please help me through this problem,as both these are at comparable prices where i live,please dont suggest me about gettin galaxy s2 as that is way out of my range for the time being

Thanks

Captivate:
1GHz single core hummingbird (year old tech)
5MP rear camera (no front facing)
720p video capture
PowerVR SGX540 GPU (Corrected by Antigen)
16GB internal memory card
G2X
1GHz dual core tegra 2 (simply nothing comparable right now)
8MP rear camera
1.3MP front camera
1088p video capture
Tegra 2 Hardware Accelerator
HDMI mirroring (awesome feature)
8GB internal memory card (I have a 32GB external in mine, so I'm sitting with over 5GB of empty space on my internal memory card...so the extra 8GB of the captivate has no meaning for me, personally)
I have NO experience using the Captivate, so I can't help you with a comparison. But I can tell you that the G2X is the fastest phone with the most visually stunning graphics I've ever seen.
If you read this board, you'll read about some people that have had no problems with their g2x (I'm one of those), and others that have been plagued with problems. I dunno...for me, there's no question. I would buy this phone again if I had it to do over.

Visually stunning graphics as in video games?

Yes, high def games seem to run smoother and appear brighter than on other phones I've seen. Your experience may differ, as this is my opinion.

Also the galaxy s captivate only has a super amoled... not a plus. Big difference.
Also big diferences with a single core vs dual core.
Also galaxy s has no reliable GPS.
The galaxy s has a blue hue also which looks horrible despite the deep blacks.
G2x has its fair share of problems too but they are just software related. I would recommend either waiting for the g2x to be officially updated and re-released or just grab the latest CM7 build....
Or wait for the Galaxy S2 to hit AT&T

Well, dude, if I were you - I'd have read some stuff about the phone before suggesting your opinions to smb.
Captivate has no GPU? LoL
Correct: All Galaxy S series (t-mo, at&t, verizon) phones have a GPU. PowerVR SGX540. Actually it's on par with G2x's Tegra 2 Geforce ULV.

You're right, I'm an idiot. The Galaxy S does have the PowerVR SGX540 gpu.
I apologize for any harm done.
I still don't believe the Captivate's gaming abilities are on par with the G2X when you consider both performance and efficiency. However, it is a top-notch gpu, and I'll retract that argument in my post.
And as far as offering my opinion before reading up on the Captivate? First, yes, I admittedly posted 1 line of incorrect information. All of the other information in my post is 100% accurate. Second, if you took time to read for yourself, you will notice that I specifically stated that I had no experience using the Captivate, so I couldn't provide a comparison between the 2 phones. I only posted spec differences as they were listed on the phone service provider's website. Why did I hurt your feelings?

I work for ATT and personal think the captivate is garbage.
We nicknamed it the Craptivate.
CPU is slow comapred to Tegra 2. Hell the hummingbird seemed slow compaired to the Snapdragon 1GHZ
Captivates camera sucks and has no flash
Touchwiz (samsungs skin) sucks
captivates GPS SUCKS
Captivate is 3G G2X is 4G
Super AMOLED has nice blacks but horrible whites.
If your looking at an ATT phone look at the Infuse 4G.
I currently have the G2x and the Infuse 4G. I like the G2x much better.
The Infuse 4G is pretty cool. And i hear the Galaxys S2 is pretty awesome.
But for the most part i dont think Samsung has put out a good phone since their Flipphones back in the late 90's early 00's

@OP
I have the G2x (or rather the Optimus 2x, same phone p-999 only it isnt T-mo branded)
A friend of mine has the Captivate and its no contest. Go with the G2x.
G2x has a better build (if you can find one without light bleed issues) and a much better feel in the hand compared to the Captivate.
Tegra 2 is a beast. I come from the Nexus One and then the Nexus S and i can assure you that the G2x blows those two pure google phones out of the water simply due to the Tegra.
Also, I have a Sensation 4G I'm playing around with to see if i should sell the G2x and right now im heavily in favour of the G2x simply because it is rooted and i've got custom kernels and ROMs on it. In fact I am only waiting this week for HTC to come clean with the bootloader before i sell it (temp-root isnt cutting it for me).
The G2x has a better screen and the Tegra is way better at processing multimedia than the Snapdragon (Google Maps app loads and processes map data 3 to 5 seconds faster on the 1GHZ Tegra than on the 1.2 GHZ Snapdragon).
Get a G2x, youre not going to regret it.

