What will your next phone be?

The desire is a great phone, phenomenal back when it came out, but it is nearing 2 years old and will likely never see an official update again.
I personally will be waiting for a good flagship quad core phone. This looks tempting if it's real :

but we'll see when 2012 comes around.

What, previous thread isn't good enough for you?

Galaxy s4, 2013 htc flagship or iphone

Probably HAL 9000

+1! Sensation XL looks awesome...

anyone saw anything about that htc vile or whatever it was?
seemed crazy specs... will wait till probably mid-next year before i think of a new phone

It will be the first HTC GSM smartphone with a 720p screen available.

My guess is it'll be SGS2 ..pricing on that one is great considering the hardware! The ROMS are getting pretty solid aswell

Depends on the price, but HTC SensXL or SGS II.

The Desire is already my 'plaything', my daily driver is an Atrix... It's quite likely that my next phone will be the rumored HTC Edge, I just miss the build quality, and the dev community HTC phones seem to attract. But HTC seem to like only making powerful phones which are massive nowadays so although having played with a Sensation more now and liking the size a bit more I might rethink that depending on what it looks like at release (4.7" screen?!)

Have no idea yet, but i guess it might be another HTC phone, i have a favor of this

The rumoured HTC Zeta or HTC Edge.
Google that !!!

i am planing on the galaxy nexus, but i am not sure jet. if not than galaxy s3

HTC Sense-based one, because of reach user experience, because of lack of it in pure google staff. Galaxy Nexus has a hw bug now with GSM900 networks, hope google recalled buggy phones and repair this POS.

I'm looking for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but are tempted to await some quad-core phone.

Probably the nexus prime, when it comes down in price.

Loving Htc Sense so my next phone will again be a Htc one.
But I will wait till 2013 i think.

I would choose htc again if they change their update policy... no updates no htc..

[Q] will there be a good replacement in 2012?

I love my phone but it.s getting a little old
i hope they will release a new good qwerty phone this year.
my wishlist is
bigger screen amoled, it doesn't bother me with the size
better hinges
more power, a real top of the line phone, with hoppefully the same overclocking capability
hdmi out for emulatorgaming
better and faster camera, the focus suxs
and a thick phone with a decent battery, none of this ultrathin crap
ARE THERE ANY PLANS THIS YEAR FOR SUCH A PHONE?

Na, like with the desire z, i'll just wait until the first blond 14 year old girl buys it and then don't know how to use it, buys a iphone instead then sell it to me for little or nothing
I payed 210usd for this last year, almost new :0
(Tapatalk, phone)

I'm also wanting to upgrade this yyear, probably going to get an android tablet next month, in which case, if there isn't a decent phone similar to this by july, ill wait for an iphone 5

the droid 4 looks like they have the right idea, but its to thin, and i dont like when they waste so much space on the front, no need for buttons,
and i dont like when they make some parts of a phone thin and others thick.

bigger screen, bigger battery and this would be mine

As I've said in numerous identical threads, get the MyTouch 4G Slide. We have overclock, our ROMs are mostly Sense-free with CM9 around the corner, and there is no hinge problem.

I don't think mytouch lineup is even available here.. its ugly anyway. Droid 4 would be the phone to get atm, but i'm fine whit DZ for a year more @least..
For more power i'm getting android tablet once the new ones come out. Probably transformer prime, but first, i want to see whats the Lenovo tegra 3 tablet. I would like a proper stylus enabled tablet.

The MT4GS is less than five months old and still a top-of-the-line device that's beaten the Galaxy Nexus in an Antutu benchmark test.

[COMPARISON] Samsung Galaxy Nexus vs. Samsung Galaxy S III

We got the S III last week, and been wanting to put up some comparison shots between the Nexus and the S3.
disclaimers:
- I use the nexus on daily basis, and have been for the past few months, so my opinion might be biased.
- the nexus is modded. the S3 is stock.
Feel: both phones feel about the same weight, however, to me, the S3 feels bigger when holding it (probably because of the bigger screen size). The nexus' textured body gives a much better grip than the S3s smooth body.
Display: You probably can't tell from the pictures, but the nexus has a curved display and the S3 doesn't. both displays are great, and with the right ROM/Kernel, they'd both look beautiful.
Performance: S3 feels faster than the nexus.. even with the stock ROM. Their hardware specs aren't the same, so no surprise there.
I was really waiting for the S3 to come out, as some of you may have as well. Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll try to answer all that I can.

