I'm planning to buy a new device this holiday. My first pick is the iPod Touch 5th gen with A5 chip (SGX543 MP2). Same with the current iPhone 4S but without the phone function. Then I search for an android phone under $350 and I saw this. I search all available benchmarks and it says that the iPhone 4S SGX543 MP2 is better than the Galaxy S2 Mali-400MP and Xperia Sola with Mali-400 is almost half slower than GS2
so iP4s > GS2 > XPSola.
The new iPod touch is scheduled for release this week so I'll more reviews.
Go for Ipod bro. iOS games are released way before Android. The PowerVR smokes Mali too!

I'd say go for the SGS2 if you're looking for a choice that's been proven by many, and go for the sola if you're looking for a nicer one to fit on your hands (plus you can use it with a glove)
i won't recommend the iOS if you're looking for something that you can modify freely
Come on people, he wants to play games. The best choice for gaming is iPod

Ipod touch without a doubt.
And get a Nokia 1100 for Phone purpose for 10$ lol.
Well, I suggest you buy a PS3/PSvita/XBOX instead for gaming, not many good games are released frequently for Mobile platforms..only a limited choice...while as complete opposite for Consoles
I'm suffering now because I bought Galaxy S2 instead of Xbox Elite months back only for gaming and there ain't many :banghead:

Wow thank you for all the replies! I didn't expect to have this many replies :victory:
SGS2 is great but its around $450 here in our country. I want to try the Android platform because it is open for tweaks and customization but with my money I can't buy a powerful phone with it (e.g GNexus / GS2).
And one more thing. Is there a way to download paid apps for FREE? Because I have an iPT4 jailbroken last year and I can download all apps for free via Installous app. Is it similar to Android? Do I have to root it to be able to install the cracked games?

I'm looking for an all in one portable device, PSVita is great but I don't like its features and ecosystem. I also don't need consoles because I have my laptop for games
Go for ipod touch..
cz i've try when i want to play a game in my droid, it's not smooth like ipod touch 3rd did.
it's 3rd bro.
i don't know what happen in that game if we use ipod 5th.
If you want a device strictly for gaming then I'd suggest you to wait until iPad Mini.

I'm also thinking about blackberries, but what Android has to offer is just too good. Blackberry is going to be dead if RIM doesn't pull something out quick. I really like the form factor of them, but just that their OS is just crap compared to Android/iOS/Windows 7.

Why? Is there anything you can't do with Android?
Even if you don't tinker too much with os or use custom roms, you can do much more on Android.
1.Media Player ( with audio effects)
2.Office apps
3.Navigation
4.EMails
5. Social apps
6. Gaming
Everything that is required and much more is there.
On the other hand if you are bored with Android and don't want yourself to be tempted to flash roms again and again, you can buy a blackberry.
If you don't care about equalizers and audio effects, go for a windows
7 phone. Mango RTM (released to manufacturers) update is already available and official will be available after September 27.

I don't think anyone could have said it better
I had a Blackberry curve for about 4 days before I decided I hated it. I went back to the store and traded it for my P500h.
The blackberry is just simply a phone with some gadgets added to it and lots of messaging and email capability.
The android it just so much more than that. There are so many things which the blackberry comes short, like media playing, customization, games, file management, user modification, etc. It just seems silly to go back to something so rudimentary in comparison. But if all you want is a phone that does email, messaging, calling, and some music playing, get a blackberry. Or better yet, get a cheaper not so smart phone and get the same thing.
If you want an android phone with the look and feel of a blackberry you could get a motorola droid pro.

The only pro of Blackberry over other smartphones is... the userbase.
Some people are already attached to their BBMs and with these people a lack of BBM will cost you socially or in business when you find yourself out of the loop. If you're faced with that situation, then you can say you need a Blackberry.
For other cases, with the same price you can get a much better phone running Android, Windows or even Symbian. Alternatively, get a cheap, old model Blackberry for BBM and another mid-range Android with custom ROM for everything else you want out of a Smartphone.

