Android

I have an idea for an app. The emulator is certainly good, but the real device is still better. Nokia does not release phones under android, so I would buy a Nokia. In the blog about androyd, I saw a lot of negative reviews about samsung. Advise manufacturer and model/models.

At one time, I stopped paying special attention to negative reviews:
- firstly, satisfied users are in no hurry to share their joy
- most of the negative reviews are about nothing (this is my IMHO)
- Thirdly, you will be surprised, but where I did not find Samsung chips, up to the home router board , and matrices to my laptop (not Samsung) or to the latest Nokia models on AMOLED.
In terms of updates, Google's Nexus S is probably better (maybe Google will release the 4th Android on it).
Ideally, you will need several phones from different price ranges and from different manufacturers.
Since there was a topic about Android fragmentation, and there many gave examples of the features of specific models.

Take a mainstream device from HTC.

My IMHO. In the expensive segment, HTC rules, but from the cheap ones, I choose Samsung.

I use Huawei IDEOS X5 - it's inexpensive (I bought it in a regular retail store in Yekaterinburg for 8800), it's quite productive, the screen is 800 × 480 - now phones rarely have more, but maybe not for long.

Determine the target audience of the application, then look at popular phones for sale for the target audience (business, for blondes, etc.) and buy one of them.

Take any with a resolution of at least 320x480. Do not listen to complaints, they are mostly subjective.

I write quite a bit with the app developers I use and have noticed a trend. This is either something HTC (Desire, Desire HD), or Acer.
I myself call using DHD - a convenient and nimble thing.

Statistics from the market (for a light app):
1. LG Optimus One — 10.1%
2. Samsung Galaxy Ace — 8.4%
3. Samsung Galaxy S2 — 8.4%
4. HTC Desire — 7.8%
5 HTC Desire S - 6.2%
6. HTC Sensation 4G - 4.5%
7. HTC Wildfire S - 4.5%
8. HTC Desire HD - 4.2%
9. SEMC Xperia X8 - 3.2%
10 .Samsung Galaxy S - 3.2%
At the Desire HD itself, quite convenient to use and develop. During development, there were compatibility issues with Samsung Galaxy S (Other default settings for WebView-type components).

Nexus S, updates should be all right. Or Nexus Prime when it comes out.

I join int03e, if they are too expensive, you can look at Nexus One (only it's better to wait for announcements to understand whether version 4 will be on it or not). Nexuses always have the newest and cleanest (without any add-ons) OS.

Write at least a budget for the phone ...
At the very HTC sensation

Nexus S, as an exemplary Android device without changes in software.

Not too long ago, this question was also asked. After long discussions, we settled on HTC Wildfire S. 480 × 320 is the most popular resolution among ordinary people, and HTC is one of the most modified phones compared to a simple android (as I already wrote in the comments, you can see a bare stock android on the emulator, but the glitches of vendor firmware are always unique). Well, phones with a resolution of 800 × 480 can always be found at half a dozen familiar IT people.
