x2 vs SGS2

Thought i should share my experience since i now have both sets of phones in my posesion.
I got the LG first,and did find it quite well "polished",felt nice to the touch and quite responsive.The feel of quality sure goes to the LG,hands down!But i had a feeling that the sw wasnt finished,it did reboot a couple of times for me.Had some "hangs"/"timeouts" during installation of apps and activating the camera.The GPS took forever to startup,but when active no complaints considering positioning.All games i tried (not so much,but Quake3 was a blast) never failed.
So,how did the SGS2 faired?
i have NEVER,and a really mean NEVER felt a phone so complete.Software wise that is!As mentioned before,the LG feel so much better in ur hand.The Amoled is a gem,its so smooth all around,and the gps is the best ive tried yet.Guess they learend theyr lesson,since the galaxy s was a joke (yes i had one).Gaming is a couple of steps behind Tegra2 devices at the time i guess.But i do think the Mali is up to the task once its more widespread.No FC´s,no reboots yet and no quirks thats pissing me off yet.And the Amoled screen then?,it is,in my personal opinion THE best on the market,though it could sure had a better resolution!!And the powerbutton on the right upper corner is a fail!
My 2 c

And in my country. The galaxy s2 costs 200$ more
Notvreally somethig that i can easily afford beingbjust a student.

Taking ur curency it did cost me around 100usd more for the SGS2,and i sure consider it worth it,though there might be someone not agreeing with me,i still feel that its the best buy yet.Its so good i have second thoughts flashing it

thanks for sharing your experience, i would like to try the phone also, so if someone wanna send me one im open for it

[Q] Would you buy a Tegra 3 device?

Hey everyone,
well since you all heard about the new devices of MWC '12,
would you buy one of these? (android phones.. not wp lol)
Many of them were Tegra 3 based and we all know that tegra 2 had a really bad support..
Would you maybe even buy another LG phone?
well nvidia+LG sucked really bad thats true..
but the hardware for the low price was a great point on the o2x..
maybe if nvidia is going to release their drivers (blahblahblah dreaming), LG wouldnt be a bad choice.
So.. again im asking, would you guys buy one of the new Tegra 3 devices?
Thanks in advance

Definitely no. Never Nvidia again.

You know what... I said that I wouldn't a few days ago, and my next phone would be an OMAP based device, but I reckon I would get a Tegra 3. They are a pain in the arse for not helping developers, but to be honest, I have found the stock based ROM's just fine for my usage in general.
My decision will likely be based on price/performance though, and if I can even afford a £400-600+ phone at the time (it's a bloody lot for a phone in my view).

Enough with LG.. the worst ever in smartphone.. we should have a 2.3.7 GB, instead V20q 2.3.4.. will buy Samsung Smartphone after this.. "the 1st worse dual core smartphone"

With respect, just because it's not the very latest release doesn't make it a bad phone. It's a very capable phone at present.
On the plus side, at least it got more support than the Optimus 3D *crazy*
But anyway.. it's off-topic, the question was about Tegra 3.

Mmhmhmm......NO!
i had too problem by july until a month ago with this stupid phone...
next phone will be an HTC,like my previus nexus one and htc magic(no problem and very good support for community),samsung use cheap and poor materials for their phones

After weeks of trying different ROMs just to get at least a good balance on battery duration, definately not. My new gadget now is the Galaxy Note

definitely no, i will stick with o2x for a while and buy ps vita for games. honestly wtf we need quad core and uber gpu in a phone beside few boring but graphic wise good games? it reminds me mpx hunt in the compact cameras market.

I don't think so. Tegra 2 is fast enough for me right now and probably years to come O2X is just awesome. Lots of ROMs to choose, that's super fine for me.
Tegra 3 is cool for games! Well, I'm not a mobile-phone-based gamer though

I dont think so. I will try to avoid LG and Nvidia, especially combined.

Nvidia again? No way! They don't help the community very well, and so i wont help them getting my money.

I'm not jumping on the hate bandwagon like everyone else, so yes I would buy one. ICS isn't out yet? Boohoo..

big O...
nOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I won't mind getting a tegra 3 device as long as this time it will be usable without rooting and flashing. The p990 has great hardware and subpar software, without CM7 I'd have tossed that thing out of a window already.
That being said I really hope nvidia comes to senses with their open-ness

OP, Y U NO put a poll?

And I mean, no nVidia *period*. I already got disappointed with computer hardware made by them, now it's AMD/ATi all the way

Never again if they are still so closed

For me there is no speaking of 'buying another LG' because I got this O2X as a gift.
I will buy the best smartphone that is out by september 2012 ('cause that is when my carrier subscription will end)

Hi Mungulz, what you call a hate bandwagon, others would call a consensus of opinion. XDA is primarily a site for devs, and users who like to go beyond stock, and make technology fit their needs, and not the other way round. So its not surprising that that bandwagon would like access to the hardware. In future I will avoid NVIDIA. Simply a matter of needs, not hate.
Have fun. Anil.
PS. There is no need to cry, the ICS bandwagon is out and already too far in the distance for you to see. Stay where you are, and in a few months the LG ICS bandwagon will arrive.

Definitely not. Who'd need a high-end phone anyway, unless you'll run office apps and compile a program on your phone, O2X is enough.

Not a chance, i wouldnt even keep it if given one id sell it and buy that new galaxy s3 i think its being called also quad core.

Should i go for galaxy nexus or htc one S? help guys.

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

Haha ya ;-)
Ya i am seeing reviews, blogs, youtube.
I am really confused :-\
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.

Ok now i feel better, most probably i will buy nexus now.
Snapdragon S3 is outdated :-/ and its issues.
Sadly, htc one s with snapdragon S4 is not avavilable in asia only for US.
Thanks!

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

Ok great!
Thanks for sharing this information!
No S4 are avavilable for asia only outdated S3 :-/
that's it most probably going for galaxy nexus.
Thanks again buddy

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 :/

Galaxy S2..if you have problem with gnex being larger..

Well go for gnex buddy. Htc disappinted with s3 for asia. Why not s3/ xperia s/ one x? Budget problem?
Sent from my Ace S

Better to go for HTC one s. It has dualcore processor with 1.5GHz. powerful battery. 1GB RAM. Its better than google nexus in these aspects.

Advice about the device

Hey everyone. I'm an Optimus Black owner and I want to exchange it for an O4X. Can anyone give some pros & cons about this device? And I have to say it, please put the "passion" aside and give some cold review.
Thanx in advance!

Well i havent had much experience with it yet, but i can tell you the screen is awesome, the build quality is almost perfect, the sound quality on headphones is good..loudspeaker is bad but unless you re an annoying 14 year old, you wouldnt listen to music on loudspeaker...you might have a little bit of an issue with the locked bootloader but a mod is already working on it and it is expected to be unlocked by late 2012/early 2013..so i read, and lg once replied to a customer (dutch) and said the 4.1 JB was due to be released in january 2013..but i think that was before the release of the optimus G o_o
I think that if you for some reason cant get your hands on a nexus 4 or a galaxy s3, you should go for the 4x :good:

About the display...I love the Optimus Black IPS display. You can use under the sunlight with no visual problems, that's one of the reason to stay with LG's phones. Unfortunately the N4 is not available in Brazil yet...so I can't have it. But it doesn't have SD expansion so it's not my first option. And yes, I have the O4X as option 'cause of the price. It's cheaper than S3 and GORGEOUS.

Yes. Try it and if you don't like it, sell it to someone else for the same or even higher price
BTW, I think the stock LG ROM kinda sucks, try flashing a custom ROM!
