i have make a search for a new best phone for me i cant choice wich one is the best
i was thinking about SAMSUNG I9100 GALAXY S II vs SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE vs i phone 4 vs HTC Sensation vs Samsung Galaxy Nexus...which one you will suggest to me for the top use ?
My personal opinion I like the new Motorola Razr (Or Droid Razr in the US). 1GB RAM, Dual core 1.2cpu and seperate gpu. 16Gb internal with SD ext support. 8Mp Camera rather than 5.
The new Nexus is comparable but has 5mp camera and no external sd card support, which I just don't understand.
If you like the Galaxy, version 3 should be out 1st 1/4 of next year. That looks a beast.
you have to decide wither to go with Android or iOS.
if you want more apps, much much less customization go with iOS and buy iPhone 4/4s
------
if you want good amount of apps, customizable OS go with Android
then ask your self do I want a phone or a small tablet if you want a phone remove the note from your list
other phones in the market share the same specs: 1.2 dual core around 1GB ram
5-8 mb camera
I will go with HTC rezound (in US) or the Galaxy nexus or If you like the design of
Motorola Razr its good phone (my friend told me its camera is not that good)
my final personal choice will be the new Galaxy Nexus
You can't go wrong with Galaxy S II. It packs all the things we love in Android - big screen (but not too big), open bootloader, great power etc.
I just love the idea of "Pure Google" phones. I have a Nexus S that I love. I'd go for that if I were you, or even better, if you have the budget to afford it, for a Galaxy Nexus.
Pure Google phones = best support (quick system update deployment), no bloatware (I'm not a fan of TouchWiz, Sense and others).
Of course it is a bit irrelevant once you install CM on them, but there's something that makes me feel good to have the brand Google on the back of my phone.

and remember, tinkering with Apple stuff is a futile effort! unless you work for them. which i suppose is like a gang initiation in / out. basically apple-ites live on their own little planet.
I heard that the sound quality on the s2 is not as good as the first version.
i was thinking to buy the htc flyer but with the samsung note maybe i change my mind because i saw the specs for that device and i think is better to have 2 things in one devices and more more cheaper
In my opinion the Galaxy Nexus is the best you could get because you can be sure that Google will support this phone a long time and the hardware is really nice.
The second phone I would choose is the S2, brilliant screen and epic phone.
Hi, I had the Captivate, then upgraded to the SGSII. Now my wife has the Cappy. I just put a rom in the I777. Working great. I love the SGSII.
Just my 2 cents.
i decide that i wont buy an iPhone and i will stay with the awesome android OS.
but i want to learn more about the Samsung phones ...like how to root each of them and if i can root them.
what phone have the best screen from the others and the camera.
also about the best custom things like roms and hacks.
battery life and also the best and more important part what are the problems they have .
And if their is a compare video or site with all the samsung phone i am interesting
What about SG note? Weird that nobody recommends it

That is very simple, HTC Sensation.
It has design, beauty and class over others.
Get iphone because remember if u have an iphone, u don't have an iphone.

The HTC Sensation is very nice. I love mine. Even after buying the HTC Amaze I STILL use my Sensation. It feels very nice in the hand...and you can buy white battery covers which when combined with a new ROM, make you feel like you have a new phone.

I recently got a HD7 with windows phone, and i gotta say, its really nice.
its buttery smooth, fastest growing apps market, etc. the phone is also really nice, fast, good size, good weight, nice screen, not too bad of a camera (cant beat a real camera ofc, but still).
just my opinion.

well i was really impressed by the galaxy nexus but i didn't know it doesn't have micro sd slot n i dun like to be memory limited.
then i thought about the galaxy note but it doesn't have gorilla glass and some ppl r complaining that the screen got scratched so atm am so am w8ing for the galaxy s iii
Next high end 3.5-4" display phone... The ones nowdays are too big..
the next nexus (hopefully built by motorola mobility)
dunno yet, i am totaly pleased with my sgs (only cam sux), but maybe by the end of the year i will get a new phone
no clue which it will be, just know that it wont be an iphone or win7/8 phone
Looking forward for Galaxy S3

