Unless you want a bigger battery, Galaxy Nexus is the best replacement:
1-strongly supported by google
2-HD screen
3-Jelly Beans 4.1 OS
4-Good quality
5-The beautiful AMOLED screen
6-It is going to get Android 5.0 update.

Beside the Xperia Play which is a unique device, Nexus phones are probably the only ones I'll be buying.

I'd go for the Galaxy Nexus.

i've just bought my nexus...thanks for the opinions though.. about the chinese phone, i dont really like the it..i like phone because of its uniqueness..and i can live without quadcore..

sgs 3 or nexus
you should definitely go for the nexus or galaxy s 3, i'm keeping my xperia play though

And have big screen cos you will got your fingers on it when playing games

Out of those two Galaxy nexus, but My next device is either HTC One X, One S or Xperia SL, The only thing stopping me from getting a One x now is Sense 4 (ugly, definitely intend to use a sense less rom.) and the only reason the Xperia SL is being considered is because I like Sony's UX.
And the HTC One X will be getting Playstation mobile.

Nexus.. because i think SONY make xperia play as their "step-son".. LOL

Xperia Arc S or HTC Sensation XL ?

Hey guys!
I'm planning to buy a new phone in 2 weeks ..
I'm confused between these two .. Xperia Arc S and Sensation XL ..
Any recommendations or guidance from the users of these phones
What i like about the XL :
Massive 4.7" screen
Easier to touch-type
Beats audio
What i like about the Arc S :
Sharper screen (233 ppi) despite the small size (4.3"), comparing to the XL's 4.7" and (199 ppi)
The cool looks !
The upcoming official ICS will look great on the that phone
Both processors are fast .. 1.4 and 1.5
Taking into account that I lOVE the new ICS look and i'd love to have it on my next phone .. While i can only have it on the Arc S because of CM support .. And i don't know how to get that look on the Sensation XL because of the lack of suport and the too little ROMs availablity
By what you said, get Arc S, or wait a little more for Xperia S. Both will get ICS until june. Arc S is going to get stable CM9 soon, and I'm sure there will be some guys from FreeXperiaTeam (who work with CM in 2011 Xperia devices) working ASAP on Xperia S.

You ask that question in an Xperia Arc forum? Are you dumb or something?
i had just pick up an arc a month ago..i just take it primarily because of it good looks other than that sony promise of official ice cream samndwish and a remote chance that the arc get Playstation store outside of japan..
but i don't see if both arc and sensation gonna be relevent by the 3rq quarters of this year.as i change phone every year, the arc fits the time frame..but if u wanna kept your phone lots longer, get a dual core
I'd say Arc S
Has a micro sd slot which the XL doesn't have.
If the XL had dualcore I'd go with that but it hasn't and 100Mhz are no difference.

+1 to arcS... HTC is too expancive... What are you paying for? Half of inch? Wright question is arcS or Sensation XE... Dual core, great display, Beats Audio... And looks great to. I would prefer SE because I am a BIG fan of it... And you can go to the store, take both of them in yor hands and decide...
Seems like the Arc S is a winner for me. The charisma and charm of this phone is irresistible. However, I'm considering the upcoming Xperia S too .. Just Hoping it won't be too expensive
this HTC comes with a internal 16G memory and 768 MB ram - these are more critical factors for performance. correct me if i am wrong?
Ok, RAM is a big plus.
But for me the 16GB non-expandable memory (?) are too less, so no-go. I have ~23GB on my phone.

I read somewhere, and it has been an "aaaaah yeah..." moment for me,
that we shouldn't compare SE phones with Samsung and HTC phones.
They are not at all about the hardware or the Android version.
They fill in the gap between the people who are hardcore users and spec enthusiasts and those who have no idea about smartphones.
They are targetting people who are OK with having a really beautiful phone, advanced camera function and good hardware, not necessarily top-of-the-top.
And even though XDA forums are normally not a place for such people, you can't deny the very existense of such target group.
Seeing it like this, you can understand why they haven't joined the hardware race that Samsung and HTC are running atm.

I was tempted by Note because of it's size and power etc. as I could eventually get one for free,
but this device is NOT impressive.
The screen - again - looks like oversaturated **** and the UI is actually disgusting.
I quit after 5 minutes of playing with it.
BTW the performance when just fiddling with it was actually mediocre.
Xperia S is worth wait, as far I have seen after AOSP Sony has one of the best UI and they aren't in the race for great hardware spec like other which just made Dual core devices without software support for it. Sony waited to release dual core when it's necessary i.e. As far as I know ICS is optimized for Dual core. So when they started rolling out ICS update they started to make dual core devices. But if you looking to brag about the spec then sure go for SGS 3 that might out
My 2 cents

Should I get a Galaxy Note

I just recently bought a Skyrocket and being that it is SII based, it is a very nice phone. I am still being pulled into the Note though even with the SIII on the horizon. I am looking to hear from the guys who have a Galaxy Note what they think about it and after owning it for a while if they would keep it or trade for something smaller.
Just some FYI, I have been on android since the Aris, I have also owned the, Galaxy S, Thunderbolt, G2x, Moto Droid 2, Sensation, and xoom, all of which have been rooted and ROMed. I consider myself well educated and experienced in android phones.
I've had my note since November and can honestly say there's still not a phone on the horizon I'd trade in my NOTE for. Love it like a baby!

