Photon or SGSII - Epic 4G General

I know it is hard to compare a phone that is out with one that isn't but I would like some opinions and hard fact comparison information between these two phones. Especially when it comes to screen clarity and speed. Yeah I'm asking alot but I am getting the "new phone" itch. Also, what do you all think is a fair price to ask for a refurb Epic4G?

100 bucks would be a faire price
SincE somewhere on these forums they asked the same question and sprint is selling them for 120 refurbished
Gs2 has a better screen hands down
Speed wise gs2 still wins because it has a 1.2 ghz dual core exynos while photon has 1 ghz dual core something processor I think

Played with the photon today. There's absolutely no way I would get that phone. The screen in my personal opinion is crap compared to my epic. Forget comparing it the the samoled plus on the Gs2. And it didn't feel that snappy either.

[Q] Should I buy MyTouch 4G with my 200$?? or something else?

hi all.
should i buy MY4G with my 200$
or is there a better phone for 200$?
I want a FAST Android phone.
i have the G1 ATM.
and i saw that the MY4G is really good.
what do you think i need to buy with your experience with this phone?
I had the g1.
Traded for a mytouch.
Was faster in my experience. And loved the ffc

Depending on whatS more important to you. Do you Carr if you have a physical keyboard? Larger screen? Cause to be honest most phones are around the 1.MHz to 1.2mhz and m then you have the dual core. I love the mt. It can literally do anything. Just the other day I blew up a car with it. Pretty badass.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
i would recommend either the mt4g slider or the sensation but are new phone and personally i think they are the 2 best phones t-mobile has. they are both $200 i think.if you want netflix on it then deffinately go with the my touch 4g slide it's on sale right now on the site and comes out in like a week in the stores, so hold on and wait for that one if you want a my touch phone
The only problem for you would be getting MT4G at a price of $200 (assuming that your declared location is correct, which means you won't be buying a contract deal with T-Mobile, but paying full cash for the phone - in which case it'll cost you $450 with T-Mobile or a bit cheaper - just a bit below $400 - on eBay).
Personally, I think it's the most cost-effective phone on the market right now.
just wait for a month or so and get some dual core action when they are more mainstream

This phone can be troublesome with the chance of a bad screen/chip, I would just go for a dual core phone, they're faster and have better battery due to the way 2X cores work compared to 1 core devices. They will have better support for longer. But I'm waiting to get a new device when the Nexus 3 is around or Ice cream sandwich is out. When ICS is out they will have 720P res and no more HW buttons according to the news. And Quad-cores are in the works so it's really up to you, I would save my money up and stay with the G1, you had it this long so why not wait a little bit more? This phone is nice, but it's defiantly showing it's age now, official support will be dropped for this in a few months i'm guessing for the MT4GS and the successor for the MT4G, maybe MTHD or something.

I came from a g1 and it lasted me 15 months b4 i decided i needed a faster phone and it really was painfully slow compared to phones out these days, i lucked out and got a sweet deal on my current mt4g phone(even tho it has bad emmc chip, i still got a good display and no problems so far...) on craigslist. Which saved me my upgrade that's in august, but now that i have the mt4g it's really not as hard to decide to wait on the Hercules, Nexus 3 or whatever else is around the corner in 2012
Wait it out a bit longer if you've decided on the mt4g the slide is dual core beast, even the sensation will be fully unlocked and available to public in days.
Ace has a good point tho

Because you don't know what issues the Slide has then I wouldn't tell someone that this phone would be less troublesome. The Mytouch 4G could turn out to be a G2X, awesome phone if you have one that works. I'm sure everyone said the screen was great on the Mytouch, until they started comparing, and how long did it take to start noticing the very minor problem of the chips?
Get a MT4G from Craigslist... I always see them going for about 150-200$. Then keep that until the merger. That way you can get a phone with the appropriate bands. No use in using your upgrade then having the phone to be unusable within 8 months.

You don't say? That's like saying you traded up to a Corvette from a Yugo, and what do you know, the Vette was faster!
Hercules is gonna be ATT ready if the merger does go thru, so unless HTC makes the next nexus phone and has similar if not better specs then Samsung Hercules I'm upgrading to some super amoled + greatness.

