Monday Poll: Which of Verizon’s New Phones Interests You the Most?

by: Kellex | posted 09.24.12 | Polls

Since we talked about Verizon’s epic Q4 2012 roadmap in a post earlier today, which ended by asking for your personal preference in the devices mentioned, we thought we may as well make it official with a poll. HTC has the DROID Incredible X in the works, Samsung the Galaxy Note 2, Motorola the RAZR HD and RAZR MAXX HD, and LG the Spectrum 2. But beyond those, there are Windows Phone 8 devices, a new slider from Samsung, and others on the horizon. If you would pick one, what would it be?

i would probably get the next Nexus phone..hopefully if its from Verizon. Ive been using a Galaxy Nexus running eclipse Jelly Bean and i couldnt be happier. i am exited about the new fleet of Windows Phone 8 devices, though.
Zach Armstrong

I would say Nexus 2 but since Verizon is really the only choice that has coverage in my area. I would have to say wait for something else.
brandnew234

I’m up for an upgrade and the choices are all so amazing, I love the Note II features, but the UI is… bland&reminds me of GB.
I like HTC’s UI, and build quality.. but their batteries.
And then there’s Motorola, great phone. But the specs make it so-so in terms of future proofing.
I wont settle for anything less than a flagship droid.
johnc7995

Should have added the iPhone 5 to that poll, just for shits and giggles.

  no

Something Else: Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2
c4v3man

You need to make the choices bigger, 13 people screwed up and picked the LG Spectrum 2. Obviously the text was too small and they selected the wrong option…
- moew
  
  Bitches love the Spectrum 2, they are buying it in record numbers. Just because YOU want more specs, doesn’t mean it’s a bad phone. downboat 4 U!!!!1!!!11!!11!!
  
  Plus it has qi wireless charging built in, and it’s cheap on-contract!

Nexus! Can’t wait to see the new nexus lineup
- DroidJ
  
  This! I can’t believe “The next Nexus” wasn’t an option.
Mchl496

I have a galaxy s3. Galaxy note is a bigger version with a quad core processor… bigger battery and yea. I have big hands and 5inches would not be a big deal.

IPhone 5 … Come on keep it real … 5 millions phones sold in a weekend … People sweating a new Nexus and where is it ????

I voted something else. I want i5.

  then get off this website, fucktardd
  - JulianZHuang
    
    Why? I’m still stuck with gn for another year. So I’m still consider an android fan. Beside, I also use zune hd as mp3 player and pre ordered itouch 5. Why you can’t be little bit more open mind. Why you so angry and mad toward other os.
    - Bionic
      
      no true android fan would ever get an iPhone
      - JulianZHuang
        
        Than you are no different than an isheep.

      There’s no such thing as an itouch.

The Next Nexus device

The next 4.5″ no-bezel/buttons device with high-end specs. Oh wait, nevermind, Android is obsessed with size!
- brandnew234
  
  Droid RAZR M. Check it out.

Honestly none of those interest me more than the iPhone 5.

Optimus G… Hoping for Vz
Jeff

If the new Nexus has quad core processor and a 5.5″ screen or bigger I will wait before buying the GNote2
- Guest
  
  There’s always Google Nexus 7″ tablet
- Bionic
  
  i dont think bigger than 5.5 is practical in any way for a PHONE
- NinjaHobo
  
  I would agree with this, pretty much anti physical home button etc after using the gnex…. but I’m also very impatient.
- Boss_king
  
  keep dreaming!
Kerry Davies

THe GSIII is to big for me my Nexus is at that big point. if HTC can make there 5′ phone feel no bigger than mine, with a super small case then ill be interested but other wise im out. What happend to small phones I want thin I want power and I want something that doesnt fill up my pocket
- KleenDroid
  
  They still make the smaller phones for those that want them. But most of the top end phones are tending to be geared to the majority that like working with a bigger screen.
  
  But I hear ya… I would rather carry a smaller phone… but I want to use a bigger phone.
  - Kerry Davies
    
    I kinda just assumed thats what tablets were for. If i wanted something to be bigger ill use it.
GazaIan

Being an Android fan site I could see the results tilted towards Android phones, but I’m actually interested in the HTC8X.
http://twitter.com/BlackBlizzNerd Ben Landwehr

If there’s no new nexus, the Note 2! The GSIII is a beast with CM10. I love my Nexus and will miss the hell out of modding my softkeys with Photoshop.. but I really am getting tired of its hardware. Then again.. I’ll miss DroidTh3ory as a dev!

I’ve found myself in a bit of a dilemma..

Nexus or bust!
marballe

NEXT NEXUS
ddevito

I’d give serious consideration for a Note 2.
http://twitter.com/djstarion Francisco Rodriguez

Out of the Android phones, I would have to say the Galaxy Note 2. A quad-core Exynos with Verizon LTE is very tempting, however I’m VERY intrigued with Windows Phone 8 and the HTC 8X especially. I’m a huge XBOX 360 gamer and will upgrade to Windows 8 too, so I’m curious to see how well all the syncing is between desktop, mobile and XBOX, especially with SmartGlass.

