Samsung Galaxy s 4g OR Evo 4G?

Which one do you guys suggest? Which phone is better long-term?
I just want a phone that's worth getting on a 2 year contract.
If you have any better suggestions for me, Please only suggest phones between Sprint and Tmobile.
Thanks.

Galaxy have better resolution!

try galaxy... better battery

Sprint is getting the Nexus S 4g.

HTC all the way = Evo!

I much prefer the samsung screens, so the galaxy gets my vote. Everyone I know with an EVO has terrible battery life, as well.

Either phone you're gonna have terrible battery life. Galaxy S devices, 4 inch super amoled screen, plus 4g.

The Galaxy S 4G is nice but app storage is low. The Evo is far worse long term.. it launched in June and it was already lagging behind the competition a month later. It's processing power is way below that of the Galaxy S 4G.

Core for core, Snapdragon is actually faster than Cortex A8. Now it's the rest of the chip that you need to look at, such as the powerVR chip inside hummingbird being faster than the Adreno chip inside Snapdragon. Really though, their performance cpu vs cpu you'll only really notice a difference in synthetic benchmarks like linpack. Dev community is amazing for the Evo.

Really? Benchmarks or real world performance? Because the Evo can't even handle TeamLava games without falling on it's face at the stock 1GHz clock.

Well the majority of you guys are going with the galaxy s 4g.
Are there anymore suggestions/opinions on what I should get?

Hi,
The major difference between these two smartphone is “Data network”, Evo use “4G/WiMAX network” (Sprint) and Samsung Galaxy S use “3G GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HDMA” (T-Mobile). The screen size of Evo 4G is greater than Samsung Galaxy’s screen. Evo has 8mp camera and Galaxy has 5mp. Due to these features, my vote goes to “HTC Evo 4G”.

i like samsung more

Everyone and their grandmother knows that Samsungs 5MP camera is a billion years better than Evo's 8MP camera. You're one of those megapixel numbers persons...bigger number, better shooter.
Your lack of knowledge in that area alone disqualifies anything else you have to recommend.
Also WTH is "HDMA" ?

evo 4g all the way good pal

Thanks for your information

The modding community of the Evo is unmatched by the Galaxy S.
Also, the interface is much much better than Samsung's.

Galaxy have better resolution! ...

who cares what anybody thinks,they're both great phones with great features,just decide if you want to choose by phone or carrier and pick the one u like more ,simple....

G2x or Galaxy S II

My contract with t-mobile has been up for two months now. I was waiting for the Galaxy S II to come out in the US, but it has been postponed. Would you recommend getting the G2x now or waiting for the galaxy s II?
My main concerns are:
-less development support for the G2x
-LG made the G2X
What are you opinions? thanks.

1. Less development? Cyanogen just bought a G2x.....
2. LG makes good hardware. They just suck at software. For a solution to that, see #1.

G2x has a lot of support, cyanogen himself is working on cyanogenmod for the g2x, is just a matter of choice, what you like the most, i like my g2x and don't have any problem with it.

G2x among the best
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I actually think the G2x will have way MORE development support than the Galaxy S II. Do we even know yet for sure that the GSII won't be locked down in some way? G2x is easily rootable and comes with vanilla Android, along with its very high end hardware specs. This is a developer's dream phone.

oooh daaaamn nice scores !!!
plus we got G2X ! it's better than 2X ! (better benchmarks scores, we got P999 !!!!!)

This is IMPORTANT to bear in mind about the Galaxy S II:
The international version might run the lightning-fast in-house Exynos CPU, which seems a bit faster than the Tegra 2. However, the US version of the GSII might very well have the same CPU the G2x has, the Tegra 2. Google it.
That said, the GS2 will likely have similar hardware specs, probably a little more RAM, and a LOT more crapware piled on top.

Not to mention Samsung's iPhone knockoff UI. I'll pass.
I do wish I could get that RAM on my G2x

I love my GTX
But i think Galaxy II maybe gonna win ! because ram !
BUT ! BUT !!!
WHO CAN BE MORE OVERCLOCK !!!!! looool
TEGRA 2 OR Exynos???- THIS IS THE QUESTION !
IM BELIEVE TO NVIDIA !

DAAAAMN !!! im SELLING my GTX lololol

Which smartphone shoudl I buy ?

Hello.
I'm searching for a phone right now.
I'm thinking about buying the G2x but I was wondering if you guys can show me something better ?
I want a fast smartphone, reliable, powerful ?
Budget is unlimited.
Thank you

G2X is a very good phone. But if you're willing to wait a couple of weeks for the Galaxy S 2 to come out you should get that.

