Hey guys, pretty straight forward.
Just to let you know, I really don't want an HTC one x, or any other phone with poor battery life.
Things that matter:
Screen size: 4in+
Processor
Camera quality
HARDWARE in general
Overall feel of the phone in your hand
I would prefer the least amount of plastic on the phone as possible.
Thanks guys

Plastic is a nice thing....
Do you have a carrier preference? Are you wanting to stay with VZW?
HTC EVO 4G LTE.
Outstanding battery life.
16GB internal storage and a micro sd slot.
Blazing fast processor.
It feels solid as a rock.
It has the best screen of any phone I have ever used, 4.7 inch.
The camera on this phone is phenomenal. Here is a thread with pics from it.
All in all this is the best phone I have ever owned.
The evo 4G is very intriguing.
As far as carrier, I don't care at all.
So far the phones in the race are:
Sony xperia ion
HTC evo 4g
Samsung galaxy s3
These are just so far. Feel free to offer any handset as a suggestion. I'll put up a poll when I get into the preliminaries.

Wait for the HTC phone that's coming to Verizon
It has a 1080 p screen so everything would be awesome
It also has an adreno 320 cup

I'm jelly of ya'll that have more than one carrier with service in your area.
Does the Nexus not even get a honorable mention simply because it gets the newest Android versions before any other phones? I agree that there is better hardware on the market, but I love showing off all the new features before anyone else gets them. My buddy just posted on fb how he got ICS on his RAZR, I replied "It can't do a barrel roll." Its fun to be smug about firmware lol.
I got my hands on a SGSIII and I liked it allot, big good looking screen, felt good in my hand, fast and smooth. I rooted it and gave it back to my buddy. Plus the Galaxy S phones have good development so you wont be waiting too much longer than Nexus for custom ROMs and such..
The nexus was in the running, but the camera threw it out for me.

If you want to be certain you'll get 1st party updates without waiting them definitely Galaxy Nexus. The camera, however, isn't too good.
Personal suggestion is S2. I haven't found one con from this phone, it's fast,I like its screen,a lot of development here, camera is excellent. It also packs a 1 6GB flash memory and a micro SD slot.

I'd pick HTC over any phone. Not to keen on the Incredible 4G for Verizon though. Its nothing like what the other carriers got. I'll be sticking to my Droid Incredible 2 so long as Dev's continue to support it.

AT&T didnt spend anything. They just wanted the phone to be cheaper so they could follow their marketing strategy
.
We were supposed to have a 2300mAH battery, 2GB RAM, an NFC chip and webtop os.
AT&T already has IPhones, SGS3, and HTC One X still costing $150-$200
They had the price reduced on the Atrix HD to get more new customers.
Also they cut back the hardware so it wouldnt take away from their Samsung & Apple Sales since those two companies seemed to be favored by AT&T.
That would have made a better product for consumers. Who cares if it makes their original phone choice harder. At&t sucks a big one period.

The bigger battery would be nice. Nfc for me isnt a big deal and 2 gb ram might help i never tested it when i had the s3 this phone is like the perfect fit for me i liked bigger screens but were unnecessary the battery so far isnt great but i just got it so it might take a bit to get going. I have the battery extender on.

Well bigger battery could be nice as well as better charge time.... i dont know how may amp the charger is but it feels like it takes for ever to charge my phone and standby time is not as good as i expected!!! Apart from that i love this phone!!!

I know most of you coming from the Vivid will hate me for saying this but i will go to the HTC M7 as my next phone. I got to love sense, if you dont, no need to be staying with HTC, but i need my fix of sense
Well... I'm really happy with my Vivid. GLAD I DIDN'T GO TO THE ONE X! And as much as I'd love to stay with HTC (still have a G1) their newest phones are a disappointment. The One series was a huge disappointment. So many hardware defects it really made me lose faith in them. I think my next is going to be a an S4 or I might buy a used SII, switch back and forth and ride it out until I'm eligible for an upgrade and see what's out then.
Gonna see what's available after mwc in February...if nothing interests me ill probably wait for the sgs4...but I've heard rumors that it might not have android but Samsung's own firmware instead...if that's the case...idk lol
Only time will tell...as of now nothing is really catching my eye :/ one x+ looks nice...bit you can't even get diff yet...AMD nexus 4 just doesn't have enough storage for me...I need at least 32gb so I can have music and a couple roms handy (about a 1-2gb worth of Roms)

I love the new sony devices. I had an xperia x10 before this...i will be looking towards something in the xperia line when the vivid dies
Nexus 4... Oh wait already have one!
This phone rocks, if you don't need the extra storage I'd recommend it to everyone... Of course there is the issue that it's really not for sale right now... Ugh. Supposedly February they are coming back in stock, we'll see I guess.
Anyway the device is epic. Pure android, no bloatware, screen is gorgeous, speed is ridiculously fast, put it this way you may not think you have lag on your vivid, until you play with this thing. It's literally iphone smooth. No lte? No problem! Make sure to copy your apn from your vivid and you'll get fast stable hspa+ that you'll never notice a difference from lte on stock. Camera is almost on the same level, maybe a tad bit weaker, but no shutter lag and the 4.2 camera app is very very nice. Build quality is solid, right on par with the vivid, feels sturdy and looks great.
The only issue is 4.2 needs patching. Battery life out of the box is actually worse than the vivid. This is due to the location service being borked on 4.2. Go into maps, Uncheck "report from this device" under location settings and battery life is much better than the vivid, however you don't get the most out of google now with it shut off. It won't show places of interest near you with the option shut off but until google patches it its the best only option.
So to summarize, once google patches 4.2 it'll be perfect. If you can deal with the wait and don't need the storage, I fully recommend it's awesome!

