Searching for a high-end dual-core Android phone

Had HTC handsets in the past and so far the issue/s i got where with the calling part (the person i was talking to says they couldn't hear me clearly even though i was shouting and i'm on a good signal area) and a so-so battery life.

The Galaxy S3 would be the best phone of choice at the moment but it is out of my budget. Next is the Galaxy Nexus but i don't like the 5MP-only camera. Next would be the S2 but it has a poor audio quality.

I'm kinda liking the Huawei Ascend P1 and the ZTE Grand X phones but it seems to suffer criticisms especially the camera and battery life.

HTC One X is beyond my budget. The One S might be within my budget but i'm hesitant because of it's non-replaceable battery. The Sensation XL might be a fair choice but specs are very similar with the normal Sensation and heard of general problems with the OS, screen and camera. (I could be wrong now).

I don't fancy Motorola as they tend to have the updates very late. Sony might be a wise choice but again i'm very cautious as the sound quality seem to be not equal to the market standard that is Dolby Mobile. Maybe they have improved their audio/music equalizer settings. I dunno.

Another good choice might be the LG Optimus 4X GD which is a quad-core phone but (like in past handsets) it has been plagued by a so-so/average but quite capable (i heard) camera and a poor battery life although it is replaceable so i can live with that.

What say you guys?

this would probably have been more helpful as your opening post

Looks like another one of Gino's wild goose chases.
Galaxy S2?

So, what would be my closest choice so far?

Have some reservations with the HTC Evo 3D. Only a 5Mp camera, a older Snapdragon CPU and a price tag of more than £400 brand new.

Like i said the poor audio quality (i.e. audio chip worse than the original Galaxy S) of the S2 akes in not on my top choices.

Heard that LG didn't LG-fied much on its Optimus 4X HD. And besides one can download an app to make it look like say an HTC or a Galaxy nexus phone isn't it? heard of very poor/slow and constant re-focusing on the camera but overall i read its pretty "more than average". With the battery issue i can always replace it with an extended one.

Hmmmm.......

why would you buy an Evo 3D?
I have one, but I have had it for over 8 months
I paid about £220 then

Well, i have my choices now. And i just heard that the Acer Cloudmobile has just been released.

So, that's Acer CM, LG Optimus 4X HD, Huawei Ascend P1, HTC One S? Anything else?
