[Q] What will be your next phone?

Hello fellow SGS owners, I love my phone but I also get bored easily.
So which phone will you be getting next?
I'm thinking either
Xperia play - Hardly an upgrade but will make playing games a lot more fun especially old snes/gba games like mario/racing etc which really need a gamepad
Galaxy s2 - This is a good phone the next 1 has got to be good also right?
Evo 3d - Super specs but not even official in uk.
I also have another motive, a 20% discount card for o2 (shop in uk) which means I will be able to pick up a play for about £350 - The card is only valid till the end of the month so I'm guessing there is no chance of getting the evo but maybe just maybe the S2 will be released in time
So what would you do? or is there something else you are after?

Galaxy s2, but more than happy with sgs 1 at minute, for emulators I use a zeemote anyway so not bothered about xperia play.

Galaxy S II.

I think my next choice would be tegra 2 based. Just because of the support nvidia can get.
Which makes me disappointed that the galaxy s 2 may not be tegra 2 depending on the region. Also I personally prefer 4 inch screens.
The atrix has a higher screen resolution meaning that it gets less fps in games. And its pentile LCD which isn't the best. Amoled pentile is great as we all know. But non amoled pentile is known for its screen door effect.
Which leaves the LG optimus x2. Great ips LCD, not quite amoled, but good. And tegra 2. Perfect size screen.
LG optimus x2 for me.

Although doesn't the optimus 3D use the sgx 540, same gpu that's in the sgs, but overclocked and it kicks the tegra 2's ass if I remember rightly.
Good old sgs hardware

Tmobile G2x(optimus 2x in other region) because of the almost vanilla android experience, it is tegra, cyanogen will be supporting it. and its simple and affordable. No more no less and easy to hack? Haha lol
My other options is optimus 3d cause of omap4 and SG2 only just because of its looks.

Think I will be sticking with my Sx2 for a good while yet.

I'm waiting until the sgs3 to switch. Dual core is only three times performance of single while quad is fifteen times single core. I buy unlocked so I might as well keep what I have for a while and then get the absolute most for my money when I do upgrade.

EVO 3D or SGS II

SGS 2!!!!! Galaxy Series Rocks!!

Even though I swore I would never get another Samsung phone after the i8910, I now have the Galaxy S & next will be the S2.

Sgs2

If you really need / want a new phone then wait for SGS II but i would advise you to save your money and don't waste it on mobiles.

i heared rumors of the streak 2 could be my next one dell seams to leave the bootloader open don't they?
perhaps i'll go with the evo 3d i am into that whole 3d stuff but if a nexus s 2 or a nexus2 is on the horizon that would with the right specs be my choice above all

The Galaxy S II

Lol not a lot of love for the Play then.
That is pretty much my thoughts but I think I needed you guys to convince me not to go for the Play now.
Here is a question though, if I get to the end of the month and no other phones have been released should I buy a xperia play for £350? do you think I'll be able to sell it on a few month on for about that amount?

By the time my contract runs out my next phone will be quad core

maybe the Galaxy S3 when it gets released next year or if there is something better, then that, currently i have no reason to switch, the performance is great of the SGS, we have the latest Android, maybe we get the next one also and if not then we have maybe a really stable CM7 or CM8, for me it needs more then just dualcore to get me on a new phone.

Galaxy S 2 for sure. Galaxy is the best phone I've ever used by a mile. Modded to the max.
Also got an iPhone 4 (completely modded) but that phone is just a joke. Feels 2 years older than my S.

[Q] Buy new phone. LG optimus 2x?

Hi
I have a motorola milestone smartphone. Now i have an opportunity that have a second new phone. I check the smartphone market and i decided the lg optimus 2x have the best buy/value rate.
What i need:
big screen (milestone hw keyboard will be missed but a big screen will help me out)
fast cpu and gpu (i see some test, some case lg beat even the overhyped sgs2)
solid rock TFT what is usefull in sunlight
elegant clean design
sgs2 is not an option, its too expensive and overhyped. buy/value rate is terrible. sgs2 almost cost like an iphone and a little better than O2X. its not woth it.
iphone is not an option because...i better dont say anything
i see some blog and post that optimus 2x software is not too good, but in here i found many more good custom rom, so i reflash the phone anyway, and the official gb rom is coming out any moment anyway. (my milestone also run a CM7 based rom, i almost never use the stock)...
...so the software gliches is not interested me.
based on the hardware and the design i think lg optimus 2x is worth the money.
so im right and lg optimus 2x is worth it, a good descendant for my milestone?

