Hi
I have a captivate now.and I can upgrade to a play or arc at a very good price
Should I do it? And which one?
Thanks!

I think the xperia play is a great concept, poorly executed. Eventually if they start to get games, having dedicated buttons for playing games would be awesome.
I am almost ready for upgrade, I'm holding out for SGS II. That's the next android powerhouse.
At this point if you get anything that isn't dual-core you are getting last Gen tech.

not much difference. depends on your priorities. samsung has more media capabilities out of the box. als has a great headphone amp coupled with voodoo sound the captivate is a great portable music player.
the arc has hdmi and is about the thinnest phone i have seen advertised anywhere. it's only about 8.5 mm. also it has a bigger screen and is super lcd so it is a pretty good picture. amoled might have more brilliant colors but really a matter of preference. also has a camera flash.
as far as power and benchmarks they are very close powervr sgx540 gpu in the captivate beats the adreno 205 gpu by a enough to note but not enough to base a decision off of. the quallcom chip in the arc has a better fpu and gets great linpack scores. i think the cappy beats the arc overall if it gets loaded with gingerbread but we are not talking huge margins here.
really unless there is a need for a feature on the play or the arc id wait for a better phone that catches your eye. you may prefer the fact that the arc has gingerbread and th ecappy need it to be ported. you may want hdmi conectivity. really i cant tell you one is definatively better than the other. you will have to decide for your self.
I would get the Arc if you can. The play thing doesn't look too special to me. Unless you plan to play a lot of games on your phone.
I've really not heard many good things about the Play. I would consider it a bit of a downgrade from the Captivate.
I've heard some better things about the Arc, but I would wait until the SGSII to come to your location. Looks amazing!
I ended up getting the Arc and traded it to my GF for her iPhone 4 and sell it. Keeping the Captivate for a while. I may still end up getting the SGS2, but right now because the arc is so heavily discounted for me to renew my contract, it makes sense for me to do that. At least I know there's still a lot of hype for the iPhone 4 and can sell it very easily.

I really dont understand if there is some internal conflict within samsung as to what devices they would launch? WTF is the point of this phone??
It's only going to cause more competition between samsung's own devices, if they think superamoled is so important they shouldnt have released the galaxy R in the first place.
Now because of the "galaxy S" name it's probably going to sell alot more than galaxy R and will end being a better phone I think.
And I actually love superamoled even the pentile one but I still think the timing of this phone is just wrong, they should have instead marketed the galaxy R which has perfect hardware with beautiful LCD and only needs more dev support to be a better phone.
Its closer to S plus than to the R, only four inch and prob not having one gig of ram so this is NOT an R2 imo, R is a royal class and the next R Should b an r2 not an S, s class.
Anyway this would make angry to the s users if they updTe to ics and not their s,

