I'd get the Galaxy Nexus too - my contract runs out in January so I might have a bit more choice then but I live in the UK so can't currently buy from Google Play store - shame as their price on the Nexus tablet was pretty good. Re-sellers for the phone seem to add quite a bit on here.

Top bad the carrier and phone manufacturer's hasn't figured out a way for us to use multiple phones with one number. I know google voice can do a little of this and I have a couple different cell phones that use it so I have a backup. Sprint's integration makes it a little better but it isn't a perfect solution. I personally would buy a couple different types if phones if there was a way to natively use one number

You mean nexus X?

Since the won't call it nexus 6.

But if you like the aosp style.

Why not consider oneplus one?

It's cheaper and better than any fone put there atm!

Uhm. Lol.

You do realise why nexus line is cheap right? They cut corners on hardware.

Take the very bad camera... Battery... Bad screens.. Lots of bugs etc etc..

Not to downgrade the nexus line.

But it isn't top notch in the hardware industry.

Then the HTC one m8 is a better choice for example!

As I said before.

As of now there is no better phone than the OnePlus one!

[General Topics] teonagode:
The only bad thing with the Nexus ia the cammera and battery and yes the M8 is better as it was later released with newer hardware and the One Plus One will fail when the Nexus 6 arrives and it's not a cheap phone the price is so low because Google is subsidizing the price on every device and the built quality is better then all Sammy devices that have predceded the S5.

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 AM ----------

Forgot to add there are no bugs on my AOSP stock ROM and I don't have any problems with the screen as my unit has a latter hardware rev. that has fixed all the previous flows and yes the Oppo is the cheapest device to get right now but when the N6 arrives then oppo is dead, and it's the same with the One Plus One that you get what you pay for as a lot of people have reporting problems with unresponsive screen so it ain't wise to say it's a better device but still I respect your opinion ;)
[General Topics] innomi:
So..

To conclude. The n6.

Has a lesser camera, back and front!

Lesser rom memory.

Qhd wich is useless and drains more battery.

The snap 805 wich is currently unknown of the real specs. Since it's not been properly tested.

The battery would be lesser to since all nexus phones have a reputation of having the worst battery's.

About the bugs I mentioned. I meant bugs in hardware. And all the bugs in the complete nexus line. Since I was saying that nexus cuts corners. I was speaking about every nexus ever made.

I'm not a big nexus fan as you can see.

But then again I do like the idea they had from the start. Deliver nice mid range phones for some cheaper price then the rest. That is a nice way of doing business. Especially in a time with overpriced iphones.. Sammys... Etc..

But then came oneplus one a half year ago. And reinvented hat complete system.

Why cut corners to be cheaper?

Let's jut put full pure hardware in a phone and be cheap!

I certainly hope for you that you are right about the nexus6/nexus X but I do believe that there will be massive complains again. As with every nexus fone.

At least with my OnePlus I know I have the best phone there is atm. And only payed less then half of the closest competitors.

Im in the tech business for years now. So that's how my opinion has formed about nexus. Don't wanna be rude so apologies if I come across rude.

Everyone has a favorite. And if the nexus line is yours then great :)

What should I buy

Hey all I am looking for some recommendations for what my next phone should be. Right now I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and I am looking to upgrade and want to know what anyone on here would recommend. Here is what I am looking for

Better specs than my S2 Skyrocket

Under $200

either large internal storage or have a Micro SD card slot

I would also like it to either be the same size or preferably a little bit bigger than my S2 Skyrocket

It also needs to be easily rootable and have the ability to have a custom Rom on it such as Cyanogenmod

Needs to work with AT&T and have 4G LTE

I have been looking at an S III or possibly phones from a company called BLU (Bold Like Us) but was just wondering if there were other recommendations for under 200.

