[Q] Samsung Galaxy Core vs Grand - General Questions and Answers

Hello!
I have purchased a Samsung Galaxy Core i8262 (dual sim) and to be honest I'm really happy with this smartphone because it is Dual Sim and lag free (or if you prefer, it has the same perfomance with a Galaxy S2 GT-i9100)
However, I am in a dilemma. I'm thinking of replacing it with Samsung Galaxy Grand because it has slightly better features.
The pros are these:
8.0 MP Camera and [email protected] video recording against 5.0 MP Camera and [email protected] Video recording
1 inch bigger screen
1.2ghz Cortex A9 vs A5 (same GHZ)
And the only con I have found is the 30euro price difference.
1) Should I replace my Samsung Galaxy Core with a Grand?
2) What have you heard about Core and Grand? which is better?
Thanks for your time

Galaxy R (Dual-core 1Ghz ARM-Cortex A8/9 with Tegra 2)
LG Optimus 2x (This one is obvious)
Motorola Defy (I think it's not sold anymore - TI OMAP 3630 Dual-core 800Mhz with PowerVR SGX530)
Galaxy S Advance (Not very sure about phone specs)
Nokia Lumia 808 Pureview (Don't get me started)
Herpderp Defy.
Thanks man. Had a quick look at your suggestions:
R is bigger (i personally find Ace size optimal for a phone rather than PDA) and more expensive (another £60), so the Ace2 = more bang for buck.
Optimus, very similar, better spec(?) - dislike the 4 hardbuttons layout.
S Advance appears to have 1ghz dual core. But at this stage looks like a 295£ phone.
Wouldn't touch a Nokia smartphone.
Ace 2 it is then!
The new acepta Its really Cool !! ;D

The 2x is almost similar to the R , with Tegra 2 as well
Herpderp Defy.
More suggestions:
Samsung Galaxy W (Probably a smaller version of Note)
Galaxy Note (Quite huge)
Galaxy SII (everyone's favourite)
Galaxy Ace Plus (LOL it's not that bad)
HTC Sensation XE/XL (XE = beats , XL = bigger screen)
HTC Edge (is it out yet ? Lol)
Motorola Defy+ (An upgraded version of my phone)
The badass Xiaomi phone (LOL)
Samsung Focus S (WP7 variant of SII)
Herpderp Defy.
Note really is massive.
W is a good equivalent, but prefer dual-core.
Sensation is another 100£ more. S II another 200£
Edge seemingly not available yet.
Xiaomi doesn't look too bad at all!!! - http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/27/xiaomi-phone-review/
Defy+ 4 buttons, sorry just not for me.
Ace + should be Ace pointless.
Focus S is a Windows phone...aka yuck.
Sony solo. 3.7 bravia screen. 1ghz dual core. 5mp camera. Floating touch (just move your finger over the screen). Will get ics.

Samsung S Advance VS. Galaxy Ace 2

Hello,
I'm just figuring out which one is better in specs?
Thanks
A comparison between the two
^^^
Above is a spec by spec comparison of the two devices. they are both extremely similar but the Advanced usually seems to have a minor bump over the Ace. Though the Aces lower specs ( slower clock speed) may help improve battery life

Galaxy S Advance
I would go for the Galaxy S Advance due to the better storage options.
I would also prefer the Galaxy S Advance.
the Galaxy S Advance win, 4"screen size+AMOLED :good:
i heard a lot positive comments from camera section too
The original S is already better than the ace 2 so you can throw your money now

Galaxy S Advance.. : D
I have an ACE 2 because S Advance wasn't available on my country yet. Both phones can be clocked to 1.2 GHz. S Advance should have Super AMOLED Plus
Had the same dillema and I've chosen the S Advance, becouse of:
1. Faster processor clock
2. Better screen
3. Larger storage
4. Awsome design
I'm happy my s advance is awesome the screen is beautiful the sound is good and the cam is between regular and good my verdict for all including $$$ is **** (four stars)
Enviado desde mi LG-P970 usando Tapatalk 2
Galaxy S Advance Screen - Speaker - and Plastic quality is better than Galaxy Ace 2..
And S Advance corning gorilla glass.. Super Amoled
Galaxy Ace 2 PLS LCD
But Ace 2 Smaller - also screen is smaller and same processor but works 800 mhz so battery life will be much much better.
Are the better features of the Galaxy S Advance worth the doubling of price over the Ace 2?

