Hello all.
I want to buy a mobile phone but i don't know what should i buy.
I don't care if my phone is big.(there isn't too big for screen)
but.
in my country (israel), thr prices are the issue.
those are the prices for the phones: (from a mobile store):
HTC Desire HD: 1086$
Samsung Galaxy s(i9000): 768$
Htc Desire:582$
i really want the best phone for the best price.
is there really a reason to add 300$ for the Desire HD?
or should i go for the Galaxy S?
BTW: A8 or Snapdragon?
Thanks All!
The one reason I wouldn't buy the Desire HD is the lack of internal storage space. I mean, 1.5GB vs 16GB? Yes, you can add on a microSD card and move your apps to storage, but the fact that many apps themselves don't let you do it is going to make things a tad more complicated than it has to be. Plus, you'll have to dish out some extra money for a microSD card, unless HTC provides you with one.
That said, the reason I would get the Desire HD is mainly because of the HTC Sense software, oh and the 8MP camera. While the 5MP camera on the Galaxy S is great, the lack of an LED flash leaves a lot to be desired. And TouchWiz isn't really my favourite UI, which is why I've flashed my SGS with a custom ROM and installed LauncherPro.
In terms of performance, I'd say they're about on par with each other. Bigger RAM gives the DHD a bit of an edge over the SGS, but the Hummingbird processor is just significantly better at rendering graphics.
I'm happy with my SGS, and personally, 4.0-inch is the limit for me. Anything above that should really go in the tablet category. Plus, after using the S-AMOLED screen on the SGS, regular LCD screens feel a bit.. insufficient, if you know what I mean.
This is just my opinion. Don't take my word for it. I still think the Desire HD is an awesome phone, just not for me. Since there's also the price factor to think about, and in your case there is a USD300 price difference. I'd seriously think about what I'd pay an extra USD300 for.
I'll wait for a nexus S.
If you are able to get Google Nexus S,
there is absolutely no reason to bother with Samsung Galaxy S.
If I could get Nexus S, I wouldn't even bother with any other phone including Desire HD.
except the nexus s is only coming out with tmobile 3g frequencies..
wait for galaxy s 2 or x12 (lol)
well...
I don't really see alot of changes in the Nexus...
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3620&idPhone2=3115
yeah it's has Led and a few other tiny things..
but it's seems that the hardware is the same...
and i don't think that Desire HD worth adding 300$...
I think i will go with the Galaxy S,
Maybe i will exchange it after the Nexus come out
..
BTW! The Galaxt S2 looks Great!!!
Think you should go with the Galaxy S if you get a sweet deal. Otherwise, might as well get the Nexus S since it's slightly updated with Gingerbread.
In reality, it boils downs to, which one do you like better. The straight one or the concave one. Haha.
Not worth getting a galaxy s, developing is slow kinda, but since nexus s is a Google phone with stock aosp gingerbread, u shud get more devs working on it. And get cm first, miui , and all the other mods available.

