Galaxy S II or Nexus S

I'm trying to decide between Galaxy S II or the Nexus S. Any insights? I like the screen size of Galaxy S II. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

There is no comparison between those two phones, GSII wins all the way. In fact it's the best one out there, I don't see any reason for the Nexus.

Go for the SGSII or wait for the Nexus Prime

if you can afford both then go with the gs2. while the nexus s is actually really fast and works well, it is last years tech and we are already more than half way through this year. the gs2 is very powerful and should provide you with a longer life due to its higher end specs being more compatible with future versions of android.
i personally like the bigger screen and overall feel of the gs2 and have found that the battery lasts longer as well

I have both ))) And both of them perfect ! But ... SGSII is the winner !

I can tell you now the GS2 is the best as it stands now. I've had the Sensation and LG 2X and both don't put a mark on the GS2, so compared to the Nexus S its a no brainer

Nexus S is still based off the SGS1 specs so there is no contest.
If you want the Google experience just install CM7 to the SGS2.

I had a Nexus S and switched to SGS2, there is no contest, the GS2 is better in every way!

i have sgs2 and would love to get Nexus S soon. both will get ice cream for sure! so no sweat which one to get. but sgs2 pawns ever phone atm.

Had this dilemma for a few days before getting SGS2.
Nexus S - super nice body, slick curved LCD; NO HDvideo recording and NO SD card slot !
SGS2 - 1080p video rec, amazing camera, powerhouse, hdmi+otg option, most powerful phone on the market; BUT a bit big (lol), battery lasts only 14hrs moderate use, firmware is a bit wet.

The SGS2 has gotten better in terms of battery usage with the 2.3.4 stock roms so it's not that bad anymore. Light use I can get 4 days on a full charge.

I moved from a Nexus S to an SGS2.
I loved the look and feel of the Nexus S but no removeable storage and no hardware video decoding made me move.
If you are worried about size the SGS2 actually feels smaller and lighter when in your pocket.

I actually find the SGS2 can be a bit awkward to hold depending on how big your hand is. Those with bigger hands will be fine but those with small hands.. the SGS2 is awkward to hold and use with 1 hand.

That's the price you have to pay for a larger display. I do miss the Nexus S' curves

The only phone that can potentially best the SGS II is a new Nexus at the end of this year.
The Nexus S is on the level of (and bests) the i9000.

Potentially. Although looking at the Nexus S... that came out a number of months after the Galaxy S... it still lacks some features that the Galaxy S has. Otherwise it's pretty much the same device.
If they follow the same trend we could be looking at a near SGS2 device as the 3rd Nexus.

Also has green tint. Worse battery. Worse camera. Worse HD recording according to those "reviewers"
FM radio, etc etc.. only thing the nexus has going is software updates and bigger (albeit worse) screen.

I do not really like justifying purchases, but I do not like the Galaxy Nexus because of one reason:
There is no Micro SD card slot.
That kills it for me, all my Gameloft games already fill up my SGS2's internal SD, and I need space for my music and videos, so I'm sorry, I'm not willing to make that compromise.
Galaxy Nexus: 16gb or less
Samsung Galaxy S II: 16gb+32gb = 48gb (Y)

I would buy the galaxy s 2. It's better value for the money if you flash a nice ROM IMO.
Or wait for the S3. It's gonna be awesome

Eh? Is this a statement or question?
If you asking if it has one, or if you are saying it DOESN'T have one, then you're right; the international GS2 (I9100) actually doesn't have one, exactly. At least, not a dedicated search button, like a lot of other Android phones.
You have to long-press the Menu button to get search. This should work in all contexts. I just tried from Home screen, in the Gmail app, the Email app, and the browser.

Galaxy SII any day, it is the best Android...until GSIII arrives

You guys still on this just go buy a nexus already

lol, i believe there is a much more alive and busy thread in the nexus forums with the same question.

Having played with the Nexus it is not worthy enough to get rid of my GS2, however; if i were out shopping today for a new phone I would choose it over the GS2 for the updates and ICS.
Can't wait for ICS

If you can handle a 5.3" screen. I can't think of any reason you should go for Nexus.

If the GNEX had Gingerbread, it would not warrant a second look. The camera is terrible.
ICS is the only advantage to the GNEX. Outside of that, the Note is superior in every way.
(I used to own a GNEX and sold it for the Note for reference)

Note by far, better processor, memory slot plus 16gb internal, better screen, better camera do I need to go on. .. Only.let down no ics but that will be corrected soon

You are posting this question in the note forum so your asking people that most likely haven't used a nexus.
I've got a note and love the larger screen size plus using expandable sd card storage is a judge plus in my eyes. I use a 64gb cars so have plenty of storage for all i need.
I haven't used a nexus but going on specs alone, screen size and sd storage was more then enough reason for me to go with the note. The stylus is a plus too butt i don't use it heaps so to me its not that important.
The camera on the note is great for a mobile phone and from what I've heard the nexus is not as good.
Apart from ICS on the nexus i don't see anywhere else it beats yhe note unless you want a smaller screen.

