[Q] What phone are you gonna get after Desire Z/G2 ?

i'm not thinking about getting a new phone (yet), but what are you guys up to?

I may wait for coming HTC models for late this year or 2012, beats audio powered and sure Ice cream sandwich in da house.
Though Samsung to be considered.
Had my Z for almost one year. Rocks with 2.3!!

I've only had my z for a couple months so not looking too soon (I generally keep a phone for 6-9 months) but when I do swap out I'll probably go for another qwerty handset. Milestone 3 maybe. Unless htc come up trumps with an update to this lovely piece of kit.

My self-imposed goal is to keep on the Desire Z for at least a year, and I got it in December 2010. So I'm going to try to wait it out until end of the year, then see what HTC is offering (or has coming soon) at that time. If I had to get a phone now (if mine broke), I'd look at the Sensation (available from Canada Bell, compatible with AT&T 3G bands) or the Holiday, which is supposed to be out on AT&T soon (this month or next).
Although I'm a bit torn on the hardware keyboard issue lately. This is my 3rd smartphone, all of which have been HTC with a hardware keyboard. But lately I find myself using Swype quite a bit nowadays, and even thinking of going without a hardware keyboard for my next phone. But sometimes, for longer messages I still go back to the hardware keyboard.

i would probably go for the htc sensation XE or sensation once the prices drop on ebay

Hoping for the next nexus or the NEXT next nexus. But I definitely need a FFC and NFC....

Really going to hold out as long as I can. All of these recent phones coming out look nice, but I'm really still happy with the G2. Its fast and very usable, even with (admittedly) lacking specs. Keeping the phone rooted running a custom ROM breathes new life into this device for sure.
I've had the G2 since January, and I'm going to stick with it for several more months. I'm waiting to see the next 'Nexus' device from Google to see if its really worth it. If ICS is as game changing and innovative as I hope, It'll be hard to resist for sure. I think that'll be the deciding factor for me now.
I'm really not hung up on specs. I get everything done just fine on 512mb RAM and 800mhz processor right now, so I'm not exactly drooling for 1gb RAM and dual core just yet (use cases vary obviously). If the interface and new software is great, and I can really get more done with it, I'm sure I'll end up pulling the trigger on a new device like that.
One thing not keeping me on the G2 is the keyboard. Its nice when I need to bang out some long emails or texts, but the extra heft and thickness just isn't worth it to me. It isn't a big negative though. As far as horizontal sliders go the G2 is quite thin.

I've been disappointed with the Nexus series every since Google moved from HTC to Samsung. Samsung has decent hardware (good displays) but casings seem cheap and plastic compared to most HTC phones. And with Google's purchase of Motorola's mobile division, I have a feeling we may see future Nexus versions coming straight from Google, and made by "former" Motorola folks. And personally, I've been consistently underwhelmed by just about every Motorola smartphone, and they are a step below Samsung.

Been hearing the next 'Nexus' device will be named 'Nexus Prime' and manufactured by Samsung as well. I have hopes that Google will go back to HTC because Sammy's build quality is quite lacking (plastic vs aluminium housing).
I will be holding out for the next 'G' or Desire device from HTC for as long as I can. If I had to choose one now, it would be the Sensation or Holiday. I can say for sure that the manufacturer will be HTC though.

ive heard rumour of rogers canada getting the samsung S2 slide this fall...itll be my replacement. with huge hands and fingers i will not type on a screen lol. hw kb is a must for this cat.

Ideally that's what I want, because I've been happy with the "G" series, but I haven't seen any indication that they'll be a third G phone. Hopefully that's the case. If not, then a good HTC phone with a slide out keyboard will do. I find myself using it less and less, but I still would like to have it for the sake of versatility.

It's amazing how much having a phone being rooted extends the life of the phone. I would like to see what the next Google Phone is. I see a lot of 4.5 - 4.7 inch screens coming out. I think i'll ditch the full qwerty for a thinner phone with a larger screen. Hopefully Googarola can make me happy with a Nexus/G3 with a 4.8 inch screen, a 1.5 GHz dual core proc, a 720p front facing camera, and of course ICS.

