What phone should i buy ??? - General Topics

hi guys
i want to buy a galaxy S2
so should i buy one form At&T or T-Mo or Sprint or globel verson ????

Why buy a S2 when S3 was just released? Or you could buy the HTC One X.

wait for the S3 to come. and the htc one-phones are probably a bit better than the s2. but max. a bit

WAIT for the global galaxy sIII to be released and then buy that

samsung s2

Buy a Galaxy Note
I would Buy a Galaxy note as i had a brand new nexus with official ics and sold it and bourght a note and couldnt go back to a smaller screen then ive rooted and flashed stunner ics i woudnt swap it for any phone now i have a quadrant score of 44130 blows my nexus out the water.massive thanks to all at xda as i knew nothing about phone development untill i stumbled apon this forum and now im flashing custom ics roms

If you must get a GS2, go for the "Skyrocket" model, it's CPU is clocked to 1.5 versus all other models being clocked at 1.2

thanks for the advise but you guys change the topic
i think that S3 is not very impress compare to S2 with the price 600 euro

guys on here telling you get s3.... is nothing so special about s3 apart from faster cpu ....and the design of s2 is much better than s3

Go with tmobile and save yourself some money...

Which phone should I buy now?
I've had the HTC Wildfire since last year but I'm getting pretty bored of it now because of the slow processor, graphics and small screen.
Basically, I need a big screen, good camera(capable of HD recording), nice multimedia features and a decent processor in my next phone.
I'm thinking of getting the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V. Is it a good phone or should I go for something else?

Galaxy S3.

Easy, Global, more development and support. But Galaxy Nexus would make better sense with updates

I'd also go for global for the dev/support.

If you have already invested tons into micro sdcard, go for sgs3, note or sgs2.
If not and you want style at the expense of no storage/battery upgrade options .. go for one x.

Samsung Galaxy SII even if for samsung upgrade reason maybe I'll chose HTC One X

Just buy the samsung galaxy siii.. man.. that phone is awesome .. just like a portable computer..

Which is better??

Which mobile is better to buy??
Need reviews....
Samsung Galaxy R
Samsung Galaxy S Plus
Or
Samsung Omnia W
none of the above, Nexus is best, or the upcoming SGS3
I will took Galaxy S PLus from them.
I dont think if he is asking about SGS3, maybe he dont have money for the newest phones?
no ICS 4.0 upgrade for SGS Plus
I recommend Galaxy R because it will be Ice Cream Sandwich in the near future.
What the heck is R???
I have heard most about "Samsung Galaxy S Plus". Don't know about others

The Galaxy R is basically a GS2 with Tegra 2 and a 5 mpx camera. Between those it is the smartest buy. Not mention that he will be getting ICS

The galaxy R is the best phone out of the three but its also the most expensive one.
I'm gonna buy a galaxy w due to the smaller size & the fact that it is much cheaper(at least here in sweden)
i think Samsung Galaxy S better
I have a Galaxy S and love it.
In my opinion its Galaxy S+, because its more perfomance
Buy Samsung Galaxy S Plus its an Android. Omnia W is a Windows phone. And Galaxy R have some problems like poor battery life and sound is also not so good. Samsung Galaxy S plus is great than both of them.
Samsung Galaxy S Plus is the most powerful and fast and has Android!!!
Go for Galaxy R
Go for the galaxy R because it's better and is cheap+its getting Official ics

Well two things to consider, what do they each compare too and how big is the custom rom support, because samsung phones are easy to get rooted and start flashing custom roms which improve the user experience A LOT.
Well I wouldn't get the S Plus as the S is near enough the same thing but the ROM development scene is much bigger for the S, so better rom choice.
The R is a cheaper S2 but once again, the rom scene is tiny (much smaller than the rom scene for S Plus). And as the S3 was recently announced, the S2 will probably start dropping in price, especially if you pick up a good condition second hand one of ebay for example.
Omnia W is a windows phone. Nothing against windows phone, but android has more apps, and is just more customizable. (But i do like the look of windows phone, and if the app store grows a lot more and the intergration with windows 8 is great i could possibly look into a windows phone 8 device or something)
I'd wait and drop the cash on an S2, it'll last you ages, GREAT rom support, official ICS releases so no ports and an awesome phone in itself.
If the S2 is a bit too much money or a bit too big, hen get the S. The S plus isn't that much better than it, really.

I agree!!! S Plus is an amazing phone

[Q] Which phone should I get?

I'm going to replace my HTC Wildfire with a better second-hand phone that still retain Android as OS, possibly with ICS support, even with rom xD.
For a budget of 200€ (250$) which should be the best for multimedia, gaming, etc..
Thanks in advance ^^
LG optimus 2x Speed
HTC is very nice...
When you have 280€ you should buy HTC Desire S .
I have it too.
It´s great
I think LG X3 will be better option it has marvelous specs but you have to wait for it....
agree if you can wait for the LG X3
that would be a good option
Wait for the Samsung Galaxy Note LTE
Wait til Feb 12 and the Samsung Galaxy Note LTE will be out for AT&T for $250 there is nothing better til the SG3 comes out this Oct

Looking 'bout the galaxy note
:Q___'
A lot of the cheaper Androids can be overclocked to run at excellent speeds. I wonder if there's a chart comparing speeds between overclocked phones somewhere.
Its coming out for 299$

