I was bored so I went to mall to check out new galaxy nexus and ran Antutu benchmark on a few phones.
I'm uploading the pics here:
This is the comparison between our phone and galaxy nexus:

And this is our phone on Icscrewed at 1.6 GHz.
I'm surprised that nitro hd performed so good!
I know these benchmark do not mean a lot but they definitely reflect something.

Wow man! Your miui scores are pretty amazing.
Galaxy nexus is amazing phone. The interface looks amazing. I couldn't not want it right away at store. Wish they release the att version soon.

Thanks! I really want a Nexus, such a great phone. 4G tested 10mbps in Tampa, FL. After 20hrs with her 4G turned off she was only at 39% battery with heavy usage. I want my girlfriends phone, that sucks to say.

Yes mainly because of this, and I've been using one for about two days now, I love the phone and the screen.

so in other words only because of that deal. so tech for tech the Nexus isnt really worth it, I mean thats how i feel, am I wrong?

After being able to use it for two days, I mean my girlfriend has it so I have unlimited use of it, I would say I want to wait and see how ICS looks on our phones first before I "jump ship". Honestly I still feel like my display is better and the Galaxy Nexus is a big phone in my hand. So yes in other words it's only because of that deal.
Side note, the camera on the Galaxy Nexus isn't great at all compared to our phones. We took pictures of the same thing last night, my camera obviously had crazy better detail to the picture, she was sad. But the zero shutter lag is epic. So with ICS on our phones, I don't know if there will be a phone out that I will like better imo.

This echos how I feel exactly, already with the ROMs and kernels I have on my SGS2 i wouldnt trade it when either CM9 or ICS arrives I as well think nothing until the SGS3 will touch it
I don't understand how you got scores that high? What is MUIU? I had 4.0.3 Code's rom and Franco's kernel and only scored in the 4000's, which upset me. I recently wiped and put on Trinity's kernel with AOKP and got 6250. Anything I can tweak? I'm not seeing scores in the 7000 range.

I would just like to add my 2 cents. I have compared my gs2 side by side with a verizon gnex and can safely say I would rather have my phone. The colors and overall picture quality of the screen is better on the gs2 and the gs2 is faster. I also did a boot test to see which phone booted up quicker and ours won by a long shot and we have the unfair advantage of running gingerbread. Just wait till we get ics. That is one advantage it has over our phones. the other being how fast it is able to snap pictures. that thing can fire off some pictures.

Miui + siyah kernel + 1400 = 7000+ for me
Illusion rom can net you 7000+ as well (what I'm running now, also why it shows 9100)
I wouldn't trade my phone for a Gnex. There really is no gain for me. I prefer the look of the i777 anyway.

Yeah theres not much of a comparison when you know what you're doing. This is a first bench off of my new rom. I took an I9100 ICS rom and made it work for my I777 device with some file swaps/tweaks from an I777 rom. Took a few different "versions" to get it right but....yes EVERYTHING works with no bugs. It actually works better than the older ICS rom that was designed for the I777. I expect to hit mid 8000's with a few more tweaks, maybe much higher.
What do you mean everything works? Are you saying phone works? As in calls.

I went into at&t today planning to purchase the S2 but the guy in front of me bought the last one so i went with the skyrocket in white. I love the screen size and the color and visual voicemail (i hate Google voice sorry) and im not really noticing any lag etc and the data is definitely faster than my iphone 4s. My area is nowhere near getting lte so thats not a concern.. I want ics as quickly as possible so my question is will the skyrocket or sgs2 more likely get ics first and is there anything im really missing with the skyrocket vs the sgs2? Thanks in advance guys.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
the gs2(att) will get it first because its close to the original GS2, skyrocket doesnt really have a widely avaliable model out.
The gs2 will more than likely have it before the skyrocket due to the ability to port from the Int'l GS2 and support from CM....and the only thing your missing between the skyrocket and gs2 is the skyrocket sucks
There are already several people that have ICS running (partially) on the i777. It will be a long time before the skyrocket see that.
But, at least you have 30 days to let them get one in stock.

