New GALAXY S Plus available for pre-order

Guys and Gals,
The much talked about ( dubbed by some as the Galaxy S3 ! ) Galaxy S Plus is now available on Amazon for pre order to be delivered next month.
It has a 1.4 Ghz processor and only 8 Gb storage with a 4" screen.
It was quite obvious that Samsung was not going to ruin the glory run of the GS2

Isn't it basically the S2 mini?

Single core? Meh.

I would say yes. It is pretty much the mini, however if the processor is not dual core, is it really the GS2 mini or an evolution of the original Galaxy ?

I'd say it's the evolution. The Galaxy S was a fantastic phone, and very popular, and it doesn't compare to the GS2. Not everyone wants this phone, I would NEVER recommend this phone to my friend who only checks facebook and updates her status and sends SMSs.
EDIT = this phone = SGS2, that's why the SGS+ sounds like a good phone for normal users

Thumbs up for the metal back, the rest is not impressive and i think it's quite overpriced

it's mini dude !

Why change the title if that's the name of the device ? I didn't believe for a second that Samsung would release a device with better specs so soon. They wouldn't want to kill SII when it's selling like hot donuts

Camera sources published!

Finally, we have some progress. After petition which was created by OmegaRED^, and thread, created by me, Sony make some love for our community (thanks for zdzihu for info about it. It's big deal I think, cause we know we can make X10 much better now. Second thing is that Sony didn't forget about us and still looking (hopefully) to relase some other features (I mean sources and answer for questions on their forum). Fingers crossed, guys. We will give X10 devices new life again .

Thanks for Sony again, and please - give us something more, if possible!

Yes! Great news.
I also hope that Sony will deliver the way for us to have 16 million colors in our 4" screen, and maybe even multitouch.
I'm loving Sony again...

I'm sure they will do this, if this possible of course. Hope yes .
PS: I'm planning buy Xperia GX if will be international, and with MSM8960 (Adreno320). For me this is the best smartphone for now, bye Samsung with your SIII plastic fun!

XPERIA GX is really good, what are the benchmarks actually of it vs GS3? Not that I care about it, the phone is smooth, UI is AWESOME and design is THE BEST so far of all Androids. But, the thing we should hope is that it's the MSM8960 Pro, or else we won't have the Adreno 320 .
I'm going to buy it, alot of websites say that the chip in the XPERIA GX supports all networks.

MSM8960 confirmed ->

It's extremally sweet and fast . My next must have after X10 and Play .
BTW - I don't understand why they put Arc/Arc S on second picture, cause there is GX spec xD.

MSM8960 means Adreno 225.
MSM8960 Pro means we get Adreno 320. I think we get the first one ^^. However I'm still going to buy this phone! I contacted Sony Mobile and they said there are no details for a worldwide release yet. So I think there will be worldwide release since they don't know!

Good idea . And I still believe on Adreno 320 with Pro Snapdragon. Maybe they don't put words about it on details. Hope soon we get full specification of GX . Okey, we need stop spam, friend .

There is still the question if ICS will ever get camera working..

Optimus 4X HD,Xperia Acro S or Xperia S

As the title suggest, my contract is up next week. Shd I get a Xperia S(S$318 with contract) or Optimus 4X HD(S$188! With contract) or maybe Xperia Acro S(price not sure yet, shd be similar to Xperia S)? Any suggestions is welcome

I'd go for the Quad-core Tegra 3 Optimus 4X. But then again, its LG. :|

By all accounts LG are terrible at updating their Android phones.
I spent a week with an Xperia S and didn't like it. How about a Galaxy Nexus?

The ICS update on xperia S is terrible... sony dosn't do a good job ... acro s come with ICS (I'm right?) I think it will be good..
LG is terrible in updates ...(optimus 2X and 3D and black is still not recived the ICS update....)

But the 4X is shipped with ICS.

I did consider a galaxy nexus but in my country, Singapore only offers the 16gb version, which is simply not enough for me

Exactly, LG did a very bad job with their 2011 lineup. That's why I am having a second thought abt getting the 4X HD...
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app

Is it your primary phone or secondary one?(most contract based phones are primary)
If I in your shoes, would definitely go for arco s
LG phones look great in hardware specifications but they are LG, even they have tegra 3

you know technology is doesn't downgrade...
sony will not release any quadcore this year
and probably next year will get the 2nd gen quad or whatever
sony is so late in the game..
xperia s cant even match with the speeds of s2.having a higher proc. speed

When does xperia sl come out is it this year or next anyone got the specs on that it should be a little better than xperia s ?