Based on the available(by Feb 18) phones on contract in the US, I don't believe there is a phone with better specs than the Note. If you can't handle the size of the beast, maybe wait until the Skyrocket HD comes out probably in March or April.
I for one am getting the Note on the 18th, mostly cuz I don't use my device as a phone much and want it more for the mini tablet aspect.
I don't believe the GS3 will be in the US for at least 4 months, because they haven't even announced it yet and when they do it will make the euro tour before we see it. I can't wait that long.
I think HTC EVO 4G is good

Honestly you should purchase the Galaxy SII skyrocket from samsung it is worth the buy!!
Samsung galaxy s2, or save some more money and wait for the s3.
Probably the Note is the best deal... but mine speaker distorted and my friend's one home button feel loose after extensive use.
But if the above not happen, then it will be the best C/P device for this moment

The Galaxy S II or the Galaxy Nexus. Samsung has stepped up their game big time. HTC is still good as well but needs help in the screen technology department. Seems like every LCD screen out there can't compare to SAMOLED. Samsung phones are also light and thin.
Ok guys! Thanks to everyone ^^.

Mid to High Range Phone

I got around $500 bucks to spend.... and in my price range I have 2 options.
Galaxy S2 or the Galaxy Nexus.
I'm not sure which, all i know is my wife who has the Galaxy S2 has a lot of trouble with games, and the Nexus has a powerVR in, slower but more compatible.
S2 or Galaxy Nexus? (i'm not fussed about the 5mp camera on the nexus)
Which is more hackable of the 2 i guess lol or maybe i should wait for the Quad Core Beast from Samsung to drive the prices down a bit more...
If you are willing to get a used phone you have alot more options than just those two phones you mentioned. Look in the marketplace

Depends which S2 your wife has. If she has the T-Mobile one or the AT&T Skyrocket, there's your problem. Those have Snapdragons in them, which suck for gaming. They're not real Galaxy S II's. They're only branded that way to make people buy them. Only the Sprint Epic 4G Touch and the AT&T i777 (Galaxy S II) have the original Exynos chip with the Mali GPU (the one in the real GSII i9100).
If you want a high res display with no microSD slot (16/32GB for GSM/CDMA models respectively) and pure mod-ability, get the Galaxy Nexus. It's pretty good for gaming, but it probably won't handle the next generation of games as well as the GS2. The Galaxy S II has a better GPU and processor, but a lower res screen (which actually means better performance), and 16GB + MicroSD card slot, and a camera that rivals the iPhone 4S's.
They both have great development communities, and all GSII variants are getting ICS officially. (the i9100 already has it). If you want a phone that will 100% get Jelly Bean officially, go for the GNexus.
Gaming/Media-oriented -> Galaxy S II
Pure mod-ability -> Galaxy Nexus
A Galaxy Nexus from Expansys I think is $399, no tax. I know the Google Play store is selling it for the same price, but with tax here in NY that's $450. You should be able to pick up either phone for around $400.
have u considered xperia S?
Go with the galaxy nexus some pure google

One x?
Sent from my ADR6400L
The screen isn't that much larger on the nexus as it has the soft buttons which render the screen to be almost the same size as the s2. However, the nexus has a higher pixel density whereas the s2 exceeds in contrast ratios and looks better in my eyes

Galaxy Nexus
Pure Google is truly awesome
if u can go out of these two options then maybe htc one x?..or wait for other quad core phones...by sony or samsung(S3)..i think u should go with the latest coz it wont get outdated soon...
Nexus, without any doubt
Swyped from my GNex using Tapatalk
You can consider also HTC Sentation XL
try out galaxy nexus.
Although the Galaxy Nexus would be the usual choice, I honestly suggest that you check both phones' Specs carefully.
While Nexus's display is quite nice and it is "more famous" than the S2, in terms of processor or camera, there's no reason not to choose the latter.
Also, you should consider the release of ICS and CM9 for the S2.
One things I'll chime in from my personal experience against the "pure modability" aka Nexus- the best experience I've had with my S2 was on the old, stock ATT rom with the clockwork mod recovery in the stock kernel. All the custom roms I've tried, above all, that the WORST battery life.
So while you'll be able to get more, useless modability out of a Nexus, S2 will work like a champ right out of the box without ANY issues.

Galaxy nexus or s3

Guys I am planing to buy a new android phone so I am confused weather to buy s3 or nexus which is better s3 or nexus???
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Yeah good question.... i kinda think too. What should i buy BMW or Maserati
from this 2 phones , i preffer S III , but if i got that chance , i would buy One X no doubt!
buy the s3 if you want continuing support, buy the nexus only if you want stock ics. Samsung has almost completely ignored the nexus because they release flagship phone after flagship phone, however the s3 is something they have to continue to support for quite a while.
I'd go for the S3. Faster CPU, bigger+better screen, sd-card slot.

I would prefer S3 Over S4 mini because of screen size and resolution and most its memory and i think S3 is really a very good phone to have.
S3.
My mum recently had the very same debate. She went with the S3 and hasn't regretted it since.
Particularly the screen is better, and the battery is bigger.
S3 all the way. It isn't worth vying all cheaper version of a big flagship phone. Get the s3 since it was the last big flagship phone. The specs are no where near to being outdated. Dancing will for sure continue to support it for a while.
