Is it even worth buying an S4 at this point?
You know there will be tons of ROMs for S4 in future too...
And people will ask whether is it even worth buying S6 or S8
It depends on needs... S2 will never be that much stable on JB as S4 will be...
S4 got everything latest and all
And with the Touchwiz UI improving drastically with every release...
I would go for S4, if I could

So I was wondering what would be the best phone running android right now?
-best graphics
-best cpu
-easier to hack/mod
?
IMO it's the Samsung Galaxy S2. Although, some will argue the Nexus.
If you can wait until May, the S3 may be a contender though...
samsung galaxy S2 or galaxy note.

I agree... the S2 is just too damn awesome. Too bad the battery is the only (and a BIG one at that) disappointment!
Have you seen any un-rumoured pics of the S3 though? Please point me to some links, if yes.

Yea... S2 FTW!! and Note FT~bigger~W!!
I haven't used the Note yet; but seeing that it's S2's BIG Brother, there's no doubt that it's a tad bit more awesome
Had I waited 5 months, I'd have bought Note early this month for the same price that I paid for my S2 back then (July 2011). However, Note won't fit my pocket; so I'm not cryin' like a baby over this.
My answer to the thread: There's no real "BEST Android phone" in the market yet. Android has a long way to go... So, Google.. if you (or your robots) are reading this post, improve Android fast.. real fast. And solve the damn battery drain issues. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
Sweet. So I do have the best phone out there right now.

Agreed that the S2 is probably the best Android phone at the moment. And your battery life issues are whisked away with updates, so don't worry about that.
See my signature, the SGSII remains the best of them all
My vote has to go to the Samsung Galaxy SII .
I'll buck the trend and say Galaxy Nexus. The SII is a very close second though.
yes i will agree with everion the galaxy s 2
S2 is the current, GLOBAL standard; and, though I don't fully like Android for battery life and mostly touch-only input, I DO like S2 myself.
Samsung Galaxy S2 is my favourite
for my, galaxy note

iphone 4s....I could not resist! considering it has all of androids old features!
Samsung galaxy s about modding!
Which mobile is better to buy??
Need reviews....
Samsung Galaxy R
Samsung Galaxy S Plus
Or
Samsung Omnia W
none of the above, Nexus is best, or the upcoming SGS3
I will took Galaxy S PLus from them.
I dont think if he is asking about SGS3, maybe he dont have money for the newest phones?
no ICS 4.0 upgrade for SGS Plus
I recommend Galaxy R because it will be Ice Cream Sandwich in the near future.
What the heck is R???
I have heard most about "Samsung Galaxy S Plus". Don't know about others

A cheaper version of Galaxy S II.
Then I would guess S Plus.

Only if its an HTC lmao
The Galaxy R is basically a GS2 with Tegra 2 and a 5 mpx camera. Between those it is the smartest buy. Not mention that he will be getting ICS

The galaxy R is the best phone out of the three but its also the most expensive one.
I'm gonna buy a galaxy w due to the smaller size & the fact that it is much cheaper(at least here in sweden)
i think Samsung Galaxy S better
I have a Galaxy S and love it.
In my opinion its Galaxy S+, because its more perfomance
Buy Samsung Galaxy S Plus its an Android. Omnia W is a Windows phone. And Galaxy R have some problems like poor battery life and sound is also not so good. Samsung Galaxy S plus is great than both of them.
Samsung Galaxy S Plus is the most powerful and fast and has Android!!!
Go for Galaxy R
Go for the galaxy R because it's better and is cheap+its getting Official ics

Well two things to consider, what do they each compare too and how big is the custom rom support, because samsung phones are easy to get rooted and start flashing custom roms which improve the user experience A LOT.
Well I wouldn't get the S Plus as the S is near enough the same thing but the ROM development scene is much bigger for the S, so better rom choice.
The R is a cheaper S2 but once again, the rom scene is tiny (much smaller than the rom scene for S Plus). And as the S3 was recently announced, the S2 will probably start dropping in price, especially if you pick up a good condition second hand one of ebay for example.
Omnia W is a windows phone. Nothing against windows phone, but android has more apps, and is just more customizable. (But i do like the look of windows phone, and if the app store grows a lot more and the intergration with windows 8 is great i could possibly look into a windows phone 8 device or something)
I'd wait and drop the cash on an S2, it'll last you ages, GREAT rom support, official ICS releases so no ports and an awesome phone in itself.
If the S2 is a bit too much money or a bit too big, hen get the S. The S plus isn't that much better than it, really.

I agree!!! S Plus is an amazing phone
Hey guys, this isn't just another thread complaining about how the S3 variant of the HOS is left behind, I just wanna get things straight.
So what's the big deal? It's a mid-range smartphone anyways, games run equally fine on the S3 as it does on the S4, UI doesn't lag at all like everyone says, battery life gets me thru the day. The only thing I didn't agreed on was the price.. they should at least cut the price on S3 variants..
I'm curious as to why is it so hard to port all these amazing ROMs the S4 users have been enjoying to our beloved S3 HOS.. I've been stuck at 4.0.3 & Sense 4.0 for months and now that the S4 got Jelly Bean not so long ago.. I mean, come on HTC! If you're selling two phones under the SAME name you should at least show support equally for both devices.. just sayin.
Bottom line: we, S3 users want to see more love from the developers.. pretty please?
Cheers.
The reason why development on the S3 is so slow is actually very simple, not too many developers have an S3 One S to develop for. The S4 version is more common on XDA (from what I've seen) so there will be more focus on that variant

Yeah. I know it's not a simple thing porting ROMs from an S4 to an S3 due to different processor archs, but the latter is becoming more common too, I just expect we get a little support too.. maybe next year.. who knows.
Hello guys
Samsung Galaxy Nexus or Samsung Galaxy S2 ?
Please answer and please tell me the reason for ..
Thanks
S2
For me S2 is apsolutely the best phone I ever used. Highly customable so you can get performances very similar to S3, if not better and it looks more as a phone and less as a tablet :cyclops:
I would have to agree the S2 imho is the better of the two.
A lot of support for custom roms...
A VERY stable phone as it is...
And performance wise, it's really quick even on stock ROMs..
My wife has an S2 (non-LTE), running stock 4.1.2.. it's FAST.. and that's saying something for stock ROMs..
Stock 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Note is garbage.. one of the reasons I HAD to root it, etc..
Plus my buddy has a Nexus.. and I've noticed when doing stuff with ROMs etc.. having an SD card slot, removable battery, etc is nice when modding if errors come up..
Alright, so I'm getting a new phone this summer (or Christmas) and I can't decide between the Galaxy S3 and the Nexus 5. The Galaxy S3 is 100€ cheaper but the Nexus 5 is the newer and more supported. I'm looking for a phone that can be my daily driver and possibly take good photos and video, although I'm not really looking for amazing quality. I'm used to low end smartphones like the Galaxy Pocket (God that thing was a nightmare) and Galaxy S Duos (this one is a bit better but JESUS IT SUCKS AS WELL-- only sometimes).
I don't want TouchWiz no matter how much "faster" and "more beautiful" it is, because I know that Samsung only makes it go fast for about a month and then BOOM it's slow as heck for no reason. If I get the Galaxy S3, I'm gonna flash a KitKat ROM on it.