I recently rooted my Desire Z and am not really looking for a replacement anytime soon.
If I were to replace it now a device like the myTouch 4G Slide (HTC Doubleshot) would suit me perfectly. The only thing I'm really missing is a front camera but I'm definitely happy with my Desire Z for now. Ideally, the HTC Doubleshot would come out in Europe as well as I want a qwerty keyboard, front camera and a screen that's not too big.
I'm currently running Virtuous Doubleshot ROM and really like it.

Hm... there is no replace for Desire Z right now in the market, and that shame.
I think, for me, I will wait tull HTC release some new slider for europe, becouse I quite integrate with HTC Sense, and it is quite nice for me. I dont think how to back to clean android after HTC Sense.
My primary need is phisical qwerty keyboard and medium screen mot less then 3.5" and not bigger then 4".

So far , nothing in mind.
What has a qwerty, track pad, speed, sd, HD cam, 480x800 and up screen res, FM, etc and got a high rating in costumers satisfaction?
Nothing yet. What I'm maybe looking for : 2 core, super amoled, better battery life.

Interesting graphic/article, thanks for posting it. It pretty much mirrors my personal opinion on the build quality and design of the major smartphone manufacturers (HTC>Samsung>Moto>LG). Of course, with the exception of Apple being at the top. As I think most on here would agree, I just don't like Apple's closed ecosystem.

HTC Rezound Now, or Quad-core HTC Edge Later?

Alleged images of the HTC Edge, rumored to be the world's first quad-core smartphone when it launches in early 2012, have surfaced via Pocket Now.
As far as smartphones go, this one is at the top of the food chain. It packs a quad-core, 1.5-GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 CPU, 4.7-inch display with 720p resolution, an 8-megapixel camera with F/2.2 lens, 1GB of RAM, Beats Audio headphones, and the HTC Sense interface. In other words, it's twice as powerful as the HTC Rezound launched last week, which hits Verizon on November 14 for $300.
Strangely, 4G LTE support was not mentioned; instead the Edge is supposed to support 21Mbps HSPA+ (AT&T's old 4G technology).
In February, Nvidia announced Kal-El, the first quad-core mobile processor, and it first hit the market in October via the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime. For more, my colleague Michael Miller "dissected" Kal-El and its "secret fifth core."
Last week, Verizon Wireless and HTC announced the HTC Rezound, HTC's first Beats Audio-paired smartphone. It's a 4G LTE device featuring a 4.3-inch 720p HD display, 1.5-GHz dual-core processor, 32GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, and the latest version of HTC Sense. It also sports an 8-megapixel camera and records video in 1080p. For more, see PCMag's Hands On With the HTC Rezound and slideshow below.

Dang. All that stood out to me was 4.7-inch display. That is huge!
I might wait for this phone. I love my incredible still and putting a different ROM on it every week makes it feel like a new phone. Might hold out for this phone if it is on Verizon's network.

It didn't look like a verizon phone to me, plus I'd rather have a S4 processor than Tegra3

If it said HSPA+ then it's not coming to Verizon.

I think it'll have a cdma counterpart that comes to VZW. Hopefully 4G LTE will be included.

4.3 is too big
4.7 is ridiculous. I hope people don't buy these phones so manufactures can start making them portable again.
They say Q1 or Q2, but they're known to have delays on big phones like this so it may be Q3 or Q4, or later. I wouldn't wait for this one if I was you.

Doesn't matter how many cores it has. HTC will find new and exciting ways to make the superphone choppy and laggy through bloat and inefficient software design.
I guess there is a difference if you plan on putting AOSP on it though.

Huh, weird. Because Sense 3.5 runs perfectly fine on my phone, as good as AOSP, with obviously a few exceptions because of how old this Incredible hardware is, and since there's still a few little bugs in the rom.
Anyways, all these ICS phones are gonna be awesome, and it's awesome that this one still has capacitive buttons, so far. Battery life on it should be awesome though, except the rumor that it's 4.7 inches, that's basically close to the really small tablet area. But if it truly does come with 720p resolution, hopefully the rom from it will get ported to the Rezound

At what point will these quad core behemoth's start needing cooling fans.