I would definitely go with the G2x. I've owned a Vibrant (which is very identical to the Captivate) and it has GPS issues which the Captivate is known for having also and the software has a great amount of lag unless you root it and install VOODOO LAG FIX. The Vibrant was a great phone once rooted minus the GPS. Just to be fair I can almost bet you money that if you post this in the Captivate forum (if you haven't already done so) that even Captivate owners would say the G2x is the better phone out of the two. We have the hardware to support just about any software android throws at us in the future. This phone is almost future proof.

Would you help me to male the right choice?

Would you please help me to make the best choice?
Hello Guys! How is it going? I'm a newbie here and i'm quite confused about the next phone that i'm gonna get.
The phones i choosed are the next:
Motorola Atrix 2 (1gb dual channel ram, 8mp, FullHD recording with single led flash, android 2.3.5 with Motorola's custom UI, 8 GB internal storage, Full qHD 540x960 resolution with 4.3" capacitive Multitouchscreen TFT LCD Screen with Corning gorilla glass, VGA Front facing camera, strong battery life with 1785mAh, TI OMAP 4430 with dual 1GHz processor and Power SGX540 GPU)
Its $850 dollards with 90 day of warranty, originally came from ATT from usa, sim free.
In the other side the Samsung Galaxy SII (4.3" Super AMOLED Plus with Corning Gorilla Glass capacitive Multitouchscreen, WVGA 480x800 resolution, 1GB of Single channel RAM, 16 GB of internal Storage, Android 2.3.3 with TouchWiz 4.0, 8MP Camera with single LED Flash, FullHD video recording, it has a Dual 1.2GHz Exynos Processor from SAMSUNG with MALI-400MP GPU, 1650 mAh Battery, 2.0 mp Front Facing Camera, Very thin by the way..
It's $594 dollards with 1 Year Full official warranty with Rovery secure.
The atrix is a HSPA+ Capable, both have 3G, 32GB Memory card support, Atrix has HDMI output and webtop support, SAMSUNG Offers possibility to read external storage devices and usb hubs with usb cable.
I'm worried about overheating, and its harware resistance
Wich one would you say that i should go with?
Thanks for your help, by te way i'm Argentinian, i live in the south of America.
Thats not an important fact but will male you understand why do i write english that bad.
I actually own a Motorola Defy and i Like it, never tried Samsung, however theres about 250 dollars of difference in the middle, dont want to waste more for something worst.. thank y!ou

Your focus should be on software updates
Your focus appears to be on hardware. Although hardware is important you need to also consider choosing a manufacturer who provides timely Android updates. You don't want a super phone with great hardware specs running an old version of Android because the manufacturer/carrier won't upgrade to the latest Android.
Those who say "you can just put cyanogen or a custom rom on it" don't listen to them. Without drivers and other source for your specific phone it will take a long time to get a stable custom rom on your phone if the manufacturer never releases source/drivers for that specific model you own.
Also, Motorola/Carrier locks their bootloaders. Could be a problem with custom kernels.
Samsung is famous for not really updating Android on their phones.
HTC is probably better on updates.
Basically, get a Nexus phone. The new Galaxy Nexus should be released in the US sometime this century hopefully. Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S are both made by Samsung, but Google controls the operating system updates on the Nexus line of phones.

