What Will be your next Android Phone

Hi All
I want to generate a poll about you, desire users.
About using my desire after a year I'm planing to change it.
Some of the reasons,
Low internal storage
Mismultitocuh screen
Lower process power than new phones.
You! Desire User! Which one you ll buy?
You can write your own models...
My choice is SGS2

HTC Sensation/SGS2 - depends on the hands-on test, when I'm tested them both.

I'm little angry with touchscreen of my desire and htc.
And as I search for some touchscreen documents and i saw that Samsung using best Touchscreen hardware. (ATMEL)
And also SAMOLED+ pulling me.
Sensation has lower internal memory that makes me angry.

After rooting my desire I have had little issues with storage but am noticing processor speed starting to not handle some apps and games, I do like more of a stock Android look so I might go with an Atrix with Launcher Pro UI...but before my new phone it will be a Motorola Xoom!!!!

My answer is none of those lol..i'm just not impressed enough by the new dual-core processors, i guess i'll wait for some 2ghz(+) one before i drop my Desire

Something that will have an android 2.4 already. Im going to wait till google i/o next month. We might see some monster phones before the year ends that runs on 2.4.
I will not buy a SGS2 cause i might wait another year just for me to get an upgrade knowing how much crap they put on touchwiz. It will take them forever just to port 2.4 on on sgs2. The same for sensation.

No matter what, I am waiting for 2012 for a new phone for a couple of reasons.
1) I want a brilliant dual core (1.5GHz)
2) My contract doesn't run out till Dec this year anyway.
The Desire is still one of the most powerful phones on the market and getting something like a Nexus S will be defeating the purposes of upgrading. So dual core for me with a pretty good graphics chip. Not bothered about OS version. 2.3 is good enough for me.

I think it's good time to sell my desire, it makes 300$ in Turkey now adays and this is a good number for here. If i wait for some more time , i cant sell it for this number.
I think sensation and sgs2 will take 2.4 easily

Same here. Don't see the point upgrading to another single core.

None of the Poll devices. My next phone will have HW keyboard. But not sure will I get a new device for years. Desire rocks. Been rocking a year next month.

I will possibly get the HTC Sensation, provided it's rootable and "s-offable" not too long after release.
I got the Incredible S but only kept it a couple of weeks because it's too heavily protected (signed bootloader says hello). It was a nice phone though but my Desire can do much more so I went back to it.

Same here. My contract end in 2012 and there is currently no worthy replacement for my Desire with CM7.

"other"
the HTC Evo 3D will not be released in the UK (according to HTC) so I will be going for the LG Optimus 3D

I will try the this one: Lumigon T1 . It is the companies first cellphone, so ill try

HTC for me ))
And Sensation all the way )) I'll wait a bit when the prices drop

Do you have a source for this?
Because I was really looking forward to a GSM version of this. HTC France twitter said something about getting it and france uses GSM.
I do like the look of the Optimus 3D but LG is a bit meh...
and I love HTC sense!

I'm most probably going to buy the HTC Sensation. The only thing I can think of that would make me change my mind would be the battery life. If the phone can't handle over a day of medium to heavy usage, I'm not going to buy it. I complained endlessly when I get my Desire because of it's terrible battery life. Then I found out that good Android phones don't really get much better battery life.

Hmmm...I don't plan to get a new phone this year...but....
I vote for Sensation.

oh no what did I just do

I just ordered an SGS2, well my mobile contract just expired and I had to renew. I paid e118 for the phone. But I guess I will really miss my desire and sense, I really wish the Sensation could match the SGS2 but it simply can't

In what terms sensation can't match sgs2?

Screen quality(samoled+ vs slcd) , battery live, internal storage capacity(16 vs 1 GB ), memory (1 GB vs 768 MB ), the sensation's bootloader will be locked .
BTW on the sgs1 they have a mostly working sense 2.1+3.0 port (it worked about as good as the port to desire 6 weeks ago...)

