If you had the choice between the SGS 1 and the Incredible S, what would you pick and why?
The incredible has a better cpu the galaxy s has a better gpu. In day to day use they will be around the same performance, it just comes down to wether you like sense or touchwiz and which hardware you like more. I'd go for the incredible because the cpu is a lot more overclockable and the build quality is better in my opinion.
Not a simole answer
Depends. I hate sense a lot more than touchwiz so the sgs is better for me in that regard. People say HTC has better build quality but I prefer the plastic cases Samsung use as they are lighter and actually protect the phone more if dropped. I also think the sgs has a nicer screen. HTC however it seems the sgs won't officially get ICS, not sure about the incredible s.
I would get the sgs of the two but in reality I wouldn't get either now. I would buy either the galaxy nexus or sgs2 if I wanted something cheaper.
sgs by far
I'd have 2 go with the galaxy s,even though the incredible s might have a better CPU,the 1 in the galaxy s is still fast enough and because the CPU is better,be graphics and quality r very high and allow u 2 play games like modern combat 3 and real racing 2 which require very high GPUs,Ive been using a galaxy s 4 about 3 or 4 months and this phone has impreesed me a lot
Incredible s is better device but bootloader is locked and better roms , kernels, support for galaxy s .

when sgs has a lot of better things than incredible s I don't understand why sgs so very lag and sluggish both a browser and all of transitions when I use my girlfriends aha eventhogh I installed Cm7, darky ROM and so on. It is slower than my stock ROM on inspire 4g.
PS even I try voodoo to convert partition file type but nothing to improve speed the best case I found it fast for one week after that it return to sluggish as I used to.

If you don't mind the software(Sense vs touchwiz), I'd say go with the Incredible S, Because:
CPU Wise : the MSM8250 is better more overclockable and more efficient than the Hummingbird
GPU: in terms of 3D the SGX540 might tops the Adreno 205 but the Adreno has better 2D performance, and better efficiency but with either you can't go wrong
Built quality, being an HTC the Incredible S is a better quality product than the SGSI, better material used and industrial feel (but if you are someone that cares about weight and don't mind the plastic the SGS might better for you)
Screen, being a recent generation SLCD with full RGB I'd say the screen on the Incredible is better, but again if you are someone that don't mind the visible Pentil and like vibrant colors over realistic ones the SGS screen would be better for you
Ram the IS has 768mb vs the 512mb on the SGSI
And deal breaker for me, is that the IS is a newer device than the SGSI there is almost a year difference between both device, despite the IS being a middle end device it meens it will get more support than the SGSI it is sad because some people just brought new variants of the SGSI that just came out some month ago and samsung already said they are coming with one last update for the SGSI (because people got mad ) and it will be a gingerbread skined with some ICS elements on top, where as the IS might get the ICS, in fact, IS got a recent update to 2.3.5 + sense 3.0 which is the latest software used on HTC devices (appart the decices that came with sense 3.5)
Edit: I forgot to mention that the SGSI had some issues in it debut, if you are someone that relies on A-GPS on your phone you'd better not get any closer to the SGSI
Incredible s!!!!!!

Definitely would have to agree with the Incredible S, just knowing it's a little more matured than a SGSI.
Just get a Galaxy S2 and be done with it! ATT's got refurbs now for $9.99, you really cant beat that..
Galaxy s is better because it has better support for developers

