I've been Thinking of switching to Android from symbian..., but confused b/w LG P500 And Samsung Gio..., Guys please give some suggestions..., main confusion is LG P500 have 600mhz (MSM7227) with 419MB RAM where as Gio have 800mhz (MSM7227-1 Turbo) with 278MB User RAM, Which one should i buy?
Thanks in advance....
Well I have Optimus One with Custom ROM installed and also overcloacked (CPU bootsted) to 806 mHz, but can't say anything about Gio. although Optimus One is a great phone for its price if you consider that too.
Optimus one i think is better..

LG Optimus One P500
I got the LG Optimus one. I got it at a good deal, and at the time I bought it, the Galaxy Gio wasnt available. It was out on the market, but not at the shop. I decided on the Optimus One over the Galaxy Cooper. The cooper looked nicer, and had more pleasing aspects, however I read that the Cooper's battery wasn't as good as could be, and that the Optimus' battery was among the best out there. I am very happy with my choice, however I do not know anyone with a Cooper to compare. My buddy is going to buy the Gio. Again, it seems more aesthetically pleasing than the Optimus one, but speaking from experience, I do know that the Optimus one is reliable, good looking, and runs great while rooted/with mods.
So the question is, which one did you buy?
Well, my friend bought his galaxy gio today. It is a bit of a pain in the butt to get kies installed and everything up and running. We are also having a problem with the power control drop down menu. it isnt showing the data packet icon, and the one in the widget menu doesn't either. Also the menu system isn't as nice as the LG's. It reminds me of an OVI system because of its set up.
Basically it is a nice phone, but I prefer my LG more.
Here are some Spec comparisons of the Lg Optimus One and Samsung Galaxy Gio
LG Optimus One
-TFT screen, 256K colors
-600MHz Processor
-Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g
-3.15MP Camera [email protected]
-512 MB RAM
-170 MB Storage
Samsung Galaxy Gio
- TFT screen,16M colors
-800MHz processor
-Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
-3.15MP Camera [email protected]
-278 MB RAM
-158 MB storage
These are the MAIN differences between the LG Optimus One and the Samsung Galaxy Gio. In my opinoin, I would get the Optimus One, because the XDA community is WAY bigger and the phone is more dev friendly. Hope this makes it easer! Thanks.
my phone is O1, I think I would take O1 over Galaxy Gio as well....If Galaxy Ace's price is not too much higher than O1, then maybe you can consider Ace. But I think one of the major factor you need to consider is the O1 XDA dev community is very active, not too sure about Ace.

Please users, tell me which phone is better. I wanna buy one of these 2 phones.
I wanna use it mainly for graphics, apps to sd, root, custom roms, and games. Emulators too. Also can someone confirm how is psx4droid, n64oid and nds4droid working?
I documented myself and found that lg optimus one has 2.3, bigger screen, but 600 mhz, and optimus me has 800 mhz.
Plz respond quickly, the offer ends tomorrow, and i'm gonna buy it tomorrow night!
Definetly Optimus One. I didn't find anything about Me CPU, but I storngly believe that it is the same 600 mHz. also Optimus One still does not have oficial 2.3 upgrade, but there ar some custom ROMs. I recommend you Optimus One form these two phones
Get a LG O1,its just great...
Been using it for about a month now running on CM7 overclocked to 768 Max and 600 Min.
Runs like heaven..Plus u got lots of custom roms to choose from...
Comparison
Hi there, I'd like to ask the same Q... What's their processor speed, do they support multitouch, etc.
Which one has a better res. screen, what are your experiences...?
I'd just like to know since there isn't a very decent comparison on the internet...

