There is a thread for this, but anyway the best phone i can recommend you to buy is the galaxy nexus due to the infinite support. optimus G or the nitro hd are also good options. do not buy the new htc's since they are being replaced every 1 month. Xperia products like the xperia t seem to be very good devices if you can get them but once again best phone for cm 10 is the galaxy nexus

Thanks, Nexus it is
So my Desire X is dead now.
Looking to buy a new phone.
I'm struggling between:
Moto G(8GB)-found it at 130$
Lg l90 dual- around 180$
Xiaomi Redmi 1s- 160$
Few advices.
Which one would you choose.

Well the specs are all kinda similar.
I don't find anything great about LG L90, compared to these two it dosen't even have an HD screen.
Xiaomi makes some great devices, and i like MIUI they are shipping with. Also i think Xiaomi has a better front and rear cameras.
Moto G has a solid dev support. The 4G version got an official CM11. Not so sure about Xiaomi.
Did you consider Nexus 4 ?
Moto G is defintely the best of all. My brother got it and it's a great phone also as said by nightwalkerkg it has a solid dev support (3G variant) that you will be able to have a lot of future android updates.
xpirt
I did find Nexus 4 at around the same price like Moto G so most probably i'll go with that.Aside for a slitghtly better screen and battery nexus 4 wins it.
But for the most part yes:Moto G or Nexus 4 cuz they will have a long like on xda.

I'd go with the nexus 4. But the choice is yours.
As per subject, I'd like to upgrade for a quicker tablet than my n7 2012 for use with my bike turbo trainer...... but does the n9 have native ANT+ support?
Thanks in advance....
The info I gave on the Nexus Help Forum Google Group about the Nexus 6 applies to the Nexus 9 too:
There's 2 parts to this question:
1. Will Android 5.0 include the ANT+ API's?
If it does, then the Nexus 6 9 will definitely include the ANT+ hardware - as the Nexus devices showcase any new OS functionality. We haven't heard any news about this though, so I doubt it.
2. Will the Nexus 6 9 have ANT+ hardware?
If this is the case, then it should be possible to add the software piece in a custom ROM/AOSP build, just like was done for the Moto G 4G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/ant-moto-g-4g-maybe-t2875420
or possibly using the ANT+ Enabler app (if you want to pay for it) in the same way as the Nexus 5 and 10: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.z2software.antplus
Fingers crossed.

Looking at the iFixit Nexus 9 teardown, yes it does have ANT+ hardware (the Broadcom BCM4354)!
Note that the patch for the Moto G 4G mentioned above will not work, as that is for a Qualcomm chip.
I'm currently using the Zenfone 2 (4GB RAM) and I will soon getting a Redmi Note 3 PRO (Snapdragon). I'm new to the xiaomi's ecosystem, I'm so confused here. Their stable ROM have version number of v7.** but their beta versions are v6.**. This is so confusing, I'd assume that they have two totally unrelated version numbering (ie betas have betas numbering and stables have stables numbering). Am I right?
But the main question is that now Asus had announced that the Zenfone 2 will get Android M in Q2 2016, and the users are complaining that Q2 is VERY LATE. But now I checked the Internet for Xiaomi's plan on Android M, I can only find that they are planning to upgrade the XIAOMI line of devices (ie Mi4 Mi5 MiNote etc) and nothing have been told about REDMI line of devices (ie Redmi3 RedmiNote3). If the RMN3P is not getting Android M, I consider my switch from Zenfone 2 a downgrade despite the RMN3 have better specs and one year newer. What are your thoughts on this about "Will RMN3P get Android M" ? Will we be upgraded?
And moreover the RMN3 community doesn't seem like they care about Android M. Only one thread that is related to Android M on MIUI forum and that's a poll asking if they want it or not (and some users don't want it). Maybe to some, it's pointless to upgrade to Android M but for me, the main reason I want Android M is the native fingerprint API so that apps like Lastpass can integrate and use the fingerprint sensor present on the RMN3 (we can only use it for unlocking device only currently).
Why you replace your phone?

