What's the best device to replace the Nexus One with this month?

Great phones like Evo 4G have been released and we're looking forward to devices like Samsung Galaxy S, Droid X.
Here's a list of reasons why I'm considering replacing my Nexus One:
Better screen because this could be the single most important part of the phone, like what Jobs said (larger screen, no multi-touch issue, Super AMOLED)
Front-facing camera for video calling
Nexus One can be sold at a good price today, especially in some areas in the world
Physical Keyboard (if there is an option with this all)
Why Samsung Galaxy S?
4.0" seems to be the most optimal size
Super AMOLED
Price
Front-facing camera
I'm most compelled to get the Samsung Galaxy S, because of the price, screen, and availability in my area. EVO 4G is great, but it's CDMA and we don't have 4G here. Droid X is also great, but I don't have details about it's availability.
However, I'm not 100% sure about upgrading now because other phones, especially Samsungs, may not have big Android communities. Imagine the lack of CyanogenMod. Also, custom versions of Android like TouchWiz UI and MotoBlur usually suck. Some versions of Sense UI may be better than stock, but a guy like me is a sucker for stock Android.
What can you suggest?

I'd stick with the Nexus One until Googles next baby comes out.
This is the #1 hardware platform and will have the best community support for quite a while.

And don't forget, the GalaxyS is DivxHD Certified!!!
I'm really liking the DroidX too, the Dell Streak looks just a smidge too big (I've got big hands and really like the idea of a big screen, but not TOO big), and this X at ~4.4" might be in just the right spot!

The Galaxy S sounds cool from a spec perspective but I'm worried about the lack of support from Samsung. They've essentially shunned their phone user base in the past and I'd rather not go through that, especially since Gingerbread is going to be quite a big leap forward for Android.
Also, check out Engadget's preview of the Galaxy S. They have some concerns about the build quality. While the specs are great, and the UI is actually pretty nice; the questionable build quality and dubious manufacturer support history have left me in "wait and see" mode.

Next months DroidX (motorola) looks promising too.

I will give you this single warning. Do NOT get a Samsung phone. The phone is garbage, the support is worse than garbage. For example, the last Samsung phone that I had *never* got an update. It has a bug that it won't give an audible alert that the battery is low. Called TMo, they said it was Samsung's problem, Samsung says it's TMo's problem. Bottom line, I could get a refurb phone that they said would have the same issue since there was no firmware update.

because its a samsung, i would wait and see. the nexus will have the top end community support at least into the beginning of next year.

This is the best phone everrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! You should get it naooooooooo!!!!!!! If you even can that is!!! =P

I agree with everyone else. The N1 will continue to have the greatest developer support and google support. I personally love my N1, I can customize pretty much anything. Even the keyboard can be changed to something more friendly. The screen is beautiful, it doesnt need to be a monitor. The contrast ratio the N1 screen cannot be compared to any screen. The EVO has a big screen but it cant compete with the colors that the N1 puts out.

At least it's smaller than the Evo or Droid X.

Samsung is going to have to demonstrate that they are committed to providing timely software updates for their phones before I would ever consider buying one. Their track record is horrible.

There is no phone out there I would rather have than my N1. I will be waiting 6 months for N2 with Go. Gingerbread.

For me nothing out there can touch the Nexus capabilities right now!

About the EVO 4G...

I'd stick to n1..
Super Amoled still hasn't been fully tested in real world.. regardless of what companies say there is potential for things to go horribly wrong..
Plus.. n1 is definitely get updates faster than samsung.
The n1 is the "pure android experience" so its what I plan on going for..

You can run divx on the Nexus One with the rockplayer apk, can you not?
I have the app, but I've yet to test it so I don't know how good it is.

