I am pretty happy with my 4month old galaxy s ii, but does anyone has this crazy thought of selling your galaxy S II to switch over to Galaxy nexus? Or will you stick with your current Galaxy S II?
I was thinking it may be a good time to experience pure google, but the hardware is certainly losing out to Galaxy S II.
I'll probably stick with my SGSII if we get ICS ( Which will probably happen ). 4,65 inch is too big for me .

I'm going to swap my sgs2 for a galaxy note! Because of the screen size It's likely to get ics quite early. Plus most of the hardware is same or better than sgs2.

There's a good chance that we'll get a basic Android 4.0 port from the Nexus Prime before we get the Touchwiz version of it, so I'm sticking with the SGSII. Best of both worlds hopefully!

I am trying so hard to resist selling my S2 to buy a Galaxy Nexus when it is released!
Nope sticking with the SGSII, the camera on the Nexus is only 5MP which is very surprising and clearly not as good as the SGSII camera, the screen too is just too big.
Will probably wait for the Galaxy S3 next year,im amazed at some people jumping ship all the time, they must have plenty of money too.
The camera(front and back going by the sample pics ) on the Galaxy Nexus is is also worse then Galaxy S2....So definitlly not.

No way of selling my SGS2 for a 4.65" nexus.
Too BIG
The only thing I don't like about Samsung is that it takes forever to do a single update… ~.~.

Exactly...but especially those guys saying the galaxy note with the 5.3inch screen is ok size. Excuse me, but I like putting my phone in my jean pocket, and its already tight with the sgs2.....
I have a SGS2 but if I had the money I buy immediatley a Galaxy Nexus xD
Waiting to see how ICS will be implemented on the SGS2.
ICS native rez is now 1280x720 which our belived SGS2 is not.
And the soft keys...well no more physical keys on ICS

I bought to my wife the new xperia mini ST15i with 1ghz and i can say i am impressed and by default screen off animation .
5mp camera hd,fast amazing!!!
I'm ready to buy one for myself too
Considering it, as I'm tired of having to wait for each update for android. I also doubt the OMAP4460 is going to be any slower than the Exynos under ICS.
Definitley not.. I love my s2 and judging by the reviews of galaxy nexus, it's not worth it..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I'm still a bit disappointed the SGS2 didn't have NFC
OMAP4460 Is pretty much the same cpu performance, grathics will be a bit worse, but more highend games have powervr versions so it will be much of a muchness.
Though due to the higher screen resolution might be a bit slower.
I am very tempted by the galaxy nexus, ics quickly and ota updates from google, go fast updates!
We shall see how much it costs, my mother wants an android phone so maybe I can flog my sgs2 to her.

I got the captivate in January, followed by the HTC inspire on release day, followed by the infuse on release day as well. 3 weeks after I got infuse, I returned it and got my S2 in June and for the first time ever, i was, and still am extremely happy with my S2 and have no intentions of upgrading until the S3. No need to. This phone is the bomb in my opinion. I would like to try ice cream sandwich, not going to buy a phone just for a new operating system, which with eventually get ported to the S2 and definitely be shipped on the S3

I was thinking about switching to a galaxy nexus today because I can technically get it for free if I give up my S2, but I am not sure if it is a good move or not.
With the S2 having full cyanogen and miui support, the only 2 roms I really use, the only thing it seems like I would gain with the nexus is a bigger screen.
Is anyone going to switch to the nexus? If so, why are you switching? I don't want to switch and then regret it. I only have until the 21st to be able to get the galaxy nexus for free so I am going to have to make a decision without being able to see the phone in person.
I'm considering it but the cost is off putting because I'll have to buy off contract. I like the idea of a pure Google phone and the bigger screen would be nice

