Same. I'm holding onto my early upgrade waiting for it, then will be selling the Vibrant.
Dang it looks really similar to our phone.
I'm holding off for the HTC Pyramid, whenever that comes out, that phone looks sick nasty.

+1 this phone looks ridiculous. I just hope it feels better than the thunderbolt.
LG typically makes mediocre phones at best, at least in my experience.
According to most of the reports this thing is insanely fast. I for one am picking one up plus its running stock android and so far all the "g" series phones have large development communities.

lol, I'm not sure, check your local craigslist and eBay.
Screw it ill stick with this phone. I'd rather get better battery life with a slower phone. I mean this phone is already really fast and once there are custom roms out it will be even better. Ill be getting a new phone next year anyways because of the whole at&t thing.

Actually the dual cores have better battery life apparently because they don't kick in the 2nd processor until needed. That's what all the articles I've read have said.

Oh I just thought it would have worst battery life because it only has a 1500mah battery while an atrix has a 1900?mah battery and it gets the same battery life as our galaxy s in comparison videos.

not sure to be honest, but if you use Vplayer, you should'nt have an issue playing almost anything.
I've had a moment, evo 4g, epic, evo shift, optimus s, and nexus s 4g, and galaxy tab. Out of all of them, I think the epic had the best camera and camcorder. Camera because, even though it wasn't true to life, the colors really stood out. The camcorder because it could do 720p @ 30fps. Second place I think would go to the ns4g.
What are your opinions?
Nokia N8, best cam of any smartphone ever released.
well ive only had three, the Hero, EVO, and my beloved nexus s. Nexus s hands down the best one Ive had. Evo was great for outdoor shots but anything slightly dim wass trash. I belive the nexus records better(evo's HD recording was compressed to hell by HTC)
the x10 stock sony app was pretty baller.
Epic camera and camcorder no contest wish the nexus had the hardware

The Epic. One reason I really prefer Samsung devices.
My Xperia Arc had the best camera I'd ever seen on a cell phone, followed by my Captivate.
The Nexus S may not take very good video but I think the photos are on the level of the Captivates for sure.
Galaxy S hands down. I picked Nexus but then went back to Galaxy S cos of its camera. I have a 2 year old daughter and many moments to capture.

I have an HTC HD2, HTC Inspire 4G, Samsung Infuse 4G and Samsung Focus. I did have an HTC HD7. And out of all of these the iPhone 4 and Nexus S are the best.

Though the Nexus S is made by Samsung, it's made to Google's specs and standards. It truly is an outstanding phone...the Google iPhone. Disregard the Samsung moniker on the Nexus S. Consider it made by Google because it's all Google through and through.
I know Samsung phones tend to have lower-end cameras. My Focus and my Infuse both have less quality than the iPhone and Nexus S.
Had a chance to play around with a SGSII last weekend, this became my favorite Android-driven phone cam (, still beaten by the Nokia N8, but that's not an Android, Samsung is getting close).
To explain myself of why i prefer the epic camera (not galaxy s phones, the captivate is only equal to the nexus). The epic has an outstanding anti shake feature, it's quality is higher and I haven't found a light situation that it doesn't shine in. the video recording has a hd processor. Even at concerts, dark outside, the quality is great. Despite all this the nexus squashes the epic as an Android phone. That's why I use the nexus and keep an epic in my pocket for video.

Hi,
I have published some thoughts regarding the Nexus One vs. Nexus S and how the manufacturers handled the job. Would be great if you could give me feedback with your thoughts.
Which manufacturer can create the best Nexus experience?
http://smartphoneblogging.com/2011/...acturer-should-deliver-the-next-google-phone/
Ok, I'm not quite happy with what you've said...
Nexus one vs nexus s hardware.
Both are using different hardware. N1 using Qualcomm and ns using arm. If you compare both of them thoroughly, arm so much is better than Qualcomm. E.g. Fast, low battery usage.
Compare hardware and software isn't enough. You should compare camera, lens, video, screen colours, etc.

You can't be serious.
The wolfson DAC in our Samsung phones are the highest quality sound processors available in any phone.
Samsung is my new favorite phone manufacturer. HTC designs seem so played out these days. The Nexus S is still the sleekest phone on the market.
I wish I could see Johnny Cash holding a Nexus S. Black suit, shirt and phone.

Um...... Both companies use ARM based processors. In fact, every processor in every Android phone is ARM based. What you could say is that Samsung makes a better ARM processor than htc.

