Hey guys,
Quick question. Which one to choose? Optimus 2X or SGS2?
I do realise the screen is much better on the SGS2, but is slightly too big.
Opinions?
Thanks
Dont even think of buying lg..

I have just picked up an Optimus 2x for playing with and as my daily driver. Have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. Using Paranoid Android and phone runs very well. May be a little behind the times now but plenty on Ebay at good prices.
Never buy an lg phone . Go for the sgs2 .

Sgs2. Lg got 300 something mb ram. Not even 512mb as they advertised. ****.

Go.for s2 which already has a ics...LG still have to wait till q3 to get update...s2 performance is much better than 2x

SGS2 hands down

Galaxy s2 for sure...
samsung - bad!
lg - worse!
sgs2 - nice
o2x - optimal
the choice is yours!!
Well as far as the performance is concerned, both of them are almost same except the RAM thing. But you can get the Optimus 2x at quite fair price. Rest is your choice.
I think the screen on the galaxy s2 is much better.
complete slaughter by the sgs2. Better processor, more ram, less bloat, has ics and is geared for jb update, and a hell of a better screen. Also Samsung actually backs up the phone unlike LG.

Is trading an LG Thrill for an Infuse worth it?
Sent from my Optimus 3D using XDA App
Anybodyyyy?
I'd say so. I think Samsung devices are the best. Consider though, that the LG has a DC CPU whereas the Infuse only uses single core.
That being said, the Samsung is clocked at 1.2GHz which is fast enough for virtually everything.
The screen on the Infuse is superior too.

I'm not extremely excited about the design but the octa-core processor in combination with 2GB RAM sounds like music in my ears, although i'm disappointed that TouchWiz is basically the same, but my Galaxy SII contract is ending soon and I might be willing to pay a little more to get the S4.

I would love to get the S4 since I have S2, so its a reasonable upgrade.
I doubt it. I have the S3 so I will probably wait until the "SV" or until the S3 starts to feel old and unable to do what I want it to do.

I will not, because to be honest it is only a minor update compared to the S3. It is essentially the same phone but a better screen and SoC and a whole bunch of touchwiz "features". I never use touchwiz anyway...

I'm definitely getting the s4. Love the new real metal band around the phone. I was disappointed at first at the lack of styling changes until I saw the s3 - s4 comparison photos. It is absolutely a stunning phone.
Now only question is, International octa core versiob minus the lte or a quad core snapdragon us version. I opted for the international version for the gs3

Nah. As a TMO user who enjoys the International/World phones: Galaxy S4 news was a disappointment. Was really hoping Samsung would've stuck with just 1 phone especially for us who enjoy Samsung using Wolfson DACs in their phones instead of mediocre Qualcomm SoCs. Their desire to constantly do yearly releases with little benefits is wasteful. They should've just stuck to promoting the S3 alongside software updates until they really have a good product on their hand.

What groundbreaking hardware? The same SoC as GS4, but slightly lower clock speed?
Or do you just mean the materials used and front facing speakers?

AW: Will you be getting the Samsung Galaxy S4?
Will stick to my i9001 for a while despite 8cores are quite attractive.

Samsung never...
It doesn't have good build quality and manufacturers dont give what they are promising
..I have personally experienced that with s2 and I know my friends who got broke note 2 just by falling from 2 feet...
And one more thing exynos processors they are closed source..which means not devloper friendly..
Custom roms has too many bugs..and they r using octacore word just for attracting more people

HTC One is still the best phone.. even better the s4!
After using HTC for the last couple of years I really hate phones that feel cheap. The plastic quality build of Samsung phones makes me stay away from them. And I'm not a fan of TouchWiz at all.

Hey guys
I could need some suggestions, which new phone (Android ofc) I should buy.
The price group is between 200-300€ and the phone has to have a dual-core processor and minimum 500mba of ram.A good screen resolution is preferred too
My favorite at the moment:
LG optimus L7 II
Price: 249€ *-*
Processor: Dual-core 1Ghz
Ram: 780mb
Screen: 4.3 inch with 800x480 resolution (~214ppi)
Android: 4.1.2 with LG UI
Full phone specifications: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_l7_p700-4565.php
This phone seems to be the best for its price.
Anyone knows a better one maybe?
Don't want to buy it and then find out that there's a better one for same price ^^
And another important question:
Do you think this phone will have developer support?
Thanks in advance

There is nothing comparable
It's sold out almost everywhere here in Germany and if someone has it on stock the price is about 350€ for the 8gb version :/

Instead of optimus l7 try l9.
Most better than ur favorite one...
But quite costly than l7.
Just google it....:thumbup::thumbup:

I'd say l7 is a great choice for your price range.

