I have a Galaxy 3 i5801 and a Galaxy SL i9003 and i have been thinking to buy a phone in replacement of Galaxy 3. I have a budget which of 20-25 thousand. I have two phones on my mind the LG Optimus 2x and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. Please help me. If you have any other suggestions please reply.
NEEDS:
I need a phone with good xda support.
It should support jellybean.
Get a phone made by google in case you need a jelly bean!!

Google has made companies support their phones for the next 3 update cycles (or something like that). However, this is valid only for post Q3 2011 phones and later. That's why I would recommend going for a recently released phone rather than the ones you mentioned.
If you want the ultimate developer support, as ronhoover suggested, go for a Google phone. Even the Nexus S is a great choice in this case.

for what price you replaced your phone and where?
can you please suggest us also, and how old was your galaxy 3..
The galaxy s2 with stock rom is not much better than the i9003 with modded in term of responsiveness, but after a custom kernel modded only it is ridiculously fast. Faster and smoother than anything I have tried.
9003 DXKP9 with UC non-OC v7 compared to Galaxy S2 DXKL3 with Siyah 2.6.3. Both on stock speed.
Oh my God!!!
Guys u will not believe this. Galaxy s2 recieved OFFICIAL ICS 4.0.3 over kies Here is news

Guys nothing like 'Galaxy Note'. It's the best ever made smart phone. It can even be called a mini tablet. It's available for 31k.
Buy galaxy 2

No my friend the GSII is by far the smoothest phone I've ever used, I had to choose between Note and the SII and the latter had more support on xda forums and more portable.
Downloading the 4.0.3 update now!

Why buy S2 now? Sure, its the best phone on the market right now and got ICS but its already "old"...
Wait a month or 2 and new, much better phones will appear and then you will regret getting the S2!

Hey, waiting never gonna end my dear. wait for two months some new phone shall be available. From there wait for two more months for further new versions...... So when buy just consider the best among the existing competitors.
As Ron said, he has already bought the one but still we may kepp this thread alive with suggetions for the guys who are deciding what's next?

But dude some times grabing a phone as soon as it's launched may also prove to be a blunder if it fails to prove itself in the market...lol
Hi all, previously I was decided to buy Samsung Galaxy Nexus
but due to some stupid reason (too expensive) by my parents which don't let me buy Samsung Galaxy Nexus
which need me get good result in order in order to buy new phone (any price that I want)
if now then the price is totally can't even get Samsung Galaxy S II
so, back to the question which is same as title
and since gonna got MWC event after 2days, and sure got new phone announce
and also for the upcoming Samsung own event on 15th March, which maybe announce Samsung Galaxy S III
at the end, is it worth to wait those phone that announce either in MWC / Samsung Galaxy S III (act it as got this phone)
but if wait also need wait to release, then those Samsung, HTC, LG, and other officially bring in to my country, which not the unit from other country which called as original set
so, let's say if I successfully convince my parents to let me buy Samsung Galaxy Nexus now because I eyeing since last year December
and when gonna buy, know the price and say too expensive, ask me to wait it to drop, lol even now Samsung Galaxy S II at my country also more expensive that the budget they set for me (although is using my own money to buy, but is my parents controlling my price)
if you are facing this situation, you choose to get the Samsung Galaxy Nexus now or wait those phone announce in MWC / Samsung own event which will at least wait few month to reach your country ???
*please vote then leave comment and tell me your reason
Thanks
I would wait to see what is at the MWC. Even if the phones aren't available in your country for a while you don't know if it's worth the wait until you see the phones.
normally will available in my country if those phone really is gsm model
i just ordered the white version of galaxy nexus. I did not wait for MWC 2012 as I think by the time I wait for new device release, there is another one coming up. So then should i wait for that upcoming device again?
also do you want the OS to update faster? Or you are willing to wait for manufacturer to comply their UI with the new OS?
IMO, i would say just go for the phone that you think it fits you mostly. I dont think Quad core CPU will do much much much more significant thing more than dual core CPU. I would focus more on the internal RAM because this is the part which handling the memory location storing the execution of tasks you requested the phone to do.
Just think of you got a quad core 3.2 Ghz CPU and only got 1 GB of RAM for your desktop.....How many programs you can execute and no need to wait.
this is just my opinion.