My contract was up 3 weeks ago, so i thought about waiting for the nexus, or getting the gs2, the no sd card was the decider for me, that and an sure the gs community will bee bigger then the nexus community, though granted both will be big enough
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Most of the enhancements are because of ICS, which we will get in a couple months anyway. The bigger screen isn't much different because the size includes the part of the screen that will display the buttons. If you measured to the end of our buttons, we'd have almost the same screen size (the resolution is great but its also pentile). The camera is a toss up (Nexus shoots faster, we have 3 more megapixels). NFC doesn't matter yet for me in the US (I have never seen a place to pay for anything with NFC, not even one time).
Bottom line, If I had the choice, I'd rather have the Nexus. It will get the fastest software updates and its great hardware. But its not worth spending a lot of money on coming from the GSII which will be 95 percent as good once we get ICS.
Both are similar in my opinion...galaxy wins on extra sd support,camera and will get ics finally..also is more pocket friendly..nexus is taller...
Nexus has a better screen.....
I will wait for galaxy s3
If it had Super Amoled PLUS, I would.
Im getting it but I wouldn't switch. The Hardware acceleration probably be better on the S2 due to better GPU + Lower screen resolution. Also the downside of not having micro sd slot.
I've ordered it at Amazon but is due for 2nd Decemeber (sucks!) but probably be returning it after some fun use with it (14 days policy).
Apparently Galaxy Nexus is not getting Flash also, together with many other issues like no sd-card, worst camera, no Touchwiz and other stuff, nasty pentile screen with higher battery drain, huge uncomfortable size.
I took my decision for SII when I could get Nexus Prime, as far as I know many are completely ignoring Nexus and will hopefully wait for the next gen SIII.
I would have if I was able to transfer my 64GB MicroSDXC card to it.
No offence to the OP but there has already been several threads relating to this please use search function.

Where is this no flash business?
I just got SGSII. I used Infuse 4G which has 4.5" screen, and I think SGSII screen size is perfect. As others mentioned, only benefit with Galaxy Nexus is ICS. But I think I can wait couple of month for ICS update on my SGSII. I'm pretty happy with mine.

ATT customers are going to be so freaking confused with all the different models of Galaxy S2 available in store and online
I wish Samsung would spend more time taking care of it's current customers by pushing ICS. I know it's about making money but seriously, it's current customer base needs to be happy too. Three Galaxy S models on AT&T. That's just retarded and seems like overkill.
ATT gets so much love from smartphone manufacturers and they are the absolute WORST carrier EVER! EVER! When I was switching carriers I had them for less than a week and it was the worst experience I've had owning a phone since I was on Metro PCS many, many moons ago.
I had an average of 3 dropped calls per day, and they completely f*cked up my very first bill. Overcharging me for crap I did not order. Three phone calls and three visits to the ATT store and they still could not get it right. The third trip was to return everything and tell them where they can stick it, and they are STILL trying to charge me for a month's use when I didn't even have the phone 5 days.
I don't understand why they get so many good phones. It's irritating!
Damn, if I had AT&T and was one of the people to get the first SGS2 I would be BEYOND mad. You buy the latest and greatest for it to be at least relevant for 5-6 months before something else comes out, main reason why I sold my sensation once the Amaze was announced.
i wonder how many people Samsung and Motorola just pissed off with these devices....i mean seriously....Droid Razr Maxx??? Razr just frickin released...although another Skyrocket device should mean another phone where we can use their development, correct?
and yea, the skyrocket is a nice device (and the new one) but id honestly love a device with the Exynos, so if it were me, id probably get the first version

Android is out of control. New phones monthly and lack of support for older phones. Google seems to not care. What's even worst is all these phones all run gingerbread. You buy the newest and greatest and you get last years software.

Personally, the Snapdragon has left a sour taste. Maybe its TouchWiz's fault. Thankfully the SkyRocket, the HD and the Note are all Snapdragon - pushing more pixels with the same CPU = good luck with that. Ergo, not that disappointed.

