I have a HTC Flyer but am scared that its dead already. I'm looking for a 7.0. I don't want the Kindle unless its easily rooted because it can't deal with them crazy skins. So anyways Im stuck on the Samsung 7.0 Plus vs. Acer 100. Any advice is appreciated.

Exynos better than Tegra but less apps or games built for Exynos. Maybe the Chainfire 3d can fix some of it but won't know until we try. More than likely though it runs smoother since SAMSUNG is best at efficiency for android.

Yea I know Tegra can barely handle flash. Well I guess ill return the flyer and try the 7.0. I don't play too many games anyway. I just want something portable and with a decent life span. Samsung has already said it will be upgraded to 4.0 and HTC NOTHING.

I would recommend the samsung because they make quality products and are one of the better android brands
the new Samsung tab 7 is better then the a100, but its also a lot pricier. if you can afford it, go Samsung. if not, i think you'll be plenty happy with the Acer.
i don't know if i would pick the 7 plus when 7.7 is literally right around the corner with a faster exynos and HD SAMOLED+ screen
I would think about the 7.7 over the 7 Plus as the 7.7 has the more standardized 1280x800 resolution though I'm not sure its going to matter for much longer.
So I was wondering what would be the best phone running android right now?
-best graphics
-best cpu
-easier to hack/mod
?
IMO it's the Samsung Galaxy S2. Although, some will argue the Nexus.
If you can wait until May, the S3 may be a contender though...

I agree... the S2 is just too damn awesome. Too bad the battery is the only (and a BIG one at that) disappointment!
Have you seen any un-rumoured pics of the S3 though? Please point me to some links, if yes.

Yea... S2 FTW!! and Note FT~bigger~W!!
I haven't used the Note yet; but seeing that it's S2's BIG Brother, there's no doubt that it's a tad bit more awesome
Had I waited 5 months, I'd have bought Note early this month for the same price that I paid for my S2 back then (July 2011). However, Note won't fit my pocket; so I'm not cryin' like a baby over this.
My answer to the thread: There's no real "BEST Android phone" in the market yet. Android has a long way to go... So, Google.. if you (or your robots) are reading this post, improve Android fast.. real fast. And solve the damn battery drain issues. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
Sweet. So I do have the best phone out there right now.

Agreed that the S2 is probably the best Android phone at the moment. And your battery life issues are whisked away with updates, so don't worry about that.
See my signature, the SGSII remains the best of them all
My vote has to go to the Samsung Galaxy SII .
I'll buck the trend and say Galaxy Nexus. The SII is a very close second though.
yes i will agree with everion the galaxy s 2
S2 is the current, GLOBAL standard; and, though I don't fully like Android for battery life and mostly touch-only input, I DO like S2 myself.
Samsung Galaxy S2 is my favourite
for my, galaxy note

Samsung galaxy s about modding!
Is there really any competition with these phones or does one blow away the other hands down?

Well since we have no idea what the official specs of the SGS3 are we can't really say. All we have is rumors, but some of the thing we can be fairly certain about are the exynos quad processor, a 720p screen, an 8-10MP camera,and a screen size ranging from 4.5-4.8". The main difference will be the processor and the screen size. If you want a hybrid phone/tablet the note will be best, if you are looking for pure performance then the S3 will give you the best results. You can't say one will blow the other one out of the water without solid spec sheets and an idea of what you want in the phone.
I am excited for Thursday. I hope that we don't only hear about the SGS3, but maybe some intel on when the TMobile version of the Note will be released.
I am going for the Note. Buying an international version is not an option for me financially, so it rules out these quad-core processors, which are probably not needed right now anyway.
I am still using a TMobile G2, and it does everything I need it to do. It only has 1 core I am sure at like 800 mhz, though I am overclocking it right now due to the fact that it makes it easier to run. Either way, that processor can't be as nice a the Galaxy Note's dual-core 1.5 ghz processor.
Quad cores are just being used in desktop computers really, so it's no surprise that you shouldn't really NEED it for a phone. I don't know the official technicalities to backup my statement, but it seems common sense.
I will look forward to having the GNote specific applications, S pen, and screen real estate. Can't wait!
S3. Only reason to get Note over GS2 is screen/pen. Not worth it imo.

