[Q] Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy S II, or... - General Questions and Answers

Hello to All !!!
First post ever over here ! Thanks for this is a fantastic community, and many, including me, have learned from all the great info here !!! (Own an Asus Transformer !).
Currently with iPhone 4 jailbrokened AT&T (easy on the tomatoes...), but thinking about getting an Android phone. I have read multiple threads, and articles...seems to me that the SGSII is the current "killer" phone out there. But maybe the Galaxy Nexus is almost there.
Also, I have found a nice, altougth rather short, thread about a classification of phones according to their antenna and reception, and it seems that the Moto Milestone XT720 is the best out there.
So, in short: Which phone would you guys recommend, either from one of these in my post, or something else, and why?
Cheers,
CG.

If you must go android, get the razr.

SGS2
Don't go with Razr. Go with Samsung Galaxy S II.

Galaxy S 2 for speed (guts)
Galaxy S II LTE for speed (Network)
Galaxy Nexus for screen and speed (updates)
What is more important to you the guys, the network speed or updates and a beautiful screen

none of the above
wait until June to get the latest and greatest
along the lines of HTC quad core Edge

Galasy Note, for style and everything else

[Q] Which Rogers Galaxy S will get the most dev attention??

Sorry if this is not the right place.
My N1 just died on me and am doing an upgrade through Rogers. My choices are the Galaxy S Infuse 4G and the Galaxy S II 4G.
Obviously the S2 has more power but the Infuse is pretty good (I have it now and I like it (but I can still return it for the S2)).
Since I am on the fence, I figured the deciding factor might just be which one the devs are heading to ... I was spoiled with the support the N1 got. My guess would be the S2 but I'd like to hear other opinions.
Up until now I've always gone HTC and have not been watching the Samsung discussions.

[Q] Which phone is recommended for AT&T?

Dear fellow XDA members,
I was wondering if someone could chime in to help make my decision much easier for me. I currently just signed up with AT&T and within my 30 buyers remorse period so I am trying to get the right phone for me. I like the bigger screen that most Android phone offers but I like the screen resolution that the iPhone offers, but not a fan of the apps being displayed on the home screen. Could anyone help me out with deciding which phone to choose. Please give me an explanation to why you chose that particular phone please.
Here are my options:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket
Apple iPhone 4S
LG Nitro HD
HTC Vivid
Much appreciation for those who chimes in to provide information to me.
Thank you,
John
Wrong section. .......... questions go in q&a

personally i would say the skyrocket because of the cheap price and dual core 1.5 ghz processor. But its all about personal preference but i suggest the GSIISR

galaxy s2 and stick with android or iphone?

My evo finally met its maker when it took a dive in the sink...extremely depressing, however Now im trying to see where to do from here. I bought the white Galaxy s2 and i like the specs and as long as i can get it to look similar to the evo rom with launcher pro etc...im sticking with it no questions, the only real complaint is the gui stock looks a little too crayola for me(dont really know how to explain it) and im not sure if a rooted iphone really has the same development following as Android. ANY help would be appreciated. should i make the move to iphone?
I have an unlocked iphone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S 4g. I use my Iphone for my organization of my things to do. I use android more for having more fun. It you like the smaller screen and the way iphone operates than go for the iphone but if you like to have fun and be able to customize your home screen, root your phone and get custom Rom android is for.u. I like android better cause its funner lol. You should play with the iphone and sgs2, see what's more fitting for u. Best of.luck

yea, figured that out. but thank you,i guess im referring to overall functionality...assuming im not keeping both
I heard SGS2 BATISTA ROM enables real built in 2 way call recording, which we don't have. Also it will have official ICS update and has better camera comparing to Nexus S.
Iphone's for busy people, if you have curiousity and spare time, go for the SGS 2!

well, if you've bought a lot of apps for your evo, it might make more sense to stick with the galaxy S2, since you can bring them all over to your new phone. The S2 has a lot of rom development also, so you shouldn't have a problem fining a rom that you like.
If you like the screen size on the S2, you might not want the iphone. It's 3.5" screen already feels small compared to the galaxy S, so it will probably feel tiny compared to the S2. though iOS is pretty slick. If you have the means, try both and see which you like better.
Since this is an android forum, you'll probably get more people telling you go stick with the S2
don't buy anything yet..
wait for the galaxy s 3

[Q] Hi people! a little question

Hi community of xda , I have a little question about two incredibles cell phones.
They are Samsung Galaxy SII and Samsung Galaxy Nexus , I am able to buy one of this , but I am not sure which is better , for this I am here and ask my question.
I want to see opinions of the people and with this I will buy one of the two.
Sorry for my poor english.
Thank you
From these nexus is better..because performance and display is better than s2.and the benefit of nexus is you will get the update of OS on time...sure...
Xperian8~ click thanks if it helps...
This should help you, check here.
Both have a huge community and lots of custom stuff to play with.
The display is nice and performance is not that different either.
Both phones have ICS available.
The biggest drawback of the nexus is no extra SD slot.
If that is not an issue, pick the one you think looks the best.
Edit: Price is currently the same for both on amazon too.
You can't really go wrong with either one.
WARNING:
I'm assuming you have the choice between the i9100 and i9250.
But if the choice is between the i9100G (Current batch of SGS2 being produced) and i9250, take the i9250 (gnexus).

You should compare them on gamarena. I've had a little go on the SII and it's alright but I don't really like the look and feel of it. I've never tried the Galaxy Nexus before but it looks like it is a very good phone. The Galaxy Nexus has a slightly bigger screen (I like big screens) so I'd personally choose the Nexus. Also the I think the SII is slightly overrated and the Nexus is kind of hiding around the corner because a lot of people think that the SII is the best and blah blah without thinking about other phones (This is my personal opinion so please don't hate).

[Q] what is the best new android phone for custom ROM's

I'm looking for a high performance, easy to root phone with preferable a large screen, available in the UK or easily imported with unlocked sim (i.e. not stuck with orange or vodafone ect)
a phone that has been released rather recently or has been announced with promising specs??
I would say the Samsung Galaxy S3 is your best bet.
Same question, but I'm in the US, and don't intend on using the 3G/4G Radio(s). Would I still need an unlocked phone, or would the cheaper, Carrier-locked version be fine if I'm going to mod/Rom away the use of those Radios?

Thanks ✟

I'm really hoping the Galaxy S3 is going to do really great. Probably going to be the next first gen EVO.
I was initially going to buy the galaxy note but many reviews said that compared to the s3 its exceptionally slower (not to say it's a slow phone but in comparison due to the larger screen), I would love the galaxy note with more power ect but not sure if they will release such a thing in the future,
Hi,
Best of the samsung SGS2 and the best of all I think :good:
I would recommend Samsung Galaxy S2 or Samsung Galaxy S Advance
samsung galaxy S3 is not the best choice. try galaxy W, there is room for improvement and customization
