Samsung Galaxy S 4G killer arrives! G2X

The phone has arrived here in USA:
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/cell-phone-detail.aspx?cell-phone=T-Mobile-G2x-with-Google
I guess it will be 10-15 days till I can actually use it
Super sweet
I say in 7 days I'll know the price

#1..... You're about 2 weeks late on this announcement.
#2.... This is an android development forum, not a gossip forum about other phones.
#3.... I'm super stoked about the g2x too, but let's take the conversation to the thread already started on the galaxy s 4g general forum.
Thanks!

1. wrong section. This is the Dev section.
2. This is a Galaxy S 4G forum.
Not trying to be a **** but it gets old reading about phones that have nothing to do with what I am here for.

Screw that phone. Ill stick with my phone which i can actually use the entire day without needing to carry around a spare battery or charger. From reading the lg optimus 2x forums apparently that phone has absolutely TERRIBLE battery life. I can understand why too, its using a 15000mah battery with hspa+ and dual core. Just look at the atrix, it has a 19000 mah battery and yet its battery life is close to our phone which is not impressive to begin with.

Why dont ya go and take your happy go lucky self over to the G2x side and get out of here ...
On a side note i did want that phone but down to basics our phone is better in many ways only thing we dont have is 2x cores and a HDMI port but our phone is from a better brand ... the SGS2 will eat the G2x alive ill bet on it...

G2X will kill Samsung Galaxy S 4G

Sure yall say the SGS4G is dead once the G2x comes out but with what facts?
Also if you are going to say that the G2x has 2x core fine you win that point... But you got to remember that the SGS line of blood that this phone comes from is almost a year old ... Screen wise we have a better one than the G2x... internal ram yea G2x may have more power... But i bet dev here in XDA will make magic... The final thing i got to say is beware of the SGS 2 with 1.2Ghz 2x core and there will be also a 3D version!
So G2x owners of just smack talkers ( i joke ) you may win this up coming battle but will win Wrestlemania! ( lol... )

I don't like the Samsung Galaxy S 4G
1) Bloat
2) no camera flash
3) little RAM
4) only 180 MB of internal memory
5) no custom kernels yet
The screen might be the only thing good plus the internet speed
The CPU is slow too

I don't care how good this thing is if its not amoled or better ill pass

Is there a BIG difference between AMOLED and standard screens? I would like to go to T-Mobile, and then see the difference between two devices. Which is a good T-Mobile device that doesn't has AMOLED?

I will say it again... the sgs4g is the best untill the HTC pyramid comes out.

im pretty sure the htc will kick the G2x's ass if it had one... just sayin.

1,3,4,5 = Fixed with new rom's.
2= Have you tried taking pictures with "night mode"? I would (and have) put this camera up against any camera phone w/flash any day (or night ).
And yes, IMHO, the screen is a huge improvement over similar phones. I held mine next to a mtg4g, HD7 and a g2, no comparison. Now idk about the newer phones.
I loved my Vibrant, and the sgs4g has everything I wished the Vibrant had ( -Bionix)

The G2X has 4.0 Inches, WVGA 16M Colors, TFT Capacitive Touchscreen I will go to T-Mobile and Verizon today and compare my phone with the other phones, see if I can see a big difference or not
Night mode sucks let's not be fanatics now, no flash = BAD PICTURES There is a reason why flash was invented there is no workaround for that
So let's keep this a matter of facts Flash is better than No Flash That's a fact

To infuse or not to infuse?

Currently using and loving my dell streak just curiouse how you infuse goers are enjoying your experience and Dec support Hearing the device Is smooth and it looks to have good support already. Curious about the current roms and what to expected from each, from reviews the infuse averages 1100 to 1300 on quadrant which is OK I guess I get around 2200 on my streak , just curious of the infuses speed on custom roms vs. Stock.
I'm asking because I have an upgrade and would enjoy a phone with good Dev suppprt
Thanks

Dell Streak 5 to Infuse convert here. Definitely worth the switch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

don't put too much faith in benchmarks. fun to compare but otherwise should be left to fine tuning settings and finding a devices strengths and weaknesses for figuring out how to best exploit its power for things like game programming . it has little relevance to every day activities.
the lowish benchmark numbers come from the slow file system and the somewhat poor floating point performance. I don't know how much floating point you run on you device (crunching numbers) but being that these processors have dedicated fpu's it is not a general measure of performance. qualcomm just has a better fpu. samsung has the best gpu. play h.264 movies @1080p on both devices and see which fairs better! with 2.3.3 the video decoding gets even faster increasing quadrant score by up to 1000 points as seen on my captivate beating even the xoom tablet with a score of over 3000 which is just as irrelevant as the infuse/streak quadrant comparison.

