I like my galaxy s. It has a very simplistic and minimalist design a real classic and perfect sized screen @4".
The gs3 is much of a muchness. I.e. great hardware tech but poor design actually to me it's an evolution of galaxy nexus.

From your name I'd assume you are from/in India! Can you please tell me where did you pre-order it?
I was waiting for a 4.8 inch phone with good sound quality from Samsung(just personal preference) n of course I'll get GS III. In case any of you followed Supercurio on Twitter, it seems GSIII also has a Wolfson 1811 audio chip, which Supercurio reckons is the best for high quality mobile audio. N that is the reason why I was stuck with Galaxy S n not upgraded to S II!!
Size is very much a personal preference, but for my use n hand size the 4.8 inch will be ideal to web browsing n video!!! (How do I know that, well I have tried Note n it was too big for me, n I have also tried my roomies 4.5" GS II Skyrocket n I reckon I can go .3" bigger than that !!

I think it is a great phone but it lacks RAM so i think it will not last many android updates.
Will wait for SGS4 :-D
I will buy some used i9100 after the SGS3 will be on most markets .... I think it will be best buy - really good phone and minimal investment ... and it is way better than sgs1
Just ordered my gs3, which according to o2 UK guarantees its delivery day after release. Won't hold my breath on that though lol.
Handset is free and bought my monthly payments down by £5. Only bugger is its a 2 year contract.

well for my concern i think i will go for a SGS2 since its allready lowering price where live or a Sony Xperia S since the GS2 has a 480x800 4.3 and the Xperia S has a 720x1280 (that or a GS nexus DOH! ...) or keep my GS till GSIII lower price ... or till i get a carrier action on it ... gahhhh to much to think .. overload ... reboot brain ... pfuuhh i guess i stick with my GS under 4.0.4 (currently switching thru 6 custom ICS roms that are allways on my micro SD ... and devil/semaphore kernel> devs make the GS totaly worth it ...

Im considering upgrading as phone contract is due up soon but £612 is cheapest price in uk with a 2 year contract so I may hold off for a while to see if price drops much. Still very much enjoying my i9000 with slimice rom.

I havent ordered one but the cheapest UK deal Ive seen is at buymobilephones, stock expected 30th May. Best mobile comparison site is http://www.comparemobiledeals.com/mobile-phones/Samsung/Galaxy-S3 Im considering waiting until Im in the US soon to see if I can pick one up a bit cheaper. Will need to be unlocked though which will no doubt be a bit more pricey. Havent made my mind up.

Thanks, I've been keeping an eye on the deals and trying to get my network to match the ones Ive seen. Often the best deals seem to be reserved for new customers (im currently with o2) but Ill try again tomorrow. Mobiles (which I think are owned by cpw) have a tempting deal on talkmobile 300 mins, unlimited texts, 1 gb data works out £30.71 per month but you gotta put a lotta cash upfront to buy the phone.
I may wait it out.
I would totally like to upgrate my SGS to a SGS3 but it's just too expensive!
I'll wait till the prices drop
i think il keep my galaxy s gt i9000 for another year....so long as it gets a good jellybean rom
Not too inclined to upgrade. I'm actually happy samsung didn't discard the home/touch buttons yet, i find this set of buttons perfect (the missing search one is useless anyway and i find it very practical to wake my phone from the frontal button). I'm not too thrilled about pentile but not gonna fuss about that, at least until i see it. I may yet change my mind when i see one but from the pictures i find the phone rather ugly - it's way too stretched/tall and that oval shape isn't working for me the least. That's kind of a dealbreaker if you think there are plenty of options playing in the same league showing up frequently and only more will come.
But what really breaks it for me is the fact my SGS is still plenty for just about anything i throw at it. There is little any other phone can do my SGS can't I'm referring to useful stuff, not talking about NFC no one uses yet and probably won't fly with people either. I also don't NEED my phone looking me in the eyes to not shut screen off, i can manage that much
All in all, the SGS is still a superb phone, battery lasts for the day, phone flies with the latest ICS custom roms (getting beter by the minute), boss-level audio quality, gorgeous screen with perfect size (i love reading, browse a lot and find it perfect), runs just about any game/app i throw at it (although i'm not even a phone-gamer), has a very decent camera (even without flash), brilliant bluetooth interface with my car (media streaming, loudspeaker, etc) is highly customized to my needs, i actually find it good looking AND can even place phone calls and sms's
So no, i will most likely not upgrade anything unless something completely unplanned happens.
I have a mere budget of 250 usd ie 15000 inr ... is it yet worth buying the google nexus one,? or would you suggest some other1 below 250$ ?
Thank you
imho No. that too 250usd for nexus one which is almost 2½ year old phone. surely nooo. i think u can find something better for 15k inr

