I know that Galaxy S II is superior than Galaxy S Plus and since i bought galaxy s plus instead of II, i feel kind of bad even though Galaxy S Plus is an amazingly fast device but i still feel bad about not buying a Galaxy S II. Can you comment on this a bit....i mean i had to pay about 120$ more for Galaxy S II which i didn't...was it a bad deal?
I would say yes...
although the galaxy plus has a bit better hard, it lacks the community.
The normal galaxy s roms dont all work on the plus because of different hardware...
I would not say bad as the plus it's a great smartphone now, but the SII represents the future (Dual core). now they might have similar results, but sooner or later the difference in hardware will be noticed. Also, as Dark3n said, it doesn't have a big comunity (at least for now) :S

I know there was a similar thread to this topic, but the thread was 9 days old and to me that's a big difference imo. So anyway, I'm stuck choosing either the samsung s2 or the htc amaze (both phones are the tmobile branded fyi) and i really like the build quality of the amaze and i heard the camera is better the s2 but i like the processor on the s2 even though the amaze has the same thing but the speed is almost similar and both of these phone way faster than my current phone (iphone 3g lol) and the screen of the s2 looks great but the amaze screen has more pixels. So right now i some advice on which phone is better, and please have some reason with your post, i dont want just a simple answer
samgung GSII is one of the best phones ever made. compare the specs list, look at some user reviews. i don't know the exact specs, so i can't say for why without a possible very large margin of error, but i do know the GSII is a better device.
These questions are always tricky, as much as you would hate to hear it, it comes down to personal preference..
Looking spec wise the processor of the Amaze is slightly faster (1.5ghz dual core vs 1.2ghz dual core) - The memory of the S2 can be exanded whereas I don't think the Amaze can be - Camera/Video quality is the same - Both have NFC support (Which is the next era of technology in my opinion) and the Amaze is being shipped with Gingerbread 2.3.4 I believe..
Sooo If you are looking spec wise and want the latest and greatest I would have to suggest the Amaze, I would prefer the S2 myself because all though it isn't quite as fast 1) I wouldn't notice the .3 ghz difference and 2) I prefer the squarer shape of the S2 as well as it being quite a lot lighter (Amaze=170grams vs S2 = 110grams).. But again that is my personal preference.. Heck I'm saving up to get a Nokia N9 over the S2, that's saying a few things about me.
Hope this has been of use,

im leaning towards the s2 and i was talking about the tmobile branded s2 not the international but thanks anyway
Why do you want the Nokia N9? Looked at the specs, doesnt look way better than the SGSII, am i missing the point?
Here are my thoughts:
-The Galaxy S II has a faster processor, running at 1.2ghz (Dual-Core). Overclockable (and stable) at 1.6ghz using a custom kernel here.
-The Galaxy S II has an AMAZING camera. VERY high quality and life-like. It's great!
-The Galaxy S II has the SAMOLD+ screen, which looks absolutely amazing. Simply put, extremely nice. When displaying the same picture on the Galaxy S II and the iPhone 4, the Galaxy S II just BLOWS the IP4(S) out of the water - not to mention it helps improve battery life.
-You should be safe if you drop the Galaxy S II: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elKxgsrJFhw
I looked at the specs of both galaxy S II and iphone 4s. Seems to me that iphone is much better. I have a captivate myself and plan to upgrade soon as well. If you have time, wait for something better to come along soon near thanksgiving or xmas break.
I like both tablets for their size and capabilities, but which one will get more development? Thats major for me. Also, how is the PLS displays? Ive never owned anything with a PLS, but Ive had an IPS Nook Color and I thought that was great.
Galaxy tab: Plus or 2?
Which one will have better development support is hard to say. Basically I think, it depends of which is going to be sell better. Will the Galaxy Tab be retired or is it going to be sold along with the Tab 2 Plus?
If I had to buy one, I would probably buy the Tab 2: cheaper and it already has ICS. The extra .2 Ghz is worth only if you use demanding apps (games) and even so, may be is not that bad (the Tab 10.1 has 1Ghz processor).
I own a Tab Plus and I have no complains with the screen.
I too am trying to make this decision. I just bought my 7.0 plus and now see the 2 is announced. I can still return my plus. Besides a smaller price and ICS, I really dont see much of a difference. If my 7.0 plus gets ICS, then Im not sure I can justify the time to set everything up again.
I'm a contented 7plus owner, but I was in the Erie, PA Best Buy today and there were 5 boxes locked up with the box clearly printed on the side with Galaxy Tab 2 and 7.0 in smaller text on the line below it. The employee said they had just arrived and they didn't have one on display. I was in a hurry so I didn't look into it further.
Im buying the Tab PLUS but I'm waiting for the Tab 2 to drop because I want to see how the Tab PLUS are affected pricewise. Even though the Tab 2 is priced well, its gimped. It has TI OMAP processor and PowerVR SGX540 GPU. The exynos and mali is superior in every single benchmark I've seen online. The only upside for the Tab 2 is that it is ICS out of the box, thats it, everything else is inferior to the PLUS. I've done a lot of researching with both and came to the conclusion that it is worth paying a little more for the PLUS. I'm hoping that when the Tab 2 releases, a bunch of uninformed people sell their PLUS for cheap, or the PLUS gets a price drop.
I would go with the Tab 2 because it's much cheaper. The only reason why I would choice the Tab Plus instead of the Tab 2 is that it has a much powerful processor. The Exynos beats the OMAP in almost every single department
Spec-wise the 7 plus seems to be better especially at a similar price as the Tab 2. My only consideration of going with the Tab 2 is that I'm a flash-aholic and dev support seems better.
Still thinking 7 Plus with ICS now and JB someday.
Other things I should be considering?
Thanks.
I have never seen XDA Members so un-opinionated.
I got the canadian version of galaxy tab 7 plus in febulary 2012 and I bough the second one for my wife!
it is almost the same device except a slower processor and no flash for low-light photos. Tested for the two devices are both very good, but if a lot of photos of the evening more tab may be regarded as a test shows a slight difference (slower for the second)
7 plus is a better tablet over all...
faster cpu..
.much faster gpu(tab 2 uses galaxy s1 gpu vs tab plus galaxy s2 gpu).if you play games(heavy 3d ones especially like gamelofts) the mali 400 insinde the 7 plus is much better ...
..flash..
.2mp front camera...if you use skype a lot this will help..
now that tab 7 plus will get (someday) jb,..in my opinion is a much better choice for the same price...
hope that helps
Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Guys, I am planning to buy a android next month, shortlisted my choice between Galaxy S III mini and Galaxy S II. S III mini is priced slightly higher(according to leaks) while comparing with S II despite small screen. Any suggestion?
Gs2 it's better, in all. Better processor, better screen, better camera and it is always supported by the community

