Nice second is the Note 2. I honestly love Samsung as a company they add something new and exciting with each of their new phone. I just wish that they made better build quality. Though i understand they went for a skinny light weight phone and all. I really wanted a solid build like the Nexsus 4 the build quality is Excellent on the nexsus 4. Oh well maybe next phone they will have better build quality. If not HTC here i come haha..
Otherwise this is great news..
Here is a link in English..

and your reason why? like what other phone can beat the s3? xD I Knew it was phone of the year back in 2011!!!! how? IT'S A GALAXY PHONE! pure logic that it would win.

I'd say note 2 would of won if not then probably iPhone (say that with much disgust lol). HTC just can't beat the galaxy. They are nice phones but yea like look at the HTC one x+ still 1 GB RAM and no lte I can't understand why they wouldnt do what Sammy done and upped the ram lol oh well

My opinion...
1. Galaxy S3
2. Xperia T (It isn't the most powerful but come on its sexy, and the Xperia UI is much much cleaner than Touchwiz and Sense)
3. One X+ (Sense is horrible, but camera, etc are great on this)

[Poll] What's your next phone?

And when?
I apologize if I missed any.
For me, probably the S4..maybe by the end of the year.
EDIT: Probably will get the N4 soon.

My contract ends next year in march so the next nexus phone probably or the galaxy note 3

I will dismiss my Nexus S with broken screen on Christmas.. probably Galaxy S4 with Snapdragon 600 (for a good price) but I have to look at Nexus 5 before I decide (LG?? Motorola?? specs??)

So... I can't buy a new phone like s4, butterfly or one... I need to buy in second hand from Android forums (Android PT).
BTW. I need something bigger and with a better resolution (540x960 min.).
So I looking for a galaxy nexus or something with a bigger camera... but galaxy nexus still my favorite.
PS: we don't have the nexus4 here in Portugal! So.... galaxy nexus ; )

...mmmh... will be traumatic move from an Nexus (specifically) to an iPhone... how do you do a full-wipe?? I can't live without CWM hahahahaha
Sorry about that post just for laugh..

Probably Sony Xperia Z, the IP57 certification is a plus for me.

Got myself a Galaxy S3. Got a decent price for a decent phone. Sorry Nexus S, but you were just too slow for me.

I'm looking at the S4, possibly the S4 Mini (if it's announced). My contract is up in July so I have a bit of time. I would like to stay with a Nexus, so maybe I'll wait for the Nexus 5 announcement and hope that it's not boring.

Nexus 4 probably, as I'm only 16 years old and don't have a huge budget. Maybe a Nexus 5 if it will be as money-saving as the Nexus 4!
Me Gusta!

N4 is on the way

I have a iPod, too and I bought it before my Nexus S. So I know the advantages and disadvantages. Full-Wipe? iTunes can do that. It takes more time but it work
But I won't sell my Nexus S so I will stay in the Nexus S Section

Don't think you can go wrong with the N4: A competitor phone with great specs and even a greater price of $300. The demand for it speaks for itself.

Good for you ... Samsung is the best hardware for now

device : note2
ROM : cm10.1 nightly

Jump "back"? You did own Note 2 previously then? Why'd you ditch it at all in the first place?
Welcome back anywho

I tried the experia z as well..
Although I loved the crisp screen the battery life was just awful compared to the note. I think I will stick with my new note II for a while and wait until the next generations of hardware.

yes i did but sold it few weeks back as i was getting the xperia z at a tempting price since the seller had just used it for a week but sumhow was missing that bulk handset in my hand hahaha !!!

Yes. Before the note I thought the size was just ridiculous. Now even "big" phones like the s3 and nexus 4 look too small.

Actually what we care is the battery life specs dosnt matter cuz it only have a crisp screen
Only if the xperia were to have an octo core and a better battery then I would want it

Actually it's not idiotic, people love to get new phones and I would like to swap it for a week. But I wouldn't have it for a long time since the screen is way to small. But I wouldn't be mad if I got one. As there is much awesome features in Xperia that I like but Samsung doesn't have. But the feature way I think Samsung is better. But I would definitely like to use Xperia Z due to it wouldn't be boring to get another phone to play around with
Also about customisation they got some themes standard. And I think it's sad that Samsung doesn't have that. I like to customize my phone and change the look. HTC is one of those who actually is one step forward but they got too few themes but it changes even the notifications and pull down bar. Sony just change the icons and menu background. But what can we change from Samsung? We need 3rd party apps to change what we want. It's a bit of a shame.
I can't call it idiotic to swap the note ii to Xperia Z it's all about what you want to do with your phone.
So your comment is idiotic no matter what people will one day be tired of their current device but they maybe not be able to change. I'll wait for note iii or ill change to galaxy mega as its a cool phone/tablet