Samsung galaxy w vs samsung galaxy ace 2

The samsung galaxy ace 2 VS the samsung galaxy w.
These two very similar phones are driving me insane, I can't choose between them, so I could really do with some help.
Part of it comes down to lower power duelcore vs more powerful single core.
But there is also NFC capability, and how all this effects the battery?
Is powering two cores worse for the battery than powering one huge one? ram is also a concern, average vs better than? is trading processor for ram ok, how will that effect the experience?
The prices I can get them for ace 2 £220 (this price does not include unlocking it) http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/choose-tariff/SAMSUNG_GALAXY_ACE_2/PPAY/NEW

Thanks for reading this far!
I've personally had the galaxy w/exhibit ii and loved it. It was fast and zippy and the screen was amazing. I think it came with a single core 1.0 GHz processor and 512 mb of RAM, so it was pretty fast specs wise. There is also a sizable amount of development for it as well. Also $200 for a phone this powerful was well worth it.
I don't know much about the galaxy ace 2, but I can personally vouched for the galaxy w.
Ace2 better than w

I think Samsung galaxy w better, because the CPU Clock is 1,4 GHz and Ace 2 is only 800MHz. These both is NOT UPGRADEABLE TO ICS .

[Q] HELP Deciding Galaxy S2 i727 Skyrocket vs. Galaxy S2 i777

Hello guys, so I recently sold my Atrix 4G and have been on the dilemma on which phone to get... I am currently looking at these 2 models:
Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (i727) | (Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon - Dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion - Adreno 220)
Galaxy S2 (i777) | (Exynos C210 - Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 - Mali-400MP)
From what I have read seems like the i777 features the best performance CPU/GPU compared to the i727 but I would like to know by what margin, will it be noticeable? (Performance is very important for my occasional gaming).
Also I like my phones to be backed by the community with lots of rom's to choose from (CM10 is a must for me) and from the 2 I'd like to know which is the most future proof and offers the biggest developer crowd? NFC Support is a must!
Other opinions are welcome!
Also on a side note should I just fork the extra bucks and get a Gnex? I like the community support offered for it but the camera and lack of external Sd-Card just doest cut it for me. Also how does the CPU/GPU of this one compares to the skyrocket?
Thanks!

1. The Exynos dual SCREAMS, especially when compared to the Snapdragon S3. If the Skyrocket had a Snapdragon S4, then you'd have a decision, but trust me, after owning the Sprint GSII and the Evo 3D (Exynos and Snapdragon S3, respectively, I can tell you that for gaming and everyday performance, hands down the Exynos is the winner in every category. The Adreno GPU in the S3 is terrible for any high-end gaming (Grand Theft Auto 3, Dead Trigger, etc). I myself game heavily on my phone, and I'll tell you straight up, the Exynos dual very powerful and still very viable.
2. The Galaxy S II i777 has NFC, though no Secure Element. What does that mean? It means you can't use Google Wallet, but you can do pretty much anything else, like Android Beam and NFC Tag interaction.
3. The i777 is identical to the i9100P (i9100 with NFC), except for the button layout. You'll get much more support than with the Skyrocket.

It's an older phone. That's how I'll summarize it. The chipset is fast but not fast enough to play the latest and greatest smoothly.

[Q] Galaxy Win I8550 vs Galaxy Grand I9082 - Processor

Hi everyone,
My girlfriend is interested on these phones and asked me which of them is better for gaming/general performance.
Looking at both phones, I see:
Galaxy Grand I9082:
- Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9
- Broadcom VideoCore IV
Galaxy Win I8550
- Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A5
- Adreno 203
I've been reading lots of reviews on both phones and even direct comparisons.
People look at both phones and say: "It's a quad core, so Win is better", but from experience I can tell this isn't always true... In the end it all comes to the processor architecture.
However, in this case, many and many people who reviews these phone say that Galaxy Win has a better processor.
So the question is: Which one has really the best performance?
Also, which GPU is better?
Thank you in advance!
Any help, please?

Why not Grand 2?
Because of the price range, it's a lot more expensive than what she wants to spend on a smartphone...