That what i thought about..
The Galaxy S and the Nexus S are the same phone.
so i guess that every mod that will be on Nexus will be on the Galaxy..
that why i'm taking the Galaxy...
(and i'm an Apple dev... :S)
I would wait
I would wait and get Nexus S instead of Galaxy S.
The reasons:
1. Price (~530$ in US if I'm not mistaken). If you have a friend visiting US (preferably one of the tax-free states), ship it directly to the hotel and ask him to bring it.
2. You get "stock" android with fastest adoption of new releases. Samsung's froyo adoption is about half a year late after Nexus and is far below in terms of tuning quality.
3. Even if Nexus S is just a remake of Galaxy, second generation should theoretically have some problems of the first generation resolved... (lag, GPS just to name a few).
BTW all..
I can't find any comparing between the i9000 vs the HD7
HD7 cost the same as the i9000 here.
so maybe i should get the HD7?
AFAIK, HD7 is windows, not android... Does it matter to you?
I'm due to upgrade my Hero in January and currently torn between Desire HD, Galaxy S and Nexus S.
Here's my random thoughts so far, good and bad:
Nexus S
-Nice form factor, but possibly plasticy build like SGS.
-I'm not bothered about the vanilla Android experience as I would like to root flash a custom ROM from day one / as soon as available.
-I have a DSLR so the addition on LED flash over the SGS is no deal breaker.
-I have no intention of video calling so front facing camera is of no concern.
-NFC is not something I will ever use.
-Was expecting dual core, or at least a jump up from 1GHz.
-Unsure if / when T-Mobile UK will stock them.
-Most future proof of the three phones.
-Great screen.
Desire HD
-This was the main contendor to begin with but battery life seems to be a big issue for some and I don't really want a phone I have to either not use fully, disable features or charge more than once a day.
-It has Sense UI, which I have always liked.
-Great build, but possibly a little big.
-Nicest looking of the 3 phones.
-Screen not as good as Nexus S, SGS.
-Again, I have a DSLR so the 8MP camera + flash is nothing for me to get excited about.
Galaxy S
-Laggy out of the box - fixed with custom ROMs and other methods.
-GPS issues - Has this been fixed yet?
-Looks a bit too much like iPhone 3GS.
-Comfortable to hold, but feels a bit plasticy.
-Should get similar updates to Nexus 2, or at least good ports.
-Great screen.
-Increasing amount of decent custom ROMs, mods and themes.
So, with all that said, I'm still no closer to choosing one!
T-Mobile UK do both DHD and SGS already so I'll wait and see if they carry the Nexus S and then maybe I'll be able to make my mind up

I understand that the HD7 is almost the same as Desire HD in all terms..
so i guess that it's only a metter of time that a Dual boot will come out..I think..
What do you say?
I want to buy the mobile this week... I can't wait >_<
HD7 or i9000?
I know how you feel Lee...
But for me the Desire HD isn't a choice, cos it's cost 300$ more then the other phones..
that why i think about the HD7 as a choise..
and another thing.... The price hasn't change a bit even if you buy a Used one..

Wow, that's quite a price jump!
Personally, I'd go for the i9000 over any WinMo 7 based phone purely from an OS point of view.
My friend has the HTC Trophy WinMo 7 phone and it's a great handset, however I think the OS has a while to go before it's a worthy competitor for Android.
Don't buy Desire HD, it's a crap, beside the higher price than SGS, its battery life is horrible and its screen is never as good as Samsung's Super AMOLED.
If time is not problem, you should wait for Nexus S because it has the same specs as SGS plus Android 2.3, flash LED and good supports from Google.
You should get the desire hd it looks the best it don't have that crappy pentile and HTC has a 8mpx camera with flash has a micro SD card slot , and does anyone even use more than 500mb for apps/games anyway ?? , xda already has some wicked roms and with the new snapdragon(better than hummingbird *opinion*) the phone is mega fast straight outside the box and finally HTC always is the next in line for there updates

But Nexus S not working on 850MHz for 3G

I was waiting for the Nexus S - I really wanted a stock Android phone, and when I saw the pictures I got very excited - and then I saw the lack of 850MHz 3G (UMTS) support.
Arguable the fastest and best coverage 3G network in Australia, the Telstra network runs on 850MHz (like AT&T and Rogers I believe). Pricing might not be as good - but work can pay for that .
So my question - should I wait with fingers crossed that a 850MHz 3G version of the Nexus S is developed/released, or should I just get a SGS (Telsta capable version - sorry can't post link am too much of a noob) and load stock Android on to it (assuming that in a couple of months someone will have figured how to do this for Gingerbread)?
I'm tempted to wait at least a little while, as no announcement of any availably of the Nexus S in Australia yet, but I really want to upgrade from my BlackBerry Bold soon (it and it's temperamental scroll "pearl" are is driving me mad!) The temptation to wait yet longer for a Honeycomb flavored phone is probably not enough to make me hold off.
Thanks for any thoughts/opinions on this idea
I just placed an order yesterday for this new phone.
This will be my first android, giving the iPhone 4 that I currently use to my little sister.
Specs seem decent:
1.2GHz Dual Core
4.5" qHD screen
1GB Ram
8MP 1080p camera
1.3mp front facing camera
LTE Support also with HSPA+
I am really excited to get it, I played around with one at the cell shop here in canada.
I liked it's design over the Samsung Galaxy S II, not sure if I made a mistake ordering this phone though.
Anyone have this or are getting it?
I have no idea how to overclock and/or root (or even what I could do with a rooted phone for that matter lol)

