just check the threads of both the phones( Htc one X and galaxy s3) and see peoples views on the same and then u can decide for urself

Oh yeah. Why not buy both ?

Mate seriously wrong FORUM... Ask it in S3 or One X thread.. Ppl here uses S2 so i would recommend u to buy another S2...

thanx for another option actually have some memory issues due to a traffic accident sorry

Or buy another S2 to make this topic relevant in this forum

I would say s3 just upgraded from s2 also used hox s3 would be better but again that's my choice go to a shop and try running both

bought s3 well not much of a difference apart from screen battery and some software changes. Close the thread please

The Galaxy S2 is as fast as the S3 at stock speeds and as fast or faster than the HTC One X if overclocked scoring around 5000 in quadrant, I think the S2 is a better phone than the other two.

Galaxy S2 is the best choice

s3 best of them

if u like the taste of sense 4.0 then go for the ONE X
in my opinion the S3 is better because both have the same HW specs but samsung devices are more customizable than HTC ones

Best look if you love sense: HTC One X
Best hardware: SGSIII
Best software: Galaxy Nexus/Nexus 7
It all depends on what you prefer, looks, awesome hardware for gaming and such, or best software with the quickest updates to the latest Android version

Htc One X is not that great from,i prefer s2 to one x and i think one S better in Htc's ,S2 still a realy nice device,super quick with Jelly bean and cheaper now but if money is no object,get an S3

[Q] beginner android phone, galaxy ace or wildfire s, or another one?

hey guys,
i'm currently doing some research for the 14 y/o brother of a friend, whose parents have just allowed him to get a smart phone.
i only ever bought nexus devices and would recommend him the nexus s, but unfortunately his limit is ~180 euro and the nexus s is ~270 euro here in germany. thus i need some advice.
he can't decide between the galaxy ace and the wildfire s. which one would you pick? i'm looking for things like easily unlockable bootloader, stock android and cyanogenmod support. but those things seem to only be found in older, cheaper devices.
what would you say has the best bang of the buck and is future proof and could possibly get cyanogenmod support?
thanks,
x
I would go for the galaxy ace because it has more development.
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium
yup, that's my observation so far. there's even an unofficial cm7 port for it.
until i can come up w/ an official supported device in the price class, i'm gonna tell him to go for the ace, or if possible pay 100 bucks more for the nexus s.
Yeh galaxy ace if you want to root it, wildfire s has not been cracked open yet so has very little support

galaxy ace..
samsung updates their firmware fast compare to htc..
I would go with ace.
However i found only one issue where you will need to remove the battery to get it back to work. When you enable the wifi and leave the phone idle for a long time, the screen goes blank and none of the button seems to work. You will have to pull the battery to fix it.
Lol looks like someone prefers form over function.

I was just saying that not any samsung phone could "fit the bill" .
Galaxy Ace for sure. It has more support, plus, he's 14, I'm sure he and his friends will care about the looks a lot. Teenagers are very judgmental really.

yup, i agree with neko, should look at the development community. if there is more and active development for s2, then go for it if u have the money for it.
the more active the community the more u can get from ur phone. like our optimus one!
imho, mine look like much smoother in scrolling compared to stock sgs2 of my friend. but of course, interms of hardware and size....hush....

Well their CPUs are different, and I always feel that Qualcomm's CPUs are slower than they should be.
Am going for htc .....becoz galaxy is every where,all have galaxy only differnce is the size...... and sensation development is also good but may not good as much as s2 ....
But these reasons dont make 6000rs more worth for s2 unfortunatly...
Where sensation gaves qHD and mettalic design
S2 of course.
kind regards

phone for phone I prefer the experience on the Sensation, however everyone says S2.
I guarantee you that one week after your purchase you will be like, aww I want the other one! Its always the same!
To be honest though its personal preference at the end of the day, your the one using it!

