I've been partial to HTC lately, but when my current phone craps the bed, I think I might branch out and try something else. Maybe move over to Samsung? Smart move? Other manufacturers or models that are dark horses right now? Granted, I probably won't switch phones for another year or so, so something might come out between now and then that is a sufficient upgrade across the board...

Guys thanks for the advices.. i was an htc fan boy in the past but since samsung have better battery life changed from htc one x to note 2

I dont like GPE Or AOSP only modded Android

HTC M8 is a great phone.. howerver it doesnt have that interface... still the same..

Actually am planning to sold my i9505 buy a used s5 ( almost new) and just add about 50 $

I guess its worth it :p

M8 is pretty expensive here

Xiaomi Mi4 smartphone

The Mi4 features a 5-inch full-HD screen, a quad-core 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and 16GB of 64GB of internal memory. The device will also run Xiaomi's custom MIUI operating system, which is a skinned version of Android operating system. The mobiles software also allows for more customization and removes the Android app drawer in favor of putting all the programs on the home screen, similar to what iPhones offered

All that and from what ive read no LTE support. .what a waste.

Sent from Canada via my Note 3, Note 2 or One X+
[General Topics] Planterz:
I've read that it'll have LTE, but if it does, it'll probably only be compatible in the Asian markets and maybe some other markets that share bands (which typically aren't the same as North America).

If you're talking about the international Exynos powered S3, that's debatable. Only 1GB RAM, and from what I've read, lag can be a problem, although running CM will probably help a lot with that. The Snapdragon powered models have 2GB RAM, and on the couple I've played with, they run smooth and snappy. Either way, the screen will certainly be a lot clearer. 2.4x the pixels. And I agree with you about the notification light. On my Galaxy Light, it doesn't have one, and I really, really missed not having one, as my previous 2 Androids did. I have a Nexus 4 now, and I'm so happy to have a notification light again.

As for upgrading to the S4, of course it's an upgrade. 1080p screen, much more horsepower. But it's up to you whether it's worth the extra cost. I think it is. If you're looking for something not so expensive, I'll give a plug for what I've got, the Nexus 4. You can get a new one off eBay for $220 (16gb), and it's super-friendly with ROMs and kernels, and the specs still hang in there since you'll be running AOSP ROMs. Only downsides are fair battery life (and the battery isn't swapable without tearing it apart), and limited, non-expandable storage. But it's got a great screen and a notification light.

Whatever you choose, get something with at least a 720p screen. The 480x800 on the S2 is pretty low, and your eyes will thank you.

I hope that the Next nexus will not have an 5.7 screen as rumored because that is considered phablet turf or if Google makes two new nexus the Nexus 6 (phablet) and Nexus 5 (2014 edition) with updated SoC, camera and a bigger battery.

Bad battery life capacity? Lmao. Battery life is releated to soc more. For example both nexus 5 and htc one have 2300mah batteries but nexus 5 has much better battery life. Why? Because nexus 5 is using msm8974 aka snapdragon 800, and htc one is using msm8960 aka snapdragon 600.

Not really, i don't use an SD card for the last 2 years i'm only pissed on phone manufacturers because they charge too much for phones with at least 32 gigs of internal memory and that should be the standard these day and a 64 GB variant priced a tadd more expensive, as 16 gigs is not enough just look at how much money an iPhone 5S costs 16 GB (around 800$ in my country) and Samsung with 16 gigs of internal memory gas only 9gigs available to the user, which is not enough for even three big games (Gta 3,San Andreas and Vice city). So the OnePlus One becomes a device with an excelent price tag for what it offers. :D

I was seriously looking at buying a cubot phone. One of my class mates did and i warn you don't by a cubot phone first of its chinese meaning limited rom options and no ota update (different to huawei) most chinese phones use mtk processors usually quad or octa core. my sister had one and the gameplay was laggy as f***. It is true that it was an quad core but mtk doesnt provide as strong processing power as snadragon or intel chips

My suggestions on a budget are

LG L90 $180 (€170(amazon))

Qualcomm Snapdragon 600

LG G2 (€209(amazon))

Moto X(/G(/E)) sorted by price ~300/~200/~150

ASUS PadFone S, I think. My current (first) phone is Lenovo P780, and I don't like its MTK6589 chipset and hardware navigation buttons. PadFone S has smaller battery, however, so I'm not sure about its usage time. However, having tablet and phone in one is too good for me to miss. :D

I am going for the N4 when it drops. I have had every flagship and the best so far has been the Note 3 and M8.

OPO was ok but the support is bad and the device I had was horrible with lag and then the yellow hue on the screen. Poor device and company if you ask me, sold that device with the quickness. Def not a flagship killer. Yeah it was quick and it seemed like I would have got pretty good battery life. Device just not for me.

