New Android Girl nexus s and arc

Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to android and would love if someone could help me. Coming from iPhone 4 I wana get android phone cause Rogers is releasing nexus s and xperia arc on 28th I wana get one but not sure which is better. Please help me everyone as I have only week to decide.
Thanks

Buy Arc Or w8 For Samsung Galaxy S2 ( similar to iphone 4 in looks )

might be forever for sgs2

just looking at the specs the Xperia Arc has the advantage in many areas:
8.1MP vs 5MP camera
microSD slot that can accept a 32GB card vs 16GB fixed internal in Nexus
4.2" vs 4.0" screen
FM radio
micro hdmi

MobileSyrup is reporting the Samsung Galaxy S II to be released late Q2/Early Q3. With a dual core 1.2 GHz processor, 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display and 1GB of RAM, I think it'll be worth the wait.
If not, I think the Samsung Nexus S would be a better choice than the Arc.

Sgs2 released in india. Getting in day or two
In Uk 1st May Onwards.
its not Forever

So not arc? I need one rightaway or nexus s.

If you want something right away, then take the Arc. It's a better phone than the Nexus S.

Agreed.
I used a Nexus S for a couple of weeks prior to getting my Arc and there's simply no contest IMO.
Of course there's the obvious points like the superior camera, the flexibility of having a memory card as opposed to only in-built memory, extra features like HDMI-out and the significantly better looks
But there's also things like the fact that the Arc is smoother, so much more polished and the screen is actually really good - for day-to-day usage, I'd go so far as to say that it's a match for the sAMOLED panel the Nexus S uses.

Hi i would recommend you to go for sony ericsson xperia arc because i have research lot for this phone and i got awesome reviews so go for arc. Thanks.

Except, you know, for the screen you're looking at all day (SAMOLED >>> any LCD), and the constant Google software updates. And the faster Hummingbird in the Nexus.

Nexus Prime

Anyone selling up to get the Nexus Prime? I think I will. Hopefully they've ironed out the little faults with the S2.

I am, if there is expandable memory, and and not the 5m camera but 8m. Love the teaser shots so far and really like the curve screen. I would have the nexus s right now if it had a bigger memory.

It would be nice and I am tempted but I don't think I could cope with vanilla android even if it is ics.

if it has
8m camera \ 2m
a gpu powerful than PowerVR SGX543MP2 (apple a5)
sdcard slot
I will change my galaxy s2

Here are the most accurate specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/possible_specs_of_the_nexus_prime_surface-news-3237.php

Update: A new batch of rumored specs have surfaced over on GSM Arena, and these seem to be more in line with what we'd expect of a new Nexus. According to an anonymous Google employee, that 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD display mentioned above is just about the only spec to make the final cut. The processor, however, is more likely to be a dual-core 1.5GHz Exynos (that's right) with an accompanying dual-core PowerVR SGX543MP2 graphics chip. That rear facing camera? Try 8 megapixels with a newly beefed up sensor. The handset should also ship with a girthy 2,050mAh battery fully capable of juicing this apparent LTE / CDMA / GSM Android monster.

I think the Galaxy S III will be vaguely similar and get a release around February so I might just wait for that. Got a while to go until my contract finishes and perfectly happy with my SGS2 right now.

I'm considering it. Pretty happy with my Galaxy S but that Nexus sure is tempting, for one it looks so sexy.
If it has the rumoured tablet dock I'm definitely sold.

[Q] Help Please, not sure which phone to get?

Hello, I live in the UK and I got a Samsung Galaxy S for Christmas, but now I'm returning it to Amazon for a refund because I paid £250 for it and it's only a single core, so I think that a Dual Core phone would be a much more worthwhile purchase, and would last longer. (and I had the lag issue on SGS).
Now, the problem is I'm not sure which one to get. The Galaxy S II is off the list because of price (£400+), and the HTC Sensation is good but I'll probably have to wait a bit before I can afford it (£330 at the moment).
This leaves me with the LG Optimus 2X - only £250, however I'm really skeptical about this one, as people keep saying it keeps rebooting and freezing etc etc. It's a shame because my mind was set to go for the LG
So yeah, I'm really confused now. Can anybody give any advice?

How about Galaxy R ??
Same as S2 but with scLCD Display

Thats still insanely expensive...

I'm seriously considering buying an MI-ONE.
I watched some reviews and i'm impressed by quality/price of this phone (~£250).
It has an Snapdragon MSM8260 dual-core CPU 1.5 GHz with the Adreno220 and 1Gb of Ram with an MIUI based ROM and unlocked bootloader.
The only thing that stoped me so far is the lack of support in my country (must shippit to china 4 warranty).