we prefer android M but it really doesn't matter because in miui you have more feature than the pure android or touchwiz etc
it's like new os between android and ios with monthly update

I understand. But I found out that redmi devices never gets upgrade other than weekly updates. Redmi devices stays on whatever version it came with. With this case on the note 3 pro it's 5.1 forever

better look for other device.
Xiaomi sad "with the start of the Mi5 in India we will bring 6.0 to Redmi Note 3 Pro, like the Mi5"
You got Stable and Dev Rom. With the Dev Rom you get every friday a update.
Look the Mi2, when it's rls and look which version of Android you will get today (I think almost 4 years later).

Hopefully they will really bring 6.0 to Redmi Note 3 Pro unlike other Redmi devices that never get any Android updates at all.
And I thought the global ROM there's no dev ROM now? For the global rom we only have stable one

you are upgrading not downgrading..trust me...
i used ZF2 now using RN3 Pro 3gb.. only camera is downside on low light...but i trust Xiaomi..they are usually great with camera
also..if u just want to use app locks?? then dont wry they released 7.2.2 for some users and it is having app lock with FPS feature...and mi4i,mi3,mi4 are already upgraded from their initial android version[not miui version]
so yeah they can update android version ..
and also they release RN3 pro kernel yesterday which means custom roms can be more stable and most feature can be implemented ...
just relax and enjoy RN3

Ahhhh I remember you from the ZF2 subforum. I know for sure hardware side it is an upgrade. From the software side I'm not sure because I didn't use Xiaomi devices before. But from opinions of a few users above including you, I think RMN2P software will not be worse than the ZF2. It'd just that maybe RMN2P will get Android M later than the ZF2 since xiaomi still didn't release plan to upgrade it.
And I don't care about applock, but what I meant in OP is that the lastpass app itself do support firstprint but previously it doesn't work with xiaomi's fingerprint sensor because xiaomi didn't release API to the developers. But recently it worked, so it's okay now.

As the kernel source is released yesterday..we can get custom roms with in a month...as the cm12.1 already available in alpha stage developed by Santhosh MM....as u can see in that thread he said its time for cm13....as i saw his development for many devices he even made roma for my previous device yureka he is fast in developing roms...we can get stable cm13 for rn3 with in a month for sure..
I also sold my Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) and purchased Redmi Note 3 (snapdragon with 3gb/32gb). This mobile is far way better in RAM management and battery backup when compared to my zenny. Camera is awesome in zenny, but for a price of 12,000 INR we should not expect much.

if you want regular android updates go for moto g4 !!!! becoz redmi devices don't get android version update but only miui ver updates ! But I am gonna buy this and flash mokee 6.0.1 official !!! mokee rocks !!!
Xiaomi will get Android 6 Marshmallow and it is said by Xiaomi since the MIUI Forums said that MIUI 8 (Android 6) will be released in 17 of June.
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I would ofcourse like android 6, but if you are on miui does it really make a big difference? Ofcourse you will miss a few new android features if it doesn't upgrade to M, however, atleast there are other regular updates and system security patches right?
On my samsung tab4 i received just one firmware update and i think after that any official development was discontinued.
Hello to all. i have a few questions because i want to buy a new phone for 200$ or less.
i see a few phones (if you know other please tell me). OnePlus X, Alcatel One Touch idol 3, Huawei 5X, Huawei P8 Lite (kirin or snapdragon), blu one life x 2016. but i can't decide.

I don't know about Alcatel and Huawei P8, but 5x is good. If you don't care about stock android, you can go for 5x or Mi note3, otherwise moto g4 plus will be good option. It is already on marshmallow and motorola has been good with updates. Don't go for oneplus x, too many broken promises from OEM.

I thought It would be available everywhere as it is launched and already available here in India. See if they have any future release date set in your country.