Like a lot of people, I love the specs of the Samsung Galaxy S and its overall package, but I'm a little skeptic about Samsung Android phones after hearing the upgrade stories online.
Sigh.

i want the galaxy s as well due to the s-amoled.. but im sticking with the nexus mostly because of os updates (froyo)

for me there is no Nexus one replacement as of yet
be waiting for next big HTC phone 1.5 ghz proc. hopefully
im done with motorola and their every week they have a new excuse for and update to get pushed back and as far as the Galaxy S...well i seen how samsung is taking care of their Behold II customers...
No thanks

I tested the Galaxy S a while ago. the screen is very beautiful. the difference of the viewing experience from Nexus One is very evident.
the screen may be the single most important piece of phone hardware, but like what you said, it's worth waiting a little longer for a better device from a better company with better commercial and community support.

next VZW 4G device to be released?

I was trying to hold out for the bionic, but it looks like it will be at least late july & my old droid is almost dead.
What do you guys think will be released next??? Maybe the LG, then the droid X2, then the bionic? If the droid X2 is out by next month I may wait on it, but it's looking more like: April= Thunderbold, May=Charge, June= LG, July= DX2, August= Bionic finally. Just my own conclusion, but seems accurate so far........

the LG revolution and droid x2 just got released fyi

Droid 3 = end of June
Bionic (Targa) = end of August or early September.

Could you tell me something more about componetns in motorola droid 3?

First off, Dual-core obviously. Whether it's a Tegra 2 or TI OMAP4 is up in the air still - sources have confirmed both at different times, most recently though, a benchmark was cited as having a OMAP4. Either way, should be an improvement over its predecessors. Also, noted to be clocked at 1GHz. vs. 600MHz for the OG Droid, 1GHz for the Droid 2, and 1.2GHz for the Droid 2 Global.
Second, 4 inch screen size. A bit of an increase over the OG Droid and Droid 2. (3.7 in). The resolution is found to be a qHD screen - noted at 960x540 vs. the standard 800x480.
Third, larger keyboard - has 5 distinctive rows of buttons vs. the traditional 4 rows. The feat. here is that the numbers 1,2,3.. have been added independently of the Q,W,E,R,T,Y.. row. So no more having to press "ALT" in order to type a number with the keyboard.
Forth, Increase in memory, I believe cited to be at 768MB vs. 256 for the OG Droid and 512MB for the Droid 2, Droid 2 Global, etc.
Those are the biggest features of the new Droid 3 that I've found while keeping tabs on any updates. Anyone feel free to add more or speculate if needed.

If only the Droid 3 was going to be 4G. I would buy it in a heartbeat. The Bionic looks like it may not be out until later this summer, so if the Galaxy S II comes out with a 4G radio before then, I will be scooping that up.

Good news... engadget and other websites just featured new screenshots of the redesigned Droid Bionic with docking capabilities at here:
www dot unwiredview.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/New-Verizon-Motorola-Droid-Bionic.jpg

Okay I think that the proper picture should be:

Sooooo the new pics are sick. I wanted a SGSII but after the pics and specs today ill deal with the bootloader and use my nook for development bug. 4.5in screen and LTE. not to mention webtop and such. I'm a HUGE fan of omap and I'm so happy Motorola went back, Tegra never did it for me and there's no good Snapdragon on the horizon for big red and I have an aweful feeling our SGSII will be Tegra. 1gb of ram and 1080p... I'm sold!
I have a upgrade on 9/6... I'm really hoping thats the release time frame

Pentile screen?
Does anyone know if the new Bionic will have a pentile screen? I'm wavering between the HTC Sensation and waiting for the new Bionic, but I don't want a pentile screen. Do you think its inevitable to offset the battery consumption of the LTE network, or will we get lucky and avoid the pentile screen?

Pentile screen?
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk

I've seen no mention of an OLED display yet for the bionic, so I'm not sure the whole Pentile thing applies here... I'm guessing this will be a standard LCD.
In addition, I'm questioning that it's 4.5". A quick test bringing it into Photoshop makes me think that it's a 4.3":
The smaller phone in the comparison picture (is that a Motorola Defy???) display dimensions (in image pixels)
184x352 = approx 397 diagonal = assuming the Defy is a 3.7" device, that makes the image scale about 108pixels per inch
The larger phone (Bionic) display dimensions:
253x385 = approx 460 diagonal, at our 108ppi, that makes the display approx 4.25" (about 4.3")
Just an observation...

