I am currently a Nokia Lumia 900 owner and have been a huge Windows Phone fan for about 8 months now. There are still some lingering issues I have with WP7, one of them mainly being the notifications system.

I haven't messed with Android in roughly 1 year, right when 2.3 came out. I originally ditched Android because the OS was buggy still, never got updated and the battery life was terrible do to the task management. I was looking to test out the latest and greatest Android handset and see what phone works best for me either Android or Windows Phone.

I want to know what phone should I try...I have some must haves though and some likes:

Must Haves:

  • 4.3" screen or bigger
  • Battery that will last all day on medium usage (7am-11pm).
  • HSPA+ or better
  • Android 4.0 or higher
  • Must work on AT&T
  • Dual core or better
  • Good camera

Likes (not 100% a deal breaker)

  • AMOLD display
  • LTE
  • Quad core
 
I only recommend the flagship device Galaxy Nexus. The Gnex has the best development community ever! I am speaking from owning over 10 different devices:) I'm staying with Google devices.

The thing that worries me about the Nexus is the battery life and the fact that the technology in it is outdated compared to Android standards and I don't want to renew my contract on something that is almost outdated.

You're going to be hard pressed to find an Android phone that will last that amount of hours without at least a bump charge sometime during the day. And there's the question of what you believe to be medium usage. My phone gets used from 8am to Midnight on what I feel is less than medium usage, and I am rooted and running a ROM that's much better on battery life than stock. And I even need a little extra charge some days when my usage is a little heavier.

The good thing with AT&T is that you get 30 days to change your mind on a phone, so you shouldn't be too afraid to get stuck with something you don't like.

the nexus is future proof!
And the battery is great thanks to Franco!