Only thing the infuse has in common with the hercules is the 4.5 inch screen and internal storage, the hercules has:

The nexus prime is suppose to have a 720P HD screen, ICS, no buttons on front, super amoleds, OMAP4460 @1.5GHz. It looks really nice too with no buttons.

[Q] Phone choosing

What phone should i buy from this: atrix 4g, galaxy s2, sensation, optimus 3d?
What other phone you recomand me?(no evo 3d,is to expensive).
Which is the coolest phone?
well since your in the atrix section you will get a million votes for the atrix. but only you can decide,, dont follow hype, choose what you like the best. thats my advice.
I'd say between sgs2 and Atrix.....probably sgs2 if you don't mind paying $150 more. Right now the Atrix being only $50 is in all honesty the best deal I've seen for a phone bring as powerful as it is.
One thing also is the battery life is way better on the atrix also because the SAMOLED screen in the sgs2 sucks battery like it's going out of style, but looks good while doing it.

are you getting T-Mobiles SGS II? (Hercules)

Long time reader, occasional poster.
Well, it seems as if it is time to move on from my amazing Vibrant. I have had this for about a year now and it has been my best and favorite phone to date. The devs have been amazing, and everyone on these forums have been fantastic as well.
This isn't a good by, just curious to see if any of you are moving on, and what your thoughts are on it? I would love to see some Team Whiskey on the Hercules, some CM7 love (thats a given), and even some Einherjar Dev's on the new phone.
So what do you say? Will i be seeing more of you in the near future?
Not to the SGS2.
I'm waiting for the Google/Samsung conference event next week and that will decide that. If Verizon is gonna have the exclusivity on the Prime for more than 6 months, I will pick up an HTC Amaze 4G. If not, I will wait 1-3 months and get the one phone to rule them all- Nexus Prime.
T-mobile's SGS2 is a tad outdated in its camera department, screen resolution, and audio output. It's a nice phone but the Amaze 4G is just a hair better imo due to it's back-lit illuminated camera. Nexus prime...well that's nexus prime. Obliterates every phone is just about every department.
I'm quite happy with my Vibrant for now though. CM7 themed beautifully and incredible usability coupled with 1.5Ghz CPU, 1800mah Samsung genuine battery, 32GB microSD +16 internal for 48GB total, audiophile-grade audio out, and impressive screen and form factor? Sorry but this phone is just now at its full potential and I see no reason to upgrade. 3400 Quadrants and no lag anywhere.
iPhone 4S or Nexus Prime, depending on Coverage and Price. I'm leaning towards the iPhone because the Battery Life is great, iCloud is good, and they have a better ecosystem than Google.
However, the rumored hardware in the Nexus Prime is enticing. If it's on T-Mobile, though... I'm gonna have to pass. Dunno why Google keeps launching Nexus phones on T-Mobile. They have the worst coverage of hte 4 carriers, by far.
I'm moving in a few weeks, so I'll have to wait and see how it all pans out...

NOPE, Hercules is going to be Vibrant part 2. Another phone with zero updates/support, especially since it is different from all the other SGS2 phones.
Nice phone, but nope. I rather get Amaze over Hercules.
Waiting for prime though.
I will be getting the hercules because it is Samsung!

Coverage depends where you at. Also T-Mobile is developer friendly. Cyanogen and his team have gotten free phones and tablets to develop on for t-mobile. I don't know what your talking about but Google cloud system is far superior than icloud. Battery life will always be great on a device that can only take low speed 3g. Hspa+,LTE,Wiimax all use higher bandwidth than. Which cause more battery drain. To be specific T-Mobile coverage on the east side is better than at&t and Sprint coverage. On the west aide at&t is has better coverage. Also Verizon has the best coverage all around but be ready to pay an arm and a leg.

If this is using quadrant this makes me think that Samsung change Qualcomm cores from asynchronous because one this picture and the one from Tmonews.com score higher than the other variant from TELUS. I'm getting it day one.

Sprint has bad service and doesn't really penetrate walls Hspa+ speeds get the same as wimax speeds. Not to mention T-Mobile has lower ping speeds as well. Let's not mention that if your phone breaks you need to buy a new phone instead of just switching sim cards. This phone is also fully aws compatible. As for throttling I never reached the cap to be throttle and all my apps sync every 5 minutes. Unless your tether all day and streaming YouTube or some video app you never reach it.

