Thinking ahead, there will be a sad day when my trusty Incredible S kicks the bucket. So I've started looking for comparable phones seeing as I love this one so much, and my basic requirements are 4" screen size and hopefully HTC unless I can be convinced otherwise (I love Sense).
I think the Desire X is looking pretty great and is at the top of my list so far. http://www.htc.com/au/smartphones/htc-desire-x/
Any other suggestions? Or what will you be getting?

I would advise against the Desire X as a replacement for the Inc S. It probably wouldn't me much of an upgrade, if at all. The Desire X does have an S4 processor, but it's the lowest end S4 available and is nowhere near the performance levels of the S4's you find in the One X/S, North American GS3 etc. It also uses a significantly older CPU architecture in the Cortex A5, whereas our phone has a Cortex A8 CPU and modern dual cores/quad cores are based on the Cortex A9. The latest S4 processors are loosely based off the Cortex A15 which hasn't been released to the masses yet.
TLDR; Go with a Nexus phone or a higher end HTC than the desire X
Personally, I won't buy another HTC phone until they release a phone with on-screen buttons and 2GB of RAM. I'm hoping they make a phone like that, I really want another HTC.
I like Xperia S.
SGS3 though I don't see my IncS dying anytime soon lol. Ganna have to wait till my contact ends in 2013 Aug. Even then I think I'd be happy with SGS3 though new and better phones would be out by that time lol

Agree, don't buy HTC desire x
I honestly think it's not an upgrade.
I am actually thinking of xiaomi phone haha, can't wait for the review once it's out. Another option is HTC one x

My next phone is going to be an htc one X. Nice phone and I'll still have text reflow.
I wonder why text reflow is not implemented by default into Android.
Thanks for the info. Yeah I understand it wouldn't be much of an upgrade if I chose the Desire X, but I love the incredible s so much I wanted something similar. I really don't want anything larger than 4", I have my Nexus 7 for things that require a larger screen so that seems to limit my options to mid-range phones these days.
ZaySk.. that's crazy that it uses older CPU architecture than the IncS :s why on earth would they do that?
maybe an iphone5?
Nah
I know you will hate me but my next phone is Nokia Lumia 920 I really liked it and very interested in New WinPhone8 OS

I don't hate you, those new Nokia windows phones look awesome
Just that with windows phone 7, they didn't update after 7.5 to 8.0
Its like us being updated from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5, but not receiving 4.0
At least we had custom ROMs
Until Microsoft can prove that they care about older devices, I won't be buying windows

Well I have one more year of warranty, so guess if it dies it will be a replacement.
But if it die maybe an HTC One S.Don't like the size of the X.In fact I'd like something 4'..
This with HTC quality, replaceable battery + micro sd would be perfect

I have always liked the meizu mx, best looking phone on the market imo
If it had dev support I might have bought one
I look at all these new phones, but in reality I'm not getting one until like may next year
Venom and project x transformer will add life to our device
And if we get proper source built jb with the 3.x linux kernel, that will too

Mmm the Windows phones do look slick but, like Markj said, Microsoft and Nokia's lack of support for their older products means I won't be getting one.

I'm currently thinking of buying a Galaxy Nexus. It's pretty cool and my IncS is about to get its USB-Port broken but I can still sell it to my brother when it's working. But I'm not sure. A One X would be the best thing that could happen to me but I really cannot afford that. I just hope my IncS doesn't let me down so soon...

hopefully. A dev on rootzwiki tried to port a htc one rom to the vivid with sense 4.0 and he couldnt. He said that the new sense was incompatible with our rill aka our radio. Now htc might be able to change that but you never know.
Only time will tell...but being a 2011 phone we are more towards the bottom of the list...but near the top of the bottom of the list since this phone is only 2 months away from being a 2012 phone...

