Samsung Galaxy Nexus or other phone such as S III ??

Hi all, as the title
I dunno is it the best time to go for Samsung Galaxy Nexus
but I really love it
because my current phone is LG optimus one which is my 1st android phone
furthermore, once I buy either 1 of them I don't want to change phone for 2year, so if get Nexus now, then get next 2 generation Nexus phone(same to other)
so which should I go ??
and also since MWC gonna reach, and sure got new phone announce
but after wait them announce, still need wait them release, and bring by either Samsung, LG, Motorola and other for my country for the original set
*i prefer original set than ap set(not sure other country got ap set or not)
so anyone please help me decide ><
thanks
Regards

Imo it's not worth the wait because the SGSIII will be like the nexus but with better internal specs which really isn't noticeable, unless you like to play games a lot on your phone or something.

SGS2 over the nexus if you can live with touchwiz or CM9. Benefit of a nexus line is that you get updates first and a true aosp rom.
SGS3 may be out Q2 or even Q3 if it gets delayed. Who knows what improvements it will bring.

If you're always trying to stay atop of the game, you'll be disappointed.
Go with the Nexus instead of waiting for the SGSIII.
At least you know you'll always have a dev community and at least Google support for years.

I would go for galaxy nexus instead of waiting. I hate waiting for new phones. I think, if you have a good phone, it will remain good although a new one was released in next months

If you don't mind Touchwiz and love specs, probably the S3. But if you want the fastest updates and can't wait get the Galaxy Nexus. It's impossible to stay on top of everything in the mobile space unless you got a bunch of cash to burn. If you keep waiting there will be more developments but at what cost?

but at my country got G and non G version, which is I9100 and I9100G
if want I9100, must buy ap set, otherwise original set = I9100G
as I said on 1st post, I prefer original set
although is same, but personal opinion
furthermore, S II too common already
dunno what to choose between S II and Galaxy Nexus now ><

*S II I feel too common in my country, furthermore got I9100 and I9100G, both different version
if I get S II I sure get I9100 to play the custom rom, kernel and tweak, but the disadvantage is just got ap set =_=
original set all is I9100G which less dev support at all
headache already

I can wait, but dunno is it the best time to buy phone or not
furthermore, if I wait at least need to wait half year
and now I consider either buy S II or Galaxy Nexus ><

anyone can help ??

I'd wait for the SGSIII because of better specs but I think that the TouchWiz interface that Samsung will surely slap on there will spoil it for me. You can always flash another ROM though.

Yes the Nexus has it. You should go for the Nexus. Both phones are basically equal specs wise, but the Nexus is always going to be special. Also, if you want an SGSIII when it comes out the Nexus will hold its resale value better than the SGSII.

Galaxy S or SII its the best, because is android and is really solid material is SAMSUNG and is great.

There is a great camera comparison between the 2 phones. If camera is your MOST important feature, I would go with the SGSII. If you like AOSP and the Nexus line, go with the Nexus. With the review though, the cameras aren't that far apart, and the Nexus takes better pictures with the flash. I personally have just bought a Nexus.

Confused..advice needed for Galaxy R

Hi friends,
I was thinking of buying Galaxy R. But wanted your review..How is this phone? and why very less development in this forum? I heard it will get Official ICS update in mid 2012..but over all would you guys recommend me this phone?
how is the battery life?
Would you guys recommend me this phone over SE neo V or xperia pro?
is it worth going for this phone for its dual core and nvidia GPU?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank You

There are already few similar threads on previous pages of this section.

Thanks but its been many days since anyone asked such question
and also now there r more users hence more view on this phone

Get it as soon as possible..The phone is running out of stock everywhere.

Ugly? Seriously? It sexy to me. Its a good phone, but if you want more Dev support buy the 2X or wait for the Galaxy Nexus.

Better than the Sony phones. Battery life depends on hour usage. Generally lasts a day. Worth buying. Less Dev support because it launched quite late and after the S2. So not many people bought it.

I meant its UI is like their non-android phones(cheap phones)..they look alomost same...hence it doesnt feel gud
development is importart for me..i am coming from moto defy...lots of development happens over dere( 2nd rank in CyanogenMod ranking )
Galaxy R has got very good hardware..dunno y dev is so less...

HW is pretty decent! I have never had any single issue with this handset. Aftermarket development is unfortunately an Achilles heel for now, but it can change for better. FW is very good, stable, you can hardly notice any bugs. But yeah I admit touchwizz is really ugly. I came from HTC and I really preferred Sense UI. But sammy's stock roms have this advantage that they are quite easily customizable, and you don't have to be a dev to do that.

Yes they have already stopped manufacturing i guess. Yesterday sulekha tech shared the specs on their facebook page for galaxy s advance and on asking if this is a replacement for Galaxy R, they said that Galaxy R has been stopped by samsung.No more would be availaible. I think the people who got it on time are lucky.

Its a gud thing and a bad thing..
Good thing coz they got very nice hardware for gud price
Bad thing coz as there are less galaxy R hence less development
One more good thing is that it will get official ICS update

I agree with you. It was a very nice price for such hardware and regarding the rumours about the manufacturing defects. i think as long as they have manufacturers warranty there is nothing to get worried about.
another strange thing which i noticed is that people started buying more and more R from the time it started getting out of stock. Hope development doesn't stop.
ICS is really the best thing about it and truly speaking i am not much impressed by the Galaxy S advance whcih i think would be around 25-26k indian rupees. so S2 or even the Note would be better option for buyers.

which phone should i purchase after galaxy sl

hi everyone i need ur valueable suggestions. which phone should i purchase after selling my galaxy sl i've short listed 4 phones

I still suggest u upgrade to Galaxy Note
u are an animator and Note is a great choice for you as the available of the s-pen is really good for drawing , better than using your finger
second here xda have a particular page for Note
and the customer service of samsung is good also
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium

Check out all the development for all the devices you've selected in xda. S2 should have the most, I personally like sensation XE as I like awesome bass and stuff, but since you like sketching and stuff I guess galaxy note would be the most suitable.