I’m going to vote None. I’m done with Verizon. GSM Nexus here I come!!… in another 1 1/2 years.
- frankandsimple
  
  been there done that!.. biggest issue with GSM nexus for me was T-Mobile coverage inside stores/buildings. SUCKS!!.. Went back to Verizon thru their win-back department and got iphone 5 for free and a return of my ETF. But of course, you have other choices with GSM.
  When you leave Verizon.. you’ll realize what you are missing.. at least in my case that was true.
  - Bionic
    
    this
- Bionic
  
  ever heard of LTE?
- Boss_king
  
  im right with ya!
frankandsimple

Droid life tried to shut out the iphone from the poll by not even offering it as a choice (you know it IS a phone offered by Verizon).. and yet, the most popular option picked is “something else” ..

Yes, I know something else may mean other phones not listed here.. but this is just FAIL!.
- Liderc
  
  You realize the site you’re on is called “Droid Life” correct? We don’t buy iPhones, ergo – it’s not even an option. “Other” means Nexus to us.
  - jay_peter
    
    So why is the Lumia 920 in the possible options, hmm?
  - LiterofCola
    
    Not necessarily.
    - Liderc
      
      Yes, yes it does.
- jay_peter
  
  They probably did so knowing the iPhone would be the best selling phone in Verizon’s history.
http://www.facebook.com/tylerjehills Tyler James Edward Hills

They said Verizon phone guys. And it’s doubtful that VZW gets another Nexus after defying Google multiple times
Br_d

I played with a Note in an AT&T store the other day and it got me really excited about the screen size. I love it. It will just depend on if VZW will let me keep my unlimited data plan. If I have to buy a phone off-contract, I will probably just replace my Tbolt with a Galaxy Nexus off eBay. I’m not going to spend $800 on a phone.
Hazadriel

New Nexus on Verizon with S4 and accessories on day one.
- Paul
  
  I’m assuming you meant S4pro?
  - Bionic
    
    S4 is really good, but the pro is where its at
TheRobotCow

Since there is an uncertainty about getting a new nexus, i would have to say Nokia Lumina 920. Yea i woulda chosen the razr hd but i still will prefer my nexus.

Moto better listen to this . . . .
-Unlocked Bootloader
-Quadcore LTE
-HD front/back Camera

-Decent Battery Life/ Removable Battery

anything else?

  ive always had removable batts but why does it matter if the damn thing is 3300mah??? Why do you need to remove it?
  - http://www.facebook.com/markaaron.collado Mark Aaron Collado
    
    its always nice having a backup battery for emergencies.
    - LionStone
      
      These are my backups, one a Richard Solo 1800 mAh, pretty small…the solar one is, the Solio, will hold a charge for up to a year and can be plugged in to juice it up too. The solar one is especially good for the back country. They are sealing the battery more nowadays, but I hope not on the HTC beast because I like the option of swapping out with a fresh battery too. I’ve had these since my blackberry days and they still work fine though.

Screw VZW That charge too much for their service.
I went too TMobile and saved $45.00 per month, similar services.
No Contract for the WIN !!!

    I do it all the time and my reception is just fine. I pay $30 a month instead of $100+.

Anything unlockable, where’s the galaxy nexus 2?
- Bionic
  
  so you would buy a chastity belt from VZW?
Q’s

Accidentally chose Galaxy Note 2 thinking it said Galaxy Nexus 2 -_-
jay_peter

You left out the iPhone 5.
- Diablo81588
  
  Noone here is interested in that.
  - jay_peter
    
    Maybe so, but the 5+ million people who pre-ordered one would disagree with you.
    - Liderc
      
      Luckily for us they’re still too dumb to learn how to use the internet.
    - Diablo81588
      
      Let me spell it out for you, since you can’t seem to read properly. Noone “that reads this site” is interested in that.

        Oh, but the Lumia 920 is considered acceptable?

        windows 8 is worse than IOS
      - Diablo81588
        
        The 920 is new and unique. The iPhone 5 is the same old tired iPhone.
    - Bionic
      
      no one with a brain cares
- Bionic
  
  no one cares

Why not include the iPhone 5? Its a phone, its on Verizon, and its new.
Been burned by the HTC Thunderbolt and the invisible ICS update. Burned by the HTC Incredible before that.
- NemaCystX
  
  The OG Incredible was the best on Verizon at that time, especially after the DROID X was out since it was so buggy and had hardware issues. I still have my OG DINC and I held off on getting the DINC 4G because I had hoped a bigger DINC would come out. I’m a huge Red/Black DINC fan and the DINC2 was a sham i think, very disappointed in that one.
  - Zach Armstrong
    
    I have the DINC 2 the phone phone worked well for about 6 months. Now I have been thru 3 in two weeks. The phone is a joke.
- jay_peter
  
  I hope you’re not expecting a real answer, because you won’t get one on this site.
JoeTi

Next Nexus, please. Since I updated to Jelly Bean, my Gnex is enough until then. Although I have crazy processor envy for the S4 and its amazing battery life.
- Stephen Freeman
  
  I am with you here. Nexus or bust!
  - michael arazan
    
    Nexus with quadcore 2 gb ram and something that will play flash videos on the new os please
NemaCystX

Even if we don’t get a new Nexus, seeing how better and better the developers are getting at porting AOSP to “popular” devices. I could live without another Nexus.

