Hi i want to buy a new phone but i dont know wich one.
Galaxy S 2 or Galaxy Nexus ???
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9000 mit Tapatalk
I was looking at both those as well, and deceided that the better one was the SII. It has better cameras, not restricted to 16gb storage and ok, yeah people will say the nexus is better cos it has ICS on it...well, in my opinion I dont rate ICS that high, I mean c'mon, its all blue and bland!!
i think thats a good choice and bout ics it will come out on the SII eventually
go for galaxy SII..it's a good phone.
I would also choose the SII
S2, u will get ics soon so why not have a taste of gingerbread till then.

I went for the GN, it's a little better then the SII and the screen with the higher resolution looks sweet to say the least.
Second reason for me was that I'm fed up with waiting for official ROM upgrades and I really hate all the bloatware the manufacturers put on their handsets. Give people the chance to choose for themselves what apps they want/need.
16Gb memory isn't a problem for me, I had the i9000 with 16Gb extra memory card and never used it.

Umm s3 has 2gb of ram unless your getting an internation version which has a quad core processor

Actually they're releasing the Note 2 soon, and that'll probably be better than the s3.
I own both devices but why the note has 100mb more free usage ram I dont get it
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
If you HAVE to buy one of those now, i would personally go with the Note, but since you're not me i would recommend you to buy the S3. If you're smart you'll wait for the Note 2 or the next Nexus, which i guess will be released around the same time (like last year).
Actually they're releasing the Note 2 soon, and that'll probably be better than the s3
Based on what? The S3 is undeniably Samsung's flagship, the Note is more of an oddity (nothing against it, it just doesn't have the same mainstream appeal). It would be against Samsung's interests to release a device that made their flagship inferior.

If they make the note inferior specwise, it won't be as popular. It's somewhat newer, so the processor may be slightly faster. The ram will probably be 2 gigs and the camera 8mp. The s3 will still be the flagship, and the note will be for those who want a phablet, but without having last year's specs.

Well, Note has larger screen and S3 is more powerful.
Personally, I'd go for Note. In the other hand it'd be wise to wait for Note 2.

Biased Note user here.
You shouldn't ask this question, every person in this thread knows what's best for them, not what's best for you.
If you are really unsure, wait till the end of August for Sammy to (hopefully) give us some specs on the Note 2, should help sway your.balance to one or the other :thumbup:

did you consider htc ome s?
i was
At the end I have took sgs3 but if my butget was tight i was prepared to take one s
pros:
1. arm15 on board so future proof
2. realy good build quality (even better than sgs3, and I know what I am talking waiting for delivery of otter box comuter case for my sgs3!! )
3. chaper options for monthly rental, at least 5 to 8 pounds a month.
4 nice screen
cons
1 Not samsung
2 not sgs3
cheers
If I need to buy this year,I will buy SGS2.
If I will buy next year,I will buy SGS3.
No-matter SGS2 or SGS3 I will buy used phone and in warranty.
Because in my country just warranty 1yeas and new phone must cost me about $700,so I will buy used phone.
So u guys suggesting a strict no to nexus? I live in india here galaxy s2 is i9100g which is not so good for custom rom..dont hav a budget for s3 or even one s..

I was thinking to switch to a Galaxy nexus, but reconsidered. Now I'll wait for the next nexus(es?) mobiles to be announced and probably get that.

i9100g no good for custom rom lol? CM10 nightlies are available for it already, yet i9100 still doesn't have them.

Bolded text is horribly wrong. The i9100G sports the OMAP4 processor, just like the Galaxy Nexus. It's much easier to develop for this particular chipset if compared to the i9100 Exynos chip, and as the previous poster has pointed out, CM10 nightlies are already out for the i9100G but not for the i9100.
Thank You
Thanks, this helped me too.
lol couldn't wait..already ordered the nexus..hope its as good as the galaxy s turned out to be..thanx guys
Why do you need to upgrade it?
It's funny... even after two years, I haven't found a single phone I'd much rather have than the SGS. Most newer models are just too damn big. The S is the perfect size, and recent software upgrades have made it faster than ever.
Yes the Galaxy S1 is most rom and mods, rather than later, and is still the best.
I love my Galaxy S and I will change it only when it dies.
It still is the best price/performance out there, its size is perfect, it has one of the best sound chips on the market and it has a big list of custom ROMs.
Which one should I go with ?? Optimus 2x is dual core and tegra 2, but Galaxy S has super amoled display and better battery life (they both have 1500 but dual core use more power).
I know booth Phones and I have to say the S Plus is better one for me. The optimus 2x have a little bit more Ram so it might be better to play with but the S plus is much better in all the other things it also isn't that easy to brick and if u manage to brick it its easy to ressurect it

I thought dual core is better than single core .....
It is but a friend of mine got the optimus x2 he says its not good he's switching to Samsung too
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9001 mit Tapatalk 2
I've used both the Optimus 2x and the Galaxy S. Personally I find the Samsung more satisfying to use. Two main reasons being Super AMOLED and rom support.
Hi everyone! This topic already is on the forum, but it had no solution and it was in the wrong section, so I'll post the problem here.
I have a Galaxy mini with Cyanogenmod 7.2 and when i touch the screen with two fingers, it only detects the first finger that i touched, and i have to slightly move the second one to recognize both. It's very awkward, mostly when I play games. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

Try zoom and unzooming images / web pages, if zooming / unzooming work that means something odd is happening.
It will work, he said multitouch is working, but only if u move ur second finger slightly

Multitouch works, but if I tap the screen with 2 fingers at the same time it doesnt work. It only detects them after I moved them.

Yes, but when I bought my mini about 2 years ago it was working fine.

Yeah, the same goes for me. IDK, i never solved this issue, i just "jumped" the issue. I'm not a gamer so i don't really care if my Mini's multitouch won't work correctly.

Hey guys just looking for input here. Would it be worth it to trade my Nexus 5 (case + screen protector) for a Xperia Z that also comes with a screen protector + case, also the charging dock?

Because of the latest Android version and the better (IMO) screen! XZ will be abandoned after 4.4 :silly:
I cant think of anything where the xperia z beats the nexus 5. Maybe expandable storage. That's about it.
I previously had the ZL and traded it for a Nexus 5. After a while with the Nexus I'm starting to miss the Sony design and UI. So i've considered switching to a Z. I personally don't really care for the latest android update, as long as my phone is stable and working perfectly. Viewing angles I don't care about, so for me the Nexus and Z seem on par in the screen department. I have attempted to play games back when I had my ZL using a PS3 controller, but due to it not having a charging dock I found it problematic as I had to find a way to prop up my phone, but also charge it. So for me the inclusion of the dock for the Z really is a plus.
I love my Z too over my N5

I really don't know since I love the Sony UI and just premium look. But I love my Nexus 5 for speed and reliability of updates. I've had my Nexus for only a month now and I already miss having a Sony phone.
Stay on Nexus 5, you wont regret it

I bought Sony xperia z 1 year ago mostly cause of design.I don't care that much about screen,processor etc.4 cores of 1.5ghz are more than enough for everything.It's fast and smooth enough.I dont like the camera compared to other top smartphones but still i prefer great sony's design.
