Looking for a new phone - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

Heyyy ace ppl
So finally after a year and half I'll get a new phone
My first preference is the S3 i9300
It's got a good dev support in Xda and is also the really good phone
IMHO
So I wanted to know whether
Is it a good choice? I don't mind waiting If there's a better phone coming in India recently.
I also heard about the S3 i9303 varient but hasn't released in India yet
Lumia 920 is coming but windows is not my thing
Android ftw
So please suggest
Thank you

Wait for Nexus 4 and then decide
I got transformed into a potato while writing this post..

Only problem is that there's no play store in India I believe. (I'm in Singapore so not sure but think so). Which means telcos and other retailers are gonna increase the price by a lot. Greedy businessmen the lot of them...

Nexus 4 won't be available on India for a long long time
I'll go for the S3

I got an Galaxy nexus and a pre nexus 4.
The pre one wasn't that nice because of some bugs etc.... but just ordered my official nexus 4 in the playstore yesterday (very lucky) !

I doubt Nexus 4 release in India, but yeah you can order it via e-bay for nearly 24,000 INR. It'll be a US import for use in India ! Ordering one this December. Better prefer Nexus 4 over S3

clearly, Nexus 4

Try hard to find a way to buy a Nexus 4 because it's the right choice

You might as well buy it from abroad but if something happens to the phone. There won't be anything you could do
Nexus 4 parts won't be available.
thanks for your reply guys.
I have bought the S3

It's the best phone for the price!

Nexus One

I have decided to get a Nexus One
I have no money but i don't want to stick with Optimus One either. I found a nexus one for 100.99 USD(less than what I paid for in the optimus one)
It has pretty decent specs and will last me another few years
It has been a pleasure being in this community. I will probably keep my Optimus One and I still might stick around for a few days(amazon super saver shipping takes 10 days to arrive)
I will make my purchase tommorow. If anyone has any alternatives this pricepoint please list
Requirements:
Armv7 processor(I ain't dealing with Openmax ever again)
If used then no cracked screen.
no locked bootloader
Only thing that sorted dissed me off from nexus one was the same touch screen issue that p500 is having.
Hardware issue..
P500 and Nexus one are both using a non-true multitouch ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5puAvPqXpuc
I think you should really get some other phone..
All the best. We will miss your presence. Lost another member from this community.
thanks for ur contibution for this community....I got LG optimus T for $ 40 ....By the way I'll stick with my T.....:

I want a HTC phone... because thats the only way I will get a fully featured sense port
I want to try sense 3.5
If i like it then i might not even move to JB or ICS
and I need unlocked phone. I use T-Mobile USA. it needs to support 1700 mhz too
nexus will last me longer until I save enough money for another phone(maybe nexus 5. it should be cheaper by the time i save enough money to buy it)
and $100 usd for a referbished is a good deal. I can gurantee that there aren't any screen cracks, button issues etc(anything can happen with used)

There's a good deal from HS18 for s3... checkout the below link

The deal starts in another 4 hours. .. price is likely to be less than 29k...If you can spend this amount, go for it.

no
That's a very stupid question. It all depends on your budget and needs
It's the question to think about when you're buying a phone 4 month before the next generation will coming out... sgs4 will be soon there.
Especially now 4.2 is out. Update news on Drippler.

Yes 4.2.1 is out for the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7...
Samsung will soon release 4.2 for the S3, but they are first releasing 4.1.2 for everyone

Yes.. i was reading something that in february/march we should have the 4.2 update on S3. That would be great. Soon will be S4 and i really hope this one will be good from any point of view, no more hardware problems, no more cheap plastic... We will see soon
Guys which device should I buy???...
I loved my s3 a lot but unfortunately it was stolen by a gang of thieves...
Now am stuck up between nexus 4/one x+/samsung galaxy nexus/one x and if anything else better device you know ,please pm me ..
I mean in pune in india nexus is only available in black ...
I would buy a Note 2

Not with the s4 looming no, although development for the s3 will continue the s4 is going to get a lot of attention and you would be stupid to not take it into consideration
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I wouldn't be so sure about saying yes. The Galaxy S IV has been announced to be launched in mid March, so it should be shipping worldwide by the end of March. If you can wait another two months then it could be worthwhile. Even if you decide not to upgrade, S IIIs will be cheaper as the new model is out.

S3 or Note 2

Should i buy s3 or note 2? Hows the quality on note 2?
Wait! The new devices coming out at CES are better than the Note 2 and SGS3.
Nexus .

Both are technically excellent, personal preference on the size is the decider - I held both in my hand when deciding. The note was far too big for my pocket and embarrasing to hold to your ear (think 1980's brick sized phones).
Yea new devices r coming so bassically u r getting 'old' devices..

Note 2 for the updated screen etc. But SGS4 out soon, save your money up to buy it outright on day one without delay.

When you can actually get the s4 they will already release the s5
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
They are both good phones and to the save up for a s4 when it comes out. Samsung hasn't put out a release date and then the s5 or nexus 5 is coming out. There is always something newer and better around the corner

Why not read around the forums and see what people are actually saying, rather than asking people's opinions, which on this site are driven by people's egos and desire to voice their opinions

The Galaxy S3 is the latest of the S Series... Its hardly old, its 6 months old, in Android terms this is old but it excels almost every device at CES, with the exception of the Xperia Z maybe...

Is this phone worth 350 right now without contract?

I have the samsung galaxy nexus and my update is not until the beginning of next year. Need to update to a newer phone with a big screen and dna seems to fit that mold... i wanna ask you guys who havw had the phone for a while is it worth 350 that my friend is selling his for???

If your DNA in on 2.x you can't boot loader unlock it , can be done through a hardware hack , Google for dna JTAG

350 is about the going market rate at the moment. As someone else said, make your buddy give you the friend discount to 325 and jtag for 45. Big jump from your Nexus.

In my opinion its worth it if you send it off and get it JTAG'd before anything else.

What phone to get?

Hey guys,
I got the I9001(S Plus) for a long time now and he's getting real slow.
Anyway, I want to buy a new phone.
What do you guys recommend me?
Budget around 400 euros.
I was personally thinking between the HTC One X or the Galaxy S3.
But isn't the S3 outdated?
Thanks in advance!
