[android-developers] Re: What is the best phone to buy for Android Development?

Hi,

I'd suggest using the latest Google Android device, currently that is the (Samsung) Galaxy Nexus, but rumors suggest it is to be updated very soon (?)

Main reason is that the Google phones allow you to see your own debug message on the console pretty easily, where as most other phones have so such junk debug messages on the console, that they swamp your own debug messages making it difficult to test & debug your own apps. You can filter debug messages but the console fills quickly (in Eclipse) anyway & then has to be reset.

If you can live without relying on debug messages through Eclipse then any good & recent phone will likely do, eg Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC One X, etc.

The Google phones get OS updates before other phones as well.

Regards

I am new to Android Development and would like to know which phone I should get to test my apps? Obviously, I would like the phone for which drivers for all devices are easily available and for which I would find the most amount of support discussions online - for when I run into problems.