The One Line (X+, X(L), S, and V) will get it first. Then more than likely Desire X and the EVO 4G LTE, as those are the the only other 2012 HTC Androids with a Snapdragon S4. The only other 2012 devices, the Desire V and Desire C, are Snapdragon S1 and I doubt HTC is going to try to put JB on that (however if they do, that's a good sign for us). Then we hit the 2011 devices - The Explorer (another S1 device), then the Rezound, Vivid, Amaze, Sensation, EVO 3D, Sensation XE, all Snapdragon S3 devices, and in my opinion, the next worthy contenders for JB (the Rezound and Vivid being the most recently released). All other 2011 devices are S2 (Sensation XL, Incredible S, Desire S). Will we ever see an official carrier release? HIGHLY doubted. But if HTC really cares and they actually try - there should be some leaked RUUs to play with
(All Info from here - DEVICES PROCESSORS)
IRL - I bet they only give releases for S4 devices and say screw the rest of us.
There is a variant (very small market) of the One S (codename VilleC2), that is actually a Snapdragon S3. This is the device from which Rafy was trying to port Sense 4.0. Since then, they've also gotten a ICS 4.0.4/Sense 4.1 RUU (in football's thread) as well. I don't know what the actual problem was with Sense 4.0 not supporting our RIL, but if there are any porters out there who want to give 4.1 a shot, that's your best bet. And IF HTC gives them JB, again, a good place from which to start trying a port.
I think we have a good chance. Our device was the first AT&T device to get ics officially, maybe even the first snapdragon s3 device too. TBH the sensation without a doubt will get it, and the vivid follow shortly. The rezound is most likely never since verizon=noupdate4u
I am seriously not holding my breath for this.

That...and unless you have a nexus you typically only get one upgrade -regardless of the manufacturer

I just posted this as it looked interesting how HTC worded it. I really hope MG cracks the mic issue in CM10 as I don't want to have to reinstall the factory software and redo the rooting process just to get JB because it'll be a ****ty sense whored out JB.

I'm just hoping the update doesn't take to long if we do get it
If it were up to htc I'd say sure but it's not. AT&T has the final say in this. Originally htc had planned an ics update for the desire HD that was later canceled however the identical American model, the inspire 4G never even got a shot. AT&T wants you to buy a one x or one x+ so I don't see it happening

It would help greatly with cm10 development. I definitely want it. Jelly bean is a very nice update, and would speed up our phones greatly, as well as giving us a fast and stable Google now. And notifications are so much better.
Maybe the raider, velocity, or holiday might get it. Really or is unfair how carriers block these updates from us. Not giving me an update is just inconveniencing me, because I'm not going to spend money on their absurd no contract prices. And with the nexus 4 out there and me considering it heavily, they are just going to loose out on future upgrades and contracts from me.
I usually get $500 in Christmas cash every year, but still I hate spending most of it on a phone, so much other things I'd rather buy, not to mention I have credit card debt I'd like to take out. Here's hoping for a breakthrough in the next month, either an announcement for an update or a cracked ril opening the door for aosp/aokp/and cyanogenmod
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I wouldn't hold my breath, this phone bombed pretty heavily in a lot of markets. Here in Canada they were giving them away for free on contract by like, February.
We'll know whether we're getting it as soon as one a phone on AT&T gets updated to Jelly Bean. Our phone was the first phone on AT&T (and america) to receive an ICS update, and with it they announced every phone that would be getting an ICS update. So I imagine they'll follow suit with this update
No way At&t is making me a buy a phone without an sdcard slot and non removable battery, just for jellybean. The hox or hox+ ain't worth the money. I'd at least want to see sense 4 on our phone, even if it is ics.
The one x+ has 64 gigs of storage, why would you need an sd? I kinda like it but after my vivid experience I'd only buy an htc again if they made a nexus. Besides I'm over custom ui's

Some people have a lot of music/movies/pics...and if they are an audiophile, or soon to be an audio phile they won't settle for anything under 320kbpseaning the average song is 10mb...so 100 songs is about 1 GB...6400 is all you can get with 64gbs...and that's if your only sticking with 320kbps, most audiophiles will go with flac which is an even bigger size...so your looking at just a couple thousand songs on 64gb, and then if you want to have a ROM or two handy, that's half a GB right there, what about some room for camera pics and videos...you'd probably want at least a gb free for that...apps? I think you get the point, for the average user 64gb is enough...but to those who will only use the highest quality music/video files cause they can hear/see the differnce between low quality ones...then 64gb isn't even close to enough....
I'm not an audiophile myself, but I'm close to being one, I have a nice pair of actual headphones, and if the music is under 320kbps I will not download or buy it...listen to an iTunes 128kbps version of a song, then listen to a 320kbps version and you'll understand why...the sound is a lot more full in 320kbps...I have a total of 46gbs on my infuse cause I have a 32gb SD card...not even close to enough, still missing quite a bit of my music, I only have 628mb free which I save for the occasion that I may need to download something...
Anyways...I guess you don't need more then 64gb, but that's one reason a lot of people would want more than 64gb, cause we are audio/video snobs lol

