^ and most of the Android phones too (all the Samsung Galaxy phones (except S4), Sony and HTC phones has it)

If you like Android, then wait till Google IO next month, they probably announce/release a new Version of Android (Android 5.0, Key Lime Pie?) and a Nexus device then (am waiting for a new Nexus or 32GB Nexus 4, 16GB isn’t enough anymore).

I agree with the storage. 16 GB isnt enough. Thats one of the reasons why I had to sell my nexus 4, along with the screen having issues only after a month…where my screen was clicking things by itself…

I don’t have it in my Note 1 as I thought that the carriers have it disabled? Are you sure it is not the international phones? Windoz phone has it because Microsoft made it a requirement to have it so but android is very dependent upon the phone manufacturer and the deal that they have to compete for with other companies for the wireless companies offerings. The only reason that I see that there isn’t an FM player is for the wireless companies to make money on data streaming.

I dont know about the US version, but the international version has FM Radio, may be your carrier removed it. Technically almost all the smartphones released in the last 2-3 years has the FM radio hardware built in (it comes has single package with wireless and Bluetooth module), its up to the manufacture and the carrier to enable it.

There is 64GB version of HTC One, and you can use a 64GB SDXC card, so you will have 64+32 = 96GB and we will have 128 GB SCXD card soon

Jelly Bean is the dessert all the Android users eat everyday if you upgrade to Android 4.1 or 4.2, if you are still on 4.0 you should eat Ice Cream Sandwich, if you have 3.0 - Honeycomb, 2.3- Gingerbread, 2.2 - Froyo, 2.1 - Eclair, 1.6 - Donut, 1.5 - Cup Cake etc.,

Re: Which Smartphone is best to buy?

I’ll use this thread for my Q

Should i buy Nexus 4 or wait till May 15 Google I/O?
(My Current provider doesnt have LTE)

[us1415]

Re: Which Smartphone is best to buy?

I would wait…I have heard about Nexus 4S…

[Rayan]

Re: Which Smartphone is best to buy?

If 16GB is fine with you, get the Nexus 4 now itself, as the upgraded version will the same one with 32GB and most probably LTE. But i am waiting for it, i need more than 16 GB. If Google doesn’t release a 32GB Nexus, i will go with HTC One or Xperia Z (Sony released a ASOP ROM for Xperia Z recently, so its as good as a Nexus Phone).

Re: Which Smartphone is best to buy?
