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.

LG rep visit

My LG rep came by today to show us the new optimus G pro and during this he showed us the Antutu score from his demo device. 19000something. He asked if my phone could get that so I ran it. And during the test I said to him "it's on battery saver mode so I'm not sure how well it's going to compare considering it's the same cpu" after the test finished I showed him the score 23000+. He was kinda speachless and started rambling about something else then asked me to text him a screenshot of that score.
Lol just thought I would share this visit with you guys

Hey guys I have a slim build for your phone but don't have a device to test it with m7wls I build for the sghi577 and the sprint s2 so I know a thing or two about building ROMs I need someone to test this who knows how to use adb and can pull log cats etc I used cm device trees so it should be solid any takers

Never been a fan of LG phones. Nice to read this. Makes me snicker!

Hyping over getting 19,000?
And the LG is clocked the same as the One?
So, would pulling 20,000, still higher than his phones score, while under clocked to 1.3ghz be a burn and a half or what? Lol
I'm not sure power saver mode will throttle the cpu if it's a custom kernel. I've checked a few times and it seems to stop working in that respect. Same with tasker. I can't control cpu speeds with tasker using a custom.

My Note 2 is awesome. But so is my HTC One. The LTE is definitely better on my Note 2. You can't ask a question like that in this section though. Biased opinions round here. It all comes down to preference.

If better LTE is something you're interested in.. Then trade.. I'd jump on it if a friend would offer me that trade. HTC One destroys it in almost all other categories though.

Agreed. But if they did....I would like to give LG a spin I think.

Never had much loyalty to any brand. Whatever is the best, or one of the best phones in two years will be my upgrade.
I know it won't be a Samsung though. Unless they do a 180 in regards to phone build quality.

not lg if i could id get a sony phone they have very good support for devs, but then again the note series is awesome...

I would probably go nexus and GSM carrier
I would also hold onto to my one until it stops working

I think I'll be going to nexus and gsm as well. I hope an android phone comes out with 41mp camera . I'd be all over that

Tmo for me too

T-Mobile and Nexus probably, although I wouldn't mind holding onto my One to use it as a voice/text (+bad 3G) phone.

hmm, maybe Moto once Google does their thing....

Wouldn't matter, my purchase is not dictated by brand.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2

How about making a ONE Max 10" tablet first

Lol cuz never going to happen.
But if they sold out, then my next phone will certainly be an HTC One Max

Nexus or moto or Oppo. Samsung's phones have gotten so flimsy looking and feeling.
Sony's phones are laggy as hell. I've never really trusted LG, but I have no reason for that, so that would be my fourth choice.

Nexus or Moto as well for me. Might go that way even if HTC doesn't sell out.
Sent from my One using Tapatalk 4

Nexus, moto, sony, oppo. LG seems like too much of an also-ran to me- maybe the G2 will change that, though . And Samsung is just... Just no.
No OEM loyalty, though.

HTC maxx

I wanted to get the HTC maxx but after seeing that it is going to come with an s4 pro I'm going to have to pass. My info is based from evleaks on blink feed. They are normally right.

s4 pro? are they serious?
hmmmmm
edit: this article says evleaks said it would come with the s800 http://www.christianpost.com/news/htc-one-max-specs-fingerprint-sensor-confirmed-again-picture-104571/

There's no way in hell that phone would sell if it came with the S4 pro. I think they may have received a false tip on this. I'm still believing in seeing an 800 in it.

I'm passing if it's not s800 and 64gb

Yeah mine is in January. I'm gonna cry if there's no s800 in it.

I don't think HTC can afford to give the Note 3 the advantage.

Impossible, no device has S4 Pro. Budget handsets now have Qualcomm S400 dual core chips.
It is IMPOSSIBLE that an unannounced device will ship with that

They're not gonna call it a "Max" with the same screen size. Plus, photos were already shown and it has a way larger screen.
However, I'm on the same page as most of you guys. I'd love to have it, but if it doesn't have the 800 in it, I won't get it. My plan was to get the Note 3 and get rid of that when the Max came out, but maybe I'll just keep my One and hang on to the Note 3. It just doesn't seem possible that there wouldn't be an 800 in the Max. I guess we'll see.