both also can, but off course get the phone with better spec is much better
for OS update faster, no idea since normally using custom ROM
as you say, will keep wait and wait is correct, and new device keep release = no need buy
but once s 3 really release / reach my country, i straight go and buy
if care more really no need buy already
bumpz for my thread
I would wait for the s3 or HTC one release,good luck

Try LG nexus 4. It is cheap compare to Galaxy Nexus with lots of hardware improvements..
I think Samsung Galaxy S3 is a awesome mobile phone. It's a costly mobile phone but big screen, nice camera, updated android operating system.
Actually galaxy nexus is good one coz there are more advantages if itz rooted(like flashing custom roms)
In my view Samsung is waste because almost all phones looks alike and user interface is also almost same. Prices may vary but features and interface is same. But nexus his its unique value though

What do you think ? Is it worth it to sell my S2 and buy a Nexus?
Nah. Wait till something better comes along, like the next nexus

I guess you want the nexus because it has jb right?
The next nexus will be much better, I'm also looking forward to it..
Swyped from my GT-i9100
If it's for JB, Sammy's already stated they're working on it for the S2 and S3. Obviously that could take quite a while knowing their reputation but CM10 will come to save the day. So you're not missing out with the S2. Not to mention the nexus hardware is a teeny bit outdated at the moment, you'll notice it. Personally, Id stick with the S2. It really is the better phone. Hope I helped
the Galaxy note 2 should be out shortly and that phone is going to be a BEAST.
I also have a galaxy s2 that I'm planning on selling but was thinking about keeping as a secondary and just dropping my insurance.
The plus is that you can probably get about $250 for the Galaxy s2 with your accessories if you sell now.
Samsung Galaxy SIII (SPH-L710)

I would only get a nexus if you wanted vanilla android right out the box. Personally, I think the S2 is the better phone. Better processor, camera, and it has an SD card slot.
The one thing I love about the nexus is the notification light being in the same location as the nexus one ..not a big deal but still kinda cool..
If You are Developer - only Nexus

From the introducing of Nexus brand by Google it became the phone of Developer.
I bought one in 2010 and am using it today.
I know that it is too old, but I love it.
My opinion - to get Nexus.
(maybe wait the the next model)
I'm thinking the same. I'm using SGS2 T989 now and really like pure Android OS. I'll wait for the next Google phone. In the meantime, I'll just wait for CM9/10 to be stable enough for my T989
Wait
Probably a good idea to wait for the next Nexus phone, maybe from Motorola this time?
Are you upgrading for the sake of upgrading or do you have a real need? I'm personally going to skip this generation as I see no need for a new phone
Im aggree with ez2.. Galaxy note 2 best!!

Sorry but the S3 is the best phone on the market at the time, and best place to purchase is on Amazon o eBay
There are zillion threads like this and always everybody jump to suggest Samsung Galaxy S3.
But actually I wouldn't buy it. The battery lasts ways less than S2. The S3 screen is bigger and for some people is nice to me makes the phone bulky and heavy.
I'd get an S2. It's cheaper, the CPU is 1.2 vs 1.5 from S3, battery lasts WAY MORE even though it has less mAh!! (which is the MOST important feature of a phone) and 1 GB RAM "ought to be enough for everybody".
A powerful phone means less battery and that means more frustration in the street with a phone that ran out of charge.

I think you can also install Jelly Bean on S3 several months later when an official ROM is produced. But HTC One X is also a good choice.

I also would go with the SGS3. The size isn't that much different from the SGS2 and all the reviews i've read said the battery life is good.

I agree with what you said, the galaxy S3 seems like the most logical choice. It is running android 4.1 and is the definitely one of the nicest looking and most functional phones out there.
Sony experia s.
LG Optimus 4X HD
Kinda like asking what the best color is, no? It's a very user specific question, every phone has a little something different. But I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 right now and absolutely loving it. So if the S3 is one of only a few choices, I'd go with it. Good luck!
