What new android phone should I get?

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

HTC sensation or galaxy s 2

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.

Value of tab today?

What is the price of a secondhand going for now? Wondering how much cash i can get out of mine. Almost perfect condition, apart from a chip at the bottom.

Cheers! Bit strange that it costs as much a brand new Nexus 7? Any idea why?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Priceless in my view... GTP1000 still out rocks a Nexus 7, mainly due to the 3G.

I am quite surprised how much it values. There are far superior tab on the market for about the same price.
Also who wants a Tablet that officially support just 2.3.x when there are others that run JB.
My Galaxy Tab piled dust until I decided to root it and install a custom rom; before that it was almost useless.

Why would the Galaxy tab on GB 2.3.x be useless? I have 2 Galaxy tabs, one of them is still on GB, the other is on cm 10.1. Aside from the interface look, I fail to see, what the tab on ICS does that the TAB on GB doesn't.

The ford ka do the same thing like a bmw, but slower.

Really? Doesn't sound fair given that I only paid $299AU for a new one a year ago (3G model)

In US it costs anywhere from $100-$180 with 3G. The value hold mainly due to 3g network connection.

Guessing the value has dropped even more now that the iPad mini is here
Should have sold it earlier

In the Netherlands they are sold for about 150-200 euro on marketplace(dutch ebay) with 3G

Actually , I suspect how this tab can still have that high of prices.
As the tab is not good at all.(Lack of ram and speed)
No matter it can perform better sound than GT 7.7 and so on .
But definitely it should not stand on the same level with Nexus 7.
Although 3G is absent in Nexus 7, I should better buy GT 2.0 with this tab present prices

150 €

New Atrix HD Owner...

Great device. I don't mind MotoBlur at all. If AOKP (my fav) was available I don't know if I'd even use it. I have root and that's all I need. Tons of bad reviews and I don't get why yet. Screen is second to only the One X. I've had just about any and every of the top popular devices you can think of. I'm sure I'll be on to the Note 2 once ATT drops it too, but the Atrix HD is great at it's price point. The internal storage is the only downside. It's fast and snappy stock. IMHO Moto has passed up HTC (bloaty, but highly functional and experience changing) for the best stock experience. The clock/weather/battery widget is so useful, screenshots don't do it justice. It's more than just time, weather and battery. The ability to swipe up on messaging, phone and other icons and see a quick (don't know what to call it) status area is great. The hardware is fantastic. All i needed was a different camera app and all is good.
If Moto was more "mod" and had 16gb storage this device would be an XDA favorite easy!!!
edit: BTW most of all the device is beautiful

Couldnt have said it better myself. With the battery mod and camera fix options, this is an AWESOME phone

I think he meant it looked as good as 1080p since our screens are so small.

CameraZoomFX Best 3.00 you'll spend in a long time!!
And correction this screen> The One X screen. I have both phones and the picture is more clear and sharp on the AHD. This screen is the same as the iPhone 5. Put them side by side like I did. They're both the same pixel, clarity and resolution wise. The AHD is the phone to have now.
Be sure to get:
64GB class 10 micro SD card
CameraZoomFX app
RazrMaxx battery
And don't look back

They're so cheap on eBay too, i was looking for a phone for a friend. He wanted to spend less than $250 on a phobe with a nice screen and decent specs... ATRIX HD was unbeatable for the price.

Note 2 has more features such as more storage space, an SD slot, LTE, Wolfson DAC.
Nexus 4 is open source, gets faster OTA updates and is also much cheaper.
Personally, I'd get neither because the Note 2 is too large for me (many people prefer its size) and the Nexus 4 only has 8 and 16GB storage which is a joke.

Better to take Note 2..

Nexus 4 has no micro SD, glass back and if you watch a video "galaxy nexus vs nexus 4" then you'll see how bad the display is (black has a yellowish tint)
Sent from my GT-I9000

Depends on how much you value software updates. Personally I would rather get the Nexus 4 just for the updates. I am sure that Galaxy Note II will receive CM10 judging how popular this device is, but at the moment I am a little tired of flashing updates manually.

My personal opinion take both of them ... ..=) naa man joking
If you want speed and updates from google buy nexus 4! If you want media and fun and you're a big fan of large screens buy note 2! As i say both of them are really really really gooood so you decide or your pocket

Still worth buying or aged?

Looking to buy a new phone soon, and just wanted your views on whether this phone has gone aged.

You could also consider the i9001 (Galaxy S Plus), which looks exactly the same as the i9000 but has quite different hardware. At least on paper it's quite a bit better and not nearly as expensive as an SII. I've got one of those and am really happy with it

Yes but the i9001 only has slightly faster CPU and slower graphics you can easily set the i9000 to the same clock speed as the i9001

A rooted Galaxy S I9000 is still pretty good, but if you can afford it I recommend you the Xiaomi MI-2.

I personally think that the i9000 is a great phone. It was my first Galaxy class and is still with me
I rooted the phone and switched over to running JellyBean (SlimRom version) and think it is just great. I do prefer the S2 just because it is that much faster, but finding it hard to part with my trusty original
Good all round phone but a little slow on some of the major games (I believe - though cannot vouch for that)
