In this budget it is good to go with galaxy mini.....
Ya mini is good...but you can also go for galaxymini plus...it's 8300rs on flipkart...same configuration as mini but with a faster processor 832mhz...but if you are interested in experimenting with your device like flashing go for mini...I don't think the plus version is going to get any development...
Swyped from my first Android device....!

Hi guys! I would like to ask you something about upgrading from S1 to S2. What do you think? Does it worth it? I mean what would the advantages and disadvantages of each other? I assume that it's faster due to the processor and graphics but I'm not a "gamer" so... What do you guys think?

Performance wise, yes you would greatly benefit from the S2. Playing videos and multitasking will be super smooth, although our sgs 1 can do that too.
But if you are contented with your current phone, I suggest you wait for the next installment that is Galaxy S3 due out this year if rumors are true.
S1 is a great phone, it still has years before it gets really outdated. IF money is not an issue then definitely get S2 or wait for the S3.
Just my 2 cents.
well the fact is i won't afford an SIII when it will come out so for the upgrade to SII i need about 100€... so in fact is the SII worth 100€ over SI?

Consider this, Sammy has stopped support for S1 and continues to roll out updates for the S2. If you are content with flashing the latest roms to get your S1 updated then it would be advisable you stick with what you currently have.
Since you said you were a non-gamer, I reckon S1 would suit your needs just fine.
I'd rather save up that extra 100 for another more awesome phone in the future.
hey!
I need your help i am really confused between these two devices htc one S and galaxy nexus?
Htc one s = snapdragon S3 (asia)
Galaxy nexus = cortax A9
Which is better?
Give me an review about these two devices if you can.
Thank you.

Lol awkward... you're actually asking for gnex and one s review on ace forum where people use ace and those two device are still a dream to them :/
Theres boatloads of gnex and one s review on google, youtube, blogs etc

What i think is that i should go for gnex
More developers support
Google phone
Cheap
Vanilla android.
Fast updates.
What do think?
Snapdragon S3 or cortax A9??
Thanks
I'd definitely go for gnex, or the one s with s4. Heard terrible things about one s with s3. Overheat, battery drain etc.

buddy you don't know much of chipsets A9 is architecture of cpu and not some processor..
now come to point S3 is out of date as launched in 2010 and nexus sports TI-OMAP which is considered to be most developer friendly chipset.. so i would go for OMAP and if you can get S4 then definitely S4

No S4 are avavilable for asia only outdated S3 :-/

But gnex is insanely huge I've held it for around 30 minutes and feels like holding a tablet already. Those above 4 inch phone were created for american with their huge hand in mind, not us asian with our puny hand :/
One S is not small either and i don't think now sizes will come down ever they are competing for no reason on screen sizes..
SGA is of good size (as iPh4)..
Yup! Main reason i was looking htc one s was because of size.
Galaxy nexus is too big :-/

frankly for me sga too is too big to comfortably hold in one hand. thats why i grab lww with 3.2 inch. mini with 3 inch is too small. but lww with 3.2 just feels perfect for me. will hold on to this lww for as long as possible. but by that time newer phone would need a dedicated slingbag to carry :/

Hmm, there were few threads you could adjust your dissapointment. And if you just want official then you were never had to root your mobile. There are good JB ROMs in development thread (yet bugs but in development) and those are good hands to wait till they dont give up. BTW had you ask any 1 here befor buying OB ? So why telling us about selling. Its not ebay or amazon.

Why does everybody find the SII good It is honestly not that good!! It's screen is oversaturated, to the point when your eyes can't stand colours anymore, and you would prefer to see in black n white
Well the official release will definitely come SOON, but we just don't know when... probably end on October npw. I would recommend you to wait for the official ICS and try it and decide whether you really want to change rom...
If so, I would definitely recommend you to take the Samsung Galaxy Nexus... It's just way better than SII... Since it's a Nexus phone.. It will be a potential candidate to obtain AT LEAST 3 major updates...
It was released with ICS, then got Jelly Bean, and will certainly get the next android version.
lol...stop eating his head guys

Buy Google nexus if you really want a smartphone that always first to receive updates to the operating system.
Samsung galaxy nexus II, LG nexus optimus G and HTC nexus 5 is coming...

As I said. Take Galaxy nexus loL! It's newer, have a better hardware design, really good design... one of the most beautiful phone IMO.. Only downside is that it doesn't have SD car slot I think...
If I knew the Galaxy Nexus before the Optimus Black, I would, without hesitation, take SGN

Hi everybody. I've already checked the various threads but the answers don't satisfied me. I want the Samsung Galaxy s Advance and I've the chance to buy it for 250 euros. The device is perfect for what I have to do (the only drawback is the RAM, because I wanted it to be 1 gb). Anyway, my question is: is it good to buy it now? I fear that it will not be upgraded anymore. I've another question: should I wait for new devices coming at the MWC? Any release date? My budget is limited to 250 euros.
Thanks in... advance
Sorry for my bad English
Look Bro.... SGSA may not be that popular or might have some bugs but what it does have is a damn good processor and gpu
...... Given the price range..... Also we have a small but good developer team which have released kernel and roms which are brilliant...... Also SGSA HAS RECEIVED JB update and it runs like butter....
This is all I can say the rest is up to you as you are the one who is gonna buy it not us.... But if you buy this device you won't regret that you invested in this piece
IF I HELPED PRESS THANKS!!