Go for the Galaxy Note! It has quite a pretty big user base in XDA. It probably isn't as big as the S2's but it's sizable enough, so nothing to worry about there.

I would advice you to wait until Galaxy S 3 cames out (May 3th). If you can't afford one then the prices of both (Galaxy S 2 and maybe Note too) will drop (they would became cheapier). Now it's time to wait for a few days.
If you are in hurry and you MUST buy one, then i surely recomend you Galaxy Note (if you find that the screen size doesn't bother you)

okay thnx for the suggestion will be buying on 5 th may and surely w8 for the prices to drop

The next galasy s3

The S3 is coming out on the 3rd of May.. Take a look at that and decide.. I would do that if I were in ur place.. It might take some time to get to ur place (depends), but it should be definitely worth the wait..

It's better to wait for the Samsung Galaxy S3
It will come out on this May..

In OP's last post, it's clear he doesn't intend to buy the S3, in fact, he's waiting to buy after the release of the S3 so the prices of the current models will drop.

Sony xperia s or sgs3 or htc one x

Dude no matter which phone u buy make sure it's launched globally (maybe a flagship) and has a large user base.. These things are directly proportional to the Dev u'll get.. Development is what keeps the excitement alive, no matter if it's a s1, s2 or s3..
s1 after so f**kin long is still up in the Dev race.. All the i9003 users had pushed their budgets a little higher, we would be in a different world.. Hope u understand what I'm trying to say.. Cheers..

I agree with what you said, the galaxy S3 seems like the most logical choice. It is running android 4.1 and is the definitely one of the nicest looking and most functional phones out there.

Sony experia s.

LG Optimus 4X HD

Kinda like asking what the best color is, no? It's a very user specific question, every phone has a little something different. But I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 right now and absolutely loving it. So if the S3 is one of only a few choices, I'd go with it. Good luck!

Secondary phone to buy

Hello all,
I want to buy a new phone, because I always do some experiments to my G3 and don't have sometimes enough time to recover it from bootloop or something... I also don't want to leave G3 comunity because you're the best friends now
So I ask, which phone would you recommend to me? As daily driver... I would keep my g3 for developing and tweaking . My requirements are the same as for this phone + root-friendly (if you know what I mean ) + CM available for it... Also it shouldn't be as expensive as sgs3 or galaxy nexus, etc... It also should have bigger screen...
So, what do you guys think? I thought about byuing sgs i9000 as it has almost fully working JB...

hi buddy this is just my suggestion as quadcore phones are already there and getting better every day and single core phone are about to vanish so i feel it would be better if you think about dual core phone as it will not only provide your better performance that single core processor but also will be future proof and supported with future editions of android phones.

Well, not fully agree
First - Nexus doesn't have slot for microsd card.
Secondly, the GPU is worse than the SII.
Thirdly - SII is more efficient.
Fourth - SII has better camera (8Mpix), Nexus - 5Mpix.
Nexus has higher screen resolution - 1280 × 720, but made in pentile technology.
Also, I'm wondering about these two phones, but more convinces me - Samsung Galaxy SII.

What do you think about Snapdragon S4 CPU and Adreno 225 CHIPSET? Just wondering how this will perform in Asus Padfone... I like the fact that this phone will get JB officially, but no forums here at xda...

This is a very good summary
Here you have nicely described:

I have used the Galaxy s2 and galaxy nexus and i just prefer the feel of the nexus. It is very well built and the speed is very good. Also, its a nexus and nexus phones always get amazing development forums :good:

if someone want to do more reasearch with i-5801 phone and can't digest other models,
Its now Available thru vodafone @ Rs.4900/- which is 92 USD approx.

Not yet, instead of it I have HP Probook 4540s as for the price of Galaxy S3 here in Czech Republic. It's for school now. I'm happy with it I'm now writing on this notebook. Perfect keyboard!
However, galaxy nexus will probably follow. I don't want the Nexus 4 for the "bad screen responsiveness" bug.
PS: I won't EVER sell my Galaxy 3! Love this phone

Not yet, instead of it I have HP Probook 4540s as for the price of Galaxy S3 here in Czech Republic. It's for school now. I'm happy with it I'm now writing on this notebook. Perfect keyboard!
However, galaxy nexus will probably follow. I don't want the Nexus 4 for the "bad screen responsiveness" bug.

The pro book looks great and I also feel the same way about my g3 lol. I was thinking of getting a new phone but i decided to wait until marcelluse says if he's going to continue with cm10 development or any development on the g3. My parents gave me a tab 2 for Christmas so I'm not in a rush for a newer phone. I wished I could have donated to the devs for their work on the g3 for Christmas but I don't have a job I'm a student. I will try in the future
Happy new years by the way.

I have a Nexus 4 and the dev over there is amazing. Yes if the micro-sd card slot and removal battery is a bumper, then this phone isn't for you. I would suggest the S2 or the Note 1. The Asus Padfone is a good choice but it makes sense when you have the tablet as well as the phone.
PS My Nexus 4 dosen't have any bugs.