Looking forward to it. Although my S2 is pretty bad ass. Hard to imagine how much better it will get.
Powered by the SGSII....
Looks like most of the phone is the display, no haptic keys. Any rumors on the physical dimensions of the phone. From the image, i'd guess it's a little less than 5" diagonal. So, perhaps it's just slightly bigger physically than the S2. I'm hoping for at least 720p resolution on this bad boy lol.
this is dumb as all hell. why dont we just go buy an iphone with one button besides the volume, camera and power buttons. im all for new phones but im not getting sold into the hype of every damn phone coming out. how is it people get suckered into 2 year contract just for a "newer better" phone to be released in the next three months. c'mon people grow a damn brain. im pretty sure thats why alot of devs are still on the htc sensation because its still about half a year old.
IMO Samsung is the only smart phone manufacture whose flagship is worth 2 year contract, with their hardware staying to current performance standards for about 1.5 years after release. Saying from my vibrant experience and seeing what is happening with GS2 (not the US LTE versions that came out late with different hardware). Also Samsung has a clear strategy with their flagship unlike HTC, LG, Motorola etc who bring out so many flagships in quick succession, they don't know what they are doing. Now if SG3 is released with penta band support i would pick up the international version and stay on t-mobile without extending contract.

The original SGS Vibrant came out 8 months or more before the 4G so yes, Samsung Android phones do stay "current" for the next 1.5 years stated.
The dual-core processor is limited to very few phones so a 1 Ghz with a GPU phone processor from almost 2 years ago is incredible.
When T-Mobile released the SGS4G, it was primarily because the Vibrant and all other Galaxy S variants were so successful. Samsung and T-Mobile wanted to milk the franchise before the S2 was released.
4.8 does seem HUGE coming from another phone, but it's kinda like coming from the Vibrant to this phone. At first it seems collosal but easy to get used to. I haven't seen the Note in person but honestly it looks monstrous in the commercial. Not sure I'd wanna go any bigger than the S2.

I'm definitely buying it , I got to get outta this dev community on this version of this phone , don't get me wrong I love the phone but the development sucks and its too childish in here and that's why I mainly stay away, hopefully with a different phone it will be better or at least the forum community will hopefully be better
Meh... I'm not upgrading until T-Mo comes out with the Note or something comparable. 4.8 inches isn't big enough for me to consider it an upgrade. 5.3 or bust, IMO.

Hey guys, I'm planning on getting a new phone contract and I'm really debating on 2 phones.. the Galaxy Nexus and the Galaxy S3.
I'm right now using a Nexus S which I'm really happy with but Rogers is offering a really nice plan extremely better than my actual one and cheaper.
I'm just looking for some opinions from you guys to help me chose.
Thanks.
I never understood this kind of a question. It is just too subjective with so many factors. If having the latest and greatest software is important go with a Nexus. If not....you really need to compare and decide what is right for you. They are both great phones. I suggest handling them both and get a good feel for each.

S3 is supposedly getting updated to JB late in the fourth quarter 2012.
If you can wait, well then I say go for the S3, if not then go with the Nexus. Personally, my opinion is to grab the S3. You are on XDA after all! Grab yourself a custom Jelly Bean ROM! (The devs are everywhere on the S3 thread, expect one to come out soon if it hasn't come already.)
Definitely the s3 if you are a rooter or not because even tho the s3 doesn't have jelly bean officially its definitely worth the wait. The s3 has a faster processor, better screen, more ram, bigger battery, and overall newer hardware! Its worth the wait for jelly bean!

SGSIII if you like modding, installing new ROM's etc,
Nexus if not as you will get the latest firmware more or less first.
hi maxx1601! i've a galaxy nexus and personally i think is the best android phone for some reason: first it's the official google phone, so the android developing is based on it and with jelly bean google resolved the few ICS's bugs; second it has a dual core cpu (is enough for all android operation and using, we don't need more), that make battery good against the gsIII that has in my opinion too many power enhancements like quad core cpu ecc. that cause battery drain under android, has got a user interface that is second to google pure UI, that personally love; gsIII has olso a too big display ( nexus display is enough bigger, good for browsing, gaming, texting, using apps like maps and google earth that need a large display). my advice is to buy the galaxy nexus, and don't forgot, the price is olso a good thing to keep in mind it costs only 399 $ now ( mabe less i don't know) and is full supported for updates by google and developers that have a solid base made by google. i hope it helps, I wish you have a good choice! :fingers-crossed:

And samsung was supposed to have ICS for most of their phones in the first quarter and didnt release them until the 3rd quarter. Thats probably the nicest thing about owning the nexus you know that you will get the updates and you will get them on time. The SIII will get support for updates until the next flagship samsung phone comes out and then they will put it on the back burner just like they did with the SII, skyrocket etc... That was the most frustrating part when i had my skyrocket, i had a phone that was less than a year old, had decent hardware and i knew it would probably never get updated past ICS, because once the SIII came out samsung and AT&T had moved on.

