Iphone 4 vs Samsung Galaxy S2

What is your personal opinion about the 2 phones.
Sent from my Rooted GT-I9100 Cognition S2 v1.08 using XDA Premium App

My opinion is that they cannot be compared. Not because of the fanyboyism that will blind some, but that they are entire different generations of hardware. The iPhone 4 was released over a year ago, and the Galaxy S2 was just released. The original Galaxy S is what should be compared to the iphone 4 because of the similar specs/release date. Saying that I feel the Galaxy S2 is obviously the superior phone.

Stop feeding teh troll
Youre looking at a crackflashing troll with ORD

quality vs. high powered
simply just own both of them. i used to have 4 iphones back in august. 1 2g, 2 3g, and a 3gs 32gb.

I prefer just to have one phone, and spend more money on cheese.

I'm neutral, but interesting to note that Samsung Galaxy S outsold iPhone 4 in Q1 of this year in Japan. That's quite an achievement for a single Android device.

You can't compare them, the galaxy obviously has better hardware and it runs Android, can't compare any Android device with any ios device in my opinion there both in classes of there own, the only true test would be to run Android on the iPhone and vice versa, but in terms of hard ware the 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor in the 4 hasn't got any where near the power of the Dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 proccessor, then the g2 has double the RAM and full hd recording, there is no contest, is have one but I'm a HTC man just waiting for them to release a nice big dual core

Compared to the S2, the iPhone 4 is WORTHLESS in every aspect. It's not even a comparison, they're worlds apart.

Have a SGS and a iphone 4,
Overall like the SGS more for tweeking, gave the iphone 4 to my GF and she loves it lol

So, according to you, the iPhone is like your d!ck?
I jest, I jest.

I think this will be an endless loop, cuz igone 5 will be better, den sgs3 will be better and so on

Well, the Loyal Apple Users will obviously always choose iPhone 4 over any other phone, without comparing the hardware. In terms of software, it all comes down to personal choice really. Some people prefer the iOS, while most others prefer Android. But the Samsung Galaxy S II beats the iPhone 4 hands down when it comes to hardware, so its obviously the better phone imo.

This phone destroys the Nexus 7

I got a nexus 7 for Christmas and don't even use it because of my nexus 4. I mean sure it has a bigger screen but it's slower and with the latest Paranoid Android update the screen on my nexus 4 is better as well!
I have a top of the line laptop and top of the line smartphone. Where does a dated tablet belong in this scenario? Maybe I could use it to watch Dragon Ball Z at the gym. Or load it up with porn and use it as a mobile fap station.
I think I'm just going to sell it, what do you guys think I could get for it? It's a mint 32gb wifi model.
Thanks a ton XDA!

You can't compare a phone with a tablet, but still I understand what you mean. The Nexus 7 is a value for money tablet with feature pack functionalities, but the screen is not up to par.

Why not use it for porn? Sounds fine to me. 7 inches is a usable size for anything sex-related (badum-tish)

the nexus 7 is much better for gaming(especially tegra optimized games) then the nexus 4.

dont think theres anything right now the adreno 320 can't handle. i mean come on, the unreal engine demo (epic citadel) ran on 60 fps on the N4. so it doesn't really make any difference. and the screen on the nexus 4 is significantly better than on the nexus 7.

My mate ran the spiderman man game on his nexus 7 and it lagged slightly, yet on my nexus 4 smooth as butter, yet it lags with vice city maxed out, not hard lag but in high intensity areas

But a lot of games are optimized for tegra and have added effects and graphics. I don't think he meant that it can't handle it, the nexus 4 is way more powerful. But games look better on the nexus 7.

Maybe wait for 4.2.2, because 4.2 runs like crap on Nexus 7.

I've noticed too that I'm not using my N7 much since I got the N4. For me though, it's more of a convenience thing. I kept close tabs on where the tablet was before I got the N4, but now I'm not caring as much where my wife leaves it.

I absolutely despised the N7. Hated the screen, headphone out sound quality, and the build quality. I bought an iPad for my tablet needs. Most of the time you get what you pay for with the Nexus 4 being an exception. It's a sweet piece of hardware that's definitely under priced.

The Adreno 320 is way faster than Tegra 3, that's not the point. Gaming is still better on a tablet than a phone. Unless you have to tilt the device a lot .

