Android phone's are great, they're powerful and developer friendly, but it seems like every phone manufacturer is dumping a Android phone on the market. It's pretty hard for a consumer to go and search for the best one, especially since there are constantly new phones coming out. That is why I've decided to handpick a few Android phones from different price ranges, and hopefully help out readers that are out to buy a new phone.
Low-End Android Phones:
ZTE Blade
Price: 99£/117€
ZTE Blade, also known as the Orange San Francisco is a popular cheap Smartphone in Europe. Released late last year, ZTE Blade features a 480x800 multitouch display, 512 mb RAM and runs on the Android 2.1 Operating System.
This phone suffers from low battery life and a small, 150 MB on-board memory card. However, there is a micro SD slot, which supports up to 32 GB memory cards.
A5000
Price: 138,80 $
From: DealExtreme
A5000 is a solid low-end smartphone from China with a Dual SIM card feature. A5000 is a relatively cheap phone, but it's not the most powerful one, as it only has a 416 Mhz processor and a 240x320 resolution Display, which is pretty weak for today's smart phones.
High-end Android Phones:
Samsung Galaxy S 2
Price: 199 $ /w a contract / 499£
Samsung's flagship phone Galaxy S 2 definitely makes the list. This phone is powerful, featuring 1,2 Ghz processor, front and a rear camera, 800x480 resolution display and 16 GB Flash memory. Galaxy S 2 runs on the Android 2.3 Gingerbread Operating System. Downside is that it could use better build quality.
HTC Droid Incredible 2
Price: 80 $ /w a contract
HTC has been making quality Android phones for a while now, but right now their hottest phone is the HTC Droid Incredible 2. Spec wise it's almost as powerful as the Galaxy 2, with a 1 Ghz processor, 800x480 resolution display, 16 GB Flash memory and both a front, and a rear camera. However, it does not support 1080p video capture and it's using the inferior Android 2.2 Operating System, Froyo.
