[Q] Would you trade MT4G for Galaxy S 4G?

I have this dilema where a guy is offering me to trade my MT4G for his Samsung Galaxy S 4G.
Would you make the trade?

Thanks for the reply. What I noticed is that the Samsung has less RAM.

Samsung phones suck. Big time. No way in hell would I trade my phone for that piece if crap.

i agree with the other posters...i had a samsung phone...never again...support sucks and will continue to suck

Actually, my girl has this phone, and has had no problems with it at all. while ive had to warranty out mine over four times now (mt4g), she hasnt even had a problem with it. if you are looking for something new, it wouldnt be a bad trade.

Agree with the rest..
The only products that Samsung makes that are decent are their dumbphones and the Galaxy Tab... Keep the MT4G and wait for the next gen on HTC phones...

My friend has a galaxy 4g, and we did a few tests:
Web browsing : glacier is faster
Camera: glacier is much faster, by that i mean the time from unlock to actually have a photo taken, i prob could have taken a pic and put my phone away before he takes a pic. but galaxy has builtin stitch but no flash.
Screen: i like the lcd better than led, the led has a blue tint to it unless you are looking straight on, the old galaxy had settings for tuning color, but cant find it in the 4g one.
Speaker : galaxy won for sure, glacier 's speaker is a joke.
Wifi module : galaxy can get on wifi within 5 seconds, my glacier takes at least 10, if not 15.
I am starting to like soft keys but rather have a track pad and deal with the clicking.
Mods: from what i have heard, galaxy doesn't have much of development.
TLR = no. Keep the myTouch 4G

Thank u all for ur help and advice. I will see what I deside. The one thing that holds me back is the RAM.
Whats the difference between the 2 processors? Snapdragon second gen vs Hummingbird A8?

Keep the mytouch 4g. I have both and not a single thing can beat mytouch 4g. It is overall the best phone out there until htc pyramid hit the market

Not much... ram is important, the more the merrier. Cpu you can always overclock but with ram you are stuck with whatever built-in. Besides, htc vs samsuck is no comparison at all. Just my 2 pennies

I got the original vibrant and I'm waiting for my new mt4g to come in the mail tomorrow!! Overall the vibrant (original) is a great phone, it has 16 gigs of internal storage along with my 16 gig micro SD. But with the bad gps and the lack of updates and support from T-Mobile and Samsung. I got it from day one. I wouldnt still have it if it wasn't for the awesome devs on xda.

There were a few things that might make me think it wont be for sprint. :'(

really no sprint?

According to Pocketnow, the device will supposedly offer a quad-core 1.5GHz CPU, 4.7-inch 720p HD display, 1GB of RAM, an 8MP rear camera with f/2.2 lens and Beats Audio. Curiously, no LTE capability was mentioned specifically, though 21Mbps HSPA+ appears to be good to go, and there's a slight possibility of Sense 4.0 being included

Infuse,Atrix or G2x

Hi guys I've been using X10 for enough time now -nearly 8 months- and want to change
I have three offers now
Infuse 4G
LG G2x (+25$)
Atrix. (+50$)
I'm asking you what wud u prefer in terms of Hardware,performance.,Style and UI and most importantly "development"?
Sorry I'm asking here cause here are the members I trust.want 2 know ur opinions pls..
Omar,
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

My favorite is atrix. 1Ghz Tegra 2 paired with 1Gb Ram is awesome, and the qHD screen it higher density too. Just for your info, it has a firgerprint scanner too!
And i think its official CM support is on the way too.
While G2x has the same processor, 512Mb ram but with official CM support.
I planning to get myself atrix next year though XD

yeah between those three definitely atrix

Thanks.it's unlocked to work with my GSM band in egypt....will I need to reunlock the SIM each time. I flash ROM/Kernel or bootloader?
Also to be sure that my budget can handle it ..what comes after atrix?