Because Galaxy S isn't a good choice of a phone, with the main shortcomings being:
1) Crappy GPS (more or less slow fixation time, high positioning error).
2) Slow internal memory (EXT4 and other lagfix types don't help, it's just slow).
3) Flashing unfriendliness (stupid Samsung thing of sticking recovery into kernel).
Today there are much better options.
And why does official CM support matter? I'd say that for actual phone usage it's much more important to get one of the good overlays - whether HTC Sense or Samsung TouchWiz 4 (because 3 is slow). Bare Android is far from being sufficient for many use cases.
NEVER EVER EVER EVER BUY THE NEXUS ONE! Buy a Desire S, it's in your budget...
Hey guys:fingers-crossed:
Last summer I found this forum and had alot of fun with my Xperia Pro
Now I am looking for new phone, its been 4 months and still spending too much energy to find my perfect phone..
So, which from these phones u think is best to buy?
s2, s3 mini, s advance, optimus black, one S, xperia sola, arc S
It also need much-very much development
Thanks!
i suggest you a glaxy s2 , if u cant afford it then wait ,, otherwise you wont have a great device in that range of price

Camera is good with official ROM, not so good with CM based ROMS.
Rather see if you can get Nexus 4. It's in your price range (actually depends on where you are, availability and price differs from country to country) and much better than all your options your considering.
http://www.google.co.za/nexus/4/
Most of those phones you are considering have been on the market a while and the older the device the smaller the community and slower the development gets as people get newer phones. If I had to choose one of them I'd choose the One S, no questions asked. Much faster than the competition,has official JB and is still fairly new.
F*ck Samsung .
Buy Acer cloudmobile s500.
Low-price and high performance... just perfect .
HTC One S no doubt
best dual core, i mean..... cortex a15...maaannn.....that was fast........

Hey there! 1st, thanks for reply:cyclops:
Unfornatuely the Nexus 4 costs €600 here thats far above my budget, also I am looking for smaller sized phones.
I just came across the Desire X. It fits all my requirements only thing is that currently almost no development
Thats why I asked u guys u have experience and optimus black was my 1st choice. But how bout the camera, is it good? and speed? I also see theres alot of development on the Optimus black, the white one also looks sexy:good:

Why should I buy an unkown brand in the smartphone community? And I thoguht Sasmung is known for his good wuality cameras / phones
It has been a very good phone for me you know. It has been with me for about one and a half years and it has come over a car crash, fallen into a pool, dropped a lot of times and in one of those it fell from a 1st floor directly to the ground. I had to change the gorilla glass screen which was about 30 us dollars. It has been an adventure and it continues. Camera is not the best but as any other bad mobile camera, it takes very good full light photos. There is still a hell of a development going on. It is just as fast as 80% of optimus 2x stock if you are running zeus rom with cpu at 1350Mhz. Screen has enough brightness, everything is big and legible and we are having official stock ICS modded in some days, actually now. What else can i say? I am not marketing this phone but it is a good buy. If you are looking for a fond working phone this might be your choice, believe me. If you are looking for a fast like hell phone just dont look for LG OB. Hope Ive helped.