What phone compliments the nexus 7

Currently using an iPhone 4s alongside my nexus 7, OK its nice to have best of both world type devices, but I would like to use my nexus to be able to use mighty text type apps so I think its time to grab another android phone, got an option locally a guy wants to swap his galaxy note, but I'm thinking this is pretty close in size, what would you recommend?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Galaxy Nexus all the way. The Nexus 4 is too fragile and not worth the hassle in my opinion. Sure it has a quad core processor and 2Gb of RAM, but honestly.. who uses that on a phone.

I would recommend the HTC One X, but seriously... After some of the stuff HTC have been doing nowadays, I struggle to recommend HTC.

I have an original GNote and can't imagine having any thing else. There is a bigger difference in size then you would think.
And remember "When you go Note, 4 inches is a joke".
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I am finding N4 compliments N7 greatly. Basically you get some great raw power on both devices, but the tegra in the N7 give way for different, but complimentary usage. Tegra exclusive games run with great power, while N4 runs non tegra with even greater power.
Maybe it was a design decision so that both devices have equal usage. XD
Well screen size is also a factor. I am not so interested in watching video on the N4. Still I find myself using both devices at once a lot. N7 definitely being the couch/bed lazy movie viewing device.

LG Nexus 5 is a comin

OK so looks like LG and Google are at it again. I don't even care at this point, either a Moto nexus for probably more money or LG at same price point. Most likely it is LG at this point and we lose the snap 800 in g2 but get the rest.

This is just a made up report based on zero facts. Just like the Moto Nexus rumor. Until there is some real insider information, I wouldn't pay any attention to these rumors.

The thing about a "rumor" is anyone can say whatever they want and claim no responsibility if they are wrong. Being there are about 5 different "next" nexus rumors in this forum, most of these are just brain children of their authors.
Personally, I take everything with a spoonful of salt until Google announces the device.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4

Sounds familiar...

The G2 is to big
I like how much space is covered by the screen, but the overall size of the phone is to huge in my opinion. Maybe better a 5" screen?
Everything else sounds great for the same price of the N4. But 32GB would be nice.
Buttons on the side are a must. Those back Button are strange.

Isn't there a thread already talking about LG and the rumors about the Nexus 5? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2396728

Who cares if it lacks Snapdragon 800 the 600 also includes the hardware necessary for always on listening. Nexus has never been about the absolute bleeding edge processors anyways.

The Atrix was released about 2 months after the Optimus 2X. I actually had an O2X, worst phone I ever had. ****ty software support as well, took LG well over a year to release ICS, and even then, it was buggy as sh*t etc. Hardware was decent though :laugh:

I'd rather have Motorola get a chance to build a Nexus phone with the Moto X design.

At least they release it, moto abandoned us

IMO Moto X design and size is great, but unfortunately everything else is dissapointment. I would like to see next Nexus will have similar design to Moto X, but better CPU (Snapdragon 600 or 800), and better body materials (Kevlar instead on Moto X's plastic).

Please discuss further in the existing Nexus 5 thread

I'll sneak in here among the hail of bullets Samsung is receiving to shoot my praise.

I haven't used a Samsung device in over a year (S2). I've been using the HTC One since last April. A great phone, I've been satisfied with it now than any other so far. However I'm looking for a change now, and the S5 looks perfect. I am super excited to get it!
My biggest gripes with the One was the non-removable battery firstly, and lack of water/dust proofing. Everything else about it is awesome. I'm glad the S5 can take care of those issues for me.

The removable battery is the ONLY thing that would make me consider S5 over the rest. But honestly, if you're on an S4 already, I see absolutely no reason to upgrade.
I've owned the S1, S2, S3, and S4, and each iteration brought big enough leaps that warranted a year over year upgrade (better GPS, bigger screen + higher resolution, significantly faster, etc). Unless you're on a Galaxy device older than an S4, there really is nothing new here.

Everybody is expecting miracles but let's remember one fact: iPhone 4,4s,5,5s all use the same design. And we are talking about 4 years of development,right? I think Samsung has offered a step forward with S5 from 3 points of view: best processor at the time, ip67, and ( o dp really hope) the best camera in a smarphone. I just hoped for 3 gb of ram and minimum 32 Gb internal.