While i have not ever handled a nexus one personally. I have however spent quite a lot of time with the HTC desire, which is more or less identical to the nexus one.
In terms of hardware, the nexus s is overall superior on paper and in practise. The 540 gpu in the nexus s is far more powerful than the adreno in the nexus one/desire.
The hummingbird in the nexus s again gives more performance than the first generation snapdragon in the nexus one. Both got good cameras in my opinion.
In terms of sound and music, i think the Samsung nexus s has the best audio output I've ever experienced as an mp3 player. With voodoo control the audio is amazing. No other word to use. Try it and see.
Build quality comes down to preference i think. Both use somewhat different materials. I like both.
When it comes to looks? No doubt in my mind...the nexus s is the most sexiest looking thing in the smartphone business. So God damn sexy its silly...lol
The display is again down to preference i suppose. But Super AMOLED is something real special. The colours are amazing again. With voodoo controls it gets even better with more customization. Just Wow. If i ever go to normal LCD displays again, how i will survive without super AMOLED i do not know. Its awesome.
Where the nexus one shines however is the inclusion of SD card input. That's the only real feature i wish the nexus s had. Also, although it has not been a problem for all the last 11 months I've had the handset, i do wish we had at least 1 gig of ram instead of the 512 mgb available.
Overall i think Samsung did a terrific job with the nexus s. Their hardware overall, and I'm not just speaking of Smartphones, are more often than not simply excellent. Quality through and through.

Everything else is fine, but I can't agree with this. Desire has very very bad camera in my opinion. Camera in Nexus S is not great, but it is way better.
The things you mentioned have been covered by a lot of reviews. I wanted to look from different angles.
Regarding hardware: I had the Nexus S and Nexus One side by side for some time. Both running gingerbread, and the Nexus S wasn't faster than the Nexus One. Only games are better and more fluid. I even had some instances where my Nexus S would freeze, never had such issues with the Nexus One.
In the end benchmarks don't tell anything, because the real life usage counts, and there is no big performance jump from Nexus One to Nexus S.

Yeah, the whole lcd vs. AMOLED issue is a matter of personal taste. Some people prefer AMOLED colors, others LCD clearness.
Since Samsung introduced super AMOLED plus (without Pentile matrix) the AMOLED screens have perfect text too. Finally no fuzzy text.

Hmm what's so special about the Nexus S hardware design? The Nexus One was really unique. Yes HTC used the Nexus One base for nearly any other phone, but at the time of the release there was no phone looking like the Nexus One.

I can confirm that the Nexus S performs much better with graphic intensive stuff like games. But on regular usage the Nexus One is not slower than the Nexus S. That surprised me as I was expecting the Nexus S to be generally more snappy.

Hmm... To design innovation...
Nexus One comes with a colored chassis, with physical buttons and colored trackball and deep, sunk LCD display.
Nexus S comes with fully black chassis with fully black LED display with unique curved display and white haptic feedback touchkeys.

Hello,
How are you? I am considering a One S, but the camera is an important feature for me, especially in regard to image quality.
So, with that in mind, I would like to know how is the camera on the One S, in regard to the lens and sensor. Is it exactly the same on the One X?
Thank you.

The GS 3 camera isn't better, in some shots, it is, however, in other shots it isn't, overall for photos, they are more or less the same, neither are far better.
The S (and X I think?) struggle with bright reds a bit though (become far too over saturated and you just get a glow effect, have to reduce the saturation by one level when you are taking a photo of a red petal etc.)
1080P recording is far better on the GS 3 though, the light metering and smoothness is great when compared to the one S/X. However, the stereo audio recording sucks (unless it has been fixed recently?).
The 2 things, which are far better on the X and S without a doubt is the camera UI and features.
Whilst both the X and S are the same for camera, the 1080P video recording looks smoother and better on the S and I think the photos from the X look sharper[some have said that the S photos look sharper] (although there isn't a big enough difference to worry about)
You can see my photos here:

I currently have a galaxy note. But I am a bit tired of the big size. I would like a phone to be able to handle with one hand.
Has such, I am afraid the One X might still be to big.
So I am eyeing the S.
The price difference is just 50 euros here between the two.
I would also like a better camera because I am leaving my camera at home more often and relying on my phone camera...
So? Is the one S a good choice?
is the camera an upgrade from my note in IQ and low light shooting?

My question is do you think the slow focus time is software and will get better? If not I'm selling my nexus and keeping my One. Does anyone else have kids they use their phones to take pictures of? I love my nexus but I can't get it to focus quick enough to get a picture of my son. The HTC One takes them so much faster than the Nexus.

The Nexus is better at low light in my opinion and also at portraits or scenes with no moving people... I'm very impressed with that aspect, but when I'm taking portraits I have a good camera for that.

Generally the stock Android camera app is regarded as being pretty terrible.
Replace it with a store app like Focal (which should be getting an update for the Nexus 5 soon, if not already). The camera itself is great.
Thanks, I hope that is soon.. I tried using nexus at 5mp still just as slow