thanks. I think I'll get the Advance. So I hope xda developers will continue rocking on this device!
I don't mean to discourage you or anything but if you are looking for a phone with atleast 1 GB RAM then you do have an option to get S3 Mini instead... its 250 EUR now and it has the "same" hardware as the Galaxy S Advance - only thing that differs is that this device has 1 GB of RAM.. and S Advance has 768 MB instead...
PS: The 4.1.2 update for S Advance may be the "last" official update from Samsung... but on other side the S3 Mini may even get 5.0 update..
But I'm SATISFIED with my S Advance... if you do the "proper" Tweaks and Modifications then this phone might get too fast for you to handle
Warning: If you are planning to buy a Galaxy S Advance then make sure its i9070 and NOT i9070p... The "P" version is the NFC version - here on XDA only one developer has this and that too is bricked... so you might not get any dev support if you own a i9070p!!

I Think we might get future updates....as our device is equivalent to S3 mini......and it is a recent release also!!
if S3 Mini can be updated(i am asuming it will go to 4.2 or larger) i dont see a reason why our model wont be?
But that is just MY perspective!
Don't buy it if you expect development.
It's a solid performer but nothing more. I came here from a ****ty, low-end htc device that had more development done in a month than SGSA since it had it's own subforum on xda.
So for the time being you can choose from:
1. JB update X or JB update Y - both provided by our hefty russian branch :>
2. two custom kernels which do have some bugs and glitches (but hey, nothing's perfect right?)
Device was released nearly a year ago. Do the math.
The only reason i would recommend you to avoid samsung smartphones is problem with keeping dialer and sms applications locked in RAM. So far i have not seen the device (from ancient devices like spica or i5500 to s3) that manage this properly without custom rom (@official samsung software dev's wtf?). So i would probably go for LG/Sony

Neither s3 mini or s advance will get 5.0 that much is assured. Only note 2 and s3 have the hardware to run such a hefty(I'm assuming after seeing the RAM eaten by JB) so it doesn't really matter whether s3 mini or the advance is depends on personal preference only!

But I'm just guessing.. the rest depends on Google and Samsung
discussion about future OS's is almost irrelevant for this topic. you cannot expect from any mid range phone to support many future os's so this won't help him with his dilemma. IMO only relevant thing could be that samsung usually don't support AT ALL models older than approx. 1 year, in favor of selling newer, more expensive models. which is not the case with some other manufacturers

It doesn't really matter what updates will samsung release, that I've learned while owning an original Galaxy S. The last fw officially relased to it was GB 2.3.6. Right now it rocks Jelly Bean 4.2 stable. (yes, of course CyanogenMod ^^)
It's quiet an old device, but still, the dev support is amazing! And do you know why it's possible? Firstly, sales. More than 10 million sold. More popular device means more devs, usually. Secondly, it's hardware is identical to Google's Nexus S which received an official Jelly Bean and that means source codes released in timely manner to work with!
As for the S Advance, the only problem is popularity. It was an awful mistake to release it with gingerbread instead of already long available ICS. This repels users, who are interested in tinkering with their phone. This means only those few people (and to whom I thank their efforts) are here and capable to do anything with development for our device. Honestly, the list of roms and kernels are short.
On the other hand the chipset is quiet popular and I'm sure other handsets with the same chipset will help somewhat to keep this device up to date for as long as possible.
Cheers!
Hi everybody!
I am a fully satisfied Galaxy Wonder I8150 user, however - since I found an offer for the Galaxy S Advance I9070 for about 200€ - I am thinking about changing my phone.
What would you suggest?
Are you happy with the I9070?
I am a bit worried that you do not have many ROMs available - while I8150 has plenty of them and good developers, just to name one, arco! - and it seems to me that the I8150 is not very widespread...
Opinions and discussions are more than welcome, tx.
The number 1 advantage in s advance is good value for money and good specs for that price. If specs are your only concern try s3mini . It may be costlier but has more ram. As regards s advance, now after Jb update development has picked up and we do have at 3 least good custom ROMs and other mods. CM10 official may come soon and there will be more ROMs based on it.
But if you are buying a phone now look for something newer as Samsung mostly won't release next android update for advance

@ Sadvance: I surely agree with the fact that I9070 seems to be good value for money.
I would go for S3 mini (although I prefer the design of I9070 actually!) but paying 100€ more for having 1GB Ram instead of 768MB is not justifiable imho.
Are there other significant differences between S3 mini and I9070 (I cannot find any other)?
@R_a_z_v_a_n: what do you mean?
Should I look for the P version since it also has NFC reader?
Or should I look for the normal (i.e. NOT P version) because it seems to be more widespread?
Tx a lot.