Sent from my X10a using xda premium

No sorry, I meant if I can't buy atrix should I choose G2x or infuse?
Also in that thread about 2012 line of SE I saw a comparison shows that OMAP4 is better than tegra2 terms performance & games.
Would that mean that optimus 3D is better than atrix? -they have the same price here-

I think because of the only one core & big screen which consumes more battery.

Ok...It's almost settled..for low budget...Infuse 4G but for a higher one Atrix or optimus 3D!! Which one do you recommended?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Well infuse has good specs for being the cheaper but if can afford more without problems get the atrix
In my case would be the infuse(4g phone with a ginormous super amoled screen) but atrix is better in the long road
Sent from my X10a using xda premium

atrix for me,then if you cant get it go for g2x

Atrix! believe me, you will be surprised by its raw processing power...

So u guys don't prefer optimus 3D? I saw a video on youtube atrix vs optimus 3D and the latter was much faster
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

i'll saw both are equally good, but the 1GB ram in Atrix is a not match for 3D. 1Gb is more future proof.

guys, I am also considering Atrix, LG O2X and Xperia Arc. I can get these for the same price.
I use my phone mostly for browsing the web and reading the RSS. have anyone of X10 users seen the pentile display of Atrix? Have read that the fonts are not always clear, depending on the background.
Atrix is winning as the android phone with the best battery life (source) but I fear that the display would be a downgrade.
Thanks.
P.S.: sorry for hijacking the thread, but I think this is on topic and useful for OP.

I've used it and the display was fine..
Better than x10 that's for sure.
Not as good as sgs2 obviously but still good..
In that list definitely don't buy arc, single core vs dual core? Easy decision

Japan Getting Galaxy S3 with 2GB RAM

Seems like the folks in the UK aren't the only lucky ones.
NTT Docomo confirmed that they will have their own 2GB retail version of the Galaxy S3, more info here: http://gs3central.com/content.php?r=137-Japan-Gets-Galaxy-S3-with-2GB-Ram
UPDATE: Canada also getting 2GB RAM version with dual core and LTE: http://gs3central.com/content.php?r=152-Canada-June-20-Release-Date-Confirmed-Plus-2GB-RAM!

Has anyone maxed out 1GB of ram on the GS2? I only ever got to a max of 500mb ram used of the 800 or so that was free.

Uk? Theyre getting 2gb too?

Fighting LG
I guess this is deeper than just responding to the LG phone, it also means that SIII is probably more highly adaptable to combinations of hardware in design than expected.
Although Samsung said the Super AMOLED Plus has a problem or short-lived blue dots, but I think they are reserving it for something even bigger.
Considering the there are also reports saying that Google wants Jelly Beans to be released in Nexus first, I guess Samsung will do something better very soon. What's more, who supplies Apple with the New iPad screen? Samsung!
Maybe "SIII Advanced" with better Super HD AMOLED Plus? Flexible AMOLED? Even thinner body? SIII isn't as slim as we thought.

C'mon man, let's not start another hype-nuke with the Nexus and the amoleds plus 2x epic and flexible amoleds and 1mm phones.

So only <300MB ram available for apps? This is just as bad as the One X with Sense.

And people say one gb is enough... They must not be using their phones if they say that they can't even use half of the ram.

The exact reason i want to upgrade to this before the end of my contract is cuz my phone keeps ****ting itself when i run out of ram. This doesnt sound all that promising now.

I just checked out the specs on PhoneArena .. impressive .. 4.8" 720 .. 32GB built-in WITH (and I must bold that WITH since the HTC One X doesn't have) .. microSDHC/XC support to 64GB more .. wahoooooo
However, in the radio information .. doesn't state anything about LTE !!!
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-AT-T_id7131
EDIT: whoops .. it states it in the description about the phone in regards to LTE support. Wonder why they didn't list in it the frequency listings !!

Hopefully AT&T follows suit with the others and announces the June 21st release.

Honestly seems a bit weak for a such a huge release for AT&T... Not only did they cut the quad and went with a dual core processor for LTE, they also cut the internal storage. Sure, the processor has better architecture and has more ram, but worth it...? I wouldn't entirely think so.
