Hello guys!
I'm looking to purchase a new phone, I have narrowed my choices and my budget down to either the HTC Wildfire S or the Samsung Galaxy Ace.
I just want to know your opinions to find out which one is the better phone, and which one is better value for money.
I can buy the HTC Wildfire S for £175 (Including £10 Top Up) on Three.
I can buy the Samsung Galaxy Ace for £145 (Including £15 Top Up) on Three.
Which one is better overall?
I know the Samsung has a better CPU than the HTC but doesn't the HTC run a better version of Android? Or do they both run 2.3?
I want the phone for general use- a lot of texting, a few phone calls, browsing facebook a couple of times a day, and checking emails once a day. I'm not looking to hack or flash custom roms etc, just practical use.
Thank you for all your replies in advance, they will be greatly appreciated.

Personally I would avoid the wildfire and go for the galaxy ace.
Will run better and smoother I'm sure.I've only briefly seen the galaxy but hated my original wildfire! I have the s2 so have started to really like Samsung so far in comparison to HTC handsets!

Thank you for your reply, I've heard good and bad things from both handsets but still undecided- so far im swinging towards the Ace mostly because it has a bigger screen and i know Samsung have good customer support (From experience) whilst i have heard HTC are dreadful in that department.
Thanks
No problem,let up know what you go for in this thread! hopefully you will be typing with your New phone! Plus if you need assistance feel free to ask!

go for samsung Ace.. wildfire has a really smallscreen and poor battery.. i hav used it .. though sense ui is a killer thing but if yu like bigger screen nd better processor nd battery go for Ace
Htc wildfire s is even slower than the gio, which is much cheaper.. and the ace is the better version of the gio. Buy the ace

Thanks for your replies guys, im going for the Galaxy Ace, not only because it is cheaper but because you all seem to know what you're talking about, so im taking your word for it! Ill hopefully be picking it up before Christmas, or as soon i sell my old phone and 'lend' the money from my parents!
Thank you.
Wildfire S
I would go for Wildfire S without any doubt.Wildfire S performs better than Ace in benchmarks,it has more RAM,Sense UI,design and build quality is great,touch sensitivity is better.Ace's processor is same as Wildfire S,only factory overclocked to 800 MHz.The only problem is battery life ,a little too short and internal memory,150 Mb user available compared to 180 Mb of Ace.

i Want to buy a new Mobile Fone & the budget is around 18500INR.
So which mobile do u people suggest ???
but The OS should be ANDROID.
i Have Following Devices on my Mind, but cant decide which one is good.
1. Samsung Galaxy S {21000INR}
2. Samsung Galaxy SL {18500INR}
3. Samsung Galaxy ACE {14400INR}
My choice is, but not limited to the above devices, so please giveme your suggestions ??
there are many gud phones for example htc wildfire, LG optimus one P500, htc desire etc but which one u like just do a lot of research about that phone and make sure it is gud
If you are aiming for that price, I recommend to get the Desire because it has one of the strongest community with many custom ROMs.
With the Desire, you can even get the all new Gingerbread + Sense 3.0 (from Flyer, Sensation, etc.).
The second recommendation from me for that price will be the Samsung Galaxy S. Galaxy S has more internal memory than Desire and AMOLED screen.

i Dont want desire as it has many disadvantages over Galaxy S/Galaxy SL
1. Screen Size is smaller 3.7 vs 4.0
2. Doesnt have a secondry Camera {so no Video Calling}
3. Smaller ROM
& Moreover i dont like the Menu Style of Sense UI s Compared to TouchWiZ of Samsung
Some don't like Desire some do not like Galaxy S, but again, as I said before, Galaxy S is still among my recommendation.
I do not know Galaxy SL because I have never used it at all.
Galaxy S is also a very gud phone but it has a big screen (which might not fit in my pocket).....and that's it otherwise if ur ready to cash out on a sweet phone like then go ahead but just do a little research and then buy it(experience).....Hope u have fun!!
I would go for Samsung Galaxy S or HTC Desire.
Both good phones. I guess the Galaxy has the better display (AMOLED).
Hope you make the right choice.

