Hello,

I have an upgrade coming up this fall. The problem is, I have no idea what phone to get. To begin with, I'm on AT&T, so I'm sure I'm already limited to all the phones. But here's what I know so far, and I need some advice.

I know the Sony Xperia T is coming to AT&T, along with the LG Optimus G? It's supposed to be quad-core with 2gb of ram and 13mp camera. Then HTC might release a 1080P screen quad core phone, but no idea on which carrier.


The two most important things for me personally are long battery and the camera. So it sounds like that LG Optimus G is the right choice.

Does anyone know something I don't? Or other suggestions?

Thanks
 
Can't go wrong with the GS3 right now. Great battery life, in use and at rest, and the camera is ridiculously good. By the fall, it should still be among the top tier phones. Likely not the best anymore, but that will also make it cheaper. Hopefully, the next line will cause a price drop.

But their camera is made by Sony is it not? And if Sony is making a 13mp camera of their own, I think it'll be even better.
 
Since neither the Xperia T nor the Optimus G are available yet I'd reserve judgement until real reviews are available (not previews with pre-production models). Specs are one thing, but how well they are implemented is the key. For example, number of pixels is only one element of a camera - lens and image processing are both more important IMO.

Sony phones are notorious for not being supported, by Sony and by developers. They have upgraded few phones. If you can build your own software, I've heard the hardware is top notch. However, I will never touch a Sony phone because I can't build my own software.

Samsung and HTC are better at upgrading their phones, AND with developer support.

Not to mention, MP really don't mean a whole lot. It doesn't tell you quality, but how much you can zoom in without it becoming pixelated.

I see, I have a Samsung now that I'm happy with. The Galaxy Nexus. If a Galaxy Nexus II were to come out I wouldn't even ask this question in a thread lol. I'd get that immediately.

Technically, you can't consider ANY Nexus phone by manufacturer since its part of the Google device lineup: Nexus One by HTC, Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus by Samsung, then Nexus 7 by ASUS. General speculation is that the next Nexus phone (successor) to the Galaxy Nexus will be made by Motorola. So no, whatever the next Nexus may be, I doubt it will be named 'Galaxy Nexus II'.

Well I was essentially referring to the next "Nexus" device, whomever the production falls upon woud be irrelevant, so long as it's Nexus.