The future looks very bright for Samsung. They have Cyanogen on board now which means more source code releases from Sammy and early CM8 release for Galaxy S2. Sammy has better hardware, better screen than HTC and thinner form factor. Im getting the S2 on Oct 12th.
I love the Nexus Prime too but apparently its a Verizon only release (which is why they dont have a Galaxy S2 model) and I dont want to wait 6 months for a GSM version to be released. Also there is word that Ice Cream Sandwich release is being pushed back.
I think I'm gonna wait for the prime. The Hercules seems great with a beefed up cpu but i can see driver problems in the future.
I wanted to get the Samsung Note but that seems that it will only come to at&t.
I don't see myself leave Tmobile anytime soon due to I use over 5g of data a month, I live in the east cost so all networks are about the same, also free tehrering and sum card switching.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm going to be moving on to the next Nexus device, especially if it ends up on Verizon. I have been loyal to T-Mo for a loooong time, but as much as I travel, I need a network that is faster in more places (I spend a lot of time wishing I even had EDGE). I already have a VZW MiFi, and I depend on it. Running CM7 with no WiFi Calling can often leave me in the dust on cell reception.
I've always been a fan of Samsung hardware, but I'm not a fan of Touchwiz and the speed of updates. Not just from Samsung, but any manufacturer that is applying their own framework to the mix. I really, really enjoy tinkering with things, and if there's one thing I've learned from my Vibrant (which is my first Android phone) it's that not having a pure Google phone really hinders the process.
That said, if Verizon gets an ACTUAL Nexus device (pure Google) with LTE, then I'll move on over. If not, I'll cross my fingers and hope T-Mobile gets it like they always do and I'll just stay put. Swapping to AT&T or Sprint isn't in the equation, even if they somehow were the only one's with the "Prime". I won't swap if LTE isn't in the equation since here, locally, T-Mobile beats the pants off of EVDO in the speed department.
I honestly believe that people put to much hype into phone specs. No one can tell the difference between processors or much of anything else under the hood. It's fun to talk about and I enjoy geeking out about it all, but hardware changes every 6 months anyway. If you're buying a device based purely on hardware specs, you'll always be disappointed when the next thing comes out 3 months later.
i'll probably kill any one at the store to get one on the release date
okay... kill is a bit overboard, but a would not mind pushing people aside, or jump on them to get it muahahahahaha

same here, i wanted also the Prime and Note
unfortunately Prime will not be available on GSM anytime soon it seems
and the Note is only on the normal GSM frequency that is not AWS compatible
so that's why the SGS2 Hercules is the best toy until Nexus 3 Prime becomes available on AWS bands
No, I wont get any US version GSII
Id love to get one to work on...but im broke so probably not =/
I'm getting it, I'm pretty tired of my vibrant, this is the longest I've had my phone lol, so definitely wanting something new.

2. Motorola Photon 4g
3. Nexus S 4g

I've got the photon (had it for about 6 weeks) and can say that it's a great phone. Runs smooth as butter. The only issue i've had was some overheating, but that was my fault and not a hardware or OS issue.
If I had the option of switching, I would turn it down and stay with the photon.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I'm leaning more toward the Photon but, the Epic is close.
The manager told me that the Photon is better suited for the network expansion Sprint is planning on.
I've had the photon and now epic touch 4g, and they are both great phones on their own respect.
The photon has better cell reception than the epic and has great call quality. The epic is ok, just not photon quality. If you do alot of multitasking and web browsing the epic is blazing fast and you won't experience no lag whatsoever. The photon is a great phone but when multitasking it became a little laggy, but not a deal breaker. As far as screen resolution, imo the epic edges out the photon. Even though the photon has better resolution the epic just looks better. I don't know how this was achieved but the super amoled+ is nice.
Build quality the photon was nice and felt good in hand. the epic is nice and I really like the slim proflle. It is a huge screen but I like it, since I have big hands its not hard to handle. Either way both phones are great and won't be disappointed with which one you decide go with.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Epic Touch is a monster phone. I've become attached to Samsung since the original Epic 4G due to the Super Amoled screen. You just can't get enough of it.
Still haven't made up my mind on which one to get. Why does it have to be so difficult!
If you want android, it's the (possible) Nexus Prime.
But I'm lusting after the HTC Arrive. I had one for a week and I loved it.
Get the best of the best. Epic 4G Touch or the iPhone 4s.
I'm in the same boat as you.
The key differences are:
Photon has a better radio and has a gsm radio as well
Photon's built is heavier in a good way
Photon has pentile display which causes pixalated effect.
Epic has a better SoC including graphics and Cpu
ram is the same i don't know about nand though. Epic will prolly have a better dev community though but the photon has an alpha of cyanogen's out.
Nexus s is still a solid phone but if getting a pure google experience wait a month for the nexus prime announcement. (maybe the price of the current phone will drop a bit?)
Well, we didn't go with Sprint. Said they would give me 5 lines if we faxed some paperwork to them. Did that and, the manager at Sprint corporate took 5 line offer away.
Said I could only have 3 lines right now and add 2 more in a year.
Went to Verizon and got 5 lines no problem. I can tell you Verizon 4g is no joke.