Probably sgs 3 when contract runs out at end of year
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
I find it difficult to decide, when phones are being released weekly, and I'm not out of contract until June. As I have an SGS and the SGSll is a considerable improvement, then providing the SGSlll lives up to it hype, there will be no contest.
my contract finished in december, and I couldnt decide if i wanted the s2 on a short 18month contract, and get the s3 or wait for the s3! Ended up deciding to wait for the S3. Would have gone for the galaxy nexus, but the lack of micro SD was a bit of a kick in the teeth!
As I'm not rich I'll just buy a new phone when this one breaks. I'm not into futurology so I don't know when that will happen (hope in a long long time) so neither what phones will be selling at that time. It will be something with Android though.
Like my signature says (already got the note for about 1 week).
After that (july(other contract runs out)) dunno what's on the market then.
I'll probably stick with the SGS for now and SGS III will be my next move - However I'm severly tempted to get myself a Galaxy Tab aswell.....
Android for sure, probably Samsung, and if things don't change too much it will be a Galaxy S series phone.
But my SGS it's like new, and I only buy new phones when the old one breaks, so it could be a long time until my next phone.
i think my next phone will be Samsung Galaxy s III , i have galaxy s 1 and i think that the III is the best choice price / performance !!!!
For the SGS3 i hope it will have a 4.9" Super Amoled Plus HD with ICS Software Buttons. Seems like a reasonable size though i know they will probably make it smaller, not everyone has big hands. Of course i wish quadcore also... And i wish for TouchWiz 5.0 that doesn't include bloat, just necessary additions to stock and small UI refinements.
I hope for a good GPU, too... (Powning everything else)
I am really thinking to buy a Nexus S, but I am not sure cause the SGS2 is also a "beast"
I am waiting to see SGS III.

Probably S2, but not in the near future.

hey guys,
im looking to buy a phone in the upper mid-range category and im really confused between the s2, nexus and the htc one s. the s2 was my original choice but apart from the sd card and the normal sim slot it is inferior to the htc one s. on the other hand, the nexus may not have the fastest processor of the lot but it does have the advantage of being a google phone and thus has a extremely large developer base. I am keen on getting the one s now but i've managed to confuse myself once again. there have been reports that the one s is unable to maintain its black color when scratched and that the phones have had white marks on them because of the ceramic finish . and the lack of an sd card slot is a huge turnoff plus it only takes micro-sims that make the device even more inflexible...
i am utterly clueless here, i would be really grateful if someone could help...
and btw i am very keen on loading different kernels and custom roms on my device and i will definitely be overclocking, and im looking for a phone that is future proof atleast for 2-3 years...
P.S: this will be my first android device and i want my journey with android to be a pleasant one, so guys, please help me.
and one more thing,
I am not asking which is the best phone of the lot, i am asking which phone will be the best FOR ME! so no fanboy rants and petty quarrels please...!!
I personally prefer the Galaxy Nexus due it being a google phone and yes it does have a HUGE developer base both here and inside google. One of the main advantages is that it offers a pure google android experience, so no carrier bloatware apps or overlays.
While the HTC One S is a more powerful device, it does come with the Sense UI overlay on top of Android 4.0. Some people prefer it, while others don't like it. It all depends on the person. Also, on a side note, there is no real way of completely removing the Sense UI with a new ROM without causing some problems.
The Galaxy S2 is still a good device, but will have the Samsung Touchwiz overlay. Though Touchwiz can be removed without a problem.
Both the S2 and HTC One S will have slower Android upgrades than the Galaxy Nexus, which receives almost immediately when it is available.
Overall, both the HTC One S and the Galaxy Nexus will be future-proof as they are capable of running the future Android OS like Jelly Bean. However, the only difference is that the Nexus will receive the update much earlier than the One S. This is not to say the S2 won't get the update, but it will take some time as well.
Aesthetics wise, all phones are beautifully designed and thin, so no problems there.
Have fun choosing as they are all amazing phones!
thanks for the reply. i really dont mind if the updates come slowly. but if the s2 will get them eventually, i'm gonna go for it. the nexus is extremely dificult to come around in my locality and from how much i am aware of, the only assets that the nexus has, over the s2 is a better screen and a larger developer support since its a google phone. apart form that the s2 is better in all regard. i dont really care about touch wiz or sense. I prefer the stock android UI anyway. since that can be obtained in the s2, im gonna go for it. plus by overclocking im sure one can get scores of 4000+ in quadrant on the s2. so exynos is almost as fast as the snapdragon s2 if not faster...
cool. glad I helped Good luck with the new phone!

if the Gnexus is not available i would definately take the SII any day. While the One S has the S4 processor it doesnt have a micro SD so limited to 16GB and no removable battery. SII any day.
Go buy the Nexus. You'll have more fun with it to flash etc ...!
Galaxy Nexus for sure. I went from iPhone to HTC sensation then Evo3D but both played up. Got the Nexus and its the best mobile ive had.