I used "MeasureIt", a plugin for Firefox, and did some math. Again assuming that is the "Defy" 3.7" next to the Bionic, I also came up with a 4.3" screen.
I am assuming this will come with the same LCD pentile screen that the Droid x2 came with. I haven't seen one in person, but I don't think they are as bad as some people make them out to be. I think it is a person to person thing.

Are you site its a defy? All the articles mention it as an Atrix. It does look alot like the Defy but it appears to have a FFC on the left side of the speaker and its missing the silver trim on the defy.

Nevermind that last comment. Looking closer it is a defy. If the Bionic is 4.3 I think ill be getting a Function instead

Anyone else notice the obvious chin on the bottom of the phone (where the microphone and Verizon logo are placed)? I've only really seen that chin on the Droid 1. They removed it on the Droid 2 and placed the microphone on the bottom, but then I remember reading that the Droid 3 will have it back on the front face of the phone to avoid microphone sound quality issues.
So could it be possible that this is actually a keyboarded phone? Maybe it's the Droid 3. I mean, we don't exactly have a wealth of information on either phone, and this picture's screen has proven to be smaller than we first expected.

I think the chin may be a design element they are using. Also the LTE radio might add some thickness to it
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk

Yeah, on second glance, the "chin" actually looks like it's at the same level as the screen of the phone. I initially thought it looked like it might be lower than the phone and that it might be part of the slide-out keyboard layer of the phone. But no, alas, it looks like we're never going to see another good slider phone as long as we live.

Nobody has mentioned that it appears to have curved glass like the HTC Sensation?

I hope it won't have the same screen as the x2, that screen is surprisingly disappointing. I figured with a qhd screen it would look awesome, but I actually think it's worse then the OG droid.

[Q] Screen Color Balance Warm?

Just received an Incredible S & have a few questions. Is this the normal color temperature for it's screen. The phone on the right is a Samsung Exhibit II. Both should be at full brightness. Whites on the IncS look like a cream color.

Also odd that I bought the phone from Amazon.com & it seems to be meant for the India according to the software # & that English (India) was the only language option. No wonder there was no sense update. The warranty should still be ok in the US?
I got this phone to use with my legacy T-Mobile data plan for 4g & tethering. Both work fine unlike the Exhibit II but I notice that the wifi hotspot shows a 3g symbol. I seem to be getting 4g speeds tethered(other then ping) to just testing on the phone. So the 3g wifi hotspot is really 4g where there is service?

Can anyone just look at their phone LCD & compare it to another phone or their monitor & tell me if the colors on this phone are suppose to be like this?

I've ask this on another Android forum & have gotten no replies there either. I don't know why, but I hope this isn't how the screen should be normally & everyone is in denial. In any case contacted tech support & they do agree that the color balance is too warm in that picture. So I will be sending it in soon & hope that I get better screen back.

my screen seems normal compared to my mac... guess your piece is faulty ... good luck with the new one

HTC repair had a pretty quick turnaround getting my phone back to me in about a week. Unfortunately they don't tell you what they fixed/replaced. I sent it in for loose USB & warm color screen. The USB is better & even the speaker sounds a little better, but the screen I still think is rather on the warm color temperature side.
Can I have some more confirmation from other Incredible S users if the colors are really this off. It's a shame since the screen looks nice with anything besides white. It's something I could probably live with if this is just how it is with this phone(maybe I'm just too use to cooler screens). Here's another photo comparison to my old Nokia N900. I know the camera has it's own white balance processing but this is how it really looks to my eyes.

Same thing on mine, I think they want to mimic the color temp of AMOLED display that I hate. TBH I really hate AMOLED over saturated colors. Still this thing is a little better than AMOLED still it's nowhere as good as my Dell UltraSharp .