you probably no longer qualified after they reviewed the paper work,i like when people leave things out but anyway, back to the topic at hand, go with the photon, i work at sprint, and messed with all 3 phones, the photon has the best radios, signal, battery life, right out the box!!! a lot of people say there's no development, but think of it this way, if the phone was perfect out of the box, why would there be development??? lol, but i digress, sprint offers the best plans with NO data caps OR speed restriction, just one fee, and your in the world of unlimited!!!!!

Atrix 2 question

I am currently the owner of a Samsung galaxy s2 and I have to return it for a screen defect. (Third time) question is this, how different in specs is the atrix 2 and the sgs2? I'm just tired of returning this phone LOL.
The atrix is comparable to the s2. The atrix has an hd screen, but the galaxy screen is more vibrant and .5" bigger . Speed wise they are both fast.
This should be in Q&A btw
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Atrix 2 Screen
Is actually 4.3 inch qHD non pentile screen with 540 x 960 resolution and the SGSII is 4.3 Super AMOLED Plus screen with 480 x 800 resolution.
Both are dual core processors, 8 mp Cameras and both shoot in 1080p video.
I have had and Atrix and currently have a SGSII. The resolution on the Moto is indeed higher and the screen on the Samsung is very vibrant! I hear the screen on the Atrix 2 is non pentile and pretty amazing. At 99 on contract and 450 off contract, the Moto should get some attention.
I will be going by to see one later today as a possible since I still have a few weeks to return my SGSII. Will watch some netflix and shoot some video etc. I am very interested in battery life and Moto says the battery on the Atrix 2 last longer than the Atrix. My Atrix battery was a brute and so far not so impressed with the SGSII battery for my usage patterns.
Yeah I'm in line at the store now. Ill
let you know.
Does anyone know if best buy will price match AT&T's off contact price?
Nope, lol, best buy does their own thing for off contract cell phones.
No blur phone for me anymore. Had the Atrix and was disappointed. It was never really snappy. Lots of delays and lags on the GB update. Liked the built quality. I will buy a Motorola again when they dump blur or make a Nexus device.

Well let's think about that for a moment. Some people only have less than 30 Days to get it on contract. Most people can't just shell out Full Price for a phone and some Just got back to AT&T and signed a contract and are almost out of their 30 day grace period. Just to mention a slight reason people might do this.

That's why I picked up an iPhone 4s. Problem is I had to get a 32gb. I figured I should be able to trade it for any device that comes out in the next 6 months.

I was thinking about doing this too. The value of the phone doesn't decrease. So upgrade to a 32gb and later when the prime is released sale the damn thing for 500+. But idk..

I'd just wait for the Sypder or an other moto. Atrix 2 isn't the top of the line phone like the atrix was.

The Nexus S on AT&T came out 9 months after it was released on T-Mobile. So you will have 8 months from now to enjoy your Atrix2 until the prime gets released on ATT. Lol Pretty good.;-)

Yes it is true hdmi mirroring however when I play videos on it with hdmi mirror it plays like crap on my tv, go figure. Moto gives you one thing but screws it up one way or the other.
Also internal storage isnt accessible on the phone. So you have to use a sd card.

Not for long I bet. I think google will make moto its main android line soon. Samsung is planing to make their own platform and since google bought moto it just makes sense to me. Hopefully they off blur and redesign moto to be apples top competition.