Guys. I want to have a new used phone..
What to choose?
Samsung Nexus S, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire HD..
Or any phone used to about 300€
go for galaxy s i9000 ... but then galaxy s feels slower too these days! i recommend galaxy s II or motorola atrix
to save repeating myself, see this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17487969&postcount=9
So what to choose?.. I don´t want HD2 as far as Adreno 200 is too slow

??[in bold] and the hd2 is certainly not too slow, it runs mango as fast as a native device and bliss sense 3.5 works sweetly on there.
Its a cheap device too running it at £150 max for a good second hand device.
Up to you
I want Desire HD. I want Android on it not WP7. Also Sense 3.0.
Adreno 200 = Graphics Chip
hey all i am planning to buy a new android phone, and my history is a wildfire(cm7.1) which i sold, and i am currently owning an htc hd7( with xboxmod rom). and i am not that much happy with windows 7 phone( and cant find any android rom for it).
so.......
well i am planning to sell hd7 and buy an android phone.
i am confused with a lot of android phones around, so i decided to ask you people.
my specifations are..
1) hdpi screen 800*480
2) 1 or 1.2 ghz chipset( qualacom or tegra??) with a min 512 mb ram
3)good gpu,( i dont play that much, but like to make apps and graphics faster)
4) blue tooth 2 or 2.1 with a2dp.
5)some internal memory( 512mb - 2gb range) and mor than 8gb external micro sd support.
6) wifi b/g/(if i can get then n too)
7) good hsdpa speed( i mean 3g)
8)and all sensors needed for android device( we can omit gyro)
9) 5mp cam with 720p video rec( i have sonyericsson c905 for photo, lol 8mp cybershot phone).
10) a good battery life( like 4-5 hours calling/browsing in 2g or 3g, 5-8 hrs video/audio playback, and i really care about audio quality through headphones, it needs to be good)
these are my hardware spec, now my software spec are..
1) i should be able to load honeycomb( if a rom is available for the device), and may be upto icecream sandwich( little overkill??)
2) easily bootloader unlockable and rootable( i dont want to pay for it)
3) i need the best roms to be loaded into it( like cm, miui, etc and i never care for stock roms, as we can flash anything to it.)
4) multi bootable( if i get some thing like hd2 or so??, ) well its not a need, but if i can have it, then i am ok.
i like to have a htc( top priority), sonyericsson, or samsung device. well probably a phone with top spec in a middle class budget ( some thing that cost like htc desire S.). nop i am not going after latest workstations with tegra 2 cpu 1.2 or 1.4 ghz. which costs a lot money
what are your options?? does it worth to by the "old legend" HTC HD2? or you have better options?
Which problem is with HD7 ??
I'd recommend the Galaxy S II, it meets the majority of your requirements and should get an ICS official update soon
Galaxy S II my man. Everything you need. It will be with T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T.
1. 2.3 Gingerbread OS, up-gradable to ISC
2. 4.3 Super AMOLED screen with 1080p recording
3. 1.2GHz dual-core
4. 18 hr talk time battery
5. 1Gb Ram, 32Gb Internal memory with up to 32Gb memory slot
and more...
Click the thank you button and show me some love and that I helped.
Good luck
all about s2.. but dudes i am personaly an htc fan, though i also accept sonyericsson. but not thatmuch used with samsung.. coz, in the hardware respect, i have seen that htc have much more classy finish and are quite problem free.. also samsung is a newer in android / smartphone market, where as htc has proven their lagency in smatphone market. so pls pick an htc device. what about dezire hd?
I would suggest the HTC EVO 3D or the HTC sensation XL all the way....
If you want to save some money, then I would go for the Desire S.

Oh! Ok, I also I like the HTC's android devices. The latest and fastest HTC are.
1. HTC Rezound (Verizon)
2. HTC Vivid (AT&T)
3. HTC Amaze (T-mobile)
4. HTC Evo Design (Sprint)
These are the latest and fastest with alot of memory HTC phones.
Take the Galaxy S 2 or the Galaxy Nexus. For a cheap and good for modding take the galaxy si9000

What are it's nearest competitors (when considering price range - processor power)

