult. The more I dwell on it. The more confused I get. Can you guys please help me out here?

Here is my expectation or usage parttern for an Smartphone

Usage Pattern/Expectation (For a Day)

- Wi-fi -> 4 Hours

- Phone Calls -> 1 Hour

- Chat Applications -> Running in the Background most of the time (whatsapp, fb, imo et cetera)

- Gaming -> 2 Hours (FIFA 14, Asphalt 8 et cetera)

I mention the points for each of them which I feel is unique to them that I like followed by their cons.

Nexus 5

Pros

- Instantaneous OS Updates

- Unbeatable Price (for top end specs)

- Good Screen Size { I say good because 4.7" is perfect for me and this phone has a 4.95", Don't want phone greater than 5"}

Cons

- Battery { Official Site says 8.5 hours on wi-fi alone, 3-4 Day users review of nexus 5 has the battery giving a screen time of 4 hours. This is a big concern}

- No Stereo Speakers/Sound Quality

- Delay in Release in India [ if I had to import it from elsewhere, what will happen to the warranty if anything happens to the phone? ]

HTC One

Pros

- The Best Build Phone in Business

- Boom Sound, Front facing Speakers, Beats Audio. Enough Said

- 4.7" Inch Full HD Screen, Absolutely perfect size

Cons

- Delayed OS Updates

- 4 'Ultrapixel' Camera, Pinkish Tint issues with it

- Availability in India [ Single Sim variant 801e is not available in India Since July '13 ]

- Fluctuating Price. A little on the higher side.[comparatively]

- Battery Again [2300 mAh is not enough]

LG G2

Pros

- Battery. 3000 mAh Beast

- Brilliant Performance (Specs)

Cons

- Screen Size [ 5.2" is too huge for me to handle. And it is a major turn off that I cannot get used to ]

- Price. Slightly on the higher side [comparatively]

Warranty Questions (if Imported)

- I know HTC One has an International Warranty which again is being refuted in many Service Centers in India. Is this the case?

- Will Nexus 5 Imported (Which I think will be the case most likely) have a valid warranty in India?

It would be of great help If you guys could help me in making this choice. My current phone is conking out. And I cannot change phones frequently hence the need to decide with more caution.
[General Topics] Eun-Hjzjined:
^^^ It's between the HTC one and the g2, IMHO.

I'd go for the HTC. Mainly because it sounds like you already choose to get that option anyway.

The pinkish camera is not really of concern, to me anyway, but if you can get it locally it's the best option.

Importing offers allot of doubt; warranty, repairs, carrier frequencies, damage while shipping, etc.

It also offers allot of choice, as you can import almost any device as long as it works OK on your carrier.

The 5.2"display on the g2 isn't a problem, when choosing between the HTC and the LG, as the physical size of the devices is very similar. If you can reach the uppermost corner with one hand on the HTC (if you've held one), you can almost certainly do the same with the lg.

I'm not taking about the screen, I'm taking about the body of the phone.

Here's what I say: if importing is the only option, the LG. If the HTC is cheaper locally than importing it or the LG, the local choice is best.

choosing budget phone

Im looking to buy a new phone...

There are a bunch of really cool cheap phones (less than 200 usd) from chinese websites that have 1gb ram, quadcore procesors and hd cameras and screens... i could choose one of those and have a phone supposedly as good as a nexus device...

However, probably aren't that good or have a few (a lot) of kinks and quirks...

So i ask the community to recommend me a phone that:

Is lower price than the current lowest priced nexus device (the price the nexus 4 or 5 with lower memory)

At least dual-core, 1gb ram... so the performance is not too slugish...

Must run at least jellybean 4.1, but preferably be up to date to 4.2.2, i want to change my phone cause mine is ics so has no google now...

Must be compatible with koodo mobile service, preferably unlocked... koodo sells nexus 4, so wherever nexus 4 works i guess might be compatible... must work the 3g network, chinese phones only work on 2g...

Must have community support, supported by cyanogen, paranoid or some custom rom that will keep it alive with aosp

My current phone is the gt-s7560m, which is 1 core, 768 ram, 4.0.4 ics... in store had a value of 150can, but its "free" with contract...

I doubt it will get any update... even miracle kitkat that will fit nicely with those specs

Phones seem to go from expensive outdated crap (like my current) to high end overkills (like nexus 5) with no inbetweens...

Or is there one i dont know?

Thanks guys!

And on my htc one I shut off as much as possible remove all social media as much htc bloat as possible get to bare minimum because this is like my laptop. I"am a multi tasker and the 1.7 is ok for the regular one but come on the max should have a 2.3 also, why call it max if the processor is not a max processor its an out of date processor its almost a year old technology.
