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...

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).

No. No, no, no.
Why do people insist on making stuff up.
The next nexus will be announced when the next android update is announced, that's how they always do it.
This years nexus device/os update combo was jellybean and the nexus 7.
Do you think Google are gonna release anothwr nexus device in jellybean? Or that they are going to announce an os update in december?
Dream on.

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.

It's still awesome, yes.
So I've never owned a large tablet before, I had a nexus 7 for a few months but I sold it to pay bills. I have a galaxy s3 and between that my old nexus I know I'm definitely android fan all the way. To get the point I'm thinking of buying a nexus 10 but I'm hearing about a new version coming out late February early March and there is also talks of medium sized galaxy note 8 and a slightly smaller tablet sounds awesome, so my question is should I wait for the new nexus 10? Go buy the current one from walmart, get another nexus 7 or wait for the note 8?
Aloooottt of spelling and grammatical errors I know..
The only new version I could see coming out in the near future would be a gsm sim card version. For those people who want an lte version, not going to happen in a long long time, just get over it.

More powerful? Which one? First of all, why would they if they just released this processor on this device, first tablet with it anyways. Tegra 4 or the octa are not available and they have never revised a nexus device, they are not going to re-release the same tablet with any hardware upgrade, they will only do firmware updates, new hardware will come on the next nexus device. This is an awesome device, they just got to fix some things on the display/gamma department and thermal throttling.

Rumor or not...only time will tell...take a look here. I would hate to see it happen but if memory serves me right the Nexus 7 8GB got discontinued with the 16GB getting sold for the same price. Apples and oranges but could happen. Thumb down if it does.

A bit different , because for storage all they need to do is use a larger sd card inside the same device, CPU/GPU would require a lot more changes to the hardware, and would have a lot of customers pissed like myself that waited a long time for a tablet, and to see them do this and I got mine this Christmas, would not sit well with me and a lot of people, but hey that's just my opinion, really hope they wouldn't screw customers like that, and after I dropped a lot of money to buy a nexus 7 for the wife and a 10 for me, if they go and do that these would make the last Google/nexus devices I'll ever get.

Droid-Life posted a story about this rumored Nexus 10 2. Their thought (and it's all spevulation) is that they might announce it/show it off at MWC next month, officially announce it at I/O and release it in the fall. I wouldn't wait.
All the people reporting it are just regurgitating the original websites story and adding their own twist on it to make it sound like they've got the inside scoop. Fact: None of them know any more than the original story (if that's even true). It's typical bad circle jerking journalism. #1 reason I try to avoid almost all the Android `insider' (I'm looking at you Android Police) websites. It's hard to though when they all publish 9,245 stories a day to garner unwarranted page clicks.
So are you? I keep looking online for information to the new Nexus 10, but no one seems to care. All I can find is information related to the new Nexus 5, and although it's a great looking device, I'm gonna wait a bit to see if I want to change carrier just to get it. What really has me excited is the concept of a far more powerful Nexus 10 device.
Yet, no one seems especially interested. So am I gonna have any competition at all buying this device? If no one cares I guess it'll make it that much easier to waltz in and buy it. I even sold my old one before the new one was announced so that I could get a good price for it.
I am with you. Looking forward to it. If it ever sees the light of day.

Agree. A good device but not perfect.
Im also looking forward to the 2nd gen Nexus 10. However, I really hope that its not Asus that makes the next N10. They seem to f**k up every device they release.

Yup I am looking forward to it. The current Nexus 10 is good but you can tell that it has not really been optimised and it does lag. Because the new tablet will be using the 800 snapdragon (well hopefully) then it will sure be a hell lot smoother and stable.

That's what I felt about mine the whole time I had it. It was smooth... sometimes. Even with the subsequent updates it never really felt like it was "there" yet. I knew going in that it was a first gen device and that there may be problems. Perhaps they just couldn't find a CPU/GPU at the time that would handle the level of power needed. Overall I choose Android over iOS for the functionality, and wouldn't balk at a few stutters. However, there were many things that just seemed to really bother me.
Browsing the web was a complete chop fest on many of my favorite websites, most likely because the Nexus has to re-scale just about everything, every time, because of its very high resolution. Also, playing games was fun, but only til the tablet got really hot and throttled itself and the game started to slow down. Even the relatively simple game "Dungelot" had this problem. Stuttering abounded after that happened. It was other games too but that one I remember vividly.
In other words... I loved it, but I would also really love an updated version of it. One that doesn't have the problems present with the first.
Well it definitely looks like it'll be manufactured by Asus and not Samsung.
That doesn't really bother me - I came to the Nexus 10 from the Nexus 7 (first gen). Nexus 7 was awesome until 4.2 was released and it never recovered from that. It annoyed me that to get a decent experience from it I needed to use an outdated version of Android...
I sold my Nexus 7 and bought a 2nd hand N10. I do love my N10 but yeah obviously I would love an updated faster version, but for me money is an issue and I already got a great bargain for the 2nd hand N10 (for £185) (this was in July), so i wouldn't be able to afford a new N10. Same with the Nexus 5. Would freaking love one but no way I can afford it, I've got a 2nd hand HTC One X (for £145).
Yeah I agree Google need to sort out performance on android. Nexus 7 first gen was brilliant but after the 4.2 update it has been bad, and even with 4.3 with trim it is still laggy.
Nexus 10 on the other hand has got better with updates, it is just the kernel and driver which is letting it down in my opinion.

