Also called Samsung Galaxy Z/R,its the "little brother" of Samsung Galaxy S2,whit a 4,2" Super Clean LCD screen,Nvidia Tegra 2 at 1 Ghz,1GB of RAM,8GB of internal memory and 5mpx of camera whit recording at 720 px.
The quadrant results are about 3000,but what i want to mean whit this? I request the opening of a category exclusive por this phone,is not the best but its a powerful device.
i agree, i want a category for this beautiful phone too
+1. I agree
+1 :d:d:d
i think Galaxy R has better hardware than S2,plus there is no difference on performance, the screen has natural color good for the eye..thickness is ideal for the size, i had s2 but it seems it does not feel good in hand very lightweigth. price is good, even with 5mp camera, what count is the performance is same dual core and better looks.
+1 . A category for this model
+1
we all need category for this model =)
+1
I like this phone too, but when will we see root for it?
Why is this model still a mystery? It practically doesn't even exist on samsung's official website. I understand that there's no root tutorial or custom roms for it. No problem with that (so far though )but come on. It's really hard to believe that such great phone is so unpopular all over the world. I bought it 7 days ago, and I cannot even read what kind of issues I should expect with it. As for now I'm really satisfied, the only thing I noticed was dropped calls once or twice, but the person I was speaking to was clearly out of range (subway )
To sum up, own category is strongly needed!
+1 nice phone

I think it's a power machine, and should be his software very similar to galaxy2
I think would be early because samsung start sells in september.

Err, you do know that caps lock is one of the easiest ways to encourage folk to troll/flame you, right? You may wish to lay off of that or cut back on your caffeine in the future.
That being said, yes, there are complaints about the way Samsung did a few things with the galaxy S line, like using a terrible file format system and neglecting to use working GPS hardware. However, I can tell you that my Focus is really fantastic to use, and is working great, so I'd imagine that the upcoming Nexus S will work great as well. As always, pay attention to the bits of reviews that talk about the parts that are important to you, instead of blindly following the overall opinions of another gadget fanboy. The smartphone is one of the most personal items you will ever own, and you need to make sure that you are looking for what matters to you.
My friend pl
U can use YouTube for comparison of both phones.it will give u more info and I Think GPS problem is only thing to bother with nexus s otherwise best phone IMHO
lg optimus one
Most negative things about Samsung has to do with their slow or lack of ability to update their devices. I have a Samsung Epic and love it. Now the Nexus S is a different breed from the other Galaxy S line up in the update department because Google is in charge of rolling out updates to it. It will be among, if not first, to receive updates to the OS. So that being said, Samsung and their ability to not roll out updates will not effect the Nexus S. You should be happy with the Nexus S, untill dual core processors come out next year such as the LG Star.
Sent from my shoe, I mean....Epic shoe... I mean Samsung Epic! http://mobilehighway.blogspot.com/
Worst experience with the galaxy S is that hummingbird processor of theres is screwy. I work for T-mobile and have a friend who works for verizon. We both have people come in all the time talking about their phone running very slowly. It seems like the buffer is overrunning and sadly Samsung expects people to ride em down til they're non-functional before they'll replace that. Hummingbird is certainly not the best, it's as unstable as they come. That and the lack of updates but since the Nexus S is a google phone you wont have to worry bout that part
It simply comes down to the lack of updates. I currently own the Fascinate (only Samsung product I own) and have been happy with it other than the inexistent to no support for this phone.
I just take it as a lesson and not upset at all. I've already moved on to other products other than Samsung and will never buy another product from them again. Live and learn I guess.

The main difference is going to be your update frequency (IMHO), but custom roms can fix that problem. Bounce around the two forums and see which you like better, head up youtube and watch review videos, check out the development going on for each, then make an educated decision as to which is best for you.
That's about all the input I'm interested in giving before echoing slowz request.