I used to have a zune 32 gig and 16-20 was all the more I ever kept it full, if you need more than that your probably not listening to all your music anyway. Every mp3 I have encoded from the cd used lame alt preset standard, variable bit rate, gives you the highest quality at the lowest size, should be good enough for anybody really.
Also until recently, the largest sd you could get was 32,so typically 48 gigs was the max you could get anyway

Nice find. I guess I will be waiting.
Possible though I've also read they're the ones making the "new" nexus 10 and that the 6 is still going to be made by LG. these rumors are far from confirmed. I mean we've been hearing about a "New Nexus 10" for over a year.
It would be a dream come true to have both aosp and sense roms to choose from, hope it happens

Rumors says, Google Nexus 6 will sport a bigger display, probably around 5.5 inches, along with a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, 2 or 3 GB RAM and 16 GB / 32 GB of internal memory.

I have little doubt this rumor will change, otherwise for as long as I've been hoping to grab a Nexus I wouldn't buy an 801-equipped device in October 2014. In the meantime I'm keeping my ears open for the next Moto X and the OnePlus One which will probably not land on Sprint unfortunately. Project Ara is on my radar as well but nothing will arrive until 2015. This is why I didn't feel compelled to upgrade over my HTC One, although my brother's M8 looks sexy.
If HTC does make a Nexus 6 how do u guys think the camera will work? Think it will include the image chip that HTC has been using on its recent phones? With the inclusion of the image chip on a stockish Rom do u think it will improve the aosp camera by allowing the aosp community access to the chip or do u think it will be a Rom like the play edition of the HTC one where it is built using the sense framework?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
I wonder if this is part of the reason why with Sense 6 HTC is going the route of making its widgets and sense features individual components that can be downloaded from the Google Play store. Between the Google Edition (which is practically a nexus type device anyways) and possibility of the next Nexus 6, this would allow people to still get the HTC Sense feel on those devices.
Personally the camera functionality and People Widgets/interactivity are big reasons why I like sense over AOSP. If I could pick and choose the sense features to have in my phone though that would be sweet.
So I guess I'm lucky I haven't bought the m8 yet. Thanks for the great news riff!
Well this is nice to know. Was gonna go get me a Nexus 5 since I can take advantage of the Spark network. Wasn't really feeling the same camera gimmick on the m8. Guess I gotta put up with single band LTE for 6 more months.

If true, this will no doubt be my christmas present to myself. I've been wanting an HTC nexus for a long time, and now that they finally have sprint and tmobile support in one phone (assuming that stays as is, but I can't see them going backward on it), I'm sold.
So happy I didn't get the m8 if this is true... Nice find Riff!

I love my ONE M7 and was considering an M8 until I read this, gonna hold off to see if the rumor comes true
rumored to have a 5.5 inch screen, what the hell people, I like a device with a nice screen but if we get any bigger I may as well carry my nexus 7 around in my pocket....(on that note...what are they gonna call the next nexus after the 6, we already have a nexus 7...lol)
It's awesome if the rumors are true but with I love sense too much. I hope they make the nexus 6 though. They need the money from it

i absolutely love love my iphone but i want to try android
so should i trade it for m7 or keep the iP5 and wait to a better android device i can buy or trade with iphone
well, personally im to htc over Iphone - only had iphone 4s, but quickly got rid of it again and went to htc one later on (which i havent regret)
its a preference still, dont see why you would trade if you infact love the phone you have already just to try out android
i havent had the iphone 5 myself only played around with it from my friends who have it
still prefer android, no doubt.
i would properly wait till next launches of phones if you had in mind of buying a new, thats what i do.
yeh trade it for htc one loll, just install miuiv5 rom on it after, best of both worlds ps, make sure everything is workin on htc one before ie headphone jack and both speakers
is the m7 laggy or has battery drain on sense 6 4.4.3 ?

I traded my iphone 5s for a htc one (m7) and havent had moment regret. The iphone 5s was/is a great phone, would recommend to anyday
but the htc one and android for that matter just gave me a lot more fun due to the android os being so much opener and the fact that i dont
like apple desciding what i can or not install or use on my phone.
And after rooting and installing custom roms the fun just got a lot better. Im even thinking about getting a second M7 so i have 1 for daily use (maybe stock..) and 1 for playing around with roms everything. For me this phone is just perfect, 4,7inch screen is excellent, the phone size is just right (shouldnt be bigger).