You can really just flip a coin to choose (assuming you can find a 3 sided coin). G3 has the bigger screen and best scree-to-size ratio and probably the best camera. It has the benefit of SD card slot and removable battery, but no waterproofness, which the other 2 have. With Samsung you're stuck with TouchWiz and a GB less RAM, so it won't perform as well in real-life (meaning outside of synthetic benchmarks). The Sony has the best battery life, but without the removable battery, and the front facing speakers are great for media consumption.
1. Z3
2.LG G3
3.Samsung Galaxy S5

Well it depends on what you want, but if photos matter to you choose the Note 4.
Just in case look at this comparation and think what do you need more. http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4,LG-G3/phones/8577,8347
Hi
Sony Xperia z3 is best phone.
Gotta go with LG G3
Good screen, decent battery life, good screen to body ratio, great speakers, good development
To not open another thread have similair question:
I am upgrading from Galaxy S3 and I have some options trough my provider which ensures me a cheaper deal and this are:
- Galaxy A5
- Galaxy S5
- Z3
- G3
I am leaning towards A5 since its metal and alot cheaper then other 3, but I heard it has bad CPU and can't switch battery, is it really that much worse then the others? Would an A5 even be considered an "upgrade" over my S3?
The Note 4 is the king of the phablets and the most powerful device on the current market. If you're considering it, it's truly a brilliant device.
The G3 is a flagship phone, the Note 4 is highest-end device. Comparing them isn't really fair, as Flagships aren't the highest end devices.

The A5 is almost identical to the S3. Not worth it, and indeed you can't change the battery. The A3 is a mid-low range device.
For the others it's a matter of preference. What features are most important to you?

Well I really like Note 4 but I am afraid it might be too big for me, I remember when I had the first Note, I was struggling to use it for let's say when I had to quickly make a call during driving or taking it out of pockets or such. To me tough most important is the battery life, good camera\video, no lagging - quickness of making calls. Note 4 kindof fits my description it's really perfect - but the size. If it was just a little bit smaller :\ I guess I might have to wait another month or two for the S6.
The Galaxy S5 is 5.1" and IP67 Certified aka it's waterproof, the others you mention don't have that kind of protection, USB3.0, removable battery, a better 16MP camera with OIS.
The 5.5" LG G3 doesn't have much development for custom ROMS (if I'm wrong, pls correct me) even though it has a bigger screen then the S5, and both supports microSDXC to 128GB and have Snapdragon 801 chips.
The Sony smartphone is a good device but again in my eyes, Sony fell behind and they're having a hard time coming back up.
I always tell users to look at the whole picture and if in doubt just walk into any store and personally test the forementioned devices you're inquiring about in your first post.
Hope this helps a little.
Sony Xperia is the best chocie according to me. Next Samsung S5 and then LG.
