What I mean is to which forum are GS2 owners moving?
Is that time of the year when I can change my phone for a new one, but looking at the offer here in Mexico with the two mayor carriers there's nothing to convince me to change my S2.
I think none of them offers a big difference against the S2.
There's the S3 but I'm not paying $600USD for it and I'm not too convinced by the design; no offence but to me it's very girly.
Then we have the Motorola Razzr.
The cons, less internal memory and because of the closed bootloader there's practically no development.
The "good" thing is that apparently it is 4G LTE but I'm not been able to confirm this; the discussion about this doesn't conclude clearly.
At last we have the Xperia S, but it feels to heavy and I'm not crazy about the touch buttons for home, menu and back. They feel not too practical since i had to press several times to made them work.
Both, the razzr and xperia are at a very low price.
So, what to do?
I appreciate your opinions guys.
Thx

I don't think everyone is moving in one direction.. Everyone is buying different phones all the time. Buy hox?

That would be a great option but so far, the HOX is not available in Mexico.
I guess I just wanna know if there is more people like me who thinks the new models doesn't represent a significant, tangible upgrade.

Then wait for the S4 (hopefully ) or another worthy upgrade. If are not satisfied by the above named phones, don't buy them, because chances are you won't enjoy them as much...
Though that S3's HW...
ruan
S3 is smooth and good, really good hardware and if you don't buy it because you think the design is for girls... Then you should stay with the manly s2! No seriously? How is it girly designed?

wish xiaomi would sell their m2 phone here in uk as well, with that specs its even better than s3 for just $300
I have the same feeling as you bro and still don't know why I should upgrade to SIII. I know it's sleek and very smooth but I'm not convinced with the battery.
If NOTE II has up to 4k battery I might be tempted, if not then I'll buy S4.
for now my SII is doing good with jellybean

Sorry dude, but between the colors and the rounded shape it seems to me that is a phone more for my wife than for me; and lets face it, besides the beast inside it doesn´t have much to offer in design matter.
Thats my point of view.

Exactly!
It is like changing your car for the newest model just because it now has led tail lights....
It is just an example, but that's the feeling.

I personally dislike HTC one x because HTC went the Apple way in that phone.
-It doesn't have expandable memory and in my country they only sell 16g version.
-battery life is poorer than my SII and yet I can't buy an extra one simple because HTC has locked the battery down and it's not user replaceable.
-I checked my friend's own and it was a shame that the multitasking issues people are talking about was true.
-I hate their s-on, s-off bootloader policy

A friend at work just bought S3 and he regrets it ALOT after owning an S2, he asked me if i wanna switch with him but i said no. I think S3 is a bit to big. It has some nice features but im still in love with my S2. I think you should keep it still.

Although I think that will be a dream that's what I would say, too.
It make no sense to upgrade to S3: waste of money.

Not much of an upgrade. I'd wait until the new series of phones come out (HTC One-X, SGSIII).

This... Hold out for a little longer and you'll feel like you really upgraded instead of just changed phones.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I'm thinking of this too. If the size isn't an issue for you then I'd say go for it. Better screen res, bigger, bit faster, it's god damn sexy. If I had the cash I'd do it today, but I have to wait a bit.
better wait for SIII
change to galaxy note now? from an sgs2
sgs3 will come in march. htc one x is there
there is no reason at all to step back to an old phone
I would definetely wait for the SIII! The SII isn't an old phone so i would just wait a few months until the SIII becomes cheaper. But if you really love the GNote, then just go for it
I made that upgrade and I just love my Note, screen size is just perfect for me. Im not waiting for SGSIII I'm gonna hold to this Note and upgrade it when Note II/or Note S is out
Played with Note few days and first impression is that it is slower than SGS2 but with better screen..........it is too big for my taste and everyday use so i will stick with SGS2...........
Note too big for me.
will keep using gs2 until gs4 or 5, until gs2 get old. get slower when android os upgrade to 4 5 6.......

Done all the research and speculation seems to be there will be a hardware upgrade to the Note, maybe the Galaxy Note 2.. buying a Note still seems good. Jelly Bean is more for tablets I hear..
So would buying a Note be okay? Or will I regret it?
I know I could just get a S3 but the Notes' screen is nice. I like it, outta personal preference.
You know the s3 comes out soon right?
Imo, will make the note not worth the money.

I'm coming over from nexus. GS3 is a lot beautiful and better and cm team has announced that porting cm10 will be a piece of cake. If your phone supports CM9 then cm10 will be very easy. So jelly bean is out of question.
Thing is price. It's about half the cost of gs3.