Help, my phones up for renewal now and for once I'm not running out to upgrade. I'm on SGS2 at the moment from a HTC Sensation XE from a Nexus 1 and I just can't make my mind up.
The HTC One X doesn't appeal because I use my phone a lot and do a lot of traveling on business which means I generally have to buy a Mugen battery. I also have an expensive 32gb SD that I'm not ready to throw in a drawer just yet.
The Nexus I I had was the most fun for flashing ROM's and that is essential, but the Galaxy Nexus feels like a bit of a step down from this phone and the previous and I want a big screen as I use it for office and email a lot.
A real head wrecker.
Helpppppp!

Between the Nexus and the S3, the S3 is a better device (best processor, screen, overall experience). You might end up waiting a bit longer for official Jellybean or other future updates but that's a compromise I'd be willing to make. If you really want the precision note taking ability the Note is probably the best choice.
Yeah, that's pretty much my thinking too. My heart says go with the Nexus but my head says go with the S3. The Nexus would probably annoy me because I'd root it within minutes and put Jellybean on then get fed up at no Flash support, and the Galaxy will frustrate me by not having stable CM9 due to all the new hardware....and the Note is just a fat S2. Grrr, why don't Google time their Nexus releases with my phone contracts.

Flash works just fine on my Gnex running jellybean.
get a S3, it may look horrible but its worth the while,
its like chuck norris
Buy an off contract Nexus test it out and if you like it when the new Nexus phones are released use your contract renewal to get that .You don't have to use it right away
i think the Note 2 is coming out soon, but I wouldn't recommend it anyways
Hmm, I can see it isn't just me that would struggle with this decision. I think its a toss up between the S3 and the Nexus, but searching the internet has given me a headache as I believe the One X is actually excellent in battery, and Sense 4 is good because I had it on my Sensation. The Note 2 is intriguing too, if its the same spec as the S3, but I could be waiting ages for it to hit the UK vodafone shops (when is it due for release anyway?).

I also what to buy a new phone, and I'm thinking about waiting for the Note 2 because I love that huge screen, but don't want to buy an "old" phone.
Also, the Note 2 should have a slightly bigger screen with an higher resolution.
Shortcomings
When I am in this situation I always ask for the weak points of each phone. A chain is as strong as its weakest link, so that is what one has to look for.
The Galaxy Nexus has no SD card slot, yet only 16 GB of built-in memory. That is an incredibly stupid design decision, in my view. The thing cannot hold a candle to my old Nexus One with 32 GB.
Other phones have a battery you cannot swap. That is even more stupid, as the battery may only live for a year under heavy use, and I always carry a spare, in case the one in my phone runs dry, which it regularly does when I travel or move around a lot on foot and cannot recharge. Hence these phones are just as useless.
Unfortunately some idiot designers come up with ever more ideas to render a phone worthless, so you have to be very wary. Articles with news about phones are useless too, because they concentrate on the strong points of each phone and neglect its flaws. The journalists write worthless stuff and leave out the useful information.
Can anybody think about other value-subtracting features of new phones? GPS flaws seem to be widespread, as are design decisions that turn a mobile phone into a regional phone that fails when you travel.
Which is the company that makes fewer mistakes than the others?
I'd personally recommend the nexus because you always get first updates
Everyday use + modding = Galaxy Nexus
Everyday use + media (storage and screen) + gaming + modding = Galaxy S3
Everyday use + media + modding + gaming + really big screen = Galaxy Note
In terms of power: Galaxy S3 > Galaxy Note > Galaxy Nexus
The Nexus gets updates first, but the international S3 (and Note) will get updates quickly as well. Just don't get the carrier variants.
I think s3 is your choise and the batery of this phone is much better than any other smartphone,and for the other spec.of this phone i have no words.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I'd say S3. I own the i9300 (international) and it's great!
Thanks guys, that really is useful. I think on balance it has to be the S3 then. Didn't realise that the Galaxy Nexus didn't have an SD slot, madness, that rules it out with the One X.
The note would be nice but the old one is just a fat S2, and I have a thin S2 and a TF101, so it's not worth wasting an upgrade on that. I will ask Vodafone when the new note is coming, but failing that, I'm going to have to plump for the S3. Does it have a fixed battery though, because that would be a deal breaker really considering all the travel I do. I often munch through a full Mugen battery let alone the stock ones.