So I'm not alone, but is this the norm or just a panel lottery? I wonder why they can't just supply software controls like on PC's so we can adjust colors to our liking.

I guess this issue is only with the incredible S manufactured lately...one of my friend bought INC S some two weeks back...I compares it with mine (I got it when it got released) n found put that the display had a yellow tint...we reported to the shopkeeper... he told us that this issue is only with latest INC S...
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium

two of my friends have inc's and their screens have the blueish white tint to the screen as mine is a warmer yellowish tint.
i had to replace the screen on mine a couple of weeks ago and it still has the warmer tint .
have gotten used to it and i only notice if i put it next to my friends phones..

It is a bit warm colour on my IS as well, especially when I compared it to nexus s SLCD version. However, before the comparison I did not feel any uncomfortable looking at the screen.
Without proper tool to analyse the screen and give detailed statistics, It's hard to tell if It's faulty or not.
Different manufacturer/technology makes different screen, such as super amoled tends to be greenish on nexus s and lots of people love it. So I think It's down to personal preference and taste.
However, if you think yours is too warm, don't hesitate to get a replacement.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

THe first batch of Incredible S phones had a ACER manufactured screen, but later the displays came from SHARP which have not the same quality.
I saw this on a Dutch forum:
This guy has 3 Incredible S (don't ask me why.)
Phone A: Bought on 17-03-2011
Phone B: Bought on 20-07-2011
Phone C: Bought on 18-04-2011
It looks like Phone A and C are from the first batch and B with a SHARP screen.
HTC does this also with other phones like the Sensation

So on the chance that HTC would replace my screen I wonder if one could specifically request an Acer? Probably not and they might not even have those screens anymore.
Not sure if ACER would be better anyway since I found this about the Sensation screens "To really sum it up, the Sharp screen is slightly less "vivid" than the Acer. But the Acer has ghosting, tearing and flickering. In short: more issues."

[Q] Should the next Note have a 6"-inch screen?

Screen type, size and resolution seem to be the crucial discerning factor for mobile phones. the Note 2 stepped up its size, and was an even bigger success than the Note 1. So should the next Note step up to a 6-inch screen ?
+1 Yes or -1 No?

Yes, but only if the phone size stays the same

Well only if it has flexible screen because the galaxy S IV its coming 5" flexible super Amoled HD 440 ppi and I think that it's pretty hard to beat that since where are you gonna put the Spen with a flexible screen so I guess my next device its gonna be SIV

No please, if i want a bigger screened note i'll buy a 7".

Yes because being that much bigger won't matter much to me at all. This phone fits in my pocket with room to spare let's fill it up

If it has no bezel at all, then yeah, I might just be able to use it with one hand. which is where my limit lies.

This might actually work. Starting out with the Note 2 and sacrificing the SAMSUNG logo at top, and making the bottom homescreen button much narrower.
Edit: Come to think of it. It is not actually a (secret) 4-way navigation button, right? I actually can't tell from the feel of it....

I took a ruler across my Notes screen and 6 inches of screen will be a tight fit.
If the physical button is made into capacitive doesn't count as that's not part of the screen.
I think the Current Note/Note 2 should not get any bigger in total physical size as that would go too much into tablet territory.
A 6 inch screen in my opinion would be the absolute max I would like to see this phone go to. Any bigger and I wont buy it.

I dont mind if the machine keep the same size as 3.2 x 5.8 inch, and screen is 6 inch, it should be able to fit the 6 inch in if it is kind of frameless.
It is possible.
But seems better if keep the screen as 5.3 inch size, and decrease the overall of the machine size to something like GS3.