Actually i heard dat teh iphone is de best. So im getin one.
Please feel free to get any other phone besides the gs3. Please.

i think s3 is betyer than nexus, as i like the bigger mon which i can hold n use by one hand
Of course, the S3 is the better phone. But for +50% price you get only +20 more features/power, because the Nexus already is a very well speced phone. So everyone has to decide for himself, if it's worth the cost.

only +20 power ??????? you are not serious i think....in terms of performance and power the Galaxy SII is better than the Galaxy Nexus...the Galaxy SIII and Galaxy SII use the same GPU but clocked at 400 Mhz for the S3 wich gives you the double of performance....and everyone knows that the Quad Core Exynos 1.4 Ghz is a beast......
Although the price of the S3 hardware necessary to future and more seamless experience and of course more enjoyable experience. The Galaxy Nexus has older hardware and is not running smoothly.

Nexus is a crap phone with seriously underpowered hardware. The graphics chip in the Nexus alone is from 2010 and is absolutely underpowered.
Jelly Bean had to be showcased on a stupid slow motion video to show a very very tiny difference in speed between the ICS and JB and to be fair, my GS3 runs twice as fast as the Nexus sporting JB so please.. come back when the new Nexus phone comes out
Actually, I have just returned to my Nexus. I do believe the S3 is a better phone, but Jelly Bean on the Nexus is just pure heaven I will start using my S3 when CM10 is ready, but until then, I have to say the Nexus is the better phone (except for the camera unfortunately)...
i love my gs3 but that jb it's looks awesome on the nexus

As soon as I have time to try one out, I will decide. I do think it looks better.
I have both. My gnex has pretty much been collecting dust since I got the s 3. Gnex isn't a bad phone, being first to get the updates is nice.
Still this phone has much better battery life, much more storage capability, and a better camera. It was the lack of an sd slot which drove me to the s3. I filled up the 16gb storage on the gnex real fast.
Jellybean is nice but it's not nice enough to sacrifice the extra performance, battery life, camera, and storage capability.
Also this version of touch wiz is boss. It's like having an ice cream sandwich drenched in chocolate sauce. It's the little things I keep finding which is why this is the phone that sits in my pocket now. For example to silence an alarm in the morning I just put my Palm across the screen.
Anyone who tries to claim the gnex is the better phone to go for is flat out kidding themselves. When the s3 first released I tried to tell myself I didn't need one because we will be first to get jellybean and s3 isn't much of an upgrade. Then my friend got one and once I had a play with it and saw his much faster it was even with all those features I just had to have one.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
GS3 already as smooth as Jellybean. Gnex is old phone from 2010 (last decade). The choice is very obvious unless you can't afford GS3.

Finally made the jump today! Got a SGS3 and a 16gb sd!
Galaxy Nexus is not from 2010.
Its from 2011.
Jelly Bean is great and you get the stock Google UX and consistent support. If your worried about hardware specs then you will want to upgrade your phone every 3 months.
Personally, I love my Nexus more than my SGS3. Also Nexus has a lot more Dev support.
I also read an article from Intel saying Android is not optimized for quad core and I have not yet seen an app/game that utilizes the GS3 specs just yet... and by the time apps are updated and are better optimized, the next Nexus will be announced.
Just my two cents.

All of those phones are quite fast and have a lot of development going on. If money is not a major factor, you may want to go with the Galaxy SIII or the One X. The Galaxy Nexus is also pretty good and has great development (for a lower price). The Sensation is a good choice too but it wouldn't be my first .
Ok thanks

Hey Guys, currently running an iPhone 4S (I know; it's ****, work compulsory item unfortunately. Apparently I can't use an Android phone. ) Well; I've left that company to join another one so I can finally get an Android! YAY! I'm not really happy with the Nexus 4; No expandable storage. Something that is a must for me.
So; my question is, should I get a Galaxy S3 or wait for the next phone?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Everybody will tell you a different story. For some SGS3 is a piece of crap, for me it's my dream phone come true. The only one near as good as the SGS3 is the Note but for me it's too big.

If you can find one without defects, take a OneX, or better, a OneX+....i changed 3 OneX, all of them defective in a way or in another, and then i gave up and bought an S3, which is a great phone, but to me it doesn't have that premium feeling...
I had this feeling when I bought desire HD (just when it came out) till I found out there won't be an update to ICS. Now if you look at let's say Jelly Time thread, 4.1.2 runs ok on it, but HTC won't help with the development (even in a form of a "leak" or any other). They have forgotten about this phone after about a year. Ignored the petition signed by tens of thousands. So if you think Apple is poo, think again. Buy any phone but not HTC. They are making great phones, but they have to come to their senses. I hope they will, as their sales and shares are really bad.