Thanks for replying.
The Galaxy S2 will be like.. 4.5" for Tmobile and that's too big for me ;/ !
Like which is better: TMobile G2x, Htc Sensation or MyTOuch 4G Slide ?
I can also consier other phones from tmobile.
I really to buy this tonight !
Thanks

I've read outstanding comments about the MyTouch 4G Slide. The camera is suppose to be the best there is on any phone. And the audio quality is suppose to be superior. But I myself don't like thick phones, which slide out keyboards make.
The Sensation is definitely better than the LG phone and looks and feels better...to me. But the SGS2 would be the best one to get. I thought for a long time that 4.3" is the biggest I would want to go in a phone. But I gave a Samsung Infuse a good try and found my new maximum size increased to 4.5". It was excellent. The SAMOLED+ and Samsung's thin phones are worth it. You would be glad to have an SGS2. The sound quality will be the best there is and the camera will probably rival the MyTouch 4G Slide. The battery life will be better too.

If you need a phone right now I would pick the Sensation. Mytouch 4G Slide if you really want the camera, but like MartyLK I don't like thick phones.

+1 for Samsung Galaxy S 2.
It might not have the CPU of G2x but it has more RAM and so multi-tasking would be pretty smooth.
Since you have an unlim budget and if you are willing for new models to come out, look for these specs.
1GHz+ processor. 1GB RAM. 4G. Preferably a dual core 1GHz and 1GB RAM.
3D phones have the cool factor. However, I personally don't think they are worth it.u
That's about it.

I would also go with Sensation!

Actually, if it worth it, I can wait for the Galaxy S II.
When is it being relased ?
But 4.5" is not too big ?

I would recommend SGSII as well.
Last time I heard, it has a 4.3" display.

It's out of question. The OP wants a good device. Not a cheap or budget device. Non of the Optimus phones(except Optimus 3D, Optimus Black and Optimus 2X... or rather the expensive models in Optimus series.. ) can run Flash.. as they are all ARMv6.

我觉着吧，htc g14蛮不错的~

I have as u can see LG 2x and device is great, my friend have SGS2 And i can tell u that multitasking browsing net loading apps is the same speed. But LG is so mych better in games(cuz of nVidia gpu) . On sgs2 display is much better and battery managment us also better. U should buy sensation only for looks and sensUI. Thats my opinion

Well according to the specs (pretty disappointing, but expected that from HTC), its just an ICS installed HTC Desire S...
Single core processor, well, is not future proof according to me... But if u want the HTC experience and prefer looks over specs, then it is for you at that price range...

Watch out the size of the mobile. It is just 2/3rd size of galaxy r. You need the bigger display to enjoy ics, surf, games etc. My friend recently bought in poorvika Chennai. They did not have the dummy piece and asked him to pay before they open the box and show the piece. I don't like the physical buttons and design. Those spaces could have been used for display.

It depends on expectations, it's clearly a successor of HTC legend, and it has its advantages and disadvantages. User interface is pretty nice, u cannot even compare ****ty tw style. HTC tries at least make some modification in their ui, not like sammy. I can bet that camera is not worse than ours. Unibody feels more sturdy and solid. And think that not everyone is an android freak that likes huge and fast devices. But even here devs interest will be most possibly much bigger than in case of sgr. If the price is good I think it's worth to consider.

price difference of sgr and one v

What about htc one s??? You could consider that if it's available and in your budget
One s is dual core and has decent specs

I thought about it too! I just don't trust HTC after my adventure with Incredible S and qualcom snapdragon is not the fastest cpu (1,5 ghz in SGS II Lte is not as fast as 1,2 hgz exynos in sgs II). If not exynos I would prefer Ti OMAP. So I'll wait till somebody test it.

Well, it is obviously not as good as the R going by specs. But mostly everybody has had some issue or the other with the R. HTC devices are the most reliable in my experience.
And the dev support would be awesome.

one s have 1.5 ghz dual core processor which is next gen arm v9 (considered as a one of the fastest smart phone), it have awesome specs like samoled display, 8mpix shooter, preloded ics. but its much expensive compared to one v
one v is 18500 INR (~350 USD)
one s is 34000 INR (~650 USD)

I really don't believe that this Qualcomm MSM8260A Snapdragon (1.5 ghz) is gonna be faster than samsung exynos in sgs2.

Wow...that's really hard to believe, but if it's true then I'm really impressed.

Well, I have never used any of the flagship devices by samsung for any extended periods of time.
But my experience with Galaxy R and Galaxy SL have NOT been amazing.
Reflashing firmwares. Wiping cache. Spending hours on google researching the problem you are having.
Never a samsung again for me.
My next device would be either a HTC or a Sony.

Mine experience is far away from being amazing but it's ok, everything has worked as it should. The only thing that bothers me is lack of both samsung's and devs' support for SGR.
I would never buy a "poorer brother" of a flagship model ever again. IT turned out to be an unwanted child. Next one will be a flagship - due to best support from each side, even the older one like SGS2....but most probably will be a Nexus.

is the nexus on JB faster than the hox on JB too?

Sent from my One XL using XDA Premium

Several people have now said keep the One X. Nobody here says take the Galaxy Nexus. So at least from this demographic, the opinion is pretty clear.
But also remember that this is not an objective place to ask this. For the most part, if we didn't like or love this phone, we wouldn't be hanging out in this forum.
Our One X pretty much smoked everything that came before it for CPU performance. So if performance is what you are looking at, getting the GN is probably a bad bet.
