Is anyone planning to upgrade their device and is looking for a replacement to their current phone? What would it be? And why? I'm planning in a few months so I could use some opinions!!

I've been using IncS for just over a year now. I still think my phone is pretty good and fast for me. Now with ICS, it's even better. I believe it can at least last for another year.
Changed phone to one x. Nice ICS.

Was all in for one s but found the coating chipped problem on the black version, so decide to wait and see.
To me, give my IS duo core, a little better camera (It's already quite good), I will be happily stick with it for another year, it is just so overall nice compare to other phone.

Duo/Quad core with slightly better GPU and I'll use it for another 3 years.
My phone is currently with HTC service for changing USB port /mainboard. Depending on the condition it comes back,I'm sticking with my current phone.
Edit.
I mean I intend to stick with my IncredibleS. Served me well for a year, still has good value & mileage to last for another year,easily.

I've had this phone for close to a year n still not bored with it. Anyone who sees it always has something good to say bout it. Personally I feel it is a very well manufactured phone n with ics it shud b the best performer in its segment cos I heard ics is freakingly stable!!

I just got my phone back from HTC, I sent it in because my power button was a bit dodgy, and my warranty is running out
Anyway I got it back, more than a month later, and it had a new motherboard, s-on with HBOOT 2.00.000
I had planned to sell it, and buy an Evo 3D, but after I took pictures for ebay, I decided to keep it, and I downgraded and rooted it
As soon as ICS arrives, I will be happy

Like everyone would ask!! If you used your one x as much you use incredible s daily what is the battery life you get??
Sent from my Incredible S using Tapatalk
Nexus Family is one of the best candidates.
My friend moved from InS to Galaxy Nexus for a month, And he told me that he wouldn't buy any other brand but Nexus.
The only current phone I would upgrade to would be the One S, and right now I have no plans to retire my Incredible S for the foreseeable future.

Well my IncS sure had a better battery life.
I would like my onex's battery to last longer, but I can live with it.
And the speed and smoothness is so much greater on this one. And I am running completely stock and not even rooted.
Also I am one of the lucky ones having almost none of the reported issues with the OneX.
So its clearly an upgrade I would recommend

Nexus is a good phone but the money u pay for it is not what u get ...earlier nexus were great and up to the mark but the recent one is just plain odd for a flagship phone!! Hope HTC makes the next nexus! And I recently had a chance to use the xperia s .. must say for the price I was impressed and it has a pretty good battery life!!

I've seen sense clocks on many other devices trying to imitate the sense's look. Why not just try a custom launcher, you'll do that anyways on any other device

you can always flash a custom AOSP rom like virtuous inquisition or the wajee one and get rid of sense.
I have virtuous ROM, but I'm going ahead and trading my vivid for the nexus s.

I can't really find a phone worthy to replace my vivid yet. Of course something similar or a little better, yes, bu not that "wow" device. The direction some manufacturers go (no sd card or removable battery, even quad-core with lte) I guess I'll keep it for at least 9-12 more months.

Well, if you had to buy now, I would say you get the Galaxy SIII. You might hate Touchwiz, but if Sense is your thing, there's a port of Sense 4 coming from the Sense4all guys. Performance is good, and you should expect a Jelly Bean rollout soon.
The One X is a good device, but if you plan on rooting it, the 2.20 update (which is on all shipped S4 One X/XL devices) essentially puts you out of luck. The international version is fine, though, and you can also get an official bootloader unlock on it.

i say Siii or wait until the new Samsung note comes out
I say hold off a little longer til you can compare the s3, and note 2 to the One X+. Remember, a variant of the X+ just passed through the FCC, bound for AT&T, just 2 weeks ago. We should hopefully get a definite release date at their events scheduled for tomorrow. My opinion, wait for the Note 2 and X+ to release and compare those 2.
Sent from my HTC Vivid
Gonna upgrade too... But waiting on the one x+.
Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G
same here looking at the X+ but will it give issues like current HOX users are having now, no root and bootloader locked
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll wait to compare the S3, note 2 and One X+. Maybe the One X+ will be easier to unlock and root versus the current One X.
One X+ looks great, just the thing I've been looking to upgrade to. I really hope its easier to root and unlock bootloader than the current One X.
On a design note, am I the only one who really hates the red soft buttons?
EDIT: Actually it seems as of the AT&T version of the One X+ is going to keep the white capacitive buttons

