I am looking for a branded China phone. Basically a trusted manufacturer that the battery don't explode or dead off on me in half an hour after a full charge.

5" screen and above

Dual sim standby (good to have but not a must)

2gb ram.

16gb storage and expendable by card

8mb camera. (Good pic quality)

Android os

My usage:

- my daily driver

- for taking pic of my kids, food, outing

- checking emails

- reading of forum via forum runner

- occassional games but I am not a hardcore gamer.

- good battery life. (Last min 15 hours on normal usage)

- smooth interface. Not lacky.

Some might suggest a samsung note 2. Yes I got it now and I just want to find something that can replace him which cost lower and still offers similar functionality and stablity.

Any recommendations or comments welcome.

Was looking at umi x2 but not sure it fairs and still under pre-order... I think so

Te new HTC looks just awesome and I really like it but no SD card and non-removable battery are the deal breakers.....

I am a little bit confused : Htc One M7 or Samsung Galaxy S4 ?

The htc one has really impressed me : its design, even in some benchmarks, i saw it beating galaxy s4.

I know the samsung galaxy s4 is very powerful but i need some help to pick up the best smartphone.

I am looking for a fast and beautiful phone with a good camera and loud speaker to be specific.

THANKS EVERYONE.
[General Questions and Answers] choovanski:
I've done a heck of a lot of research and am still unsure of what to buy. Phones such as the At&T Optimus G, HTC Butterfly, and the Xperia Z/ZL have come up. However they all suffer in terms of developer support or have a prominent hardware flaw(awful viewing angels, glass back etc). I would ideally like the One X but with an SD slot, however that does not exist. I do not live in America, so 4G and contract pricing are of no relevance to me. My current device is an Xperia Arc S running CM10, and I would be loathe to buy a phone which is worse than it in any area.

My requirements are as follows:

SD slot(64gb support)

720p or better screen

modern processor(ideally quad core)

good camera, better than the Xperia Arc

good support on XDA

Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Galaxy S4?

Although, Not sure 'bout Dev support there..
[General Questions and Answers] choovanski:
Samsung is known for being bad with drivers, furthermore the price difference between it and the s3 is bigger than the difference in features. The s3 has come up in my research, and despite it's stellar performance I am not fond of it. Personally I feel that the phone's design, while being amazing ergonomically is unattractive and both looks and feels 'cheap'. The 'burn' issue with AMOLED screens also makes me somewhat uncomfortable.

Thank you very much for taking the time out of your day to reply. I hope you have a pleasant week.

[General Questions and Answers] KidCarter93:
Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

Benchmarks honestly prove nothing in the slightest so I'll never use them to base a decision that I make.

The following may be a bit biased as I have the One, but I'll provide what help I can.

While we all know that the S4 will sell more units, due to Samsung's advertising, that doesn't necessarily make it a better phone.

It will, however, be a powerful phone and will be the phone of choice for a lot of people. I just don't see it as too much of an upgrade from the S3 to make it worth getting the S4.

The One is definitely a great choice and I don't regret buying it in the slightest. It's a good size, really quick and smooth, a lot of power built into it and super loud with great sound quality. It also has a great camera aswell. All in all, the One is a great choice.

If you're in no rush to buy the phone then I suggest waiting until you can use a demo unit of the S4 so you'll be able to test both devices properly before committing yourself to buying one.

The way I see it, the only things which the S4 will have over the One is removable battery and SD card slot but those things don't matter enough to me to mean I'll switch device.

At least we know both will have great development anyway :D

What Phone can you suggest?

Hi community,

i am searching for a new phone.

ATM i am using a

HTC Desire S

But cause of the Hitachi Display it is hard to use with new Roms. Thats the reason, why i am searching for a new phone.

What would be important for me?

Display. 3.7 - 4 "

Very Long Battery life

Good, hard case ... The phone should survive a fall from bed

Fast and Smooth

Very good support with CM or AOKP or MIUI

Very Good Speech Qality

SD Card Slot

Option to change the Battery

What is absolutely not important?

Camera.

at the moment, i am testing Samsung Galaxy XCover 2 GT S 7710 ... But it looks like this phone is too big and lags on XDA support.

There are no restictions to the money. But it would be nice to find a price - performance winner.

best regards

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

Hello everyone.

My birthday is coming up next month about the time the S4 starts shipping.

So I'm confused between the HTC One or the Galaxy S4.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S4

Things I like:

- Expandable memory

- Air view, dual camera mode and all those nice software tweaks

Things I don't like:

- Very plastiky and doesn't look as premium as the price

HTC ONE

Things I like:

-Amazing build quality and looks

- Front facing, clear and loud stereo speakers

Things I don't like:

- Non-expandable storage

- I'm not sold about the 4 "Ultrapixel" camera which is really only suitable for low light images

So, what are your thoughts/suggestions?

Anything would be appreciated.

Help me decide which phone...

I sold my htc One V because it was very slow and the screen wasn't satisfying for my job (i want to surf a lot, whilst having skype and viber running, enter 3g when i am in the train and keeping notes).

I search a lot and i think a screen of 4,7" might be good for me with 1280*720 resolution.

I find LG Optimus 4X HD very attractive for the money 320 Euros and there is Samsung Galaxy SIII for 400 Euros (which is more than i would like to spend for a handset).

There's also SGS2 which costs 300 Euros but it has lower screen resolution and smaller screen.