So you bought the iPhone 4s and didn't like it. So you took it back which cost $35 and upgraded to the skyrocket? I'm sorry but the only phone I would have other than the 4s is the sgs2. I had the skyrocket and let me tell you, in about a week you'll regret that swap. I had the skyrocket and totally hated it. They throttle lte, the resolution is a joke, the battery(don't get me started). Anyway sgs2 will get ics first IMO. I have the sgs2 now and I'm good for a while.

did the skyrocket kill your dog, rape your mom and **** on your cheerios? wtf?
i have seen some lame arguments 'against' it that dont mean anything. since i have both of them and use them side by side, i can honestly say that the only differences are with the thickness of the device. running touchwiz rom on both at the same time (obviously, not stock) feels the same. they both react the same as an OS, they both have the same OS features. One has LTE and the other is faster in benchmarks.....woohoo, i can run friggin benchmarks all day long and it doesnt mean anything. LTE allows me to view the web faster, OGGS2 allows me the freedom of tons of mods/development already done for the device.
at the end of the day, they are both good devices and haters gotta stop hatin so hard. save your hatred for Apple fanbois...lol
I miss my note I am using my skyrocket untill I get another I recently upgraded to ics and have been getting at least a 3800 where as my brother who had a note is running ics gets no higher then 3200 just wondering is the skyrocket getting a higher score
It's all about real life use. I was on the t989 before and no complaints since the switch.

The note has almost twice the resolution as the skyrocket with the same chipset. So the note takes more processing power to push such a big screen its like 800x480 compared to 1280x800 on the note...
QUADRANT IS CRAP!
You can run it a million times and get a different number every time.
plus it's easily effed with, i can build you a ROM that will score OVER 9000!!! In quadrant, it'll also run outside of quadrant like absolute and complete garbage.
Stop number obsessing and get a feel for REAL WORLD PERFORMANCE cause that is all that matters.
That is strange. my quadrant score seems better on ICS:

Same chipset. Snapdragon s3 in both device. One has to power a 1280x800 resolution and the other 800x400. Its obvious its gonna have a higher quadrant score. But like everyone else says...quadrants are just numbers and not noticeable in real life usage. The snapdragons are not known for good quadrant scores. Yet the devices run great. Quadrants are similar to specs on a phone...not higher the better.

Exactly! very well said.
Quadrant isn't a great app to gauge performance. But, out of curiosity, I ran it and got a score of 3658. I'm perfectly happy with this score, because I don't really do anything intensive with my Note. Try not to let a quadrant score dictate the power of your Note. It's plenty powerful, and should easily handle anything you throw at it.

I was going to start a thread on this too. Out of curiosity I had my did install and run quadrant on his stock sII to compare to my note running saurom, debloated, etc. His score was about 50 higher then mine. But then I realized I didn't care.
What will it take for people with Samsung phones to stop checking their performance with quadrant tests? They were never designed for Samsung phones. If ur phone is not performing good u will know it. If u need a quadrant test to prove to urself these phones are good u need a phone named after a fruit.

I laughed. Hard.
I just got offered a HTC rezound and a ps3 with mw3 that has the elite subscription, and I was wondering how good this deal is? how's the battery life and the roms? Ics? Do I have to have a-off for rooms cause I don't wanna do that wire trick..
I have the nexus and my dad has the rezound. I honestly wouldn't switch. The battery life is definitely better on the nexus especially in standby. The rezound seems to drain even when your not doing anything. It also looks like the rezound isn't getting aosp anytime soon. Both are nice phones but the nexus is truely in a whole different league especially if your into flashing roms. Also the TI omap > snapdragon s3 in both speed and for how easy it is to develop. The OMAP is probably one of the most open chips there is.
I recommend flashing winner00's cm9 kang nightly with franco's kernel if you haven't already. By far my favorite rom and much better than vanilla cm9 in my opinion. Better stability and speed.
The wire trick for the rezound isn't bad though. I got it second try on my dads rezound.

