Can someone help me decide between these two. I know the specs but I haven't used one which one would you recommend

S3
I have the S3 and it is a good phone but since i don't have the G pro I can't compare between them.
Regarding the S3, Samsung will soon stop updating its software so I would recommend the S4 or upcoming S5 if they fit your budget.
Another option is a nexus 5 for vanilla android experience.
Yeah that's the problem my budget is low
Im getting a g pro for my s3 if I pay twenty dollars
I have all accessories but that only has a charger but the condition is supposed to be good

Hello.
So, Yeah. I'm going to get something new.
After I had unfortunate accident when my Droid RAZR broke in my pocket without any crash, I'm receiving new one for warranty and decide to change something, because I hate when phone breaks without reason
I live in Poland, so I need something that reach europe.
What I need... Specs comparable with RAZR (CPU and RAM. Some nice GPU would also be nice), Screen at least same quality as it and overall nice quality.
It would be also welcome to be easily moddable with decent amount of Custom ROMs for it. Official/Unofficial CM support is also welcome.
And one more thing. No SGS2. I'm tired of it.
So. Any propositions?
Thanks in advance!
Galaxy S II is old, why would anyone suggest it with the Galaxy S III is out? If you're tired of Samsung then go for an HTC One X. If not, the Samsung Galaxy S III is waiting to love you. I'd suggest a Nexus but you seem to be pretty content with rooting and ROMs so I guess it isn't necessary.
How about Galaxy Note 2? Supposed to be announced at end of month

If you like rooting and roming, go with the Nexus. Otherwise, Galaxy S III or One X.
Ooh, go for the Xperia gx. Actually, scratch that. I don't think it's available in Europe yet... maybe the acro s... damn I'm not really sure when it comes to Europe.

go for the one X, but rooting it might be a bit difficult, if so, then go with a nexus!
I would suggest a Galaxy Nexus. Nexus devices always get the official updates first and will be supported for a long time (for example: Nexus S got JellyBean, Galaxy S which has almost the same hardware has not even gotten official ICS...)
Get Galaxy Note 2. It will be released in few days.
Galaxy s3 is an awesome choice too.

The nexus s is very close in spec to your RAZR. The camera isn't as nice, but fantastic device none the less. You can get them cheap right now too.
The SGS3 is an incredible device. It blows away the RAZR in performance from every angle.

The nexus does not have a good camera, but if you get one knowing that, the rest of the device is superb.

Thanks for all replies. I think that I'll go with Nexus. However I've got one question about it. I heard that it doesn't have Gorilla Glass display. Can anyone say something about its resistance for little scratches?
Nexus S

If you can get a Galaxy S III go for it because Samsung just came out with the official jelly bean OTA , otherwise Galaxy Nexus ftw...
The Galaxy Nexus does not have a gorilla glass display , only a scratch resistant one...I haven't really tested mine by putting it in my pocket with my keys lol, but If you get a decent screen protector you won't have any problems...
Gorilla Glass is a big plus , but its a small price to pay for the software experience you're getting out of this phone...Pure AOSP Android experience , you will get the latest updates FIRST, and not have to wait like with the SIII for example...or any other phone for that matter...
Plus its a pretty powerful phone..well worth its money right now if you don't care about the mediocre camera...(which I personally think is fine...1080p video at 30fps , with decent lighting it records great... Photos are OK as well so...)
OR if you're good at waiting you can wait for the new nexus to come out that might have a GG display, but Google hasn't even announced it officially yet so...

I am looking at unlocked gsm phones that I can use for straight talk. I am looking for one with decent amount of roms and such. I am looking for one within 0 to maybe 150 preferably on price range.

At one time I was thinking about the HTC wildfire s but dunno if there is a better phone than that for around the same price.

I recently got a factory refurbished Nexus S off ebay in your price range. An older phone that you can run Jellybean on for 150 is hard to beat.
Hello all. I am Selling my 5 months old s3 and thinking for optimus G.
Xperia z, htc 1, sgs4 are out of my budget.
Plz suggest me any other model if u want to. Also I think op g will be better upgrade over s3.
Thanks.

Lg is good. My first droid was optimus net which is still working good. Also op g has build quality. Looks. Performance. I am not a brand hater or brain washed by sammy.

Just go with your feelings, if you like galaxy, then stick with it, if you like optimus, go for it.
Personally think both phones are flagship level, performance different are minimum, just different by outside looking
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
depends on your needs..performance wise,they are alike.but why change phone if u are satisfied with what u got,if not satisfied,then by all means change it..
If I were looking at something like the Optimus G, I'd probably go with the Nexus 4 instead.

Nexus 4 not available in india. So pp g is best suited.

you should order nexus 4 example from usa but that just my opinion
I would stick with my S3 for sure, why change whats good ?

well s3 is good but not the best in my opinion. if the thing is not giving u satisfaction then it doesn't matter at all that the phone is so popular & so costly & bhal bhal.......
For me i am not really happy wid s3. multitasking sucks. plastic feels so cheap. always have fear in mind of sudden death, only my thoughts.
So i want to change it.
Just curious to see what you guys think of the upcoming nexus 5, planning to buy? Why or why not

I am planning on it because ive been waiting 2 months since my last phone broke go get it. It's also a lit cheaper (hopefully) then competition with similar specs and should have newest android version first. Badically.all the advantages of a nexus

I've got my HTC One and I cannot give up the aluminum body and front speakers. Unless the N5 really knocks my socks off I'll be sticking with a GPE ROM on the One

Not really sure, my One S is still actually working perfectly. Will have to see what it costs once it gets to Norway.
All depends on how good the camera is. Pretty happy with my S3, so it would have to be significantly better than that.

Not upgrading.. N4 is still fine.. N5 is a marginal upgrade at best.. Skipping a generation is always best unless you're a gamer or benchmark junky.
Selling my GS4 and picking one up. I'll miss having a external memory card and battery, but pure google without rooting is calling me.
I found a deal that would get me a Galaxy S3 or an Xperia ZL at the same price, the S3 is new, and the Xperia ZL is a used one. I've been having many problems with my Galaxy Nexus lately and am looking for a suitable replacement.
Which one is a better option?

Yeah, that I know. But I'll be getting the international version if I get the S3.

Thats a tough decision. I have stopped trusting Sony in matters of support since they messed up with their update policy regarding the 2010-2011 phones. If i had to choose now between the two brands i would definitely go for Samsung (which i did )
I honestly don't mind not getting official updates as long as there are smooth CM builds of the latest version. So yeah.. And the only reason I don't like Samsung is their design and popularity.
Btw, how does the Battery on these 2 phones compare?