Well I got my SGS2 but I am using the old desire again, man did HTC do a good job with their user experience.

dunno i would go sgs2, and then probably look to make a working miui rom on it. I think HTC did a great job at the start. But with making their bootloaders more locked down and just generally making it harder to customise i wont get a HTC again. Which is a shame.

Desire getting old, what's the next Dev favorit?

I've had my desire for quite a while now, and i still like it, it is a good phone, but nonetheless it is also getting older.
I've noticed that there seems to be a bigger dev community for desire than other devices.
Wondering what the next favourite is.
I don't think it'll be desire s with it's single core cpu, 5mp camera & 1450 mAh battery.
HTC Amaze or Sensation both seems to be a better choice.
Where does the devs go for next?

I think for me its too early to tell. Desire has a lot of life still. I'm not upgrading until may but there's nothing now for me that blows the desire out of the water. I'm still enjoying my desire. Come may I may even go sim only
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

majority of devs moved over to Sensation.

That is good to know, when you want a new phones, it's nice to know where the majority of devs are.

A fair few dev's seem to have vanished from here I think - but some went to DHD and most went to Sensation as far as I can tell.
I'm not going to be upgrading soon (maybe in 6 months or so I'll reconsider) - so hoping there's a fair bit of life left - we have sense 3.0 ports, sense 3.5 ports - I imagine the next big step is making a full featured, stable 3.5 with no major bugs, and then whatever ICS brings (sense 4.0 perhaps?) - if ICS can be ported over then anything after that might be a stretch I imagine

You think the Desire could handle ICS? Now I'm excited!!
My contract isn't up until May as well but I'll feel sad moving on because it's been such a great device. Just a pity about the low internal memory

It is too early for me to think my next phone. My Desire is still function very well and fulfill my need. But, up to now, I observed that many devs moved to Sensation.

Well if google chooses to release the sourcecode of ics the chances are very good that we can have it running on the desire.
However personally i'm thinking of moving to the new nexus device depending on the specs google release next week. It might take a couple of months or more before we will see it in Denmark.

they already said they would - they got a fair bit of stick for not releasing HC - it wouldn't make sense to back out of it again - although it will probably be a few months after the nexus device is released before the source is available I guess?

I would just love for a new device with a more powerful processor, but still the 3,7" screen.
More than 3,7" is too large. It won't fit in my pocket without me being afraid I might bend it.
I don't know if I should stick with HTC or get a LG or Samsung. They would probably run clean Android with LauncherPro etc. like I do now.
I'm a sucker for things running smooth (iTunes is a dealbreaker, always)

Samsung Galaxy Note
I want a tablet , but I also want a phone , this seams to be the best of both worlds .
However , I wont be bale to buy anything till April next year , so by then the quad core phones will be out!

I am wondering the same... tomorrow I may sell my lovely Desire, and then add some money... but I don't know what to get. I am think about Sensation or Galaxy S II.
What do you guys think? Any third option? Btw, HTC Sense is a plus to me, I like it.

I didn't see this post before i added my own. Should've searched really. I don't think there is anything out at the moment that is taking my fancy. I didn't understand the release of the desire s or the need for HTC to release so many phones in such a short space of time.
The desire name is one of the greats in the mobile business and one they will continue to use...so im hoping there will be a new version by the time i can upgrade.

Totally agree.
And I can use, with it, the last software at the moment (inclusive Sense)

I only like my desire fast so I haven't bothered with anything above sense 1.9. I will be sticking with supernova for the a while.

At the moment Desire can still keep up with the new flagship phones although they are already much better than the good old Desire.
I wonder, what and when I should get a new Android smartphone...or...tablet.
Something like:
Amoled or better screen
3.7-4.0" screen size
max 15mm thick body
Quadcore proc
at least 1GB RAM
at least 16 GB internal memory for ROM, davlik cache, etc....and still expandable by using memory card.
Front and back facing camera
HD1080 smooth playback
at least 8-10 hours battery life on permanent usage...not on standby...
aluminium unibody...I just can not resist this type of casing...
gorilla glass
rootable
s-off-able
costs max €500

Spot on. Was thinking the same kinda thing myself. I don't want a screen over 4" max. Starts getting too big for your pocket.
Just my opinion....