LOL. This phone has the SAME specs as the upcoming BLU Life View. Price is around there too.
It's a shame to hear that the phone I was going to buy is a cheap chinese phone.
The Nexus 4 is always a great deal.
I'd recommend a Nexus4; solid phone; affordable price
Hi all, I am so stuck between these two!! The Samsung s3 would cost me a extra 80quid but I am trying to justify spending the extra on a device which is very similar spec.
Would appreciate people's thoughts, opinions and experiences
Many thanks!

I have an lg 4x hd. I love it. The only problem is the locked bootloader. It is supposedly going to be unlocked, but who knows when that will ever happen. Great phone though. I think it is much more durable than the s3.
Just my opinion......
Did a little more searching... seems some european models are able to be unlocked. Haven't tried it yet.

+1 the above
I have the 4X HD as well and love it. It is faster than my colleague's S3, the battery lasts longer and it looks better too.
If you want something that you can put custom ROMs on, then the S3 will probably always have better support, but if you want a device that works go for the 4X HD. I have a Nexus 7 and my old HTC DS for my ROM work, so my phone can do what it is designed for.
I prefer LG to Samsung but at this level it's all about personal preference
Thanks all swaying towards lg now a little, I am just really bad with descions like this two years is a long time to have a phone

I know most of you won't care, but I want to say goodbye to my S4, all of you on the AT&T Galaxy S4 forum and Samsung in general.
I won't be buying another Samsung phone until they finally realize that they need to badly optimize their software. I am finally sick and tired of the lag and slowdowns on this phone regardless of rom and kernel combination. And the Note 3 videos show the signature Touchwiz ui lag once again, snapdragon 800, 3gb of ram and all.
I will be getting my LG G2 on Tuesday and will be selling my S4. Good luck to you all it has been real and there are a lot of great people here! Hope to see you all again one day.

Hopefully you don't get stuck with a locked boot loader with the G2. I personally dislike the software overlay the s4 comes with but that's why I run aosp style Roms. Good luck with the G2

Umm, are you serious? You base your statement on what? I bought a LG Optimus G Pro for extremely cheap to check out the LG software and ui and then I flipped it for a profit.
There was zero lag. As in none that I could find. And look at the videos of the G2. The thing looks screaming fast and can only be faster than he Optimus G Pro with the Snapdragon 800. That is scary to think about because the Optimus G Pro is scary fast.
Compare that to the Note 3 videos and you can see lag all over the ui which is standard for Samsung lately.

I ran an LG OGP numerous times before getting the S4. No lag--I just didn't like the 5 inch size. Good Luck--
Still say the s4 is better and nicer. The screen is outstanding and mine with the mf3 update works great. Every android phone lags a little. Also 4.3 is coming to the s4 in October because they need to update it for it to work with the new smartwatch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
To each their own. Before owning the S4 and note 2 I had the optimus G and with the S4 pro CPU and andreno 320 GPU the phone was very fast and fluid. LG has been stepping their game up IMO.

The lg is a really nice device no doubt but the lack of an sd card slot is a deal breaker for alot of us....I def need the extra storage!
Enjoy your new device though :thumbup:

Thanks bro, but 32gb is plenty for me. I put several albums on locally that I really want on my phone and then use Google Music for the rest of my collection. And I don't put or watch movies on my phone.
But as you know, everyone has different needs. I can't wait for this phone, I think I will enjoy it based on early reviews and videos.
Enjoy your S4 bro!

I would prolly pick one up if so just for something different since ive been all sammy the last 3 devices.

Bro, do it! Haha. The phone is gonna be an absolute monster. I picked up a cheap LG Optimus G Pro to see if I would like he LG UI and all of that and it was wicked fast man. So I can only imagine how fast the G2 is gonna be with the Snapdragon 800 and Adreno 330.

Hmm that's funny because my touchwiz rom doesn't lag after some simple optimization and my cpu even goes down to 81mhz, in fact its snappy as hell.
P.S. Have fun with LG, the worst quality electronics company ever. With a list of horrible products in recent and past history I could make a whole forum about.