[Q] Nexus S better dans GT-I9000?
Hi everyone.
I was wondering something about this new Nexus S....
I'm currently the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M From Bell in Canada.
Today at CES 2011 they said that the Nexus S will come to Canada.
I got 4 replacement for the GT-I9000M since August (in fact since october). The internal Memory Failed, The battery life was poor, 3 button recovery was not enabled, GPS innacurate, Hard time connecting it to my computer and all the stuff said in bad about this phone I got it.....
Since the Nexus S is almost the same (hardware speaking) I was wondering if all the bugs that the SGS suffer from was happening with the Nexus S?
Is the Partition Table is the same?
Do Internal Memory Fail once again?
Is there any issue with Recovery mode?
GPS problems?
Poor battery life?
Any Lag issue?
I really enjoy my SGS when it's not failing but the Nexus S attract me a little more since it got 2.3 and update straight from Google instead of waiting after the carrier "testing" the new rom...
So anyone having or tested both phone or can speak with experience in here?
Thanx
One of the main reason I don't want to get any trouble with the phone is that Samsung got the worst customer service ever seen in electronics (home appliances, tv, phones)...
so the less I have to deal with them the best it is.
Samsung said they are open the put it on the AWS network in canada so if the phone is good, this could be the phone that will make me switch from Rogers to Videotron
No offense, but you're asking in a Nexus S forum what phone we'd prefer. Most of us own a Nexus S. So what do you think the answer is going to be?
Frankly I am not sure why you are having so many problems. I have an SGS for work and it works great. I bought the Nexus S to replace my G1 and it's like a dream compared to my G1. You could always get one and try it out. If you don't like it, return it.

In fact the same thread is on the GT-I9000 Q&A forum. I want to see on both sime your opinions.
But I was thinking that maybe someone here had or also have the GT-I9000 as secondary or previous smartphone. So I could get some feedback and difference

I have both. GT i9000 was my main phone from July until I got the Nexus S.
They're both fine pieces of hardware.
Software-wise, the GT i9000 was a train wreck out of the box. The Samsung RFS file system introduces significant lag to the phone. I know some of the later "leaked builds" of Sammy firmware seem to have addressed this, but I'm not sure if you bought a new one that you'd get it. That means to make the i9000 a pleasurable user experience you must root it and put in custom kernels and "lag-fixes". If you're into that kind of thing, lots of support and options. If you're not, you will definitely prefer the out-of-the-box performance of the NS.
I much prefer the Nexus S physically. It looks and feels better. Has a bit more heft and doesn't feel like I'm going to drop it as much.
I prefer the standard four capacitive buttons on the NS, but miss the trackball of the N1 or physical home button of the SGS. On the SGS the home button is just like the iPhone button in that it will wake the device from sleep...only the power button does that on the NS.
The power button on the NS is a bit easier to hit one handed than on the SGS for some reason.
As I said, they're both fine phones. If you're a ROM flasher, then there are only two real determining factors in my mind that you should consider.
The first is how important is it to you that you have Google's flagship phone that is most likely to get software updates to the base OS fastest (if that's important the Nexus S is your choice).
The second is which network do you want to use, and which phone supports the best 3G speeds on that network. In the US, if you want AT&T 3G service, you must pick the i9000; if you want T-Mo 3G you must pick the Nexus S.
I'm not a huge fan of T-Mo as my primary carrier, so the SGS still has some allure to me, but if network wasn't an issue (ie., there was options for AT&T or Verizon Nexus S and i9000) then the Nexus S would be a no brainer!
Hello!
I've read all the comparison out there and I haven't really decided which one should I buy. I've read the hardware is the same but the benchmarks tests are showing different (the nexus always win?) Is the screen on the nexus worse due that it's not gorilla and that it is S-LCD ? I've heard that galaxy S has many lags and such, so my question is does nexus s have any "known bugs" ?
I really appreciate your answers!