If the DROID Incredible X gets as much developer support as the Nexus on Verizon did or as much as the ThunderBolt did in its “hayday” I look at them being able to get ports like AOKP and CM10 on them as quickly as possible. You gotta remember that developer support rides on how popular the device is and how many developers get that same device (for testing reasons). Its just like supply and demand.

Considering HTC lets people unlock the bootloader and most developers are good at rooting and S-off on HTC devices, I look forward to this winter and hopefully the DROID Incredible X isn’t just a Rezound 2
jdrch

Definitely the GN2. I have strong suspicion that 1.5GB RAM is insufficient for a 1080p device like the DIX.
- Paul
  
  It should be fine because none of the apps will be drawn in 1080p, or very few at least. Though who knows what Sense is going to have now that HTC has their hands on that processor.
  - Diablo81588
    
    Nothing is more useless than upconverting.

WONT BUY MOTO AGAIN! NOT AFTER BIONIC CRAP.
- azndan4
  
  Agreed. Motorola just keeps breaking their promises and coming up with excuse after excuse.
  - Diablo81588
    
    And dan keeps trolling moto post after post.

  I whole heartedly agree. What a load of crap.

None…VZW sux…if i had to choose…id pick none….id write in the galaxy nexus 2
http://twitter.com/nguyende De Nguyen

I’m guessing the Optimus G won’t be going to VZW then?
I didn’t realize Nokia releases CDMA phone here in the U.S.
In any case, I might follow the Optimus G, where ever it lands.
burkett375

not excited about any of them….

Something else – LG Optimus G!

Phobic

Aside from the next Nexus (if VZW gets it), I’m strangely looking forward to seeing the Lumia 920. I have no experience with Windows Phone yet this phone looks pretty darn good to me.
- PSU_DI
  
  A good camera, is slowly making it to the top of my list of must haves for a phone. The PureView Tech looks awesome, but I’m still hedging my bets against a dominate MS Mobile OS.
  - http://twitter.com/davidbavin David Bavin
    
    I’m switching from Android 4.1 to Windows Phone. Tired of the lag.
- http://www.flayme.com/troll/ wasteofskin
  
  they do have good radios and build quality, can’t deny it
- ojaymayo22
  
  I’m the same way. If the new nexus doesn’t have huge innovation like the Lumia 920, I think I might just test it out for a change.
http://www.jaxidian.org/update teh Jax

The one with the unlocked bootloader!!! Oh, wait…
- LiterofCola
  
  How original!! Oh, wait…
htowngtr

new RAZR but only in developer version, screw paying subsidy and losing unlimited
- PSU_DI
  
  but you’re still stuck with slow updates and Blur…
  - http://twitter.com/JSIN1605 Jason Mullens
    
    obviously you don’t understand the benefits of a phone with a unlocked bootloader
    - PSU_DI
      
      But I do, just because the bootloader can be unlocked doesn’t mean that aosp will load properly out of they box. There is still a lot of work that devs need to do. Just look at all the unlocked HTC devices that still can’t run aosp perfectly yet. Plus when you take in account that most of the developer phones won’t have a big following and will be a side community to there consumer devices I just don’t see why people would choose them over the nexus program.
    - Paul
      
      He’s right though. There will be slow updates either way. People won’t be working on the new Razr for compatibility for roms when very few people can flash it. Most of the people that would consider a developer edition are going to get one of the much faster phones coming out.
  - Raven
    
    I actually like the new Blur and would probably not bother to flash anything else for that reason, but I MUST have root access on my phone and therefore I would do what it takes to get root on it.

Only answering Incredible X because a new Nexus wasn’t an option.

ANYTHING unlockable, wink, wink Big Red!

Something Else = New NEXUS!

  im with this guy
- PSU_DI
  
  +1.. If there is not a Nexus that is compatible with Verizon’s network this year, I will hold out as long as possible with my Galaxy Nexus and then drop VZW as my carrier. My next phone will be purchased through the play store, it’s up got VZW if they want to keep being my SERVICE Carrier.
  - Liderc
    
    Exactly. Nexus or nothing.
  - GazaIan
    
    Good, good. You’re making the right choice
  - Nicholas Neveu
    
    I agree 100%
  - Kerry Davies
    
    Right, the play store has the nexus way cheaper than VZW anyways. 659 for all your phones Verizon really
    - c4v3man
      
      Guess they discounted them $7 then…
  - http://twitter.com/mfg68 MFG
    
    Exactly what I’m doing. Verizon better be in that Play Store.
  - BGRUGGER
    
    I agree…however, i cannot part with unlimited 4g! it would break my heart.
  - Ron
    
    I’m done with purchasing phones from VZW or any carrier, Google Now baby, in the real world long term, it just does not make sense. At the price VZW charges for their service, all the phones should be free…
