Closest device to X2 - Motorola Droid X2

I was wondering if anyone knew the closest HTC Sense device to our X2's. I am working on some stuff and couldn't really find a side by side comparison. Thanks

If your talking about Verizon devices, there are none.
No other Verizon phone has the tegra 2, right now.
In terms of form factor, the Thunderbolt and Droid Charge both have the same size screen. The Thunderbolt has HTC sense on it.
If you can hang on a while, there will be more dual core phones coming later this year.

I just meant in the complete HTC lineup whether it be Verizon or not. Dual core, same size screen, froyo, and sense

Closest is probably HTC Sensation for T-Mobile. I believe that is the only dual core phone that HTC has come out with.

Closest HTC for Verizon would be the Incredible 2. should be a 4" screen, 2nd gen snapdragon 1ghz.

I love my DNA but in your situation, I'd take the One without hesitation. Although our support is good (to me) the One will get wayyyy more support due to the widespread release and availability. Personally, I'd do it just for those two b*tchin-azz speakers
I have the Droid DNA and played with the One side by side at the announcement a couple weeks ago. The One has alittle more weight to it. The design of the phone is incredible though. The dual front speakers, etc. And you know they will support the One and delay on the other devices as usual. If you trying to get on VZW though I dont think its coming for them. Right now Tmob, Sprint and ATT.
Its the same phone. Depends on what you like to look at.
After the htc one honeymoon period its just a DNA with metal body.
This goes with every new phone coming out this year.

If you're referring to the new HTC One, if i'm not mistaken about its name, then it would probably be the better choice to pick that because it's 'slightly' better. Not to mention global and will probably give you a little more support.
Although if you had to pay more or wait / do anything special for it. DNA would be my choice, they're both so great that it doesn't really make a difference anymore. Storage could be an issue with some people, but not in my case.
There is only ONE answer

Go for the HTC One, it will get more ROM support for a longer time, has improved in every aspect over the DNA, and is HTC's only flagship for 2013, or so they say. The DNA may not go beyond sense 5, while the One will surely go beyond

Diference is the Camera and more Storage and more battery (with custom Kernel and Roms you can get better battery )... I prefer the DNA because is Bigger is nice feels great
i live in mexico and i dont need to be with a carrier and i will wait tile 2014 and see what can me offer the HTC DROID DNA is more than enough for the moment thats my opinion
SAME THING WITH METAL BODY... im fine with 8MP camera ... that takes 1080p Videos

The HTC ONE is a better phone in almost all aspects, aside from a .3 inch smaller screen (which is preference anyways). I don't see a reason to get the DNA over the ONE unless you needed Verizon's network or got a DNA for cheap.

ok guys i make up my mind....i will get another dna because i love the black and red combination.....one is the new flagship but i can get dna without paying anything because i sold my dna with broken digitizer for 500usd....also i live in Greece...europe..so verizon it;s not a deal for me....i like silver htc one but is too expensive for me at the moment...having one x+ right now....today i am gonna post my dna...tried sense 5 and i liked it.....thanks for your help...i know that one is a better device but not too far of course...my dna is running smooth...is not laggy or something...like my sensation xe...so...a new dna would be the best choise for me at the moment.....in the future maybe get that "one" but want to have a hands on first....release date for Greece is around the end of April..so right now i will enjoy DNA!

Phones comparable to DROID x2

I was wondering what phones are comparable to ours spec wise? I am going to see about getting one like DROID x2 but with an unlocked bootloader until I save up for a g note 3. Also which of these phones have a very active community? My nook color runs faster than this phone even though it has a larger screen, 1 core and 8mhz base clock because of the amazing community.

How about HTC EVO 3D or Samsung GNex?

IF you could swap for any phone except the Gs4 what would you choose?

So... I have the DNA and im getting the dreaded Sim card error even after the update.... Verizon has offered to replace the phone with any other device besides the GS4, because there is no stock of the Gs4 yet.
What would you choose and why....
Im thinking I just just get the GS3, because its S-OFF and i can run cyanogen Mod 10.1 easily....
But I havent used a motorola in a long time, and Maybe it would be fun to have a Razr HD MAXX, for insane battery life. that could be fun...
Any suggestions?