Sorry to hear that. It went for alot cheaper in some countries.
Desire X is a good choice HW wise. Not as good as the One S, but cheaper and doesn't have as big a screen. (The One S's graphics Chipset will run circles around all the other phones even the SGS2).
If you want a good community, look at previous flagship phones or really good for it's price phones of well known brands (Unknown brands tend to have much smaller communities).
This phone actually has a large Chinese community that doesn't interact with this forum much. I think I'm missing our sometimes since Google Translate can only do so much.
If you can afford it I would go for the One S.
Your Xperia Pro is on par with most of the other phones and I wouldn't pay money to get another similar phone. I don't think a upgrade is necessary actually.
I told ya.. best performance at that price :good: .
It`s released in September 2012, I guess that`s why there`s no developing topic in this community.
I guess they`ll add it to XDA soon, cause it`s a cool phone .
And it`s f*cking better than S2 .

High-end.If you don't mind waiting you could see if the Acer's development picks up before making your final choice.
When buying a phone second hand make sure it hasn't been tinkered and OC'ed and with HTC make sure it's still S-ON that way you know it hasn't been tinkered with.

Yes. I'm not sorry about it, but it's getting old. Quite a few great devs moved on already. Theres still plenty of skill and commitment here though and we might be getting official CM10.1 soon (G+ pictures from official dev has already been posted, but no nightlies appeared yet).
Lol....
No guys, its not the Htc one S.
I went back to Xperia P, again.Yes, first time I got it on summer but traded it for Xperia Pro. Now 4 months without smartphone and of research.. I REALLY regret I was so stupid! [at that time there wasnt any development]
I mean 8mp camera, dual core and handsome: the perfect phone!
Only thing is battery, isnt it replaceble with a 1750 li-on??
If you want long lasting battery, go witg Motorola Razr MAXX lol dunno if its in your price range though. But yeah One S looks superb. Hmm..

Hi guys
I hope you won't kill me, but I am a samsung boy. I had a Galaxy II and I was real pleased about it, until it got stolen. So it's time to pick a new phone. I have already read that the bootloader will be unlocked with the jelly bean update. Sadly I fear this might be only a rumour. So this leaves me with some questions.
Will the bootloader be unlocked?
Does this phone really contain lots of bugs?
Is this phone worth buying
Should I got to a Galaxy S3 or another phone
Thanks a lot
I loved my S2, fantastic phone!I upgraded to this phone, more on the fact it looks similar and I didnt like the look of the S3, its a good phone, but its a bit old hat now really, things change so quickly!
Neither do I. But I am curious if there might be other inspiring phones out there. Anyway.. the new upgrade of the SII is sadly enough just an embarrassment. Besides I was wondering if there were any other interesting phones arriving shortly. But I don't know about a lot about the bootloader, but I want my phone unlocked and bug free. I was kinda a flash-addict, and I do like this LG phone, The design, pricing and its hardware ofcourse. Still this phone hasn't received much love, so what should I do?
with my new CustoNexus port-rom, this model has suddenly gotten my interest back. So, i think its a good buy for the low cost you can find it for now comparing to a OneX when it was cheapest.
nexus4 or Optimus g is the only better alternative, comparing to SIII.

True But in this case, I don't want to limit my choice based only upon money. I do feel like getting the SIII, still the S4 might be just around the corner. If I buy this phone, I will have to used it for over a year and hopefully even more. Still I really need a smartphone and I want it to be excellent.
Your port is certainly a good solution to the dreadful UI made by LG. (I saw your rom already and it made me smile)
Still the future of this phone is quite unsure, so .. updates, bugs, .. bootloader, so tell me what should I do?
PS: I heard the display was great, can anyone confirm that?
Odp: [Q] [4HD]Good buy or bad buy
^ SGS3, lolnope, don't buy that piece of plastic! Buy 4X, it'll have JB and get unlocked soon (official CM10.1 is sure), or buy G... don't buy the phone with 1080p, it is just the waste of cash. HTC One X would be a good choice too, but if u want to play with custom roms without losing warranty, just choose O4X
@edit yes, it's the best screen after LG OG! And jelly bean update will solve most problems which exist now
@edit2 human's eye can't even see differences between 720 and 1080p (in phones, on tv u can see it ofc)
@edit3(lol) SGS2 is good phone imho, design is better than "three's", but i hate physical home menu in Samsung's phones.