Galaxy S+ is also a good single Core option

i suggest a Samsung Galaxy Wonder, although it's also just single core it's not that big and has a really good appearance. all phones do lag my friend and it can't be avoided, even an i3 computer lags too, so i would say it's a part of devices and you shouldn't worry about it. better choose the one with the looks

Not sure what the price is there in the UK, but I really love my Motorola Bionic. Dual core 1GHz and 1 GB RAM. 8 Meg forward camera and 1.3 Meg rear for video chat. 4.3 inch (11 cm) screen. Super fast.

if i were u i keep galaxy s , its a good phone , what u want from a mobile ?? a good camera ? if u want good camera dont buy galaxy s becasue it dont have flash however in dayligh its a good camera .
you can buy a desire hd htc

[Q] What do you expect from the Samsung Galaxy Note 3?

I hope it gets a new look. I still prefer the SII over the S3 and S4.

Metal body would be awesome. 8 core processor or better yet, a quad core snapdragon S4 pro 800 thar runs at 2.1gzh!!!!! 3 gigs of Ram. AMOLED full hd screen screen, 13 megapixle camera, 5.6 inch screen (I know it's not likely but I like that size. Oh, and PURE AWSOMENESS!!!!

You're in luck, it's better:
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/06/09...ra-ii-and-galaxy-s4-lte-advanced-coming-soon/
"The Galaxy Note III is likely to pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC clocked at 2.3GHz, Adreno 330 GPU, 5.99-Inch Full HD (1080p) Super AMOLED Display, 13-Megapixel main camera shooter, Bluetooth 4.0 + LE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, NFC, IR Blaster and LTE-Support. That’s all we know so far, but it is expected that it will run the latest version of
Android with Samsung’s own TouchWiz interface for improved S-PEN functionality."
Oh god I want one!!!!

I'd pass on all of that epicness if it still has the same crappy design, Samsung is turning into Apple.

Well the 'prototype' looks more like the S2 than the S4. http://www.sammobile.com/2013/06/09/galaxy-note-iiis-prototype-showed-up/
Don't take it as fact just yet, because there's no official confirmation, but who knows. 20th June we'll know for sure.
Besides, I was going to get an S4 before deciding to wait for the Note 3. So if it looks like the S4, fine by me

Bigger screen, stylus, FULL HD screen, AMOLED DISPLAY(Eventhough I would be happier Sammy stopped using AMOLEDS and used PLS or IPS displays instead)

Louder sound through the headphone jack. This is really a general complaint with my two other Android devices as well, a Nexus 7 and Asus TF101, the volume is just way too quiet. I hate having to resort to flashing various audio files that often don`t work as advertised. Just give me proper volume control out of the box, I`ll be the judge of what`s too loud.

If you seen the leaked Photos lately, it looks like it has the original body of the Note 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy0pzPkJW6s
But if you look at everything else Samsung has made in the past year, they all look like the S4. Even there tablets the Galaxy Note 8 looks like a giant S4. hopefully they change that, as this is the only real problem of there phones. Its like there doing a IPhone.

Waiting desperately for note 3
Good camera with flash
Note app
gorilla glass
nice sound
fast
all good features from note 2 and s4

What phone to choose

Hello everyone! I want to buy a new phone for me and don't look at the budget because I can buy any phone on the market.
I like phones which are under 5.5" because I had a note 3 and it's very big -.- (I know that is 5.7" but 5.5" is bigger as well). Also I want the phone to take pictures/videos in a good quality and to run every game in the market on maximum. I know that every phone in 2014 can do this, like the samsung galaxy s4 or lg g2 it's perfect for me but I had a problem Samsung Galaxy S4 is snapdragon 600/snapdragon 800 and octa core. I prefer to take a quad core, but the snapdragon 800 don't seems to have many roms or developers and the snapdragon 600 seems to be a little bit old. But if we look at it, isn't really old because he can run everything at maximum, shoot in fullhd, good camera, etc. I am thinking at a G2 or Nexus 5 but they don't have a slot card (i know that 16 gb it's ok and 32gb is more than enough for me maybe but I like to have an sd card to expand my memory..you never know). I'm waiting G3 but the phone isn't really launched to test it and see how good it is (i know it have 5.5" but seems to be too awesome for now). Samsung Galaxy S5 maybe you will think that it's just ok for me but to really say it..the screen..i mean the colors are too oversatureted and I really don't know. Maybe an S4 is just good for me.
So, what to buy between an Samsung Galaxy S4 Snapdragon 600 / Samsung Galaxy S4 Snapdragon 800 and other device?

Well my dream phone is the Note 3. But no money. I have a friend that has the S4 and loves it. Me a cheap java Samsung phone

Snapdragon 800 is way more better than 600 so i would go with it.
But if i had a choice then nexus 5 was my answer since it is a google flagship and what not.
For storage expansion i would say, we dont keep all the worlds junk inside a smartphone and 16 gigs are not that poor.

If you can get an invite, get the Oneplus One. It is 5.5 inches, runs a tweaked version of CM11 and packs all the best specs. Its not 64 bit but it looks great none the less.
I know that with sammy moving towards Tizen, ill be less focused on them and definitely looking for alternate brands.