He just answered your concern "not being sure if you made the right decision" between this and SGS2. Most of the stuff posted under Vivid forums about HTC Vivid is ok, that means no problems with the device, therefore you made a good choise. There are many threads opened on this regard, so there's enough opinion for you to read. I've played with both SGS2 and Vivid, and the Vivid was the winner for me even over the Skyrocket.
Sent from my HTC Vivid via Tapatalk
You haven't made a mistake in ordering it. I had a Captivate and, for a day, the Skyrocket before moving on to the Vivid. A piece of paper is built better than the Skyrocket, or just about any plastic-laden Samsung for that matter. You will not be disappointed. Coming from an iPhone 4, you won't see that much of an improvement going from a Retina screen to the 4.5" qHD one on the Holiday (Vivid/Raider), but the resolution is there and it's very pleasing.
Eventually, true root will be coming to this device. Just for reference, the processor is actually 1.5 GHz but is underclocked to 1.2 for better battery life.
Amazing. Now all I can do is wait for it to be shipped to me.
I've heard good things about it, and some not so good things.
I did (while playing at a bell store) prefer its design over the SGS2.
It was so cool and I hope to eventually root and clock it back to 1.5 ghz.
This will be my first android, and from what it seems, spec wise it blows the iPhone 4 out of the water
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
which one is better?
for the prices:
xperia arc s is the cheapest one then desire hd then incredible s
This is the same decision I had to make this time last year
The reason I went for the Incredible S over the DHD and the Arc (the S wasn't out) was because of its specs.
I knew I would root it one day and be running AOSP
The HTC's have more RAM because it is needed by sense, so I figured they would run AOSP roms better than the Arc
The Arc feels cheap to me
The incredible S has a front camera, which I use sometimes, and the others dont have it
I like having the option of sense as well, it just makes the phone feel a lot different compared to other android phones
So the arc was ruled out for me. With the Arc S, its clock speed can easily be matched anyway with a custom kernel
I ended up choosing the Incredible S over the DHD because it has better battery life, and IMO a better screen.
But, looking at them now specs wise, they are outdated and seemingly low end devices anyway
If I were to get a new phone now, I would at least go dual core. But, that said, I am happy still with the Incredible S, and I am glad I am here. Gotta love the sense of community we have here
arc s looks better, but HTC sense is much better than Sony's ui

The Xperia should only be considered if you're looking for a very slim, stylish phone- other than that. although it is slightly faster than both, the only area it excels over the other 2 is the video mode is continuous AF.
the DHD is one pretty phone, and is unibody aluminium, making it quite a heavy phone its also curved slightly, meaning it doesn't sit fresh on a flat surface. icons and text are also a lot clearer on this phone by virtue of screen real estate, but it can look like someone has activated "disability mode" on the phone. out of the 3 it is the fastest by a nose too.
The Incredible S is the only one of the 3 to have the front facing camera. its also the "smartest" design wise- perfect fit in the hand, nice feeling back. the only issue i have with it is the slightly raised metal "ring" around the phone. I dropped mine one time and it has this weird dual-hing on the corners which can be bent out of their normal position(with great force of course), this can caused issues with putting the back on. it is let down by its wierd video recording and slightly slower AF than the others.
If I were having to pick, I would probably go with option 4 or 5- the Galaxy Nexus or the Nokia N9. These should be around the same costing nowadays. the Nexus gives the best stock ICS experience for the price, and the N9 is just one beautiful piece of kit and the software-meego- although not supported is excellent.
hope this helps
The ARC S cracks the cases. I searched for it when I bought the Inc S.The Desire HD has the same specs but a bigger screen with the same resolution.
For me the IncS is the best, a 4.0in non brick phone, good construction, good stock roms (I hate sony UI,sense is very very complete).
In my opinion the only phone that I would think of changing the IncS in the same league is the Desire S because of it size, but I heard it has some problems with motherboards.
As i was buying my phone I had a thought about these three phones too. I decided on the IncS due to its slightly smaller screen size of the HD, due to battery saving.
The Sony was more common but all of them seemed to have cracks on the case just above the screens.
I liked that the IncS also had a front facing camera.
Another option for me was the Huawei Honor but that wasn't cheap enough. The LG 2X might be another good bet or the Desire S, slightly smaller but its battery life is meant to be good.
thank GOD you weren't swayed by the 2x- apparrantly the most unoptimiesed pos version of Android ever put on a phone.