IMO going to the S3 would be a step backwards. I would either wait for S4 to come in stock, or get a Note II. Without having S-OFF on my DNA I would much prefer the Note II, and overall actually even with S-OFF I would still probably prefer the Note II.
Any idea how long it takes for warranty replacement stocks to build up? A month? If so, ill just wait and snag the Gs4...
If not, i agree the Note 2 is probably my best bet. A friend had one and I actually kind of enjoyed using it the other day. Its big, yea, and its screen is only 720p... but could i really tell? NO....
I cleaned the contacts on my sim, and reinserted it.. I hope to stay with the DNA, but if this is giving me hell consistently sounds like i should go Note 2.
anyone else have an opinion
HTC one thats about the only phone on this level s4 isn't as speedy.

Once you have tasted the DNA Screen & Speed, you will disappointed with the GS3, I got the GS3 and Yes you will really tell 720p resolution Cartoonist noticeable same goes to the Note II. HTC One or SG4 JB 4.2.2 ROM you will fly with 1.7 - 1.9 GHz Quad Core
honestly, i wouldnt trade this phone for the One or any samsung. i love how thin and sexy this phone is. has more than enough speed. and i love sense 5. stick with the DNA
The S4 is smooth. I've used it. Nature UX, while filled with bloat is more appealing to the eye than Sense.
Both machines will not have a noticeable performance difference. Scores don't mean diddly, reviews don't mean crap either. Drop by a store, spend 30 minutes with one, and see for yourself.
If I HAD to trade and couldn't have a S4, the two ONLY two phones I would get are a Note II and a Nexus 4.
I have used both in person and s 4 was faster imo.

1999. Startac VIP Series, PCS digital phone, bought and used in Korea, brought it back home to U.S. and couldnt even get it turned on because the networks were still analog.. That was a truly great phone. One of the best flip phones ever built, Period. But the DNA is still the best phone out.

Possible DNA2 specs revealed

http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/19/htc-butterfly-s-revealed/
It'll arrive boasting a familiar-sounding 5-inch 1080p display, front-facing BoomSound stereo speakers and Sense 5 as expected. When it comes to internals, the Butterfly s runs Android Jelly Bean on a quad-core 1.9GHz Snapdragon 600 (faster than the HTC One), an impressive 3,200mAh battery, quad-band HSPA/WCDMA radio, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in storage, expandable once again through microSD. As for imaging, alongside that primary UltraPixel camera and Zoe software features, there's a 2.1-megapixel wide-angle shooter on the front.

Some people have already backed me up but just because I like to defend myself if you'll notice I said possible. As mentioned the Butterfly is the International version of the DNA. Thus one can speculate that the DNA 2 would be a Butterfly Variant. Just because no N.A. carrier has opted to yet doesn't mean that they wont. If Big Red is gonna carry it you know they'll wanna brand it their way and to their specifications. Just thought I'd bring some news to the masses.
Well Verizon started to hype up a new DROID yesterday and today a new butterfly was announced. There could be a DNA2 around the corner. http://www.androidcentral.com/verizon-it-again-reveals-new-game-part-new-droid-campaign

Thanks for starting a topic with a promising news. I hope Verizon won't cut "the balls" of it's new droid IF Butterfly S is a prototype for there new flagship device. Droid DNA is the best phone for me at the moment. And Butterfly S is even better. I like the screen size and huge battery capacity.

It does seem contrary to VZW's historic ways to release 2 devices so similar so close together.
However, VZW tweeted about 2 weeks ago that they WOULD be getting the HTC One.
This week VZW tweeted that there is a new Droid coming. They certainly could be referring to the same device. But the DROID DNA is very similar to the Butterfly, so the fact that there is a new Butterfly coming certainly adds a different element to the discussion. Also, the Droid title has historically been applied to a phone NOT in general circulation on other networks in the U.S.
I too haven't seen any direct confirmation that there is a DNA2 / Butterfly 2 coming to the VZW. But I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 new HTC devices launch on VZW, perhaps with a 60 or 90 day difference in the launches. The fact that there have been numerous sales on the DNA certainly leads to the conclusion that the DNA is on the way out ...