I simply miss all those motion features on xperia z, the one i simply luvd and crave for is swipe the palm to capture screen then the led notification light which shld b pretty standard for a handset ,the one on xperia is pretty tiny and a lil buggy last.but nt the least i find note pretty user friendly.

bought one finally ))

Got to borrow a Z for four days a while back to try out LTE in another city. Atrocious screen (Seriously terrible), poor battery life, bad camera, & broken software. Shame, as I love Sony's industrial design, and their approach to Android skinning is rather nice. Keep wanting them to make something great, they get close at times but the basics are all wrong.
Note keeps on being fantastic.

Had a look and play with the Sony Xperia Z here is Australia, nice phone so will agree just one thing so did not like being the white keyboard sorry but I'm not one for white coloured keyboards prefer dark keyboards any day. But all in all a very nice phone

I remember when I sold my note 1 for HTC One X, that was the worst mistake I have ever made. Since then I have tried the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Optimus G, Galaxy S 3 and now I'm back on the note 2. All the reviews are saying that the HTC One is the best phone out there right now, but don't let them trick you like they did me with the HTC One X.

which will be your next handset after i9300?

1. S4/s5
2. Nexus4/4
3. note 3
4. Other android phone
5. Other phone?
Id intended to wait 2 years until I upgraded but 1gb of ram is working out to be ridiculously low and basically, while ideally id love to change to wp8 I'm addicted to android.... I'm waiting to see what the final specs of the note 3 and nexus 5 will be, and choose between the two. I'm thinking note 3 is the strongest contender as it will most likely be a powerhouse but pure android is tempting too

nexus 4 or htc one..

HTC ONE ...

Note 3

I`am thinking of Note3 as everybody, but still waiting for Motorola X phone.
And hoping for phone with IP67 (water and dust proof), big battery and possibilities above S3 AND most important - with dock station with i can use my phone as home computer.

Hopefully soon an Oppo Find 5 or it's follow-up by the end of this year.
It's screen, sound and UI create the ultimate user-experience I honestly find unmatched by any other phone.
The only reason it's probably unknown to you is it's lack of marketing in comparison to the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4.
It's something you guys should really check out! :good:

Samsung galaxy s4 for nexus 4?

Unlike the i9505,no stable AOSP roms for the i9500 ..touch wiz is just pain..

I've got the I9505 and the Nexus 4. In terms of development the Nexus device will always be a step ahead due to being a stock android phone. Crazy amount of roms and kernels. I find the N4 faster and smoother in day to day operation as it optimises the software perfectly. The Galaxy bare in mind has better camera, expandable storage, bigger screen, 1080p not that big a difference, removable battery.
Down to you I'm happy with both devices. But use my Galaxy as a daily driver due to better camera and such.

Sweet, i hear the i9505 is better than the i9500 in terms of the battery and no heating issues, not to mention how many custom roms and kernels available.I would have bought the i9505 if i had any idea about which version is better so now im left the i9500 , im not gonna buy a new s4 since im not planning on spending that much of money but think im going to buy me a nexus 4 and just use the 2 phones for different purposes, just a quick question, black or white nexus?

Black one for sure. It's a sexy device. It just works so well. The speed on custom roms like Rasbean is great. Plus you get the latest software updates to android. The roms are better than the GE of the roms as Google upload a version for developers to tweak so you get many more custom roms based on their sources or CM etc. If it had a better camera and that it'd be my main device Nexus 5 should be great.

Thought it was going to build by LG again, based on the G2 but without the Snapdragon 800 to keep the price lower. Aah well, we`ll see .

Yea , its what i heard too, but oh well motorola is fine also.

I have both. I9505 and nexus 4. Believe me, the nexus 4 is much more enjoyable to use, tiny little things in nexus 4 like navbar, curved screen edge makes using quickcontrols in aosp browser really much better where as in s4 it's harder to trigger thr quickcontrols since the screen is not level with the bezel.
The feel of holding the nexus 4 is much better than s4 with its plastic back, felt sticky and lots of sweat on s4.
And the most awesome in nexus 4 is the vibration feel when you type, it's softer and deep, i really cant explain it and you have to feel it yourself.
Other than three i mention above, galaxy s4 wins hands down.
