Whether you've got a Galaxy Nexus handset that you purchased directly from Google or one that you bought from AT&T, T-Mobile, or Sprint, you've likely been enjoying Android 4.2 for a while now—most of these phones got their first Android 4.2 update back in November when it was originally released. Even the Sprint versions got their update back in January.

I can do better than recommending one Android-powered alternative. Here are five alternatives, all more than capable of handling a busy work and home life.

Samsung Galaxy S III

Without a doubt the flagship Android handset -- no matter what Galaxy Nexus owners say. With its 4.8-inch HD screen, the Galaxy S III is a real handful. It's great for viewing video and photos, but due to its small size, it may not be the sort of handset that's at home in tight jeans or small bags.

Android 4.1 jelly bean based custom rom now available for most of the android devices. Samsung galaxy S2 I9100 device user now can install latest version CM10 on their handset. This installation start from the rooted stock ROM and need cwm recovery.