The only way I've gotten sense 3.5 to work well on my phone is with the "2D hack" that the rcmix team figured out to make the sense widgets not have 30 different objects to render at once (calendar comes to mind). Even then, there's the dreaded pull down notification lag which is even present on the Amaze 4G, but amplified on our older hardware. Not to mention that despite all this it STILL takes 3-4 seconds to launch common apps like DIALER as opposed to the nearly instantaneous AOSP.
They have good UI designers but terrible programmers.

Quad-core. They should save battery, though nobody's entirely sure with phones. The first quad core tablet, the Asus Transformer Prime that's coming out, has a battery life of 12 hours while using it...plus I think like 16 or 18 with the keyboard dock. I'm not sure what size battery it has, but that's nice. And I'm pretty sure it has to do with the quad core
Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible using XDA App

First, I doubt that's a phone that's coming in 2012... ICS does NOT support capacitive buttons and any Android phone that releases in 2012 without ICS is going to languish.
Second, it's certainly not coming to Verizon with HSPA+. There are plenty of great phones that come out on other carriers that never make it to Verizon.
A note about the Tegra 3... The reason it's going to have such amazing battery life is because there is actually a fifth core, called a companion core, that it switches to when the phone isn't doing anything. Cool technology...
As an aside, when is a screen too big?

My quad core dell xps has terrible battery, but i have it set to max performance with the 2 gig nvidia card in it. Only lasts 1.5 hours.

Really? Cause the nexus s port of ics uses the capacitive touch buttons...all HTC has to do is write the code to make it work...that's too easy to be a reason it won't get ics..

Yeah, ICS most definitely DOES support capacitive buttons, because otherwise, that'd be a total fail in Android by doing that, considering all the phones that are potentially getting upgraded. It's just common sense. And yep, I've read plenty about the companion core. Finally, a screen is too big to me when I can't comfortably hold, and operate it at the same time with one hand, a nearly 5 inch screen is not comfortable. Might as well get a small tablet if you want that kind of screen size. That on a cell phone is ridiculous. 4.3 is the highest I'll go.

i may get another phone...

Heyyy another Pittsburgher lol. You are correct, we were relatively early in the wimax roll out, so I expect a similar timeline for LTE.

Nice Phone ...But Im waitin on the Quad Cores and I had HTC for a long time but I think Im gonna stick with Sammy...Time will tell...

ill prbly have both the s3 and 1x also you do realize this is a dualcore a15 not an a9 and the lte chip is built in so MUCH better battery life. This is a Krait http://www.anandtech.com/show/4170/qualcomms-announces-krait-cpu-the-successor-to-scorpion
it is one bad piece of silicon.
Also with its upgraded graphics it may not be as fast as the exy gen 2 but seeing as how it will be a much more common chip for both at&t sprint and prbly verizon this will make for much faster rom development between the 3 as only the modem should be different.

Nice I've never owned an HTC but I have always liked them, this phone looks sweet!

HTC has one big problem. Some of their drivers have been abysmal in the past.
They put together nice hardware, always. Then they don't use its features. Like gpu acceleration.
I've always owned htc devices since original HTC Touch. Epic Touch was my first Sammy device. And it's like night and day in terms of how snappy it is, compared to say - evo 3d (which I still own, and just used it for about 3 weeks when my old epic touch was in repair.)
Even those T-mob gs2 are apparently much snappier than anything HTC put out with the same scorpion chipset - Sammy just know to properly optimize drivers and deliver the full power of the hardware.

Looks like a nice device but I think I will be sticking with my epic touch for a while.

nabbed you also cant forget sense was not gpu aceled thats part of it. even if they had good drivers. it wouldnt of made a diff

Ewww no best option is

GN is a downgrade compared to Epic touch - slower gpu and lower res camera.
This design decision by Google has always baffled me - let's make our brand new flagship phone slower than the 10 months old phone by the same manufacturer.

Just wanted to chime in.
1. Quad Core is not actually always better. The phone OS is not optimized for it yet. So, you are really running a 4 cylinder engine on 2. Plus, the current quad cores use the previous generations technology. I read an article that said the new s4 processors are 40 percent more powerful per core over the tegra 3. So, this dual core is faster and more advanced than the tegra 3.
Another way to look at it is the 4 banger in my AUDI is faster than the V6 in your Taurus.
2. The new phone doesn't look anything like the one in the pic. That is a One X. Sprint is not getting the ONE X.