I know. Noticed it now. Can't move it myself? (or delete) waiting to see if someone can help.

I am not going to blame you but, please read the rules and watch where you post

Is the Nexus running JB?

Probably not, a friend of mine also has a S3 and I own the Gnex of course. The Gnex is faster than the S3 with Jelly Bean on the homescreen and opening apps. The downside is of course the hardware and the S3 is way better in benchmarks, but anyway, jelly bean makes the Gnex really unique, at least until the S3 gets jelly bean.

$350 vs. $650+
Nuff said.
+15-20% performance for almost double the price.
S3 is a very nice phone that has very poor value.

You think the Gnex dislplay is beautiful? Pffft, that phone feels so ghetto after getting my One X.

i prefere the pure unlocked UI untouched google phone! and that is Gnexus 4ever!

Using a non Nexus phone makes me feel like a 2nd class citizen as far as software-side is concerned, and I concern about that. I went through 4 Android phones in the last year and the Nexus is where I'm gonna stay until there's another Nexus that's worth upgrade to, likely next year.

Q&A!

I have both s3 and nexus I think with jelly bean nexus is fast but all I
Over s3 is better.

I have a GNEX running JB with Franco Kernel and personally it is pretty much perfect for what I use it for. I gave up buying the latest must haves a few yewars ago as I found that I wasn`t really using them to anywhere near their true potential.
I can`t see me changing my current phone for sometime yet. Just does all I need.

Displays look nice but that hardware button on the s3 really throws off the looks for me...

This was a stupid comment. You probably never been near a real ghetto to even be able to make that comment. Just sounded cool, huh?

There is a thread in the stickies for phone comparisons.

[Q] Anyone making the switch to iPhone 5

Curious if anyone decided to make the switch from Gnex over to the iPhone 5.

Why?

Why bother? The GNexus has more features, more customizabilty, a modern OS, and is a proper improvement over the last Google phone.

Not me, that ios is just so exciting I'm not sure I could handle it!

No why would I? It's a downgrade + next Nexus is possibly around the corner.

No thanks next nexus out in less than 3mo

Not a chance. Came over from 3gs, 4 & 4s. That UI has never changed, so uninspiring & dull.

Negative! Downgrade IMO, but I'd love to play with one so I can go back and feel what Android early 2011 felt like

I'd be willing to save you a place in line if you are elderly!

I would love to have enough money to buy an iPhone 5 off contract from the apple store. I'd be the guy who walks out of the store, unbox it in front of everyone waiting, smash it on the wall and stomp it a few times then leave.

I think the nexus area is the worst to ask this. In short HELL no

My brother bought one. Once it arrives I'll make a final judgement of it, but as of right now I'm leaning towards buying one.

The only thing the iPhone 5 has that is a major improvement over the GN is the camera. Other than that, if you already have a GN, I don't see a major reason to jump to the new iPhone.

Cuz i like being shackled and surrounded by a support group with the same shackles. :banghead:

Element Case for Nexus 5

Element Case has some very sexy (and pricey) cases for iPhone and I'm hoping they decide to make one of their higher-end cases for our phones. Would you buy an equivalent style case (presuming similar cost) if one were available for your N5? I'd like to put together a friendly petition of sorts to encourage them to consider it--if we have some interest. I know these cases are pretty costly but they are very pretty.

I'd buy one in a heart beat!
I love my Android phones but have wanted a seriously nice phone/case for many years and NOBODY delivers that for android. There are so many super cool high end cases for iPhones and nothing for android. Even the makers of the cool high end iPhone cases seem to cheap out when they make a version for an Android phone!
In all honestly an iPhone will do what in *need* even without some of the blingy Android toys. I've considered switching just to an iPhone just to have some of the cooler accessories!

I would buy one for sure. Seeing how I already dropped and cracked one n5 screen from a very small drop( luckily I am a Sprint cellphone repair technician). I don't usually use a case because it takes away from the beauty of the phone. But a case like one of those above would indeed enhance the sleek style of the n5. !!--3 thumbs up--!!

Well, this way the total price would be equivalent to a regular flagship.

Guys... The price would hardly be $200. They only charge that much for iGeeks. Look at the prices for the S3 and S4.
