[Q] If You Were To Buy A New Android Phone Tomorrow What Would It Be?

So it's almost time to get a new phone but I can't figure out what to get...iPhone is definitely OUT...I refuse to be stuck with Apple-only BS...
...so if you were going to get a new Android device (phone) tomorrow what would it be?
I mean what is a step above the EVO 4G (besides the E3D)? Is there something better than the E4G?
Was thinking about this today....definitely need something that can be freaked like the Evo 4G.....
I'm not diggin' the E3D because of the lower MP camera & I hear the 3D really isn't all that...plus I've seen some "3D" footage shot with the E3D and it looked like regular old camera-phone footage...definitely NOT impressed at all...seems more like a gimmick to me...
I hear the Nexus has "the full Android experience" whatever the hell that means...I'm guessing no carrier bloatware?
Anyway...any suggestions?

Galaxys24g touch or whatever it's called.

If your stuck on sprint I would get the 3d. It has more ram and a better processor. The development on the 3d is huge which means better roms. My roommate has a Samsung epic 4g and its a pain in the a**. Not much going on in terms of rom development and even getting a rom on it involves upgrading the radio everytime a new rom is leaked. You also have to flash pretty much everything through samsungs software instead of CWM (no amonRA on samsungs that I have seen). I would stick to HTC.
If you can switch carriers the HTC sensation looks nice.

If I had to buy tomorrow...
On Sprint, probably the Epic Touch. Verizon, Droid Bionic. AT&T, Galaxy S II. T-Mobile, Amaze.
Of all? Epic Touch I think. If only it had a metal/soft touch unibody and some actual heft...
Just remembered. Epic Touch has LOS and a couple issues right now. Dang it.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S 2 EPIC 4G TOUCH or HTC SENSATION XE OR XL WITH BEATS AUDIO
My Oreo Evo 4g

Nexus Prime > Samsung Galaxy S II.

Epic 4G Touch, without a doubt.

well tomorrow better be the day when a kal el device is released with a 4.5 inch HD screen 1-2 gb of ram and 32GB of internal storage.
if tomorrow was really tomorrow. probably the evo 3d just do to its familiarity and sense.

Coming from htc, odin is one of the coolest things ive seen in a while. You can still use clockwork. I upgraded to the d710 from the 3d and yes you are right the 3d has more development. Which is good because the 3d needs a lot of work where as the stock rom on the d710 is fantastic and really doesnt need any deving. The d710 crushes the 3d in speed im not sure why you're arguing the reverse? Ive been loyal to htc for years but they just aren't what they used to be. Samsung is the new HTC in my eyes.

Huawei Acsend P7

So I bought a Galaxy Nexus earlier today...

...and I might return it. I really am not terribly impressed with it. ICS is cool and all but I would much rather have a bone stock ICS ROM running on my Epic Touch. My biggest complaint about it, besides how narrow the screen is, is that games just don't run nearly as smooth on it as they do on the E4GT. I know it has a weaker GPU, but I didn't realize it wasn't powerful enough to run Riptide GP without dropping frames all the time. Pretty disappointing, TBQH. Verizon has an extended buyers remorse period because of the holidays. I am going to hang on to it till Jan 14th and give it a serious chance but so far it's not looking good.
edit: Oh yeah, I HATE how the home/back/tasks soft keys persist even when playing games. That's the main reason why I returned my Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus, and I can't tell you how disappointed I am that they are still there in ICS.

Such a shame that the Galaxy Nexus is such a let down. My friend has one so I played around with his for an hour or so. There was some choppiness during transitions here and there. Only reason I'd pick it over an Epic Touch is because it's a Nexus device. But since it's not available for Sprint it's not a phone I'd buy.

It has the gpu of the galaxy s1, that may explain why it doesn't hum like our phone. The ti processor is very good, perhaps >= exynos but the gpu kills it.
Only thing I love is the screen (except that the on screen buttons can't be toggled) and ICS, seems like the colors are more real. In every other aspect, I have to go with the S2 (minus the tmo and skyrocket variants)

I played around with my coworker's GNex and I think its nice and all, but......
I can't stand the lack of search button and the lack of a menu button. I felt like I was using a Pre or iPhone, I couldn't find out where the flippin' options were easily (I know that most have a little menu button in the top corner, but that's not apparent to me). Try to get to settings quickly? you can't without finding that app for settings. I also found it pretty laggy compared to my E4GT.
I do like the core app GUI changes, however. Very nice. The phone itself though....meh.

Compatability. For example, T-Mobile's 42 Mbit/s HSPA+ network is not compatible with exynos which is why they have a different processor.

The downside if exynos is Android does not natively support it. So every time Google releases an os, Samsung has to port it which is no small task.