The LG 2X is a cancer, when I bought the IncS (for 250eur, used with almost 2year warranty,a spare original battery, a CaseMatte Cover,8Gb Class 6 card) the LG 2X could be find used for the same price.
Most people who got it had to send to warranty lots of time to fix problems, a new phone came and the problems persisted...
For me the IncS/Desire S are the wisest options.You have the Xperia U, wich in my country can be bought for 190eur vodafone locked.The only drawback is that it doesn't have microsd slot.
which one should i buy... incredible s or desire hd
hello sir. I am new here just registered to post this reply.
I am going to buy an htc cellphone. I have searched upon net and had finally come across two choice... either htc desire hd or htc incredible s. i only have time to decide between these two for a week coz after that shipment will arrive.
as per gsmarena.com both devices have got same hardware except different display sizes, display technology and a front facing camera.
bt i have watched several youtube videos showing that incredibles s has a very bad camera output (video especially) as compared to desire hd... so i wanted to cnfirm that whether the camera quality is same for bth desire hd and incredible s.... if it is so m going to buy incredible s... otherwise desire hd on the go.
thanks in advance. P.S i need a quick reply.
Hey buddy, welcome to xda
When are these reviews from? The sense 2.1 camera that the phone was released with, which is probably in most of the reviews, is average.
Camera quality is much improved with the later versions of sense. The sense 4 camera is full of features and is quite good
But put bluntly, they're both alright in daylight but crap in low light.
Quality is the same imo
There is a thread in general, you can google it called something like " photos taken with your incredible s"
Showcasing our best photography
Video is the same, depending on the rom you use
For me 720p capture has quite a low framerate but 480p is fine.

I currently have a iPhone 5 64gb, and thinking of upgrading to a htc one!.
Just wondering if its worth a upgrade?
I'm a music fan, so the boom sound speakers and beats audio appeal to me.
Thanks
Personally I prefer to have control over my phone and do whatever I want with it. Choice is simple

If I were you I would definitely stick with the i5. Both devices are extremely nice and fast, and you even have the latest iPhone too. Maybe if you had the 4 I might consider switching. I would wait until the next generation One comes out (Two?) if you would like to switch to Android.

No, it is not.
I mean, all you can do with it is Rom, install epic themes, mod the **** out of it...
Besides. It looks better than the iPhone. you don't need that, it would ruin your iPhone's ego.
Camera is 4mp... and takes pictres about 5x better than the iPhone 5.
Don't upgrade. Your iPhone will never forgive you.
yeah the iphone 5 is far better..in every aspect..if i were you id stick with it

Don't listen to these guys. You have an i5. It's more than good enough for the avg person. (If you haven't understood that these guys are being sarcastic, they're being sarcastic.)
I would wait until the One+ (that's what I'm calling it) comes out, though. Snapdragon 800, Gorilla glass 3, and other spec improvements should arrive on the One+ . It's due sometime this year. Seriously, if you buy the M7 now, it will be unflagshipped by Fall-winter.
Don't buy another iPhone. It may have good battery life, but that's really the only field where iPhone beats M7. I have an i5 (work phone) and it feels bland, but it's functional.
Don't buy the One, wait for the One+. Or, if you're really patient, you might wanna wait for the M8, which is supposed to come out in 2014.