I might even skip the SGS2. Loving the phone and the big screen.

I also came from the Streak. The screen and camera quality are enough for me to never look back.

And another convert here. Very happy with the phone. Only thing I'm missing is the little extra screen size.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

I absolutely love my Infuse. The one thing that bothered me for about 5 days was the relatively low DPI of the screen, but between LCD Density tweaks and a new font... and perhaps just allowing my eyes to get used to it, I never notice the pixelation that plagued me at first.
EDIT: Oh, and to me the SGS2 would be a downgrade. Dual-core procs don't make up for a smaller screen.

If you're coming from the Dell Streak to the Infuse, not much difference except slightly faster processor and 1/2 an inch smaller screen. Battery life is the same. Samsung has it's Touch Whiz on top of android. However, rooting and unlocking this phone was easy.

Why would u compare quadrant from a stock infuse to a modded streak? Pointless.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

Ya i know my quadrant scores are pretty irrelevant even with my scores im sure the infuse is much smoother and faster even with lower scores? I think i might stop by my at&t store and check 1 out
Looks like there is 1 or 2 roms already what are your experiences with them? Any overclocking to come?
Thanks

Yea oc is on the way...and voodoo lagfix shoots the quadrant up to 1700-1900.

Not true. The Infuse's screen is superior to the Dell Streak's and so is the camera.

That's not even close to being right. I'm not overclocked and can't get over 775 and there is no way possible a OC to 1.5ghz can more than double that.

haha sounds a little buggy to me

844 running CM latest nightly no OC. Stock CM kernel.

832 running stock CM7 @ 190 density. No custom kernels.
My score was on par with what it said Sensations were. I've heard CM7 benchmarks are usually lower compared to straight stock roms.
This also seems to heavily rely on browser technology. I wonder if the SGS2 marks higher with its acceleration?

Yea, the hardware accelerated browser definitely helps. Whether anyone likes Samsung or not, they are proving to be the biggest innovator in Android today. Not to mention, since the Hummingbird was introduced, they have always had some of the best processors.
By the way, as I said in my previous post on here, the best I got on the stock Rom was 775.

Hmm. I think this benchmark has major issues. Under system info it claims the second cpu has zero as its speed but reads the first one correctly. I will try it out again after they fix dual core support.
Edit... looking a little closer explains the scores. It is a biased hack test produced by a rival chip maker.

Calm down everyone. It would not be the first time there was a bias in a benchmark. I played with it for three seconds, noticed it does not even recognize the second nvidia chip properly and said something about it. Now did Qualcomm just make a crappy benchmark or did they do it on purpose?
Why does it show zero for the speed of the second chip? That's all I wanted to know. Apparently you do not have the answer.

Rooted stock rom on my first run.

is it flawed? or i just have a magic tegra2

Of course it's a flawed test. Scores are all over the place. By the way...Don't act like this is the only flawed test out there. There pretty much all flawed right now since most of them don't know how to use the Sensations processor correctly. It's the only CPU that throttles down to a single core and most of the benchmarks are only using one of it's cores.

I feel outdated

I have had this phone for only a few months and I love it, but I get jealous when i see the new dual core phones like the Hercules come out, because I know that my phone is now below average with only a 1700 quadrant score
first world problems, I know

Install gb with dsextons tweaks and ext4. I hit 2888 yesterday with no overclock and 3976 with 1.5 oc.

Don't feel outdated... I have a MT4G and whether I'm running Sense 3.0, CM7 or MIUI any app opens in 1/10 of a second. And I have yet to find a game that slows my phone down. And yours has even a better processor than mine.
So dual core isn't much of a jump from high end single cores.

eHow does the camera suck? Who cares about ics? There's at least 5 different builds here. I beg to differ on the cores being utilized efficiently, now with the update everything runs pretty efficiently. Battery life will show that. Its so hard having grown up in the 1970's -1980's to understand how younger generations appreciate nothing and expect perfection. It has to do with the internets. When I got my Atari 2600 in 1980, I was sooooo happy with it. There was no forum to chew the Developers asses. Not to mention, its just rude. Could you imagine the 2600 being released today? 90% of ya would kill yourselves.

Well for one I care about the "benchmark shizz"
But its always been about how the phone runs. That's why they invented benchmark programs to score each phones performance so you can compare how the hardware/software combination you are using performs. Using that tool you can actually get a tangable number for each setup you run therefore giving you the higher number for higher performance. So think about what you say before you go contradicting yourself in public.

Why F*ck numbers? Pretty sure binary is numbers..... you got a bad attitude.
