Hey, I currently own an HTC One X, I am due to an update. I have In mind the HTC One and the LG G2, being an HTC owner, the build quality is a must. The battery, u all know how the battery is ****ty on the One X, so the next must have 4+ hours of on screen time, also daily usage must be smooth, I don't mind hiccups. Cam is BIG PLUS for me having triplet cousins I take a lot of pics of them. Speaker must be above average.

So what do u think ?

witch is the best battery life and grate performance:rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] KillingspreeRift:
Build quality - HTC One

Battery - LG G2 (although power bank can solve the issue in HTC One)

Screen - HTC One

Both HTC and LG G2 are smooth (although at HTC One OC preferred but not necessary). On stock LG G2 will be smoother if you talk about high demanded games.

Cam - LG G2, but you wont be disappointed from HTC One cam also.

Speakers - HTC One for sure.

I suggest buying HTC One.
[General Questions and Answers] yes.comment:
i am in kind of the same situation... i also have a HOX and i am planing to buy a HTC One, an Xperia Z1 or a Nexus 5...

camera i not a big deal for me, nor the expandable memory.

i only care about build and screen quality and battery life! which should be the best???

cheers!

Merry Christmas! :)
[General Questions and Answers] KillingspreeRift:
If you like to customize your phone (custom ROM, kernel, mods, etc.) in other words, to make modification of your phone - your choice should be

HTC One. If you would like to stay on stock, so you can try Z1 or G2, I would prefer Z1.

I remind you that HTC One has the best screen and speakers (also sound quality in headphones) in the market right now. Although the battery is only 2300mAh compared to 3000 of Z1 and G2, but as I told before, you can buy a power bank from ebay and it wont be an issue anymore.

cheers!

If you're trolling it's really not the way to get 10 posts.

If not, do provide at least some criteria like budget any must have specs.

I just saw that phone. One thing is for sure, you cannot get those specs for that price in any known brands.

But personally I'm unsure of Chinese products and hence avoid any that cost more than $5-10.. :D

But if that manufacturer is providing a warranty as well for an year, it might be not a bad deal!

Hello. I have an opportunity to take a 32gb model N5 or G2 for the same price. I need to know, which one will be better for the day use for my cases:

1) much phone calls (GSM + SIP calls)

2) music

3) e-reading

4) foto

5) web serfing.

Thank you.

P.S. I hope, people who will recommend me one or another phone, had the opportunity to test both devices.
[General Questions and Answers] Infinite7154:
I have had both phones and both have great things going for them. If you want the latest Android software, go for the N5. If you want cool features, the LG G2 is the better option. They both have pretty much the same processors, but the G2 has better battery and a better camera IMO. Plus, I think double tap and the IR remote are awesome. Pure Android is great but the way LG did it this time makes it hard to pick the N5 over the G2.

which one should i buy

i want to buy a new tablet in the range of rs10000, i viewed nexus 7 is there any better one pls suggest me i use to play a lot and browse a lot on net so suggest me as per my requirement

thnks in advance:good:
[General Questions and Answers] koizumi7:
The comparison you made is pretty accurate. However, even if Fonepad has more recent SoC, the Nexus 7 will still work better since it runs unmodificated Android. You can also count on better support and updates (from both Google and XDA). NFC in N7 makes the choice even easier. Pros of Fonepad are not convincing: making phonecalls with a tablet is really uncomfortable, same story with back camera.

If you need the tablet to read e-books, listen to music, watch movies - pick Nexus 7. BUT if your highest priority is browsing the web - pick Fonepad with 3G support.

I am looking for a tablet recommendation.

I currently have a 3rd Gen iPad (with Retina), and my wife has an iPad Air. I would like to get an android tablet. I was holding out for the Nexus 10 refresh, however since that doesn't seem to be happening what are my options for a larger 10" tablet?

There is a good deal running right now at Costco on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 for $100 off, bringing it down to $280. The only thing I don't like about the Galaxy Tab 3 is the resolution is a bit low at 1280x800 and the processor is only dual-core.

I am not sure I would be happy with a 7" tablet, but if I were to drop to that size I am inclined to go with the Nexus 7. The specs seem strong and I like that it comes pre-rooted, and will get Android updates.
[General Questions and Answers] abdel12345:
Nexus 7 Durant come pre rooted but it's real easy to do it yourself. You should check out the lg gpad. It's 8.3 inches and it's specs are real good. It's a bit expensive compared to the nexus 7 though as it costs I think 370. There's a Google play edition on Google play website that will get in stand updates as well and it'll be stock android. A good 10 inch could be the galaxy note 10.1 2013 edition. It's big and fast but it's also pretty expensive not sure exactly how much
[General Questions and Answers] failed1234:
$500 I think.
[General Questions and Answers] vovuska:
Hi everyone!

I am due to a phone upgrade here in UK, so cost is not the issue, I want to pick the best Android phone out there.

I was looking forward to note 3 however I tend to think that it is a little bit big :) and then I found out about Knox so not sure again.

I looked into Nexus 5, LG G2, S4, HTC One, Xperia Z1. They all have their pros and cons.