I have both phones. The battery life is the exact same for me on both phones. You don't have to s-off to flash roms for the Rez. It's more of a matter of taste. If you like stock aosp, keep the nex. If you don't mind sense, it's a good deal that you've been offered. The Rezound is the better device overall, though.
Wait, you get a rezound and a ps3 for your Gnex? I'd definitely jump on that deal. In fact, I'd probably trade a Gnex for a rezound period. It's a great phone, and AOKP is coming soon that will open up other AOSP based roms. And until then, the Sense 4 roms are really good, and if you really dislike Sense there are some senseless options. I never really like the Gnex, besides the variety of roms they have. Battery life is not great, but comparable to the Gnex. Getting better with each new ICS leak. Heat can also be an issue, but I'm not experiencing any trouble on the new leak.
And you'll probably want to get S-off. Not necessary, but it's very helpful. The wire trick is not difficult at all, and I don't think anyone who has done it (and LOTS of people have) has bricked their phone.

To answer your question that's a good offer... Nexus is better for development obviously, but the rezound is getting there and is better in pretty much every other way. My battery life on mine is much better than on my friends nexus... And here in my house I have almost full 4G where as he only has 3G... His bad. He also complains that he can't turn his brightness low to save battery because his screen looks like total crap when it does. And he's right. His camera doesn't hold a candle to this one either. I spent an hour taking pictures with both of them because I was bored the other day..Yea... the camera on it is a joke if you want a descent picture. Seriously cameras on my old HTC phones produce a better picture... Oh also, data over phone calls.. I can do it. He can't. But Idk if the nexus can actually do that or not. His signal was kind of weak here in some places of the house.
In the end its your choice...

It may not have the best battery, but I'd flash the new Team Pokemon rom when they update it tonight. Kernel is included, and there really aren't any other options for Sense 4, besides maybe Sebastian's.
I'd RUU to the latest leak for better performance / battery. If you already have 3.14 you're already there though

Unless you're having issues for some reason, I'd definitely stay on it. It's by far the best ICS leak. I'm having much cooler temperatures and better battery life than on all previous updates, including the GB ota

i think if you were to ask this question in the gnex forum you'd get a totally different answer, of course.

To answer your question that's a good offer... Nexus is better for development obviously, but the rezound is getting there and is better in pretty much every other way. My battery life on mine is much better than on my friends nexus... And here in my house I have almost full 4G where as he only has 3G... His bad. He also complains that he can't turn his brightness low to save battery because his screen looks like total crap when it does. And he's right. His camera doesn't hold a candle to this one either. I spent an hour taking pictures with both of them because I was bored the other day..Yea... the camera on it is a joke if you want a descent picture. Seriously cameras on my old HTC phones produce a better picture... Oh also, data over phone calls.. I can do it. He can't. But Idk if the nexus can actually do that or not. His signal was kind of weak here in some places of the house.
In the end its your choice...

if his screen is bad when turned down, then it's defective and should be returned.
also, when you have 4g, having bars has nothing to do with your 4g signal. the rezound does have a more solid radio, but if he had 3g and you had 4g, you probably had a weakish 4g signal. the signal bars are for 3g whether you're in 4g mode or not. it's a bit of misdirection, really.
I bought a Nexus too!
If I like it, I'll stay around here for awhile and keep the Rezound awhile because I do like it and I hate to f*ck you guys over.
If I hate it, I'll resell it and be back.
Why aren't people going for the newer/better GSlll ??

Buying a banned phone?!?!
You have got to be kidding me. Lol another great person about to leave. This phone is great and I've never been happier with a phone purchase but all these people leaving is really starting to make me hate this phone. I'm so close to adding a line to my plan just to upgrade to a nexus.

I'm debating on the s3 but heard it scratches like crazy. I couldn't deal with nex's radios cause my reception in my area is bad as it is

Cause TW is garbage. Plus Sammy = slower than balls w/ updates. To me the S4/Adreno 225 isn't that huge of a boost to warrant being stuck on a carrier controlled device. Yeah they say it does better in benches but I could care less. Tried my friends AT&t OneX and it was laggy to the max.
Really hate to see you leave, as i currently use your ROM, and its amazing. I have had this phone for only 3months, and was looking like there was hope for good developers on it, and now everyone's bailing out for the S3/Nexus. :-( guess I need to buckle down and learn to create ROMs myself.

If the nexus had a usable camera that didnt look like a disposable, i'd have gotten one too.

The Nexus camera isn't that bad, still gets the job done nicely.

+1, plus if I really need to take good pictures, I'll bring my real camera. The Nexus is much better than I expected.

