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.

It's anyone's guess at this stage what the next Samsung Galaxy smartphone is going to be like, lots of rumors doing the rounds personally im happy to wait until next year with the GS2 which is still the best in the business.
[The rumored specs of the GS3 though do sound amazing]
Awesome specs but I wish they provide better software support to existing sgs n sgs 2 my sgs 2 is still on 2.3.3 waiting for updtes to arive in india n I dont wana flash as its already working awesome at least til warrenty lasts

For my part I hope Samsung do more both hardware, and software, testing before launching the SIII.
On Tuesday I'm going to send my S2 and Tab 10.1 back for repair.
The S2 have random locs/reboots and somewhat loose homebutton.
The TAB has watermarks/newton-rings.
Maybe I have been unlucky with my first Samsung devices but I have never had devices, 30-40 phones and pc's over the years, with faults like this after only 2 months use.

You're claiming to have an iphone 5?
4.3" is big enough, add a case and you're carrying a novel in your pocket, 4.7" will be like carrying a box of cereal in your pocket. That said, if it's light, and slim, it might not be so bad.

I don't care if any one think's I do/don't have an Iphone "5" or not. I like my galaxy s2 better any ways.
Edit: ontopic
I think 4core phones will be when the smart phone market nears it's highest point. The S3 may start to get Iphone like sales as well if it get's to the states faster than the S2.
more rumours originated from 4chan?

Then why bring it up?
Did you see anything cool besides an iPhone during your time in the future?
If you really have an iPhone5, then that ABSOLUTELY is what this topic is about now...You apparently have something in your possession no tech publication, reputable news agency, etc have been able to get their hands on.
Wanna get your name all over the news? 15 minutes of fame? Post some pics/video. You'll make every evening news in the country.

I did not bring it up like I want to be cool or anything. I have had alot of thing's before anyone else:
Halo: ODST
Cr-48
A game I can't name at this time( They will come to get me if name it.)
And now the Iphone ok.
P.S Ok so not a lot, but you get the point. The Cr-48 was the coolest to me and I have not had the phone for long they are just geting them in. I did not think every one would be so mad, but the ICS thread should have spelled it out for me.
Now about the Iphone part, I was just saying I am unlikey going to buy the S3, but it should be cool and I can't wait to see it.
Edit: You will all see the truth on 09/4/11.
What do you think ? Is it worth it to sell my S2 and buy a Nexus?
Nah. Wait till something better comes along, like the next nexus

The next nexus will be much better, I'm also looking forward to it..
Swyped from my GT-i9100
If it's for JB, Sammy's already stated they're working on it for the S2 and S3. Obviously that could take quite a while knowing their reputation but CM10 will come to save the day. So you're not missing out with the S2. Not to mention the nexus hardware is a teeny bit outdated at the moment, you'll notice it. Personally, Id stick with the S2. It really is the better phone. Hope I helped
the Galaxy note 2 should be out shortly and that phone is going to be a BEAST.
I also have a galaxy s2 that I'm planning on selling but was thinking about keeping as a secondary and just dropping my insurance.
The plus is that you can probably get about $250 for the Galaxy s2 with your accessories if you sell now.

I would only get a nexus if you wanted vanilla android right out the box. Personally, I think the S2 is the better phone. Better processor, camera, and it has an SD card slot.
The one thing I love about the nexus is the notification light being in the same location as the nexus one ..not a big deal but still kinda cool..

From the introducing of Nexus brand by Google it became the phone of Developer.
I bought one in 2010 and am using it today.
I know that it is too old, but I love it.
My opinion - to get Nexus.
(maybe wait the the next model)
I'm thinking the same. I'm using SGS2 T989 now and really like pure Android OS. I'll wait for the next Google phone. In the meantime, I'll just wait for CM9/10 to be stable enough for my T989
Wait
Probably a good idea to wait for the next Nexus phone, maybe from Motorola this time?
Are you upgrading for the sake of upgrading or do you have a real need? I'm personally going to skip this generation as I see no need for a new phone
Im aggree with ez2.. Galaxy note 2 best!!

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...

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.
Hi
I'm planning to move on from my SGS 2 to a newer model.. but I'm not able to make up my mind.
I'm interested in the 4G SGS 3 though I've been thinking about the next nexus phone from LG or the upcoming HTC One X+...
My current phone is working perfectly fine but I'm looking for a phone with more speed as well as with 4G/LTE..
Should I wait it out for early next year to have better choices or should I just go in for the SGS 3?
By the way, Samsung is my preferred manufacturer, followed by HTC.. I've no idea how LG phones are in terms of build quality, support, etc.
Thanks in advance. Cheers.

