I am going to be upgrading to a smartphone on AT&T. I am torn between the Moto X, the HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4, and the Samsung Galaxy S3. I am also thinking of buying a Google Nexus 4 on ebay.<p>I have an app in mind that would make heavy use of the accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and possibly the barometer. Are any of these phones known for having great sensors? What does HN recommend?
I would recommend a nexus device. If you are really into sensors like temperature, humidity go for galaxy S4 otherwise don't. Nexus 5 is coming soon,to wait few more days to buy a nexus
If you're price sensitive, get a Nexus 4. They're clearing stock at the moment, so it's probably $100 or $200 cheaper than it would otherwise be. You'll probably find that the ones on the Google Play store are cheaper than the ones on eBay.<p>If you can wait a bit and are not particularly price sensitive, get the Nexus 5 when it comes out in early November.