Galaxy R (Dual-core 1Ghz ARM-Cortex A8/9 with Tegra 2)
LG Optimus 2x (This one is obvious)
Motorola Defy (I think it's not sold anymore - TI OMAP 3630 Dual-core 800Mhz with PowerVR SGX530)
Galaxy S Advance (Not very sure about phone specs)
Nokia Lumia 808 Pureview (Don't get me started)
Herpderp Defy.
Thanks man. Had a quick look at your suggestions:
R is bigger (i personally find Ace size optimal for a phone rather than PDA) and more expensive (another £60), so the Ace2 = more bang for buck.
Optimus, very similar, better spec(?) - dislike the 4 hardbuttons layout.
S Advance appears to have 1ghz dual core. But at this stage looks like a 295£ phone.
Wouldn't touch a Nokia smartphone.
Ace 2 it is then!
The new acepta Its really Cool !! ;D

The 2x is almost similar to the R , with Tegra 2 as well
Herpderp Defy.
More suggestions:
Samsung Galaxy W (Probably a smaller version of Note)
Galaxy Note (Quite huge)
Galaxy SII (everyone's favourite)
Galaxy Ace Plus (LOL it's not that bad)
HTC Sensation XE/XL (XE = beats , XL = bigger screen)
HTC Edge (is it out yet ? Lol)
Motorola Defy+ (An upgraded version of my phone)
The badass Xiaomi phone (LOL)
Samsung Focus S (WP7 variant of SII)
Herpderp Defy.
Note really is massive.
W is a good equivalent, but prefer dual-core.
Sensation is another 100£ more. S II another 200£
Edge seemingly not available yet.
Xiaomi doesn't look too bad at all!!! - http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/27/xiaomi-phone-review/
Defy+ 4 buttons, sorry just not for me.
Ace + should be Ace pointless.
Focus S is a Windows phone...aka yuck.
Sony solo. 3.7 bravia screen. 1ghz dual core. 5mp camera. Floating touch (just move your finger over the screen). Will get ics.

Solo or Sola? http://mobilesyrup.com/2012/03/13/sony-makes-the-xperia-sola-official/
1gig dual-core with a 1350mah battery sounds...interesting.
And guess what....this is a succesor season.S2 gets a successor--The samsung Galaxy S3...behold.The 1.8 Ghz Quad core processor phone...Now available as pre-order:
The Galaxy S III will come with a 4.6-inch Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1280. This means a ‘retina’ quality pixel density of 319ppi.Specifications include an Exynos 4212 quad-core 1.8GHz processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB of internal storage, a 12MP rear facing camera, a 2MP front facing camera and 4G LTE connectivity.It will also have version 4.0 of Samsung’s TouchWiz interface and we understand that it will run Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
My ACE is better than all phones
Other phones sucks! GO AHEAD GALAXY ACE!
Hi
I guys planning on moving to SIII but then I saw Optimus G, despite having the resolution that no LG again..I kind of like it. What are your reviews and thoughts. Thanks for your time.
Optimus G is a very good phone.. but LG's support , sucks..!
even now despite it's a flagship for lg, it's still on 4.1..!
if you don't care 16Gb of storage, go to nexus.. it's the best..! (already got 4.3!!!)
Optimus G for sure better than S3 and even better than Nexus 4
if you can afford Optimus G Pro that would be awesome it runs snapdragon 600 at 1.7 cpu with true HD screen 1080p
the only phone that has 1080p screen at that 5.5 inch screen
the choice is yours

Snapdragon 600 is shocking powerful, that's for sure. I have Motorola Droid RAZR M (which has Snapdragon S4+ MSM8960) and have thrown anything that will choke my LG Thrill 4G and Galaxy Captivate Glide, including Nintendo 64 emulator, it took it like a champ. It's mind-blowing. Krait CPU's a 7-issues, 11-stages superscalar out-of-order processor, basically a custom version of Cortex A15.
And not only that, there's a superscalar GPU (Adreno 225 and beyond) with multiple superscalar shader issues, which you will have big advantages in 3D gaming, HD video processing AND general-purpose supercomputing (OpenCL).
Yet, it's up to you. There are plentiful of Snapdragon S4+ and S4 Pro (including 600, 800) - based smartphones, including RAZR M.