It has mali-400 MP GPU, I really really doubt it will have 512MB RAM.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js_tKyE0nzU&feature=related
The screen might be a bit smaller but it's superamoled.
This phone is on a completely different level than the original galaxy S and S plus.
I am absolutely not saying this is a much better phone than the R, it's about on the same level so I am not saying it's R2. What I am saying is that it's going to further cannibalize the already average sales of the galaxy R.
Anyone with the budget of this range will definitely go for the Galaxy R. It's meaner and sexier.
Moreover, by the time this device hits a price drop, gets into the hands of many and finds a home in xda, our device will be well off. We'll have plenty of Dev support. People will still want a Galaxy R.
---------- Post added at 01:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------
People who knew about phones never bought Galaxy S plus. This device probably just brings in more fragmentation. The Galaxy S is still a good device. You'll never have shortage of dev support or desserts from android as long as you are in xda.
And talking about our device, there's nothing to worry about until a few months passes after the release of Samsung Galaxy S III. Untill then we are boasting around one of the most powerful devices. (Ours' is not the most powerful phone but comparable to the top of the range devices. Benchmarks may speak differently, but for all practical purposes, the performance is more or less the same)
---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------
Our device is moderately future proof too. But once the Cortex A-15 based chipsets make their way into smartphones, the scene will differ.
The Exynos 5250 (32nm architecture with Mali-T604) and other chipsets sporting PowerVR Series6 GPU has multiple times the power of current gen chips.(2x processing power and 5x graphics processing power and much better power efficiency).
But these wont bother us probably until 2013. All you Galaxy R owners, you have made one if the best choices as of now in deciding to choose this phone.
Interesting post dh33r4j!
dh33r4j +1
Gambler_3 I do really doubt it about 512RAM , if samsung denied ICS to S1 with 512 they need a need argument in terms of ram, could be 768mb or i dont know maybe 1GB in this case S advance would be closer to R, but also to the flagship S2... i dont see that happening.... What would be the point having S2 1gb ram dual core and a S1 adv with 1gb ram dual core? ...
S advance is much better than S plus but still worse than R, the amoled screen is not better than our SLCD they are diferent, ask S2 owners about greenish screens (very common in S2) and Tegra2 is inside in a big variety of devices like LG, tablets... so I think like dh33r4j , our chip is more future proof in terms of supporting games of course all this is only my hummble opinion and I can be so wrong.
BTW, the tiers of samsung are, Y, M , W, R and S. so i expect they follow that scale and the next R , is the R2 something like i-9xx3 , in other words a S3 downgraded like R is for the S2 and de SCL (is for S)

It's samsung, many things they do dont make sense.
I prefer superamoled but ya the display of R is also very good. I also prefer 4" over 4.2" as I find the S2 and galaxy R to be a bit too big so thats another possible reason for this phone to provide a more portable dual core phone.
I was thinking of getting the R, I am not quite sure now.

hahha completely agree with you, "its samsung" no more words to add LOL.
I think that i'll change brand for the next android.
What's the alternative? Motorola and HTC with locked bootloaders? Trust me HTC technical support is much worse than Sammy's. They can really act ridiculous sometimes.
Actually....I'm pretty much satisfied with Samsung both with HW and SF. (HTC devices are not that reliable as sammies in terms of both FW and HW nowadays) The only thing tat pisses me off is marketing (lack of support for some devices...ours ?) and the update policy. While in Southeast Asia people has been enjoying android 2.3.6 since november...we still "enjoy" android 2.3.4 in Sweden..WTF?
yeah, you never know when they will update in each country, if they ever do LOL.
Still dont know which brand will I go for, I have time to look the behaviour of the market's brands. maybe a nexus
Nexus is a good choice. Samsung's HW + google FW which means the freshest updates!
http://www.sammobile.com/2012/01/30/samsung-announces-galaxy-s-advance/
these are de specs its 768MB ram
so, 1ghz dual core 758MB ram 4" clearly not that good as de R.
Very wise movement of samsung they include +256mb ram extra so they can include ICS ( not confirmed yet thou) so S1 users cant complain... and if you want an S with ICS get this new S adv good job Samy!
R tegra2 dual core 1ghz 1GB 4.19" 21Mbps
S advance :dual core 1ghz 768MB 4" 14.4 Mbps
so R is better imo and ICS will take advance of our 1gb or ram for sure.
Well mali is more powerful GPU isnt it? But it isnt that well supported so I would still take geforce ULP over it.
It is probably going to be pentile display so the superamoled is not very big advantage as you get lower resolution. But in all honestly I would still rather have galaxy S display than R display and it seems like the display of the advance will be identical to the original S.
One detail missing is if it will have gorilla glass which I strongly presume it will which levels the playing field somewhat in my opinion.
Many people are reporting samsung has stopped manufacturing the R which would really be an unfortunate thing, I dont think they already produced buck loads of it so we cant expect many devs to have the R.
Well according to gsmarena it does have gorilla glass. There have been alot of reports of the galaxy R screen being not very scratch resistant so thats a real advantage I think.
Ive seen SGS scratched and it includes gorilla.... I'm happy with R's screen , it travells always in a pouch and happy, in regard of GPU maybe mali is better dont know, but in terms of tegra games compatibility for this 2012 I think our Nvidia would stand better chances to play more games without any plug-ins at all.
SLCD is great IMO, and about discontinuity issue, dont have info here in spain but, anyway I dont like to flash alot, all I want is a bug free ICS ASAP, I think is all I expect in exchange for what I paid for, If I were interested 100% in scene I would have gone for the S2 instead, so I dont mind the R not beeing a flagship all i want as i said is to get a decent bugfree ICS.
And another definite plus for the galaxy R is the half aluminum back, it's so nice to touch and doesnt add too much heft to the phone unlike HTC phones which go completely overboard on metal and it ends up being a brick.
I have been looking for Galaxy R from a week now. It is not available on Flupkart,Letsbuy,Sulekha, Ebay.in, and even at websites like Indiaplaza.
Went into a Samsung flagship sotore, they said it is not available now, went to India's leading mobile store chain, Mobile Store, they said, it is not available, we havnt got a piece from Samsung!
What now?
GM(sales India) told me tat they will be dumping galaxy R very soon
He also said Galaxy S III will be released very soon..there must be some business strategy
Pretty Lame Strategy.
It appears as if they are desperate to float in the "S" legacy.... They should have worked on Galaxy R ,for its next release instead...
yea..they will also be launching "Galaxy S advance"...but they have promised ICS update to galaxy R..
EDIT: forgot that this is actually the name of the thread ..my bad
So what is it? I'm switching carriers soon and would like to know who to switch to. I'm really asking in terms of speed, screen clarity, and the overall cool factor.
Also, could you be specific as to why? You know, specs, etc.

