You forgot to mention LTE support on both phones
I guess we know what the Nexus Prime is going to be touting when it gets released
Surprisingly, HD version is slightly narrower than the regular version

Was hoping for a better SoC and it seems that Samsung is still stuck using pentile sub matrixes at that resolution so sharpness-wise it won't be much better than the SGS II.
Guess we'll see another iteration of this phone, aka Nexus Prime, come October 4th.

without having seen the screen i wouldn't make that statement. Also everyone that has seen the Galaxy Note has commented on how sharp the screen is and this is supporting the same res but in a much more compact screen size

While that is true, I have serious doubts concerning anything pentile after having used the Samsung Galaxy S.
Hmm could this new beast be carrying one of TI's newer 4470s with an SGX544?

96k pixels/inch (SAMOLED Galaxy S) vs 198k pixles/inch (SAMOLED HD Galaxy S2 HD)
It's a pretty substantial jump in pixel density

you don't need English to know what this means

nice its good awesome

Wolfson DAC os ****ty Yamaha?

in a related matter...
we all know what LTE and HSPA+ are
but what the heck is the new LGU+ (Revision A)?... found it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_U+
seems like a new highspeed technology not widely supported anywhere else but Korea, and it's just Revision A, so it's not even final
seems like a proprietary LTE by LG, that is not the regular LTE used elsewhere

Awesome
Looks very nice and slim

Having a 4.7" hardly qualifies it as a phone More like tablet-mini.

"The screen merits a deeper examination, but here are the first impressions we got from it. First off, having a 5.3" SuperAMOLED is pretty cool. Graphics are smooth and you have to look close to see the PenTile matrix."

Still noticeable and the display appears to be dimmer than that of the SGS2.

It better not have the same lag issues as the current crop, otherwise im not buying it.
If it doesn't have tons of ram i don't want it.
omg it makes me so sad to see this after ive only had my captivate for a month but imagine what the next year or two will bring!
Unless the samoled 2 is also a solar panel, I don't experience the best battery life...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Probably gonna be bogged with RFS and and TouchWiz. If they bork the nexus S with RFS that will seriously suck. I know we can run lag fixes etc. but it would be nice to get a phone that doesn't need to be hacked just top be functional (totally would still root it, but its just the satisfaction of knowing that I wouldn't have to ^_^)
I'd still pick the Nexus S.
If the Captivate has such awful battery life, I can't imagine what a 1.2ghz processor and a 4.3" screen will do to it.
The Google Experience with a 4" screen is my dream phone. The S2 sure does look pretty though.

			
				
with all this extra power, bigger screen etc, I couldnt believe what kind of a battery it would need to be HALF DECENT.
Companies should stop competing in cpu wars, display wars etc and really revolutionize a battery that will last at least a full 24 hours with moderate usage.

Interesting, I didn't see GPS on the feature list. Like its predecessor it looks like this phone won't come with GPS either.
Very sad for Samsung not to figure out GPS yet.
Looks like it might not be the real thing. Here's more info:

This isn't fake at all. I have a very good source at Samsung who can confirm this device, although those slides are not final. Like Engadget said, these slides are 100% real from Samsung... they just used an image of a different device to get their point across. Not meant to be seen by the whole world.
Anyways, the device (which can be confirmed real by Engadget, BGR, AndroidCentral) is called the Samsung Elite: http://briefmobile.com/new-samsung-elite-specifications
It is the successor to the Galaxy S line and it's due in early 2011 for announcement.

Sounds reasonable, I was wondering if it's samsung advertising our a mock up of what might come next.
People around here are so argumentative over things where they have no facts. Also I don't get what people expect of a phone, I find battery life between meets expectations to excellent depending on what rom and modem I'm running.
And where did the notion that amoled displays hog power come from? that's the opposite of true, I don't know what the droid x is like but go buy an evo and check the battery life, it's far from good.
I'm excited about the nexus s and hope the rom and kernel port to the captivate, I just wonder if the modem will be a problem, I'm guessing it will be hsupa+ (4g) and wonder if the hardware is the same in that area and if the modem file will support the att 3g bands, or will a froyo captivate modem.bin work in gingerbread? I'll have to wait and see. As for my next phone I'll wait for a dual core device.

Android Spec List for 2011 Holiday season

I got a spreadsheet going of a list of Android smartphones coming out in October and beyond. Feel free to edit/change whatever fixes need to be made.
goo.gl/bMFTS
Nice list. Just a few adjustments.
1) As far as I can tell the HTC Vigor will have HD screen, not a qHD. Minor, but still...
2) The HTC Ruby actually does have a qHD screen, but the res of qHD is 960x540, not 1280x720 (which is HD resolution)
3) No Droid HD? Maybe put it on there, but specs are scarce.
I don't think you've made it publicly editable, unless I'm just a fool.
EDIT: Also, is it just me or does the HTC Runnymede 2 have great specs, except for the low res screen. For that sort of price (if the link is to be believed) I'd expect at least qHD, probably HD res.
Quick question does the Samsung note have a stronger or better GPU than a Galaxy S 2? And I know the Samsung exynos chips are known to be battery savers how good are they power wise as strength and overclocking?

