Hello,
I have a question... I am going to buy a LG optimus 2x speed p990 because the mine gets old ( i have a wildfire) and i want to play games on it like the upcoming gta vice city 10th year... and MC 4(wich gameloft games can i play on it?) i've read some things like: the battery dies in a year, dead pixels, it breaks fast is this true?
I'm going to root it and put CM10 on it + overclock but can you guys help me out if you dont recommend it please give a suggestion for me
NOTE: I'm not going to buy a S3 or other expensive phones (note(II) ) because i dont have enough money for it
Optimus 2x is a damn old phone isn't it.! It's officially discontinued from production! U should check out some other phone! Even the nexus4! From the same manufacturer! It's got the leading specs in the market right now!

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)

I think it is a wise choice. O2X just got ICS now so its looking promising... gaming on thst is very good, in my experience... No frame drops like ones found in the Nexus 7

I think you can buy it for gaming, it worth its price. Vice City supports Xperia Play so I'm pretty sure it will work well on o2x. And official cm10 brings the best experience to the phone, everything's so smooth.

I'm considering to upgrade my P500 to a better one. Currently i'm staring at the Xperia X10. Would that a wise choice? I dont want the latest duo cores phone yet because they seem like unstable to me yet, and quad cores is coming too!
The reason that I want X10:
1Ghz over my 600mhz
superb camera from Sony!
FWVGA, hopefully 16M color ready with 2.3
Any opinion bout it?

yup....absolutely....but with custom roms you can last for 24hrs.
I would suggest to either update big or just don't at all. This phone is good for daily use with no lag so it would be a waste to upgrade to just 400Hz more.

Well, first of all, I would not buy anything from Sony, ever... http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2011/02/sonys-war-on-makers-hackers-and-innovators.html
On the rest:
- Faster CPU is nice for gaming, but obviously more power drain. I prefer to not even think about how long would a quad-core last with current batteries? 6 hours?
- For camera - technically a valid reason, P500 sucks in this department. However, I have my own pretty expensive camera for serious purposes, the stuff on phones is frankly just a toy for fun.
- 16M colors? Noone will notice the difference really. Good for marketing, otherwise, makes no difference.

Yeah battery is a real pain, but the camera part is a bit controversial. I dont think it is convenient to bring a DSLR everywhere to take a decent photo, well a better camera phone might be a better solution[at least X10 has a far more better camera]. I really need the 16M color, because some widget and wallpaper looks nice with computer screen[32bit] but looks ugly with P500's screen[18bit].

As for your 16M colors, human eye cannot distinguish 16M colors. Hard scientific fact.

Hey There,
a friend of mine is looking for a midrange Phone going up to 300€ / 400$
i tried my best and we found the HTC One V to be a good and pretty phone that also has a slight chance to get a major update (since it is in the One line)
Would you agree with the One V or is there a great phone in that price range we missed?
Does the One V have any killer arguments not to buy it?
Thanks for your Advice
If your friend isn't an hardcore android user and it's his first smartphone I'd say xperia arc s or optimus 2x. Also some recent things like xperia u and sola are nice. It all depends on what he likes and wants. For example, I love gaming so I bought xperia play, it's far from being in the battle for best phone and having great specs but it's all about user experience in my opinion.

Thank you!
I didn't know these phones are already that much down in price.

I have an LG G2x, the US variant of the Optimus 2x, and I'd highly recommended it for a first phone as long as you'd be willing to install a custom ROM on it.

Id go for an evo 3d, not because of the cool bonus of 3d, more because its a dual core phone, 1gb ram, 4.3 inch screen, eactly the same as a sensation, but the battery is bigger, more mah, i got mine for 180 quid, mint condition of ebay, plus its planned to get ics, although there are some amazing ics leak roms already!

Is the 512Mb of RAM on the 2x an issue?
In a similar boat, looking for the cheapest phone with dual core cpu, 1Gb of RAM, tolerable internal RAM, SD slot and reasonable community support.
i doubt there is a 1gb ram phone you can get new in this price range :S
so far the LG optimus 2x look good, but it wont get 4.0 until Q3...

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

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

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?

but i wonna make sure im makign the best choice!
currently im thinking about buying the nexus 4 well here what i do!
watch movies=care about screen
need money=care about money so can build better custom pc in summer
do games! (dead trigger shadow gun and other high graphic games)
almost no music-photos i never take photos and never listen to music! maybe one time a year!
thanks!
and if u own a nexus 4 or somethig whit 16gb storage can u tell me is this anough? maybe i will buy a wireles storage or something!
If you want a good phone for games, you may want to get the HTC one x. I thinks its quite expensive but it has a tegra 3 graphics processor meaning you can play games like shadow gun THD. though the nexus 4 is very good still.
Hope it helps!

Honestly its still a great phone as long as you're running a custom/kernel. Buy it if its a good deal. Future cm updates seem imminent as the Nexus S still gets official CM I think

Why don't you want to buy Motorola moto G? It's newer,faster and better
I have bought mine in 2014 and i am really happy.
don't .. Buy a Moto X or Moto G .. way to better
I bought mine from a friend one month ago. In this money(200$), don't regret a second. I sold my Optimus 4X HD one week before ( after owning it a month) and it is a huge update. Please, don't even think about it ( One X also, I guess, as they both have Tegra3). It lagged a lot even at 1500-1600 mHz. S3 still flies at 800-900mHz undervolted -100mV. Yes. I still think it is a good investition. If you find something newer ar the same, or even better price, then go for it !

Galaxy S3 still retains it's good old performance so in my opinion it's a great phone nowadays it gets your work done.
And the combination of Cyanogenmod 11 with Boeffla kernel with some tweaks is going to make the device a great daily driver!
Look for another device if you are not in for rooting and custom kernel/rom. The stock rom 4.3 is terrible and make you smash your phone. Better option is Moto x!

Nice device but SGS3 has much much better camera. You also don't get 1080P video recording on the Moto G, or microSD for more storage (only 11GB on the G).
S3 still rocks but lacks threeimportant things in my opinion
1- Build quality & material ( weaker than Note series for example )
2- RAM is consider not much these days
3- Camera is sort of outdated but not important if you are not a camera user anyway
