Galaxy s vs nexus s

Hello galaxy folks,i wanted to ask your opinion , if I should sell my galaxy s and buy a nexus s, because gradually the developers are moving on to the nexus s for android development, and other then the aesthetic appeal of nexus s it's pretty much the same as galaxy s, what do you guys think i should do? your replies would be appreciated

Nexus s is a step down in my opinion,
No fm radio
No micro sd slot
Gorilla glass is missing too... (even though i still use a phantomskinz screen protector anyway)
Also, my friend has a nexus s, it doesnt feel as good, and its april and he still doesnt have the 2.3.3 update.

Ahahaha
@OP No for sure not, and there is many threads like this here.
General public decided that Nexus S is not a better choice in no direction over the SGS.
Now its SGSI vs SGSII where there are advantages of SGSII much clearer but wouldnt make me to switch to it.
I change my phone when there is some improvement for me. <<< for me.
As the SGSI is pretty fast the SGSII has no real advantage for me (not playing games) and the design I have now I am happy with it. Also there comes the pain with new phone new software etc.
For me one and only deciding factor will be the screen resolution. (now the htc sensation)

Micro SD missing on ANY phone is an Automatic Dealbreaker for me. (I don't care if the phone can make me coffee in the morning, and have a pizza on the table when I come home)
Heck even some of my old Krusty RAZR Phones laying around have Micro SD support. I'm not gonna give that up just because some company wants to save a few bucks.
Galaxy S vs Galaxy S II will be the real debate this year. The only thing that concerns me about the Galaxy S II is battery life, but we'll see how that turns out after the phone is launched...

Nexus S and Galaxy S are virtually the same. Galaxy II should be the object of desire now..

Thanks a bunch for the reply guys, surprisingly the nexus S owners have pretty much similar opinions about the exchange, plus id have to pay a little more then a $100 for the transaction, anyhow, the thing thats particularly itching me right now is the factory built EXT 4 FS that Nexus S has or the pretty much similar outlook and speed to the best custom rom Cyanogen mod 7 on the Galaxy S, not that its not good on the Galaxy but it has its glitches whereas nothing of that sort on the Nexus S, am i right to think this?

Wrong. SGS is stable on ext4 . 2.3.3 stock and any ext4 kernel and SGS will be flying like they say here.

hmmm, i believe your right there, the hardware is identical so i wouldnt be upgrading in that sense

I quite like the more rounded appearance of the nexus s lol

It looks better but isn't much of an upgrade so I'd just leave it if i were you.

Yep, I can't decide either.
Nexus S (Samsung i9023, ~€400)
+ pure Android, fast, frequent and official updates
+ officially moddable
- big and heavy
+ LCD display
- no SD card slot
- no fm radio
- no GPS (I sent mine back after a few days because the GPS was so bad that it might as well not have been there.)
Galaxy S (Samsung i9000, ~€340)
- TouchWiz, updates depend on the community
+ for all intents and purposes just as moddable
+ very light and compact-looking
- AMOLED display with PenTile matrix
+ SD card slot
+ fm radio
+ surprisingly decent GPS
Both have Voodoo sound.
If you already have an SGS, stick to it, the NS is basically the same phone. It'll stay on the market for a while and only get cheaper, so if community support for the SGS should really wane, you can still get it, and probably for less. At least wait a few weeks till it's clear if the SGS2 is a worthy heir - then choose between that and the NS.

@fallenguru,
Thanks , with your advice and the majority of everyone who replied here,ive made my mind to stick with galaxy s for a while atleast until NS is cheaper

Really? Why?

Because the SGS1's PenTile matrix more than negates any positive properties its SAMOLED screen might have, at least for me. See http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news...exus-ones-screen-science-color-and-hacks.ars/ for pics and technical details.
I guess it depends on an individual's perception. Some people hear the compression artefacts in mp3s, some don't. (I mostly don't.) Some don't see or don't mind the artifacts PenTile matrix produces, others do. Unfortunately, I do.

sorry for being off topic but something to share

S2 has better camera, external storage option and better Processor.

have an ipod for Music.. but off course will prefer good sound quality on cell phones when i am paying so much

Personally, Nexus all day for me. ICS is by far the best iteration of android and you'll get the real deal with the nexus, not some skinned, bloated version. Also, better screen for web browsing, and apparently better sound quality for music.
The SGS2 was and still is a fantastic phone, but the game has been moved on IMO.

If I should have invested another 20$ before I would have a better screen and updated software
Gnex.

there's a huge difference in quadrant scores, and in higher end gaming =S there are currently games only available through samsung apps on the SGS2 because it has a superior GPU as of right now
The Gnex unfortunately got shafted with the camera and processing hardware... everything else is pretty good.

Screen nicer on Galaxy Nexus but I don't think I could live with 16GB storage. Very happy with my SGS2 with 16+32GB

I got a SGS2 and its a great phone.
But i have to say, if you are interested in development, go for the Galaxy Nexus.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

You need to think about practicality. If you use your phone a lot searching the web and watching videos, then the GalNex is the best choice (maybe you could consider the Note). Also software wise the GalNex is the winner too because it will most likely have a longer period when it will recieve updates. Also is better for development.,On the other hand if you want a power-house, take photos and movies with your phone daily and play games with more "advanced" graphics smoother you should consider the S2 (or again, the Note). In the end they are both great handsets. It onlymatters how practically you find them using on day by day schedule.

I will try to sell my SGS2 to get a Nexus. Samsung is starting to annoy me with their dev "support" and I would like a Nexus device. I'm personally changing because of dev and rom support and of course the screen looks great. As for 16gb, I've been using a 16gb iPhone for 3 years and just now it's starting to be just slightly small but I can easily manage.

