First off I love your Profile picture. I do not know anything about an htc one mini. The HTC one s is probibly good and my friend likes his xperia sp. Are you able to try the phones out in the store? That is the best way to determine which phone is right for you.

Lol thx , I have tried the xperia S the UI feels like a stock android the stock android even feels better . The One Mini was rumored that it'll be released on august which is a month to go , the One S is cheaper in my country and has slightly lower specs compared to Xperia SP. But I like the Sense UI better

Nexus 4 is kinda bit pricey here in my country it's around $500 and Galaxy Nexus is not available in my country

The HTC One S will not get the 4.2.2 update. So that means no Blink Feed, Zoe's or anything like that

Not more than $500

 

I want HD capable phone not neccecarily need AMOLED screen , Yes I do need fast CPU and at a minimum of 1Gb of ram to run games smoothly. Long life battery is optional for me. Camera doesn't really bothers me too much since I do less picture taking. For support it depends since I didn't live in the US.

What about a Galaxy SIII?

I've seen a lot of incredible deals on it lately, as people want rid of it to upgrade to the SIV.

It's still a powerful device, and it sounds like it would be a perfect fit for what you need. :)

I don't really like the design and I don't find the features of the S3 to be useful , but the price is kinda close to the Xperia SP so I'll might put the S3 on my list

Yeah, I can understand that. I'm not a fan of the design either - I actually preferred the Galaxy S2.

But still... it does have a nice screen, and it's probably more powerful than any of the other phones you'll find at that price point. (Quad-core 1.4GHz CPU + 2GB RAM)

EDIT: Actually, apparently the version in America only comes with a dual-core Snapdragon and 2GB RAM. Oh well. :)

I thought it only has 1GB of ram? I'll think about getting the S3 though thanks for recommending :)

Apparently some models do, but some others have 2GB.

 

And no problem. Good luck with whichever phone you decide on. ;)

International S3 -> Quad Core + 1GB RAM

American S3 -> Dual Core + 2GB RAM

 

Personally I would just buy a note 2. The battery life is insane, and you get a quad core + 2GB RAM.

Additionally, it's AMOLED screen is not pentile.

I need more SSDs.

Nah , Im not a big fan of huge screens. I more prefer 4.3" to 4.7" screen to be ideal

If you think One S, forget it and get One X unless it's over 500$. Or wait One Mini since the specs are good (especially compared to S4 mini)