Nice resurrection of a 9 month old thread...
The nexus will benchmark and generally run faster/smoother thanks to it's native EXT4 file system. The screen isn't worse, it's just more fragile than gorilla glass (though neither is likely to withstand a hard enough fall).
Get the Nexus. SGS has a slow moviNAND memory on which the app data partition is. Thats why it's laggy like ****. 2.3* brought improvement in RFS, so the conversion to EXT4 (lagfix) ain't needed/doesn't make a difference. Maybe it doesn't show that much, if you don't install many apps, but when comparing SGS and NS side by side, everyone could noticed that lag on SGS. GPS is also worse and the build quality.
Maybe only thing I *could* miss is the AMOLED from SGS (on SLCD now), but on the other hand, AMOLED sucks balls on the sun, SLCD is much better. And that kinda is more important, then the black blacks.
Who cares what the HW specs tell you, or the benchmarks. It's hard to actually rate the phone, since no one can tell you the quirks of a device, if he ain't an experienced and technical knowledgeable user.
I know what I'm talking about, since I went from Desire to SGS in June, now I'm ****ing happy I could sold it and buy the Nexus. Everything works like a charm here, no need to flash 923 ROM's and fixes or whatever. I was constantly "improving" my SGS over 3 months, since I was never happy with it. Check the SGS forums, full of posts "how to improve that", "lagfix", "thisfix", blabla. Here on NS forums, it's rather dull (thank god).
Hope that makes your decision easier.
Thanks for your opinions! I bought the Nexus S today and it's awesome compared to my old Omnia II (če bi vedel, bi mi lahko kar po slo. povedal heh )
P.S. Just ignore the words in brackets, because I am from the same country as madd0g.
Hello all, I'm starting this to get opinions of what people think is the best android phone and the reasons they think it's the best. I'm looking to get a new phone and would like other peoples input on what phone is best, since there are a lot of options available. I know everything is an opinion when it comes to a phone. Just say what you think the biggest pros are and the biggest cons are. Admin, If I started this thread in the wrong place apologize!
I've had 3 android phones, all with t mobile. The G1, nexus one and the samsung galaxy s(vibrant). I still have all of them!
Now in my opinion the nexus one has been the best for installing modified ROM'S, With the least amount of issues and ease of unlocking with all hardware working. The downside is the screen size and the flipping power button keeps breaking!
Now my second option is the samsung galaxy s. I like the dimensions of the phone and the screen size is awesome. But with modified kernels and a crappy GPS antenna you still have GPS issues.
So come one come all, leave your input let's see what phone you think is the best on the market today!

I was also thinking on the same lines... tho I think people should be careful as to what their suggesting... I don't think this thread is based on "what phone do you own, hence think is the best "... because I'm sure as **** the Wildfire S is by far not even close to the best android... maybe the best cheap android phone... but definately not the best...
If you think a phone is the best... then why do you think so... you need to have a valid reason...
As far as I'm concerned I want to change phones as well... at the moment the S2 seems to be at the top of the hill... I was sure I would get the galaxy nexus but after seeing the utterly disappointing specs... a crappy camera, no expandable memory, and a TI processor rather than a exenos is just a major letdown...
Tho in the upcoming phones seems the Droid Razr is supposed to be a beast and the S2 HD seems to be awesome... but iit looks like will need to wait a while for them... not to.mention the s2 HD will only be released in Korea...??? :s
Its actually quite strange phones are getting bigger and bigger... they just wont seem to fit in pockets soon... I thought a 4 inch screen is perfect... tho 4.2 is really pushing it... but 4.6... I'm not really into wearing clothes twice my size to be able to fit my damn phone in my pocket
What does anyone suggest based on facts... wait for the nexus... or the S2 HD... or just go for the S2...

I've favored HTC phones. I've personally owned the Droid Inc, Inc2, and the moto Droid. I've had my hands on quite a few different ones. I think the Inc Is my favorite . Samsung has good phones, but I like the HTC's better.

Best android phone ever? As an early adopter I'd say the g1, that thing was supported for a looooong time given the average lifespan of android phones, the form factor, while thick, is still one of the coolest to date with android, and I believe you could get it all the way to gingerbread despite being a severely dated device. Next to the HD2 it is my favorite tinkering phone. The best right now, likely the gs2, I don't have much love for the current devices but the hardware on the razr is looking pretty sexy. I have a thing for thin phones. That's why my next device will be a Nokia 800 but that's a story for another thread.
Tl;dr? G1, GS2, razr droid.
For someone like you just get a Galaxy S ii and call it a day.