16GB version of Google Nexus is still better that Xperia phones or LG, thrust me. Plus, you can use USB OTG. You can also consider buying Galaxy S3 if it isn't to expensive for you. Those two are currently top Android phones on the market in my opinion.

Why not just get the One XL? Beats the other phones in terms of CPU power, isn't too far off with price (depends on your plan), and you can use 4G once it gets rolled out
In my experience, LG isn't the worst in software updates (*ahem* motorola) and there's more customisability because they don't lock most of their phones at all (my O3D being a good example). However the UI is heavily customised and you might not like the LG flavour of ICS.
Xperia S looks cool, feels fast even though it has a Snapdragon S3. Sony is also usually good with software updates (the ICS update being the exception rather than the norm) and their phones are generally zippy.
Xperia Acro S... no experience with it, it's not even here yet
Still, keep your options open. If you can wait until September, wait til then. The PC show offers the best deals

This is crazy. Get the Sammy S3 or GNote. Both are way better than any of those mentioned so far. Or just wait for the GNote 2, this will be the best phone around.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

You should go with the Nexus or the GS3. You could use some cloud storage, or go with the GS3.

Thanks for all ur suggestions guys. I decided to pick up a 4X HD and give it my sis. I will probably change my phone around November now. Hopefully Xperia GX will arrive on the international market by then

Here's my thoughts on the Sony Arco S:
I got it to use while cycling so I wouldn't have to worry if it got wet (or I used my sweaty hands). It is my secondary phone (primary is a Galaxy Note). Before this, I had an Samsung S2 and a Sony Active. This is replacing the Active.
Very solid feel slightly heavier than you would expect for its size. Screen is nice. Came with ICS (4.04) installed. It also came with a recharging base unit which is very nice. It has some software that recognizes when you drop it into the base and will launch any app that you want. It is a nice phone all around BUT I prefer my S2 as it is about the same size. However if you NEED that water resistant feature this is a great way to go. The Active worked but it was too small, this one's screen is nice sized.

I prefer acro S. It's have ip67 certificate

Will the DHD ever die? [WARNING - boring story]

This morning I thought something like "Everyone's buying the OX or the OS and the DHD is dying in history and I didn't even have it for 2 years. ".
But some minutes ago I looked into the Android dev forum again and suddenly... Trickdroid!
A friend had told me many stories about Trickdroid, how good and fast and everything it is and I just wanted to have it also. And now we have it!
Then went back to the forum - another new ROM!
Well, now I think that the DHD is having its second spring.
What do you think about it? Will the DHD ever die or will it become a phone like the HD2?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using a ROM.

I have had an Inspire 4G(Desire HD for ATT) for a year and a half now. Thanks to the devs I can run Jelly Bean and ICS with sense on it. This phone may not live as long as the G1 but thanks to the devs here it will last alot longer than HTC would have allowed.:victory:

I have the same opinion about a phone. When you buy it make sure there is a XDA developer that work hard on it. If not is a dead or boring phone(see Iphone).
When DHD devs will leave us, than you can consider that the last days of this phone are coming.
Thanks again to all the devs that keep this phone alive.

That's exactly what I am thinking.
The DHD will die when the last Dev stopped working on it.
I hope that won't happen for a very long time, cause I really like that phone.

Not for now. I just got my inspire earlier this year and if I learn to dev well enough, I'll try my best to keep it going.
Sent from a dream.

I doubt it. The Inspire is still being sold by ATT. It has enough RAM and CPU and an HSPA+ radio so even a year from now it would still be an average mid-low range device. And new economy phones are still being released with lower specs than ours (albeit they have official ICS on them).

i am a g8 fan of stable roms . . . . So i used only ARHD. . . .
I was g8ly dissapointd when Arhd stopped updating and no new stable roms were there. . .
But yesterday i saw trickdroid. . . Stablest rom. . . Thank god. . . .
Now am damn happy. . . .

The HTC Desire HD is still going strong. Although I'm curious about Windows Phone 8 or the Samsung Galaxy Note II for my next phone, I'm still keeping and intend to keep the ROM list up-to-date for our Desire HD's. It's a quick way of keeping an eye on development.

