Title: Re: - Post by: CoinCidental on January 28, 2015, 02:49:15 AM What do you guys think is the best Android phone to get? I might be in the market for a new phone soon and I have no idea what to get. I don't need a really high-spec phone, I only use my phone for calls/texts/email/youtube. I currently have a GT-i9000. I'd like to get a large screen phone. I also run cyanogenmod and I'd prefer a device that can run it. So what do you guys think are the best Android phones available now? i use galaxy note 4 and i love it .......custom rom obviously though :) about to move to cm 12 on android 5.0 once they work out the bugs Title: Re: - Post by: CoinCidental on January 28, 2015, 02:54:39 AM i use galaxy note 4 and i love it .......custom rom obviously though :) about to move to cm 12 on android 5.0 once they work out the bugs I was looking at the Galaxy note series. They are pretty expensive! don't think I could justify spending that much on a phone. I paid 250euro no contract for my Galaxy S gt-i9000 and that was 5 years ago! they are top of the range but i use it xx hours a day so i want the best screen and fastest phone i can get it does almost everything my laptop can do ..... great camera too ,amazing pics Title: Re: - Post by: b!z on January 28, 2015, 02:58:18 AM The Oneplus One has excellent specs for the price.
Title: Re: - Post by: iCEBREAKER on January 28, 2015, 03:07:10 AM G3 is fast and has the sharpest screen available, but battery life is poor (although that might be partly La'Zooz fault).
Title: Re: - Post by: b!z on January 28, 2015, 03:08:33 AM The Oneplus One has excellent specs for the price. Yes I was considering this, especially since its stock cyanogenmod. It's my fallback in case I don't find anything else, I'd prefer to get something else. In the same price range... Nexus 6 or LG G3 perhaps? Title: Re: - Post by: CoinCidental on January 28, 2015, 03:09:20 AM sony z3 looks great too but also not very cheap ......
Title: Re: - Post by: Vortex20000 on January 28, 2015, 03:19:29 AM Samsung Galaxy S5, rooted. Good for crypto stuff.
Title: Re: - Post by: TrailingComet on January 28, 2015, 04:08:30 AM I love my Moto X. Can recommend highly.
Title: Re: - Post by: Corenin on January 28, 2015, 04:45:11 AM when you say best then you should check those cell phones also
HTC One M8 Sony Xperia Z3 Title: Re: - Post by: CoinCidental on January 28, 2015, 05:15:29 AM if you can wait a month or two samsung galaxy s6 coming
also htc one m9 much wow wow :) Title: Re: - Post by: Divinespark on January 28, 2015, 06:23:11 AM Sony Xperia Z3 is a killer phone
Alternatively, the Lumia Title: Re: - Post by: KonstantinosM on January 28, 2015, 06:30:15 AM What do you guys think is the best Android phone to get? I might be in the market for a new phone soon as the WiFi on my 5 year old GT-i9000 isn't working correctly and I have no idea what to get. I don't need a really high-spec phone, I only use my phone for calls/texts/email/youtube. I'd like to get a large screen phone. I also run cyanogenmod and I'd prefer a device that can run it. So what do you guys think are the best Android phones available now? For best expensive phone I recommend the Xperia z2 or z3, (they have gorilla glass) but are still really fragile. For a cheaper phone (has a small low res screen) I recommend the NEC terrain, it's awkward and clunky but does the job and is really tough. Title: Re: - Post by: Bitcoins101 on January 28, 2015, 06:38:20 AM The Oneplus One has excellent specs for the price. I feel the value is no longer there for the OnePlus One. When it came out, it was priced great in comparison to the G3 ($350 vs. $550). However, now that the G3 is pretty cheap, (only a couple dollars more than the OnePlus One) the savings aren't really there anymore. The Note 3 can also be picked up used on eBay for <$300 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-N900-Galaxy-Note-3-32-GB-Factory-Unlocked-Black-White-Gold-Smartphone-/361139577286?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item541598a1c6) and has slightly better specs than the OnePlus One.My advice: Buy the Note 3. Title: Re: - Post by: DoubleTrouble on January 28, 2015, 06:39:59 AM The HTC One M8 is a great phone. I really like mine :P
Title: Re: - Post by: sgk on January 28, 2015, 06:47:29 AM If you like Cyanogenmod pre-loaded phones, Oppo N1 is also a good alternative compared to OnePlus One:

There are many good android phone including the Nexus series, but the choice may very well depend upon how much you're willing to spend.

I am looking at it now. it looks fairly decent. Title: Re: - Post by: CoinCidental on January 28, 2015, 07:24:35 AM meizu mx4 is getting great reviews around asia now

Title: Re: - Post by: sifter on January 28, 2015, 02:42:20 PM Nexus,
You can get the developer previews. Project Ara I think it's called is coming our too. Title: Re: - Post by: 1Referee on January 28, 2015, 02:43:13 PM Galaxy Note 4 is a fantastic device.
If I didn't already have a phone I would definitely go for the Note 4. Title: Re: - Post by: sifter on January 28, 2015, 02:48:36 PM Galaxy Note 4 is a fantastic device. If I didn't already have a phone I would definitely go for the Note 4. The 3 and 4 are pretty decent. Also take a look at the alpha. Touchwiz is pretty laggy. Title: Re: - Post by: maku on January 28, 2015, 02:52:04 PM If you guys really want some great phone plus nice price I suggest you check chinese smartphone companies. Some of them are making great phones not really different from top tier Samsung Galaxy phone or other top seller.
Title: Re: - Post by: jones techbit on January 28, 2015, 03:25:30 PM Samsung Galaxy S4 is great phone for me
Title: Re: - Post by: SOAD on January 28, 2015, 03:59:01 PM The HTC One M8 is a great phone. I really like mine :P when you say best then you should check those cell phones also HTC One M8 Sony Xperia Z3 I would also recommend the HTC One M8 though it may be out of OP's price range and maybe overkill if you don't need a flashy phone. Title: Re: - Post by: leex1528 on January 28, 2015, 03:59:50 PM I think the Galaxy S5 is the best phone out there to get at the moment. It really depends on what you want to use it for but Yeah I have heard great things about the S5
Title: Re: - Post by: LuckyBtc on January 28, 2015, 04:48:07 PM Go for Oneplus One, It's cheap and the best phone in my opinion.You can install any rom you like. :)
Title: Re: - Post by: txbtc on January 28, 2015, 10:23:57 PM The Motorola Moto G ,one of the best at the moment