As you want it for CM, I would say it's worth it.
Unless you love FM radio & A2SP, then you're screwed

Muhahahaha
Edit: that was on behalf of LG developers

i dont like the sgs2, i hesitate between the o2x and desire s, but o2x is not just faster but much more elegant.
sgs2 too much overhyped and expensive, and i have negative experience with the company other products too, so i not buy sgs2, not even if sgs2 will the last android phone on earth

The Desire S is basically just a smaller Desire HD

For me optimus 2x was the worst buy ever. After 2 units I've bough SGS2.
I understand that for some people it can be expensive, but there is more phones better than O2X at the almost same price.
Take a look at Galaxy R I9103.
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9103_galaxy_z-review-614.php
Here in Sweden it costs 399 euro.
If you like Tegra 2, it will be perfect phone for you. Anyway my advice is stay away from O2X.

I dont know were are your informations from, but O2x is not faster than SGS2. Maybe in some syntetics tests, but in the real scenario its laggy. My old HTC Legend was sometimes faster.

For example Desire S, SE Arc or SE Neo with incredible battery life.
Even if those phones are not dual core, the user experience is much, much better.

desire s is definetly slower. the stock rom in the o2x is not too good, but reflash with cm7 or blazingdragon, it is much more faster. i see many videos on youtube.

O2x is awesome with the leaked gb from lg
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App

It's interesting how opinions are split. Those who had "problem" devices swear they'll never buy LG again. Those who've had no problems, or their problems went away after flashing a firmware update/CM/modaco rom etc. seem to be quite happy.
When I decided to buy my o2x it was on Amazon with a significant price cut, cheaper than basically any similar specced phone. I received a lemon which has now gone for repair. I don't know what your odds of getting a good, working device are if you buy this phone.

considering all the comments i still think that o2x is a good choice.

Hello. until the past week i was very satisfied by the O2x and i have stock room and works fine for me. The worst what happened to me is that my usb conection with pc don't work anymore. Works only the carging of battery. Don't advice you buy this phone or other from LG. what is cheap is bad.

I have to say that this phone I bought from LG recently was a good buy option. I have looked at the other options out there. If you're looking for Dual Core, there are better specs yes, but then again, the software which is out there hasn't yet utilized the dual core technology. Bang for buck, the optimus 2x is a good buy and this coming from a guy who is sticking to a stock rom and resisting the temptation to go over to CM7.

I had this phone for 2 days, I skipped the lg rom completely and installed cm7 directly
I think its a bargain for the price, problem is that the support is pretty ridiculous from both lg and nvidia not updating / releasing the code.
It could be a beast if well supported, for example Nvidia showed a prototype in February with Skype HD video calling thanks to 1080p video decoding in hardware, have you seen that released ? No, skype doesn't even support standard video calling because tegra 2 doesn't support the "skype technology" (NEON).
It's useless for companies to show off what they can do bla bla bla... if they never implement stuff!
A revolution could arrive in ICS if Google decides to use Tegra 2 as the standard hardware

The Optimus 2x has too little RAM. Major fail. They shouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Sent from my LG-P990

Did you read the article? In page 4 you can see that double the RAM without good software means nothing.

The Galaxy R has better specs but in the test wins Optimus 2X.

Even if O2X doesn't win in every category, it certainly wins in the price category. I bought mine for 326 eur and in the same store the galaxy R is 425 eur. Whatever the difference is in the test results it is certainly not worth 100 eur, in my opinion!

agreed, i too was considering the galaxy r a few months ago, but got the lg optimus 2x bcoz it was cheaper

Lets keep it simple and short, galaxy R if you want to stick to stock firmware with no oc .Optimus 2x if you want to flash custom tims and/or Oc!!
Btw o2x beats sgs2 @1.4 and 1.5 Ghz with sgs2 at 1.4 and 1.5 respectively

Its hard to compare the sgs2 with the o2x because its gpu is only capable of rendering color in 16bit compared to the o2x in 24bit making any comparison completly pointless users of the sgs2 are tricked by the samoled display.
Even if i could afford the sgs2 i never would have got it, if i wanted overprised crap id have bought an iphone.

LG 2X is better because it's more affordable.

many dealers back here in india have no stock of SGR,samsung have stopped production.
and those who have stock they are charging 23,000-25,000(INR)
SGR is good phone but was good only for 19-20k(around 400$)
optimus 2x is great at a cheap price with almost same features

[Q] How about a new LG L9?

