Guys i m selling my i9003 i have learnt very much from this device about firmware custom Rom etc
But sorry to say bye ....Can any body tell me which phone should i buy .....Samsung galaxy SIII or Samsung Note 2?

I would go for Note 2 without doubt. At similar prices (around 50-100$ diference) the Note 2 is much comfortable to use it with two hands, but Galaxy S3 is neither good on one or both hands (I hope this changes with s4)
Sincerely I will go for the HTC One (or One X+ although is a bit old). Only because of the materials, and the grip.
Yes definately go fot Galaxy Note 2.
or spend more and go for Galaxy S 4
cuz one simply doesnt go for an outdated phone

I think it's not a bright idea to choose between the 2 phone 'cus they both have the same problem when you use custom ROM. Check the team Hacksung wiki for the problems. If you like flashing, go to Sony phones (Xperia Z or ZL)
I just want better display..no laggy user interface...and most important it should get further updates.

I bought the S3. It's a great phone and I have no regrets. It seems big at first coming from the SL, but 2 days later, it just fits perfectly in the hand and the size is about as big as is comfortable for one-handed use. I use my S3 with one hand all the time.
The Note 2 seems too big. But I have never owned one.
As for the UX, the S3 is unbelievably snappy. It never lags and the screen is BEAUTIFUL.
I am using the stock ROM because it really is better than CyanogenMod. Samsung really made a beautiful TouchWiz experience on the S3. I flashed CM10.1 and I felt like I was missing out on the great features Samsung put in the S3, so I went back to stock. Vanilla android seems too empty for such a powerful phone. TouchWiz makes sense.
You can wait for the S4, but I think the S3 isn't going to lose any attention anytime soon for being such a beast of a phone. Few S3 owners are going to upgrade to the S4. S4 buyers will probably be S1 and S2 owners as well as owners of other android phones. S3 to S4 isn't a significant enough upgrade for the investment. The S3 won't lose dev support, neither Samsung support. It's getting JB 4.2.1 shortly after the release of S4 and there's already a leaked firmware, but the current official ROM is 4.1.2.
PS: The S3 forum is a wild place with a horrible atmosphere. Since I bought my S3, I still visit the SL forum frequently and enjoy the energy here. Cheers!
Thanks

NOTE 2 !!!!!
NOTE 2 is bigger, but u have to think if this is an advantage for you (maybe small hands :fingers-crossed:, or u find hard to keep it in ur jeans' pockets...). But i find NOTE 2 not very expensive and it has better performance than S3
So, what did you end up buying?
Galaxy s3...made for humans

Welcome aboard, buddy.
I went from the SL to the S3 too. Don't regret it one bit! Welcome to the club man.
Those forums aren't as bad as I've seen some get, however, the atmosphere over here is great. Check out the S3's Indian owner's thread if you want an atmosphere like this.
Tip: try the Perseus kernel and play around with it a bit.

I'm currently using Samsung Galaxy Mini GTS5570
I flash lots of custom roms to my device, even with the custom roms on, it still lags me out.
So I decided to make a move and change my device hoping it would not be as bad as this one.
Any suggestions what budget android phone with a not-so-bad processor or should I say speed??
Please do reply thanks :laugh:
I find Galaxy S+ a budget Android phone with not bad speed and some serious customization capabilities. If you have more funds I'd go for SII as it has dual core processor and full cyanogenmod released.
Samsung galaxy s blaze 4g, if your on T-Mobile. I was looking for a budget phone, and this is what I got, doesn't feel like a budget phone though lol. Well its upper mid range phone

Hi folks,
I have been using my HTC desire s for the past 1 Year and em feeling a lot intimate with it. recently my screen got cracked and so I plan on getting a new mobile, after a big walk around the forums I found HTC sensation and Galaxy s2 are the ones having a good feedback and also fits my budget. Now em in a duo of which one to select I like htc sense ui a lot but Samsung is well known for its source code release stuff (I'm a flashalcholic). Please suggest me a good mobile my budget is 400 to 450 usd (max 25000 INR)

EVO
I'm a lil baised but the EVO 3D or the 4G LTE seem really good but I've also heard the Samsung Galaxy S2 or S3 are both great devices and all of those are in your price range.
Ive had the htc sensation and the galaxy s3 not the s2 but me personally i would go with the samsung galaxy s2 seems to be alot of development for both phones but the s2 being more popular would have more devolopment with newer roms in the future i would think. Plus the screen on the galaxy is s2 is better then the sensation in my opinion
HTC One X
Sensation and S2 are both old phones. Or a Galaxy Nexus, much cheaper choice.

Galaxy Nexus. You will have much better and prolonged support with it.
S3 as it is one of the best devices at the moment with very strong spcs. However galaxy nexus is also a very strong device. It like i9100. ( little weaker) but as it from google sources, it 'll get every new software update. Don't forget that nexus s has jellybean 4.1 and galaxy s (i9000,9001,9003,9030) gingerbread 2.3.6!!!!!!!

It depends on your budget. If you've got a fairly large budget and looking to get a fairly new phone with great features and future support and updates then I'd either go with the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Nexus, or the new Nexus 4. I have the Nexus S and it runs great, recently updated it to 4.1.2 Jellybean.
Remember it's all about your budget and if you're the type of person who likes to flash ROM's and whatnot.
Hope that helped,
Regards,

This helped me even more, thx bro, and yeah Gnexus is cheap and good, the nexus 4 is even better than the gs3 and gnex, but scores low in the benchmarks, so I think a food option is the gnex

Theres a cool sony phone thats fairly good and waterproof tho irs not in australia at the moment called xperia acro s.
Please use the sticky in this section for all phone decision questions. Thread closed.
I am in confusion because I want to buy a new phone and I have three choices galaxy S4, htc one and xperia z...
I know their specifications on the paper..but never used...
Gs4 looks best on paper...but it is running on exynos processor and exynos is not open source..and not devloper friendly and I have heard that samsung doesnt has build quality... I have seen that many people broke their s2 and s3 from falling..and what about heating effects..
But although It has great features...
And xperia z and htc one has good build quality and they have Qualcomms chip inside them..
SO WHICH ONE SHOULD I PREFER TO BUY??
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
Galaxy S4 is so amazing.. my choice is S4
So tell me what is good in s4
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
The S3 has been my first Samsung device and I would definitely have no problems recommending Samsung to other people. As far as the S4 goes, my feelings are a little mixed. I very much like the specs on the phone, but I don't think I want to own another device which is subject to delayed updates (both manufacturer and carrier side). Having a Nexus 7, I think I'm going to stick with Nexus devices going forward.
Did ur device fall or something like that...
A lot of ppl were complaining that their device fall and screen has been broken

What about custom roms I had heard that since exynos is closed source so its custom roms r buggy
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
I wouldn't worry about the custom rom aspect of the S4. If there's a way to tweak it, the devs on this site will find a way, guaranteed. I Ann looking to upgrade as well. Super happy with my E4GT from Sammy, will most likely get the 4. Just my thoughts. Hope it helps you.

I don't think it's just Samsung devices. There're going to have more broken screens, since they have sold so many devices. It's just a number game. I'm sure you can say the same for Apple owners...
Xperia z has a moderate display and camera....... Htc one can't replace the real beast(s4)
I hate my X and love my Next.......... Conditions apply*
I would like to buy a new smartphone with Android OP, and support on XDA forums.

I second the S2. large volume means a pretty good market and it meets all your specs. It's also pretty mainstream, so good active development too.