Haha, yes! You are right! I Focus too much in the hardware.. I always wanted to have a powerful beast in my pocket, a high end device that fits inside of my pocket that brings to me the possibility to perform as many task as i want just like in a desktop computer! I don't really complain too much about the android version, what i really care about that the android version it comes with is that it works fine, i mean, no bugs, no auto reboots, for example, few months ago i bought a Motorola Defy, quite nice device and still with stock 2.2.1 android, i overclocked and twaked it manually.. But it is still laggy, internet browsing is horrible.. A bit dissapointing.. i've been watching many reviews of Motorola Atrix 2 and Samsung Galaxy SII, I Love the samsung, but i thought that Atrix was more powerfull.. By the way, you are right about Motorola and android update.. I Think that Atrix 2 will die in 2.3.5 .. And the only way to get a Motorola with ICS is switching to Droid Razr.. Thats a bit unfair.. Thats one of the reasons to consider the Samsung.. Is quite pretty also, i wouldn't move from 2.3.3 if it works fine.. You know what i mean.. Something useful, powerful that fits in my pocket and a device that never fail to my daily use..! Google Nexus doesn't exist in Argentina and won't exist i think Here are laws that prohibits to import from other countries.. A bit hard to explain, my dream would be move to Miami and get my high end device for 100 bucks with a 2 years from Verizone.

Take the sgs2, have no regrets .
Softwarewise you can put any of the custom ROMs on it if you are bored and need something new.
Cyanogenmod is very good.

[Q] [about to buy] Questions about ram

Im about to buy an unlocked phone @ amazon, im between the super hardware of the atrix with better front camera and led notifications, and the freedom of the nexus s.
The only thing that really keeps me thinking, its the amount of ram of each phone. Right now i have a Moto Milestone, just 256mb of ram, very annoying and limiting,i dont want that in the near future, so what do you think about this? Are the 512mb of ram plenty enough? Im used to keep just a few apps opened with the milestone, but im paying to improve, so i dont want to do a mistake and i want to hear opinions from actual users of the phone.
How good is the battery? Will it last 18hs?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
my battery is at the end of the day at 30 - 70 %, depending on the usage of the day.
But I find the RAM really limiting. I use it some times for geocaching and displaying maps using Locus. This is a rather RAM consuming use pattern so I think that the 512 MB RAM (which aren't used completely by the way, because a part of it is used for the GPU) isn't enough.
I really like the freedom of chose for ROMs for the Nexus S but I personally would buy it at this time but go for a more advanced phone with more RAM and Dual-Core CPU.

development for the nexus s is crazy! so I dont think you can go wrong. battery depends on you but with the right setup I think you can easily get 18 hours from your phone. I have never had an issue with running out of ram but thats just my opinion.

..

I get 335mb useable ram with CNA 1.4 with T11 Trinity kernal. Amount may differ depending on kernal/rom combinations.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

Yes 512mb ram will be enough
Battery life is also not bad
I'm personally an ex milestone owner as well
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Great phone all rounder.

The thing is, for the same price, i have the Atrix with 1gb of ram and a dual core tegra, but i dont know if the development is active, or good. And by good i mean that its possible to do things with the phone, no blocked things and so.
I would want a fully functional (i could skip fingerprint reader, webtop and hdmi) Rom, with no known issues, like camera not working or so.
And at the same time, i want a future proof hardware, i dont want to be where i am with my milestone right now with poor ram or processor.

Did you check the section here in XDA what ROMs are available?
I really like the development and the freedom of choice with the Nexus S, that was the reason to buy this phone for me last year. The new galaxy nexus is a little to big I think.
EDIT: I forgot to put the phone in the charger yesterday evening and got 32% this morning after about 23 hours.