Here are a few photos to get an idea of a 6-inch phone. In fact, on second thought, a surface-like touch-keyboard should be built into the cover.
Screens are taken from
here
Actually I do believe a 6-inch Samsung phone will be coming by the end of 2013. But this is pure speculation based on the rate at which Samsung churns out phone-models. It is harder for Samsung to make a 6" phone, b/c big high quality, high res screens are more complicated to make and because they break easier. Samsung has unprecedented brand value, and as such they fare better making no product (i.e. devices which never see the public eye) rather than a disastrous product with lots of bad press.
Would I want one? Perhaps, after I have watched many youtube videos and read reviews with real-life photos.

Amazing
But I guess its toooooooo big for a phone!
I remember when NOTE was released and I wondered if I should really buy it. I went to the store, checked it out and felt comfortable with it for daily use coz I could put it in my pocket and still use it as a 'phone'. BUT 6.3" I dunno! Maybe that's the end of the line for me!

LOL samsung should be crazy to put 6"+ screen PHONE unless its border-less with no keys, just whole screen .. yeah that would be cool :good:

-1 Samsung should focus more on productivity and entertainment for the next generation of the note. Even more processing power, more ram for another level of multitasking, more focus on the camera and photography features(which I doubt will happen because of the galaxy camera). The s pen of the note 2 was greatly improved upon but I feel that even more improvements can be add to the s pen. If they do decide to enlarge the screen, 5.7 should be the MAX!

From a psychological perspective the screen specs just have to have at least a 6 in them. Few would upgrade otherwise. Note = Screen. Case in point: apples product line and the journalistic endnotes they receive
I am pretty convinced that Sammy will go the way of virtual Android Homebutton in their new Note. Hate it or love it. And it will be pretty soon: Q2/Q3 2013

Which phone is a worthy opponent to the note 4?

Between all the flagship phablets released in 2014, what do you think is the most worthy opponent to the Note 4 to be considered before you go and buy the note 4.
I am evaluating my options here, and considering other phones like the LG G3 beside the Note 4.
Share what do you think is a worthy opponent to the note 4.

In terms of the Note 3 Zero.
No SPen = no competitors.
None are in the same class in terms of multi app usage either.

I'm considering a Z3, and if an HTC M8 Maxx was out, I would consider that too...My wife's G3 is a pretty nice phone as well.
If a stylus is important to you, then obviously there is NO competition..

The way I see it we have four options
1) a worthy oponent to the note 4 would be another colour of the note 4, say you have a black one then a white one would be a worthy oponent.
2) a note edge maybe
3) a note 3
4) if you dont want to spend so much money that is then the oneplus one.
These are my opinions.

There are no opponents to the note line to be totally honest.
I see xda site got a facelift.

i dont have any personal grudge against that phone, but the poor display talks for itself

There's nothing comparable when it comes to display. Displaymate says its the best mobile display ever. The closest is probably the iPhone 6+ 1080p display if you don't count the QHD which most people don't care about, and it is a distant second. That's what you get when you are the only ones with modern OLED tech on a phone.
Nothing comparable to the Snapdragon 805 of the Exynos either. I mean, literally there are no 805 phones yet and definitely no 20nm Exynos phones which is, again, a Samsung exclusive.
S-Pen and wacom digitizer. Of course no one has it.
Camera nothing is comparable. All those crappy Chinese phablets use the same 13MP sensor with terrible software processing. The Vibe Z2 Pro supposedly has the same 16MP OIS sensor, but I've seen more than a few reviews of it and the quality really sucks. Software does a whole lot, and the glass and camera unit they built the sensor into is likely not that great either. LG G3 isn't very sharp and their low light shots are very overexposed. and blur easy because they rely heavily on the OIS. Xperia Z2/Z3 is low contrast, underexposed, noisy, poor colors, and very inconsistent. It has no OIS either. The only superior cameras are iPhone 6/6+ for nightshots, and Nokia Pureview cameras. Basically nothing can compete with the Note 4 in Android. Android just really sucks with cameras in general.

another none here, but come to think of it little more, Note 3 is actually the only opponent. Others have no stylus and therefore not in the same class, Note 2 is little outdated. I know it's bad since my choices for phone are limited to 2 models, but I refuse to have phone without stylus.
