Here’s 4 Android smartphones that you can buy right now that are every bit as good (and in some ways better) than the Google Nexus 4.

The HTC Droid DNA “offers the clearest image with the best tone for each of the individual colors” while Google’s Nexus 4 (made by LG) “looks washed out.”

UBS forecasts that Samsung will sell 61.5 million smartphones in Q4 – largely in part thanks to the success of large format smartphones, including the Galaxy Note II (5.5-inches) and Galaxy S III (4.8-inches).

Samsung Galaxy S III features include a 4.8″ HD Super AMOLED Display, 1.5 Ghz Dual-Core Processor, 2GB Ram, S-Voice (Samsung’s answer to Apple’s Siri), Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich (an upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is expected soon) and an 8MP Camera.

If you’ve been holding out for the right Android deal to come along then a $99 Samsung Galaxy S III looks to be the sweetest one out there right now.

A Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz dual-core processor will power the upcoming Motorola RAZR M. But there are disappointments. There’s likely no Jelly Bean here and the display resolution is rumored to be only qHD.

Apps are no longer a differentiator for Apple iOS. Every single one that I want — Flipboard, Instagram, Waze, etc. — has an Android version available today in the Google Play Store.

If there were any Apple buyers on the fence, they likely already made the jump to Android via the Samsung Galaxy S III, a beast of an Android that came out earlier this summer on all the major carriers.

Samsung has revealed its latest Andrdoid smartphone, the Galaxy S Duos. It carries an unusual, but compelling new feature.

I get asked this a lot lately: should I pull the trigger on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, or wait for the Motorola Razr HD, or 2012 Nexus? Here’s one guy’s take.