So, I have been using my SGS3 for about 6 weeks and I am loving it. This phone is loaded with so much technology that I can not really see what more I would need in a phone.
1.4 dual core CPU
2GB memory
LTE
GPS
Music and video player
Gorgeous 4.8" screen
Will this not last me a few years? This phone will not be obsolete any time soon.
What more would I really need in a phone? I know in the future phones will have more stuff built into them, but to what end? I can actually see myself using this phone until it is dead.
I know there are people who upgrade to the latest and greatest every time something new comes out, but the average person does not. So, will you upgrade to what ever comes out next , and if so, why? Or will you keep your phone for a while?
For those who will upgrade, what would you like to see in the next phone that the S3 does not already have? Coffee maker? Juice squeezer? Clothes Iron? Hamburger maker? Nail polish applier?

For me, is simply depends on my budget. If I got the money, I just change whatever best phone comes out

this ^ plus there's bound to be a whole host of features... Soon (well I'm hoping) phones will be completely voice controlled. although I quite like the gesture control (someone over in the apps forum has developed something)
There are never "needs" to upgrade just "desires". I will be upgrading if the next phone has HD Super Amoled Plus.
I've had all iphones ... then changed to android with the S2 and now the S3, i'm prepare for iphone 5 or Galaxy S4 ...

Depending on the design of the next Google Nexus phone, I'll be getting that.
Most likely it will be a Motorola product
It will be obsolete in 15 months. Trust me.
When the S2 was released, about 1 and a half years ago, people said the same thing: it'd the "the phone" for years to come. Now that I've had my S3 for about the same time as you, I look at my old S2 (that I gave to my wife) and think how was I able to use such a tiny screen!
The thing is: our expectations will shift upwards, new technologies will emerge and things we don't even know that exist today are things that a couple years from now we won't be able to live without.
I refrain my self from saying "this will be my phone for xx years", because I am a tech addict, a gadget junkie! I remember clearly that a couple weeks before the release of the S3 I wrote in the XDA S2 forums that I wouldn't spend a dime on moving from my S2 to the S3... until I held it in my hands! I wrote that there is nothing in the S3 that I couldn't have from the S2.... how wrong was I ?

Exactly the same with me
If they make a phone with
- no wake up lag
- no physical home key
- 2 GB RAM
and leave everything else the same as SGS3, I'll buy it immediately.
Galaxy nexus would be a perfect phone for me if it has sd card slot and better SoC at least like s2, now when google put tegra 3 in nexus 7 which performs really well it's obvious that next nexus phone will be equipped like this or even better . So i'm 95% sure Nexus 4 or whatever it's called, will bey next one

I freaking love this game!!! But I was wondering if there were any games like this available for our Android phones. And if possible, any that don't require as much hardware as my phone has so that my co-worker can play on his Motorola Cliq? lol
For a cliq? No. See my sig, I've owned a cliq, but fps games like that need multitouch, and without it he's going to have to stop whenever he wants to shoot.
I also have to give praise to studio onmars for making such a great game that requires little hardware. There are no games like this that can be limited to a adreno 130 gpu and still run fine.
Sorry

Ahhh. In that case, you definitely want to try out NOVA 3 for a sci-fi type shooter (much like halo) and Modern Combat 3 for a call of duty modern warfare 3 clone. Both require over 1 GB of storage though and cost $7 each. Amazing games though. (Worth every penny but $7 is high for an app. Your choice)

NOTE: I'm not going to buy a S3 or other expensive phones (note(II) ) because i dont have enough money for it

If you are looking for a phone for gaming, you really should be looking at something that packs a lot more punch, otherwise you will end up with a phone that is medicore at best. Newer games demand quite a lot from the phone.

It would be enough for nearly everything. Your biggest problem would be the 512MB of RAM. But see, galaxy S is still good for gaming with JB. GTA3 runs well on an xperia tipo, so most of the games, and even tegra ones would run on your choice. Search for youtube videos, it's powerful enough, and you can afford it. Galaxy S advance is close to this in hardware with 768MB RAM, but only 2.3.6, flash counter chip, no support, and really expensive in comparsion. You won't be disappointed with optimus 2x after wildfire.
What 'bout Motorola atrix IT has the same proccesor and a good ram (NOT 4G)