Nope. It has a removable battery, MicroSD slot, and even has a menu key! (holding it makes it search). So none of that stupid One X black menu bar.

I'll wait for the Note 2.
As of now, You may not be able to buy the Galaxy Nexus.
The note2 is rumored for a September release to try to take sales away before the iphone5 is released. Before it was rumored for an October release date.
Hello,
maybe stupid question. Maybe it was already answered.
Is it worth to upgrade from Desire S to Galaxy S 3 ? In slovakia, it costs 465 EUR.
I'm planning to buy a new phone. Should i buy S3, or wait for something new ? However, i don't plan to buy phone for 700 EUR. About 500 euros is my top limit.
What do you think ?
One is a small, old phone, will old camera, but it does everything quite well.
The other one is a huge new phone that's a powerhouse in any of its incarnations, and it flies.
If you're asking about the difference - it's a BIG difference.
But what's "worth it"? It's completely personal and subjective. If you have better way to spend almost 500 Euro and you don't care about having the latest and the greatest, and your current phone serves you fine - then it's not worth it. If you want a new and powerful phone, and feel that your DS is annoying you - go for it. Only you know what's "worth it" and what isn't - for you.
By "is it worth" i mean, whether i will have top smartphone at least for 1/2 year.
Because new Galaxy will be probably presented soon, also new phones from htc... Ubuntu phones, tizen etc..
I am affraid, that i will buy top phone at the moment, but in one / two months it will be "old".
I have bought the galaxy note 2 and I'm planning to use it for over 2 years. Who cares you won't have the fastest phone in 1 year... everybody has that same problem so nobody has that problem. In other words, what are you missing now what you will have with the S3?
My previous phone was a galaxy S. This phone served me over 2 years, with all kinds of custom ROMs. Maybe you should focus on a 2 year life cycle instead of 2 months top of the bill.
Good luck!

I am experiencing much worse download / upload speeds, even death grip on my desire S.
Comparing to my brothers Galaxy S3, same carrier, phone next to phone.
Well, then you just answered yourself.
Question is: dont you think, i should wait for galaxy s IV ? How much will it be ?
Odp: Galaxy S3 - is it worth to upgrade ?
Buying top models of anything was always waste of money for me. Good midrange is usually better choice. Always you can swap your phones more frequently for saved money. Don't pay for "best phone" label which will be removed sooner that you expect.
I had S3 in my hands. Decent phone but I didn't piss my pants.
and they are going insane with the ever growing dimensions of top phones...

My HTC Desire S digitiser is really damaged which sucks because I like my Desire S a lot so I have to use a Galaxy S right now and I'm definitely planning to upgrade to an SIII
Despite the increased screen I still feel I can use it one-handed if I need to (for everything except typing) and the battery is a huge improvement over both the Desire S and Galaxy S
It comes down to personal preference though and the phone will last years because of dev communities like this one here at XDA

Yeah, ONYX ! Don't know why, everywhere on internet they call it sapphire black, but in slovakia, it's Onyx black

One x+ if you want lots of storage and a device that can still be operated with one hand. Butterfly if you want a powerhouse. I would stick with HTC phones if I were you they have improved IMMENSELY since the days of the desire s. Build quality has improved and the display/designs of the phones are top notch! The One X had a slight problem with battery life but since then they've been on the ball. Samsung phones IMO are just crappy. They look cheap and the design/build quality is nothing compared to HTC's
Absolutely love my S3 its a massive improvement over the Ds but is itself approaching its first 'birthday' so if it were my money I would hold on until the first raft of 2013 phones get released to see what's on offer then decide ...good luck
YES, you won't regret it, s3 is a stunning phone, although as said above, it is old now, new phones are due out soon, so hang on if you can bare as the price of s3 will drop or the s4 or the new M7 will be an option

I think the desire S works fine but personally, the screen is too small. It's a good upgrade if you find that the screen is too small for you.

Also, droptests of S3 made change my mind..
