Posted on another forum but was curious regarding XDA members.
are you guys planning on getting the ATT S2 come october 2nd even though the nexus prime is supposedly close? or is the S2 just not worth it at this point? no bashing (im actually contemplating on buying one myself).
I will be at the store when it opens on Oct 2. Even though we're getting it late it will still be a top 5 phone for the next year.

The Note looks incredible, but not sure how I'd carry that around...
will wait for Note how big it is in real, and than decide. AT&T is little bit too late for me to be excited because I am using int. version since early June.

I plan on getting one. Even though it's already a few months old, I feel like it's one of the most "future proof" of current phones on the market right now.
Things like Exynos CPU/GPU, 1 GB ram, NFC, effectively maximum speed HSPA+... My Captivate runs quite comfortable at 1.3 GHz w/ Cyanogenmod and still beats the pants off of any stock Android device currently available in the States. That's 2+ versions of Android ahead of what it launched with (2.1 Eclair), and a 30% overclock of what the stock chip came with. By similar logic, the GS2 should last through Ice Cream Sandwich and beyond...
The Note looks awesome but if I wait for it then something better will be right around the corner, besides, been sitting on this upgrade since July

I don't get why people think Note is God like phone or something. By the time it comes out, the specs will be mediocre at best.

I thought the Note wasn't an actual phone. But meant to be something in between a phone and a tablet. I get why it's awesome. The display resolution.
But I'll be picking up the AT&T SGSII when it comes out. Can always sell it later when something much better is released.
I will be getting it on or close as possible to Oct. 2nd I have waited this long and learned my lesson. I WON'T be waiting for the next best phone from attention after this one, I will fork out the cash for an unbranded phone. Maybe the prime or SGS3 IN the near future

I'll be getting it on launch day for sure. I was debating on waiting for the Nexus announcement but the likelihood of at&t seeing a nexus device near launch is slim to none. I know there have been hints dropped about it launching as both cdma and gsm but there is no concrete evidence. So just going by history it will likely be a few months before at&t sees the prime.

Nexus Prime/iPhone 5 for me atm... but theres still a 10% chance that seeing the Att Attain in person could wow me into buying it but I highly doubt it. Don't like Att/Samsung giving Americans the middle finger by taking 6 months to bring it to the U.S.

Have you actually seen the specs? The note is going to be the best phone in the world bar none. What realistic specs could another phone have that would make the Galaxy Note look mediocre? I can't think of any realistic ones...

You suck!
LoL gotta admit had me laughing hard though
It's either buy this on release date or wait for the Nexus Prime or HTC Holiday/Raider 4G for me. I've been phoneless since March so I'm not sure that I want to wait much longer for such a trivial upgrade (SGSII -> Prime/Holiday).
What do you guys think?
Is there any trick or loopholes in att contract that we can exploit to get an early upgrade? Or is there any way like may be paying something around 100$ to get an early upgrade?

Because it has potential, higher resolution is a big thing which is the only thing missing from sgs2.
Also 5.3 sounds big, but you never know it may be the sweet spot between a phone and tablet. It is definitely going to replace both my phone and tablet.
And then there is the stylus which is kind of cool to have and might come handy in lots of places.
The only thing which is disappointing is the software. I would have liked to see ICS, but they are shipping with ginger bread.

O'hoy there mates!
I've been comparing the Sensation XE and the Galaxy Nexus, and now I've decided to go for the Nexus, since I prefer the display and UI over the 0.3 Ghz and the 3 extra MP. Even though I'm actually a huge HTC fan and love Sense, I'm just stunned by the Nexus.
BUT, I was wondering if it is "too late" to purchase a Samsung Galaxy Nexus?
Sure, it won't matter if a slightly better phone turns up, but if a "kiss-my-ass-nexus"-phone turns up just the day after, I'd be sad .
And I guess it will still take some time for phones with the Tegra 3 to turn up, right?
I would make the purchase at the 24th (payday ), but I suppose I could wait a day or two if a something-out-of-the-ordinary-awesome-phone turns up .
Regards!
i have a nexus and love it, one thing to consider though is that nexus phones have an extremely high resale value as long as you keep them in good shape.

Yeah, I understand that! When did you purchase yours?
Hmmm it is def not too late to buy this one! Heck it won't even be too late to buy the SGS II or SG note butttt...
This phone I def recommend, but SGS III coming this year although Samsung is not releasing anything official.
The Nexus is a great collabo between Samsung and Google... you won't regret it

I think that most of smartphones, at least high end like the Galaxy Nexus, had around one year of "life". So is not to late, not even close.