Hmmm... your own customized Android smartphone..do not make me start to drool... LOL ...

I want the Desire 2 with the exact shape/form factor as Desire with update technology such as dual core A9, AMOLED Plus, BT 4.0, ICS with Sense x.x , 1 GB of RAM, 8mp with 1080p, 4GB internal memory with MicroSD, rooted and s-off.

[Q] Desire HD.. OR Sensation XL??

Hi guys
Thanks for this great forum, and special thanks goes to you Capy, you are ****ing awesome!!
I have had my DHD for allmost a year now, and have been using several different roms for it, the one i am most happy with, is the RCMix3d Runny..
Oh yeah!
Now i got some questions..
My old DHD is about to retire, and i have these options..
Buy a "new" used one, that has been used for two months, and then have it for another year.. I am really a glad user of the DHD, and i wouldnt mind having the model for another year..
OR i could go and buy the Sensation XL..
But then some questions do pop up, that only develepors and other other people who knows a lot more than me, can answer..
Will the developing of ROMS and custom stuff, be quite as much for the Sensation XL, as it is for the DHD?
I think that i am only gonna go with the RCMix Runny..
and my biggest concern right now, is how to flash it?
I've heard something about all new models from HTC comes allready with s-off and all the other stuff off, so that you can install another rom, without flashing.. Is that correct?
Thank you so much for your time!

no not correct. they need rooting and then flashing roms .the s_off progress is only some kind of preparation. i thing XL is better cause it has 1080p recording and a sense 3.5 rom itself!!! and it will have good android 4 roms

But after reading this:
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/42444/htc-sensation-xl-xe-vs
I will say that the Sensation XE is better, though it has a smaller screen..
More pixels
Never processor
Records 1080p, which XL doesn't, only 720p
HDMI out, XL doesn't have
1730mAh battery, the XL has 1600
Its only screen size and memory size, that XL beats XE..

thanks, that sounds awesome, never heard of it..
but, i cant wait a half year..
one of the reasons that i need a new one soon, is that my wifi doesn't work anymore, after i dropped the phone..
my gps doesnt work either
the volume button works only half the time..
i could have it repaired under the warranty, but it then i will first have it back in january, that sucks..
EDIT:
WTF!?!?
just read another article about it
The tegra 3 is supposed to come with a 10.1 inch screen.. thats way to big for a "cellphone".. never gonna buy that!

Hi,
I had my DHD for 9 months and two weeks ago i bought a Sensation XE. The XE is a great phone and the best part of it is that there is a RcMix Rom for it
If i were you i would buy the XE (Dualcore) and not the XL (Singlecore). I'm sure you will be very happy with it (it's like the Monster Edition of the DHD).
And the price is not so high, i got mine for €450 ($500 i think). To get S-off, CWM and root is very easy with this phone, it takes about 10 minutes and you can flash your RcMix Rom.

Lol, tegra3 phone will be launched next year..
Well, seems you need a new phone deperately, i would say why nt get a second hand phone first while waiting yr phone to be repaired??
If you have cash, den i would say go for htc rezound or sensation XE, but nt XL..

Cash is no problem at all, i can buy exact the model i want witouth simlock..
HTC Rezound can't be bought in Denmark
But i think i might get the XE then.
Thanks to all of you

Sensation XE WOULD BE GOOD ACCORDING TO ME..

I would suggest you to wait. I got my DHD as soon as it was launched and ever since i have been so happy with it. I can assure you, you are not missing much.
I am waiting for rumored HTC Ville...There s not much difference between Sensation (XE, XL whatever) and DHD

Not much difference??? qHD res., 1.5 GhZ Dualcore, Beats by DR. Dre, stronger battery, 1080p video record, front camera to name only 6 things.
There is enough difference betwen DHD and XE but not so much between DHD and XL.
I loved my DHD but i love my XE much more

HTC One X owners, do you recommend the purchase?

