Hi,

Sony forget!

Samsung have a very good performance but a have bad UI.

HTC good performance and a very good UI.

I just have 2 android phones (HTC Hero and Samsung Galaxy S) and if I could get the performance of SGS and the UI of the hero it would be perfect.

cheers

Personally, I love all three.

I love HTC's build quality. It's something you appreciate as soon as you hold one.

Samsung. I love where Samsung is going. The Super Amoled/+ is amazing, and once your eyes view it. Everything else is sub-par.

Sony - I don't have much experience with their recent devices, but I'm honestly a Sony fan (except gaming consoles). I have Sony TVs (Even with Google.) My old Sony and SE phones never let me down and were seemingly just as tough as some old Nokias. lol

But that's just my take.

Samsung. The entire Galaxy line is amazing, not to mention the Note. Samsung has amazing screens and hardware. A lot of the iphone components come from Samsung.

Love Sony(tv's, ps3, etc...)but never owned one of their phones.

Hate that HTC is going the Apple route with no sd card slot and also non-user changeable batteries. I actually use my phone and carry around a spare battery with me at all times. Not into the whole hipster, look at what I bought thing, but can't really use it for fear of having to be near a charger at all times.

Samsung: but that's only because of Voodoo. Otherwise: I'd pick HTC. I like how the haptic feedback feels on an HTC device. GPS always works on a HTC product. Performance/phone works neatly as well. The only reason I haven't invested in HTC for some time is because Voodoo has spoiled me.

I wouldn't know anything about Sony since they're pretty much AT&T exclusive over here.

Samsung

I prefer Samsung. In my experience with using custom roms, there is more support for HTC, and more stable versions supported. Samsung has little advancement in its software from Samsung themselves, and need to rely on custom roms to get the best out of the hardware. Sony, my wife had, I hated it. Its only good point I could come out of it, is the music.

I am using HTC. I like the sense!
[General Questions and Answers] voyager_s:
my first android was HTC hero when it first came out. I loved it at first but it was too laggy in the end. Sense may have been partly responsible for that because the hero's hardware just wasn't strong enough to run it all smoothly I guess.

My second android was the Samsung made nexus s. Fantastic device. I still think today that its the best looking most sexy phone on the shelves. Those curves are bad ass still! Performance wise it was very good with AOSP software.

Now I got the galaxy note which is awesome in many ways.

Overall I prefer Samsung hardware wise...specs wise. However touchwiz UX can be a bit annoying at times. HTC sense is the better UI software wise. And I prefer HTC build materials especially the likes of the sensation xe.

Sony...I have not owned any of their android handsets. They look nice though.

For me is Samsung all the way! I own 2 samsung phones...but both are nexus. I hate touchwiz....used to own a gs2, great phone but lacked in ROM develpoment compared to the nexus line. I also own a Sony xperia play...and it sucks in so many ways. I hate so many things in that phone. Hate the physical buttons and overall build quality, specially the yelow tint in the screen....overall it's far beyond my beloved nexus s, specially in software updates and community...they are still strugling to get ics working, locked bootloaders and stuff....dont really understand why people rate Sony phones in the same level of Samsung and HTC.

My next phone will be another nexus for sure regardless of the manufacter.
[General Questions and Answers] SEK610i:
I don't really look at the brand tag. Now I own Sony Xperia arc S, and I don't like it very much so I am planing on exchanging it for Nexus S. From now on, i guess I will only buy Nexus - Google phones, because of their non spoiled Android experience.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Before my i9100 I had a Sensation. In the first days I was satisfied with everything, but the running time could have been better. HTC is better in the use of materilas. I like the metal body and the good look. The weight of the HTC phones is better too - I like to feel when I hold the phone in my hands. If any of you are going to buy a HTC make sure you choose an unibody model. My Sensie started to crackle after a few week of use. It was really annoying when I was in a quiet place.

Never cared with the quadrant result I felt the Sensation sufficiently fast.

My S2 is perhaps considerably faster than the other 2 cored mobiles. The plastic housing is not so bad - I believe now that there is a difference between plastic and plastic. The glued SAMOLED+ screen is much-much better than the simple S-LCD.

And what about S(E) phones? I never liked them. They're just not my type. :o

I think the new phones are really to big.

How can someone put a Samsung Galaxy S3 in his jeansbag, go to the station and sit 20 mins in an autobus or drive with it?