Right? Where's the new Nexus 10 spec leak? Come on, they've already pretty much shown us the whole Nexus 5. Specs, images, hell they even put it up on Google Play for a short time. I have looked through the roster of available tablets, and a new Nexus 10 is what I wanna go with, despite the absence of info. The new Note looks alright, but it also looks bloated and confusing.
Why can't the other tablet manufacturers understand that maybe the user actually wants to use some of that power for important things, not 100 background processes that slow the entire thing down. Oh sure you could root it and put a different ROM on, but why would I pay $550 for a tablet with all these special features I don't want and am going to just throw away? It's like pissing $150 down the drain.
Google needs to get on the ball with these new releases.

I'm with you. I've never been a fan of Samsung TouchWiz - it's just a bunch of unnecessary fluff as far as I'm concerned.
I purchased my current cell phone (Galaxy Nexus) from Amazon for just that reason.
Hopefully by the time the new Nexus 10 is out the Asus TF701T will be available as well - would be nice to have another choice at time of purchase!

Needs to look more square like the Nexus 7 2013 and come in around £300.
Otherwise ipad air for me.
Hope they announce it soon.
Google is out of stock on the 16 Gb version. Since I doubt these things are selling like hotcakes now, I hope this means that they have stopped resupply in anticipation of the new one launching.
Pure conjecture.
Would be nice if...
Would be nice if we had some info on it. I've got the original wifi xoom mz604 and I'll say its held up nicely and it does everything I ask it to do, but I've upgraded my phone twice since getting it and I'm ready for the nexus 10 2 (nexus 10 2013?) to drop...or just some info to drop so I can make a decision whether to wait or not.
What I don't understand about product releases is that I would think manufacturers would want to release information as early as possible so that buyers can decide whether to wait and buy their device or to go ahead and buy an available device. I'd think that if someone wants a new tablet and wants to get the newest one available (that suits them), they would research whats available or coming up and make a decision. If i'm gonna buy a tablet today, but I know the nexus 10 2 is coming out in 2 weeks. I'm more likely to wait the 2 weeks and get the newest tablet out there. If theres no info on release date and I need a tablet now, I'll just go buy whats available now instead of waiting indefinitely.
Get the release date and price out there so I can decide to wait or not. Otherwise I'll buy something else today and you'll lose my business. I'm sure there are reasons to not release the info, but as a buyer...I want to know how long I have to wait.
At any rate, I want to switch to Nexus devices...but I'm on Verizon and won't be getting a nexus phone anytime soon I bet. So at least tell me when I can get the tablet...I mean, its my birthday today and I could tell my family just to give me some cash to save up for it instead of asking for something else just to be asking for something...i.e. mom is getting me a briefcase...exciting!
Lay out the release roadmap so I know what to do...please.
So tell me if this is plausible..?
• Google leaked the Nexus 5 @ the Play Store on Oct. 18th then released the device on Oct. 31st thats 14 days from leak to launch.
• Google "SUPPOSEDLY" leaked the Nexus 10 2nd Gen @ the Play Store on Oct. 28th if you count 14 days from the leak that would be a launch date of Nov. 10th....
It makes sense in Googleese.. What do you guys think..?
Nov. 10, 2013...?

I sold mine because of that a while ago..
I just don't understand what is so hard about posting a "tenative release timeline" or if there will ever be another pure google nexus 10" tablet. I originally purchased my first ever android device "SGS3" due to apple being so secretive about the 4s release date and tired of waiting for the next best thing. Well I feel Nexus google is doing the same thing now...so I went back to the dark side for a tablet and purchased the Ipad air 124g version. To keep things in balance on Oct 31 I ordered a Nexus 5 to replace my NoteII !
To sum it up I think google nexus would be well served as to not being so secretive about release dates.....but it is a fine line between the secretiveness and building something up and keep backing up release dates and /or release just a few with very limited supply(AKA some graphic cards for years past).
The rebooting issue happens because of chrome, just don't use chrome and you'll be golden (and frankly mobile chrome is really ****ty, it sucks in every possible way on both iOS and Android)
I doubt they'll release the next N10 any time soon, I'm starting to see the event with the 2014 N7 as a likely date for both tablets.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing but hate beating the dead horse. Some don't like to hear the truth and love to argue.:good:
My point was that they love the rumors spreading around their products, it keeps them in the news. This discussion is a great example. They'll plant the rumours if no one else does. They want people to talk and speculate about their tablet and not the newest tablet from someone else.
Why should they announce the actual release date ahead of time? If it's far away, people who need a tablet soon will buy someone else's tablet. Doesn't Apple do the same thing? I'm sure their marketing dept know exactly what they're doing.

