I'm hellbent on a snapdragon 800, a microsd card slot and a replaceable battery.

The two I'm most interested in are

The Note 3 and Korean LG G2.

Would love a smaller device with my 3 musts as long as its android. I've read something about the Honami mini, but I doubt the battery will be removable. I'm on straighttalk here in the US.

The Note 3 scares me because of its size, I know its not out but its dimentions are said to be similar to the Note 2. Note 2 owners: Is it too big?

The Lg G2 scares me cause of compatibility issues with 3g bands. Also I've read a couple of problems already as well as my current phone is an lg g2x, which reeked of problems.

Anything I'm forgetting or phones I'm overlooking?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark Wraith:
Well personally what i feel is that a 6 inch screen is not hugely different from a 5 inch screen. Many people feel note 2 is huge but i can easily fit it in my pocket and i face no issues with the size.one more thing you are overlooking is the price. You have to shell out more for note 3. I am not a huge fan of LG phones and i'd go with note 3 if money is not an issue. But the ultimate choice is yours.If you are worried about size then i can tell you from personal experience that note 2 is pretty comfortable to use . Talking on the phone is slightly problematic but overall i'd vote for note 3
[General Questions and Answers] mas5acre:
My first phone was a n900 mameo phone with a stylus. The lg g2 I was looking at was like 945 USD for the Korean model on eBay. I don't think note 3 would be much more than a 1000. I do miss a stylus. But thanks for the input.

The one thing that I don't like about the note 3 is no optical image stabilization per rumors...as well as I like the HiFi inside the lg g2. I think I'm leaning more towards the note 3 unless something crazy comes out like an xperia play 2.

Hello. Im here to ask you what phone for me is the best. I want to start making apps for android with unity3D Android game engine. I need kind a fast and big screen. Probably 5" or bigger. I dont know much on phones so I need your help to decide. I dont know where to buy or search info. Please help be to find the best phone for me. I also want GPS, cuz Im traveling a lot.
[General Questions and Answers] i9100g user:
Then go for a phone with a fast soc (Preferably Snapdragon 800 because of a beastly GPU and most devices in future will be using this Qualcomm soc making it easier to develop )

LG optimus G2,Xperia Z ultra or any other device with snapdragon 800 soc.

Or you can wait for note 3(w 3 GB ram ) ,honami,nexus 5 or HTC max.
[General Questions and Answers] lapius:
But they are expensive, i have about 150$... so... I need not that fast, but cheap and good phone.

[General Questions and Answers] emtee_skull:
For me I love the 5.5 in screen in the note 2. I'll never go back to regular phones. Phablets all the way. Now my wife loves to use my phone but doesn't like its size as a phone. She has a droid charge. Which brings me to my question. It's time for her upgrade. My 2 choices are S3 and S4 for her. Things that are important to her is turn on and go and battery life.

I can get the S3 for 29.99 and the S4 for 149.99. I suspect that coming from the droid charge the S3 will be a very nice performance upgrade. I also like the S3 because it can be loaded with custom roms. Not so for the S4 YET{if I get one with the latest firmware}.

So is the S4 worth the extra 130 dollars?
[General Questions and Answers] jayc137:
S3 is smaller than S4 isn't it ?

I think that the S3 will be better
[General Questions and Answers] sayedrman:
I'm planning to buy the s4 (vzw)
[General Questions and Answers] i9100g user:
Actually it is quite contrary to the normal belief (5" is more than 4.8" so something with bigger display is bigger)

Dimensions of S3 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm ; weighs 133 grams

Dimensions of S4 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm; 130 grams

S4 is smaller and lighter than S3 with better specifications and bigger screen.

[General Questions and Answers] wrath0r:
I want to switch from iPhone to android, but I am having a hard time finding a competitive device that meets my needs. I value smaller, lighter phones over the flagship devices I've been able to find so far, but I also use a lot of storage for multimedia. I love the look and feel of the HTC One Mini and would happily buy it, but 16GB of storage is not sufficient for me (I need 64GB) and there's no card slot for expansion. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini would fit my needs, but the display isn't even as nice as the iPhone 4S's, let alone the newest revs.

Can anyone point me at a device I've overlooked? Am I just going to have to get with the times and accept that new phones are getting bigger?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] yajur1995:
The standard size of all the phones is now being raised to around 5 inches..so i guess you could say that the phablets would now be called phones(S4) and tablets would now be called phablets(xperia z ultra).. i would suggest you go in for the galaxy s4 because it has an amazing camera, great display and supports upto 64gigs..the choice is yours

[General Questions and Answers] Rudeyllah:
I have touch both phones and I really prefer the feel of the Arrows NX F-06E and do not see much difference between the 2 devices. Arrows is so well thought out that I do not see the need to root.... Unless you greedily want to overclock the device. My reasons for preferring Arrows.... It feels more robust, waterproof, camera 16.3MP, I do not like the curved edge design after holding this phone. It also has quite a few features especially the illumination and the NX eco plus the blue light cut off to save battery. And a massive plus for me is the slide in function and fingerprint security.... My only downside is Fujitsu is slow on updates and very hard to find a way to root, hence very little support on custom ROMS or Kernel.But as I said it is very good as it is....
[General Questions and Answers] Tsukumogami:
I have also found out a bit more in the meantime and it seems I will not be able to use the Japanese version of either phone. They both only offer a limited range of frequencies for LTE and there are other frequencies used in Europe. I need a phone that will work fully in Europe as well as Japan. As there is no international version of the Arrows (which irks me quite a bit) I will have to get an international version of the Galaxy S4. I also would have prefered the Arrows a lot but I just can't do without something important as LTE when I'm outside of Japan.