You guys do realize the iphone does not utilize 4G so the processor can be the same across the board. However, android phones do use 4G and not all networks are created equal (ex: HSPA+ FOR T-mo). Hence, the different specs.

The 4 is an A2 CPU and idk what gpu its running. The 4s is running an A3, is dual core, and beefier gpu. The iPad 1 and iPhone 4 use the same CPU, that's why there are jailbreaks available for them. IPad 2 and iPhone 4s share the same CPU. Its speculated its clocked higher on the pad. There also isn't a jailbreak for the A3 powered devices. There's no difference in hardware between the carriers of the same model phone. All 4 are the same and all 4S are the same.
I had a 4S for a couple of months on sprint before coming back to Android. I did some homework before and during owning the phone too.
I understand aosp is different than touchwiz. One alternative I could suggest is to get the et4g. Root, recovery and no ciq it after updating to ek02. After that, run sprint id and choose the clean pack. That is a bare bones setup, stockish launcher, and no touchwiz. Then go into the system/app directory and do something like add ".old" to the end of the apk of the bloatware and touchwiz crap. Now you have a pseudo asop looking ROM with the bloat rem'd out.

Leaving for Galaxy Note!...

Hey guys, so I got an amazing deal that i just can't pass up: int'l note plus $25 for my white tmo gs2. I just have some questions though.
Do you guys think that it is worth it. not the value (i kno its a great deal) btu i'm talking performance.
Will i get 4g or just edge?
Thanks for your help

You'll only get edge until T-Mobile refarms the 1900MHz band. There's a dev called bedwa who is working on unlocking the 1700MHz band. Yes, it has it but Samsung has it locked up. The phone has the same modem as the Galaxy Nexus which is pentaband.

I personally think the phone is a bit too big but not a bad upgrade. I would do it for only $25 but no edge.

The only thing stopping me from getting the note is no 4G on tmobile. Once you're used to 4G, there's no used to going back to 56k aka edge

I can't say much regarding call quality nor signal but where I live and commute, there are definite signal blackspots (but not due to the phone). However when the phone actually has a full HSPA connection, it zips through downloads and *uploads*. Sure it might be as fast as some other phones or LTE but it's fine for my uses. Battery life is pretty average to be honest though with a custom ROM and kernel, you really do get a much better battery life (~3 hours on-screen time depending on how hard you use it). I've had 3-4 day standby battery lives though. NOTE: this was when I was using a 4.0.3 ROM.
It seems that Google has improved battery life in the stock 4.0.4 ROM (which I'm currently using).

It's okay. Sometimes I have a feeling people play devil's advocate on purpose for their entertainment.

I would say it is awesome improvement. Have you experienced any browser lag when opening any web pages? It's rampant, it seems, on T-Mobile phones but since the Galaxy Nexus isn't their nor has it been touched and molested by them I believe the lag is non existant. It's awesome. Go for it!

Well the Galaxy Nexus does beat the HTC One series in particular aspects (mainly development/software and the 'open' environment) but many people don't need those aspects so it's up to personal preference. HTC dominates the Nexus in terms of specs.
But who cares, I love the aesthetics of the nexus.

HTC still ships their phones with locked bootloaders. You have to unlock the bootloader via their dev website. But doing so, this will FULLY VOID your warranty and there is no way coming back because you have to provide HTC with your device information. I find this unacceptable. You can alternatively avoid this by finding a exploit to obtain root access etc etc etc.
On the other hand, with Nexus devices--it says that unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty but you can just flash back to stock and then lock the bootloader. They can't tell the difference, and honestly... warranty is only there for physical defects, most of the problems fixed by warranty aren't by software problems unless you brick your device.

It's all about personal preference. The Nexus has data speeds with a theoretical max of 21 Mbps where as the S2 is 42.
On the other hand, the nexus will always have the latest and greatest software ( as long as the device is still supported by google).

Depends on what you're going to do. With a custom ROM, I found the performance to be slightly better with the G.Nexus in normal day-to-day activities such as texting and web browsing (because of Project Butter). However, the difference is pretty small. I also highly prefer the stock OS but G.Nexus does not have wifi calling so that was a deal breaker for me.

I really want a Samsung device. I can't afford 500+ for a new phone. But 350, hella yeah. With this Nexus you wouldn't need to worry about "lack of roms". Plus, from what I've been seeing. I don't think Google is releasing a new Nexus Phone. The Nexus 7 & Q took that place this year. So you wouldn't need to worry about an old device

Get the Galaxy Nexus if you like to get updates from Google and if you want a bigger screen. Get the S2 if you want a better camera and touchwiz.

S2 with AOKP all the way but that's just my opinion.
