Should I swap my Desire HD with a Galaxy S?

Hello fellow XDA'ers,
I've had my Desire HD for about 10 months & although it's perfectly fine and indeed excellent, apart from the below average battery, I just got bored.
So, a friend of mine has a SGS & I am thinking of swapping with him...
1)Will I notice the RAM difference?
2)Does the pentail screen bother much?
3)How's the sense rom on the SGS?
So what are your thoughts? Did any one convert from a DHD to SGS?
Thank you.

Dont do it! I came from galaxy s to dhd......dhd feels snappier nd much better screen. Plus the sense interface on the dhd is much better than the stupid touchwiz bull**** of the sgs.....wait until u see the browser resolution as well! Horrible....wait.....did i mention samsung's kies software? Well it suckssssss......thats when it really identifies ur phone....although i lost arnd 300$ sellng the sgs nd gettng the dhd.....im not sorry i got rid of that thng

For me SGS is much better than DHD... My gs still perfect even if it is dropped while in mine DHD there are no levers of the volume because were detached.
Perhaps you'll notice that the ram is less but this minority will be satisfied by the fantastic display Super Amoled! The GS also while having 3 megapixel less than camera of dhd take best pictures and video runs much more fluid and detailed ... Just watch it on youtube... Then gs is much more customizable in terms of hacks.
So... Make your choice...

Yeah.
Sgs is a great phone. Borrow your mates for a few days and see.

I think if you want a phone in such a range you can wait a 2-3 months as samsung is going to launch galaxy w on September 1 Berlin event it will have a 1.4 ghz single core processsor and 3.7 inch screen! If u can't wait for it thrnvuo for galaxy s as it is the best in its price range!

its still single-core, not much upgrade except the size and the overclocked cpu.

Well it depends on the rest of the specs too.
on topic, I love my sgs. The kernels, roms, upgrades, mods, it's a lot of fun to learn about and make as good as possible. I wouldn't trade it for much else. Try out your friends phone and imagine how good it could be.

Thanks for the reply guys!
The DHD is perfect, but I just got bored and want to try something new.
And I can't buy a new phone, so I am thinking of swapping it....
Guess I'll swap, & maybe we'll re-swap in 4 months again

so, If it's having OS from google and chipset from ARM, still, do I need to worry about the brand name, as micromax is not a very nice brand

Yeah i know that micro max is not a good brand but the built quality of phones are good.
So All you need to worry about is software updates.

About CPU And Camera

ultra-pix 4mpx means lower quality better pic in dark?!

The words 'lower' and 'better' are comparative words. Compared to what?
nothing takes pics in dark coz light is need for sensor make better pic.
performance is good.
Ask HTC.

Personally I find HTC phones better than samsung phones. video audio, music volume and washed out camera indoors is major problems i had with S2/3/GN2 and very boring UI. Only reason I chose samsung phones was because of hardware and battery life but now HTC and Sony imo are there in terms of hardware and battery life aswell now, so for me samsung with their ugly boring UI is irrelevant now.

coz its only 1.7 Ghz quad core and snapdragon 600!

Wat

ty im going for htc one and coz both are snapdragon 600 i can make my htc one 1.9ghz?

also smasung ui not boring:S htc one link bleed is to simple and boring (i had a htc sensation its freaking awesome also ui is freaking awesome better than my current note and it was faster, no problem , i sent my Note 2 times to guaranty) ! i just scared about the cpu and gpu

nvm searched web so im going to but it but can i overcloack to 1.9? coz its snapdragon 600 and support up to 1.9ghz else will buy s-IV

Camera shoots 30 or 60 fps (1080p)
I have one question. Is it true that HTC ONE is able record 1080p 60fps?? I don´t think so, but I have read that i can.
Thanks for true answers.

Yes it is able. The camera is fantastic on it. I'm blown away when I go to bars and parties how good it is. I was highly suspicious that it was only 4MP at first, and nearly didn't get it, but it's been better than any phone camera I've ever used so far. It's even great for Youtube vlogging.

This topic shows how they sell millions of phones every year.

No.
1080p (Full HD) = 30fps
720p (HD) = 60fps

[Q] Samsung galaxy s III mini vs. Samsung galaxy s advance

Hi.
I'll buy new phone but I need help... Which is better?? Exactly, I mean this:
Camera
Performance
SGSadvance has Auto-brightness and SGSIIImini no. So Which is better?
Thanks for the replies

Hi i have two cell and much better mini
Sent from my GT-I8190L using xda premium

well, S advance and s3 mini are same except in ram , s3 mini is 1gb ram , while S advance is 768mb ram , I think everything else are same
but since I own s3 mini I'll recommend it for you xD
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app

Aside the lack of auto brightness which can draw more battery... (I never used it on my SGSII at all) better take Mini 3, it performs better also on battery and it's not only cause of JB IMO.
Smooth, slick and ready to be moded, almost like its bigger brother, while Advance remains in shadow (not that it should be this way, but blame Samsung for not respecting promises so to push S3 Mini sales).
ps:I admit slightly curved display, musch similar to gnex is a good excuse to take Advance S, but, it is the only reason, no mater design (if you like more squared bezel).
Cheers,
Fevv.

Plus it will probably be updated more than the S Advance.

Thanks and what about android 5.0 official updarte? I think that SGSIIImini won't get it.

And Sgs Advance won't get it too.

I'm sorry not to say that the S Advance is bad.
But it has a lack GPU. I dunno the kernel or the GPU itself or the GPU is bad. someone said that.
And I've tried it myself. I played some games, temple run 1 lags.
I played temple run in Galaxy Wonder without no lags.

S3 LTE (This) or S4 Mini?

Im abit of a heavy gamer, run social-holic apps and do some web browsing. Are either of this phone good for my requirements? The I9305 cost as much as the S4 Mini in my country so deciding between these is tough thanks

I would say the I9305, mainly because of the screen and the RAM, i think the S4 mini is too small but that depends on what you like, for specs you can look here:

Specs is what I'm concerned about. Other people say even though the S4 Mini is a Dual-core device, it still outperform the S3 LTE in benchmarks in Antutu.
Also, the screen res is a plus too. qHD vs HD resolution.

Hm that´s weird. Well if you look at the link you see there are very few (good) points for the S4 mini, so when talking specs you should probably choose the S34G. My sister has the S4 mini and it´s a lot slower, and the screen is (in my opinion) not better when using it.

Mini is sheet. Why? Mini is mini. S3 will be always S3. Buy S III but i9300 for better ROMs and developers

Did she install CM11? One of my xda friend had CM11 on his device and gave him a +2000 on his Antutu Benchmark. Usually he got was just 18000 pts. Now 20000.

I seriously agree with you hands down. I may have to look at some kernels you guys have. I like UV and then OC devices i use. Its just so that i save more battery while still having good (if not better) perfomance

S III International has for example S5 ROMs(Lite and full), S4/N3 ROMs, official support from Cyanogen Mod(I had HTC One S C2 before and I know how it is when you have less popular variant of phone). Might S III LTE has LTE and 2x more RAM but I've chosen International edition and I'm happy with that

I own a HTC One S C2 too! Well, it got hard bricked for some reason (didn't detect my device as QDL).
Anyways, if everything's fine, i might go for the SIII LTE
Via the Internet

I liked Sense 6 Prism on it

S3 LTE all the way. Just the bigger screen is enough reason to pick it.

LTE all the way here too, especially as there are so many excellent roms and tweaks already.