One day it will .... but until then , ENJOY with the latest version of Android 4.1.1 on your DHD

I also thought about it before all this wave of ICS Sense ROMs,
Its a great opportunity to say thanks to Virtuous team that actually saved our community.
Without their amazing work of the kernel 3.0 we would all be still in GB or in a buggy ICS ROM that no one updates,
They totally freed the ICS Chakra that HTC couldn't do,
And now the water flows like a huge river.
I hope it will last for at least until we get a perfect ROM (Revolution should close that deal).

I like many thought the DHD would be more and more a dinosaur as time goes by with HTC dropping updates. However HTC did me a favour by doing this as it made me root my phone to try some of the great roms available here on XDA. Now my phone has a new lease of life thanks to all the hard working devs here!
I certainly will be keeping my DHD, one of the best phones (IMO) available and it can still hold it's own with the newer 'big boys' :good:

i believe its going to continue until android 5.0 or even 6.0 lolol

Having owned a Desire HD and now the One X (Tegra), I agree with most of you. The DHD has the hardware to support AOSP/CM builds for the next few iterations of Android yet to come. With the bloat of HTC Sense, its obvious that the DHD struggles. Thats why I exclusively used AOSP & CM builds.
If you read the XDA Portal, you would've seen recently that the G1, yes the G1, has JB. There are a good few issues. But it shows that with aging devices, not all is lost.
The key point is to enjoy our devices today, for what they have now, not for something that is not guaranteed for the future. For those who have recently got the Desire HD, its still a great handset. I enjoyed everyday of owning mine.
TL;DR - They DHD will die, but not for a long while yet.

I think the next era is coming to this epic device
Is Sense4 the last thing we can have?
No! Our great Devs is now working on Sense4.1/4.5 and it seems promising
BTW capy is back!!

Hi Need Some Help

Hi let me introduce myself to you guys..I am A Galaxy Mini user..well thinking of upgrading my device while Searching over Google i came over Huawei ideos X5 Pro..well I am now thinking of Buying this device
My qwestions are -
1)Is this Device Very durable? i basically drop phones in marble floors that is in my home
2)Is this Device ArmV7?
3)And Last one..How is the Service from Huawei Service Centres
Guys Need some help fast
Am confused between Xperia Tipo and X5..well stats wise this Phone beats Tipo fair and Square...But I need ArmV7 architrcture..and so thats a must
I am gonna buy a phone in next week..so just confused between these 2..Guys help
Thank You

umm no one?..

Good and versatile phone.
You won't find a device for same price with same specs.
Worst or basically non client support from Huawei.
This you can get only from the store you bought itand here you will have all the assistance needed.

it wont break screen easily rite?
Rik[Rittik]

The screen might be a bit difficult to brake, since if I am not mistaken there is some space between the plastic and the screen. But the device is made of plastic so if you drop it frequently it might have some problems. Noone can quarantee that your phone will be OK after a drop....
Official support sucks.
Its a armv7a.
Sent from my U8800

You should probably look elsewhere. This phone is now getting on a bit and will most likely never have a working jelly bean ROM. Huawei has released some new phones like the Ascend G300 and the recent G330. They are better built, the G330 is much faster and they have official ICS. Might even get jelly bean at some point.

Official XDA support - that's an oxymoron
By Jelly Bean I meant any Jelly Bean. The new Ascend models have a good chance to receive an official update at some point.

Save your money and don't but Huawei. Go for a Samsung our something

Its armv7... It is dependant on whether model it is. You don't want to have the U8800H since it has limited support.

My honest opinion is if you can't afford the very cheap nexus 4 then there is no doubt that this is the phone you definitely want. It is really durable especially the scratch proof screen (Mine has never been scratched) but dropping any phone on a marble would do some sort of damage. Yes its arm 7 and the service center varies between country as one is located in each I think? The one in my country (New Zealand) is extremely good. Mine got hard bricked and they had it back to me within a week of me taking it into the store I bought it from and they gave me a free micro sd because the first time they sent it back the camera told me it couldn't be found. And if you are wanting to get into developing yourself then I 100% recommend this phone to you. Hope this has helped your decision.

Yea Ty guys..Got my x5 pro