Spec wise the Galaxy S2 lose.
The new snapdragon looks like more powerfull than tegra 2 / exynos, they give you a screen with more resolution and not using pentile, real rgb not 50% more of amoled plus that is less than real stripe.
a little less ram, but who uses 1gb of ram in a phone?
The only things for what I am going to buy the Galaxy S2, is because in 10 years, HTC has not make a decent camera on a phone and a decent audio quality in par with the iphone or the first galaxy, and this are for me totally killer features. Oh, and the internal phone storage.
In the battle HTC sense vs touchwiz, who cares, at the end most of the people turn off that programs and ends using adw or launcher pro.
It's a tough one. Up until HTC Sensation was announced, I was settled on SGS II. But now I'm in a dilemma.
However, SGS II has a better screen - lower resolution, but using SAMOLED+ instead of SLCD (and the difference is notable). SGS II also has a better front camera, more internal memory (a LOT more, 16 GB vs 1 GB), larger battery capacity, and it's thinner.
HTC on the other hand has a better camera, higher screen resolution, dual-led flash, and it's also on T-Mobile. It also comes with a 8 GB microSD card.

You nailed it for me. While I'm not really familiar with processors, the EVO 4G has a terrible camera and sound quality. Now I'm considering waiting for a sprint galaxy s2 instead of upgrading to the EVO 3D. I know that both phones will be good, but having the better quality photos and video will make me happy.

Apart from the higher resolution offered on Sensation, i can't see how SGSII loses in terms of spec. Initial benchmarks show Exynos perform much better than the new Snapdragon (which is based on the older A8 cortex) but i guess we juz have to wait till May when comparison can be done on retail units instead of those prototypes.
Can't agree more about the camera on HTC phones though. and thats why i'm getting rid of my Desire soon=)
I would have liked to get the Sensation, but I am in an AT&T contract.
Even if I decided to kill the contract and move to T-Mobile, I would be kinda screwed when AT&T acquires TMobile and then the Sensation will not be able to use 3G on AT&T since it does not support the bands.
So between the two I am pretty much forced to get the GS2, or wait and hope the a Sensation build will eventually support AT&T bands, which I will not do...
GS2 looks good enough, but TouchWiz looks awful
edit: ok maybe TW isn't so bad

I'm not so sure about that part. HTC has never been known to release phones with great cameras. Average at best, but not great. E.g desire hd, Mozart, HD2, desire, HD7. They're all average in their leagues.
Samsung on the other hand does release phones with great camera quality. E.g. Wave, Omnia HD, Pixon 12.
However since they haven't released the phone or shown any sample pictures, guess it's too early to judge.

Thought it was a joke when he said HTC has a better camera..
You are probably right about being early to judge Sensation but we're almost certain SGSII is coming with an awesome camera which is confirmed in most previews.
HTC the better camera? Perhaps a #sarcasm tag was needed before that.
In terms of whether the CPU/GPU is better, remains to be seen, there are benchmarks which show each one outperforming the other. Furthermore remains to be seen whether there is any difference in use, even if one is better than the other by a reasonable margin.
For me, I don't like the crappy cameras of HTC and their habbit of crippling great phones with underppwered batteries...I love my HD2 but I cannot forgive HTC for putting a 1230 mAh battery which barely manages to last through a working day!

More RAM
Existing CyanogenMod support - ensuring ICS upgrade
Autofocus
Veteran, proven model
Slightly cheaper

Personally, I would by a Desire S because I love the build quality and style. It fits in my hands beautifully and is what I was going to buy myself but instead got the Nexus because it was cheaper.
I have never personally played with the Galaxy W but it does have some pretty good specs. Have you played around with the phones in a shop? I think that is very important part of deciding which device is for you.

Seeing as both phones have virtually the same measurements, both would probably fit the same in one's hand. The Galaxy is lighter, though, but I don't know about the build quality.
Unfortunately I can't play with the phone since it hasn't arrived in my country yet

Could you possibly elaborate on why you think it's better ?
Sure can. I like HTC for their UI (Sense) but feel that 3.0+ is crap and somewhat overdone. 2.1 hit the mark for me.
Whilst they both boast very similar specs, the Galaxy W takes things a little further forward.
Samsung are well known for their speedy and reliable hardware whereas HTC are notorious for badly coding their CPUs, ultimately resulting in slower performance.
Build quality is great on both devices and dimensions and weight are very similar.
It's a variety of little things that make me favour the Galaxy W above the Desire S.
Things like the faster processor, better and simpler UI etc.
I'm also a Samsung fan boy at heart =D
I hope that helped =)

It all depends on the market, if many people will opt to buy it they will certainly be many developers who will want to develop for it.
Only time will tell, lets just hope the bootloader doesn't come locked or that someone will find a fast way to unlock it.

