Some of you folk are rich or you sacrifice other things

And plan to have the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2013) for five years or so; may keep the Nexus 4 even longer if its still useful. I want my next phone to last 5 to 10 years. I dont change for fashion. Whatever I get in the future will be Android by Google; no more carrier phones for me.

I compared the S3 and S4, HTC One, Note II, and Nexus 4 on Phone Arena. The Nexus won out because it has what I need and want, no more; it is pure Android. The Google S4 and HTC One still have more features than I want.

What I really want is get a handset, no OS, and I can select the OS and install it. When will Google do that? When?

google is not a hardware manufacturer. even if it were to become one, it would only be pushing android or any os coming from them.

trying to decide

I am having trouble deciding between the Moto X and The Galaxy S4 on sprint. also considering waiting on the Galaxy Note 3. I have always preferred nexus devices but for obvious reasons that isn't an option on sprint. I have a galaxy nexus currently and have been facing major hardware issues lately namely being signal quality and battery issues regardless of rom even on stock. I think there maybe some underlying hardware issues with my particular device. I am not concerned with sd expand-ability or replaceable batteries and feel like 16gb is more than enough for me. The S4 has some really nice features but most would be lost as i would flash an AOSP based rom almost immediately, while the Moto X is nearly stock out of the box. The camera is a sticking point for me though. i need a good camera that can be used on the fly when my better point and shoot is not around to get shots of my kids. I have seen reviews stating that the S4 camera is best but then some stating the moto x "can be" as good in some instances.

At this point i really feel like I could walk into sprint and flip a coin and be satisfied either way. I just need some help deciding on a device and would like input from the community here.

Also not looking at getting the HTC One as every HTC device I have since the Touch Pro on sprint has had major issues for me personally.

My big question in regards to the S4 is about the radios, does Samsung still have "weak" radios? For example my GNex can be 20-30 feet from my router and with direct LoS and still only be able to pick up a 1/2 strength signal at the most.
[General Topics] cfchong:
just confirmed from my telco operator, Maxis in Malaysia, that I do not need to change my sim card.
[General Topics] krayma:
OK, I visited my providers website (O2 Germany) for infos. I have an old sim card and can only use it for UMTS with HSDPA. My plan says max. 21.1Mbps. My sim card won't work with LTE, but newer sim cards for 3G will work with 4G too. So it seems to depend on the sim card and maybe the provider if they are compatible with 3G and 4G.

Lenovo P770

is the best "Professional" smartphone.

Big screen 4.5"

Fast enough dualcore 1.2GHz

Big Battery 3500mA_h

Low Cost compared to competitors

Android Jelly Bean 4.1

2 Sim cards stand by

If you need a smartphone, think about you need power and this has the best battery on the market. At least 2 Days on 3G use with 2 cards (normal use). It's not fast to play but fast enough for business application.

Recommended.
[General Topics] Mac of York:
My Note II has a strong radio, so don't worry about that. I know what you mean though, my previous phone was an S2 and that had a weak radio. Anyway, I'd go with the Moto X as the battery life for only 2200 mAh is incredible and it's an amazing little phone. S4 is a good phone as well, but I think you'd be happier with the Moto X from what you've described. Besides, Active Notifications and always on google now ... just dealbreakers, man.

It will most likely be a Nexus 5 (if they manage to keep the price as good as it is with the N4.) If not i'll probably wait till Apple increases their screen size and then a while for the price of such device to come down to an acceptable level.

[General Topics] ktt4510:
It didn't seem to matter what ROM I was using. Keep in mind I was on Sprint's version of the GNex. No matter what I do the signal quality is poor at best.

In keeping with my original question I think I have decided on the Moto X, just a shame that I can't use MotoMaker. Hopefully Googlrola decides to release the individual parts for sale at some point to make up for being shortsighted and allowing an exclusive on one of the more hyped aspects of this device. I looked at the ifixit teardown and it is one the easiest devices to repair that I have seen recently. I would gladly void my warranty to buy the colored parts I want and do the swap my self. But by then the warranty will be voided via boot loader unlock anyways.

Thanks for all the input.

Ok.

I thought of this because at 1st, when i got the gnex, it had a carrier tweaked "stock" rom installed. The signals were very weak and device was slow. As soon as i got on genuine real stock rom, the difference in the signal reception and was surprisingly better and the device was definitly smoother.

Just sayin'

I've decided on HTC One X

Gonna get rid of the. S3 mini and keep the mt4gs close.

I can't find any justification in spending the extra $ on a One.

My main phone is an iPhone 4s currently. But I can't see myself using an iPhone without jailbreak. Whereas I find it easier to get along on an android device even without root.

I've had to stay with a much lower iOS version to preserve my tweaks and the newer apps are for the newer/newest versions only.

Also fed up of waiting for simple things to be added like a pop up menu to toggle radio switches. They took over 3 years for something like that I think should be standard.

Which is the best andorid phone to buy

Dear All,

I am using Xolo Q800 since 8months and want to change my cell.

Please advise me which mobile to buy in comparison (Specs) with Q800.

Sometime i feel samsung, LG, HTC or Sony would be better, these branded sets also has their unique UI, by default apps, but in the range of Q800 these brands don't give the latest chipsets & hardware. So i start thinking & searching of unbranded mobile of XOLO, Micromax, Huwaie, i Ball andi, etc. But again doubt arises on their loyalty.

As I had bad experience of Micromax & now days my Q800 has started to show its real face.

I thought of root it but I scare of rooting.

Kindly help me to take me out of this confusion with your vast experience of mobile world.

Hey,

I'm having a hard time choosing between the S4 and the HTC one. First of, let's explain what I'll be using it for:

Posting pictures to facebook and stuff

Some gaming

I list ALOT of music (most important)

Now I know the differences, that the One doesn't have a SD slot and the camera is pretty bad, non removable battery.

It'll have to last for 2 years, so that makes me lean towards the HTC One, but on the other hand you have no additional storage and a worse camera.

Is the camera really that bad?

Can anyone give me any advice?

[General Topics] w1nter456:
First of all, is camera your primary concern? If yes I would suggest you buy s4. Although s4 camera better than one doesn't mean one camera was bad. It is still great even you are a photographer. It is still better than most devices out there.

2nd if you listen to your audio priority, I would suggest HTC one. HTC one front stereo speaker and loud sound quality really make a difference if you want to enjoy your music sound flow and etc. Not that s4 sound quality was bad, it is just not as loud as HTC one and the speaker placement a bit strange on behind compare HTC one front.

3rd gaming. I would not prefer anyone of them, because both of them deliver great gaming quality and graphic, because they are top high end anyway and easily capable running high intense graphic games. Although s4 slightly better than one.

SD card and non removable, it is not that important anyway, millions of iPhone user without that option not complain about that. Moreover, one have larger 32gb and battery capacity. I personal will prefer one for your case, unless your really care about camera. Are you the user care about software features, great camera, sd card, removable battery, thinner and lighter phone? Or are you the user care about build quality, display quality(good for photographer), great sound speaker quality and speedy lag free phone? You decide.

DUUUDE! How is the HTC One's camera bad? Its the best in the market beside the 1020 now... it has the best camera but S4 has the best effects (filters etc.) HTC one has good sound too.