One and one+(snapdragon 3) wont make a difference unless you are a heavy gaming guy...
In terms of speed i was satisfied with one x too... I used i phone4s before, for 1 month.... And the i4s and i5 aren't much different in functionality.... I didn't like the one button operation and limited features of that phone.... Even to dial a contact, i had no options to keep a widget for quick dialing.... I couldn't keep a widget to control my wifi, mobile data, sound profile, wi fi hotspot, bluetooth with a single touch..... Then i realized that iphone was kinda jail for me, and the jailbreak wont make a much difference....
Well, i would say... Long live HTC One... Its worth the upgrade.... See it to believe it...

The Snapdragon 800 should allow for better image processing. Some reviews of the One pointed out that there were processing artifacts in pictures. The processor will help make the most of of the Ultrapixel camera.
I'm just saying, the i5 is not even a year old, why would you wanna upgrade, when you can wait for a few more months and get a better phone for the same price?

Well, I was comparing the price of the One to the One+'s.
The iPhone 5S or 6 or w/e is out of the question. I thought I had made that clear.
OP - Don't get the iPhone, don't get the One, get the One+.
Off course, what about the extra possibilities you`ll gain and options to choose from compared to a locked down OS. I wouldn`t want a iPhone if they gave it for free tbh
Most people here are iPhone haters without any reason. HTC one won't be much upgrade from a iPhone 5 (speakers and low light canes performance on HTC one is better), both phones perform well. And if you don't care about modifying and themes, there is no reason to upgrade. Beats audio is just a software preset. So if your buying HTC one for beats audio, your already buying it for wrong reasons.
Everyone listens to music on phone. Both phones should have almost similar experience.

In your case it's not iPhone vs HTC One.
It's iOS vs Android.
Do you like iOS? Are you satisfied?
If so don't go to Android.
If you want something more free to play with, without having Apple decide what is best for you then go to Android.
As devices they are both top notch.
You may get better pics in specific conditions with the iPhone and better with One under other conditions.
Battery is pretty good in One and it is super fast without any lag.
So for me it's not so much a matter of device vs device (that would be the case if you were thinking about a Galaxy for example), but operating system vs operating system.
If you are sure you want to leave iOS, iTunes and all that i-things then yes the One will feel nice.

For sure. The low light pics especially. Besides that, the sense camera has far nicer colour representation. oh, and you can use swype, swiftkey, or the beastly sense keyboard
Personally I wouldn't call it an upgrade, and I wouldn't upgrade if I was you. I actually think that unless you are wanting a move away from iOS then the i5 is more than good enough. I think it would be a "sidegrade"
Put it this way. If you get the One, you will have to root the hell out of it and install custom ROM's to fix both the non responsive back and home buttons and the proximity sensor issues.
Then there is the Camera. Personally I think the One takes better daylight pictures than other phones, but the low light capabilities let it down. The pictures without flash in half decent light at night, are great, but if you need to use the flash, you are out of luck. It won't focus properly and you'll be left with awful blurry out of focus pictures.
I don't know what it would take in a night club, but I wouldn't bet a great deal lol.
The Beats and the Speakers are awesome.
P.S. The snapdragon 800 would do nothing at all for this phone. The camera isn't good enough to need better processing, and the phone is already faster than it needs to be by a long long way.
I think I might just wait until the end of the year, and see what the new phones have to offer then. I'm not desperate for the upgrade just yet, but I'm for ever wanting the latest phones! Lol.
The only thing that puts me off the htc one is the 4mp camera, what on earth were they thinking? You would hav thought 8mp at least.
Thanks for the info & feedback guys.