I think from the specs of both phones that the Galaxy Note is clearly the flagship for Samsung. Look at all the specs including the digitizer and s pen integration and it is clear that once the Galaxy Note gets ICS, the Nexus will be left behind. I mean the GNote can access the Russian GPS system for goodness sakes...!
I had a Nexus S for a short period of time before returning it and the truth is I like some of the touch wiz and Samsung add ons that the Nexus will not have. To me pure android is plain android. Just my perspective though.
If you can deal with the larger size, I say the Galaxy Note is more advanced, more versatile phone. It is clearly the device of 2011 although the Nexus got most the press.

I traded the Galaxy Nexus for a Note. The GNex is a good phone, but the main selling point was ICS. Once I got past the greatness that is ICS, I realized there just wasn't anything else special about it.

The GLONASS is used in Russia. The Note can access those satellites.

I thought the GNote uses the Russian GPS satellites in orbit to augment the readings and positioning by the 24 GPS satellites that the US has in orbit to help get faster more accurate positioning no matter where you are in the world?
Any experts on how the GNote utilizes Glonass?
Edit: Updated with link, pretty cool! Although we do not have a snapdragon processor we have Glonass!!! Galaxy Nexus...not so much...

The inclusion of GLONASS and Barometer is the nail in the coffin for anyone on the fence about the Note. It's a magnificent device - so much better than the GNEX, it's not even funny.

Gnex
- If u cant handle any screen size more than 4.3 inch ( technically 4.6 )
- Want ICS now
Gnote
- Really for everything more
- Biggest adv -Screen, stylus, camera and GPS

I have a galaxy nexus and wish I could get a note but am on T-Mobile USA. I was hoping that the at&t version would be pentaband like the s2 skyrocket but from what I have read, its not.
IMO the note is the perfect device and I'm jealous of all of you. I might pick one up just to use as a ultra portable wifi tablet and tether to my nexus.

Was contemplating a nexus, after it was delayed, had to get a phone, so settled for the note. After couple of months, now I can't absolutely love it. First phone I don't feel like replacing. Played withca friends Nexus, and now find other than ICS, the note blows it away in every other aspect.

Nexus S vs. Galaxy Nexus in "real world"

So recently I was looking at the TELUS store and some electronic places at some accessories and so forth. I can never resist checking out the latest phones out on display and the Galaxy Nexus was all alone so I walked on up to try it out.
I was very surprised to find that my Nexus S (CM9 with all my apps) was actually running far more responsively and cleanly then any Galaxy Nexus I have seen in stor or from a friend!
I know in store phones are always a bad comparison but on my friends Galaxy Nexus phone he had very few apps, and the rest stock but for some reason, it seemed like his phones touch response was just to off for me to like it.
Granted there is a large difference in the displays and Galaxy Nexus is powering a lot more then our Nexus S but keep in mind this is the flagship Android 4 phone, and in my choice, I prefer my Nexus S even considering the step up in processors.
(Before you say anything, I know that Galaxy Nexus has its own ROMs but that still shouldn't be a life saver in this case)
What do you guys think? Have you noticed the same things?

You're comparing a customized nexus s to a stock galaxy nexus. Hardly seems fair. Compare stock to stock and then see if you feel the same way.

No. I get what he's saying. Customized or not the nexus s shouldn't compete. While I don't have a galaxy nexus yet I do have the epic touch 4g.. and no matter what I do to my nexus it will never ever compete with the raw power of the galaxy s II. I would have thought it would have been the same for the galaxy nexus...

I'm pretty sure it is. Some people confuse the longer window animations in the default ICS as meaning the OS is slower. I highly doubt CM9 on a Nexus S is actually more "smooth" than the GN.

The GN is a powerhouse. There's simply no comparison. Of course a tweaked and customized OS is better. Also, the unresponsiveness may be because of the dirty screen from the crap other people put on it trying out the phone.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

I'm pretty surprised that you think that, having handled both myself, there really is no competition, even though I wish my phone could keep up.
As an aside though, the main reason I'm still here with a Nexus S, is because I find the GN to be extremely disappointing. Sure it beats a phone that's well over a year old now, but IMO, can't hang with the S2 at all. I think the S2 will be the big dog until the S3 comes out.

