I wanted a G3 as my next phone when my current contracf comes to an end, but i may look at other manufacturers doesn't have to be the main ones. Like Samsung LG HTC or Googles Nexus.
Could be a ZTE, Xioami or Oppo.
But i doubt there coming to contracts, maybe an import
Will have to look around

yeah it came to a huge surprise to me that nexus 5 did not have SD slot, unless I read too many reviews and got it all mixed up lol

@2ndComing it's so nice cheap deal to buy it , but maybe a LG G3 could be a better life mate for 1-2 years

I am indeed bud.
Nothing better than a stock experience.
Flash AOKP or a stable CM build (if theres one available)
As soon as I root.
Xposed Modules are OK.
I'm just not really into them, people say Xposed is killing ROMS Lmfao. Probably by the people that have never gone of stock ROM.
I have had a couple soft bricks through Xposed. So I don't use it. Plus it's buggy.
But back to question:
Yes mate I'm into rooting flashing all that goodness
@LiamAtkins90
AOKP is defenitly the best <3
But when you're into romming then you can better go for a well known manufacturer because less known manufacturers are delivering devices with less developers onto it.
I suggest you to choose a Nexus 5 or a LG G3 and perhaps maybe a Huawei ascend P7 ( but i'm not sure if it has enough development )

Very true. That's what's put me off getting a Chinese Phone (low cost good specs) because it's no support from devs also build quality is poor.
So I will definitely be going with a known manufacturer when it's time for a upgrade.
Totally agree. one thing I saw a plus about nexus 5 is it hits almost all bands for connectivity...cept 12 haha
but I also always been an HTC fan and the new M8 looks really good and runs very well and the sound is sick both with head set and not, and voice is great too. lol I am about to flip coins lol I am going to wait til Wed the 16th thats when the g3 will be at my tmobile store. So I will get to mess with it and see.

Many friend haha.
But if I'm being honest what has had my attention for some time is the Project Ara Moduler Phones.
Really interested in the ideas and wondering how Google will handle it. What's your views on the Ara project mate?
In terms of smartphones available now it is probably 2:
LG G3
HTC M8
Not really interested in Sony or Samsung.
But I am interested I a product from Xioami called MiPad but I'm more interested in the K1 CPU and Kepler GPU.
@2ndComing
This is my buy list what i can spend:
Nexus 5 + game PC
Or
LG G3 and 2-3 months later a Game PC
Or
A HTC M8 and 4-5 months later a game pc
What should i do?

You have your priorities messed up bro.
Computer always comes first
If you have a phone and it works and does what you need then there you go. To be honest my favorite Samsung was the GS2. I actually missed that phone and the case I had was sick too it was like otter defender but looked like a spine lol It also ran awesome although live recording and a lot of the new games sucked. It also did not have the storage issue like the GS3 and 4 had.
So guess it also depends what you use your phone for. I am in the entertainment business and always promoting my band and having people listen to my stuff in person, so HTC seems a good way to go now that they amped the one up by coming out with the m8. As far as wanting the best i can get without going samsung as far as specs, screen size and so on would be the LG G3. Yet to hear the sound on it and other stuff.
Nexus 5...if you just want to play games and have a basic stock android with **** ton of roms and support it seems to be a good winner. and dont forget the price! If you like taking pics and videos I heard to stay away from it. But I guess as always it boils down to preference and I was just hoping someone could answer me better than I could LOL

@Invincible10001 The Galaxy S ( well known as S1 ) is a really step back
Are u sure you don't mean the S4 or S5 ?

He said the next Galaxy S. So he probably mean the next galaxy phone that comes out after the s5. Anyways the next Galaxy smartphone won't be called the Galaxy S6 I heard.@Invincible10001 The Galaxy S ( well known as S1 ) is a really step back

Any hint how I can obtain physical access to a device that I don't own yet in order to install this certainly great app for the suggested check?Before you buy an used phone, check it with this app:
See how many charging cycles it has.
500+ and you know the battery is on way down.1G53 is a low end phone - G42 is a better choice.
Amoled, FHD, better SoC etc
Compare Motorola Moto G42 vs. Motorola Moto G53 - GSMArena.com

Xperia 10 III is as good as G42, with more RAM, but an older phone and cost more:

Thanks. Won't work on my phone as it's for Android 14, but am looking for another app to check number of cycles.Before you buy an used phone, check it with this app:

500+ and you know the battery is on way down.1Compare Motorola Moto G84 vs. Motorola Edge 30 Neo - GSMArena.com
Its a bit older phone, but still nice.
Bit smaller screen size, smaller battery, less RAM, but a better camera, OTG support, and should get Android 14 too.
If the price is right, lower than G84, and you like the phone, go for it.
If the price is the same, and the camera is not in your focus, then get the G84 because it has an amasing battery life, microSD expansion is very nice too.1
Thank you so much for the elaborate response, after 5 days of intense research, I wasn't happy enough with the offers at the 300-400 range, not enough to call the shot, so I ended up lowering the budget to avoid disappointment, and got a poco x6 for 277 euros, is alright, I feel like if I had forked out more for a redmi note 12 pro plus or note 13 pro plus, I would feel disappointed... -
30mines is either galaxy s3 or galaxy note for t-mobile