I had Desire, Sensation, One X, Note (and a few less powerfull phones like galaxy 3, xperia mini)
Note is the best device I had used till now!

Same here...I bought my Note Back In November Last Year and there's no going back...waiting patiently to see what samsung does for version 2....heard rumors they want to make it a 6.5" screen...I say to keep it at 5.3 or 5.5 but bump the ram up to 2gb, use the tegra 3 quad core processor, 12mp with xeon flash back camera, 2mp front camera, official support for micro sd 64gb, two micro sd slots, dual sim slots, and a whole lotta other niceties to make this phone the king again...Ps I don't care if the price is set at 999 for all these features...Im buying...rofl...jk..seriously

i know the feeling that he has!
After watching that video I feel very much the same.
Not quite with a smartphone but I remember going from my 17" 1280x1024 LCD to a 24" 1920x1200 and it was WOW. After using the 24" and then looking at the 17" I just couldn't look at the smaller screen.
Even though I have not owned a smartphone other than the Note I can not see myself going to a smaller phone.
So my next phone will be another Note hopefully.
I really like it. But it really depends on the person.
So my recommendation is go to a store where they sell them and look at a demo or something.

I still have an SGS II and the wife loves hers. She doesn't want a Note. I love using the Note and I am still amazed at people's surprise when seeing the phone. They don't know what it is. Most people then want one.
I will be buying an International S3 when they start appearing used to see of the mid size screen between the s2 and note will be a good trade off, If so the SGS2 will go on Ebay and the Note will then be relegated to the back up position. If not the S3 will go back on Ebay and I keep the S2 until the Note II.
I don;t find the size prohibitive at all. I am used to using two hands on it and use it like a Notepad. Carrying it in my pockets is easy ( I would not want to put a case on it though).

Galaxy S III vs other phone out there today.

Hey guys!
I just recently lost my Galaxy S 3, and honestly I was thinking I will buy the phone again, but since I'm going to use my money to invest a brand new phone. Is there any other phone out there which is better than the S 3 today? I'm not interested in HTC One X.
I would wait for the Note 2 that will be unveiled later this month.
Sent from Galaxy Note using xda premium
Yeah, but Note 2 is taking to long time. I really need a new phone, you know...
If you need a phone right now and can't wait to see what apple has to offer in September or October then SG3 is the best choice.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
No Apple product. Only Android phone, but thanks... Maybe I should consider and buy a new Galaxy S 3 after all?
Huawei Ascend D Quad and Ascend D Quad XL are definite contenders, but apparently not out worldwide until October.

Sony is releasing a few that look pretty good. Windows 8 phones are coming too. I would personally either get the GS3, wait for the windows 8 version of the GS3, or the new Nokia flagship provided it is thinner than the fat lumias.
Yeah, probably GS3.

SGS3 NO QUESTION
or maybe even GNex at a cheap price?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
If you cant wait definately the SGS III. There is no other device that is so well rounded atm. Nice screen, best ergonomic design in the android line (after 2 years with a DHD its a blessing to be able to power up the phone with the physical homebutton and shut it off on the side, no way to power on a OneX with only one hand of my size...), good battery life, exactly as much storage as you need: 16-128gb, nice UI and huge XDA support.
There were two other devices i was thinking about: The Huawei Ascend D quad and the Galaxy Nexus. But the huawei had cpu problems and was delayed - not a good sign imho. And what looked like a stock google experience first with fast updates, was killed by another bad looking sluggish UI, so we have no idea how fast they will bring out updates etc.
The Galaxy Nexus is only nice because it already has JB and is cheaper, but that will eventually come to the SGSIII as well. The small storage and the lower mpx camera were the turnoff here.
And you know how it is with Smartphones there is always the next big thing right around the corner... So after having the SGSIII for a few days i really feel like i have made the right choice! Its such a big step if you're coming from an older phone like the DesireHD. Everything is soo fu***** fast!!!
Alright, thanks for the advice, but from every places I have read, and heard personal from Huawei owner wasn't satisfied with the product. Either the phone died to quickly, or the battery just started to decrease, or yet... it just stop, or freeze, so they have to reboot all the time.
I used to own my GSIII, and the phone was nice. I wasn't unhappy with the product, except I didn't like the home button. It was small and narrow, and not so flexible like the GS II.
Personally, it would be more higher chance for me to buy the GS III again, but since the GS III just arrived out to the market for few months now, and I was thinking perhaps there might be a better phone which could stand against the GS III. Personally, I would love the phone have a good sound chip. The GS II suck so hard vs the GS I and III for the sound.
The only two complaints, although major, I had with the Xperia S was that it was using the Qualcomm S3 and the screen had a yellow tint problem. I didn't mind GB so much and the Qualcomm S3 was actually surprisingly smooth. The tablet S with a crappy tegra 2 runs incrediblly smooth with the ICS update too.
So I would think the Xperia GX and Mint will be the closest S3 competitors on the horizon. They earned some points with me. I am sure Nokia will show the windows phone 8 flagship soon as well.