Another pittsburgher here, I am going to wait for the s3 also. The one x looks great but the s3 will probably be alot more optimized. I just hope they put out the white one at launch instead of waiting a month or two after launch.

the iPhone has really good hardware. Besides that point, the primary reason iOS performs so well (besides the steller hardware) is that that iOS does more RealTime prioritizing. It essentially gives the current task top priority, which is why iOS can't do real multi tasking, they suspend apps and then resume them as needed (Android does this too, albeit slightly different - onPause onResume, etc).
So the combination of the iPhone's good hardware with high prio. for the foreground tasks is why their OS is super snappy (this could be called great design, and they definitely utilize their hardware to the max for rendering effects and what not)
It has nothing to do with Objective-C vs Java either, as some people think. Ever since the dalvik VM has adopted JIT, the performance differences between the languages is minimal

i hate to break it to you but megapixels doesnt equal image quality, my nexus s 4g blows the water out of my photons 8mp camera. samsung makes really decent cameras. same goes for teh iphone, it has hands down one of the BEST image sensors in the market for phones.
so even though the iphone 4's camera is 5MP's i would honestly stack it up against almost any android phone currently out in terms of picture quality. now if your looking for bigger images then yea grab that 8mp camera.
the reason why apple doesnt need to have the best hardware out there every 6 months is because they only have at most 6 (current gen iphone, ipad and itouch plus previous gen) platforms to write iOS for, and they do a VERY good job of optimizing the code for em all. companies like samsung or htc have a crapload of devices flooding the market each one more different than the last thus making it hard to make sure ics runs amazingly great on one platform and then starting the next. despite having older hardware and crappy features (IMO) the iphone isnt still around because its a social thing, there is actually some benefits.
P.S. i would like to state that i am a former iphone 3g owner, and i will never go back to that crap, if android collapses ill go wp7 before ios again

No thanks. I like seeing my phone screen in the day time

Im sold if the bootloader is unlocked and it comes in black.

sold my SGS3 keeping my HTC ONE X

I thought I get myself this stellar phone heard so much good reviews about it.
originally had HTC ONE X unlocked worked flawless.
The moment I opened the SGS3 held it in my hand for a few minutes booted it up played around with it OH DEAR!!
it felt like a toy!
I was hugely disappointed and didn't want to bring it back to the shop where I got it from due to the fact I was "bigging it up" I rang my friend who has a galaxy nexus He bought it off me for 20 pounds cheaper. and I am back to my HTC ONE X it absolutely slaughters the SGS3 in looks and feel and oh that touch wiz is utterly disgusting I hated it on my SGS2 which I had for a few months but gave it away to my niece.
To add insult to injury My freind also kept his HTC ONE X and Put the SGS3 on ebay not sure if I can post the listing on here . so any one who has a new home for the SGS3 maybe those with children it would make a good toy
So I apologise to the ONE X member that i jumped ship. beleive me the HTC one X is better than SGS3 in all departments
and btw NVidia has some news about Tegra 3 new driver keep your ears pealed

I'm in the same boat had my HOX first and got 2 SGS3s that I will be returning to Amazon. 1st device has yellow tint, second device has the blue tint at angles. This is typical of AMOLED screens.
I love the sgs3 but love my hox just as much. The Samsung had the better battery life but other than that I prefer the hox for its better screen, and looks and design. HOX also to me had the edge on the camera and the camera software is better.
Both phones are excellent but I'm just in love with the hox and it'll only get better.

The HTC ONE X screen is a beauty to behold stunning is a misused superlative but that description fits perfectly for the screen. I just don't understand if this was supposed to be the flagship for Samsung why did they make it feel like a light kinder surprise toy?
Guess I was drawn in by the hype.
What I did notice was the standby power consumption basically it was diabolic!
I will find the link about tegra+ using a slightly over clocked core. and compatible gpu class driver.

Thanks
Haha! Hope i'm not getting excited over nothing special, but that would be no problem whatsoever
edit: i just noticed you said tegra+, so that means it won't apply to the one x

i dint find any suitable thread and that y asking here. will it be wise enough to buy a second hand HOX from UK. and can anyone tell me what would be the price of a Second-hand HOX in UK. i am gonna go to UK and buy one.

