Nexus One or Galaxy S?

The only difference that I see between the two (T-Mobile USA's Galaxy S) is that the screen is .3 larger... Any other difference? Thanks.

802.11n on Samsung
also see here
gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3115&idPhone2=3069

802.11n on nexus also. I prefer the stock android look + themes, we can even run the samsung launcher.

Either phone is a great phone to go with. It all depends if you like the larger screen size and the manipulation of the UI elements from a secondary company. But as for future OS releases, the nexus one will always be the first to receive them. As time goes on manufacturers will release better hardware and thus the nexus one will become even more obsolete. Ultimately, it falls on the end user as to which device s/he will likely choose. To sum it up it all boils down to preferences.

The Samsung will be great for 3D apps/games due to its better gpu and larger screen but then it comes down to whether you want Vanilla Android or not as the rest of the features are coming on 2.2. Cool feature of Galaxy S is its ability to function as a remote for 2010 Samsung tv's

u can also give HTC Desire a thought!

well since N1 has Google's logo at the back this means constant updates (first to get em also) and more support... also i like thinking that i have a phone by a company named " high tech computing" + a google engraving at the back rather than this.

cmon it's a frisdge company
(p.s i'm kiding no hard feelings)

You forgot, Galaxy S also know as Vibrant, will have front facing VGA camera, no LED flash, 4" SUPER AMOLED display (better in sunlight but not much) Faster GPU, CPU, better multi-touch handling and 720P Video recordering without rooting or modding.
I want one, but I currently have NEXUS ONE... engraved... LOL
I'll wait until the end of the year for better super phones.

I have a Nexus One and I was thinking about getting this phone as a replacement. The problem I'm having with my N1 is the shotty 3G. It kills me, at times I will have full bars of 3G, and seconds later it will drop to two bars of Edge. This problem doesn't occur on my wifes phone(mytouch slide), she keeps full 3G. I won't even be using the phone, I can just have them sitting on the kitchen table and watch the levels of service drop on my N1. I've also noticed as of late that the screen isn't responsive, causing me to have to touch multiple times to get something accomplished, ie: when using the keyboard, or even trying to unlock my phone.
Other than those things, I love my N1 ... but I'm starting to wonder if the Galaxy S will be an upgrade?

Galaxy S It's Bigger(screen) lignhter better colors better prosesor better gpu records out of box at 720p samsungs easy to use touchwiz,
Nexus One It says google on the back lol

I found this one today, pretty usefull and clearly Galaxy rocks2:

1 word, hummingbird.
noice that rhymed.

[Q] Next potential phone?

My old CDMA hero is about ready to die, its eating SD cards, turning off randomly and the volume buttons dont always work, what would be a good replacement phone? Im looking for a phone with a strong dev base on SPRINT i wanted the droid x but i cant find a way to switch it to sprint. Any advice on this or new phone suggestions are appriciated.
It is rooted and running CM7 so preferably a phone that can run CM or something AOSP

Sorry.. I can't help.. i have no ide

I'd say the evo, has more dev support than just about anything, and definitely has CM7.

I recommend this H2000 Google Android 2.2 Dual SIM Dual Standby Quad-band WIFI TV 3.5" Capacitive Touch Screen Smart Cell Phone which I just got from PickEgg and still wait for its coming.
I think this phone is awesome, check out the details:
- OS: Google Android 2.2
- CPU: Media Tek MTK6516 416MHZ
- 512MB ROM + 256MB RAM extend to 8GB max
- Advanced feature: WIFI, analog TV, JAVA, Bluetooth, FM radio
- GSM compatibility: quad-band, 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
- Support dual SIM card slots and dual standby
- Screen: 3.5-inch capacitive touch screen, 260k QVGA, PX: 320*480
- Camera: dual cameras, primary 2.0 MP with LED flash light, 0.3MP second camera

The future is floppy
It's more bends and twists really..

I love Galaxy S and Nexus S so SGS 2 would have win points over Motorola Atrix 4G (CES Winner 2011), though I've seen poor reviews, I find it hard to believe with all the power and features this could mess up, love the WebTop ;-)
Nexus 3 is January 2012, here and now it's Galaxy S II, even with it's missing physical camera button, flimsy battery cover, missing notification LED and whines from reviews made with pre-release models, I find it hard to accept such an amazing device, only made better could be wrong!
For the record, I also think the Sony Arc is a nice phone. I'm not interested in nice things.. only truly inspirational and feature rich devices make it to my view. SGS screens are amazing but then.. they did practically invent HD Television so it stands to reason ;-)
For the record I own two Desire HD's... My wife likes the functionality. I think she is blind and the second, is what happens when you get over enthused with HBOOT ROM hacking and carried away
I've blown up Sony Xperia X10's and keep one around for fun.. does not mean I endorse a PlayStation phone.. I have a PSP for that ;-) The DRM system implemented in Sony's early devices is now gone, thankfully and have been told the ARC is what I expected when I purchased my first Xperia X10 and wouldn't doubt it either, but it's not a Tegra 2!
What do you want from your phone? I use a camera for photo's, games machine for games, computers for programming and tablets for reading.. my phone really is a phone with email and SMS... it's your call!
Good luck!

