hi guys,

my contract is up for renewal on three uk & I'm stuck between the note 3 &the z1. really what I'm looking for is sound quality. it seems everyone has gone over all the details for both except what audio chip either is using! I can't find that info anywhere! does anyone have any ideas?

Heey all,

I currently own a HTC Sensation and I'm almost at the end of my contract so I can upgrade to a newer one. What do you recommend?

The things that annoyed the most of this phone was the limited amount of RAM (768MB) and the battery that got empty way too fast (Li-Ion 1520 mAh battery). For my next phone I'd like to see at least a decent amout of ram and battery (at least around 2100mAH). Plus if possible a quad core, but a dual core would also be an option. Since I can't afford to pay a lot per month for my phone, I can't choose any of the flagships (ie HTC One, Samsung S4), so I'd like something on the high end, but it doesn't have to be the newest of the newest. Right now I'm angling towards the Samsung s3, but since I don't have an extensive knowledge of other phones I'm wondering what other/better options there are. So in summary what I want in a phone is:

Decent amount of RAM

A good battery life (at least around 2100 mAH)

Quad core if possible

An active ROM communty (I love to try out different Roms)

Screen not easliy cracked (I see a lot of people walking around with big phones, with their screen cracked)

Good speaker sound for music

Best phone under 4.3"

Hello there, dear friends.

I had been a happy user of my HTC Desire since July 2010 when I bought it. Unfortunately, it recently started randomly losing signal, with the same ROM version I’ve been using for a while, so that means it’s time for an upgrade.

The problem I find with current options, it’s that there are no longer phones anywhere!!! More specifically, I can only see 4.7"+ phablets (don’t call them phones, please, at that size they no longer are not just that), which are really not what I want. I want something I can comfortably hold in one hand when vertical, that is, 4.0" minimum, 4.3" maximum.

I want the best one you know of that meets that requirement. As for other features, I’d like it with LTE (my country supports AWS and 1900MHz for HSPA+), and if I had to choose between screen quality and camera, I’d prefer the former.

Please, help me with your experience which phone I should upgrade to for this year.

Thanks!

Quad-Core?

Hi all,

I like good and fast phones, and I will buy one, but best specs are on monsters to big to wear. My phone needs to be always with me, and that means: it should not be too big. 4.3 inch screen is max for me.

Now there is one phone that is especially on my mind, and that is the xiaomi Mi-2s, with nice specs (as there is no xda-developers-forum, this is it) - one of the few 4-core-CPU-phones in 4.3 design and from the pricing point accessible for me.

But is it worth it? Is quad-core really what I should be looking for? Or is it just an energy-sucking thing that is neither used by apps or the android-framework? Would it bebetter to go for a dual-core S4 mini, and profit from LTE, SD-card and NFC? :confused:
[General Topics] persano:
you know tooooooooooooooooooo little about that phone.

1. it dont eat too much battery (last more than a day of use)

2. its a great phone

3. use MIUI (it isnt slow, it is like optimized)

4. cheap, but fantastic

some dual cores eats more that quadcores. is a snapdragon 400 vs a snapdragon 600. 4g is good, but, in all the other specs, xiaomi wins

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Xiaomi-Mi-2S,Samsung-Galaxy-S4-mini/phones/7887,7788

hope i helped

HSDPA+ (4G) 42.2 Mbit/s, is that 4g ?
[General Topics] AnMotass:
XPERIA SP or MOTO X?
[General Topics] No-New-Phone:
Yeah, I run miui on my Desire S for like two years now, and I love miui. Still, it is not only 4G that I am missing, it is manly SD card support (would not be much of a problem if 64gb version would be available). When I go to our local phone dealer browsing the web with different phones, I am not able to notice any difference between dual and quad, but still quad might just be the more future-driven choice.

So, cores by themselves are nothing without a software that is able to use them - that seems to have something to do with sandboxing and dalvik. So, is quad the way to go or not?

Should I buy a phone at this time or wait a while longer for a better? I've been thinking about the S4. I want a good reliable, fast, smooth, great reception/data phone that will last me a 2 year contract.

Nexus 4 or Zopo (or...)?

Hi, I would like to replace my aging (and slow, and frustrating) Samsung Galaxy Ace with a new Android smartphone.

I'm not a heavy phone user, so I don't want to spend 500 € for a phone. I would keep it under 250 € if possible.

But I want a device I can trust. I'm very demanding regarding performance - I'm not talking about speed, I mean that for example I hate my Ace because from time to time its connection or bluetooth stops working and I have to reboot it.

I'm very tempted by the Nexus 4, I can have my brother get it for me in UK on the Play Store although I live in Italy.

And at the same time I have a few friends who recently bought Zopo devices and are very happy with them - but maybe they're not demanding like me, who knows?

Nexus 4 pros:

I can get it for around 240 €, a very good value for its features

By Google, which means clean OS and best OS updates, which I like very much

Widespread, so you can easily find accessories for it

Nice screen size

Nexus 4 cons:

Made by LG, which I don't trust at all

Non removable battery (and also no SD slot, but that's less important for me)

No Italian warranty

How important are the LG and battery cons? Is it actually a high quality product, and can you live with external chargers always with you?

Any other cons?

Regarding Zopo, any opinions here?

I'm confused as which model should I point to... my friends have 5" models but I would prefer 4.5"-4.7". For around 300 € you can get very powerful models but I'm not sure you can get good ones for less.

Thanks for any info!
[General Topics] iDelta:

[General Topics] TiTAN-O-One:

Nexus 4 is the best phone for that price period. It still runs smoothly and fast. Development is fantastic. Don't worry that it's made by LG not had any issues with mine. At the price at it is now it's worth the purchase. You'll get KitKat soon too.

I'm between the htc one, gs4, and the lg g2. The top priority for me is the best display (most color accurate). I'm coming from the gs3 where the colors were a little over saturated and tinted but still a great display overall. I really want the most accurate colors this time for pictures/video. I've really heard mixed reports between the one and the gs4, some say the one is the best, then i just read this cnet article about how the gs4 in movie mode is more accurate than the one.

Obviously too soon for the g2 at this point but i'm curious how it compares.

I would recommend waiting for the Nexus 5 that is rumored to be released on October 14, along with Android 4.4 KitKat. The Nexus 5 like all Nexus devices will have a very large selecting of ROM's including official Cyanogenmod, AOKP, Paranoid Android, as well as other great ROM's, Kernels, MOD's and many other customization features. Since you also mentioned you use the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit the Nexus 5 will very likely have several toolkits available to perform the same functions as the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit not to long after the Nexus 5 is released. If you absolutely have to buy a phone today I would recommend taking a look at the Nexus 4 it also have a very large ROM selection, along with Kernels, MOD's, and many more customization options. The Nexus 4 also has several great Toolkits available to easily root, unlock bootloader, etc. a couple of the Nexus 4 Toolkits such as mskip's toolkit and wugfresh's toolkit.