Desire,
Up sides:
- The main advantage of Desire is the diversity of custom ROMs available + the unbelievable strong community.
- Sense UI (believe me, this is one of the main reason why I always bought HTC)
- Case/body feels better in the hand than Galaxy S.
The down sides: SLCD (for new Desires, the old ones have AMOLED), low internal memory size, pseudo-multi-touch screen.
Galaxy S,
Up sides:
- The main advantage of Galaxy S is the bigger sized internal memory.
- AMOLED screen, true multi touch screen.
The down sides:
- you will get custom ROMs but not as many as by Desire and the community is not as strong Desire although still one of the strongest community.
- Touchwiz is iPhonish
- The case/body feels cheaper than Desire.
Edit: Galaxy S is bigger...this is an advantage during internet browsing but down side if you wanna put it in your pocket.
Very powerful phones these two are:
HTC Sensation for £429.99 on o2
Samsung Galaxy S2 for £439.99 on o2 also.
Well the features are brilliant on both of them, but I'm stuck deciding which one I want to buy.
Well guys can I get opinions on both of them?
Thanks.
I might be biased but I would love the sgs2
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Well for £10 less I can get a better resolution, a nicer UI and a better camera! Hmm!
Yeh but its heavy.. Worse battery and not as fast?
Well weight isn't a contributing factor for me and the ROMs are fast enough ain't they?
SGS2 Is the fastest phone available (source - Antutu Benchmark Rankings). Add to that the beautiful Super AMOLED screen and you've got a winner.
I'd definitely suggest the Samsung Galaxy S2. I got my hands on it for a few days and its worth the money

I think you are one of them who never can decide because it will "soon" come something even better. Reading all the specs and knows its pros & cons so you can talk against the seller when you are in the phonestore etc .
So my bet is that you will stick to your X8 util Xmas
....But you know what, I´ll do the same ;-)
The Samsung Galaxy S II has the better screen, and from what I've seen it makes better pictures. Also the battery for the SGSII is better: Li-Ion 1650 mAh vs. the Li-Ion 1520 mAh from the HTC Sensation. But the differences are not that great, and the HTC Sense from the Sensation is a great UI, and if you use a custom ROM from LeeDrOiD you can get a greater experience from the Sensation.
Hi guys,
I have a question i didn't know where to post this concedering its not for a particular device or platform so i posted it here any way here is my question i have a HTC EVO 3D and i want to upgrade,why do i want to upgrade 2 reasons number one screen size its too small i had a GALAXY Note so when i went back to the EVO its small and the second one is the Processor its fast but not too fast anyway i was planning on buying the GALAX S III international version when it comes out but after i saw the price i was surprised its 800$ for the 16 GB so im stuck with the following and i need an advice (of course if by the time the S III comes out the price drops to around 600-650 i'll buy it )
Here are the phones im thinking of (and if u have other phones please tell me)
1- HTC One X international version
2-HTC Titan II
3-GALAXY Note
Please help thank you.

I'd go for the Note. Cheaper and overall better. Sure the One X is quadcore, but Tegra kinda sucks so the extra buck you have to add isn't really worth it. Titan is quite meh.

Go for the One X , the screen is better the CPU is very fast and the GPU with custom roms increase the phones overall performance. I would only recommand the GALAXY Note if you email a lot because it feels like the note is designed for the business person in mind.
I don't know what kind of prices you got there guys but here the Note is about 200€ cheaper than the One X, which isn't that much better, not like 200€-better for sure IMHO. It actually is inferior for some aspects, like screen size (and pentile ain't bad on a 5.3"), removable battery, sd slot, and that pen thing that is mostly a gimmick but oh well. Once it gets even cheaper I'll definitely pull the trigger on one of those. I used one for a day last week, coupled with an extended battery and a Rii Keyboard it proved to be a very nice and portable mini tablet, the tablet mode you get on AOSP ROMs is also pretty sick. Not a great fan of those new Htc phones with locked bootloaders and all that jazz. ICS sources for the Note have just been released by the way, even better ROMs will come very soon, even tho AOKPs are already 99% hack free and rock solid.

Use a website like phonescoop.com to compare them side-by-side. See exactly what each specs are and which one has the specs you really care about. That would be of great help.

HTC One X
HTC Sence UI beats Note in 100 ways
Why not the nexus. Its much cheaper than the s3 and its a great phone. Still one of the best and probably the best price/goodness ratio.
galaxy note is the best
i have one and it's greate
I like the GALAXY Nexus cause of its display and stock ICS but i use SD Card so i need a phone with an option to expaned my memory but i kept the HTC One X cause of its Quad Core Processor
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
I dont know the price is kinda of an issue but and the screen size (im a fan of the 5"screens) its of course better in preformance no doubt but im from the few fans of the Touchwiz UI its more simple than the Sense UIor maybe cause im used to it i had 3 devices with TouchWiz so i find it easier but still the HTC One X stunning camera,preformance and display is a plus
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
Ok but the One X have a worst battery than the EVO 3D....
Galaxy Note or Galaxy S2.. with additional batteries
if easy to hold better take s2 if you want better take galaxy note or tab
I dont know but HTC devices tend to have bad battery life for some reason LOL
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
Galaxy Note very big I think.. You can't touch all screen by one hand, sometimes I you'll need that.. S2 The Best!
HTC good but not good enough
It's a year in, and I'm still really enjoying my Samsung infuse. true 4g would be nice, but the devs are working on Miui ICS and it looks awesome
i used all of them. my advice is : GALAXY Note is a good one if you don't mind the big size. then chose GALAXY S2 !

