Hey guys, so I am just looking for your opinion here.
Which one do you honestly think is better? The i9100 (Galaxy S2) or it's twin the i9250 (Galaxy Nexus)?
Here's a feature comparison table from gsmarena.com: http ://bit. ly/nrhH02 (delete spaces)
Technically, the only thing the Nexus has going is the 720p resolution and bigger screen. But it's a Super AMOLED (no plus) which I read somewhere has an RGBG sub-pixel arrangement, therefore giving it a green tint.
Everything else is either matched or better on the GSII.
But then again, there's direct software updates from Google for the nexus, I mean, the Nexus S has ICS already and the GS2 just got leaks and CM9.
So what do you think? After all this, what's your opinion?

There is already a massive thread on this debate. Please consult that instead of clogging up our forum
Where is it? I searched for it and couldn't find it?

Sorry but;
OMG NOW WAY! How do you do that? I was just looking through every single page on these forums like a dumb ass!
I'm not an idiot. I might be new here but I'm not new to how forums work.
Neither the search bar at the top or Google directed at forums.xda gives anything.
I'd be grateful if you just post the link to that post.
Annnnd then again use the search tool.. i typed galaxy nexus vs galaxy s2 and this is what popped up http://www.google.com/cse?q=galaxy+...=0&gsc.q=galaxy nexus vs galaxy s2&gsc.page=1.. Why look for it page by page when you can type the keywords and it automaticaly finds it?
Edit: Also, wrong section of the forum.

Why didn't they tag the model numbers. Try searching i9100 vs i9250 and you get nothing. Anyway, I'll make sure not to expect these sort of things from people. I'm usually good with Google.

Well, most users prefer saying galaxy nexus rather than i9250 because it is more well known than a bunch of numbers.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Oh, I prefer the numbers because you never know how the user will write i9100. Sii s ii s2 and its just generating so many searches to perform to make sure you find it its just annoying. i9100 is the definitive model number and you can't stray from that.
And I came to this thread thinking that I9250 was another Galaxy SII variant after I9100G, I9100P, I9100T, M250 and the latest I929.

There also not called sgsii , their called captivate amaze etc. If your looking for a fix or something you'd go for the international version. Since its international it just sort of suggests its got the most users. I'd explain more but I just sort of have to get you guys to try think ahead. I'm posting from my i9100.

Galaxy Nexus does not come with a Micro SD card slot. (N)
Therefore, my SGS2 is more suitable for my needs because gameloft games take up my internal 16gb and music and videos in my 32gb Micro SD.
I know. Its a huge deal breaker for so many.
Kinda makes you think, either Samsung was ahead of its time and released a phone that's still the top dog and can easily challenge the newest one for its title of best. Or maybe we reached the limit of innovation before we venture into 5" computers (due to debut next year windows 8)

This is from the Facebook of Samsung Mobile Taiwan. The Tab is loaded with Android 2.3.3.

looking at i closely it does kind of look edited..particularly in the upper segments where the text appears clearer, when the reflection should make it even more blurry...hmm..

I for one believe that this is real. Every Gingerbread Tab photo/screenshot have been from Taiwan/Asia. Hopefully it'll start being rolled out.

I really want that korean or asian firmware. From my experience with samsung devices. Asian firmwares are snappier as they dont come packed with bloatware for euro firmware. Has no drm (usually dunno about the tab). Has better support with linux.
Maybe a stupid question, but is there an estimate for the launch of 2.3 for the SGT?

I wonder, does anyone want me to upload this ROM soon before I do too much to it, as it may vary from the 16GB model? How can I, here in Taiwan, be the first in the world to get this device???!??!
I will try to post photos and an unboxing with cute Chinese girls.
Woot, never heard about the launch of the 32 GB version. If that's true, it's nice news.
SGS2 with 32G? I'm excited to see the pics...
Its interesting,anyway could you check what kind of audio hub is implemented ? Go to system/etc/asound.conf , in 16 gb version exists Yamaha, unfortunately.
how much did it cost you out of curiosity?

Your the one on glue , that site was up since first SGS2 was released we all knew the possibility of 32GB , later on a blog samsung/or a distributor claimed its not happening. OP also spamming this in two subforums and not providing any proof, so get down from your high horse.
If it is true its all great but, again where are the PICs ?
Ok guys, stop arguing. There may or may not be a 32gb version in existence at the current time. One way to know for sure is to have a screenshot showing that it has 32gb. However, that being said, a lack of a screenshot does not yet mean there isn't a 32gb version. It just simply means there is no evidence to fully substantiate that there is a 32gb version.

If you were to trust Samsung, you should have seen a Tegra 2 GT-I9100, which didn't happen either. So of course people don't believe that only one xda member got a 32 GB phone and he's reluctant in showing us pics

If he says he has one, great.. If he's a liar that's great too.. People do what they do.. he's feeding his ego by posting a falsehood pretty much the same as you are feeding yours by being the savior and pointing out said falsehood.
Realistically neither matter too much in the grand scheme of of things...
Sometimes it is best to follow the old rule.. If you have nothing positive to say, be silent.

I'm often astounded at the vitriol that is slung around here sometimes. To quote Linus Van Pelt (the only one who I actually KNOW, and am willing to acknowledge, said these words), "I bring you tidings of great joy." and you slag me? We're all in this together people. The Palm community would have never gotten so vicious as this thread. People calling me a liar...honestly. I do thank those who had the grace to defend me.
I think those thugs should take a look at my sig. I had smartphones while they were in regular phones. I had one of the first of the first 10,000 run of BB 850's (Google it). That was in the last century kiddies!
I hope I can upload a photo here. I took a long time dealing with Taiwanese people to get this and then was late for work, so had no time to upload pics. Will try to do it now. Some of us have lives. If the pic I'm trying to upload doesn't slake your curiosity tell me what else you'd like me to show.
It was "Made in china by Samsung"
I want to see if someone asks me for/ needs this potentially unique ROM. I haven't attempted root, but have read the howto thread once, so I can't go to system/etc/asound.conf yet. I can't browse there in Win7, but might jam it into my Linuxbox when my son wakes tomorrow as what DAC it is a burning question for me too! I would also like to find out if it's Eynos/Mali. Where could I find that short of a teardown? The telco said it is Exynos/Mali. Please give me explicit instructions as I'm a noob and am allergic to command line
It cost me $NT22490 cash today, which included the next 11 months free service (NT$1049/mo) of the 2yr contract(unlimited 3G/HSPDA, 400 sms, 30mins voice).

From what I can see Mass Effect isn't supported for the S4 yet. In the Playstore it shows as Unsupported just like Nba Jam does, another game I am waiting for.
You can try contact EA like I did, but it has gotten me no where right now. I can't wait for the game either.