Not a fair competition at all. S3 should be compared to phones of the same calibre, like the HTC One X.
im sure someone will do a competition of these two phones. Even whitout the S3 full specs we all know who will win.
Quadcore is more than necessary for me
One phone!
HTC Evo Lte dual core s4 which is really fast.. It beats tegra 3 in some tests.

i think the SG S3 will be the same as the Note ( pen included ) but with a 4.6 screen
Each have their pluses and minuses. The GS3 will have the latest and greatest hardware and ICS out if the box, but the Note will have the bigger screen and S-Pen.
But seriously you're considering a phone already 6 months old vs a phone that will just be announced tomorrow. I love my Note and it has worked flawlessly for me, but I know after tomorrow it won't be the best hardware wise compared to the GS3. But that doesn't mean the Note is a slouch at all. The good thing though is I have my work phone with Sprint and my upgrade is June 30, so I may pick up the GS3, so best of both worlds!

The S3 will most likely have a 4.8 screen
..Can't wait for SIII
IiI can relate to the question I have a gsii and I really lobe the note. I will wait to deer what the new galaxy offers this weekend. I live near the brand new Samsung shop in Westfield next to the Olympic site and they reckon that the should have demo models this Saturday following the event tonight.
I only wish there were a gnote2 being announced. I love the idea of stylus
and big screen.
I have high expectations for GS3. Let's see what they have to offer for us today.
Anyway, I like my GS2 better than Galaxy Note already, so it seams clear to me that GS3 will also be better.
hummm, i like Galaxy S III better.
How do you like HUA WEI Ascend P1
BTW, I'm still waiting for media pad 10 fhd of HUA WEI
There will be quite a big difference according to the specs!
Well we will see at 7pm today
The SGS3 will be more popular than the Note, because the SGS3 is the direct concurrention of the HTC One X, iPhone etcetera.
If a phone gets really popular, you get extra things from the producer, like firmware upgrades etcetera.
Pick SGS3 after 7pm.
PS it is being expected the SGS3 will arive at the stores in approx 7 days
hahaha note vs a quadcore baby doesnt stand a chance find out today at 7:00pm GMT London time
according to leaked specs the s3 will have a 12mp camera a 4412 quadcore processor clocked at 1.5ghz
a mali 400(same as in the s2 just clocked much higher)
a 4.8 inch 720p HD regular RGB matrix not pentile
wireless charging (big maybe wuold be cool but unlikely)
2mp front cam
touchwiz bullcrap on android 4.0.4
a ceramic back
we all will know in few hours time ~~~ *wait patiently*

WAIT PATIENTLY !!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO IS GONNA DO THAT I WANT MY SIII NOW
I am going to get a galaxy nexus or a s2 soon. They both sell here around 400$ for the unlocked versions. I would be gaming on them and watching videos on them. Although gaming is not a definite must i would like to play games like dead space, gta 3 and so on. Which would be the better phone for the price.
All help is appreciated.
I think you should choose the SII, vote SII
Galaxy Nexus... Better Res Screen, Better GPU and CPU. Yeah camera is lower but also it is supported to next android version... good ROMS and I used to have one...
I own a galaxy nexus and I am very happy with it. The screen is simply gorgeous for watching movies and videos. It's also pretty good for playing games, but I can't vouch for heavy 3D games. I've tried the S2 many times and to be honest, other than having a better graphics processor, i can't say I like anything in it. The nexus is much cooler.