I wonder what's keeping GSMArena...
Has anyone seen the white one in person? How is it?
i prefer desire s, in my opinion is better.
The Desire S has much better dev support and better build quality. There is already a stable ICS ROM for it and a plethora of different ROM's . I develop for it and have to say there are loads of great ROM's for it
In UK 3 will sell a Galaxy w for £180 a HTC Desire S costs £280. and I still pre fare the Galaxy W.
i m going to buy the dual core phone but guys i dont have any idea that which dual core phone is best
i want gaming modding roms camera form phone so please guid me which one is best except latest release of smasung galaxy nexus and motorola razr
Why would you want the next best? Get the Galaxy Nexus.
If you're just about saving a few quid, and assuming you specifically want an Android handset pick up the galaxy s2... spec and performance is not far short overall, in some ways it's better.
HTC range? Seems to havegood support here.
Samsung Galaxy SII
In terms of specs/potential it is Note..in terms of specs/xda support it is GNexus.
REZOUND!
HTC Rezound is my pick.
Dual Core Qualcom MSM8660 with 1.5 GHz, 1GB of RAM and the best thing about the phone - 720P 4.3 Inch Display!!! better pixel density than even the retina.
i think Mi-One is the best choice atm but he's pretty hard to find...

My friend got one recently and I checked it out. SGS II is really good. It is definitely well equipped to handle ICS if you are interested in flashing CM 9, when the good folks come out with it.
I haven't 100% decided which phone I'm going to get yet either (between Nexus Prime, Razr, and Resound), though I'm leaning towards the Nexus Prime just because I know it will be the most open. I'm more than likely going to want Cyanogen on whatever I get. The Razr, though water and bullet proof, will probably be the most locked down out of the three :/

I would go for the Galaxy Nexus for sure. It may not have the most ram or the highest MP camera, but it is a high quality build and scores very well in benchmarks.
We'll have to see when the S2 gets a good working ROM though as ICS is fully optimized for dual cores with hardware acceleration.

-Exynos 1.2 gHz processor: much better than qualcomm no matter what (surpassed maybe by the S4 or the Tegra 3 but not yet released)
-Better 8 mp camera: The sensors used by this camera are excellent (maybe only surpassed by the iPhone 4S sensors).
-Mali 400 GPU: One of the best gpu existing today in the market only found in a couple of phones (again maybe only surpassed by the nonreleased chip of the MWC)
-Super Lightweight: One of the lightest phone that some may say it feels cheap but dont
-Super Thin: One of the thinnest phone today only surpassed by the RAZR and other unknown phones.
-Super Amoled Plus screen: Wonderful screen with surprising colors that amaze everyone and with its plus technology it makes a more resolution effect although its only 800x480
this would be some of the reasons of why to choose it

