[Q] Samsung Galaxy Nexus VS Galaxy S II i9100 - General Questions and Answers

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..

Which is better??

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.

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.

[Q] Hi people! a little question

Hi community of xda , I have a little question about two incredibles cell phones.
They are Samsung Galaxy SII and Samsung Galaxy Nexus , I am able to buy one of this , but I am not sure which is better , for this I am here and ask my question.
I want to see opinions of the people and with this I will buy one of the two.
Sorry for my poor english.
Thank you
From these nexus is better..because performance and display is better than s2.and the benefit of nexus is you will get the update of OS on time...sure...
Xperian8~ click thanks if it helps...
This should help you, check here.
Both have a huge community and lots of custom stuff to play with.
The display is nice and performance is not that different either.
Both phones have ICS available.
The biggest drawback of the nexus is no extra SD slot.
If that is not an issue, pick the one you think looks the best.
Edit: Price is currently the same for both on amazon too.
You can't really go wrong with either one.
WARNING:
I'm assuming you have the choice between the i9100 and i9250.
But if the choice is between the i9100G (Current batch of SGS2 being produced) and i9250, take the i9250 (gnexus).

You should compare them on gamarena. I've had a little go on the SII and it's alright but I don't really like the look and feel of it. I've never tried the Galaxy Nexus before but it looks like it is a very good phone. The Galaxy Nexus has a slightly bigger screen (I like big screens) so I'd personally choose the Nexus. Also the I think the SII is slightly overrated and the Nexus is kind of hiding around the corner because a lot of people think that the SII is the best and blah blah without thinking about other phones (This is my personal opinion so please don't hate).

Samsung Galaxy SII without any doubt.
Nexus
Galaxy Nexus... No doubt and if you really want to you can go compare it at "gsmarena.com"
Buy Samsung Galaxy SII it's better and it has ICS update

With all the great Galaxy S2 ROMS....

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

I would prefer S3 Over S4 mini because of screen size and resolution and most its memory and i think S3 is really a very good phone to have.
S3.
My mum recently had the very same debate. She went with the S3 and hasn't regretted it since.
Particularly the screen is better, and the battery is bigger.
S3 all the way. It isn't worth vying all cheaper version of a big flagship phone. Get the s3 since it was the last big flagship phone. The specs are no where near to being outdated. Dancing will for sure continue to support it for a while.

[Q] [DISCUSSION] Nexus 5 or Galaxy S3? (As daily driver, KitKat)

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.
