Hi!
I am looking for a new phone for my sister (27), she doesn't really needs a lot from it, so I was looking for something around 200-350$.
I was thinking about getting her a Motorola Defy+ , shes working at an hospital so the extra protection can be a nice benefit (not must).
I would love to get some opinions
thanks ahead.
You can get here in the forum Galaxy Nexus for that price or s2
I would say the s2.

I think its the best phone he can get right?
I would rather say go for xperia ray . Defy and ray are similar in price but xperia ray is much better .
Check the comparison between those two over here :
http://geekaphone.com/compare/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-ray-vs-Motorola-DEFY
Or if you want to shell some more amount of money you can buy and galaxy s , galaxy s2 or google nexus .
Hope this helps
With your budget , I guess GS2 is the best for you :good:
As someone said before defy<Ray<S2
But i don't know prices in the US. I saw in internet that there are refurbished mobiles at really good price for us customers. I wanted to buy one but they don't send to Spain.
Eitherwise if you can go for the galaxy S2
I would think s2, I have one and I love it.

Dude the Motorola Defy is lag as hell! do NOT buy it! Something cheap and good could be the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus, cheap and has a very nice performance for the hardware it has, very impresive if you ask me!
Samsung Galaxy SII could be an option if your sister likes to take pictures and likes to play high video quality games on her phone and do many things at the same time.
Cheers! :good:
S2 ... or HTC One S
So yes you can buy a Galaxy S 2 for 200/250 dollars I think, but also a One S of second hand ?
Thanks everybody! you really helped me out here
based on the many opinions I am going to get the GS2 for her
hope she will like it Thanks again!

One of reasons for choosing Edge+ this year is the VR Headset that was incompatible with my last Note line. Usually Samsung releases the VR along or right after the release of Note line. I'm really hoping they would release it in their next event in September and Edge+ should be supported (unlike Note Edge) since S6 Edge was also supported.
Can't really wait for it to come out. Any of you looking forward to get your hands on it too ?
When i brought the edge plus, this is exactly what i was thinking. I am impaitently waiting for the VR great, couldnt use it with the note 3. But hopefully it comes around for the edge+
I'm also in the queue. Waiting for it eagerly...
I'm waiting for it too. I was hoping to see good news in this thread. Rumor is that it will be unveiled at IFA this month.
Come on IFA

Hate to put a damper on it .but they aren't going to release a vr for these phones. A new phone will be launched for vr support called the Samsung O series. In October at the oculus event.

I went to a VR meet up and heard the same thing. The Samsung O series will be announced alone side an update VR headset. I was bummed since I bought the Edge+ but the guy said it may not be available for purchase until April/May. That gave me a slight peace of mind, I couldn't hold off buying a phone until then anyway. This is just something I was told, it did not come from a Samsung rep, just a guy that was showcasing VR tech.
Finally.. It's out! Was really looking forward to this. And at $99, it's a steal...

This looks awesome, and for the price it's great.

Just promises for now. Oculus has shown this off at their Developer Conference and it's real for sure. I think I read somewhere that it'll come out in Nov. Gear VR is one of the reasons for buying a Samsung Flagship for such a high price.
Here, read this. Will make you feel reassured.
Never tried Gear VR before. Can you even connect them to your pc or PS4 or are they just only for smartphone?

There are ways to simulate PC games on your phone. So, basically you would be tied up with a phone on your face while playing a game on your PC. However, both needs solid configuration for this to work nicely.

Thanks for the info. I will jump onto this as soon as it arrives. I am pretty much unsatisfied with the accessory line up of edge plus. Not even a decent tempered glass screen protector. But oculus is promising.

So would I...
I read somewhere (dont remember exactly where, but it was on reddit), that the newest version of gear VR, the one colored black with interchangeable USB ports for Note 7, works and fits the note 4 out of the box, without using a dremel to make it fit.
Do anyone have tested it and can confirm?
I'd like to know if this is indeed true. As I'm seriously considering getting a Gear VR Innovator Edition for my N910C. If anybody knows if the new Gear VR actually fits the Note 4 please tell us?

How does it compare with Cardboard? I heard it's really way much better. Do you get sick wearing it too long? Is watching movies enjoyable with it? Can you watch mkv videos with subtitles (Anime) with it? I really want to buy one but with my experience with cardboard, I'm a bit hesitant.