If you like the stock Android UI, stick to Galaxy Nexus.
Samsung's Galaxy S2 is more "Touchwiz" UI which ads lil bits and pieces here-n-there all over the place.
So do you guys think the galaxy nexus, is worth the 400$, i am moving on from my old htc hero. 400$ is kinda my budget. Also found out that the s2 being sold here are the g version which doesnt use the exynos, unless i search for some used ones.
Hey I'd go for galaxy nexus, better screen, cpu and yeah a lot of people like the S II but I've experienced lag with it, but my mate that have galaxy nexus has had no problems and it's still fast and smooth
I have already chosen the Galaxy Nexus and I can tell you that you wont regret it. It is the best phone I've ever had

Actually, the Galaxy S II has the better GPU (Mali-400MP vs PowerVR SGX540) & CPU (1.2 GHz Exynos vs 1.2 GHz TI OMAP 4460) compared to the Galaxy Nexus.
The Galaxy Nexus also has no SD card slot. So you're stuck with 16 GB of internal storage. With a Galaxy S II, you have 16 GB of internal storage and an expandable Micro SD slot.
I will hand it to you that the screen on the Galaxy Nexus is arguably better. I've seen it in person, and honestly, the pentile display is non issue imo.
ICS is available on the Galaxy S II. And, there's always developers out there making sure the latest updates are available.
That all said. If you want the over all better device: Get a Galaxy S II. But, if you like the (HD) bigger screen, and want to be able to say, "I have Google's flagship phone"... get the Galaxy Nexus.
Just my opinion. ^_^
I have the same problem.... but i think i'locali buy a nexus te only real big problem for me is the storage....

Hey guys,
At the moment I'm using a Motorola Milestone 2 (mainly for its hardware keyboard) but the phone is sluggish and freezes quite often.
I tried nearly all available ROMs but none could give me the experience I wanted.
So I am currently searching a new phone (in Germany) under the following conditions:
max. screen size 4.3"
300€ budget (± a few bucks)
My biggest problem ist the screen size. I don't want a flagship with 4.7 inch and above. Thats just too much imho.
I use my phone mainly for calling, mailing, surfing and as an organizer.
I want a smooth user experience, even with lots of mails/messages.
Gaming would be nice but I don't nee GTA 3 running on my system.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 mini fits quite good but gets torn to pieces by the community.
Is it really such a bad decision for 260 - 280€?
I can't find a real alternative at the moment.
Thanks in advance for any help!
There is also the Razr I with a 4.3" screen but a small bezel so overall its still a small device. It just got the Jelly Bean 4.1 upgrade. It has better specs than the S3 Mini but I'm not sure what price they would be in Germany.
look into sony's xperia line ...
go for s2...gr8 dev support
@spunker88:
Has Mototola a better device support for the RAZR I (Prize in Germany is around 350€)?
Because normally I would'nt go back to Motorola because of their crappy updates/support.
@OMGWTFBBQRETARD:
I've seen the Xperia phones but I don't really know if the design is my thing.
But I will give it a look
@nmgavinash:
The Problem with the SGS2 is, that it still costs more than 300€ and there is no good availability here.
If I consider to pay more than 300€ I will go for the SGS2!
galaxy s plus....1.5 ghz....500mb of ram...android 4.2.1...=)
@biagio7xD:
But isn't the S3 mini with its dual core CPU faster as the Galaxy S plus?
Samsung Galaxy S II plus
Maybe the sumsung i9300 is ok. I love it very much.
Galaxy S2.
S2 Plus is unnecessary, because there are not important difference btw S2 and S2 Plus.

@Emery1617:
The i9300 is an awesome phone, but like I said it's too big imo.
Second point is, thats it's too expensive (300€ budget).
@karamatik:
Like is said to biagio7xD, isn't the S3 mini faster than the SGS plus?
It's even 20€ cheaper than the SGS plus.
@dj_tallboy:
I think my best option is to pay around 330€ and go for the SGS2.
Thanks so far for all the input!
I just saw the HTC Desire X.
What about this one? Some negative points?
Got a 1Ghz Dual-Core, 768MB RAM and a 4" display.
Looks nice to me and it's just 220€
HTC Desire X ist the best phone for that price.
230 Euro !
Absolutely Samsung Galaxy S2, great device, good support, you should take it