My latest thoughts picked LGG2 for its battery and keys at the back and every owner looks happy with the phone, perhaps the only downside is no external storage.

I am looking for an all rounded performer to use as phone and GPS with decent battery life.

I currently have Galaxy S2 and I love it, it is still a supported device here on xda.

I will probably go with LG or HTC One and root it on the first day.

Is there any things I am missing or perhaps a better phone for me?

Any suggestions welcome

New Tablet?

I tried posting here a while ago (the forum in general), but it appears I was too much of a noob to realize that this thread was the correct one to be looking for answers from! To any mods that I annoyed by posting in two other locations, I truly apologize. I didn't mean to clutter other parts of the forum with my posts.

Long story short, I'm looking for something to replace my 2012 Nexus 7. While I don't really have a huge issue with storage on it (I have the 32GB version), I would love to find something with a larger screen (around the 8" mark, preferably) and a microSD card slot. The main thing I'm looking for is, other than battery life, a tablet that is otherwise notably better than the version of the Nexus 7 I own. I've been doing some research online for various tablets that might fit the bill, but it hasn't easy for me to make a decision yet. And with CES coming up fairly soon, I may be asking a bit too early for suggestions on something to get. I've read a few of the rumors regarding a supposed 'Nexus 8', and I have to admit that if it's real, that'll be of interest. That said, it'd be a Google device and not have a MicroSD card slot like the other Nexus devices.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, especially if you have hands-on experience with the tablet(s) you might recommend.

New Tablet

Hello,

I am looking for a new tablet to replace my aging Motorola Xoom. Main reason I am looking for replacement is that I am looking for something much faster while browsing with Chrome (and having many tabs open) and faster general operation. Other than that I am generally satisfied with the Xoom, although I wouldn't mind a bit higher resolution and a newer version of Android.

I am mostly looking for 10" tablets since I am happy with this size, although I am willing to consider 8" tablets also (7" will definitely be too small for me)

I am considering both Android (I like the OS better) and iPad (I like the apps better).

This is a tablet that will be used almost exclusively at home, so being light is a bonus, but not a requirement. I use the tablet mostly for web browsing, Skype (I need both cameras to be good for Skype video), apps like Flipboard, web video (youtube etc, not whole movies) and reading ebooks (pdf mostly). Some light games occasionally, but I don't really care about gaming performance.

I don't have a ton of media and I don't use a lot of apps, so 16GB should be enough.

I also need decent battery life (or fast charging - the Xoom can charge from 0 to 100 in just over 2 hours)

I should also mention that I can't buy devices from Google Play in my country. Nexus devices are usually available but at a higher price.

Any suggestions? Also please let me know of any upcoming tablets (next 2-3 months) if they would fit my needs much better.
[General Questions and Answers] Mac_Green:
Hm, it is a nice tablet, though I'm curious as to how the brightness compares to the 2012 Nexus 7. I rather like how bright my Nexus can get, and from what I've read, it doesn't get as bright as the Nexus can be. And if I'm reading the various reviews right, it gets far worse battery life even with a lower maximum brightness. I do like the screen size and resolution though, and the reviews I've been reading have been kinda mixed as far as speaker volume goes (which I honestly don't care about. I have these things called headphones, and I prefer to wear them when listening to music anyway). The extra speed will definitely be noticeable to me, I think, with that superior clock speed, GPU, and double the RAM.

And then there's the whole v500 vs v510 (standard G Pad vs. Google Play edition) thing I'm unsure of. I like the idea of the Google Play version, but I've heard the standard G Pad is cheaper once in a while. I suppose it's a good thing I'm only looking up new tablets for now, since I can't afford to pick one up quite yet...

I saw that you can delete the various bloatware in the LG G Pad's standard version. Does doing so make any difference in performance for it that anyone knows of?

cheap

hello, i'm planning to buy an android device to use as a wifi-only audio streamer. i already have a phone, so i don't plan to use the new device for calls, only for wifi.

i just bought dlna speakers and want a very cheap device to:

1. stream from shoutcast or other internet radio to the speaker

2. stream from network shares to speaker

3. stream podcast from device to speaker

i'm currently using Air Audio on my other device to do this.

two questions..

1. is the kyocera event a decent handset? i would like android 4.0 or higher and it's only $40 new. i don't need the latest OS, just something recent.

2. i would also consider buying an even cheaper phone for say $25. one that comes with an earlier version, but can be rooted and flashed with 4.0 or higher. what are the best options for such a cheap budget, especially considering this will be a wifi-only device with no phone service?

Hi,

I can buy new Nexus 4 for less than 250 euros (not from Google Play ;)) but friend can order Motorola Moto G for 200 euros from Amazon. Which is a better choice? I don't play games on mobile and I think giving more than 230-250e for phone is ridiculous.

If you're getting the moto g 200 euros seems too expensive. In dollars it's only 180 or 200. So see if someone can send you one from the U.S or something. Anyways nexus 4 is nice too but if you don't really need the hardware for games there isn't really a point in paying more
