So, esteemed technology trendsetters,

Which Android Smartphone phone currently on the South African market do you reckon is the best (and why).
 
Galaxy Note. Reason: Because I say so and Mike agrees with me.

LOL!
 
One quickly gets used to the size of the Note, and then, after a few days of use, asks yourself why you accepted less for so long. My S2 looks like a toy, and I can't help feeling cheated/abused when I look at the iPhone 4 (How did Apple get me to pay so much for so little!). LOL! Just ask Note owners.
 
The Note works because it is thin and light. It looks heavy but when you use a real one it feels very different.
 
HTC One X or Galaxy S3 (In a month though)
The OP said 'current'. Galaxy Note also gets my vote. Its the most powerful phone & most powerful tablet, irrespective of which of the two you prefer to call it!
 
Yip Note is smooth, functional and pretty awesome... luvin mine (had it a week now). Could have waited till next month for the One X .. but hey, wtf, I'm impatient...

Best hardware specs and industrial design: HTC One X
Best overall combination of hardware and software (imho): Galaxy Nexus

The most important principle that I would stick with is to stay away from any phone that doesn't run Android 4.0 (ICS). That rules out the Galaxy Note, unfortunately.
 
Best 3 phones and in this order

1. Galaxy Note
2. Galaxy Note
3. Galaxy Note
Like the VW add said "duidelik in a ander klas"

That's close enough to be current, One X is available overseas, not sure about here but if you're looking to get a top end phone it would be in your interest to wait a month for better models if the note isn't to your fancy
 
Well I ordered my Xperia S

3 reasons:
  • 12 MP camera with dedicated shutter button.
  • HDMI support (Can use any Micro HDMI and play my movies/Photo's/Games on my TV)
  • 341 ppi it even kicks the iPhone's retina display in the face on sharpness, not to even mention the Bravia Engine.

Also I like the look, its 4.3" (I dont want a tablet that can dial, thank you very much) and I am looking at getting me a Smartwatch as well.

Currently on HTC Desire HD thats single core 1Ghz, so 1.5 dual core should be more than enough as I don't have problems on my old phone or a need to up CPU yet, Oh and it actually looks cool. not like the HTC One's dated design :)