Please thank me if I helped.
well it depends upon what specs you want to have(and brag about).
IMO, there's no such thing as 'best Android phone' because having the 'best' phone is always subjective.
If you want the highest specs on a phone, you can look at the flagship phones.
If you want to be unique, choose a less well-known brand.
If you want to customise, there's plenty.
If you want to have a good-looking UI, SE arc or ray would do

Hey People,
I now own an htc diamond 2 I had it for 2 years. It has been broken about 7 times! All within warranty but still it’s too much.
End of this month I can renew my contract with my mobile provider, and I can order a new phone.
But I have no idea what phone to choose.
Can someone give me some pointers in what phone I can choose from?
It doesn’t have to be brand new.
Must have:
Exchange support.
Camera at least 5mp.
Gps.
Must be quite fast while browsing.
Android or iPhone??.
I know there are many comparison sites but I rather here it from daily users.
So please tell me why your phone or the phone u mentioned is the right choice.
Samsung Galaxy S2 still seems to be the best, imho. Fast, thin, light, great screen. The only thing I wasn't sure about when I got it was the relatively low resolution, but it actually hasn't bothered me even though I came from an iPhone 4 with a retina display.
The Galaxy Nexus might also be something to look at, although I'm not terribly impressed with the specs.
I'm waiting for the new Google Nexus, what do you think about it?
I got a Galaxy S2 and I love it. The phone is nice and there is a lot of help on it. the community on that phone is pretty active.
Go for the sgs2 just got one the other day my self and im very happy the speed and friendly flashing is great.
+1 for the galaxy S2
Galaxy S2, no contest.
i say wait a couple weeks and get a galaxy nexus. the specs may not be the best, but the hardware acceleration and software make it better than just about anything else you could get.
I'd say wait for the Galaxy Nexus, though it's going to be super costly I think.
A mid-range awesome phone would probably be HTC Desire S. I own it, I love it.
So, if you can wait and pay enough for the Galaxy Nexus it's going to be worth the wait. Else go for the Desire S.
Galaxy S2 again is awesome, but awesomeness is not cheap.

Compare the amount of iphone developement threads with the amount of android developement threads on xda-developers...
sounds like samsung nexus is gonna be more like iphone in that no external sd card and no removable battery. Kudos for icecream sandwhich but do you wanna be the ghinea pig for software that is bound to have some probs in the beginning? It seems like sg2 is the ultimate phone so far: it has removable card, option to replace battery better hardware, camera and will surely get android 4.0 when everything has been ironed out. I only wish verizon picked up the sg2

Have been playing with the HTC Rezound and it is one powerful beast. I have ave to say it is best phone out there. If you have been waiting for the ultimate phone with a Verizon plan wait no longer for that nexus myth when there is a phone like this. Just my two cents ;-)
The Thunderbolt!!!! You said it didn't have to be new. Probably the mist customizable phone out there.

I Need Help Deciding between the Samsung Note (i717) and the Galaxy S3.
I have been looking on the web for info on both phones and I have read a lot of things concerning both of them. I have read what people (and reviewers) think of each.
Pros of each phone...
Note
Large screen
S-pen
Screen resolution
I currently have the SGS with the 1GHz CPU and I find the phone pretty fast. Considering I do not play graphic intensive games, I think the Dual core 1.5 on the (Canadian) Note would be plenty fast for my needs.
I have big hands and the Note fits perfectly in there (I tried it in Store). I also need glasses for reading, so the big screen helps as well.
I love the idea of writing notes instead of typing them.
S3
Newest technology
New features (S-voice, Smart Stay, Direct Call, etc)
ICS (Note will get ICS also)
Do I really need a quad core CPU? Am I going to use the extra features that the S3 has? A lot of the new features a phone comes with I find are gimmicks, will I use them?
I like the Note, but I also love the newest and greatest technology available.
On the other hand, the Note 2 is rumored to be coming out in October, should I wait?
AArrrgggh, what to do, what to do???

I purchased the SIII. It's a wonderful phone and the specs are better then the Note. It's a choice of preference though!
If you want to go for the good specs, take the SIII. Benchmark scores are much higher also!

Seems like u Want the note really.
Gs3 is very nice but with tech advancing so fast by next yr something else would be better
I'd say note fits for you, note is a pretty powerful beast if u r comfortable with its dimension... and it seems u do

Yeah, I guess I do want the Note, but I also want to newer technology.
I know the S3 is faster than the note, but that's thanks to the quad core CPU and the 2MB of ram.