Not gonna lie, moving to the Nexus was worth it on so many levels, really reminded me of how badly skinned Android sucks. Stock GNex blew away any custom ROM here, no offense devs.
Then there's Jelly Bean.....

Whats good enough for you is not for me. My brother has a nexus since day 1, the camera is essentially unusable, especially under low light conditions. Its not even considerable for taking any kind of pictures worth saving. The rezound camera is top tier in comparison. And i snap a ton of pics. If this werent the case, im sure i'd be very pleased with the nexus, but the camera is a deal breaker.

Another Nexus vs Rezound thread go!
I just think its funny, the power of marketing can pull people off a superior phone in terms of hardware just by hyping up an inferior phone and allowing more wide open software development. .........but when we get source what will be the difference? I dunno guys, I'm pretty happy with this phone and I really don't like these goodbye forums. It gives the illusion that something is wrong with the rezound and further perpetuates the hype and needs to stop.

Don't think they're implying there's anything wrong with the phone. But everyone knows there's something wrong w/ the Rezound's community/forums. That + dying development is imo pretty legit reasons for wanting to change phones. Hard to pass up the Jelly Bean!.

There is something wrong with the rezound, the community for it is dead and it doesnt look good at all for the future of the phone. Most people who are on XDA want to own a phone with a strong community, Rezound is furthest from it. I am waiting for the Note 2 and im done with the rezound at that point.
Thanks for the heads up. You've contributed a lot to the Rezound community.

Im thinking about taking my dna back for the note 2. Went by the verizon store and was running some bench marks to get a feel for it. It was scoring 14000 in anutu, and the 3d test was running 35fps tops, could it just be that phone? My old s3 scores 11400.... It just seemed extremely weird that the mali 400 was scoring that damn low. Now i didnt look much into what the software version was but can anyone comment on 3d performance? Wildblood etc?

Dude, don't worry about synthetic benchmarks. The Note 2 simply feels faster than the DNA.
I had the DNA for a week and exchanged it for a Note 2 and haven't looked back since. I just couldn't stand the heavy scrolling and slow animations when scrolling home screens on the DNA.
Do it, you won't be disappointed.

Ended up getting one and the damn rep did the OTA locking down the bootloader. But even on stock its much smoother and battery life cant even compare.

Why don't you go and exchange it for another one and don't let them update your phone

Since i swapped the dna for the note within 14 days they said i cant exchange it again. So hoping they get this bootloader unlocked soon

Aww that sux, but good job on getting the phone! It's just simply a better phone imo. The only thing the DNA had going for it was the screen and that's basically it.

Benchmarks or no benchmarks.... Take the DNA back for the Note 2...lol. This device is that damn good.

I messed with an HTC Rezound for some time but I couldn't stand it. Htc devices look nice but honestly I don't like the feel of them or the functionality of them. I hate HTC sense with a passion. It's so bloated and laggy yet so basic.

Touchwiz is more bloated than Sense. By about 1gb, in fact.

Not sure why you're using size as the determiner but I find tw to be much more functional than sense.

I liked the dna, it was a decent phone but for how i use my phone it just wasnt working out and the note 2 was the only other quad core option. Im happy with it so far. I just wish that stupid arse rep hadnt done the ota, love me some cm10.1

I have both phones right now and the DNA is most likely getting sold! I did buy the Note 2 first though but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with the DNA and while it is a very nice phone it is just not as smooth as the Note 2 is... I have the DNA on a stock kernel because the only kernel that is available that overclocks the DNA is waaay unstable but they did just drop a VERY nice rom for it over there (ViperDNA) which is one of the most customizable roms I have ever used on a phone. The DNA really has nothing on the Note 2! Yes, the screen is beautiful!! But I think that is why it lags like it does...? (pushing all those pixels) As far as Touchwiz over Sense... I like them both but Samsung has just got them beat right now (everyone for that matter)! If Samsung made phones that were not ALL plastic that would be my wet dream. If you don't want a Note 2 cause it's too large then get a DNA but if you can handle the BEAST then you have one of the best phones, if not the best, that you can get!
And having owned both phones the whole benchmark thing means NOTHING! It's real world use and that's where the Note 2 will win every time!
As far as the difference between any version of sense or touchwiz, I'll take tw any day. Love me some tw. I just wish theyd make a tw rom thats compatible with theme chooser.
