I wish there was a new (newer anyway) that has a nice processor (fast and smooth) and a 5 inch screen that is under $200 without a contract.... Haha! How's that for a list? Lol! I don't qualify for an upgrade until March '14 and I really dislike AT&T and want to go to T-Mobile for their unlocked phones but I don't know how the service is in my area either.

I know its a clone phone but the Bear Pro is essentially the HTC One rebranded with straight android (running a newer version than the actual One) micro sd card expansion, wireless charging, same screen and processor as the One with the outright cost of $250. I'm grabbing one along with a Bear Basic

[General Topics] zelendel:
Be care with clones. They seldom have the hardware they state they do. It will not have the same chipset, it will most likely end up being a subpar MTK chip. The Android version is not an official version and these clones have a hard time getting Google apps to work.

[General Topics] persano:
mtk chipsets are good too!
[General Topics] imitenotbecrazy:
I mean, its probably the most advertised clone I've seen in the US as the Basic is a replica of what the budget iPhone is supposed to be. I could see a serious shiitstorm go down if they don't have the snapdragon 600 they advertise. I bought an iPhone 5 clone that was dumb cheap and ended up flipping it for more (not pawning it off as an iPhone though lol) so if Techdy screws people over with the Bear I'll just end up flipping it. BTW the iPhone 5 clone I had ran everything I had on any official phone. I even had a simple root method for it.

Take a look at what they actually advertise for both phones www.techdy.com

Hello, I quickly need advice. Im going to buy new phone (previous xperia x8). And I don't know which Arc S or sony xperia J.

Arc S has bigger screen, and it's cpu is 1,4ghz, The J 1ghz. But one my friend says, that xperia J cpu is better than Arc because it's new.

1.4 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8255T Snapdragon (Arc S) vs. GHz Qualcomm MSM7227A

Someone said that Sony J is better choice because it has longer support. But Arc S screen, processor, GPU is better than The J. I think, I don't need the support, because I'm going to root the device, and flash roms, kernels, etc. That is I think...

And I will actually get a new phone next summer,and it is definitely going to be HTC,because I tried both Samsung and Sony,and HTC has the most beautiful looks physically and in case of the software.And who knows,in my country at Christmass,operators give contracts and phones 50 % off price.So I pay the phone half the price,and I pay half the amount of the contract for 2 years.That way I save about 500 dollars,even more. :D

Used Note 2 off Swappa to replace my i717 on T-Mobile, either the T-Mobile or AT&T version. When I get that I'll probably ditch my two i717's, my T-Mobile S2, and my T-Mobile 7.0+. Bleh. I'll probably get the Note 2 this fall, though I'll be watching to see if the next Nexus is a phablet and sturdier than the current one (Nexus 5 Active? :D). I don't care about the whole Nexus thing that much but I like the prices. In this scenario I'll be staying on the $30 T-Mobile plan. VOIP on LTE is actually acceptable!

I've also always considered going with a solid dumb phone and a data enabled 7" tablet OR a voice capable tablet but there's nothing out there in any of those fields that really grabs me.

Get the Nexus 7 2.0. Killer specs for such a nice price at $229.99.

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

Ok, I am willing and able to buy a new phone or like new device when I get my next paycheck and then I will offload my Nexus 4 to replace the difference in my paycheck as close as possible. Here's my question. I have a spending limit of $450, and I would like to know what phone to buy? My cousin would help me get a Xperia ZL for $425-$450 in Canada brand new unlocked with a Canadian warranty (just longer time period to get an exchange from US.) I could get a like new Galaxy Note 2 for around $425. I can get a brand new Blackberry Z10 for $425. A Lumia 920 is possible too. I can also return to the S3 brand new with LTE this time instead of the T999 T-Mobile og version. I want my phone to have 720p as the screen resolution, LTE, a good camera, a decent battery, 2GB of RAM if possible, and a good processor. So the Note 2, ZL, Z10, and S3 are my top choices. What do you guys think?

Hi,

I'm about to get a new phone, have some exp with using custom roms (had CM9 on Droid3, although it didn't work too well because the hardware sucked).

Now I'm wondering what to get next:

- I value freedom above all (unlocked, ability to run own ROM/software... Ubuntu Touch capable a plus for the future)

- Dont really have a spending limit

- Open to having a tablet with SIP/Gvoice instead of an fully fledged phone (not sure if I can find a US carrier to sell me a sim with data only for a phone though)

Any help is appreciated... tried to look at Nexus 4 vs Galaxy S4 Nexus, thought the former was probably better in terms of freedom / Ubuntu touch, thought the latter was more flexible and powerful in the long run (cpu, ability to change battery).

Thanks for your advice.

If stuck on Verizon, Droid DNA or Galaxy S3?

If you were stuck on Verizon would you get the Droid DNA or Galaxy S3? They are both currently $49.99 w/ 2yr contract. I don't need the latest and greatest that is why I always get a generation behind when upgrading for a lower cost. I'm currently running a rooted Droid 2 :crying: Specs wise the DNA is better, but down the road I want upgradability to the latest OS, not sure who will keep their devices updated longer, HTC or Samsung, and I know getting the latest OS won't last forever. Also looking for community support if I decide to root and flash the ROM at some point, seeing as more people have S3's and the DNA is a Verizon exclusive, development might go further with the S3.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

I'm currently in the market for a new phone. I would have purchased a Galaxy S4 DE but they're sold out like crazy. I was then looking at the HTC One but I'd want the GP edition (not available on VZW, my carrier). They're going to release "their new family of droid phones" in a few days, but my question is this:

If you have to pick between a locked GS4, HTC One, or Moto X which would you go for?

The development for the phone behind the scenes (like you see with the Galaxy Nexus, my current phone) is a must and I'd like a much better battery than on the Nexus.

But just like you, i want something with a much better battery life. So i'm looking at the Droid Ultra Maxx as well, for that reason. The Moto X will have a smaller, non-removeable battery (2200mah) and lower specs than the rest of these phones. The other specs don't bother me, but it's battery for me. The Maxx probably won't have as much development, but it probably won't need it either (it'll have the fastest cpu and best battery life of these options).
