samsung gs3
I would go for the SGS III.
Well if you are clumsy i would recommend Xperia S but if you need Quad core (i doubt) just buy SGS III.
But if i would be buying new phone i would go for some HTC
SGS III has 16/32/64gb internal memory,1gb of ram + Android OS, v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich),buy it if you have money!

Didn't you dream about Sony Xperia U?
I say HTC ONE S
OR GS3
Is it important how did i send this?
I don't like HTC there build quality is not all that IMO my friend had HTC desire HD and shattered the screen by sitting on it.
And I'm always dropping my phone

SGS III
coz have quad core processor :good:
Even though I absolutely hate Samsung with my heart and passion, get it.
Sony will dump the XPERIA™ S.
It probably won't see anything after Jelly Bean, if it even gets it.

why an htc??
Go for SIII
Like so many top-end phones of this generation, the Sony Xperia S does not let you use memory cards
Also processor is quad core in SIII
Camera has more features in SIII than Xperia S
Also samsung is known for their tough and sturdy design so even if you drop your SIII... I guess their will be no problem
Take the S3, its better supported by samsung and xda.
Also the Galaxy S3 has Corning Gorilla Glass 2, so you can't even scratch the screen
I recommend the Xperia S. It is wsy better in design than sgs3...........only bad point is that it has dual core not quad core..

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.

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:

Yes i own both devices and the note will be only for 10.1inch display i think,but you didnt understand my question both devices note and s3 have 1gb ram (international version) if you go to the task manager you will see note having 800mb or something but in the se it has 700mb i know that the rest is beeing used for the Android OS but why the note has more?

Samsung's approach: Pack as many gimmicky features into crappy feeling hardware and crappy looking ui. yuck! Could they make the phone look anymore cheaper. And that touchwiz ui... WOW does it look crappy.

agreed. It looks like a good phone with some cool features. I like my phone better, but this is probably going to be great for all of those sgs2 users that are about to come off contract.
Mainly camera functions. Maybe Samsung should focus more of their energy into camera.

Happens in every forum. Everybody loves the phone they have and will defend it ruthlessly. When another, newer phone comes out people bash it. Just how it is. The sgs4 is a nice phone. Its not a let down or disappointment. Its just not a nexus. Nexus gets first updates and amazing development. That's what matters to me the most.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
After the nightmare of dealing with Samsung and ODIN I vowed NEVER to own a Samsung Phone again. SGS4 looks like more of the same as the SGS3 and as someone called it the SGS3s That is exactly Samsung's strategy. They are copying Apple even more in this regard. They will keep the SGS3 going for another year as the more "Affordable" SGS like they were doing with the SGS2 recently. Notice all the Deep discounts for the SGS3 lately? I can't wait to get my self all on the Nexus Line (as well as my Wife). Tired of all these bad Custom UIs and Carrier Hostage crises.
saw the live event. Its nothing revolutionary as Galaxy S3 was. Most of event focused on gimmick features. It has some cool features but nothing wowed me .

Samsung hit the nail by putting ipad 4 powervr 533mhz oc gpu and octo core on international s4 . the us version has adreno gpu same as nexus 4.This will smoked any mobile devices until tegra 4 and qualcomm 800 released.
you all know which one i am getting.
Hi, I searched the internet to find that there are two phones I can buy which are in my range: Galaxy grand and galaxy note. I have to choose one of them. Please tell me which one I should buy and why.. some points like larger screen, s pen, 1.4 GHz processor are making me want to buy the note. The websites on first page of google also tell that note is better, but I want to know what you guys think?
I will buy used phone, as prices of new ones are almost double.
What is the average battery life of these mobiles? Not the standby time which they say on the features list, but the average usage time as experienced by the users. Are there any hardware related problems which many users generally face? Should the fact that note is one year older bother me?
If anyone is reading from Pakistan, I would love to take a look if you suggest me another phone with second-hand price around 23,000 to 29,000 PKR, having more than 4.3 inch screen, at least 8 mp camera, jelly bean and at least 1.2 GHz processor?
I currently have HTC sensation so I don't want to switch to an HTC device.
Thanks.
Note 1 is way better
Note has better gpu than grand
Grand has poor diaplay compared to note..
Spen is unique abt note..
Camera too also is better of note..
I compared both devices in real lifre I feel note better
So I bought note = better..
Both devices will get 4.2.2 as last update (thogh not officially confirmed)
Battery back of note is good..
Its good in playing games..
Note has way better development than grand..
All roms exists for note..