It's nothing really. I knew nothing about Voodoo so I thought it was a mod. Realised it was an app that is available on Google Play and will be available when it is available.

No, they aren't all on HOX, in fact most aren't. Watch again.
HTC doesn't have s-beam.
S-beam isn't NFC, it uses NFC to start a Wi-Fi direct connection to transfer files.
HOX doesn't have it.
You should take your own advice and read more before you post about something you don't understand.
Same specs? Don't think so.
S3 beats the **** out of HOX.

Go back to the HOX thread
I had the One X and after a day with the S3 i can say i kills the One X in so many ways. Usebility, sound, screen, so many different options you can choose, better email client, better keyboard, much much better battery life. Don`t get me wrong, the One X isn`t a bad phone at all but the S3 is superior to it.
I have 5,5 hrs. screentime after the 1st charge :victory:
Click to expand...

Both email clients have their advantages over the other. The gs3 is a great phone but:
The screen is nowhere near as readable in bright conditions (and the dark themes are not helping)
The radio on the One X is heaps better. Has more bars and I can make calls where the Samsung drops out.
Haven't quite decided which one to keep and other than the above points the differences are not that not (except the sd card and battery of course)
Don't know why people bag the gs3 design either.....I think it's just fine!

If Samsung had put the best materials in SG3, would not discuss what the best phone. That's my opinion.

Yesterday Ive put galaxy s3 and hox side by side with a friend and now my friend wants too trade, but I still don't Luke Samsung
I don't like the design, the GPS performance and the UI. Still a lover for sense. Inside on an old building ive got 2bars off network and none on samsung. I make a call and didn't work on samsung.
Bluethoot integracion with my fiat works better with hox than samsung. For some reason I can't copy my contacts from samsung to my car, that's kill me.
Htc have much more options for personalization than galaxy s3. Ok we can put cm9 and miui and transforme this phone's completly and turn daily use the same cheat
The things I like on samsung its only 3. Dialer with 3g video call, better camera on video and the back speaker its much better
That's my review

Do u think it is worth to upgrade S3 from S2?

Just discuss
my opinions are, S3 is more ugly tbh
and there are not many huge improvement from S2(unlike S1>S2)
so i m still stick with my S2 now
as i think it is still very useful and the size fit my best

not worth to change, just wait and get s4 or note 2

honestly, no.

Exactly, he isn't even posing in the development forum so he's allowed to talk about stuff that isn't related to development.
The s2 is still a great phone and holds its own even compared to the s3. If you can afford to upgrade it's worth it for the screen alone but it won't be a life changing experience.
The s2 will still be perfectly relevant for the next 12 months though so there is no point upgrading if you don't want to spend the cash.
The only reason I got one is I became frustrated with the limited storage capacity of the galaxy nexus. If I had an s2 I may not have bothered and now that I have an s3 I may just skip the s4 and get an s5.

In your position I would wait for the next Nexus to be released. The hardware will probably be close to the SGS3 with stock Android.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I went from S2 to S3, so I'll give you my opinion:
- S3 looks much better to me. I generally prefer curved phones to rectangular ones. I have the so called blue version, which actually is gray and looks much much better than the pictures on reviews.
- S3 is actually easier to hold in your hand because it's curved and it doesn't have any thick parts like S2's bottom.
- S3 has a much larger screen without having a much larger case. It still fits in my pocket and can be used single handedly, so the extra screen size is all good.
- S3 has a much faster camera. Zero shutter lag makes a big difference.
- S3 has the best battery life I've seen in a phone. I torture it all day with heavy use and when I get home I still have 40%. My S2 had to be charged during the day.
- S3 has the best GPS I've seen in a phone. It's amazing how fast and accurate the GPS is.
What's not better is:
- S2 is just as fast. Extra 2 cores on S3 add nothing to real world user experience. Ignore benchmarks.
- Wake up lag is still here. Damn you Samsung. How hard can it be to make a phone that wakes instantly? Everyone else does it.
- Physical home button is still here. It's still an ergonomical fail. Actually the home button on S3 is even harder to use than S2, so navigation bar with soft keys is a must.
So, in short, I think it is a worthy upgrade from S2.

If that was directed at me thanks for the suggestion, I did consider it, but I'm not sure I can spend another nine months limiting the amount of music on my phone in case I want to record a video. Sadly it looks like Google will never produce another device with a micro sd slot as they are all about the cloud these days. If everyone in the world had unlimited data that would be great but we don't so I'm here.

the major difference is in software.All the samsung goodies makes it a much better phone.
it´s kinda like iphone 4/4s only siri, dual core and better camera. 4s is top seller anyway

This is my 5th android phone. Can't go wrong with the nexus line. I love this phone like a fat kid loves cake.
Although I'm currently awaiting a replacement phone as the touch screen went dead on mine... I suspect static buildup then an arc from my leg to the screen... So I might suggest setting the phone down when you know you will be around static buildup, as I now will.

The screen is amazing once you calibrate it. It's easily as good as the HOX and iPhone 5 and probably as good as the Z10 (even with the lower PPI). Overall this phone is brilliant taking everything into account, couldn't have asked for more.

I really like it now I'm used to it. The only problem is it keeps sliding off everything that's not perfectly straight

Is it basically a gakaxy nexus experience?

Get it. Root and tweak till your hearts content....This phone is ROM heaven and blindingly fast. Best phone iv had.

Its the best around...but don't wait to much longer to get it!
