Is it still worth €150? Or should i get the LG Optimus 2x? Both would be used. How's jelly bean running? Also, how many space for apps?
I would buy it. The price is not Bad. It is a i9020 or i9023? JB is on the Nexus S really smooth. Batterylife is ok. And they are many Roms too.

bought mine for about $200 in my country. now it replaces my cowon j3 as a music player (voodoo + poweramp w/ tweaked eq).
Space might be depended on the rom and partition configuration. Running SlimBean with 1GB available, you can always move the app to SDcard if you need more.
If you are willing to flash roms and customize it then it might be worth buying, but for a little more you can get a Galaxy Nexus. Also I don't feel the camera is good enough anymore, but I do find the GPS signal on this pretty better than other Galaxy S variants.
Converting to USD, 150 euro is a bit much for now, but maybe 140 or less.
Its the best phone I've owned.
I can do everything in one device now. I've sold my sat nav and now I can do away with my iPod after setting up Google Music. I was looking to get a S2 or maybe a Galaxy Nexus, but I listen to a lot of music at work and both those devices haven't got a decent sound chip, unlike the Nexus S . So I will be keeping the Nexus S for the foreseeable future.
I think if you want flash ROMs go for it.
But at stock its still good.

I would always buy Nexus. The Galaxy Nexus is too big so I still vote for the S. It's really smooth with Strawberry ROM from kzno. The only thing that's really bad is the GPS signal. No chance to use it for navigation.

Alright guys, if you haven't already heard the awesome news, Google has finally released Android 4.4 KitKat along with the $350 16GB Nexus 5.
Let's make a few guesses, guys. From articles that I've read online, Google has already released open source AOSP sources for Android 4.4. The question is, when, do you think, we are going to receive this update officially on either TouchWiz or Google Edition models of the S4?
Also, since the source has been released, when do you think we'll see Android 4.4 KitKat in custom ROMs (CyanogenMod, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, etc)?
Also, if you have any comments and questions, FEEL FREE TO USE THIS POST AS AN ALL AROUND DISCUSSION ON THE TOPIC OF ANDROID 4.4. THANKS!

According to the articles I read, it should be coming in the "next few weeks." I take that to read before xmas for the Google Edition ones.
For us lowly Canucks on Rogers, I figure we'll see it around July. =\

Considering most of us aren't evening running 4.3 yet I don't foresee AT&T rolling 4.4 anytime soon. Granted, those who are able to run custom rom's may be able to update to it in due time. But for the lot of us on MF3 we're going to fall behind unless by some miracle Samsung releases the keys at AT&T's discretion.

I bought a Nexus5 2 minutes into the sale. Going to be a hard decision whether to give it to my mom, or to give her my GS4, as she doesn't have a smartphone. I'm loving the google play edition rom on 4.3, and I'm not sure I'd want to part with the phone since it will get 4.4 anyway. The Google Play Edition really breathed life into the GS4 compared to the stock AT&T touchwiz 4.2 rom. It's like a completely different phone, except, unlike a custom rom, everything works, every time. No FC's.

Yeah man, I feel ya! I'm actually running Kangabean GE 4.3 right now and a dual boot with the Omega 4.3 ROM. Touchwiz sure has its perks, but it just doesn't feel well and its quite ugly at times. Even though we don't get the cool air gesture features while running different forms of AOSP, I'd still say its safe to say that the S4 on Google Edition is one of the best phones to have. You have expandable memory and removable batteries, also hardware keys. The Nexus 5 lacks these things. I'm just hoping we get this 4.4 update soon, because I've been dying for it ever since it was rumored to come out!

I couldn't justify biting the bullet and buying the Nexus 5...mainly because the developer base for flagship Samsung phones (S2, S3, and now S4) is so active.
I just had to keep reminding myself that I always end up with the latest nightly of CyanogenMod on every phone I own...so id be buying hardware spec upgrades and not much else (in regards to software since CM is eventually going to absorb 4.4 in its source base)
Man was it hard to say no though.....
I'm very excited for the GE edition to be coming out soon

I'm still up in the air about it, I love my Galaxy S4... but that Nexus 5 looks super appealing. I'm going to give it another week of thought before making my decision. Hopefully, if I got for the Nexus 5 it won't be sold out by the time I sell my S4.
I was excited about the N5 until I read about the battery not being removable and that it STILL didn't have an SD slot...
I want to be able to service my phone if the battery becomes shot for whatever reason, and I don't want my class 10 32GB card sitting around uselessly...
Also, Paranoid Android is putting together builds already

But im pretty sure we will get it some day. Also I think there is a problem with incompatibility from snote from note 3..a lot of complains will happen if the note 10.1 upgrade with it and people cang open files
Which model are you guys talking about?
I have a GN GT-N8013 ( 64G GNote 10.1 original ) and am still waiting for Samsung to come out with 4.3.
Am happy with the basic note but would really love multiple user support.
It's not likely the 8013 will see anything beyond 4.3.