When making comparisons of "smoothness", I think we need to specify what action is being compared. I've never held an actual Galaxy Nexus, so can't comment on that. But my Nexus S with custom ROM & tweaks feels smoother when scrolling menus and snappier when loading apps compared to my brother's Galaxy SII. The SII, though, shows its superiority when playing video.

I've tried a Galaxy Nexus in a store nearby, and it is way more faster than my Nexus S. From unlocking the lockscreen, starting camera app, starting app drawer, loading settings etc. The GN was way more faster than my NS (running a stock based rom at the time)
And it would be strange if a phone running Android 4 on a chipset that was made for it would be less responsive

The gnex is way faster that my nexus s, the only way I even saw my nexus get close to the same speed was by overclocking it to 1.6 ghz, and even then the gnex destroyed it
I wouldn't get it tho, I agree with an earlier post about the galaxy s2 being more desirable than the gnex.
I mean look at how fast our nexus s got outdated, only a year ago this was the flagship gb phone that was supposed to be the best. gnex being the flagship 4.0 phone will be the same way, give it 2-3 months and something twice as crazy as the gnex will be announced, and at the rate of smartphone development with quad core being the next big thing the gnex will be outdated in less than a year

Sadly, just like any smartphone on the market
But what I love with Nexus'es is that, even after a year or more, it's still supported like the first day and you always can profit of the last ROM's. Just look at the Galaxy S to see that it's not always so with non-Google phones of the same generation.
Still loving my Nexus S, even if I wouldn't say no to a Galaxy Nexus, especially for the HD display and the HDMI out

Whose build you are using on the Nexus plays a big part in how fast and smooth ICS is on Nexus. I flash one and it feels a little slow and almost choppy. Then I flash another and it flies and is so smooth. You can't go wrong with aokp, irtehun, or BuglessPete on Nexus. Can't say how it compares to GNex though

Significant and Suitable Upgrade from SGS2!

I do have a biased opinion about having a nice large screen. I guess I prefer (Phablets but still undecided on how I feel about the Galaxy Note 2 and the DNA as the size is a little bit large. That doesn't mean it is a NO from me just yet)
So if you are like me. You have had your SGS2 since launch. Soon after this, they released the Galaxy Note 1 and then SGS 3. Both have advantages over the S2 for different reasons but still not *UNIQUELY DIFFERENT* enough from the SGS2 to make the change for myself. I am still keeping in mind that both of these said phones "might be better" especially the SGS 3, however just not quite enough to push me over the edge. In fact it somewhat stalled and got me thinking if Samsung were pushing these phones out fast then it is only going to be a matter of a couple of months before we see something that does *WOW* me.
Well I was right, as you will see below is a list of the new upcoming phones that are all awesome and worthy of a genuine upgrade over the SGS2, Don't get me wrong I was very tempted to upgrade earlier but managed to hold back because of the awesome and continued community support for our phone.
Below is the list of phones I have my eye on, just in case anybody out there wasn't aware of these options. I am here today to show you (After googling and reading forums which could have been done by you, but let's face it some people are just lazy + I want to hear what you guys think!)
HTC Droid DNA(Butterfly)
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
LG Nexus 4
Sony Xperia Odin / Yuga(Dogo) Some more info about the rumoured Sony devices
Here is a rough comparison chart of the Nexus 4 / Note 2/ HTC DNA. Unfortunately the Sony devices are still up in the air so it is not covered. Here is another comparison but this time only between the Note 2 and the DNA
Which phone have you got your eyes on? Any other recommendations would be great! I am starting a poll out of these phones

The note is far too big and far too heavy.

Check here mate.
I think the Note 2 is like .5 of an inch larger. There are some conflicting measurements across different sites

The Underling is currently using a Note, so unlike most of the other opinions served up by people when these threads spring up, his is based on actual experience using the device in question.

The Nexus 4 seems to be winning the poll right now too. I am amazed that nobody has selected Sony though. Only 1 person for the DNA. Interesting! I would love to see how this progresses
I just wish the Nexus 4 had a 32GB option, 4G and a larger battery, if it was removable then you could at least slap a bigger one in there!

One reason to get the note 2...
I love this thing, you get used to the size after a while. In time it becomes natural and a smaller screen becomes a chore. If you like watching media or browsing on your device its a no brainer..
And the battery life is phenomenal...

I agree. Note 2 is just an amazing device with great battery life and amazing screen

im choosing between sony and google nexus phone. if i have to get a larger screen then i'd rather get N7 for that..

I have no allegiance to any manufacturer so whatever the best specced phone at the time of contract end or upgrade.