Thanks,
[General Topics] teonagode:
And again you forgot to read that the Oppo is having massive complaints from it's customers about touch screen and yet they do nothing about it, I was reading the other day about a guy that has been constantly trying to get a replacement phone and yet still Oppo technical support is saying have you tried resetting the phone bla blah over and over, as I said the One Plus One hype is over after the G3 came most of the people just moved to that. And please tell me again what bugs if you don't even own the phone how wold you know as I said earlier that the built quality is even better than Samsung's phones and yes I can see that you you are a Nexus device hater. And prove that Nexus 6 will come with a QHD screen that was the leaked Motorola Shamo and as we all know google is not going to release a N6 devicd with 5,8 inches as they aren't crazy as most people will hate that size as it's too pig only some would be keen with it. Only do I agree with on that It will have less internal Memory. And it's only selfish to say the best phone as every person has it's own different opinion ;)

Couldn't agree more, just like how China phones are much cheaper and better build quality as compared to their counterparts like samsung, etc.

Not to mention the more recent ones available this month and next are mostly at a minimum same specs as the LG G3 - 3GB versions
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
None Chinese phone is better build than the M8, such of quality doesn't exist in Chinese phones.
[General Topics] innomi:
You do realise that almost every phone is made in China? ;)

So they can get a good look on how Samsung. HTC etc is build and rebuild it for another brand. Take oppo for example. That's not a bad brand.

HTC for example isn't even an a brand in China but a cheaper b brand!

[General Topics] marcusloke:
Hahah I totally agree on this point, not only Chinese phones, but NO phone in the world now (well that I know of) has a better build quality than the HTC line of One(s) and in this case the M8

But not to look down on the Chinese, Meizu, Xiaomi and ZTE are producing flagship models that have excellent build quality as well, and for prices 150-200 less than LG or HTC or Samsung's flagship, they are not to be overlooked, especially with a few that are currently available or coming out soon, using the same 801 procs and 3GB rams as well as QHD screens and offering more internal mem

What are you talking about again HTC is a well known brand in the world praised for it's built quality and great design and besides who cares about China which is only an emerging market, the highest smartphone sales in the world are the U.S and the European market.

And as i have already told you the N6 when it arrives will wipe the floor with the Oppo device.

HTC is the premium of Android just like Apple is with iOS.

Everything is everytime high-end at HTC's side and other brands/chinese phones are having a good screen but not good hardware and another chinese phone will have as example good hardware but a worse screen.

HTC is having it all on a unique way ;)

November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !
[General Topics] marcusloke:
Yes we are fortunate to received better quality HTC One (for me it was a M7), mine only had that camera glitch which was fixed when I sent it in. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, the M7 had many disastrous technical issues as mentioned in Wall Street Journal (you can google it).

However my experience with a M8 that a pal has was very good, hence I said "in this case the M8" on my post.

I hope with the current M8, HTC will be able to gain more grounds on the smartphone market (fell from around 9% to 2.5% start of the year), as I really like how the phone design is, especially the feel of the matte metal unibody cover.

As for China being an emerging market, errmzzz ... well it has been the World's biggest Smartphone market by volume since 2011 according to BBC, 2012 world's biggest smartphone market (de facto) according to Forbes, 2013 World's biggest smartphone market by BBC and this year 2014 CNBC / Forrester Research, Inc. still maintains that China as the World's largest. All these facts from credible sources can be google-ed.

I reside in China in total more than 1/2 a year in total, as I am married there. Therefore I can see mark improvements and those tongue in cheek design rip offs and whats not from more known international brands. In fact I am amazed at how fast China is playing the catch up game, and now currently being able to release similar spec phones (in terms of hardware) with good UIs and good quality less than a couple of months after the big boys like Samsung / ETC does.

Well just my 2 cents
[General Topics] bbgarnett:
Hey thanks for the suggestions but neither the Cubot or Redmi have 4G LTE or even 4G they look to have just 2G and 3G and the Vivo Xshot isn't even available to buy at least from what I can see and what I saw is that when it is it will be like 500 bucks which is well over $200 dollars. But thanks anyways.