Awesome! Could you post pictures of your Note 4 in the New Gear VR so we can get a look at it? Also does it run good on the new Gear VR? Were you prompted to download and install the Oculus VR app for your Note 4 (without the Oculus VR app installed) after you connected it to your Gear VR?
There is a number of pictures of the new VR with a Note 4 in this thread

I ordered one today. I think Samsung is way better if you are looking for a great phone with good unique design and camera performance. I'm not saying OP5 is a bad device but for 33k I think OP5 is not a great value for the money device but at 29k SGS7 is a Catch. I got it at 21.7k after exchange and using a SBI card. Which is really great.
Can I ask why no one is discussing the new watches?
I have searched and cannot find a thread for this or a dedicated new forum page.
I am probably just being dumb but if there is such a thread could someone kindly direct me to it.
Thanks.

Thanks, I have seen thy thread.
Also I think I have seen every single you tube on this watch (twice over) I especially liked the first unboxings by Tim Schofield which came out yesterday.
I am really excited for this watch (even though I have the S3 Frontier)
Mine arrives on 6th September. Fingers crossed for early deliveries!

Why?
Is bixby and 100 mah battery worth 350 euro? And the removal of MST?
I accept the upgrade is not massive but I was always torn between the S3 Classic or Frontier and I believe that this is a perfect blend of the two. So essentially it it just aesthetics for me.
I got the Frontier second hand for £180 and Samsung are giving me £100 trade in so I think overall it is a reasonable price to pay.
Also the mst is totally irrelevant to me as I never use my watch for payment, always happy to just use my phone.
I am interested on those who are receiving theirs today in the USA. Please let us have your reviews.

For me the fact that I can go swimming with it now is worth the upgrade. I didn't use MST on my Gear S3 anyways. I ordered from BestBuy and I got an email I can pick it up today. So will grab it on my way home from work.

Ooh, lucky you... Very interested to hear your opinions when you have it. Please let me know what you think of the screen and also the speaker quantity.
Enjoy!

Can you test whatsapp? Change something or is still like s3? You can use bixby for send new WhatsApp message ?
Well so far I'm not impressed. Its been a little over 24 hours of light use and my battery is at 75%. The galaxy app says 2 days 12 hrs left, so that would put the battery life somewhere around 3 and 1/2 days about 1 1/2 days shorter then they claim (5 days). The Bixby app is horrible, if I ask the weather or a question it takes a very long time to respond compared to the S-Voice of S3, at one point it even froze. The daily briefing feature is kinda cool but I assume the S3 will get this in an update. Anyways as it stands now not sure it was worth the upgrade.
Oh, I thought nobody received the "new" watch...

I upgraded from the LTE Gear S2. This was a huge upgrade for me in my opinion. I didn't use Samsung Pay on the S2 because it didn't have MST so I'm not really missing anything. I love the battery life of this watch. My old S2 barely made it through a work day. The one thing I miss from the S2 is the Timer app. I used it when cooking. There is no app like it on the Galaxy Watch.
I also would like to see the SmartThings integration with the watch. The Samsung ad shows this, but no app on the watch. I have lots of lights and other items that would be nice to control on the watch. I hope that this will be a new app that gets pushed out with an upgrade.
Overall, I love the new Galaxy Watch.

For some reason the timer was not on the S3 either but it is an available app to download.

Yep I'm in the US. The Timer App and the Stop watch app have to be manually downloaded like the S3. Why those 2 aren't on by default is beyond me.

^this.
I waited to see the new Galaxy Watch with all the rumors about it but once it was announced with a bigger battery at the expense of MST i just bought the S3 Frontier 2 days later for $179 new from Best Buy (had them price match). I was looking at the S3 Frontier for 3 reasons, battery life, MST, and bezel/look. I'm getting 3-4 days on a charge so don't need more battery at the expense of MST and to get this look it's in a smaller form factor so this made no sense to spend $350 over the $179 price
I mean, just look at this video, everything is the same, the gear wearable app looks the same, RAM is the same, the speed/performance is the same. TLDR: If you are a pro swimmer then get the galaxy watch, thats it.

I finally found the app. Not sure why it was showing up when I was searching for the app Timer

fyi, got a firmware update this morning. R800XXU1BRH3 - Improved Samsung Health Experience, Improved device stability.
Now the watch has been released surely there should be a dedicated page for this on XDA? Have I missed it somehow?
Is interest in this watch so small?
Can't wait for the release in the UK.