Hello there.
I've waited few months to retire my old HTC Desire and purchase a new device, for few weeks ago I've been waiting the release of the HTC one X but now I've been reading some topics about issues and problems that the owners are suffering...
So here is my question to the One X owners, would you recommend the device to your best friend?
Thanks

Read back to the comments on DHD forums when that came out. Same with the Sensation. They both had teething issues for some users, and I don't regret getting either. There will always be people with problems, and they will be the most vocal.

OI! Thats my phone, get yourself something else!!!

I recommend iPhones to most people only because most people I know just want something easy to use. Not that Android is easy, but Apple is easier and they can just take it into an Apple Store if something doesn't work. The support system is much better.
HOWEVER, the One X is a much better phone than anything else on the market!

short answer: yes
long answer: alot of yes

The choice is yours I've gone from dhd to the one x don't think I would look back either
Screen crisp clear
Build fantastic
Use smooth and quick
Really light weight
Yes there is reports of minor issues on some of them but its nothing major and will be fixed the only I have is battery life mine dies faster that my gf she got 18 hours out of first charge the difference is I'm a heavy user she isn't
The rest of reported issues I've not had

I guess U should. Since U are coming from desire.
But for me, the reason I got one was initially because of the "big" screen. Am using a titan currently and absolutely love the screen minus the lower pixel count. When I got One x, I was quite disappointed actually. I dun quite like the material used and the "bigger" screen. Its the screen ratio that actually turned me off.. The screen is taller but not really much wider than my trusty hd2. So, the "bigger screen is not what I had expected. Speed wise, blazing fast compared to my hd2. But, do I really need blazing? I guess not.. I can bare with a few millisec of waiting time. So, I am kinda disappointed tbh. IMHO.

Anyone had THE argument yet?
oops

Yes, but wait for the battery saving update coming and for some cases in the shops. My camera feels way to exposed to scratches so have ordered a clear back case which is 10 days away. Screen is amazing compared it to s2 and iPhone 4s and they don't even come close.
I came from HTC desire.

#Smeagol off
I'd recommend it, but if you are the kind of user who wants a flawless experience from the start = wait 2 weeks so all the bugs are updated.

My first few hours coming from a DHD I was sceptical because I was so used to the DHD and the Virtuous affinity ROM is amazingly smooth.
After 1 day I am completely loving the one x.
It's holding battery much better than my DHD with the same accounts syncing too.
The camera and screen are actually stunning, not just a turn of phrase. I was jaw dropped streaming HD and filming 1080p.
I actually prefer using my one x with headphones for media than my laptop and TV put together now

I recommend it.

Honestly, no. Not yet.
I would wait to see what HTC do to address the awful battery life and overheating before buying.
If the reviews would have been more realistic, I would have been in a better position to judge.
Feel let down by the main reviewers, but then they did have an update that us mere peasants aren't allowed. Sketchy move from HTC if you ask me, the phone we get is not what was reviewed. Foul.

Because they needed to get it to them before the reviews were published, so that they'd reflect what HTC intended the user experience to be like before the handset was released to the public later that week.
Sensible though that strategy is, it sort of comes undone when you don't push that update to the retail handsets in time for them going on general sale. I imagine it was because the 1.27 update was a quick hack to fix the major outstanding issues that would be likely to turn up in reviews, whereas 1.28 would need to be fully tested before being delivered (because having effectively supplied a handset with pre-release software there'd be hell on if the first update didn't work perfectly), but it could still have been handled better.

YESS u should..but to each his own...
For the screen size remarks....
I`m coming from the DHD and the Sensation XE.
And i`m loving the new bigger screen.
The colors,..The sharpness it`s just a marvel
But again what works for one doesn`t have to work for all.
About the speed.....
Just lightning
CF Benchmark
23839, 6010 , 13050
Antutu
11524
Monjori
38 FPS
Nenamark 2
48 FPS
So the CPU goes like a bat out of hell
The GPU at the moment is the same as my Sensation XE ( adreno 220 @ 320Mhz )
Batterylife looks to be OK.
But when u stress it it takes a lot of juice.
The companion core works perfectly cause the standyby hours are super
