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.

Gs3 is too big... I I think I've decided on the ion... I I don't hate htc... But i do hate Microsoft lol

Agreed! HTC is good with designs and Sense 4.0 is good...its the hardware that lags

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.

Wich is the best tablet to use with an HTC one?

My friends, I'm thinking that I really need a tablet to complement my SGN2. I don't want to close any option before I hear from you. I'm an advance user, and I'm looking for something that really gives me more that my sgn2. I used to have an iPad I sold it because only my children were using it to play around, but since the anounncement that office 365 was out in USA, I'm thinking to get me an iPad mini. Another choice might be an w8 tablet, since I want it only to get my job done (lots of reports and presentation, microsoft dominates my working environment). I was thinking also to let go my SGN2, get an HTC one and buy a note 10'. What do you think?? Please help me out here.

Or wait a month or two for a probable announcement of the next Nexus 7 Unless you need something bigger in which case a new Nexus 10 should make it's way to announcement soon as well~

wait for the new N7 or N10
if you're getting an android tablet might aswell be a nexus

But what do you think of the other tablets?, I want it to use it on my job, advance tools for powerpoint and advance tools for excell... on Android I can't seems to find somethingh as powerfull as the office suite.
I've allready have an apple account with several software bought, maybe w8 is a good choice but it's a new system and just to have to buy all over again just doesn't seems right.

Well it's weird then that you're asking on here what NON-Android/HTC device to get considering you're already leaning way towards an Apple device anyway for the above stated reasons

Thats beacause I don't know everything and maybe there is something that I'm missing, don't you think?

It's a work based tablet. You shouldn't be buying a tablet for work though

I am using galaxy note 8.0 and HTC one. You just can't get wrong with the combination.
I used S4 which I think was really laggy and half of the memory was taken by Samsung apps.HTC one get the dev edition from HTC USA online store.
It is amazing piece of equipment.

Sure, I'll use it only when I feel creative. I also have an Lenovo X220 Tablet and is really to big and heavy to carry arround. That's my main working device, but on the go, sometimes y feell that my SGN2 just doesn't help me all the way. I'll take a look at that Dell. thank you!!

Nexus 7 hands down. Love mines from day 1.

The Goodbye/ByeBye thread

This thread is for all those ROOTED users who have SOLD/THROWN AWAY their HTC Salsas, NOT for advertising and putting salsas up on sale.
This helps devs keep track of active users
You can optionally tell us why you sold/threw your salsa. You might have sold/thrown away your salsa because of
HTCs lack of support.
Lack of developers.
Contract got over.
Obsolete specifications (screen size, processor and so on).
You threw it in a dustbin because it lagged.
You used it as an antique piece to renovate your house or donated it to a museum because you bricked it.
Gave it off as charity to a church/mosque/temple.
Dropped it in the toilet.
Any reason.

Hi
I am still using the HTC Salsa as my primary phone .Ans I am thankful to developers like u to keep the fun alive in this 2.5 years old device :good:
Have been using the stock ROM as all the JB ROMS are having camera , Battery & GPS issue on my device
I plan to upgrade it by December this year , and the main reason for my upgrade is 1.Most Games are not supported on this device
2.I need a bigger screen and more RAM ( i think the iPhone 5 Screen Best suits me ) as i mainly read ebooks on my device ( other than Whats app and calling )
3.SNS integration for me is not a BIG buying decision ,( LOL I know u would be thinking then why i bought a phone with 'f- button ' that was mainly as I am a BIG BIG HTC fan and at the time pf buying Salsa in the budget I only had HTC Wildfire as a alternative option )
4.My next phone could be the HTC One Mini .As mentioned I like the screen size not more than 4.5

Well i just bought nexus as my primary phone, but im not selling my salsa cuz so many memories left behind. I wat to say thanx for all developers in here especially fo bigbear who helping me a lots back there.
Thanks for all support, God bless you all :thumbup::beer::thumbup:

Still use Salsa as primary phone. Maybe next year I buy a new phone because CPU works a bit slow and internal memory is too small.
In this time I will help to develop the newer Android versions for the old Salsa.

I got a tab 2 in March End, I'm using it for screen size as primary device now. I won't sell my salsa cause I'm changing my ISP now so hopefully by diwali I do compiling from source of CM and PA ROMs..... I have all the necessary things only thing bothering was internet. I hope that gets resolved. Once it does I'm on a roll.
crest_delta one mini is not a bad choice, look out for more. Push the threshold to 5 inches. Cause anything under 4.5 isn't too great. I got a 7 inch tab for phone calls, trust me tab is fun, if you are ready to bear with a radio set like thing to hold in hands while talking on a phone call. Or better is to keep your salsa and get a nexus 7 WiFi and give a hotspot to it from salsa.

Gave my salsa to my bro, bought xolo q700.

although I've gained an iPhone 4s I'm still using my salsa for satnav etc, but my kids use it alot when I'm not around. i would keep developing but my divorce is kinda messy right now and i cannot do anything.

Sold my Salsa last month.
Got Nokia lumia 925.I must say i really didnt want to sell it for the memories but i use only 1 sim and hence there was no point in keeping it.

@godsgreat_87 how much will they give for a salsa?

To root or not to root

Well I've been a good boy since I have had my one well all of 2 days. I am fairly curious about the rooting possibilities and what types of tons are out there to try.
I have always rooted every Android phone straight out of the box but decided not to with this one. I'm enjoying the stock feel Bart life is really good haven't run out of batt in 24 hours YET.
Since I'm new to HTC devices any tips from you guys before I **** up and brick it lol
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

It's safe to root right away, maybe give it a day or two more to see if it has hardware defects.
This is a hard phone to brick in my opinion.

Even though the Incredible S is a very good and sturdy phone, I would not recommend it at this time as its already past 3 years since it last launched. Do you have some sort of budget??

Hmm well I don't know how much your plan costs nor do I know how vodafone does things but it might be worth to try the S4 Mini, One Mini, or the Xperia SP. They are all pretty descent mid-range phones.