I'm kinda looking at the evo but not sure because of the flimsy screen the nexus looks good aswell but I haven't had the chance to play with one as for the others, those are GSM it needs to be CDMA thanks for all of your suggestions keep em coming.

[Discussion] Looks like Pantech is moving to the big leagues with the Pantech Magnus

Pantech Magnus

Known mostly for budget-friendly phones with not very hot tech specs in the U.S., Pantech might be looking to upgrade its playing league. We haven’t yet heard anything clear about the recently teased Flex, but the Vega S5, Star Q 4G LTE and Marauder looked like much more than the modest gadgets we’ve been used to see from Pantech.
Now a new Pantech-made phone has been leaked, and, although it’s not exactly a contender for the Galaxy S3 or HTC One X, it might come with high-end-ish specs. The Magnus (which is Latin for “great”) seems to be on its way to AT&T and might enjoy a release by the end of September.
First spotted getting FCC approval at the beginning of August under the P9090 codename, the Magnus now stars in a leaked pic that can only mean one thing. Someone is trying to build hype around the handheld, so a launch is imminent.
The photo doesn’t reveal much about the “Great”, aside from the featuring of an 8MP rear-facing camera with flash and the inclusion of a front-facing webcam (most likely a 1.3MP one). Still, we can easily tell that the phone will be running ICS out of the box or maybe even Jelly Bean, having some juicy on-screen navigation buttons.
A few other tech specs have been rumored before, including the featuring of a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 processor, an Adreno 225 GPU, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of on-board memory and a 720p HD display. The screen will probably measure around 4.3 inches in diagonal, although it could go up to 4.5.
As for the design, this is actually quite intriguing. The front is not very original or unusual, looking kind of bland even, but the back is a whole different story. There are not only sexy curves there, but also quirky bumps, which makes this look a bit like HTC’s Incredibles. This is clearly one love or hate design point, and, while some will find it innovative, cool and special, others will most likely call it ugly or tacky. I for one kind of like it, because, even if it’s not the absolute most elegant phone ever, it’s not ordinary either.
We of course know nothing about the Magnus’ price or exact release date, but as soon as we’ll find out something we’ll let you know. For now, tell us if you’re at least intrigued about the phone’s design and rumored spec sheet.

So what do you think? Will it be big? Personally i have the pantech burst and it's a very good phone but we have so few developers. So will this be on top? or a flop?

I think this is a great phone in todays market even including LTE capability, if price would be around usd. 250,-
Can this phone be purchased WITHOUT an ATT-plan ?
I would like to use it in Europe (Netherlands), so where to buy ?
Anyone...

interesting, I've never paid attention to them before but more variety and competition is a good thing.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

witch origine it is ?

If it is priced right (around 199) i think it would do well. If it is priced more than 200 i would just save up for the GS3 or OneX

Will it be released in indonesia ?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app

it has AT&T branding.. seems like only America will get it? and its probably available so cheap because of subsidies.

Wonder how it compares with the pantech maurader, battery life on it was terrible. had some nice features for older people.

another korean phone...

Kingsing S2 as LG G2/G3 Clone Hands on review

Recently, i got a very beautiful smartphone from China, i have tested this smartphone and played it well. Therefore, i will share with you about Kingsing S2.

