Best Android Smart Phone currently for sale

[AfricanTech]

So, esteemed technology trendsetters,

Which Android Smartphone phone currently on the South African market do you reckon is the best (and why).

 

[BeVonk!]

Galaxy Note. Reason: Because I say so and Mike agrees with me.

LOL!

Does the Note still qualify as a phone

Even Moses would call that a Tablet.

HTC One X or Galaxy S3 (In a month though)

oNe X +1

Sony Xperia S - awesome UI overlay, and 12MP camera, or hold on for Samsung S3?

 

[BeVonk!]

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.

 

[BeVonk!]

The Note works because it is thin and light. It looks heavy but when you use a real one it feels very different.

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...

 

[agentrfr]

Get a Note. I love my one. Fantastic phone.

So, esteemed technology trendsetters,

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.

 

[Wag]

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"

 

[Earther]

One X. Good UI. Best specs atm and already available from MTN.

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

Reckon I'm going to wait...since I got a tablet, large phone screen size is no longer a compelling factor

 

[Elimentals]

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

I had 8 tablets at the time of getting my Note dude. Did not stop me.
Seriously, it is a brilliant phablet!
