What Smartphone to Get? ATT

Title says it all. Carrier is AT&T in the US. I've been looking at the Galaxy S3 mainly. Any other options I should consider?

Also wondering how much data to get? I primarily am at home and have wifi here that I will use. Not sure how much data I'll need or want. Any ideas on what to get? I don't plan on streaming videos or downloading anything really outside of my wifi.

I highly recommend the motorola droid maxx hd as Motorola is a great brand and it has 32 hour battery life, it is the thinnest phone out there and has a great processor.

Thanks for the suggestions. iPhone is a no. I've got an iPod touch and could use a change from the same thing. Motorola was too pricey, Not a fan of the Windows OS, S3 is a likely option, and I like the One X.

S3 vs One X.

S3! Used one, they're beautiful phones. I don't think you'll regret buying one. :)

I've used a Xperia S, I was quiet satisfied about it, except the battery and updates.
I don't know much about cell phones so here is a great link where you can compare any phone you want:

I have a S3 and I love my phone, specs wise though they seem on par with the exception s3 gets better battery life and has more ram.

I suggest S3 for the specs and design, I would recommend HTC 8x if you don't mind windows 8.
btw anyone knows how long does S3 battery last at full load?

Ok I'll look at the Nexus 4. S3 looks like my top choice atm.

How much data should I get? Not sure how much I will use...

The MAXX HD is only on Verizon, so that's not an option. The GS3 is nice but already 5 months old. The One X has already been replaced. The Nexus 4 is only available on the Play Store (and T-Mobile) for $350, and it doesn't have LTE.

If you are looking for a new phone, I would recommend either the One X+, or the Note 2.

The One X would be a good bet with the contract renewal (it's $100) but IDK pricing for the S3.

i still say motorola it is a great brand and the phone is simply amazing 32 hour battery life and razer thin HD screen...plus motorola makes really good quality phones (in my opinion)
Yes it costs more ,but it is worth the extra money.
