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.

Whatever phone that stops you from OPing threads like this before searching. There are stickies for this in other sections.
Sent from your phone you lost the game.

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.

And it probably won't be for a while knowing the FCC and how long it takes to pass things through them.
I wouldn't expect this handset to be out on the US market right away, if at all, either. The snapdragon 800 chipset is definitely something to drool over but when the odds of it actually showing up in the US are slim to none I wouldn't get to upset.
Korea is home to Samsung, they're going to get the latest and greatest phones from them every time. Not to mention Korea's wireless infrastructure is growing in speed much quicker than any place here in the US aside from maybe Kansas where Google Fiber is available.
All-in-all, just be happy with the S4 you have now. If you want a pick me up, go compare specs chipset wise with the HTC One - 1.9 GHz vs. 1.7 GHz is a clear win for the S4 on the chipset forefront even if you can easily overclock it to 1.9 GHz.

This news doesn't bother me at all. First, the S4 is already fast and second, I'm gonna be upgrading to the S5 when it comes out anyways.

i will buy Note n7000

i will buy a new phone after 2 days and i think to buy note 1 n7000
can any one explain what the problems that faces this phone
is it laggy ?
some peoples say the s2 better than the note !! i want to know is it real

I auggest go for canvas 4 instead of note 1.
Canvas 4 can easily beat note 1 in daily use performance.
U will see many people over here talking about benchmarks and an tu tu tu which frankly hardly makes any difference in daily usage.
Note 1 with JB is laggy and nobody can prove this wrong.
N same is the case with S2.
Canvas 4 less costly, many features are same except PEN. You will have smart stay, smart pause etc etc.

Go for nexus phone... Samsung nexus or nexus 4...

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.

M8 vs Note 3 user experience.

Anybody come from a Note 3? I'm thinking of trading my Note for one of these.
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Free mobile app

The only thing I can see that you'll miss is the screen size.. and maybe the stylus.. otherwise everything else beats the note 3. I did notice that even with a gig of less ram, this phone still out performs the note 3. Oh and the sound is worth the switch alone.

Agreed 100% The stylus was great for a while but like all Samsung gimmicks, they just get in the way after a while.
And I know not everyone likes it, but BlinkFeed is a feature I use every day.

I made the transition from the Note 3 to this phone. The Note 3 ran pretty much flawlessly for me and I had no real complaints about it. It's just that I'm kind of phone obsessed and really wanted this phone.
This phone definitely has a way sexier build and feels like a quality device compared to the Note 3. I also feel that the camera is better on this phone than the Note 3. The difference in screen size is noticeable but this screen is not exactly small so you will get used to it after a little while.
Overall, if you are a phone fanatic who needs the latest and greatest I don't think you'll regret getting the M8. It's a sleek and sexy phone that takes better pics than the Note 3

One of the features I love on my Note is being able to assign a Notification Tone to a contact. Is this possible on the M8?

Anything is possible

Care to share some options?

You can apply a ringtone, but not a notification tone. U can use GoSMS, etc., to apply individual ringtones.

I currently own both (Note 3) and (M8 Harman Kardon Edition).
While the M8 has superior build quality and superior sound it does not beat the Note 3 imo...Especially if you use and love S-Pen functionality and care about camera quality.