By the way, here in Finland, we have a deal going on for the Galaxy Nexus, with the current price of 370€ (http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/s?s=1&q=51397+or+23156) and is valid until next Monday 21.10 and this seems to be the best deal in Finland at the moment. The standard price is ~450€ I think...
Is there any sense is getting the Galaxy Nexus considering there are the newer Nexus devices coming up? In particular HTC “J Butterfly” Nexus 5 (along with the LG Nexus as mentioned previously)?
Thanks again. Cheers...
Edit: Also, regarding the processor, I'm no expert but from the reviews and reports, I see there are the Tegra 3 processors (like the one in HTC One X+) or the Qualcomm 'snapdragon' processors or Exynos processors and similar... Which is the better one? Should I chose a device that comes with a specific processor if I want to have a speedy, fast, high end phone?
And of course, I would like a manufacturer that regularly updates the OS without major delays whenever a new Android is being released...
Well I have the nexus, and that price is very very high. Ofcourse it is new from store but I have my nexus for 275 euro's. Second hand but only 6 month's old. Great phone but if I were you, I should wait for the gs4. Depends on how fast you need a phone, considering the gs4 is coming out in march 2013. If you can't wait I should definately buy the HTC one X+ or the GS3.

Thanks a lot.
I'm not in a real hurry to get a new phone as my current SGS2 is working great (and there is a possibility that JB will arrive soon for the SGS2)... But I just wanted to kind of 'upgrade' from the SGS2 to a more powerful, newer phone... Hence my questions regarding should I really wait (though I understand it's a kind of silly question considering how many new devices keep popping up every month) or just go in for a model such as the SGS3 or HTC One X+ that's been proven to be a great phone....
Basically I can wait for the new one.. I'm looking at having a new one by March/April 2013.
If you can wait just wait Mate, I know your feelings so many new phones but can't choose a good one and every time there is coming a new one out.

Work phone with an exact requirement/feature
Background:
I have just bought a Motorola Defy Plus. The reason I purchased it was - I wanted a phone that could allow me t record work calls and Defy Plus seemed promising as it enjoys good amount of support in the developers here and it was like very cheap. Now when I see the work involved in rooting and flashing custom rom I find myself not too sure about my capability of managing the whole process. Even if I do manage the rooting and flashing the custom rom, I still do not have any definitive information if call recording will be possible
New search:
Given the above now I am exploring any other phones that will allow me to take care of this requirement of recording my calls incoming and outgoing , without speaker, in the stock straight out of the box condition. Besides this particular requirement my usage of the phone is very mundane - some voice calls, minimal texting , little bit of email, no games , minimal camera, once in a while a couple of minutes of music if ever.
So if any of you can give me a suggestion i.e. which phone and which app - if you have a working combo - which will solve my problem shall appreciate it very much.
Cheers
Wait, even if the nexus devices aren't to your liking they are going to drive the price of current devices down. I have the SGS3 but sources / docs for exynos processors are sketchy so support isn't stellar. TBH if support matters go with nexus although you'll have to sacrifice sd support.

SD support meaning expandable SD card support/feature?
Well.. that's another thing I'd like to have (I forgot to mention before)... I need a phone that will enable me expand my storage with an external SD card.

That's the current HTC range ruled out then.

Yes.. missed this when checking out the HTC phones..
I think I'll wait it out or get the SGS 3 if I feel I'm in a hurry.

Me too
Forget the galaxy nexus it is getting a little bit old i decided to go ahead whit the s3 and i have no complaints..
Speed is awesome
Battery life gets me from 9am to 11pm depending on how you/i use it.
Camera is good ( there is noise in low light shots )
Build quality is the same as the s2 ..
I dont know why but i got a feeling that lg making a nexus will be a mess..

I would recommend the G3. You can wait for the next phone to come up but you'll find that there is always a new phone about to be launched so you can wait forever. I've recently transitioned to the g3 and enjoy it very much. Liked it a lot better once I rooted and put a JB rom on it.
I'd go with a sgs3

Personally I struggle to wait, but seriously we are talking days here and once the nexus is announced the prices of the current flagship devices is going to come down.

Hi, as the title says, I need an upgrade from our galaxy apollo. I have a budget of up to £180 so the nexus 4 is just out of reach. Any ideas? All input will be highly apreciated
Thanks

I would recommend you a phone made by sony (there are many different xperias for your budget). I think their quality are quite good for price you pay and they also have quite good developer support.
Im thinking about the xperia s or galaxy s2. Any other phone I should consider

I'd go for the most developer-friendly phone you can afford. Worth it. Take a look at the Galaxy S - I knew it is one of the oldest CM-supported phones, but I still choose it. All hardware working. Some say, it's a slow, aging 3-year old device. I say it's buttery smooth, million times faster than Galaxy 3 device, and that's it. Maybe there after some other phones it there faster than galaxy s, but this phone was cheap, awesome developer support, and for me still fast (with CM faster than my friend's stock S3 in some ways lol).
And I forgot... Don't forget that gyroscope No photosphere otherwise... Missing it a lot in Galaxy S lol

Yeah. I think ill get an s2 as it has a lot of developer support (codeworkx develops cm like on my tab) and I find my tab extremly smooth (even on stock samsung) and the s2 has the about the same specs as my tab so i may go with it. Thanks for helping me make up my mind. Hope the galaxy 3 comunity doesnt die though.
Scratch that. Nexus 4 is now 80 pounds cheaper. Nexus 4 here I come