I am quite unhandy and to be honest. .. I always whine about, NO NO MOVIE 1080p but honestly you can barely see the difference and I am sure this would be the case on a smartphone.

The only unsure thing in future is if LG will upgrade it to JB 4.2 or further. But it runs good even on ICS, and as Dexter said, only "better" system availible atm is the Snapdragon S4 Pro in Optimus G or Nexus 4.
The display is really great. I haven't done direct comparison to a SIII, but the 4X doesn't have burn-in thanks to IPS instead of AMOLED.
The bootloader unlock was confirmed by LG's Developers to a few users here. So it's still not official, but with LG nothing is official - you just get used to that after a while

No one wants to convince you into it. First of all this thread shouldn't exist. Hope at least the mods look in the Optimus 4X section.

Seriously, it's time for me to renew my phone - i9000 galaxy S
After browsing the web, moaning versus N4 unavailability - and no sd-card, no battery access - i'm really considering O4X.
Form factor, instead on GSIII
Price, compared the HTC One X+
Performances
Now the major drawback for me (seems i just discover there is a locked bootloader...)
- CM10.1 support
But God, for 350€, i'm sure this phone rocks.
Hey guys,
I'm going to buy a new device but now I need your thoughts on something. I'm going to buy a Galaxy S3 brand new or S3 LTE (4g) secondhanded. The major difference is that the LTE version has twice as much RAM as the original S3. Will I experience this with normal usage of phone, so no heavy games etc. Give me your thoughts guys.
Ps: Of course I will keep this device, everything for me started with this phone and now I want to see how far we can go with this phone.
To stay away from a lot of problems caused by low RAM, the standard of RAM amount in Android devices (look medium range) today is 1 GB. More RAM means more multitasking performance and no memory problems for heavy apps, going through Android system slowdown while RAM is almost full. With 1 GB you should be ok, but not away from possible risks, especially if you use "always open" apps like Facebook/Messenger, Whatsapp, Email, Exchange Services... With 2 GB you are totally out of RAM problems, also because in 2+ GB devices the Android's lowmemorykiller (it's mainly because of this when you have slowdowns in low RAM devices, Android tries to close apps to free memory but when it reach the point where cannot close other apps? Slowdown!) is almost not used anymore, it's present, but you will never reach the point where Android uses it. About LTE, if in your town there is it, you can take advantage of faster network speed.
My suggestion is to buy LTE version.
Now depends from you, if you want a brand-new device that in 6~8 months, especially after Android L came out, will do the end of Janice (look at slowdowns caused by low RAM amount) or buy used LTE version that has the double of RAM.
The future is always behind the door, technology has big news everyday, you buy a device today and tomorrow it's old. More time passes, more future apps will require and occupy more RAM, leaving away new Android versions from this speech

O man galaxy s 3
Another samsung crap most of s3 users are regreating go to gsm arena and see
If u have budget then only go for nexus 5 or 4
If u want midrange then go for moto g u will never regret after buying phone like this
galaxy s advance ****sung i have bought this crap in 22k when it released i am regreating everyday
No quality of hardware ( scratches everywhere within 2 years)
No quality of software ( we have alredy faced that)..
And s3 is big brother of this s advance so........ Think
Why you want a plastic feel? I don't like anymore samsung phones.It has plastic and doesn't have that premium design.So,my suggestion: buy Nexus or Xperia (i want to get xperia ZR because it have removable battery).You will get a premium design

Maybe with his budget can buy only S3 device.
All Samsung devices suck while original, just change ROM to see it become to fly fast like a rocket.
Nexus 4 is a good phone too but battery sucks
I think buying a samsung phone second-handed would fit the budget well and give you the benefit of a great battery performance. Just 'upgrade' to any custom rom asap.
The plastic and old fashion looks also have an advantage, if you drop your phone here and there quite a lot. Replacing a screen on a slimmer new gen unibody phone would cost you a fortune!
I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300, so 1 GB of ram) and runs so fast with a custom rom like cyanogenmod. About LTE version, I didn't test it.
Maybe Blu
What about a BLU brand, maybe a BLU Studio 5.0 C HD? I have not tried a BLU product but am impressed with the specs and the cost.