Call it insider knowledge.
Note 2 and SGS3 having similar internals are supposed to get upto Android 4.4 Kitkat..so why not?
But having said that both these phones have only just started getting 4.3 few days back in some regions, so who knows Kit Kat can take couple of years to come to Note N8000, when Google release android 5
Its really a shame on Samsung, they should only release a limited number of devices each year for which they can release timely updates..
As it sits right now, we are 3 OS versions back. We will get an update in the (near?) future. Will we get 4.4? Probably. Will it be before the end of 2014? Right now it seems unlikely.
I'm living in the Netherlands and my Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010 runs on Android 4.1.2. (The latest available version in the Netherlands)
When will the N8010 get android 4.2 or higher.

i wont fall into the same trap again. thats the reason holding me back from buying the note 2014.
Sorry guys if this is going a *little* bit off-topic (I'm going to talk about Android 4.3, rather than 4.4, but hey, still about an update for our awesome yet forgotten 10.1....)
It's a quote from a reply on other thread, by me.
I recently spoke to a Samsung rep (Samsung's website live chat) and with a Samsung rep (in person). Both said:
"it will be updated, at least to Android 4.3, but we cannot tell you when".
So I'm pretty sure we are getting 4.3 at some point. Heck, if the Note 2 and S III got it, it's only reasonable that our Note 10.1 gets it. It was the flagship tablet of its (short) time, such as the Note 2 and S III being flagships/high-end. Everyone's been saying that Samsung won't update it to force us go for the Note 10.1 2014 edition, so why did the Note 2 and Galaxy S III get the update (ok, ok, Galaxy Gear blabla)? Wouldn't they force you to go for a Note 3 and Galaxy S IV? You get my point.
So, be prepared to wait (wait... wait... wai...), and official news about the updates *cough kitkat* are coming.
My guess is: Android 4.3 and no Android 4.4, unfortunately but thankfully.

Very good news, probably in 2-3 months at most.
Slowly im thinking we won't get any updates any more...Samsung will release another s5 version with 5.0 In 3-4 months there will be 5.3 or something then Samsung will tell we skip 5.0 to 5.3 like with 4.4.3 or now 4.4.4 and all this only to push note 4 and edge but the best part of that is that they will tell in few months that note 3 galaxy s5 got 4.4.4 cause Verizon/sprint and s5 lte a like with s3 actually they updated china/korea s3 to 4.4.4 why they are wasting time to work on region specific firmware and then bulls hit like this to current flagships (note 4 is 2 weeks old and has 4.4.4 ) im owner of tab 3 s3 s4 s5 and n3 I love Samsung but their confusing bulls hit update policy is making me pissed off that company.... I think my next phone will be oneplus one follower....or nexus ...

Bad news for the Note 4 port..
Stop been so negative. This is good news. Means we will get 5.0 even quicker. It's a very good move. Think I'll keep my note 3 now.
Dont write this on public site - Samsung may read that and dont upgrade N3 at all (then you must buy N4) I think its good move - i can wait for new android - my N3 is working fine.
I had n2, now n3 and i will buy n4 when price will a little bit lower.
note 3 will get 5.0 for sure. based on 18 months support. most ppl won't upgrade every year. note 4 is mostly for note 2 users.

2-3 is a bit too optimistic. 6 months is my wild guess. as the spen apps testing.
i think its a good move from Samsung to update the Note3 with Android 5 , this shows that ppl who buy a Samsung device ( flagship ) dont have to worry that their device would be outdated after a year and that it is a good investment.
Maybe they release that before I buy a new phone
Never Samsung again.
Maybe Huewai or Nexus.
Be glad. If we'd gotten 4.4.4,we would not have gotten 5.0.(as we already had one major upgrade, and we only get two in total.)
Oh, and normally I'm not this childish, but right now I just can't help it.
I told you so.

You could now find Galaxy S7 edge running Android 7.0 on Geekbench listings.

Would Samsung be able to release the Nougat update before the end of this month?
Even if not, next month is a sure Nougat release month for our S7.

I really believe we could see way faster update this time around.
As the log article lays it out, some Samsung employee said the Note 7 Nougat update would come 2-3 months after its launch, and given that Galaxy S7 ad S7 Edge would get it before the Note 7, it should be due in October. And seeing them devices at Geekbench, I feel very positive.
This year, even a company like Huawei has a Nougat firmware leak for its P9, even before the Nougat OTA rolled out for Nexus devices. Google has definitely shared the Nougat code with major OEMs earlier than usual, I think.
HTC too has upped with game, promising updates for OneA9, OneM9 and HTC 10, before the end of this -- the special thing about the announcement being 'all carriers included' in the 31st December timeline.
So, I'm hoping Samsung is able enough!
What do you say?
I know Google has lately been both publicly and privately "shaming" and aggressively encouraging OEMs and carriers to speed up their update process. This relationship started with more timely security updates and from what I've read is translating over to faster system updates.
I believe unlocked versions will see 7.0 by mid October, and carrier versions by mid November.

Hahahahahaha LOL!!!!!!!!
Both the phones and android os have matured a lot these days; S7 edge with marshmallow on it is already near perfect; I myself don't get excited for the updates as often in the old days; have not even rooted this phone and Rom flashing is not something I'm doing a lot; so I prefer to wait for a polished nougat Rom instead of a rushed one.
Edit: For about ten years I've changed my phone every year as a power user, now for the first time I've been using this device for about five months and am quite happy about it; I'm not planning to change it until the end of twenty four months period if something with a big development does not come.

No OEM have EVER released it less than 3 months before Nexus and Samsung is not known for being faster either. When did we get Marsmallow on last years flagships? Q1/Q2.. March, right?

LG put Lollipop and Marshmallow just days/ a few weeks after nexus on G3 and G4 last year/the year before. So it's possible but samsung won't do it cause they don't need to hurry. See what it did to the note 7 rushing it on the market just to be there a few weeks before apple...
I'm 100% sure that we'll see update in february, just like this year. It's Samsung after all, don't forget it.
Good hope it fixes the stupid android os drain. In back on the og firmware of my s7 edge APB5 as it gives best performance and battery life. Samsung better not f up android 7.0

Even if we get Nougat before the end of the year, it wouldn't surprise me if Samsung gave us 7.0 instead of the more timely 7.1 update.
