I can't, i have to chose from one of these.
But thanks for the reply.
i dont want to start new topic so i will ask here.
I want to buy new phone.Max price limit is 300e.
I m choosing between desire s, nexus s or maybe desire.
sure all of them have great screen, however i am little bit worried about nexus s because it doesnt have gorrila glass. so i dont put my phone in pocket with keys but you never known how can it be scratched. so is the glass of nexus hard to scratch like gorrila glass or not? and if not will screen protector help in gorrila glass way?
second demand are roms. i like miui rom from screens and i read that ics miui was released today for nexus s so its pro for nexus. so i need just these two roms, ics and miui.

s2 is a better value for money...rest its ur bucks...
its better to take htc 1 x. this device s3 is highly over priced idiot samsung.
i will stick to dual cores for now as quad core is not worth buying now.
thats my view
note and note 2 are toooo big

HAHA Processor frequency and number of cores don't mean higher performance. A good processor needs a good architecture. In this case, Samsung Exynos Quad is definitely better than Nvidia Tegra 3.
In my opinion, don't get a quad core smartphone this year. As they're only with 2 additional same level ARM-A9 in the chip. I would recommend you to get the Snapdragon S4 powered smartphone. As it has 2 ARM-A15 processors inside. One A15's performance is actually stronger than two A9. The idea smartphone in this year should be Sony Xperia GX or HTC One S with the HD screen missing but other than that, One S is awesome.

Greetings! First of all sorry for my bad english.
I'm watching this forums for some time but I finally made an account because I need some advice.
I have Galaxy Ace at the moment and I'm in a search for a new android one.
So i got stuck on Xperia S, Galaxy S2 or something 3rd
And I'm not sure if galaxy S2 is still worth buying? Is there any better dual core andorid?
Quad core is just to much at the moment for me and I don't see any reason to get one.
I found HTC one S is a great phone but it's to costly for me and I really don't like HTC phones.
Anybody?
Best dual core android at the moment? Or at least best for its value
The galaxy S II is still a great phone. Depending who your service provider is you could maybe even get some other phones, but the s2 is amazing. It is one of the most durable phones, even though it does feel cheap. It will come with touchwiz so I suggest you put a custom rom on it. The battery life is pretty nice on it. The screen is nice, large and bright. The phone is very nice, with its biggest downfall being it feels rather cheap, but still a trustworthy phone.

Exhibit A.
buy SGS2 i think is the best 2-core mobile on market
Hello.
So, Yeah. I'm going to get something new.
After I had unfortunate accident when my Droid RAZR broke in my pocket without any crash, I'm receiving new one for warranty and decide to change something, because I hate when phone breaks without reason
I live in Poland, so I need something that reach europe.
What I need... Specs comparable with RAZR (CPU and RAM. Some nice GPU would also be nice), Screen at least same quality as it and overall nice quality.
It would be also welcome to be easily moddable with decent amount of Custom ROMs for it. Official/Unofficial CM support is also welcome.
And one more thing. No SGS2. I'm tired of it.
So. Any propositions?
Thanks in advance!
Galaxy S II is old, why would anyone suggest it with the Galaxy S III is out? If you're tired of Samsung then go for an HTC One X. If not, the Samsung Galaxy S III is waiting to love you. I'd suggest a Nexus but you seem to be pretty content with rooting and ROMs so I guess it isn't necessary.
How about Galaxy Note 2? Supposed to be announced at end of month

If you like rooting and roming, go with the Nexus. Otherwise, Galaxy S III or One X.
Ooh, go for the Xperia gx. Actually, scratch that. I don't think it's available in Europe yet... maybe the acro s... damn I'm not really sure when it comes to Europe.
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app
go for the one X, but rooting it might be a bit difficult, if so, then go with a nexus!
I would suggest a Galaxy Nexus. Nexus devices always get the official updates first and will be supported for a long time (for example: Nexus S got JellyBean, Galaxy S which has almost the same hardware has not even gotten official ICS...)
Get Galaxy Note 2. It will be released in few days.
Galaxy s3 is an awesome choice too.
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S3 T999
The nexus s is very close in spec to your RAZR. The camera isn't as nice, but fantastic device none the less. You can get them cheap right now too.
The SGS3 is an incredible device. It blows away the RAZR in performance from every angle.

If you can get a Galaxy S III go for it because Samsung just came out with the official jelly bean OTA , otherwise Galaxy Nexus ftw...
The Galaxy Nexus does not have a gorilla glass display , only a scratch resistant one...I haven't really tested mine by putting it in my pocket with my keys lol, but If you get a decent screen protector you won't have any problems...
Gorilla Glass is a big plus , but its a small price to pay for the software experience you're getting out of this phone...Pure AOSP Android experience , you will get the latest updates FIRST, and not have to wait like with the SIII for example...or any other phone for that matter...
Plus its a pretty powerful phone..well worth its money right now if you don't care about the mediocre camera...(which I personally think is fine...1080p video at 30fps , with decent lighting it records great... Photos are OK as well so...)
OR if you're good at waiting you can wait for the new nexus to come out that might have a GG display, but Google hasn't even announced it officially yet so...

Go for S3! There won't be S4 anytime soon, so... There won't be a better phone any time soon, so, until then S3 will be the best phone in the world!! (Just like the S2, two years in a row!)

If u have a galaxy s2 . i dont think u should upgrade to galaxy s3
because there isnt that many new feature in it that is worth the upgrade
the galaxy s2 is a great phone and it will suit your needs for another year
so stick with s2 till s4
trust me i had s2 and i went for s3 and i didnt find that many new stuff that was worth the upgrade
The main improvements over the S2 for me are much better screen, call quality (clarity and no echo), hugely improved audio (even better than S1 thanks to siyah audio tweaks) and much much better battery life. Plus an improvement in looks IMO.

Keep the s2. Best phone with minor things missing which can be ported from s3.

I've had my S3 for 2 days now having upgraded from S2 and to be honest so far I think my S2 was better. I was running wajk miui on my S2 and it was great. running stock on the S3 at the moment but i'm finding lots of little bugs. motion to put your hand over the screen to stop media doesn't work, s-voice is pretty crap and it doesn't seem anywhere near as fast as my S2.
Having said all that I'm going to persevere with it and try different roms til I find one that makes it run much better.

Personally, right now if I had the choice of SGS3 and Note 2 I'd go for the note. Faster CPU and more RAM, bigger screen, battery and S-Pen.
Wait for the Galaxy Note 2 if you can put up with the huge screen (in some cases it's the bigger the better but that screen is a little too big for my liking)

Nexus S is about $250 on ebay?
Best bet to get a high specced phone that cheap would be a minor chinese branded phone. (Xiaomi MI-One)
Or maybe go for a second hand Seansation XE.

Lulz. Just because both got similar name and one of it sucks doesnt mean the other one sucks too. The original ace uses ancient 800mhz armv6 cpu and adreno200. Ace 2 got dualcore 800mhz armv7 cpu and mali400 gpu. Its like comparing a dinosaur with an ufo.