Hey ive got an Galaxy Nexus now for over two month and I must say its just awesome, especially in combination with these forums (There are tons of good roms for the GNEX=
The best part about the phone is the stock android experience but thats personal preference.
I also tested the S3 and its a great phone but i dont like the Samsung custom Software that much.
I've had the Galaxy s3 for about a month now and love it.the camera options are awesome, decent selection of ROMs available and some cool compatibility programs if you have dlna devices at home.
Samsung Galaxy SIII (SPH-L710)
Hi guys hoping you can help.
Ive had my Xperia Play since new, but its screen has gone and feels slow compared to my mates phones now.
Ive been offered the choice of 3 phones.
Nokia Lumia
Samsung Galaxy s3
Xperia U
Im only really interested in making calls,texts,emails,music,browsing and games. All the other special features that come with all new phones are just a gimmick to me, (My X Play was rooted and bloat free within an hour of me getting it) so things like "Siri" on Iphone and S-Voice on Samsung are not a deal winner for me.
One thing I would like is to be able to hook my phone up to my TV via HDMI, something that was GREATLY overlooked on the Xplay, mores the pity.
So, seeing as im no expert, and you guys at XDA seem to be in the know please vote and if you pick "other" leave a comment explaining what phone and why.
Many thanks guys and gals!
Mr Flipfoot
it is also depending on what you want to pay for it
if it doesn´t matter what it cost
i would choose the s3 by samsung cause it has the best performance i think (and many custom roms of course and official update support)
you could connect it to your tv with the following adapter by samsung:
EPL-3FHUBE
(sry i can´t post a link because im a new member )
I would choose Samsung S3 because of the performance. If you're a mean android gamer then it's great for you. But if I really get to choose, I'd love to have Xperia acro S. It has 12MP, 1.5 dual core, HDMI, 11GB internal memory, up to 32 GB SD card and others.. It also looks sleek. You should search for it. I'm not much on the processor speed. I just love Sony's design and features. A fast, beautiful phone that could do everything I want would be great enough. This is just a suggestion. The decision is yours of course.
It all depends on
1 what is your budget

Galaxy S3 FTW!
Everyone on this forums is going to recommend you buy the GS3. And it's for a reason, it IS the best phone out there hands down.

That's a statement based solely on opinion. The 15 million owners obviously don't think its ugly.
But go for S3. It's got beastly specs

I agree with this. People always look at a Nexus' specs and go "it looks totally average, why get that when you can get a Galaxy S III or blahblahblah". Hardware specs will only get you so far. What good are they, though, when your software is perpetually bloated and outdated? I'd rather not be at the mercy of Samsung/HTC/whoever for updates.
The Nexus development scene is second to none, too.

Im only really interested in making calls,texts,emails,music,browsing and games.
One thing I would like is to be able to hook my phone up to my TV via HDMI, something that was GREATLY overlooked on the Xplay, mores the pity.

Wait for the Note II to come out.
(I'm presuming that you're very interested in games, browsing etc.)
I know i'm getting hated for saying this but am i the only one that thinks the S3 is overrated? I'd rather have a Galaxy Nexus than an S3. And there are quite a few alternatives to the S3 like the One X (Many reviewers say it has the best screen out there), the 4X HD (Also IPS LCD like the One X but with bigger removable battery and microSD slot), the Galaxy Nexus (Sure, it isn't a quad core but if you check out on youtube a comparison between the GN and a quad core phone you will see that the Nexus can be as smooth (On JellyBean) or even smoother not to mention you get all the updates first) also the RAZR MAXX (It might not be the best phone spec wise but it has a huge battery which provides excellent battery life).
Sorry for the bad english.