Tested both of them, Sensation is a bit slower imho
I know sensation is slower may be it will be the reason of 6000rs (120$) less....
Also by using custom rom as our phone it may be flying..

[Q] Which phone should i go for?

Hello everyone!
I wanted to buy a new phone but i am a lil bit confused. I like to play HD games on my phone, surf internet, listen music,take pictures and a GOOD battery life. Here's the list of phones in which i m confused:-
1. HTC One X
2. Sony Xperia S
3. HTC One S
4. LG Lucid 4G
Which of the above phone should i go for?
Please help me out!!
It depends on what you want out of a phone. For example if you have giant hands you'll probably want a note. If your not a giant but still want a big screen, Galaxy Nexus. I have a Nexus and I'm amazingly happy with it and the community around it. Saying this the one X has had amazing reviews and has a quad core. Hopefully this enlightened you some what.
Edit: I don't personally like xperia phones and the software they come with. So that's why I didn't mention this one

Which phone is better is down to each person -
1. HTC One X (Hear alot of people not happy with phone)
2. Sony Xperia S ( Just dont go for sony)
3. Samsung Galaxy Nexus ( best choice)
4. Samsung Galaxy Note I1717 ( wait for the galaxy s3)
This is just my view but i would go for the galaxy s3 or the galaxy nexus, the s3 will be a popular phone and thus will get a lot of dev support.

Why would I suggest any other devices when I've already stated that I'm perfectly happy and still amazed every day of how awesome the Nexus is? It is dual core btw and runs every game flawlessly.

I know its dual core and after sometime every phone will be getting dual core. I don't like gnex because of the company samsung , I hate samsung (my opinion).
If it would be a HTC phone , i would have bought it by now.
And Brand matters to me.

First of all i don't like it designs at all and the way it copies the designs of other cell phones. In australia , a case has also been registered against Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 for copying the design of Apple ipad .
I don't have any issues with any other company.

Can anyone that owns a galaxy nexus tell the diference in a daily use betwen this 2 phones.

I have a SGSII. I can test the Nexus and personally I won't change for it. Ok, the update can be faster, but if you can put CM10 if you want the last version (yes, with some bugs, but they make a excellent job).
Only my opinion...
Nexus' biggest disadvantage: no microSD slot!!
Sent from my GT-I9100
in galaxy nexus 5mp camera. in sgs2 8mp camera
there is no sdcard slot in galaxy nexus.
I choose sgs2 and I don't want change it for galaxy nexus
Have a look at them both here

Personally would not have a Nexus over SGS2 regardless of updates

Reconsider...
may sound like a good "upgrade" but really I promise it isn't... Galaxy Nexus is same guts with a lesser camera... a more clunky feel in your pocket and lacks gorilla glass.... the development that is going on in the xda community here is far superior to anything you will find stock from the nexus... before you jump ship... give the team's work a try.

updates from google, we have cyanogen with fantastic roms but lacks close sources like video calls and nice camera app like on stock samsung roms
i think the updates to use all the features from the phone are better in nexus devices

u are right, the camera on S2 is amazing, but i have to ask u this, do u have an GNEX? and why the question? im aiming google experience and not the score on quadrant, i know the cpu is the same speed, i know tha S2 as a better gpu but i dont play games
i just dont want to regret after i make the trade
As the other people said, galaxy s2 is better, if you want a fast phone then flash resurrection remix rom

i live in the UK so basicly im looking for what you guys thing will be the best version of the S2 to get. i dont play any games on phone, well i have unblock me for times when im bored but mostly its internet surfing, personal money tracking and emails.
anyhow if oyu could haev any S2 which version would you get and Y?? thanks guys/girls
I would say the 9100 is the best variant.
It has a great development section and is a great device

get the I9100P if you are interest in using the NFC feature in the future.
otherwise the international version is fine.
It truly Depends...
What you need and in what u are interested...
Like SGS II X and HD LTE have greater Hardware... But i9100 have best development support
Peace
Hit Thanks & It will Disappear