I'm really glad you asked this as I am upgrading to my first smartphone on the 15th and have had my eyes set on the Galaxy Nexus. That being said I want to get something that'll last me 2 years as I'm not the type to dish out the ridiculous amounts of money to upgrade early or buy without a 2 year contract discount. From reading things, I shouldn't worry about purchasing a Galaxy Nexus. Thank you
i quit my purchase , ill wait the S III
I agree. It's certainly not too late to buy one. Most phones last for at most 2 years these days, and then it's time to upgrade. For sure, the Nexus will still be considered one of the best phones within these 2 years.
Anyone know when this phone will come to ATT?
I think this will be the best phone to end the year and start off the year for Sammy.. Anyone think the GS 3 is still the flagship ? cause I think this is the best phone now.:good: thoughts and opinions Plss

Mid October likely. But I could care less. I'm quite content with the performance of the current Note, we have a well established and thriving dev community, and the current screen is better than the new one. And I have a GNex arriving tomorrow. I'll be good on phones until either the next nexus, the next galaxy s, or the next note.

Some time next year. We usually get android devices in the U. S. a few months after the International version has been released.

Honestly, we don't know anything about the AT&T version. We can only speculate based on what we gather from IFA2012. So it'll actually be quite some months until we hear anything that might be truthful.
I hope people don't start with the: "I know a rep from AT&T and they said...."
The only Quadcore processor that can run with LTE is the Snapdragon S4 Pro currently. I'm thinking the US variants will have the Dual core snapdragon s4 like the GS3 and HOX but clocked at 1.6mhz. But if it does get the SD S4 Pro quad...it will fly!

Mid 1st quarter, 2013.....
AT$T will ride the GS3 bandwagon as long as possible..including the Chiristmas holiday season, as sales for the GS3 are far from over....IMHO
they dont want two flagship devices running at the same time. the back to back approach is common for them....g

Even though the GNex is already a year old almost I think it's a great phone with JellyBean and ONLY with JellyBean because I saw a lot of lag when using my friends phone (which has the original software on it).

Didn't the guy in the video post specs and it said the quad core exynos will support LTE (in selected markets that have the connectivity?).. i'm hoping it will have LTE connectivity. But battery ahhh it will destroy any battery even if it's 3,100 mAh...... *sigh*

I've played with the Verizon version on ICS and it's still buttery. Your friend probably had something else causing the lag. And you think I would really stay stock? Haha. I'm excited to get it. It will still get the next version of Android no doubt, and by them I'll be ready to buy another phone anyways. The nexus is for me too get into developing as well...just figured it would be best to go nexus for that. My note and nexus will last me plenty good.

His GNEX had virtually no apps except maybe 2-3 i saw on his one home page (yeah weird right? LOL)... the transition going from main street to the app tray was a bit laggy and scrolling through menus was a bit choppy too. maybe he had the original firmware on it therefore it wasnt updated to the latest ICS builds.
I'm still thinking about a Nexus with JellyBean. Seems to be pretty futureproof with project butter in place.
You wouldn't be disappointed. Just received mine yesterday, and I have no desire really to flash anything custom. JB on the nexus is simply amazing.

Coming to the end of my GS2 contract next month. Is the GS3 still worth upgrading to 5 months since its release? Is there anything else forthcoming that I should be watching out for instead perhaps?
If it comes down to it, I could quite happily continue with my GS2 for the time being. I'm thinking that in not so many months the GS4 will be released.
What do you reckon?
I would get the note 2 if I were you. It's going to be released shortly, that way you're getting the quad core processor plus 2GB of ram, that will make for a more future proof device...
Enviado de meu GT-I9300 usando o Tapatalk 2
It's definitely worth buying. It's still easily the best phone out there. Maybe the LG Optimus G might be better in a few ways, but the amount of dev work on this model will be unmatched.
I don't see any point waiting for GS4 as there is quite a long way to go before that comes out.
Well, it's not really that long if we're looking at a May release. That's 7 months after my contract runs out. Might be tempted if I can get a very good deal from my operator.
No doubt about the development scene on both the GS2 and the GS3. Seems much better than any of the similar models out there (latest HTCs etc).
Galaxy Note is out of the question. It's MASSIVE.
I think you should upgrade to s3 or wait for the note2

Thank if it helped.It's there for a reason
I was happy with my GS1. Only got GS3 as was given free by my boss. I was gonna wait for Note2. If I had a complaint it would be the WiFi acting up (losing internet connection) and over sensitive volume buttons (but that could be my gel case).

