I have used both. Have S3 myself actually. I would get S3 anyday. I got bored of the monotony of iOS. In android, you can do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! But if you're not much of a nerd or you have seriously low IQ(Which I assume is not the case since you're on XDA!) Go for 4s...

Well iPhone feels a luxury to use, specially the latest i5.

It won't lag or give you any hassles.

The device should posses the capability to behave as an usb master, whether or not this requires a hack/custom os.

I wish to be able to connect two usb devices at the same time while utilizing the hdmi video output.

Device with confirmed usb-host capabilities

Device with hdmi AND usb, not hdmi OR usb.

**DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

Hey, I've posted a couple of times on here in the last few months but its really coming close to my upgrade and I'm so confused with what phone to get?

I've been changing my mind every week as to what phone to get, but I've narrowed it down definitely to one of three, either a iPhone 4S , galaxy note 2 or nexus 4,

The only reason I'd like a iPhone 4S is for music reasons to combine it with my beats solo hd's, but that's it really , otherwise the iphone is so small.

I'm loving the big screen of the note 2 but note sure what else I'd use it for?

And my other choice is the nexus 4 for the latest android updates!! But I've read so many issues with the nexus 4 so I'm really confused :(

Like I said one of the main reasons is for the music quality through my beats by dre headphones but of course I'd rather get the best phone out of the three I listed.

So please help , cos I'm so undecided

Thanks alot
[General Questions and Answers] NHS2008:
I Don't see why are you considering iPhone 4s for music reasons..?

Also why are you not considering Galaxy SIII? Note II is great but it's not exactly a phone..
[General Questions and Answers] dazza_84:
**DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

Well the music quality of the iphone to my ears through headphones sounds better for some reason as compared to say my old galaxy s2, that's why I'm a bit nervous to maybe move away from iphone.

The music people buy off iTunes comes in m4a which is apple lossless I believe that's pretty much the same as flac files but I could be wrong.

And on iTunes I have my pick of songs to choose from in a clear music format, I have no idea where to get flac music files from.

I don't actually know why I haven't considered the gs3? Maybe cos I had a note 1 and really liked it, I prob would still have it if it didn't have black clipping issue, but I've held a note 2 in my hand and it feels better in the hand than the note 1, maybe due to the slightly narrower width wise.

Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

iPhones have great audio outputs. connect any androids and iPhone via an aux and you'll see.

But its not like androids sound bad. it's like a 10-20% difference.

so IMO go for the Note 2 since you are alredy comfortable with the big screen, theres no reason to not buy it.

I am a noobie, I have never posted anything on XDA, so please give me a break if I do something wrong. Thanks. Now, I am due for an upgrade and need advice on what to get. I'm with AT&T (US) and currently have a Motorola HD that has been upgraded to JB OTA. From what I understand, no one has un-locked the boot loader on this phone. I want to root and mod my new phone for the same reason everyone else does theirs I suppose. All the friggin bloatware, cannot tether without paying them even more etc... What new AT&T device should I be looking at that I can do these mods on? That the bootloader can be unlocked, not to mention un-locking the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dual Core for AT&T

My brother-in-law needs a new phone for AT&T for himself and his daughter, they're getting off of Verizon. He's not a geek so I figure a dual core should be good enough.

If they were on T-Mobile I'd say the HTC Sensation since I loved mine before getting an N4. I want to make sure it supports the 4G on AT&T just in case he gets a data plan for his daughter.

It needs to be at least 1.2Ghz dual core, with 1Gb RAM. Removable storage would be nice but it's not required. Oh, we're looking to buy it on ebay so he doesn't get stuck with a two-year agreement.

[General Questions and Answers] xxBrun0xx:
Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

Honestly, I'm not sure what all the hubbub is around the s3 and nexus 4. The att one X gets significantly better battery life in a slim package with a better camera, better screen, better built quality, and lower price tag. I've had ore devices than I'd like to admit over the past year and a half, but I just can't think of a single device better than the one X. A good used one can be had for $200. A comparable s3 will run you close to 400, and the used market for nexus 4s is still really screwy, but it'll run you about 325 after taxes and shipping from Google. I have been tempted by a note 2, but for the extra $300 a used one costs and the inability to operate the device with one hand makes it just not worth it. Maybe if they release a gsm version of the RAZR hd maxx, this thing will have some competition, but that won't be cheap. So for anyone who has $200 and wants 4 hours of screen on time in a typical day of use age without any power saving apps/tweaks, this is the phone for you. I couldn't be happier :)

[General Questions and Answers] Lt.Win:
Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

You can well assume that the Note 3 is going to be as big as the Note 2 or even bigger. Now, if you've tried a note 2, doing anything except unlocking with one hand is impossible. If you're okay with that, its a great phablet. It's going to run on the latest android at the time and going to have lots of dev support as well.

Now, the iPhone 5S or 6 or whatever, is going to be around the size of the iPhone 5. It will not have any customizations, only movable icons. :rolleyes: It's good in the hand, the iPhone 5. Good app support, which can be a plus point, considering many of the apps and games release there first, then Android, but its not a long wait, and not such a big deal.

These are the Major Points you need to see. Obviously, iPhone 6 is gonna be costly, so will the Note 3.

Finally, its uptown you to decide and I recommend the Note 3 of you don't mind the Size. I would also look at the upcoming S4 if I were you. :)

Hi,

Im looking for a new phone and coming from an iphone 4, im looking into android devices because they are cheaper than the iphone 5 (although i can still consider it).

Which one would pick out of these three:

- Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE - 293$

- HTC One X (international version with quad-core but no lte) - 333$

- Samsung Galaxy S3 (regular 3g version) - 352$

The S3 LTE would seem like a good choice being the cheaper and having good hardware, but the battery drain issues im reading about don't sound good and i want a phone that will last me without much of an issue for the whole day (charing overnight)

Or, to put it less obtusely, are there any differences if I buy one company's phone or another if they both have LTE? I'm on AT&T, and I'm due for a new phone. I've realized other than wanting to stick with Android, I don't really care what phone it is as long as I can tether it. Thus, the logical question came to me as which phone has the fastest LTE, or maybe better radio implementation?

iPhones always seem to be one generation behind on features but priced above the rest of the current phones. Heck, they don't even have NFC yet.

Besides that, the Apple CEO said that Americans lack the skills required to make Apple products. When I heard that I lost the skill required to buy them.

The Galaxy Note 3 sounds like a big honkin' phablet, 5.9" display 8-core CPU. I imagine the iPhone 6 will "only" have a quad core and maybe they'll create a new non-standard power port for it as well.

I have read good things about the battery on that also and im leaning towards the S3 now, not just because of battery but due to the ergonomics ( button placement, mostly because i don't find pratical the unlock button being on top like on the one x, maybe if the volume keys would wake up the screen and then i could unlock would be easier), but its the more expensive of them all. The s3 lte is the cheaper but with worst battery life.