I had a Vivid and upgraded to the One X, could not be more happier.
Yeah I was just looking at the One X+ and comparing it to the note 2, at phone area and both are great looking phones.
If the One X+ is easier to root i might go with it rather then the note 2 sense i really don't like the touchwiz ui.
Any ideas on what to get? I am so over the vivid that I'm not even going to root or s-off. I filed an insurance claim cause I thought it broke and when the new one was sent out, I fixed the old one. So fml on that. I don't want to be stuck with this much longer.

Go with the s3. My mom just got one and it's a glorious device. Easy to root and plenty of great ROMs to flash. HTC will more than likely continue to give the development community the middle finger.

It does seem like the device to get, but the glass back and lack of lte is a bit of a downer. A reviewer for some company dropped it off a desk and wound up with a major crack on the back. Seems like they could have used a bit more common sense in the design. A case should protect it well enough, but it's still ridiculous that a device of that quality has such a weak exterior.

Nexus 4? You're trying to tell me that is hard for you to pick between the super sexy, super sleek, top of the line, aluminum body, specs to die for from the HTC one and the boring design, fragile glass back, boring UI, made by LG nexus 4? Yea, no contest.

The fact you are even posting on xda shows you have more interest in cell phone tech than the average joe. Therefore HTC One. There is no contest between this and N4.
Posting this in the One section is obviously going to get you a biased answer...

I have the nexus 4, development is ok.
But the htc one has WAY more features. Boom sound, better camera.
Oh man... another useless thread started !!!

I would go for the HTC One
There are several reasons why I would get the One over the Nexus 4. The main reason is, that I've always been a fan of HTC phones and build quality. I've also not been a fan of LG. I currently have a One XL and it is awesome. The N4 is better for developers but its going to be more and more behind as far as specs go.
I think for other people the main deciding factor should be interface. With my One X I can choose Sense roms and AOSP roms. With the N4 you're pretty much stuck with AOSP roms.
A friendly advice is post this thread on the General section http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=256
Obviously you're posting on the HTC One forum. Why would an aspiring owner of HTC One let his dream device down over any other device?
*Except for the trolls here who got no life and just come in the HTC One section just to say how they dislike the device*
This phone does seem amazing but again it's going to be crippled by delays in updates so that's why I picked the nexus. The 2gb ram, 720p screen and quad core is more than enough, for me at least

I think everyone knows that nothing beats nexus devices when updates are to be compared. But there are some people like myself who rather prefer usability and unique features than updates. I myself am satisfied already with ICS. The sole reason why I decided to get this and ditch my phone is that my phone doesn't officially support ICS and unless I see very significant changes I won't upgrade.
I have a nexus 4 and really want the HTC One. Only reason I'd miss the nexus is the updates.

One smashes n4. Aside from that, as stated before, with HTC device you can run sense ROMs or AOSP ROMs. More choice. Also, Google makes a point to make sure nexus devices are not top-spec, officially. They do this cuz it's a development device. What good is it to develop on a device that only 10% android users have the specs to support? Also, I checked out n4 cuz all reviews said it felt Luke a million bucks in your hand. I thought, it felt like junk, personally.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
M7 no contest. I'd take a Note II, GS3, Lumia 920, or HTC HOX+ before I went back to the N4.
Monetarily the N4 is great for the no-contract price. In no other way would I pick the N4 as my phone.

Who cares about prompt updates anymore anyways. Are prompt updates that important anymore? This is xda. We can have any update or Rom.

If I had to choose between the two phones, I would choose the S4. The HTC One's issues with battery life is my biggest concern. I am probably not going to get either phone as my contract doesn't end till June 2014. If I was going to upgrade I was thinking about getting the Blu Life One, it is half the price, comes unlocked and there is no overlaying OS on top of Android.

While the one looks impressive, after having 3 HTC phones and **** support for all 3 including the major issues devs have had with the devices I'm def going Samsung next. All HTC care about is selling devices then abandoning them, and while I still love the look and feel of HTC they have dug their own grave.