I am about to buy a new phone (or a Xbox one) and I saw a lot of comparisons between a moto X and other devices I am impressed of its usability but the question is: it worth buy extra features instead of a pure performance high end device, like a s4, since they will be almost at the same price on my country
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
If the moto x is priced beside the s4, there's no point getting the x instead of the s4.

[General Questions and Answers] Lucasal96:
Idk, I really liked the touch less control, the notifications popping up when u pass near the phone and the battery time even with voice control on all the time. It has a nice GPU and a dual core processor is not that bad besides it has dedicated single cores for some functions. Idk I really liked these functionalities
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
Don't get me wrong, moto x is in no way an inferior device.

And even I'd love to buy it.

But the pricing is way high.

It's priced in the quad core range while it actually is a great dual core phone with software gimmicks.

Eventually you'll feel that you spent for a quad core performance but got just dual.

Also the no sd slot might be good for you but generally it's a letdown.

Overall if you really really like the software effects, go for it.

I've seen people end up buying something else than they like because of a head on spec sheet comparison and then not really enjoying.

Tl; dr

If you like the X, buy the X :thumbup:

Hi, I need to choose 8 inch tablet, 4:3, mainly for Internet surfing, emails, some simple doc and XLS editing, ebooks, of course movies YT, some music with headphones, maybe some games, but I mainly use ps3 for that.

I think this topic will be useful for more and more people looking to buy "perfect" 8-incher.

Now I have nexus 7 and this will stay here but want sth bigger with more ram, so my requirements are:

- about 8 - 9inch, ips screen (should I be looking for high resolution?)

- 2gb ram

- rk3188

- good WiFi reception

- good battery life, minimum 5000mah

- working in Europe 3g would be great, but not necessary

- 4.2.2 with possibility to root

- community support, so some custom roms are available

- availability of smart cover would be a plus

- no need for bluetooth, GPS

I've been reading and looking for a "perfect" tablet (ipad mini clone) for a few weeks and still didn't find, some tablets are meeting only some of my requirements but didn't find the the one who has it all, or maybe even the majority of requirements... Budget: about $250

- chuwi v88 - this was my first "wow" choice, custom rom, good specs, but WiFi fail

- chuwi v88 titanium ice green - nice to have the better version, thinner, but WiFi issue is still present?

- then I thought about pipo u8

- pipo m6

- pipo m7 pro - dont know if 3g will work on European bands

- vido mini

- Onda mini

- Aishon a97

- ifive x2

What would be your recommendation, maybe some other tablets that I didn't mention/ haven't found yet?

Let me hear what you, more experienced users, have to say about it.

Thanks a lot!

buy used s3 or nexus 4

Okay to start out, I'm 15 year old who worked my ass off to get life's luxuries, ex my computer, designer clothes shoes etc etc. the job I've been working has closed down, and Im down to only $200. There is an ad on craigslist for a used, flawless, unlocked s3 for AT&T (planning to use for tmobile).

OR I can get a 8Gb new nexus 4. If I can beg another $50 from my dad, maybe the 16GB (50% chance). I would get the nexus 4 but it has no expandable storage and the battery life is kinda disappointing. Your thoughts?

Nexus 4 n Xperia ZR

So I wanted to get a new phone n originally the decision was to get an Xperia Z, i don't think its worth it to spend that much on a phone n have now come down to these 2 phones which are separated only by 2k or so.

So what would you suggest? the Xperia ZR or Nexus 4? or any better suggestions?

I chose Z over ZR cause of the looks n USB OTG , but its still expensive.

n b/w ZR n Nexus 4 : waterproof, a better camera n a bit smaller :) I don't think I want a 5" phone

n Nexus 4 well : cause its a Nexus n since my other phone is an LG I've had any issues with it except the s/w updates which a Nexus wont have

[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
What is your basic requirement?

Since the only major difference between the two is

Nexus 4 comes with obvious latest updates, but the Sony will get them a few months late.

While, the Sony comes with proof tech & expandable memory.

Personally I'd prefer the N4 since I'm not a fan of Timescape UI and also the I barely use above 10gb of space.

I have a SGS2 with Super AMOLED, and under the harshest sun at full brightness, I can just about read stuff.

It is a great battery saver screen but outdoor visibility is just ok.

No experience with other displays though!