What do you think about this phone (L9) ? I've read that it works smoothly and battery lasts a long time. In my country the phone costs 900PLN. For example Lg 4X costs about 1350PLN and I can sell my black for 500PLN. I would like to buy, but I do not know if it is worth it. It have dual-core proccesor and SGX540 and 4,7 IPS screen with a little higher resolution. Gpu is old, I think. I can not decide and I'm waiting for a good answer. Sorry for my bad English.

Its like "hanging in palm tree after falling from sky" (A hindi proverb translated roughly). Sell ur OB and dont look back for LG. I m yet amazed you are going to buy another mobile from LG. IMO go for HTC as they have very vast support by XDA and their updates are good too.

HTC = locked bootloader and if you dont know how to you could brick the phone.
as I always recommend, go for an AOSP device Galaxy nexus or the next nexus4 (made by LG) or some of the new xperias.

Yea, but in my sweet country Nexus 4 costs two times more and it doesn't have microsd slot. If thera is 32gb model of this phone, sure I will buy it. I saw on the youtube that L9 is very smooth, have good performance, good battery, nice screen(I don't need a full hd in phone) and good looking.

I have tried this phone and i can tell you that it is very smooth in comparision to another smatphone like optimus l7. Also the materials (for me) are really good, :laugh: i also would buy l9 because it doesn't costs much for what it offers

No company gives free nothing.. Just think why the L series cost is less than Optimus Black
You compare the LG Optimus Black and L series in some sites, nothing L series is better than Optimus Black except ICS version for now (of course now we will get soon official ICS for optimus black in couple of weeks)
So decision is yours..

Optimus L9 seems to be a lot berrer than Optimus Black

L9 is better than P970 for most things, but according to GSMArena it doesn't have GPU and it will choke on high graphics games.
@pkb_always4
It depends on what phone you have not the brand. It varies. Out P970 community is better than a lot of HTC phones just as some HTC phones community is better than ours. Were alot better of than most phones this old since other companies like HTC decides rather not to give updates than take a while longer to release them (Even though they're supposed to but Google doesn't enforce it strictly enough). If you want a guaranteed awesome phone,awesome community and awesome official then theres only Nexus. The only problem is that it's expensive.

It won't give you lag. You don't need more than that.

I'm decided, but does not want to leave our community. Unfortunately, this the way of things. My Lg Black will go to my brother. I don't why so many people complain about p970. It's a very good phone even now(but yea with Zeus ). I will sure keep checking here still. We have a very good developers. I'm sure that someone go for the Lg L9 too. And thanks for reply.

Same GPU as the Nexus S/Galaxy S, so it's better than the OB but not that much, compared to the Mali 400 in the Galaxy S II/S III and Xperia U/P. The Xperias have the same CPU as the L9.

Well said. I am long time hater of LG for its slow support, but pals, THEY MAKE UNBRICKABLE PHONES. LG Support Tool always UNBRICKED every phone (which I know). This is TOPMOST best feature of LG. Now about slow or no support, who cares? We have XDA One of my friend already bricked HTC phone last year and later sold it in scrap.
This is the reason, this week only, I upgraded to new economical but still strong model LG L9 with 4.7" screen. Long duration Li-Ion 2150 mAh battery, which gives two full working days (and roaming also) which is rare in most Android Smartphones. So now people should stop cursing them, like I did. I also recommend all for LG Nexus 4 if good budget, else go for L9.
EDIT: How LG phones are unbrickable? When you press few HARDWARE buttons on phone simultaneously the phone hardware puts phone in SW Upgrade Mode. No matter phone is bricked or working. In this mode most devices download full rom with the help of LG Support Tool and your phone is back in action.
Most (not all) of the phones from other companies does not even come in such upgrade mode and you loose chances of bringing LIFE back to phone, leaving only one option to send to Service Center and well you know how much they charge. I did not pay a single penny to Service Center for any of my bricked phones.

here are the main differences ...
connectivity:
.p970 Has a gyroscope , l9 not
p970 can be used as a WiFi hot spot l9 not.
l9 Has DLNA p970 not.
camera:
Clearly better video recording quality 1080p @30 fps (l9) vs 720p @30 fps (p970)
power
Appreciably more battery power 2,150 mAh (l9) vs 1,500 mAh (p970) => 44% more battery power

LG P880 or Galaxy SIII ?

Hello!
I had the LG Optimus 4X HD and I loved it, but unfortunately i has been stoled.
Now I'm in doubt, buy the LG P880 again or adventure with Galaxy SIII?
The price here in Brazil is a small difference between them, and then what should I choose?
Thanks u guys

Let's make a small comparision here. ( this is only my opinion)
Advantages of the 4X HD:
+ better screen
+ I prefer the design of the O4X than the S3
+ Cheaper
Advantages of the S3
+ Battery is better
+ More software updates and custom ROMs
That's what i think. Hope that will help you.