}
Appearance
When i got it first, the look is almost like LG G2 or G3, and it was very light, The 5inch QHD IPS screen plays videos still in nice screen quality although it's QHD IPS screen. And it has 1.6mm narrow bezel, he body wide is only 69mm,and a 76.4% screen to body ratio. So i was very impressive by the appearance.
Hardware Performance
It's powered by MTK6582 Quad core 1.3GHz CPU, and first, i thought Quad core will not amaze us, and there is nothing interested in this quad core smartphone, but after i test it by playing games, i really make nice impression on this smartphone. And although it's RAM 1GB ROM 8GB, it is still very enough for me to store my useful files, if it has ram 2gb version, it will be better.
What's more, it also uses the latest android4.4 kitkat OS, whick runs faster than Android4.2 Jelly bean.
Dual Camera
Kingsing S2 has Front 2mp camera and 8mp back camera, to be honest, i am not so satisfied with the front 2mp camera, but the back 8mp camera is very good, because when i take the scenery pictures, the picture quality looks nice. For me, cameras are very important when i have a travel, because i like taking every beautiful moment.
Unique features
Besides the apperance, hardware and dual camera, therea are also some features or functions that i need to share with you.
first, it suports Heart Rate Monitor,which is same function as Samsung Galaxy S5, you can put your fingers on the hear rate sensor located on back of the smartphone, beside the camera, the screen will display your heart rate in a minute when launching the “Heart Rate” app.
Second, it supports Air Gestures (Included Air Call-accept), you can wave your hands to view the pictures one by one in your gallery, and picking up the phone to answer the phone call.
Third, it supports double click to turn on or off the display, you just need to double click on the touch screen, the screen will turn on or off instead of pressing the power button.
Fourth, when you hold Volume button to quickly launch the camera, Kingsing s2 can help you open your camera quickly by holding Volume “-” button for 3 seconds when your phone’s screen is off, the phone’s rear camera will get a picture automatically. It supports snap shooting. Fifth, it can support MTK Hotknot, this function is similar to NFC, and you can transmit the data by this nice features.
In all, the smartphone Kingsing S2 is one of the best LG G3 Clone, i think, and the price is very cheap, i would like to spend on buy a clone of LG G3 rather than LG G3 at the expensive price. Do you have other idea about this smartphone?

Wow, it looks exactly like lg g3, and it's much cheaper, i also got the giveaway news from my last seller 1949deal, they hold a large giveaway about kingsing s2 and kingsing w8, i would like to share with you, hope i can get them for free.
by the way, anyone can provide kingsing s2 ROM for me?

For the ROM check in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/kingsing-s2-lg-g3-g2-clone-knockon-4-4-t2864848
And no, it doesn't actually look like the G3, more like the G2. The G2 design is similar to the KingSing S2 (both has the speaker in the bottom). The G3 has the speaker (on the backside) and design all different placed. The KingSing S2 is more a LG G2 clone.

Review and rooting guide below.

Review
Performance- The Mediatek chip performs exceptionally well in this device. I'm pretty impressed with what this company has been doing with its cpu stuff lately.
Build- It feels solid.
LTE- Many low budget phones are still shipping with HSPA, so it's nice to see LTE in this one.
Display- It's not really a bad display, but it's clear that it's a cheaper panel. Really just way too cool in my opinion.
On screen keys- these are literally the best thing they have done on the phone
Android 5.1- I seriously doubt it'll ever see any update, which is a bummer.
When it comes to looks, I'm kind of torn on how I feel about the Xfire. On one hand, I think it's kind of OK looking; on the other, I think it looks cheap. The thing is, I can't really tell what it is that makes me think the latter - perhaps (most likely?) it's the plastic back. It doesn't really look terrible, but it doesn't really scream "premium" to me either.
The overall size and form factor are pretty great, though. It's got a 5-inch display, which is a really nice size no matter how you slice it. It also feels very solid and well-made - not at all like a $50 phone. The build quality definitely offers the more premium feel that I like to see on more low budget phones
Camera - the camera is pretty rock solid on this one, check out some pictures i took
Software - This phone runs vanilla android and is all but stock with some minor "useful" software customizations offered.
Performance and benchmark - this device performance good and doesnt lag, also the multitasking is pretty good.
i have performed antutu benchmark and here are the results
Conclusion - i really love this device, i bought this device as an extra if at all i brick my main devices due to rom testing .this little 50$ beast is perfectly standing upto its price and delivering its best
Rating -

Rooting
Rooting the phone is as simple as installing a app,
just install kingroot apk from below and install it
open it, follow on screen instructions

Question?

Alright thanks for the reply though

maybe there is somebody able to make one, and would be nice to know if xposed was running than?! I read on some reviews that it should get marshmallow, can anybody confirm that? and what about the promised roms cm and miui?!

thanks man.
how much is left in the internal memory, for apps? is it a one partition system, or two?

5,04 gb is left, one partition.
Nobody interested in doing some development for the xfire?
There is a new official rom for the xfire.
http://www.needrom.com/download/bluboo-xfire/
Did not note any (visible) changes.

How to get this phone with $50, it costs more than $70 in all stores?! Thanks!
