[Q] Which Android phone to buy?

[asifisbest]

I am selling off my 2 year old HTC Legend tomorrow. I want to buy a new Android phone with atleast

1GHz processor
Adreno 205 or better GPU [I wont play games on it, I have iPod Touch 4G for that]
WVGA upwards resolution
5MP camera AF
Android 4.0 ICS support and loads of Custom ROMs!

The options in my range are,

1. SE Xperia Neo V
2. Samsung Nexus S
3. SE Xperia Ray
4. Samsung Galaxy SL
5. LG Optimus 2X

Why isn't the SGS2 on your list?
I just made the switch to it, and can attest to the pure love that it exudes.

it's called budget concious

all the ones listed above are under $400

SGS2 is at least over that

so from that list

the only worthy phone to buy now is the Nexus S that will get the official ICS4

all the other ones are "you might get ICS4, but most likely never" list

I would choose the optimus 2x over the nexus s since it's dual core and nexus s is not and they will both be getting ics. My dad has a nexus s and trust me, dual core phones make a huge difference in the speed and snappy-ness of the phone lol. I don't know much about the SE phones.. but you can look them up and compare them easily. Good luck

Which GPU is faster? Adreno 205 or SGX540? Which phone will get first ICS based ROM? I am finalizing between Neo V and Nexus S.

check out Amazon. I think for about $30 more, you could probably score the SGS2.

Both SE phones will receive ICS port soon, and SE released and public Alpha of it.