No, the best phone out there would be right now the galaxy s2, this is why:
-Exynos 1.2 gHz processor: much better than qualcomm no matter what (surpassed maybe by the S4 or the Tegra 3 but not yet released)
-Better 8 mp camera: The sensors used by this camera are excellent (maybe only surpassed by the iPhone 4S sensors).
-Mali 400 GPU: One of the best gpu existing today in the market only found in a couple of phones (again maybe only surpassed by the nonreleased chip of the MWC)
-Super Lightweight: One of the lightest phone that some may say it feels cheap but dont
-Super Thin: One of the thinnest phone today only surpassed by the RAZR and other unknown phones.
-Super Amoled Plus screen: Wonderful screen with surprising colors that amaze everyone and with its plus technology it makes a more resolution effect although its only 800x480
this would be some of the reasons of why to choose it
here are my two cents hope it helps, thank if i helped

I have to agree here. While I do agree the SII is better (yeah I'm a GNex owner and my butt is a bit hurt from it) I don't see the margin of difference terribly large. The GNex is still an outstanding phone.
how much is "soon"?
If I was in your shoes, I would prob wait for Samsung galaxy S3.
I agree the international version of S2 is the best, the galaxy nexus does have a excellent screen, one of the best noise cancellation to be found on a phone. Top 3 android phones until Tegra 3 hits is Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus, Droid Razr Maxx.
Wait for GalaxyS3
I have a galaxy s and its amazing. I cant wait for the galaxy 3
Sony Xperia S, it's got a 12mp camera. The best in Android
This is 3vo CDMA (sprint) not GSM (tmo, att, or a carrier that gives a sim card)
EVO 3D. Even though 3D code is only for sense 3.0, the 3vo has quite possibly the best selection of rooms I have ever seen. So far we have:
1. AOSP
2. CM7
3. Sense 3.0
4. Sense 3.5
5. Sense 3.6 (work in progress, or wip)
6. Sense 4.0 (wip)
7. Evo view 4g sense (tablet rom on 3vo)
8. ICS 4.0.3 (only issue is camera)
9. CM9 (same as ics)
And maybe more.!
Not to mention our various tweaks, amazing quadrant scores, dual core processor, 1.5 gHz STABLE over clock with good battery life still (we can go up to 1.8 but its unstable and can pretty much destroy your phone), dedicated developers, qHD screen, and soooooo much more. You should check us out
Plus, with the recent hboot downgrade ability, our phone is now "unofficially unbrickable" which means I can do ANYTHING to it and I can restore it. This phone, even with a select number of issues, is by far the strongest competitor in specs, deving, performance, etc.