Well which phone will be more profitable and suitable for me (knowning that for 4X HD is coming the jelly-bean and it has fixed the problems with the camera) or have you any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I want to keep cost around 300 Euros...

I find it a good idea for a second hand Galaxy Note (i find some of them in 300E), but i'll have to look it closely because i want to see the convinience of this kind of size.

Is there any negative with the Optimus 4X? Because i believe in real life it will be as good as Nexus 4 or SGS3 and costs 80E less..

I simply don't get it with all those Huge phones that continue getting bigger and bigger.

For me anything beyond 65mm wide and 130mm tall and 8,5mm thick is cumbersome.

There are phones with 4.3 inches in this category (i.e. One S, Huawei P1) and with slimmer bezels we will hopefully see a trend of 4.5 inches 720p with quad core CPUs within those dimension constraints.

Well simply because the iPhone 5 is yesteryear's device and the S4 is a hot just announced not yet released device means you should get the S4.

The fact that the S4 runs Android and will probably get tons of development is yet another reason

[General Questions and Answers] KidCarter93:
Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

I can't say a lot for the S4 but I've just posted a review for the One here.

I think a lot of people will think that tablets are seeming more pointless as technology advances but I don't agree to be honest.

I've got a Nexus 7 and honestly wouldn't want a tablet bigger than that because it's a perfect size for watching movies and gaming, which is all I use my tablet for.

I've also got a HTC One and even though the screen isn't huge, it isn't small either but I could never see it replacing my tablet.

Of course others will have their own opinions on the matter though.

Guys help me pick !! I would like new phone, possibly fast, well built and with good camera. I have desire z now btw.

I would like new one. here are my findings of what I can get :P

-s3 (used only) - I dont really like the plastic

-htc one x (used only) - it looks great but heard bad stuffa about battery

-nexus 4 (rather used - it is not available in my country and would not have warranty) - it is fantastic but I am worried about glass back and overheating.

-Sony Xperia T (Used only? not sure yet) - good camera, a bit ugly design

-Sony Xperia S (NEW) - looks great, camera, UI, etc. nice phone... i dint know, I think its my fav so far. it seems to have best camera and price is good

-LG optimus 4x HD (new- good price) - looks like the best deal. It is cheap and offers the same stuff as s3... tho its camera is bad ? How is it now ? maybe it was upgrades

-HTC One S(new) - how is it? or v ?)

-galaxy note1 (just maybe)

-edit - there is also old galaxy nexus. Not sure tho. It is old and arm cpu

So that's it. not sure if I should look out for anything else. Did I missed anything ? So, best price of all is Sony Xperia S and LG and those I could find defienietly new. how about this ? And xperia T? Are those two only flagships before Z on sony side or am I missing something? their letter naming is weird and confusing :P isnt S their best phone before z ?

This will be off contract phone which will server me for good 1,5 year or 2 years, so it have to be solid. I like good camera and build quality most. Dont care all that much about 3d games. I dont expect much out of the battery but I would like it not to be borderline terrible

Actually since now it is claimed to get the 4.1 update, I don't see why not!

But mind it that it has "0" XDA" support.

Also except for the Projector it's just a Samsung S Advance, just INR10000 or around $200 more expensive! :p

And yes LG 4x is a beast, but if you can get your hands on S3 or HTC One X, it's better to get either of them.

Since even 4x HD lacks even a CM port, also not to forget LG's "timely" updates to their users! :/

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

The S2 has a larger screen and I'm guessing much more development. As it is a previous flagship instead of a previous mid range, I give it the edge.it also has an 8 mp camera compared to the Ace 2's 5 mp

Edit: the S2 also has a much more powerful CPU, and 33% more RAM

for camera: Go For HTC One S

For Build Quality : GO for HTC ONE V

i myself have a one v

even though its not the fastest out there but still packs a punch especially if u root it

stock rom is awful to say the least but there are other cool roms too

Build Quality is just awesome! Aluminium body protects it well from falls

my one v fell almost 5 times but there are only minor scratches

battery lifes is one of the best you'll get out there

but if you want more multitasking and browsing.....i suggest the One S

Anyways its your choice! dont make a wrong decision and regret over it

i wud have buyed a One S myself if i had the money :p

edit2: One S is ok but it is more expensive than lg below and I dont like exposed camera lens. it will scratch like crazy

How is lg 4x hd ? price is quite fantastic for what it is offeriing (same price as xperia s which also seems nice )

Continuing my search.

Found interesting stuff.

Been looking at gameplay of gta vice city/gtaIII, batman, Nfs most wanted and Max Payne.

Most of those games are working terrible on hox or lg 4x (my "was" fav)

I've checked few footages recorded on different channels.

Then the same games on Xperia S/T works flawlesly from footage I've found... even those devices have lower cpu specs + those xperia smartphones have best camera (and I want good camera) right ?

Then. Xperia S is right in my price tag for a new device. it looks fantastic too. T is a bit too expensive. any pros and cons on S vs T ?

I am looking for other propositions too. (minimum 4.3" well build device which would be good for browsing and some games + it would be nice if battery wasnt awful (using gsm only here) and if camera lens was recessed and not bulky like in hox)

edit:... ugh... not sure about xperia S but xperia T have a glued screen protector out of the box. After removing it and cleaning the screen, the glass is a fingerproof magnet and it dont feel smooth according to some....
