Confused..advice needed for Galaxy R

Hi friends,
I was thinking of buying Galaxy R. But wanted your review..How is this phone? and why very less development in this forum? I heard it will get Official ICS update in mid 2012..but over all would you guys recommend me this phone?
how is the battery life?
Would you guys recommend me this phone over SE neo V or xperia pro?
is it worth going for this phone for its dual core and nvidia GPU?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank You

There are already few similar threads on previous pages of this section.

Thanks but its been many days since anyone asked such question
and also now there r more users hence more view on this phone

Get it as soon as possible..The phone is running out of stock everywhere.

Ugly? Seriously? It sexy to me. Its a good phone, but if you want more Dev support buy the 2X or wait for the Galaxy Nexus.

Better than the Sony phones. Battery life depends on hour usage. Generally lasts a day. Worth buying. Less Dev support because it launched quite late and after the S2. So not many people bought it.

I meant its UI is like their non-android phones(cheap phones)..they look alomost same...hence it doesnt feel gud
development is importart for me..i am coming from moto defy...lots of development happens over dere( 2nd rank in CyanogenMod ranking )
Galaxy R has got very good hardware..dunno y dev is so less...

HW is pretty decent! I have never had any single issue with this handset. Aftermarket development is unfortunately an Achilles heel for now, but it can change for better. FW is very good, stable, you can hardly notice any bugs. But yeah I admit touchwizz is really ugly. I came from HTC and I really preferred Sense UI. But sammy's stock roms have this advantage that they are quite easily customizable, and you don't have to be a dev to do that.

Yes they have already stopped manufacturing i guess. Yesterday sulekha tech shared the specs on their facebook page for galaxy s advance and on asking if this is a replacement for Galaxy R, they said that Galaxy R has been stopped by samsung.No more would be availaible. I think the people who got it on time are lucky.

Its a gud thing and a bad thing..
Good thing coz they got very nice hardware for gud price
Bad thing coz as there are less galaxy R hence less development
One more good thing is that it will get official ICS update

I agree with you. It was a very nice price for such hardware and regarding the rumours about the manufacturing defects. i think as long as they have manufacturers warranty there is nothing to get worried about.
another strange thing which i noticed is that people started buying more and more R from the time it started getting out of stock. Hope development doesn't stop.
ICS is really the best thing about it and truly speaking i am not much impressed by the Galaxy S advance whcih i think would be around 25-26k indian rupees. so S2 or even the Note would be better option for buyers.

[Q] Want to buy a gaming phone

Hi every one.I am new in xda-developers.
I am from Indai and I wish to buy an android mobile which can play games very well and has good gpu.
my budget is around 20,000 INR or you can say 340 US $
I want to buy a mobile with aat least 1.2 GHz cpu and it is good if its dual care and should have good gpu like mail-400 to play games as i like to play games i dont bother about camera and other as with such specification the there will be good camera
I wish to buy it in january but my parents suggest to buy it after i complete my 12th HSC exams i.e. after two years
So should I wait 2 years or not and do you think the mobile price will decrease after couple of years
Thanks in advance and sorry for bad english and grammar mistake, if there is one

If you have friends in US then get a nexus 4, although the 16gb version might be out of your budget. If so, get the 8gb version. Galaxy s2 and xperia p are also good choices.
Sent from my soon-to-be bricked Neo V

I think you can pre-order nexus 4 but the main problem with nexus is that it doesnt have a micro sd slot(as read on web that cannot expand memory)
when u buy such a phone with so good specs u will need lot of memory to store pics and games as i am a gamer additional data for each game would be around 200mb and i am going to store all best games found on earth
i wonder when is google going to give memory card slot for their device as it is the only thing which stops few customera to buy mobile or tablet from google nexus series.
taking galaxy s2 under consideration then it is priced around 25000 INR or you can say around 400 US $ and think xperia P would be around 350 US $
I think waiting a couple of years
will be okay as i alreay own a galaxy ace duos s6802 but cant find cynogenmod specially for my device and my also cant play games with good graphics
but keep on suggesting mobile and will the price of mobile go down to my budget
If yes then what do you think which mobile i worth buying after couple of years

I'll tell you what, i think you should and go according to what your parents say...but even if you are eager to buy a phone why don't you buy LG Nexus 4. And about that space issue, i think you can use a USB OTG on the mobile( Need conformation)....OR you can go for a tab, i think Samsung Tab 2 7.0 will fit your needs....

I need a phone not tablet
I have an galaxy ace duos s6802 but to buy a new phone i need to sell my ace duos and carrying a tabley with me is difficult so i prefer a phone not a tablet
And yes google is selling very cheap compared to samsung and samsung uses very cheap hardware
Like my phone has broadcom processor while tipo has scorpion o snap dragon proccesor
I prefer google phones as they give good features for less price
And as i said nexus 4 is out of my budget at this time but it may get cheaper in couple of years
And nexus S is also good one but it only has 1GHz cpu and i need 1GHz+ cpu
so think waiting a few years will be good

So guys, what should i do

Xperia P fits in your budget nicely...its a good phone...and as a Sony user ..i would recommend a Sony Phone

Btw beware xperia p has one of the worst battery backup !

I think you should go with Xperia Neo V. Xperia Neo V is the upgrade version of Xperia neo has launched with new features. This phone looks like amazing with 3.7 inch multi-touch reality display and 5 mega pixel camera and other features also superb.