I feel it is the galaxy note international version (the non snapdragon version) with its 1.4ghz cpu. Granted the new gen of SoC tech will be better than this but as far as current day is concerned I feel galaxy note is the best. Granted some people hate the huge screen and I understand that but the big hi res screen is just too great to me.

Just a couple points. The galaxy nexus doesn't use a Qualcomm processor. It uses a TI OMAP. If the Exynos is better, it isn't by much.
The GPU is a PowerVR which is probably weaker than the Mali but still decent. It runs Grand Theft Auto III really well, which is the most demanding thing I'd ever do on a phone GPU wise.
The screen on the Nexus is also AMOLED but full 720p (1280×720) instead of the 800X480 on the S2. It is pentile but the resoultion is so much higher it more than makes up for it. This is clearly a winner for the Nexus IMO.
Also the real pros in buying a Nexus:
Faster official updates and completely stock ICS (no touchwiz, sense, motoblur, etc)

Sony may not have the most cutting edge tech in their phones, but I know they are polished quite well. It was Sony Xperia S coming with GB, not ICS that held it back in my mind. Any ways it will update eventually. Please check out my thread, its a discussion of a similar manner.

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.

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.

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.

I am planning to buy a new smartphone. After a heavy market research, i settled on sony xperia S. But i came to know, that it is a pretty old phone. Its been in the market for a more than past 8 months. What i hear from others, is sony does not let out firmware updates on the right time.
It perfectly fits into my criteria, a 12MP camera,1.5ghz processor and a big screen.
so i am a little worried about the support for it from sony.
whats your call guys ??

I think you mean SGS3
Anyway, Nexus 4 no doubt. I don't see why you'd pay extra for a worse processor, worse screen, cheaper feel in hand, less RAM, ugly TouchWiz etc. There are obviously some benefits to the SGS3 like some of TouchWiz's great features and the far better storage options (with SD slot) but neither of these are worth the extra money.
I will suggest you HTC One S. it's a best smartphone by HTC because it comes with 4.3 inch screen display, 4.0 android operating system, 8 mega pixel rear camera with auto focus & 1.3 VGA front camera, Dual-core 1.5 GHz processor, 1650 mAh battery capacity. You can read full review here:

If you can still wait till January, how about oppo find 5. It got a looks of xperia but with the latest hardware.

Have been in doing some search for phones myself, as I have almost lost hopes of getting a NX4 in the near future.
In the range you have specified, I would stick with a NX4, provided you get it from US. Otherwise, I would suggest the call is between a HTC One S (Seems to be stockout in most websites) and Xperia S. By the way, HTC One S available in Asian markets has an S3 processor compared to the S4 processor available in other markets. So again, you might want to check that out also.
Don't think there is any point in buying a SII now.
Thanks for all the reply.
It helped me a lot. I think people are talking about nx4 a lot here.
And yes, I am planning to get one from US. But if in case, it doesnt workout, i cant wait for it to get released in india.
That's why i am looking out for another alternative. Can anyone, tear down xperia S for a complete review.
As i asked previously, can i expect JB and other updates for it. Seeing Xperia SL in market, i think sony will wrap up xperia S soon.
so is it still worth buying

None of those specs are even remotely close to newer flagships. Again, if you can get better (the Nexus 4) for less, then why bother with an older phone? I doubt it's going to be that easy to find one either.

HTC One S has JB and Nexus 4 will keep you ahead in Android Game! Xperia S is good and since it has got AOSP Support it will give you good upgrade path. How about Sony Xperia Ion? Not Bad considering screen size.
