(Crosspost from SGS forum)
Based on the GT-I9000 SGS for us outside the states, I've had a bash at comparing the Nexus to my Galaxy and put up the differences, improvements and disappointments to try and help anyone on the edge decide which phone is better for them:

I changed from Samsung Galaxy S2 to Samsung Galaxytab 7.7 3G.
In xda-developers forum there are many Roms (Custom and Stock) for the S2 but only a few for the Galaxy Tab 7.7.
What is the reason for this?
Will there be more roms if ICS for Galaxy Tab 7.7 is out?
I dont understand why there are only a few roms for this really great TAB
I think because it is such a new product and also development is focussed on ICS and there is a fair amount of work to port from CM9 from other devices and build a working rom with no issues.
It is close though! I can't wait.
The custom tweaked and stock v3 is soon to be released and if anything like v2 it will be even better and run very well.
Lets support our devoted devs!!!
The answer probably is:
GS II sold a ton of devices (10 millions at least) and was brought to Us early
GT 7.7 is selling few devices and in Us came only trough verizon few time ago

Hi everyone.
What Samsung Smartphone is the best the Galaxy Note 2 or the Galaxy S3?
Chose the best for you. And post why you select that smartphone.
At the end of year we will see the results.
Please participate in the contest.
I voted Galaxy S3 for the following reasons:
It is the perfect size
and other stuff
The reason I did not favour the Note 2 is it is way to big for my liking.

S3. Much more development on the s3 then note 2 , perfect size and perfect weight. Just wait for an S4.
I'd love to swap my SGS3 on Note2. Or Nexus 4 with expandable memory (or 32GB variant...)
My vote goes to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus thanks to the better software and opensource Texas Instruments attitude...
(yes, I recently DOWNGRADED from a i9250 to an i9300 )
The s3 of course, because the Note 2 is too large to be used as a daily smartphone :/
I hope they dont make the galaxy s4 larger than the s3
Try asking in a general forum next time, not an S3 forum.

What's everybody's thoughts on this new phone? I got a little aroused when it was announced (although it's unclear if it will be released in the UK).
In theory it should be the perfect marriage. Top of class hardware with the best version of Android, vanilla AOSP. It will be easy for CM and MIUI to work with, I guess, and should allow developers the same freedom they get with the other Nexus devices.
Is it making anyone else slightly erect and will you be cashing in your S3 to buy one as soon as they're released?

I really don't think this has anything to do with the S3. Also, I think it has been discussed in threads numerous times.

Actually, given that this is the thread for the phone that precedes it, then it would be interesting to understand what S3 users think, considering their next natural choice of phone would be the S4,assuming they had a good experience with the S3. As most people haven't had a good experience with the S3 due to the Exynos driver debacle, I wonder if this is a step in the right direction by Samsung. So that is why I'm asking S3 users like myself specifically. Don't comment if you don't feel it's relevant.

lol.....sorry:silly:
now i found this info so pasted here as it seems relative to us uk'ers
and WOW A GOOGLE NEXUS PHONE WITH MICRO SD?
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Nexus edition could cost as little as £479 if it arrives in the UK. This is based on the current pricing structure of the Nexus 4 when looking at UK/US price differences and then applying it to the US price of the S4 Nexus which is $649.
Taking into account Google will no doubt want to undercut Samsung's current UK price which is as high as £579 at Phones4U one could assume they'd offer this as a way of beating the competition.
Unveiled at Google I/O the Nexus edition is essentially a 16GB Samsung Galaxy S4 but with a few subtle changes including an unlocked Bootloader and a completely untouched version of Android 4.2 with Google promising full software support.
The hardware is the same as that found on the US version of the 16GB Samsung Galaxy S4 which means you'll get a quad-core 1.9GHz processor along with the 5-inch Full-HD display.
There's the same 2GB of RAM found in the Google Nexus 4 along with the same GPU so it's likely you'll be choosing the Google-flavoured S4 for its screen and grunt.
On top of that the S4 has a distinct advantage in the memory and battery department with a larger replaceable 2,600mAh battery and the ability to expand the memory by up to 64GB.
Of course the big advantage is the fac that it comes with a completely un-skinned version of Android 4.2 which means no TouchWiz and of course none of the extra software features such as 'Air View'.
Google has only unveiled one version so far in the form of a white 16GB variant and it's not even clear if the handset will be arriving in the UK, but for those who want an uncluttered Android experience it'll be fingers crossed when the handset is due to land at the end of June.

Hello to one and all !
Unveiled two day's ago OnePlus One is passed into the hands of our friends at Android Authority who had the chance to get their hands on the Killer Flagships. The following three videos which gives us an idea about the design and handling of the new upscale 'cheap' smartphone that will be available (in small quantities to begin with) April 25, 2014. Three comparative tables and a few shots are also there to give you even more information between the technical and visual differences of the four devices.

i really think it's between the 7a and OnePlus One, though I'd add the m8 in that list
for me, I hate samsung phones...Locked bootloaders to hell
Find 7a looks like there won't be a lot of dev support, and the OnePlus One isn't guaranteed support because of cm (think N1)
so, I'd choose the m8 because of the HUGE dev community. all variants of the m8 are basically the same and thus most of the software will work from any of the variants
$350 for a beast I on this the only thing I want for this is a good kernel with faux sound support and this is my father's day gift

Many reasons not to buy the OnePlus One if you want a TOP smartphone.
Many reasons to buy it if you want a very good device at a very good price.
Sorry everyone, but there is already a thread for comparing deviced. Can I ask you to repost this into The Device Comparison Thread.
Thanks!
Hi all..
As you may be able to tell I'm new here. After looking around the Note 4 area of the forums, I've noticed that it is full of Custom ROMs and Kernels, which is great as I'm planning on buying one in a couple of months. What I haven't seen, however, is a whole lot of Dev support for the Galaxy S5 G901F, my current phone. This is baffling me somewhat, as the phones are almost identical inside minus the 3GB RAM of the Note. What is even more odd is that after comparing my G901F to two Note 4 Snapdragons in work today, I noticed that my G901F gave them both a kicking in Antutu Benchmark (50300 for G901F, 47900 for Note 4).
With such similarities between the G901F and the Note 4 Snapdragon, why is it that the Note 4 is being so fully supported by Devs? I thought I'd post it in the Note 4 section as this is theoretically where anyone with the knowledge to answer that will reside.
This wasn't intended as a question but it seems I ticked the box. Could a mod fix it? Cheers.
Hope someone can help
Note is a better and more capable device. Most who try, never go back.
The Note 4 is much more popular.

That's exactly it. Devs only tend to support a phone they own. If there's not many people own your device then there is little support. A lot of note 3 owners were complaining that the eteam released dn4 for the note 2 and not the n3 saying it was an outdated device. The simple answer is none of the eteam owned a note3