For me a mobilephone has to be something I will have (more or less) the hole time with me. I would prefer a Xperia U - its small enough but has the power of an big one. OkOk, it hasn't a SD-Slot but 4 GB are big enough for fotos and some Ringtones.

[General Questions and Answers] KidCarter93:
In my experience I would pick Samsung.

I haven't owned any HTCs and the only Samsung I've owned was the Tocco but as far as smartphones go, I've only owned Sony devices. I've had the X8, X10 Mini Pro and now the Xperia S and even though the X8 was a great phone, my two since have let me down.

The mini pro was way too laggy and considering my xperia S ia supposed to be Sony's flagship phone, it's done nothing but let me down. It's running slightly better recently but nothing to brag about :(

But because I haven't owned a HTC or a recent Samsung, going by talk about the didifferent manufacturers, even though HTC seem like good phones, they don't beat the SGS2 imo. I'm actually debating whether to get rid of my XS and getting the S2 but only time will tell :)

I like Sony. I'm a big fan of Sony in general(i own their TV, PlayStation, stereos and what not). I was seriously planning of buying an Xperia S, but the price was just a bit higher than S2's. Also I hate the fact you need to flash kernels with computer(can't do it using your phone, I had Sony Ericsson phones and they had this too).

Anyhow, I gotta say I like Samsung phones the most. They are very hard ware wise compared to other same priced phones(S2 had better chip, GPU and camera than Sensation for instance, both are same price). I do like HTC too, but I've had no experience with them yet, maybe later :)

HTC and Samsung

I've had an DINC and now the GS3. Too early to tell on the GS3, so I'll have to come back to this thread in the future. As for the DINC, it's a great phone. I haven't had any issues with it. I didn't experience any dropped calls. The device itself (of course you can't compare it today's phones) is a good fit for anyone with smaller hands. I really like Sense (I know some people don't like it) and got used to it real quick. I never got to experience these later versions of Sense though. I still have my DINC and would not shy away from using it again. :good:
[General Questions and Answers] ayian:
With Sony you're generally paying more for the brand name than the hardware (Just my experience). HTC gives you solid performance, but I'm not a big fan of their ui. It depends on what you want it for, if you just need a facebook phone, get the cheapest. If you want performance, get a galaxy and flash on some new firmware.

[General Questions and Answers] enterflux:
I'm definitely partial to Samsung. My GS2 Skyrocket has been fantastic, not to mention it seems like the name Galaxy S is the biggest name on the cell phone market (aside from the accursed iPhone. grrr...) which implies that others find it powerful and reliable. Sony seems to make great products too, but I just find them somewhat Apple-ish as in their stuff seems over-priced. I used to own a Sony VAIO and it was great and all, but ended up being more expensive than it was worth, not to mention the Sony tech support was a pain in my rear...
[General Questions and Answers] TheNightHawk223:
Haven't had that many smartphones yet, but but I'd say HTC is top in my list. I used to look at my parents note.... Then I saw the display on the One X. :D Also I find the UI on HTC phones (Sense). Is alot better than touchwiz in my opinion.
[General Questions and Answers] nutingut:
Sadly, there is no perfect phone but quite a lot overpriced plastic junk. Well, that said, for me it depends on the class:

For instance, the HTC One S is the clear winner in the mid to high-end range. Great build quality, an awesome feel, a clean and polished software package and nearly great audio/music quality for an android phone.

At the higher end though, the HTC One X is great in all the same points as mentioned above, but the poor audio quality (one of the worst on the android platform) and the strange camera vulcano on the back makes it really a no-go for me. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S3 alternative does perform great, has decent (but not great) audio quality and extendable memory, but it's ui looks childish, it's exterior looks boring or even ugly and it feels very cheap compared to the One series (and there is no black version available).

Regarding Sony, I had an Xperia arc for a while: great sound (a tad better than the One S), but a lame software package bundled with a slow update cycle and I wasn't a fan of it's looks/feel either.

Makes you want to wait for the iphone 5, although that one has the ios and high-end price tag attached, so a no-go again.
[General Questions and Answers] Drzfr3shboialex:
I read that the US One X has good audio but the international does not due to the tegra 3 DAC
[General Questions and Answers] nutingut:
That would be great, but I haven't seen any confirmation. Anyway, price-wise the HOXL is out of this world, imo not worth it.
