Hi,
Time has come for me to recontract and choose the new phone. Based on my budget/contract I can get any one of these, not sure which one should i go for. Appreciate if someone can give me some help
HTC Desire S
LG Optimus 2x
LG Optimus
Samsung galaxy super clear lcd
SE xperia x10 HD
Prices for all of these are almost same subtle difference only.
Thanks in advance
I'm no tech guru but I'm just going by word of mouth. Though I have been a long time supporter of Samsung I would stay away from that Galaxy S phone since it appears to be mediocre. My friend did a benchmark on his LG Optimus 2x and it did very well. He really enjoys it and recommends it. The Xperia would be a great option if you enjoy playing games. You Tube has great reviews on most of these phones
Id Go For the HTC Desire S. But thats Just Me.
i went for the desire S & i really love it
you can go for the optimus 2x if you want more processing power
2x for pure power!

optimus 2x..
Thanks all for your replied, helped me a lot to shortlist my next toy. now seems to have only 2 choices either 2X or desire s. 2x has more supporter than desire s, could be due to dual core. other devices seems not famous at all
Hi guys, I'm new to here.
I don't know which one I should buy: Optimus 3D or Galaxy R?
Some of my friends says that Optimus 3D uses TI OMAP4430, its faster. But in YouTube videos, Optimus 3D suck in internet using. Galaxy R is not fast as Optimus 3D but it plays 3 videos in same time perfectly.
I don't care about the 3D option of Optimus. I just want to have a phone which can give me good sound, fast internet using and watching videos, great screen to play games and enough battery time for me.
In here...
Galaxy R is 485 euros/630 dolars.
Optimus 3D is 525 euros/685 dolars.
Thanks.
Get a Galaxy S2. It's amazing. If you want a cheap dual core droid get the Galaxy R.

Yea, LG....???
GS2 or I guess, R, though I'd just fork over a little bit more and get S2.
Or try lg optimus black, best screen ive seen
huh?
I'm either that old-fashioned or LG actually stepped their game since last tech-decade (which isn't an actual decade, but you know what i mean)?
Get a Nexus Phone. It's the best android phone!
I think you can also get a HTC Sensation for the price of the Optimus 3D. If it is avaiable in your country i'd totally recommend the Sensation. If you can spend a little more get a GS2. I bought mine for 550 dollars and it is totally worth it

Optimus is better specs wise and has 3D which is a fun extra feature. Also its dual core which is better and will be getting android 4.0 this year so your sure to get newest operating system on it.
Specs say it has a fm radio on optimus but mine was not enabled however on the xda optimus 3D forum is an fm radio apk that installs and works perfectly on it if you get one and want radio included.
If you change from an iphone you will notice some big differences though. For example android does full multitasking whereas iphone doesn't so some people say you will get lag when doing several things at once.
Also when you install an app the phone becomes unresponsive for about half a second during installation process. Not sure why but all my phones have so I guess its an android thing.
I have a rooted optimus using go launchet and I like it but there are better phones out there for similar prices though experia play is not one of them and if you don't want the 3D aspect a better option might be something else dual core but with more ram as 512mb is enough now but may not be for much longer.
It does play high def 3D video perfectly though. Camera is good but the camera app isn't so if you get one try an app like camera zoom fx which will do a much better job.

both are decent phones, go to the store and play with both of them, get a feel and you'll be able to best choose. gsmarena has a good comparison site that will go over features
By the looks of it, your on at&t. If that is so, go with Galaxy S 2. Great phone and will get ics. If its tmobile, either HTC sensation or their galaxy s2 , which is still great.

If by Optimus 3D you mean the Thrill 4G on AT&T then don't count on ICS. The Optimus 3D has been confirmed to be getting ICS right around the time people will be wanting JellyBean. But, there is no mention of the Thrill getting it. The Thrill is still on Froyo, vs the O3D has the GB update. But, they are not similar enough for that to translate into a easy to install stable port.
Depends on your use desires. If you don't care about what version of android you are running, and just want a basic smart phone the Thrill is better than the Xperia play, spec wise. Plan on getting extra chargers or batteries. But if you want something for lots of game playing while the specs aren't the best those dedicated game controls come in handy. But, if you want the best and/or most future proof phone on AT&T today, get the Galaxy S II, the original - i777 - not the Skyrocket.
I'm in Australia just trying to find a fun feature rich phone for my budget and the 3D aspect sounds pretty alright but I can't find anywhere that says if the output to a 3D tv is any good the only reason I was thinking play was for the dedicated gaming buttons.