It will most likely be the same ARM-Mali 400 GPU. Its a more than capable GPU. Anandtech dug a little deeper on it recently.
What makes the Galaxy S II seem to drastically outpace newer devices like the Droid 3, whose 1 GHz OMAP 4 SoC also features an A9 processor? The special sauce, as Brian will delve into further in his upcoming review of the international Galaxy S II, is Samsung's ability to leverage the Mali-400 to accelerate UI elements and even elements of the browsing experience, as well.

Is shares the internals of the Note, which is probably nothing new: just a higher clocked Exynos soc. Nothing new to report after the GS2 actually, just some weak rumor...imho we'll have to wait for 2012 before we see something really "new" in terms of internals...

The only thing that worries me about the prime is the pentile display. The ones on the first galaxy s series were somewhat bearable for me but I hate the one on my atrix (luckily its a temporary phone), hopefully they make it a good display.

same. but i think its too soon to tell. from the research i've done, i have yet to come across any screenshots of the Droid Prime besides the one shown by techhog.com back in May 27. There were no capacitive buttons on this device.

Super AMOLED Pentile? that doesn't make sense...isn't that two different types of screens, how could it be both?
I wish the Sammy Note was coming to Verizon, I like it a lot..
EDIT: No such thing as the Droid Prime, wish people would stop saying that. It's NEXUS PRIME...It's been said billions of times, Droid Prime was said once and now it's everywhere -.- Why the hell would Samsung make two devices called almost the same thing with the exact same specs on the same carrier? Does that make any sense at all? No one would be able to tell what they actually have...
EDIT2 : Just a thought, but I'm pretty sure that the SG2 LTE version that was rumored is actually the Nexus Prime..just a thought though. The article was somewhere on Android and Me or Android Central, can't remember. Also sure that it will have LTE, just wouldn't make sense if it didn't, unless they do the same thing they did with the Nexus S and release a 4G version later down the line...(which i doubt)
EDIT3: Engadget says that the Note is HSPA+, so it's for T-Mo or AT&T. Should be corrected on the chart for people that don't know..

Samsung Galaxy SIII S3 & Nexus Prime rumours and specs

Rumours about Galaxy SIII are popping out. If SIII will have all the specs in this article, it's gonna be a blast. Guess we shouldn't worry about our SII getting old yet, cause it will probably take at least one year for SIII to be launched. Here's the article:
http://androidandme.com/2011/09/news/anonymous-4chan-user-lets-not-forget-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/
All I can say is WOW!!! That thing will be such a BEAST!!! I cannot WAIT till 2012 now!!! I will have to get the Galaxy NOTE to accompany my SII for now and when the SIII arrives I will definitely snatch it up!!!
BEAT THAT APPLE!!! LOL!!!

Hopefully by next year we'll get to see at least something that really makes use of dual-core. We're speaking about "OMG quad-core I NEED it" but still decent single cores run mostly any current app/game properly...
Got an SGS2 and still running the same stuff I used to run in my SGS1...hopefully I won't be running the same old stuff on a quad, penta or hexa core.

I hope one good outcome of all these Apple lawsuits is that Samsung could finally stop designing phones that closely resemble iPhones (Internaional versions of GS1 and GS2 with the big HOME button in the middle) or iPad (GTab 10.1). Making some truely unique looking phones, Samsung.

2.0 ghz quadcore? wow! it'll eat the batt again!
again, batt life will be a major problem, even with the alleged 2250 mah batt
I just heard a rumor that Galaxy S4 will have 4.95 in HD screen with 1680x1050 resolution, Tegra 4 with 8 cores and laser pen with refillable ink that can be used to write on paper or as a stylus on the phone. It also comes with an extended battery that can fit into your other pocket and charges wirelessly to SGS4.

I beg to differ: the majority of the time the phone will be in deep sleep or at minimal (200? Mhz) with minimal voltage.
And according to those rumours, it gonna be 28nm fabrication process (that means lower power consumption).

SGS2 is already enought powerful
All I want to see from the next galaxy s phone is the strength to take a fall without doing any considerable damage, something that is different in design to other phones and to have excellent battery life thanks to efficient power management and frequent updates in the Android OS.

no such thing as "enought powerful"
anyways, the source is 4chan. hardly the most reliable.
The only thing I am interested in are the UMTS band frequencies supported by next devices. I am tired of seeing tri- or quad-band android phones that are not necessarily compatible with every major countries. This means that you have then to wait for a specific version for your country, you are oftentimes stuck with carrier-specific phones, etc.).
And I am not talking about compatibility with new networks (LTE, 4G europe, etc.)...
Take the current generation of phones specs double them, release as rumor about new phone, repeat

Exactly the same situation here. If Samsungs new device sucks then its definately gotta be the S. Just hoping that the Galaxy's screen isnt as big as the One X's one. It's just too much... :what:

Well, even though it has it critics, and I do go through periods of using AOSP (and prob will on the S once it's available and stable) I still think Sense is the best custom UI on Android. Simple really, SGS3 can't match that element
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Supposedly its going to have a 1080p screen, to me this is a bad thing.
1) I bet it is bigger than the ONE S and I wasn't quite happy with the size of the ONE X
2) It takes more horse power to run it, so its processor and graphics may be higher but side by side performance will probably be similar due to it having to push more pixels about the place. Also.. 1080p.. on a phone... What's the F'in point??
First i'm 100% sure that Galaxy S III won't have 2gb of ram neither 1080p screen. Its a next generation and since theres obvious settlement betwen manufacturers you can expect same specs as One X. And i'm also pretty sure that it won't have SD card, every manufacturer stops using them, why should they use them, about removable battery i'm not sure, if new galaxy is gonna be thinner then i guess it will have non removable battery.
I think the S3 will have 4.7 screen, so its big, also display will be as good as X. About other specs - I suspect quad core processor, some good graphic component, rumors about 12mp camera.
But anyway, there are only rumors atm, and Im not fan of S2, so I will go for One S as soon as it avaible here

however a display bigger than 4,6" is much to big for my taste...
if thats going to happen, i probably will get myself a ONE S
If it takes T-mobile US as long as it did to get the Galaxy S 2....i'm not waiting.
But then again, i don't want to wait. Im tired of Samsung's plastic devices, ugly touch wiz, and international Galaxy S3 will be different from the US Galaxy S3, which will hinder dev support.
Im sure the one s will have great dev support like the sensation. Every one S around the world will be the exact same and will run the same roms.
The only thing i was hating about htc phones was the bad slcd screen, so happy theres amoled now, and i dont care if its pentile.

There is a rumor tht the one x is coming to Tmo with stock ics. I know the gs3 will be beast but I hate touchwiz and love sense. I had a mt4gs and now have a sg2 and touchwiz kills it. There is no stock ics that's working well, and no sense .: /. I want the One s or the One x one tmobile, but would get the gs3 if there is a stock ics rom

Samsung gps
I am ready to upgrade from my Vibrant. I like my Samsung but the GPS is crap. I'm not sure I would trust a Samsung gps. I keep waiting for the gps to run me over a cliff. Is any Samsung gps as good as HTC?
nothing compares to HTC GPS. I can get a lock in under 15 seconds. no tweaks.
i never lose the satellite. Its found me home many times
kinda yes, I really like GS2 and SAMOLED Plus is great. But we still don't know if GS3 will be SAMOLED HD or SAMOLED HD Plus. It's most likely be the same size as One X, packing same or better CPU, probably same or better quality camera, and most likely missing things like notification light and noise canceling mic.
Already got one s and prefer HTC build

Same boat as @tf442. I have a "first month out" Vibrant and GPS has been abysmal from the get-go. I have flashed at least a dozen ROMS (probably more)from Bionix, Trigger all the way to ICS 4.0.4 and they vary, but still no where near other manufacturers GPS. I will not give $$$ to Samsung since they went on the pine in acknowledging any issues with GPS. That, and quit with FROYO. Not good for a top-end phone at the time.
I am eligible for upgrade now, but I don't think I am going to. I might wait out until mid to end-year to upgrade. I am pretty satisfied with my G2 still. Everyone swears it's a great backup phone, but I like it as my main phone all the same.

[Q] [2013]Which Phone would you recommend

Hi there Xda
It's 2013, they promised the world would end, but APPLE still survived
I am sorry I am on team android
Technology changes so fast and I can't keep up, still I know nothing about the latest releases and I have been using a Galaxy SII and I loved it. Soon I will have to buy a new phone and there were some things I had in mind.
Good Screen Quality
4,5 inch+
Good Battery
Good performance
Rooting
BUILD QUALITY (I am quite unhandy, so I bought a SGII, it feel from stairs, tabels, on the street and it survived, SO YES, this is important
My old phone got stolen , so it's time for something new.
Any advice?
Next time, please use this thread. But try the galaxy s 3, note 2, or upcoming s 4

I was doubting between
Galaxy Note 2
Samsung 3
or
HTC one X
You can always get one from ebay. Though, if you don't want to, i'd recommend Droid Razr Maxx HD or Galaxy S3.
A nexus 4 seems to make sense for u
I'm using an S3, rooted and AOKP. I would recommend it to anyone. My device can preform with anyone in my opinion.
Xperia Z of Sony Or Note 2

Nexus certainly is!
But I regret that we are at the beginning of a promessing year.
Android will be pushed to Key Lime
Samsung will come up with a new display technology
1080p screens will be the norm
Quadcores will dominate the smartphone world
And prices might gone down, since new competitors are ready to storm the European market
And NOW I have to get myself a phone
Current Options[/B]
Galaxy S3
Galaxy Note 2