I guess the Redmi note is also going be being made into a 4G LTE version but it's only out in china and it said chances were very slim that it'd see the U.S. market

I can do that but was just looking for suggestions either way as I really don't need high end specs and was just looking for suggestions around $200 and under with decent specs or just specs better that my S2 Skyrocket.
[General Topics] :
The Moto G. ?
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
Ah okayy but also for people that desire only low specs, are the HTC phones the best choice because of the user friendly and future rich use of the phone.

November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !
[General Topics] bbgarnett:
Now I am not saying I desire Low Specs per say but knowing that If I root my device and load say Cyanogenmod onto it will probably significantly boost the performance of phones that aren't the latest and greatest. I mean I am very happy with how my S II skyrocket is running now that I have rooted it and put on CM 10.2 and a lot of lag that i was experiencing before has seemed to dissipate and surfing the web seems to be speedier, obviously loading on and using apps such as Greenify and seeder etc etc really help the cause. So basically I could probably get by fine with my current device as long as it's rooted and so forth but too there are some things that'd be nice such as a slightly larger screen maybe around 5 inches and one with a higher resolution better than the 480X800 my phone has now.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

Moto G might be nice but it's only 8 GB with no expandable storage and my S II skyrocket has 16GB internal and that's not enough so I have a 16GB Microsd card in it as well. Also Moto G looks to work with Verizon Sprint U.S. Cellular boost mobile and cricket but I have AT&T so not sure if it'd even work anyways.
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
Than go for the HTC One Mini 2 ( €360 ) it has a bit better hardware than the S2 and 4,5" screen.

And there is of course CM11 available but I'm sure you wanna keep Sense 6 :)

If you want a 5" screen than you should go for the M8 ( €600 ).

November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !
[General Topics] :
Well, for 200 bucks.... You won't find much that's new and any better than your S2.

The moto G does have a 16 gb version.

Also, I think you may need to buy used for your needs and price range. There's the moto X, N5, N4 and yes, probably many other devices. The Nexus devices will give you easy root and tonnes of development.

But new... You won't beat the Moto G in that price range for what you get.

Sounds to me like you should just keep the S2 until you can up your price range... To get a worthy upgrade.

Just my 2 cents.

Edit : the AT&T regular moto x model can't be unlocked, and if it's on current android version... No root. Lower versions have semi root... But with write protection enabled. The moto G may be the same if they have one.
[General Topics] bbgarnett:
Yeah I never said it'd needed to be new and maybe I forgot to put that or say that but yeah going used is perfectly fine so that could have been my bad. But maybe I'll just have to wait and keep what I have for now. I have been heavily looking into a company called BLU but they only have one LTE device but it is like 200 bucks. But don't know if anyone here has had any experience with them. Also I could maybe just upgrade a little to the S3 as I have seen them for around 170 on swappa and my current phone goes for like 100-120. I assume the S3 would be just as easily rootable as my S2 Skyrocket was too.

here is the blu website though

[General Topics] :
Definitely do your homework on this before you buy. Don't assume. Especially with Samsung. They are continually making their devices harder to play with, root and what not.

And any "No name" devices will be a challenge to find development for...if there even is any.

Have to weigh your priorities. I gave a Moto X to my wife, that she just loves, cause I was bored. Got an N5...which has a crazy amount of development for.... Then got an HTC one m8. Made sure I could unlock and root first though... And there is decent development for it. For my priorities... A little less development than the N5 was outweighed by the better device overall.

;)

My wife thinks I'm nuts.

Hmm well my brother has a OPO and he hasn't really had any problems with it whatsoever and he seems to like it a lot. The only problems he has had was at first he had no mobile data but I adjusted his APN settings and he was able to get 4G HSPA+ but then we just went to AT&T and got a new sim card and he gets 4G LTE just fine now. he had a iPhone 4S before which didn't have LTE so that's why he was having that issue. Otherwise the only other thing is that he couldn'/cant't get his phone to connect to his Bluetooth speaker which is just some random brand even though his iPhone connected fine. but he only spent a few minutes trying.
