[Q] Thinking of buying Samsung Galaxy S Duos tommorrow. Should I or not?

Dear members,
I am new to android world.(never used an android handset so far) I am thinking of buying Samsung Galaxy S duos. My budget is 17-19k. Looking for an ICS device with WVGA resolution and best possible connectivity. Samsung Galaxy S advance is the other handset in my mind. But S duos looks fresh. I use mobile for facebook, little email and music. I dont play games on mobile phones (neither on PC ) S duos is available at 16.5k & SGS advance at 19.5 k in my city (Mangalore). Which one should I buy?
Let me add one more thing, I dont need dual sim function. But S duos is a new model & an affordable ICS offering from Samsung. So going for S duos. Ur thoughts pls.
You should just get the Galaxy Pocket, Cheaper and much better.

It is a good idea. I wanted to buy Moto G, but it was too expensive. Next time I'll have to choose a smartphone more carefully. Do you know something about the modified ROMs?

One time i was too cheap to buy good phone, i bought Huawei u8180, this time i had more money, i bought this phone, and in store i tought, oh, this one is better than that, its good phone, but actualy its piece of crap. Moto G plus is, that Motorola give updates so fast, and they are very stable. For comparising, samsung does not give updates at all. What a piece of sh** company. -_-
We must wait for CyanogenMod, but unless unofficial or othed mods. Damn it!

Me too bro, i dont understand, how this big company DOES NOT support cheaper devices.
I think Samsung want to increase a sale. They want just to have profits and force us to change telephones.
@The_Rencis
I know something about Omkar$'s ROM, but it isn't probably stable.
@friendfriend
I heard something Google doesn't want to make new Nexus.

Panie Michale,
Nie posiadam informacji o przyszłych aktualizacjach. Ze swojej strony sugeruję systematycznie sprawdzać stan aktualizacji w menu telefonu:
Aplikacje --> Ustawienia --> Aktualizacja oprogramowania --> uaktualnij, bądź poprzez połączenie telefonu do programu Kies poprzez kabel USB.
Link do niego zamieszczam poniżej:
http://www.samsung.com/pl/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
Korzystając z okazji, zachęcam do odwiedzenia naszej strony internetowej: www.samsung.pl.
Znajdują się tam nowości w ofercie produktowej Samsung.
Z chęcią udzielę odpowiedzi na ewentualne następne pytania.
W przypadku dalszej korespondencji prosimy o skorzystanie z formularza kontaktowego na stronie: www.samsung.pl, zakładka ‘kontakt z nami’, ponieważ bezpośrednia odpowiedź zwrotna na ten email nie dotrze do naszych konsultantów.

All is cheap for Samsung.
No matter which manufacturer we'll choose as long as we'll buy cheap devices we'll not find any fw upgrades - that's the truth. Sony supports devices only for a year, when you're buying LG you're aware that it will definately not get any upgrade. Only Nexus has guarantee of ugprades because it is Google.
I heard that Google is forcing now manufacturers to upgrade ALL devices no matter if it's low/med/hi-end but when will it force it? nobody knows....
For now(I think) we should try to build working kernel with additional governors etc. so we have base to start modding. KitKat requires 3.x kernel, we have one so there is still hope that at some point of time someone will build working CM/AOKP/AOSP/Paranoid KitKat ROM.
CM is coming soon maybe a week or month
Looks like we can't count on Samsung, nothing suprising about that :/ I'm starting to miss my old Sony Neo V, huge dev base, I could replace rom every week/month with a new one, good times. My lesson for the future - at first search xda forum, then buy device... Core is just DEAD.

Gear s2 linked with galaxy with 1.5gb RAM

hi guys, I hope to be in the right and I checked among the topics but I did not have an answer.
However, my girlfriend gave me for xmas a s2 classic but I have an iPhone , so i want buy a samsung galaxy to use it .
Now the question : you know if there are any differences linking the gear s2 with a galaxy with only 1.5 gb of ram than more ?
For exemple , there are less function using an s4 mini instead of a galaxy s5 ? Because i know that there are some difference using un samsung galaxy or an other android phone , but anyone speak about it ?
Thank you for your answer guys and sorry for my english .but , most important , merry xmas !!

from my experience using a Galaxy Note 2 Galaxy Note 5 or galaxy s6 a galaxy s6 edge, a galaxy s5, a galaxy s4, and even a galaxy s3 connected to both my galaxy gear s and my gear s2 the only one I've had issues with is samsung galaxy note 5 & I think it's kind of hilarious seen as how it has 4 gigs of ram and an octocore processor, that being said the few differences I have noticed in the functionality of the gear when using different Galaxy devices is minimally changed. The apps that will not work are generally not phenomenal apps. And they are usually not updated anyway. In theory if you got an s4 versus any other galaxy device with one and a half gigs of RAM will probably have the same basic usability. I hope this help. I guess to shorten it down if you're trying to save some money. The Galaxy s4 will probably do you just fine. If you want to be 100% sure you have absolutely no issues at all you want the best bang for your buck get an S5. It's almost the perfect device for the gear.

thank you for your answer, this is exactly what I wanted to know. I think eventually I'll get a s4 because I will use it as a second phone only for the gear and little else and buy a s5 only for this seems like a waste ...my phone will remain the main iphone 6 with which I am comfortable in the hope that soon will also be released the app for ios... then there is to say that here in Italy, for what it costs to buy a samsung, to have 4 GB of RAM I was watching the new OnePlus 2 (the same price of the galaxy s4 ......) but in that case lose apps made just for samsung .. shame ..