I have to agree here. While I do agree the SII is better (yeah I'm a GNex owner and my butt is a bit hurt from it) I don't see the margin of difference terribly large. The GNex is still an outstanding phone.
how much is "soon"?
If I was in your shoes, I would prob wait for Samsung galaxy S3.
I agree the international version of S2 is the best, the galaxy nexus does have a excellent screen, one of the best noise cancellation to be found on a phone. Top 3 android phones until Tegra 3 hits is Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus, Droid Razr Maxx.
Wait for GalaxyS3
I have a galaxy s and its amazing. I cant wait for the galaxy 3
Sony Xperia S, it's got a 12mp camera. The best in Android
This is 3vo CDMA (sprint) not GSM (tmo, att, or a carrier that gives a sim card)
EVO 3D. Even though 3D code is only for sense 3.0, the 3vo has quite possibly the best selection of rooms I have ever seen. So far we have:
1. AOSP
2. CM7
3. Sense 3.0
4. Sense 3.5
5. Sense 3.6 (work in progress, or wip)
6. Sense 4.0 (wip)
7. Evo view 4g sense (tablet rom on 3vo)
8. ICS 4.0.3 (only issue is camera)
9. CM9 (same as ics)
And maybe more.!
Not to mention our various tweaks, amazing quadrant scores, dual core processor, 1.5 gHz STABLE over clock with good battery life still (we can go up to 1.8 but its unstable and can pretty much destroy your phone), dedicated developers, qHD screen, and soooooo much more. You should check us out
Plus, with the recent hboot downgrade ability, our phone is now "unofficially unbrickable" which means I can do ANYTHING to it and I can restore it. This phone, even with a select number of issues, is by far the strongest competitor in specs, deving, performance, etc.

Just a couple points. The galaxy nexus doesn't use a Qualcomm processor. It uses a TI OMAP. If the Exynos is better, it isn't by much.
The GPU is a PowerVR which is probably weaker than the Mali but still decent. It runs Grand Theft Auto III really well, which is the most demanding thing I'd ever do on a phone GPU wise.
The screen on the Nexus is also AMOLED but full 720p (1280×720) instead of the 800X480 on the S2. It is pentile but the resoultion is so much higher it more than makes up for it. This is clearly a winner for the Nexus IMO.
Also the real pros in buying a Nexus:
Faster official updates and completely stock ICS (no touchwiz, sense, motoblur, etc)
Xperia nominated?

The one s also has sense 4 which is good if you're a fan of UIs.
The nexus is a google device which means it should get updates quicker than most phones unless you root and flash a custom rom
The htc one s also has a better feel because it's not as plastic-y AND COMES WITH WARRENTY FROM TMOBILE (which is very easy to claim)
EDIT: nexus has a better screen but one s has beats audio
nexus has nfc while the one s doesnt
if you like to mess with phones, i recommend the one s because of the easy warranty exchange with tmobile

ONE S !!!

Ons S is the best! but poor batteries
according to reviews in my country, one s has very good camera (high quality foto). Very hard choise You wanna have support from google, take nexus.
i would prefer one s
The CPU in the one S is much much faster then the one in the galaxy nexus. The 2 Krait cores perform as fast as or faster then the 4 tegra cores of the tegra 3. The Adreno 225 is also a powerful GPU.
Galaxy NEXUS FTW!!!!
Get the nexus
Here's why
1.The battery
2.NFC
3.NO UI
4.THAT GODDANG AMOLED
5.Updates and ROMS

In terms of physical looks, the ONE S looks better to me.
I guess you have to try it out, maybe read reviews too.
OS-wise, I suppose the Nexus would basically work like maybe a Galaxy S2 with CM9, the stock ICS experience.
Then on the ONE S theres Sense 4.
Theres the feel of the phone, is it comfortable to hold, the weight.
Does it feel good in your pocket.
Or you are the tweaker and have the knowledge to bend any of the phones, within its limits, to your liking.
For ONE S there should be less custom stuff to play with as its new.
And if you are an accessory fan, consider if the phone will be popular or not.
When I got my HTC Desire, no shops seem to be selling any case for the phone locally.
Luckily theres a free case from the telco but its 'barely there', in the end got one from eBay.
If you're ok with online shopping then its fine, I suppose.
It doesnt matter that HTC is the best or Galaxy Nexus is designed by Google its all about the Hardware and Software combination of the phone its advantages and disadvantages its performance and other things needs to be watched. So my choice is Galaxy Nexus.
Prefer one s. seremic body and UI will give you a perfect experience. Basically nexus is great. You will get the latest update and great camera shutter speed etc. But android growing fast. Time to feel new thing..