A little addition to it:
4X HD:
+Games lags a lot even of tegra.
+Tegra gives more graphics.
+Loud speaker sound isn't much loud.
+Old 40 nm process, means high heat production.
+Optimus UI 3.0.
+Better battery saving on music play only.

Don't buy s3 if you loved your 4x then go for optimus G it's better

Since the point was to split the comments in advantages/disadvantages of the 4X against advantages/disadvantages of the S3, I've fixed your list for you.
Btw, I didn't know if you meant the UI 3.0 as a pro or a con, so I left it as a plus.

Agreed.
IMO, it all depends on what you can afford and what you liked/disliked in the LG.
Quality-wise, I'd say it's LG 4x < Samsung S3 < LG Optimus G. So, if you can afford the S3 and not the Optimus G go for the S3, if you can afford either, go for the Optimus G.
Although if you have a penchant for the LG form factor as I do, you'll save a bit (and/or wait till the Optimus G's price goes down a bit) and forget about the S3.
That said, it's all about the experience so, if you can go to a store and try the S3 and the Optimus G

buy the s3 it's the better performing device, better sound quality also games do not lag and does not overheat when playing anything it also comes with expandable storage sim card support and removable battery the 4x has glitches everywhere with 4.1.2 and updates won't come any time soon.

I'd say S3 if the price is close

I chose the O4X as it was much cheaper than the S3.
If the price is only a slight difference, definitely get the S3.

Hello!
I had the LG Optimus 4X HD and I loved it, but unfortunately i has been stoled.
Now I'm in doubt, buy the LG P880 again or adventure with Galaxy SIII?
The price here in Brazil is a small difference between them, and then what should I choose?
Thanks u guys

Man I am from Brazil too, if you can save a little more (I don't know if you are able) I would get a Xperia ZQ.
But if we compare only both of the fones (OX4 and SIII)
I just had the same question at the end i've chosed OX4, they are saying that SIII has a bad quality gorilla glass in Brazil. I don't know for sure.
Design of OX4 is way better than SIII in my opinion and about the price tag, I've found many prices of SIII the lowest was about R$ 1500.
If you look you can find OX4 for R$ 999 at red store and 1.299 where i bought mine at extra supermarket site.
I hope I helped you. :good:
Sorry for my bad english

My dad broke his screen with a minor drop on his s3, a similar drop on my 4x left no mark
Sent from my rooted P880

hi i love my p880 too and i don't like s3 but after i bought my lg 1 month later the speaker was broken with unknown causes...now i have to send it to lg's warranty but i don't want to wait for 1 month about, before it will go back.
For his price this is the best option to choose

A friend of mine was sitting ON THE GROUND and his S3 fell out of his pocket and the screen shattered with spider web cracks. That fall must have been less than a foot. It's crazy. So yeah I'd be wary of the S3's shatter resistance is what I'm saying. Also the same friend has had to send away the phone for software-related repairs twice now. He's not a modder, his phone isn't even rooted, all the issues he's had are stock related.

Advantages of the S3
+ Battery is better

..not completely sure where that comes from. The 4x battery has higher mAh capacity, the sio+ solution is still organic, but better than the usual lithium ion batteries for retaining the charge, standby, etc. Tegra3 with a normal setup also demonstrably gives you an hour extra over the qualcomm chipsets on gaming. It trounches anything else on medium loads/movie playback for any neon/arm7 codec. Meanwhile the helper core can run music playback, small background tasks, and so on, on a power-draw similar to the second iphone, or the previous arm5 setups with the "graphics card module" disconnected.
Probably the problem is that LG put in a few background tasks, like the logger, and the today app - that actually prevent the phone from dropping to idle, while stealing cycles while running on full burn. This hasn't really been fixed, and you will have massively higher power-draw than you can have with just the standard setup.
Technically, though.. and if you just remove those apps.. it's undeniably the most power-efficient as well as most powerful chipset out there. And you notice it when you play around with the phone. For example if you do some picture editing, drawing with complex brushes, that sort of thing.. The tegra3 chipset here is extremely well designed, without exceeding the power-draw of an arm5 single-core setup.. And this is kind of a feat, so.. you know.. You get a lot for the money here - if it works as intended, obviously.... LG could have set this up a bit more carefully..
How many other phones with an ips display and a replacable battery and a memory card slot is there on the market, anyway..?