What don't you like about the iPhone? As much a I love my Android, I wouldn't mind taking the iPhone for a spin, if it wasn't carried on those two evil empires.

Check the Optimus 3D forums. I fairly certain it does output 3D content on a 3D TV over HDMI. But, I don't have a 3D screen, so I never tried with my Thrill. A 3D TV and the Optimus 3D use different types of 3D technology (no glasses required on the Optimus 3D), so the files are different.
The 3D games are fun, but I always have trouble playing games with on screen controls, they cover so much of the game on a 4.3" screen. But, with the controls of the Xperia its like having a PSP built into your phone. Much better gaming experience.

The iPhone runs on far more than 2 evil empires. It runs on three in the US alone.
The iPhone definately has its advantages. For my wife its the best thing. She doesn't want to worry certain things. It is more stable, and simpler to use. But everytime I use it, it feels laggy compared to my SGS II. Plus the screen is so small, I couldn't imagine playing serious games with on screen controls on a 3.5" screen. I did the iPhone thing, and it would take some serious face lift (it hasn't changed much from 4 years ago, and I don't mean just add more stolen ideas from android) to iOS and a 4"+ screen to get me to even consider it.

Are both phones able to be rooted?

I know the O3D is rootable and can run custom ROMs. Not sure on Xperia. With both devices having unique hardware (3D and game controls) that does limit possibilities like Cyanogen. You can probably get CM7 on both of them, but it won't support the unique things about them.

The optimus outputs to tv fine at same resolution as source material but my tv is 2D so 3D content shows as side by side video.
You can root the phone as mine is rooted. As for roms there are a couple and apparently cm9 is coming to optimus as well. But I use stock gb rom so can't comment on other roms.

I use a replacement camera app for normal pics but for 3D ones the default app is not great if the subject is moving much like if your trying to take a pic of a cat or dog and they move as there is a camera delay although the 3D effect is good especially compared to evo 3D.
On stock lg launcher you may get lag though I never noticed any but I use go launcher now. Its a good phone but if your considering it you may want to check out the optimus 3D forum here at xda as there are lots of comments there and threads about good and bad points that will help you get a better idea if its for you or not.
Its a good phone and I wouldn't swap mine for anything but I love 3D. If you like 3D its a great choice but if 3D isn't important you can get faster phones with more ram for similar sort of price.
There is sometimes small delay as an app opens but no lag I have noticed and playing games in converted 3D is great

I think I'm sold on the Optimus 3D lol I thing my galaxy s only had about 256mb?
If you want a 3D phone get the optimus 3D or Evo 3D. If your not set on 3D get the s2 or galaxy nexus as it's very similar to the iPhone OS.

I agree except the evo bit as not only is optimus better for 3D but evo cannot play normal games in 3D and optimus takes better 3D pictures

Most Xperia's have locked bootloaders, so i would go for the O3D if I were you. Stock software may be sucky on the O3D, but no doubt it has a great developer base

Got it. Thanks for the clarifications!
After a disappointing experience with the HTC Evo 3D I am in search of my new phone.
I really dont want to miss the 3D capabilities. I would like to know which phone are you looking forward to?
I have had everything in my hand that is out on the market and nothing seems to please me and also be much more superior than the O3D.
I have tried everything really every handset out there. The only real deal is the galaxy nexus but it has no 3D functions.
What phones are you looking forward to? Is the new galaxy S3 worth the wait?

it's really depends on what you are like the most? if you like 3D then O3D is the best phone compare with HTC Evo 3d. I have own it in the past but dont' like it, that's why i go for O3D as it better 3D and more contents. the thing i miss from HTC is the sense, that's why i got HD2, the most famous phone that you can get.
if you more on the speed, i think worse waiting for the next Galaxy or note.
but you don't like the look of touch wiz like me, then dont go for Samsung.
i hope that help man.
Just waiting for the Optimus 3D 2 at this point.

There, fixed.
Hey guys;
Just wondering in your opinion which phone is better as I had a recent offer to trade?
I don't so much care for the 3D effect as I own an Optimus 3D, but I hear the specs on this phone are much better(dual core vs single core for example)
Mostly what I care about, which phone has better roms and developer support? Better battery life? Better display? Things like that; since this isn't device specific I decided to post here. Be glad to hear your thoughts on all.
wait for the G S 3 !
evo 3d