Thanks for the reply guys
As nexus 4 is not officially launched in my country(India) and it is not available on google play India as well
But on online store the price is not less than 25000INR~416 US$
I think the price is rasied by LG itself because as LG has released its optimus G which has similar specification to nexus 4 and a 13mp rear camera so people would buy nexus 4 instead of optimus G which will not be good for LG
nexu 4 is also manufactured by LG but google is selling it at no profit loss
Do u guys think the same a I do or is your opinion differnt

Indian Galaxy S4 Owners Thread -Discussion, Reviews and more

Hi all,
Starting this thread to discuss all about GS4 and its availability in India!! One stop shop for all the info.
As samsung has already informed S4 will have a global launch, so we can expect it very soon in our Indian market from the date of launch..
The device is expected to ship in coming month, April. So many street retailers will ship the device at launch time. Officially, the date is not given for India.
So guys chip your thoughts about the Galaxy S4.
This post will be updated with all useful info related to s4.

I knew it you'd be here xD, planning on getting one? Or permanent nexus fan?

Re: Official Indian Galaxy S4 Owners Thread -Discussion, Reviews and more
Buying sgs4 on my bday 8th may should be available by 5th may according to androidos

Likely to be <40k.. right? considering the S3 is now 29k.. surely over 40 would be too big a leap

Alright. I'll be moving from an iPhone 4 (yep.. that old). I have no preference between this and the HTC One.
I've been using the 16gb for a while and I know I'll be fine with the 32gb on both phones. The micro SD isnt important. Both have OTG.
I like the design on the HTC a lot more.
The battery life is important for me though. I dont see myself carrying an extra battery though.. unless the one in the phone wears out.
On my current phone, an hour of gaming uses up ~20% of the battery.. An hour of video playback on medium brightness uses up a bit over 10%.
The One X did really poorly on gaming.. The S3 did alright..
Could you guys give me an idea how the S4's battery is likely to perform.
That'll probably be the deciding factor for me.

Reading the octa core big.LITTLE concept and the massive 2600 mAh battery it will ship with, the S4 will keep you pretty happy in terms of battery.
S4 again will ouput raw power while the HTC One will take some hit due to heavily embedded Sense framework.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Most reviews seem to suggest Sense 5 is heavily toned down.. But I agree.. the bigger battery is a bonus. and the 4+4 should, in theory, be more efficient..
If Samsung hadnt gone for the hyper glazed back, it wouldve been an easy decison.. Probably the same if HTC had gone with a 2600 mah battery.
As it is, I'm confused. Battery life takes precedence though..

[Q] Atrix 4G or Atrix 2? Which one to buy?

I'm planning to buy the Atrix 4g or Atrix 2, They are 150$ and 190$ respectively on Amazon now. Good hardware specs at a low price. Hence the choice.
Which one should I go for? I know there are issues with gameloft games playing on qHD displays.
Are there hacks to play gameloft games like Nova 2 and Nova 3?
I prefer the Atrix 4G because of the larger internal memory and battery size, but also want my choice to support gameloft games.
Please suggest.

Tegrea 2 is a COMPLETE TOTAL POS .. so if you have to chose between those two go for the A2 that runs on OMAP4430 ..
but IMO ... look for a used S2 or something.. unlocked bootloader so there is no major problems with custom roms (for example there is not HDMI support in any custom rom for the A2) and official 4.1.2 JB .
btw .. battery size by itself means nothing .

I agree with the above.
To add to it I'll say don't waste your money on a Motorola device. They are highly overrated. And imo, the worst devices available.
Samsung gs2 for that price would be decent. Or check for used devices. Might find a nexus 4 for a little more.

Free is my favorite 4 letter word so if I got one for free I wouldn't complain. If I'm going to pay for a new phone, though, I don't want a carrier subsidized, locked down phone. I don't even care if it's locked but can be unlocked. If it's locked at the point of sale, it won't be sold to me.
Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.

Thanks for the replies, guys!
So, even for the low price (Atrix - 150$, Atrix 2 - 185$) I shouldn't take the plunge?
iamezio, scared to go for used ones (Samsung Galaxy S2). Not sure how the quality would be if buying online. Checked new ones on Amazon. It was showing 230$. Felt it is still expensive for a model which came 2 years back

To be honest if the bootloader were unlockble and the support didn't die with ICS it would be a great buy .. but right now i don't think it is .
you can look at something like a Galaxy Nexus too .. there is alot of phones in the price range that would do the job.

Thanks iamezio!
You are talking about the Galaxy Nexus S (single core) or the Galaxy Nexus I9250 (dual core). The first one is 210$ and the latter is 250$+
I'm looking for a good dual core mobile, which supports CM versions, plays gameloft games and priced between 175$ - 225$.
Sorry, if I'm asking for too much!

I think your looking in the wrong places.
Check http://celltraderonline.com or possibly even ebay.
While the devices will be used, the folks are very trustworthy, and most phones are in very good shape. It is where I would go to purchase a phone without hesitation. Might not be as easy as amazon, but you'll get a much better device for the money.

Thanks MotoMudder77.
Not sure if I'm allowed to post links. Found a few used S2 mobiles on Swappa (Couldn't find any on celltraderonline).
Please let me know if I can go for it. Thanks in advance.

Can I ask for 150$ - 155$?

There is no "Galaxy Nexus S" its just "nexus S " .. so obviously i meant the I9250

I would say buy it.. Development just started.. And this phone isn't gonna die any time soon.. Atleast as long as long as I am here.. Only thing I would say is buy a better battery as well.. The hdmi will be fixed.. Just a matter of time..