Agreed.You also have to think that perhaps they think they can cater the DNA 2 as the big brother to the One. I'm personally thinking along the lines of Motorola with the Razr and Razr Maxx deal. Personally unless you're just going for aesthetics (which apple has proven people will) I see no reason why you'd pick the One overthe Butterfly S. So it may very well not come to the US at all but if it does Samsung had better watch out because HTC is dropping some bombs on the front lines with these new devices.
I agree that they *could* release both like the Razr HD/HD Maxx. But they should just release one. While this is the superior device, if this was released as the Droid One or something you would have people moaning that they said it was going to be the HTC One and expect the device that is out now. They should have kept quiet and released this as the Droid ONE in the fall.
Seriously looks like it could be the DNA 2. With VW hyping up another Droid and is selling out the DNA, I wouldn't be surprised.

No DNA 2 :(

Verizon just said that the droid devices will be Motorola exlusive now.. so I'm guessing no droid DNA 2

So does that just mean that it isn't going to have the "DROID" branding? I assume that HTC and Samsung wouldn't be very happy if Verizon was going to ditch all other android devices.
So you could have a DNA2, just not a "DROID" DNA2. Right?

I still have hope for a US Butterfly S. HTC would be an idiot of a company not to release it to a US market. The question is, will it come to Verizon? The DNA wasn't much of a success on Verizon (but the J Butterfly was over in Japan was), so they might aim for a GSM carrier. OR it may come to sprint as the HTC Evo Butterfly.
Also, I kind of understand Verizon's decision to make the Droid line Motorola-only. The non-Moto Droids have never done well. Read: Droid Charge, and (dare I say it) DNA. The Moto Droids have almost always been top-selling devices. Like the original Droid and its sequels, The RAZR line, specifically the original Droid RAZR Maxx, and the Mini/Maxx/Ultra will likely follow that path.
BTW: I'm stuck with my DNA (and i'm perfectly fine with that) for the next year and a half, so absolutely none of this will affect me until my contract ends in Jan 2015. I personally couldn't care less what happens with the whole Butterfly S/DNA 2 situation, but I understand some of you like to replace your device more frequently (which is perfectly fine) so I'm just adding my $0.02 to anyone who may be interested.

Who cares, the new phones don't have much wow factor to make me think the DNA is missing something or is being left behind. And looking at the development, the DNA has a good number of roms and kernels so I don't feel like it is under developed.
The DNA will be running strong for at least three years.
What I don't understand is... We have a 5 Inch, 1080P, Quad Core Android cell phone.. Nobody seems to care? We do!! But it's always about the HTC One, whatever Motorola is coming out with.. and Nokia Windows 8 phones..the next Nexus.. What is Samsung doing?? We have an absolute monster phone that I love yet there was almost ZERO hype behind it.. launched, then .. "Hey, I'm still here, I'm free now" .... Unless I missed something in my zombie like state of mind lately.. People ask what phone I have, then I tell them.. and I hear crickets.. People have no idea about this beast!!
See if people are wowed when you tell them you have the new Droid Ultra with a whopping 5 inch screen, powerful 1.7 dual core processor, and an unprecedented 2 gb ram plus the usually lousy Moto camera.

Completely agree with you. I firmly believe that the Droid DNA/J Butterfly/DLX is the second most innovative device of the modern mobile technology world. Second only to the Ubuntu Edge. I think the mistake was making this beast a Verizon exclusive. If they had endorsed the DNA the way they did with the One, or how Samsung has done since the Galaxy S2, they could easily blow the SGS4 and Xperia Z out of the water. Don't get me wrong, the One, S4 and XPZ are all great devices, but the DNA could easily rank right up there with them if HTC had really tried. And that's not even mentioning the Butterfly S. Bringing it to the states and endorsing it on all major carriers could set HTC for eternity. It takes the overall greatness of our DNAs and gives it all the things we love about the One (like boomsound). It's pretty much the ultimate smartphone IMO. HTC needs to play smart in the future, or they'll crash and burn. Hopefully the One's success will teach them this.

The butterfly s is the only new phone I'm really looking foward too. I would pick the DNA over any other phone except it. It really solves all of our issues we had with the DNA . The battery is insane now, finally have more storage, and even though our speaker is amazing on the DNA, who wouldn't want boomsound?

And like you said sd card slot, I hope Verizon or htc doesnt screw this up . If it doesnt launch on Verizon I'm probably looking at the HTC one or droid maxx
