Hello.
I'm about to buy a new smartphone (im running Galaxy Spica right now), and I dont know what to buy..
I have a choice to buy Nexus S or Galaxy S + and I dont know which one is better for me. I am a student of computer science, and certainly I will be able to write software for Android. But I would like to record 720p videos..
Also, I found that on Nexus ICS have many problems right now..
Is there any chance for ICS on Galaxy S+?
Or maybe I should buy something else? My phone should be fast, have big screen (cuz I need to read pdf on this) also games should works fine.
I have about 250 euros.
Thanks for help

1. I would say yes.
2. Nope.
It's a bit crazy but, I tested cyanogenmod 10 (jelly bean) and aokp roms but I hate the interface,
after that, I returned to the default rom, waiting for something better (The rom were pretty fast in
general but the interface sucks balls and I lost a lots of apps, so I returned back to the default rom)
And if you root this device or install a new rom with recovery, when you boot this thing with power on + volume up,
on the left corner, you can see if your device was "hacked" or not with the number of flashed roms.
Ignore my frenglish.

Is the android that come with it fast, or has some bugs?
Can we play some heavy games E.x Grand Theft Auto III?
Thank you for your help.
Yes its fairly fast and yes you can play games like that , it would be even faster if you used a custom ROM.

For good games that will work on your tab :

You can change the look of a custom ROM by adding a custom theme easily enough , fairly large collection here :

You can also clear the binary counter ( so your device isnt showing as "hacked")

I think its worth the money in general but its a personal choice , you could always try it out and leave it untouched , if you are not happy in general you could return it to the shop and get a refund.
What model are you thinking of buying ?

I am thinking to get SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P3110 7.0 Tablet PC - 8 GB, White
I own a P-3113 and its a great little tablet , the only issues i have had are the ones i have caused , You can get a better spec tablet like the Nexus 7 but that has one major problem....NO external SD card slot. If you want to play games you need that facility as some games have as much as 1 GIG of content to download ( NOVA 3 for example),YOU CAN'T STORE YOUR GAMES ON THE SD CARD , but you can store your other media on it , such as nandroid back ups and media (pictures/ films and music)
These tablets are not top of the range but neither is the price !
You can't play all the top end games on this but you certainly do have a large selection to choose from.
If you want fast updates and the stock Android experience (as well as a quad core processor and 12 core graphics) then get the Nexus 7, but if you like the Samsung Touchwiz UI and Micro SD (and don't mind waiting a few months for Android updates), then the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is a good tablet.
I can play GTA 3 on Gtab2 7.0
Thank you for help to decide, i will the the Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 inch Tablet - White (16GB, WiFi, Android 4.0) that cost £273.34 and has £50 Cashback from samsung, so will cost £223.34, hope does the same job.
Thank you.

you're lucky, in my country Gtab2 7.0 (P3100 with voice gsm call) cost about $350,
and the 10 inch cost about $450
my first priority is looks, build & battery backup. tell me which one has better looks & real battery backup?
I strictly don't "need" a dual sim...so the second sim will always be empty in either case.Selected this as its the best available in my budget...(btw, my budget was rs.15000 but extended to rs.16000 for this phone as it seems to be a good phone for my requirements)
thought about taking htc desire v but after using my friend's desire v i dropped the idea as the touch seems to be missed by phone for a second...but otherwise its a fabulous phone too(earlier was confused b/w desire v & samsung s duos)
I've used samsung wave 3 for a day (another friend's phone) its smooth fast....but the problem is with apps & games....really couldn't find much interesting apps & games on internet.(being bada 2.0)
None of my friend has galaxy s duos so couldn't use it personally (anybody using it?give me a personal review)
I even heard wave3 is going to get tizen os (intel & samsung tie-up which will enable android apps on this phone) but samsung havn't said anything from last 6 months about confirming this...last update about tizen was a prototype phone launched to test tizen for developers. m afraid that suppose i buy wave 3 n samsung dont come up with tizen update then i would left with just the default apps(like samsung always do...they don't care about their existing consumers & come up with new to the new consumers only)
Also, tell me, i know super amoled display is better but does the tft lcd on galaxy s duos matches it so some extent?
I'm really confused. please help me?
