List of Top best 2011 Android Phones soon be released

Verizon Nexus S pleeeease.

 

Why is there a picture of a Droid 2 under the Bionic heading and why are there pictures of a Nokia phone under the Samsung Stealth one?

 

List is okay but doesn't sound right.

Let's group this by manufacturer:

1. HTC

Thunderbolt
Droid Incredible 2
Inspire
"Saga" - Desire 2
Wildfire S
"Pyramid"
Merge
Shift EVO
"Paradise"

From last year
Desire Z
Desire HD
MyTouch 4G
T-Mobile G2

2. Samsung

Vibrant 4G
Unnamed Verizon LTE phone (Presto?)
Forte ( MetroPCS LTE phone)
Infuse
Galaxy S2
Galaxy SL
Galaxy Ace
Galaxy Suite
Galaxy Gio
Galaxy Mini
unnamed Blackjack like phone for Sprint
T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

From late last year
Nexus S
Giorgio Armani
Galaxy K
Galaxy L

3. Motorola

Atrix
Droid Bionic
Cliq 2
Milestone X (1.2GHz)

From late last year
Droid Pro
Droid 2 Global
Milestone 2

4. LG

Optimus 2X or Optimus Star (in some markets)
Optimus Revolution
Optimus Black
Optimus 3D

From late last year
Optimus One (P500, S, T, V, M, Vortex)

5. Sony Ericsson

Xperia Arc
Xperia Neo
Xperia Play
Vivaz 2

I'm sure there will be more as time goes by. AT&T alone plans 12 Androids. Some phones like HTC Legend and Aria are going to need a replacement within the year.

BTW note Sony Ericsson, Samsung and LG dig double names. Gives them a "Power Ranger" feel.

List still doesn't do justice without new phones from Toshiba, Sharp, Meizu, Lenovo, Huawei, and ZTE flooding the market in Japan and China.

 

Now, leaving aside the many 2011 phones that seem exclusively US-carrier oriented, just how few will actually make to other parts of the world - like Europe?

 

since when did nokia make samsung phones

 

What's with SE and their phones always one generation behind everyone else anyway? Do they hire ppl from Nitendo or smth?

 

This one looks like the DHD lol

 

Definitely:

Nexus S, either in i9020 or i9023 versions. i9023 is the SLCD one with the white back, that is a Vodafone exclusive.

Anything Samsung makes that uses the word "Galaxy" in front of its name like the Galaxy Suite, Mini, Ace, Gio

Samsung Galaxy S2

Samsung Galaxy SL

LG Optimus 2X aka Star,

LG Optimus 3D

HTC "Saga" aka Desire 2

HTC Pyramid

HTC Wildfire S

All the Sony Ericssons, Play, Neo, Arc, Vivaz 2 - their primary markets are always international and Japan, and they don't make phones to cater specifically to a US audience.

And of course, we still have the HTC Desire HD and Desire Z.

The weak one is Motorola, whose products are focused either in the US or China and not much in between. But they got the Milestone 2 (Droid 2) and Milestone X (Droid X). In some markets Milestone X is known as the Motoroi X. Motorola's weakness in Asia other than China, and in Europe is the reason it slipped behind HTC and Samsung.

US HTC Android phones tend to be variations of "generic" international ones. The HTC Desire HD gives forth to the Inspire, the Thunderbolt and the yet announced EVO II.

 

This list needs an update, especially after MWC event this week.