I don't know the Atrix's capabilities first hand, but the specs say it is much better than the Nexus S hardware-wise. But nothing comes close to the freedom of choice and development that goes on for the Nexus line.
The 384MB available is a good number, but not a great one. This phone would be far better with 768MB overall, with 512 solely for the system. Is it a problem with regular use? Definitely not, and with custom kernels and roms performance doesn't really suffer at all except in performance heavy games.
It is still a single core though, albeit probably the best single core phone out there. Battery is not great, but it is what should be expected from a 4" touch phone. You'll likely get around 4 hours of screen time in a day with some battery to spare, though this also depends on how tightly knit you keep the system. It's generally no worse than any other android out there without some huge battery.
Have a look at the Atrix ROMs and features. In the end it's your choice, but i'd be looking at it with a freedom or power perspective. Which one means more to you?

Why do people always compare phones with the chipset and RAM?? The nexus S has a vastly superior display which is really important thing for smartphone experience.
And nexus S has much better still picture camera as well. Every chipset will ultimately be outdated but a beautiful screen and camera will always be good features.

Galaxy Tab Plus vs Nexus 7

I know there are many things about the Tab Plus that make it a superior piece of hardware, but the Nexus 7 is one of the few 7" devices that even comes close to it in specs and performance.
The one great thing is that it will get the latest OS updates and that will make it a more fun device to use. It hasn't even shipped yet, but has its own forum and someone has already figured out how to root the device . . . The most frustrating thing about Samsung is its silence and sluggishness regarding updating our beloved device. Not to mention the wifi driver issue.
I don't plan on getting rid of my Tab Plus but I have a Nexus 7 on pre order and can't wait to try some Jelly Bean.

change the title to:
microsd x JB

Well it has the superior processor and better software support, downside would be the missing microSD slot, limited internal storage and lack of 3g. So on the one hand you are dependent on the cloud but you dont get mobile data capabilities. Sure Tegra 3 is nice but i still think the tab+ is at the very least more mobile.
Oh yeah and the n7 is supposed to have a bit of a better screen.
Since it has only wifi and limited storage it's designed to be used at home mostly which conflicts with the concept of such a small screen size.

OK, so I was really curious about this too. I made a little spreadsheet to compare the GT+wifi to the 16gb N7. It's attached. There's several small differences (dimensions, materials, asthetics, etc.) that were either a matter of taste of too insignificant to call "different." BTW- if I've missed something let me know and I'll update.
Nexus 7 (16gb)-----Galaxy Tab Plus (6210 wifi only):
Processor: Tegra 3 Quad Core 1300MHz-----1.2 GHz dual-core Exynos 4210
OS: Android 4.1 Jelly Bean*- Vanilla-----Android 3.2 Honeycomb - Touchwiz
OS Future: Early upgrades for 18 months-----ICS July/August; nothing more
Display: 1280 x 800 IPS-----1024 x 600 PLS
Magnetometer: Yes-----No
USB Digital Audio: Yes-----No
NFC: Yes-----No
USB: MicroUSB w/host-----Samsung Proprietary w/host
Back Camera (MP): No-----3.1
Front Camera (MP): 1.2-----2
Expandable Memory: No-----Yes
Wifi: B/G/N-----A/B/G/N
Wifi 5Ghz: No-----Yes
So, there you have it. If you need mobile data, don't compare, just get a GT+. Also note the difference in user base for the two tablets which means a huge difference in the amount of development.

Thanks for pulling all this together!

Honestly if the nexus 7 had a microsd card slot id probably rid my gt+ but im not sure if im willing to give up storage for a faster cpu. ... I think it kind of is a downgrade, and cloud come on why would you want your files on another device and not your own? I think its a cool device and may work for you but all n all i think the gt+ is for the win in my book