Pentile Screen, ugly appearance, no sense...This is why I won't buy SGS3.

In the region of £300-£330. I've seen some go for under £300!

Tegra+ will be tegra 3 (old one) with LTE support. so GPU drivers and 4-PLUS-1 core will be compatible with HOX tegra.

So how do we flash the new radio and anyone got a link.

My story is simple i watched Galaxy S3 world premiere and in couple of days i bought One X just like that i really had high hopes S3 would be made out of magnesium or steel or something really solid but no its made even worse then One X as it proves in this topic. The looks is important too, quad core device should look like an awesome device with machine guns and lasers and stuff not like a soap for girls "designed for humans" hhahaha

@Raider0001: Agreed with you, but i got ocasion to hold it and play with it. Its really good phone, but design is fsc*ked up ...
@POOOLSKAAAA BIAŁO CZERWONI!

hold your horses what's that about tegra and new drivers?

I don't know, i just explained what tegra3+ is

yes tegra 3 is not going anywhere and with the upcoming nexus tablet being tegra 3 expect the kernel source to keep getting updates

What made you pick this phone vs. S3?

I picked this phone vs the S3 because the blue S3 looked cheap and plasticy but what I didn't realize is that the white looks actually pretty nice. Definitely not as nice as the One X, due to the unibody they can make the back really nice. The removable back leads in a plasticy look. Another thing was, that was 500-600 dollars and the one x was 400-500.
On a side rant, I feel that Samsung and Apple are so popular for their unification. Yes, unification. There is one apple connector and one iOS. Simplicity with OS and unification. You can tell your friend about an awesome app and they can get it too because there is one iPhone 4, yet a bunch of android phones. However, Samsung brings US that unity.

Cool story bro..

I can't see this thread lasting, as comparison threads don't seem to be allowed.
However, my personal reasons were:
1. ICS was a disaster compared to GB on the SGS2, it looked awful, it ran slower, and had force closures. (It actually benchmarked higher, but ran worse)
2. I've always had Samsung for android, and fancied a change.
3. The specs of the HOX were amazing, and to offer these many months before the SGS3, win win.
4. Screen, design, camera and tegra3 were all big plus points for me.
sense was an unknown to me, but was pleased in videos and even more pleased once used.
After seeing and using my mates S3, to say I'm happy is an understatement - the screen alone makes the choice much easier for me to choose.

it came out first and i'm very impatient
it was the best move though, imo. i got it before they announced the sgs3, and when they did, i was kind of relieved.
even more after the update showed that the gap between the performance of the two is not that huge, specially
considering how much sexier and with a gorgeous display

Talking about ads, when I saw the adv, I feel like it was focused on girls and teenagers. That s counts too.

Becuase it's made by HTC.
1)I've tried many android phones but my One X and my old Desire had the best build quality, the material both phones are made from is very unlikely to catch scratches my old Desire still looks like new with no case on.
2)I love Sense.
3)Its specs were mind blowing to me.
4)Screen and camera.

Sense
The fact that it has sense which is much better than Kies and the e-book reading on this screen is really very good.

1. Looks - HOX is way nicer looking than the S3. I wanted to llike the S3 but just couldn't because it was so ugly.
2. Sense - Sense UI is way more polished (especially after 4.1 update). TW seems incomplete with a mix of TW and stock that doesn't mix well together.
3. Screen - Truer colors and sharper text.

My previous phone was the SGS2 and my phone before that the Desire and although the SGS2 was a much more powerful phone I missed all the functionality of Sense

I had the Galaxy S3 and sent it back and got the One X.
Didn't like Touchwiz at all. And the Samsung plasticky feel was awful. I thought it was a bit over-rated when I tried it myself but that's just my opinion.
Much prefer the One X.
Only thing I liked better about the S3 was the Unlocked booloader and removable battery.

Comming from an HTC Sensation that I really disliked (after having an HD2....I was so disappointed with the Sensation, seing the GS2), I wanted the GS3 because I had lost my faith in HTC capacity to provide THE most powerful device.
But I had the HOX for free as a gift from a very good friend
....and found the HOX was very good, as good as the GS3, for me both are just at the same level, a real question of personnal taste, having one in each hand, I couldn't decide which is the best.
So actually, nothing made me choose