It is hard to say how future-proof SGS3 will be if you put things that way.
5 Months? New and better devices will come from different brands and types.
The question is, do you need to get one now or do you prefer to wait?
If I feel it correctly, SGS4 will come probably about in 12 months from now.
Note 2 will come in the next 1-3 months (about 5 months since SGS3 launch)
Next Nexus device? Dunno for sure but it will come also probably by end of this year.
SGS3 is the best phone out there right here right now and not 5 months later.
You could find always somet'in newer and better with time.
My opinion about the my SGS3 future-proof, it can hold on for 2 years from now without any problem
I don't think it's worth upgrading from the s2 to the s3. If i were you i would tweak the s**t out of the s2 then get the s4 when it'll be out.
I read the OP better.
If you can change the phone at little or no cost the s3 is the best choice right now. The note 2 is a nice device, but it's too big in my opinion.
The reason why I would upgrade is the 4.8 hd screen which is pretty nice, but if I compare my galxy s3 with s2 it has almost same speed

Historically, Google have been known to release more than one Android
version in the same calendar year. That being said, any talk of an upcoming Nexus is pure speculation at this point.

S2 is still a very good handset. No reason to upgrade if you already have one, except for the hell of it. S3 is a definite upgrade but not a particularly big jump.

Hey galaxy s2'ers!!
I am the owner of a HTC HD2 that has been my pride and joy for a long time. However recently its mini-USB port and GPS broke/failed on me and I decided to move on.
I'm looking for a phone I can keep for a couple of years and it must have decent camera, battery life and good GPS reception. Games/3D performance tends to be rather secondary to me.
I checked with my carrier and I can get a brand new 16GB Galaxy S2 for about 200€. There is a more or less similar question to this one here in the forum but do tell me what you think: is the GS2 a good buy these days and for this price?
Thank you!
Yes.Buy 10 of them,keep 1 and stick the other 9 on eBay-youll make a killing.Ones with broken screens sell for that!

You bet, it is! I just bought a SGS2 4 months for now, and I am completely satisfied and overwhelmed with it. It has the best package for an Android phone. Tons of modifications depending on your taste, and a very powerful hardware that can run almost every app & games. The only phone I would consider to replace my SGS2 is non other han its successor.
Reference: I've constantly checked other Android phones to compare, but nothing beats this beast from what I see.
Go for S III, or Nexus or S II,
If you want to fully Customise your device go for SII or SIII
If not, other variants of S II Like S II X or HD LTE SGH - I757M have greater Hardware 1.5 Ghz i think.

You bet I'm still here: thanks for the input guys! I'm having a meeting with my carrier agent - or whatever you call it - to discuss what phone I'll be getting: I share a professional plan with other colleagues so I get to chose a new phone for a low cost from time to time.. hence the 200€ :victory:
don't worry about sgs2, it definitely worth the money since this great phone beat iphone 4s last year. if you are looking for more budget android smartphone, get sgs2 since the price drop a lot since the launch of sgs3. well, if you can afford sgs3, i will recommend it. :good:
i have been using my sgs2 for almost 6 months now, i wanna say that i am more happy to continue to be with my baby. sgs2 get most of the android update, and i just flash a jelly bean ROM.
sgs2 is more easier to root, to customize, to tweak compare to HTC (where you need the whatever S-OFF thing). i almost kill my friend HTC phone by just trying to S-OFF it. stupid bootloader.
conclusion, if you want cheaper, daily use phone, you can go for sgs2. if you want newer phone, get sgs3 or galaxy note 2.:good: just get samsung phone, you get tonnes of tutorials, guides here.

There has been 1 week since I bought my Galaxy S2 and I'm telling you. I love every bit of it. EVERYTHING. The camera, the screen, design, the UI and everything. Having said that, though the reason why I'm in love with it is maybe because my older phone was only a Samsung Galaxy Mini.
i don't know about you, but I think you can't get a better phone with that price (200€). I got mine for €220 and I don't regret any cent spent on it.
worth all that money and much more.
good for you ^^ enjoy every bit of it. like my s2. i am still not bored of it since JB is here for s2 as well ^^