I just sold my Gtab+ on ebay today and pre-ordered two Nexus 7.
I'm just tired of Samsung taking forever to roll out major updates, namely ICS. I've had working ICS leaks on my E4GT for several months now, which I am enjoying and all, however my P6210 has seen no such love. Its not mobile/3g so the carrier argument is null. What bothers me further is that Samsung put out the tab 2, which is extremely similar yet its got ICS.
I decided to sell it now, while i still can and forego the microSD card slot. apart from that, i am gaining a far superior tab that has much greater function (to me) than the tab plus.
Despite the Lack of external storage I do not see how a Gtab plus is in any way better than the Nexus 7. Even if it has 3G, pages are slow to load and browsers FC more often than i'd like to admit. I find myself (when using my phone) waiting and hopping onto wifi more often than waiting for 3G.
Based on Specs alone, my wants and needs would be satisfied by the Nexus 7. As great as external storage would be for movies during flights and trips, i can still make plenty of use of 16GB of on board storage for my half way around the world flights.

Small correction, the plus has a magnetometer

Just some quick thoughts on my future with my GT7+...not commenting on anyone else's decision to switch or not....
Not sure if I'll sell my GT7+ or repurpose it, but I too have ordered an N7. Lack of ICS (my 10 android tab has it so I do know what I'm missing- unfortunately I don't have time these days to root/hack as much as I'd like to get an unofficial ICS on the GT7) is a big issue for me so getting to leapfrog it for JellyB is a dream. Day to day performance compared to iOS has always been so disappointing and it looks like JB will have that smooth, buttery UX that android has been severely lacking. I can't wait! I know many will disagree with that statement, but fanboi-ism aside, you gotta admit, why does android need two or even four cores running at 1.2-1.7Ghz to run as smoothly as iOS (which only uses a dual 1Ghz cpu or slower)? I'm not a dev or coder so don't know the nuts and bolts of the OS, but as a consumer the slow downs, freezes, stutters, etc is a deal killer.
These days an iPad3 is my main tab (/ducks...lol), but I still think the GT7 size is a portable sweet spot. There are times the iPad just feel to big to bring. Plus, the horsepower of Tegra 3 with that monster GPU (12 cores!) will make the N7 a serious competitor to the iPad for games and multimedia content creation (photo and video in my case)- if we get the proper apps. Another thing the the N7 got me with is a better supported screen rez- I've had app compatibility issues possibly because 1024x768 wasn't properly supported for a honeycomb tablet.
16GB with no expansion might be tough, but support for USB drives will come soon if not available at launch. No HDMI out is also a bummer, though again, I've read MHL support could be added with a firmware update.
Lack of 3G is a non-issue. 3G sucks. Sorry, but come on, in this age of LTE, good WiFi coverage about anywhere and LTE MiFi's, I would never pay extra to have 3G in a device these days. LTE data plans are about the same cost as 3G now and coverage is only getting better (obviously, I'm only talking about the US and have no idea what the situation for LTE is in other parts of the world)
Anyway, I know I'll always have uses for both OS's- well, my work requires I know and use both, but it's gonna be great to have a device that won't sometimes make me feel like a beta tester when I use Android.

Damn, ipad was never into the discussion.

Oh yeah an that with 3g is your opinion, but it highly depends on where you live. When youre on the countryside 3g is your only option, since there is bad lte coverage and wifi only at home so...

If you can't find google or the search button, how did you make it to XDA?

GTab+: MicroSD, HDMI (with dongle), rear camera + LED, haptic feedback.
N7: Better resolution, OS, CPU, easier to hold (grippy case), NFC
I'll be keeping my GTab+ P6210 for now. Besides being a bit slower and lower res, it suits my purposes fine and has all the extras. Hopefully the OS will catch up eventually (at least 4.04 with good custom ROM, don't care for TW that much). Might get an N7 later but not in a huge rush right now.

Keeping my GT+
but want to order the 32 Gig Nexus 7 (they are currently sold out)to have a cream of the crop OS to play with . The only reason I need the Xtra space is for movies so I'll just bring my GPlus when on long trips and the Nexus 7 for short ones. :good:

Well i wont leave my GT+ for sure.. I use it for cellular purpose and also browsing internet.. its my main gadget now ^^, but eyah, another 7" tab for 200 $ with 1.3 quad tegra.. jelly bean.. quite a good offer for self amusement.. will consider getting that N7 as well.. but GT+ will always be my main, for now..