S5- Really liked this device despite the negative rumors that everyone gives it. The camera was str8 beast and the best I have ever used on a smartphone along with the screen. The two dealbreakers for me was the 16GB internal storage and KNOX. Im a person who likes to root and install custom ROMS and the S5 is locked down to the max. Really enjoyed the device though.

G3- Phone was also just ok. Yeah the screen was a good selling point and it looks very nice with the LG interface and thats where it stops. Yeah you can watch videos in 2k which was pretty cool but thats all the hype with the phone. I also loved the slim bezels on the device and it felt really good in hand. Camera was pretty good and the laser auto focus worked great. Once again the phone is locked down and not many options for custom roms.

Most of these phone would be good for the average user but for me I need a phone that i can tinker with and thats just me personally. I settled on the Google Play Edition M8 and im satisfied right now!

If you don't like the HTC interface(launcher) it's easy to install the Google now launcher. I do it on the phones in the tmobile store it takes like 2 min. Just Google "Google now launcher xda" you will find the like and download it and install it. I like the Google now launcher because it's clean looking simple and it comes with the "ok google" feature. I like doing this to HTC phones in the store because it really changes the HTC into the look of the nexus 5. No need to root or anything easy

Hi! Which phone would you buy? Lenovo K910 or ZTE Grand SII? I know that the Grand S is better, but the design is too similar to my current phone (V987) and I would like to change. Here are some questions:

Lenovo:

- I have been reading the forums and it seems there aren't a lot of custom roms. Is it true? Also, no MIUI, right?

- Battery? How many screen hours do you get?

ZTE:

- Build quality?

- Battery?

- Earphones? My v987 has an especial jack and you most earphones won't sound right. Does the same happen in this phone?

S5 or G3?

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out which to get the G3 or the S5?

First I need to note that I'm coming from a blackberry but I have owned a the LG Gpad 8.3 for a while now and I do understand a lot of the developing stuff (rooting etc.). I have used the S4 for a while (mum's phone) and recently the S5 (dad's phone).

I'd love to get my hands on a G3 to try it out for a bit but it hasn't been released in my country yet ( LGs aren't too popular in Egypt) so I don't really have the option to try it in a store.

At first I was waiting for the "Galaxy f" but since its always been a hoax I'm just gonna grab another phone that would last like 2 years or something. First, I was leaning towards the S5 because of the better camera, smoothness, water resistance and development. But then I remembered the G3. I've been reading about them and they've been getting mixed reviews people saying this is faster and some others say that is faster so I'm just overwhelmed here.

I wanted a phone with a good camera since I never had a usable camera before and I've been told that the S5 wins by a small margin here but not a huge difference. I also like the water resistance in the S5 but I don't think I'll go swimming with it anytime soon but you can't really hate on a phone that's resistant to day to day spills ( doesn't occur a lot, but you can't be too safe lol).

Now about the smoothness, It makes sense that the S5 would have less stutter since both have the same processor and chipset but the G3 features a QHD screen, but touchwiz is extremely intensive so I'm not sure here. Also, a lot of people say that AMOLEDs are good but others are saying that the colours are more or less fake and hence not too good. Brightness level it's a lot better than LCDs though. Is the G3 usable in broad daylight? I'm not saying I'm gonna be watching a movie in the middle of the day but like normal usage such as phone calls and text messages will I be able to see everything properly? I can barely see the time in my LG Gpad but it's a known issue that the screen brightness is below par, how's the G3 though?

On the other hand, some points for the G3. Looks a lot better, the back buttons could prove fun. I'm loving the knock on my Gpad, prolly will too on the G3. The phone isn't with everyone here which makes it a lot more you unique. It has a QHD which honestly I don't think is anywhere near useful but it's a good brag :p. The 3GB ram should prove useful. I've read with people that it over heats and stuff but it's just opinions.

I have a couple of questions:

A. Did LG fix any problems through updates?

B. How's the modding part of the G3, I won't be using ROMs and such but just a couple of small mods here and there? Is the Bootloader unlocked for the international 32GB model? Does it even matter?

So what do you think is the better option here? I'm guessing the S5 is the safer boring risk free option and LG is the "could easily be great or sh*t" options.
[General Topics] Dapalm:
I would prefer the G3. I don't like Samsung. My girlfriend has the S4 and it is a horrible phone. The camera broke first week, the battery runs dry very fast, lag... I guess the S5 will be better, but only phone I would buy from them is the Note. About the G3... I've heard the screen makes it be slower, but I don't know for sure. Why don't you take a look at the HTC M8? For me it's better than those two.
[General Topics] krusion:
Not really a fan of the HTC, okay I get that it's a lot faster but the camera isn't too good, for me sense isn't nice either. I just feel like the phone isn't able to compete with the rest of the current flagships. Just my opinion I guess.