I guess I should mention this about the nexus 4. The screen size is a tad too large. The vivids screen size is perfect honestly, large enough to watch videos, small enough to use one handed. The nexus 4 is a tad too large for a good one handed experience. And the worst part? It's 4.7 inch screen will be considered small by the end of the year.
HTCs new droid dna design is basically going to be the reference design for HTCs next flagships and at 5 inches it's too big, I've played with one too so I can attest to that. The galaxy s4 is also rumored to be 5 inches, and the note 3 is rumored to be a whopping 6.3 inches!
When does it stop? Ergonomics are just going to hell here! I remember when htc released the Evo, my Samsung eternity fit in its entirety inside it's screen and I thought there's no way I'd want a phone that big. I was wrong there, 4.3 to 4.5 is actually the best sizes available hands down. But now screen sizes have just gone haywire! Before you know it people are going to be carrying 22 inch monitors with cell radios!
What's really frustrating is they still make smaller screen sizes but they all blow. Typically feature low resolution screens, dated hardware, and extremely outdated versions of android such as froyo or gingerbread with no plans whatsoever for android updates. Samsung releases about 50 of these Galaxy Rubbish phones a year!

If i would like to get the best: htc one
Nexus 4? You're trying to tell me that is hard for you to pick between the super sexy, super sleek, top of the line, aluminum body, specs to die for from the HTC one and the boring design, fragile glass back, boring UI, made by LG nexus 4? Yea, no contest.

The fact you are even posting on xda shows you have more interest in cell phone tech than the average joe. Therefore HTC One. There is no contest between this and N4.
Posting this in the One section is obviously going to get you a biased answer...

I have the nexus 4, development is ok.
But the htc one has WAY more features. Boom sound, better camera.
Oh man... another useless thread started !!!

I would go for the HTC One
There are several reasons why I would get the One over the Nexus 4. The main reason is, that I've always been a fan of HTC phones and build quality. I've also not been a fan of LG. I currently have a One XL and it is awesome. The N4 is better for developers but its going to be more and more behind as far as specs go.
I think for other people the main deciding factor should be interface. With my One X I can choose Sense roms and AOSP roms. With the N4 you're pretty much stuck with AOSP roms.
A friendly advice is post this thread on the General section http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=256
Obviously you're posting on the HTC One forum. Why would an aspiring owner of HTC One let his dream device down over any other device?
*Except for the trolls here who got no life and just come in the HTC One section just to say how they dislike the device*
This phone does seem amazing but again it's going to be crippled by delays in updates so that's why I picked the nexus. The 2gb ram, 720p screen and quad core is more than enough, for me at least

I think everyone knows that nothing beats nexus devices when updates are to be compared. But there are some people like myself who rather prefer usability and unique features than updates. I myself am satisfied already with ICS. The sole reason why I decided to get this and ditch my phone is that my phone doesn't officially support ICS and unless I see very significant changes I won't upgrade.
I have a nexus 4 and really want the HTC One. Only reason I'd miss the nexus is the updates.

One smashes n4. Aside from that, as stated before, with HTC device you can run sense ROMs or AOSP ROMs. More choice. Also, Google makes a point to make sure nexus devices are not top-spec, officially. They do this cuz it's a development device. What good is it to develop on a device that only 10% android users have the specs to support? Also, I checked out n4 cuz all reviews said it felt Luke a million bucks in your hand. I thought, it felt like junk, personally.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
M7 no contest. I'd take a Note II, GS3, Lumia 920, or HTC HOX+ before I went back to the N4.
Monetarily the N4 is great for the no-contract price. In no other way would I pick the N4 as my phone.

Man thats foolish, on the other hand if it would be the other way around you would have been so glad you traded your nexus 4 for a htc one. i know i would be.
I traded mine for a S4. That lasted 1 week and I traded back for a other One. I've had a lot of different phones to test and none have that feel like my HTC.
The S4 was nice but Touchwiz is not a well coded interface. Camera is over rated on the S4 and was my main reason for trading. It's not that much of an improvement over the Note 2 sensor.

Just got a new HTC One last night after selling my BB Z10 after a couple weeks (the BB really was nice but it has major issues with Contacts management & sync w/Gmail-Google Apps).
Anyway loving this One but I'm keeping my Note 2 because it's a fantastic phone as well; I have a cheap secondary tablet plan on a separate SIM so the Note 2 is now more like a mini-tablet.
While setting up the One today I ran thru all the test for defective sensors etc, and happily everything works. Once I scraped off the excess glue and other rough edges, the thing is now perfect
Not a recommend trade IMO.