Another direct comparison.
http://versusio.com/en/google-nexus-7-8gb-vs-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-0-plus-p6210-32gb

This comparision is bull****.
No DLNA on P6210?
Nexus 7 doesn't have USB mass storage out of the box.
Free navigation? You can install Google Maps on P6210 for free too.
Also this bull**** comparision doesn't mention things like rear facing camera, LED flash on P6210.

Design Your Nexus Phone - Let's Discuss

Now that the rumors of Nexus devices have gone completely insane and terribly misleading I have thought about what I would like to see in a Nexus phone. Since Nexus devices are designed to be developer devices we have to keep in mind that hardware is the only thing you can really look at. Absolutely stock Android with no frills is our OS obviously. What kind of hardware should Google be encouraging development for? What manufacturer and what kind of specs would you want.
I'd like to see Motorola get a shot at the Nexus line. My bet is it would be called the Nexus X or the Moto Nexus.
Since its a Nexus device it has to be built completely open source. I'd like to see Moto open the X8 System up to allow developers to utilize the motion core and listening core. Anybody who has used a Moto X will agree that Active Display is probably the best feature ever. Unfortunately, it might fall outside the scope of Nexus to have this chipset in the phone as it is Motorola's silicon. It would likely have to be built on the Qualcomm chipset which tries to implement listening but fails miserably thus far. Basically I would love to see a Nexus device that is contextually aware of its surroundings without draining battery. Contextual awareness is the new wave in tech, allowing Devs to play around with that would be great.
Other Specs:
-5" Screen (at most) - I don't want a huge phone, that's why I have a tablet
-All day battery life - for the power user though because nobody else buys Nexus phones
-Rounded back
-Camera can be average, I don't care too much
This is based on the assumption that Nexus isn't dead so don't bring up Android Silver.

For me, I want a phone, not a flipping TV
- 4.5 Inch max. Now that screen sizes are getting close to tab/phablets, whats going to fill in the 'smaller' phone sizes?
- I know it wont happen but SD Card slot
- Aluminum body, probably the number one reason why HTC made a comeback
- Spec wise, I dont think it matters anymore to have the best CPU, or RAM

For me,I would love a bigger screen to 5",Not 4.9"....
4.5"-5" Screen,Liked nexus 4 on big screen with beautiful UI
SD card slot with App2SD(Why not google?)
3000+maH Battery
Snapdragon 400/S4 Pro(Quad Core)(Please no MTK.)S800 is too powerful.
LTE but...Certificated??
Note function?
Also most important,Cheaper(lol)

Assuming we're talking about the Nexus 6...
Screen no bigger than 5".
OIS 13mp camera or 16mp+ w/o OIS.
Bigass battery.
MicroSD slot, or storage option of 64gb (or even 128gb).
I'm sure the other specs will be up to snuff, so I won't wish and want with those.

N6 5.5 screen with little bezel works for me...

5" 1080p display
Snapdragon 801
3gb ram
3000mah battery (removable)
16mp OIS camera
Micro sd up to 128gb
This would be a perfect nexus phone in my opinion

Ok It should be like the following :-
1- 5" to 5.5" Super AMOLED screen with the ability to turn it to Black & White mode for Ultra power saving.
2- Polycarbonate like the Nokia Lumia's design or any other type of good and high quality plastic.
3- more than 3000 mAh battery, at least 3500 mAh, with removable back cover and battery, I think that also it better and more secure in Airports and in general.
4- High quality camera with the ability of manual controls.
5- Front facing speakers (small one's for more compact size) like in HTC One M8.
6- 64-bit hardware, 4 GB Ram, Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 or above, 128 GB internal storage.
I think that phone will be enough for what I'm looking in 2014/2015 smartphone .