With all the discounted Nexus 10's out there now, I hope something worthwhile is coming! I feel like I got burned buying my GNex last August, a month and a half before the Nexus 4 came out, I am forcing myself to not fall into the same trap again!
I don't think we'll get another nexus 10 until at least middle of next year. Maybe released when we get the next major android update (version 5).
The nexus 10 was quite an investment for buyers. I for one don't plan on shelling out for one for at least another year. If you keep churning out an expensive luxury item at short intervals (big tablets are not massively essential purchases for most people), then you are reducing your potential for repeat sales, whilst pissing some people off who have bought the previous model a bit later before realising a new one was being released so soon.
Only people who have money to burn are going to shell out for a new big tablet every year unless there's a major issue with their current one. And nowadays there are fewer and fewer of those people about due to the financial crisis and job markets.
It's much easier to justify with a cheap product like the nexus 7 for a greater number of people. I essentially bought my nexus 10 to replace my laptop in most functions. I still keep my laptop for updating/rooting my devices and for the very few things that i can't do on my tab but my laptop is 4 years old now and is hardly used. I have a NAS drive that has all my media stored on that can be accessed directly from my nexus/phone and whatever else. For me, this is a keeper for at least another year.

Take advantage if you can find a really cheap one to tide you over! If you buy a used one you won't take much of a hit when the next one does eventually arrive and you re-sell.

I totally agree. I am desperate for there to be a Nexus 10 2nd generation. I'm using a first generation Nexus 7 & it is fab BUT at 16GBs it is way to low in storage (yes I DO need each & every one of those apps & games installed) & I'm desperate for a bigger screen.
What do people think the chances of them giving us a 64GB version N10 2 at release? Assuming of course that they even give us a Nexus 10 2 Generation.
So I'm kind of amazed there isn't a thread on this rumor yet. What better way to reenter the tablet market than with a nexus! For me, personally, this is a dream come true. I think that HTC uses the best displays of any manufacture currently and I would love to see one in a tablet. Maybe a 2k slcd4?

Considering the price of Nexus devices, I don't think HTC, if it makes the next gen Nexus 10, will use aluminum metal body. Samsung already did a good job in terms of build quality of the current Nexus 10.
Hope next gen Nexus 10 can be as light as the iPad Air.

I would take all these rumours with a pinch of salt and then add another sack of the stuff.Wasn't that long ago we were hearing various release date rumours and now we are hearing rumours of a new manufacturer.Basically Google haven't even found a supplier yet let alone a delivery date! Personally I don't think there will be a replacement hence why I bought the old nexus 10 after waiting and waiting and waiting and eventually giving up on RUMOURS of a new device coming soon.I do hope to be prooved wrong though.
I posted a comment about a future Nexus 10 when the current one ran out of stock in US. It was sometime ago, but I'd like to share how the next Nexus 10 should be for me .
(when asked what would the next Nexus 10 should have) For now I will keep my Nexus 10, it's still a beast device as I stated and I like to keep my high end devices for at least 2 years. But there are some things that could be upgraded ^^.
First - More storage. I bought the 32GB and I still think it's not enough. Probably a 64 or 128GB version would be amazing, as it's a media consumption device it requires storage, as not everyone can use cloud services, and a full HD movie is quite big.
Second - Add LTE option like they did with Nexus 7.
Third - Use Snapdragon 805 or Tegra K1 processor, they are true beasts, and tablets need to push more pixels, so a better graphics processor is important.
Fourth - If going with the Tegra K1, it would be an interesting (actually it's more of a dream of mine here, very hard for this to happen now) to have a 4K screen, current Nexus screen is already killer, a 4K would be a mass destruction device lol. While it's still a dream the 4K screen on it, they could make it LED at least, so the complaints of light bleeding would reduce drastically.
Fifth - Samsung, Asus, Sony or Motorola create it. Samsung sucks with software, but the software here would be Google, so it's no problem. Asus proved to be a great tablet developer with the last Nexus 7s. Sony has the most beautiful devices ever, and adding water resistance to a Nexus would be very cool. And Motorola developed Xoom, which is a great device and the godfather of Android tablets, would be great to see them developing a new one. (As rumors seems to be, this one won't be any true lol, but I have expectations that HTC can do a good job too).
Sixth - More RAM would be appreciated ^^'.
Seventh - More accessories at a better price would be of great use too.
And I think it's only that I can imagine for the next Nexus. There aren't main flaws on the current one now. Almost all the problems went away with the KitKat upgrade, and I'm happy with it .

I expect there will be a new Nexus 10 because it is out of inventory and has been for about a month.
If they were not restocking it or replacing it with a new one then why is it even listed on the play store site and why does it say check back soon?
When they no longer make or offer something it is removed from the site.
So it seems obvious that something will replace it.
IMO, the rumors of who will build it have no basis.
The sites who post thees articles get paid by the advertisers.
To get paid they need to draw people to the site.
They write one thing one day and something totally different the next, sometimes contradicting themselves.
Personally I heard Sony will build it at Dell and label it as a Samsung tablet and sell it in an HTC box and it will run Android 7.3 (nestle crunch).