Thanks, what's the battery life in hours? Sensation's life is around 6 hours with normal use and games and heavy browsers drain whole battery in maximum one hour. I will be highly inclined towards one phone if it has much more battery life in comparison.

Maybe you can give us a first experience with the Nexus 7. I really love browsing in the web with the Galaxy Tab 8.9 in landscape mode. As the default orientation of the Nexus 7 is portrait, does this make as much fun? I'm really wondering why all new 7-8" tablet are portrait now? Thanks!
safariking Thank you for all the work you did on the 8.9.

We're using a lot of these at my work. They only have 1024 x 600 resolution, that's the same as the original Galaxy tab and only 169 ppi, the Nexus 7 323 ppi.
Then there's the Marvell dual-core cpu which is basically a low grade cpu.
Basically, you bought an entry level tablet which has a lower resolution than the tab 8.9 has, and a camera without flash which is also only 3 mp and is the worst camera I've seen since my trust webcam 8 years ago.
Don't take my word for it, read any review like this one http://www.trustedreviews.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-3-7-0_Tablet_review#tr-review-summary
Even the older nexus 7 is a far far better deal than the tab 3 which was only released to suck people's wallet dry.

Im also thinking of selling my tablet. It is in very good condition. Not a single scratch. But just too ffreaking slow and hate touchwiz now. And no updates. Samsung abondoned the tablet too quick.
Wondering which tablet to buy next.
What would be a good replacement for the Galaxy Tab 8.9. I do not know another tablet with the same display size and landscape format?

If you're partial to 8.9 inch screens (as I am), then there aren't any good replacements right now, though the recently announced AMazon Fire HDX 8.9 looks good on paper (if you've okay with being tied to amazon world)
Otherwise, I think the best bet is to wait for the next nexus 10. Hopefully, it'll weigh less than a pound, making it as light as our 8.9s. Personally 7 inch tablets (even 8 inch ones) seem crammed to me.

Seems like a successor to the GT 8.9 has finally come. The new GT Pro 8.4 unveiled yesterday. What do you guys think ?
Nice specs.
8.4-inch display with WQXGA resolution (2560 x 1600)
Snapdragon 800 2.3GHz quad-core CPU
2GB RAM
16GB/32GB
8-megapixel camera
2-megapixel front-facing camera
4800mAh
Android 4.4 KitKat
Fine size. Might be a bit expensive. Think I will wait and consider the next 10' Nexus first. Less bloatware and faster upgrades. I like my p7320 now that it has CM. Faster than stock 4.0.4, more settings, no freezes

I think that it's not bad but not optimal either.
First of all screen size is not optimal for me, I think 8.9 is the best fit, not a bigger one but not a smaller one too, and 8.4 is enough smaller. Maybe 8.7 would be barely sustainable as substitute for my optimal 8.9.
Second, subpixel matrix is the usual sh1tty pentile. Samsung seems as usual unable (or unwilling) to shrink subpixel over a certain extent, no matter if amoled or tft, therefore offering this ridiculous subpixel arrangement. I don't care of what they say, given a certain resolution the image quality is always worse with pentile. So I never consider any device of any resolution/ppi that doesn't sport 3 subpixel (full rgb) matrix.
Third, I don't like form factor, I know that Samsung needs to follow Apple design to sell millions of devices, and now 8.4 design is resembling ipad mini 2, but it can only push me toward other solutions. I don't like Apple and its design, so I won't like any design similar to Apple's. I still prefer tablet form factor over the phablet one.

The best substitute for my 8.9 would exactly be Amazon hdx 8.9, snapdragon 800 and 2560 FULLRGB and not pentile crap. Unfortunately atm there's no way to install a custom rom, so it cannot be a choice for me. Anyway I'm constantly following development there, eager to see a daily drivable cm on it, then I'll buy it.
What do you people think about the LG G Pad 8.3 - especially considering there is a Google Play Edition version and there is active CM11 development on it?