Thats probably why Huawei delayed the phones. It should bother you if they released the phones in that state, not that they held off on releasing them to fix the problems.

Sony, LG, HTC (best to worst in that order). Seriously, don't go with Samsung.

Too much hate on the Samsungs. In my opinion get the Galaxy Note II or wait for the Note III. If not get the Galaxy SIV. The features included in it are amazing and also if they are all going AOSP then what does it matter. New TouchWiz is great. Also are you looking at the Samsung Galaxy SIV GTI9505 or GTI9500
It will be very biased here.
I say Samsung Galaxy SIV is first choice, then HTC One tied with Xperia Z. Both were great phones.
I havent tried the LG but they never update their phones. But its you call at the end

Just watch this:

(HTC one is ~= SGS4 in performance)
Nexus 4 is a TOP phone performance wise...
So the question is: is it worth spending ~600$ for build quality, better screen, better speakers and better camera?
It's not for me.

HTC One (because i've tried one yesterday, pretty good quality and it flies!)
Sony Xperia Z (because I used to love sony. Tried the phone, not much of a difference compared to the N4)
LG Optimus G Pro (because well.. We're using LG now aren't we? Not sure how their non-aosp devices would stand tho.)
Samsung Galaxy S4 (because it lags like a grand mother and i hate samsung for adding galaxy to the galaxy nexus and for their ****ty build quality.)

If nexus 4 is a boring smartphone, I'm Santa Claus.

Choose a phone based upon what you will use it for. Games, internet, movies, texting and calls? A smaller device might be suitable for you if you only plan on using it for texting/calls or a device like the s4 for movies/gaming.
The nexus 4 is a great device, decent screen size, amazing performance... even on stock.
your list doesn't even have nexus listed in it. I wonder why you posted this question here!
I'd say stick with the Nexus but if you're adamant about switching then
1. HTC One - unrivalled build quality, great performance, Sense is actually quite nice here, overall a great phone
2. GS4 - awful build quality and fugly TouchWiz but lots of development on XDA and outstanding hardware specs
3. Xperia Z - decent specs and great build quality/feel in hand (not to mention waterproof) but poor viewing angles on the display and if you're going to dish out money on a new phone you may as well get one with next-generation hardware rather than the XZ which is between the two generations
4. LGOG Pro - screen is too large IMO, cheap feel to the device and, being an LG, there's little chance of you getting updates and there's not too much development
We already have a phone comparing other phones.

Stay with Nexus or HTC 1.

Which smartphone to buy? Nexus 4, Xperia Z/ZL, Galaxy S4?

Guyz i have a budget of 30K and options i made out are Nexus 4, Xperia Z/ZL or Samsung galaxy S4.
Can you give suggestions??
My requirement is : Music like Xperia phones, Camera sensor like Xperia phones, Display like AMOLED or S-LCD.
My last device was Xperia SP and it totally sucked. Pathetic display. Pathetic camera. Sold out after 10 days use!!!
You have a budget for a phone for 30.000 dollars?
Well anyway, since you want music like xperia and camera like xperia I think we have a winner.
If you don't want to go with the xperia you can always flash xperia albums + walkman on your s4 or nexus I think.

I would say go for Nexus 4 for but obvious reasons because I own it.. Xperia Z is also a good option but DON'T GO for samsung crap S4.
Why not MOTO X??

I would seriously wait for the Moto X. It's perfect as per my requirement but sadly india is one of the last countries to get nexus products. Nexus 4 came after one year of release and i think so will Moto X.
Xperia Z has pathetic display other wise its good too yeah.

Is there any possibility of Motorola launching the phone elsewhere apart from the Americas? All blogs I read today specifically state that the phone will not be sold anywhere else.

There was something about there being a cheaper version for international prepaid markets, though I doubt that that particular version will retain the customization options. Not to mention it will most definitely have weaker specs, which aren't really top of the line now too.

Weaker specs?? Are you serious?? How much weaker? like single core?? 1GB RAM?? less than 720p display???
What is the source of your info? These are standards dude. And Google Nexus devices have never been any less. Though i agree with you on customizations. There may be two or three basic color white or blacks anything.
And yeah i too have not heard of anywhere except America. But i guess Google is one brand that has evolved out of experimentation. It won't be same as it was with Nexus 4. Let's keep expectations down anyways *sighs*

Why would you get a moto x? It's a lot weaker than the Nexus 4 and comes with a older version of android and the bootloader is locked. If it's locked down anything like Verizon then good luck with custom rom and kernel development.