MP do NOT describe picture quality. I am not lying.
MP only describe how large an image can be printed (8mp is larger than most TVs, so it is virtually useless unless you plan on making posters) What really matters is the focal distance, clarity of the lens, and the light sensitivity of the camera. The One has a 4mp camera, yes, but those megapixels are massive (in comparison to the mp of an iPhone camera. that means a larger amount of light/mp. this means that the pictures you take are much brighter, and have better color reproduction.
I really hate to see people turned away by the "only 4mp" camera.
Dude blow up your money and upgrade .. .. well it's not a upgrade. But still blow up your money.

Don't get me wrong, I love my HTC one, I've had it for a week or so now, and it's a vast improvement from my HTC Evo 3D. That being said, was it worth the 2 year contract and $200(What I had to pay) for the upgrade? To be honest, I don't think so. The HTC 3D was a fantastic phone, really didn't lag, and I had Holo Locker and Apex Launcher installed to give it that jellybean look(I also have this installed on my One).
The reason I had upgraded was that I just turned 18, so I could legally have my own contract, and my power button completely came off the circuit board on my evo. I was not about to replace the button or get another evo.
I was just wondering if anyone feels like they should've waited until the next big HTC phone(Samsung phones feel too cheap!) or if the HTC one was the way to go!
I had a Samsung GS4 i9500 before buying the One and I felt it was a big improvement
Not a vast improvement over the Evo 3D?
You must be joking. It's like night and day.
And the Evo 3D was a lag fest, I don't know what phone you were using lol
I'm coming from the Samsung Galaxy S3 and it's an upgrade, a huge one? Absolutely not lol. Enough for me to be happy with the 650$ purchase? Yes. You must be very easy to please OP, I wish I was.

I had a Samsung GS4 i9500 before buying the One and I felt it was a big improvement

I meane it is a vast improvement, but if I had the choice of my power button not breaking and keeping my 3D over buying a new phone i wouldve kept the 3D. it never lagged for me, and did everything I need no problems, I'm sure MANY people had problems with the 3D, but I never did and it was great for what I needed it for.
I bought the One X at release and loved it.
I bought the One at release and love it.
I'll probably buy the next big thing at release and love it.
I can afford to and I'm a phone geek.
You seem to be closer to the other end of the scale.
I still think the best device ever was the Nexus 1 made by HTC.
It was not aluminum but Teflon which felt premium quality too,the trackball colors was great for missed calls and sms
From my Desire HD? This thing is amazing
Im confused?
Just asked a simple question for the community, am confused with the insults, but thats for the more mature comments those of you who had left them.
I jumped from my HTC Wildfire to a One.
After finding out Nexus4 is 200€ I regret it a little =(
I'm kinda regretting it... I love the phone but I could have stayed with the gnex another year for sure.
I got it as a replacement for my HTC Sensation, and it's a huge improvement. Everything launches so fast, and BoomSound is great!
24x24€ and i came from HTC 8S .
Very happy!

Agree 100%. Came from my Sensation. Its lightspeed quicker.

I love the aluminum alloy body on the One, the power of the Snapdragon 600 SoC and the amazing screen, although as predicted by myself when I bought my HTC One five months ago, I now wish I had been patient enough to wait for the 64 GB version to become available.
I know also that as soon as something very similar comes on the market with a Snapdragon 800 powering it that I will be unlikely to avoid the temptation to upgrade a perfectly good phone after a mere .......six months ?

Shoots self in head... the SGN was such a great phone wrapped in a awful package.
The screen sucked, speakers and mics sucked, camera sucked, signal sucked, battery sucked a little less... but the OMAP 4460 was a great processor it 'almost' made up for the rest.
To be completely honest with the OP though, no one can answer that question for you. To me the Moto X is a step back, to others its a leap forward from the One. Each person is different and ha different values

I'd stick with it. It's amazing and it'll get better and better the more you use it
I also come from the HTC sensation , and the performance difference is light years. the one would have been perfect if HTC kept the option for exchanging the battery and a sd card slot.... yet everything is perfect,but what happens if the battery becomes weak ? questionable if HTC would replace the battery under warranty....
i came from s4 i9500 octa and i think my one is a rocket in terms of speed and fluidity