4g is good.. very good.. great, but in some places there is no 4g unfortunately only 3g or worst.
I'd like my S2 to have 4g, but it's not.. Maybe you'd better wait for S3?
I dont mind the big screen actually i want something bigger than 4.3" i dont know why many people think its too big im really into big devices but not over 5.3" cause that would be really inconvienent for a mobile phone thats why i kept in mind choices like the HTC Titan 1/2 cause i really like the Metro UI and WP is kinda between the line of simplicity and costumizations still android is the best im freaking confused guys tell me more about ur experiance with the devices ur advising thanks

Hi everyone,
I had recently sold my HTC Desire and now I'm looking to buy new (used) phone and I'm deciding beetween i9000 Galaxy S and Desire S. And maybe i9001 Galaxy S+. Used phones goes in my prices range so please don't tell me buy SII or SIII because I don't have that much money .
So I'm looking for some comments, which phone is better? I'm going to install JB on one of that two so tell me on which one it runs better and with less bugs and more options. For me pros of i9000 is 4.0" AMOLED screen, better CPU and GPU and more internal memory, but Desire S has flash on it's camera and more RAM memory. So is Desire S much better because of it's more RAM memory? Or i9000 kicks it's ass ?
And is i9001 better than i9000?
So if there are some i9000 and Desire S users hit me with comments so I can decide which one to buy .
And yes, I'm going to use my phone to install JB and ICS so tell me which one is better, and for some casual games, web browsing, etc...
And which one has bettery battery life?
And which one has more avaliable RAM while runnig JB or ICS?
Which one is going to run game like Angry Birds on JB or ICS? And some games like that one
Right now I'm looking forum for ROMs and hopefully someone will write his comment and answer to me .
Hi, i advice u to i9001 cause of the specs, it better than the other two. It will soon have fully functional cm10 and 10.1.

Hello everyone! I am planning on upgrading my Samsung Epic 4G. I am debating on the following 4 phones:
- Samsung Galaxy S2
-ZTE Warp Sequent
- HTC Evo Design
- HTC One SV
Those four phones are from Boost Mobile, since that is where I have my service from.
I am basically looking for speed and reliability. Love to take photos and videos as well. I use the navigation feature a lot. Things I hate most on a phone are lag, freeze, force closes, random reboots, and lack of internal space.
I will be researching on these phones but I was wondering what are your ideas? I know lots of people here are pros and would love your input.
Thank you all in advance!
EDITED:
I just realized this should have been posted in the "Which Phones To Buy" Thread...... I tried to delete this thread but couldn't figure it out. .I apologize for this inconvenience.
For me between the four phones you're hesitating, I would have chosen the HTC One SV. His performance are pretty good performance and it's not too expensive.
But if you are a flashaholic, the Galaxy S2 is obviously the better choice there are plenty of roms and kernels which make that the phone is still very good despite the fact that it is a bit old.
In term of photos and videos, I think that the HTC One SV is the best one.
Sorry man but I do not know a lot about the two other phones so i can't give you my opinion.
Anyway both phones are very good, the manufacturers and the phones are well known so you shouldn't be deceive by these phones but I will personally have chosen the HTC One SV or the Galaxy S2.

Thanks! Much appreciated! So far, I'm gearing towards the S2, although I kind of wish I can get the S4 but financially I cant.....but will continue to do my homework on the other phones I've listed. Thanks again!
If I helped please hit "thank", that will really help me

I've had the S2 for 2 years, in that price range, you won't find a better phone in it's basic form, never mind the extras through modded Roms
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
For me, I will choose Samsung Galaxy S2,
Due to I use Sony, Iphone, Moto, I think I should have a try on Samsung.
I advise you to take a S2
I would go for the HTC One SV. I have the HTC One S and I just love the HTC Sense look and feel. Additionally, everything runs smooth, the phone is not too small and not too big and fits perfectly into my pockets.
galaxy s3 is very good choice after all
Thanks everyone! Well, after doing some heavy research, looks like the Samsung Galaxy S2 is the winner! Although I would love to take the S3 but financially, I can only do the S2. There are plenty of Roms, Kernels, and tweaks for the S2. I love the fact that the S2 is fully customizable. The specs for the price is great. For $199, you can't be it. Now, to find the perfect Rom......
