Seems like OP is jelly and wants to feel better about his sgs2.
Here are some more nexus pros:
ICS
Faster updates
Nfc chip
Considered the best android phone to date by all reputable reviewers

Also has green tint. Worse battery. Worse camera. Worse HD recording according to those "reviewers"
FM radio, etc etc.. only thing the nexus has going is software updates and bigger (albeit worse) screen.
I do not really like justifying purchases, but I do not like the Galaxy Nexus because of one reason:
There is no Micro SD card slot.
That kills it for me, all my Gameloft games already fill up my SGS2's internal SD, and I need space for my music and videos, so I'm sorry, I'm not willing to make that compromise.
Galaxy Nexus: 16gb or less
Samsung Galaxy S II: 16gb+32gb = 48gb (Y)
I would buy the galaxy s 2. It's better value for the money if you flash a nice ROM IMO.
Or wait for the S3. It's gonna be awesome

This amuses me because of who manufactures the Galaxy Nexus. The OS is updated directly by Google, but still.

Eh? Is this a statement or question?
If you asking if it has one, or if you are saying it DOESN'T have one, then you're right; the international GS2 (I9100) actually doesn't have one, exactly. At least, not a dedicated search button, like a lot of other Android phones.
You have to long-press the Menu button to get search. This should work in all contexts. I just tried from Home screen, in the Gmail app, the Email app, and the browser.
Galaxy SII any day, it is the best Android...until GSIII arrives
You guys still on this just go buy a nexus already
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
lol, i believe there is a much more alive and busy thread in the nexus forums with the same question.
Having played with the Nexus it is not worthy enough to get rid of my GS2, however; if i were out shopping today for a new phone I would choose it over the GS2 for the updates and ICS.
Can't wait for ICS
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.

S3 is leaps and bounds ahead of S2. I upgraded and don't regret it for a second.
NFC is incredibly useful, you can set up NFC tags to perform tasks, for example one in my car enables Bluetooth, turns the volume up to max and starts spotify
Smart stay is really handy if you do a lot of reading.

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.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
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.
my wife and i went from s2 to s3 phones, HUGE improvements!!! now at what cost, and if its worth it based on that.
she loves the improvements, so do i. very pleased. sure there is a quirk or two, but overall very pleased.

Did you ever consider English may be his second language?
I did not get the impression he was knocking the s3. He seems to be on the fence about upgrading and had found some reasons not to. Still undecided he comes here to ask for opinions from those who own the phone.

S2 still rocks...
My brother have s3 but I don't see any reason to upgrade s3 from s2
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.

Well, so I think the SGS3 is the best option for you. I understand your point, here in Brazil mobile data is also slow and expensive, I suffer less with this problem because I work at home and I am almost always on wi-fi.

Sorry. im my opinion the phone has a lot of personality. it´s diferent
and there are not many huge improvement from S2(unlike S1>S2)
i think this is not true.you have a quad core. a 720p display. a 4.8 inh display. Nfc also is new.
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
so i m still stick with my S2 now
ok but yu dont know what you are loosing

that i have no reply my mother as a nokia 3310 and for her it the best phone in the world
in all i just like to say that it depends on the person that is buying the phone.
several friends of mine would trade in a heart beat.
i for example like the design but several pple like you don´t.
so if you have a phone that suite your need´s you should stick with it

Lol. Using the ATRIX is so funny. I am amazed I can type on thus thing. I do remember the ATRIX having a nice sensitive screen, a little bettrr than gnex and n4, but the note2 screen is so nice all across the board. Sensitivity, after putting in movie mode everything looks natural and I have hardly seen any black crush and watching videos does not put any hurt on the battery.

lol. i think we've all had a "i couldn't imagine using a phone that big" moment including non gnote2 users. iphone5 users are probably ****ting their pants with that extra row of icons. lol.
Would you imagine going back to a phone without multiwindow?? i just got used to be using 2 apps at once! Also the battery life is great! I can never go back! I just love my note 2! Every other phone looks boring for me. "Show me something i haven't seen...i got a note 2"
××**ches love note 2
my previous phone was an HTC Doubleshot (T-M MyTouch4GSlide), and having moved over to the Note2 for about a a week, I went back to the MT4GS so as to wipe it and install latest CyanogenMod 9. The MT4GS seems so small, almost like a toy, with its tiny display.
I ain't never gonna go back!
The "shock" is not the size of the Note but the cuteness of the phone you replace
That moment when I take my ex, SG1, in my hands again and think to my self "OMG, I used to tell people this thing has a huge screen??? I gotta find them all and tell them how wrong I was! :victory:"
Priceless!
you all think that the SGS2 or HD2 or anything else is small in comparison to Note 2? I have a Nokia XpressMusic 5800 at home! This is really small!
I am getting the note 3 today or tomorrow after much debate over the note 4. I think Samsung dropped the ball with releasing it so far after the iphone 6.

The thread, here, shows the quality of the camera. I love this thing and will be bypassing the N4 for the N5 (pending specs) when released. My wife's S5 camera is slighty better, but it def goes neck and neck against it.
I currently have a 32gb black sapphire note 5 from tmobile which I love a lot.. If I had to be honest with myself I'd have to say my battery heats up from time to time and all the Knox bs drives me crazy.. I have been considering getting the 6p and giving my mom my note 5 so it stays in house and I can always switch back to it and give my mom the 6p.. I'm wondering for those who have it if the jump is truly worth it..
I've read about the 6p bending and the sound quality not being so great and sounds muffled etc.. Also someone mentioned it heats up as well.. Can anyone help with any feedback before I make the plunge??...

The only time I have experienced a heating issue was while using the phone and charging at the same time. I ran antutu twice... Both times after using the phone for a while and other apps open.. Once with the microfiber case on and once naked. With case I got 50k, without 59.5. The phone is excellent and I have not run into issues that others have reported.

No have not owned a Note 5 but do own a 64gb S6. Don't like TW and the S6 is starting to stutter and lag. The battery life as well has been awful from the start. I have an OPO as well and it was a decent device (good battery life).
Frost looks great, those chamfered edges really pop and its not nearly as slippery as a glass device. I'm a Nexus guy though....I like using the UI the way Google intended and being first in line for updates.
Good luck man, I have heard good things about the Note 5 so I'm sure you can't go wrong either way.

Well I've had the s2 s3 s4 s5 s6 now note 5..i did have an opo which the screen was crap compared to Sammy..
Personally I dont use very many tw apps.. My launcher is usually nova I use solid explorer and chrome.. When purchasing a phone external SD and battery are important as is the camera.. Nowadays extSdCard and battery seem to be a thing of the past so a great camera is good cause I have a soon to be 3 yr old and capturing moments are important..
I like sms time stamps for each message no matter how close or far apart the times are in between.. I love to root and theme my phone with center clock and 3minit... I use to be a huge aosp supporter but honestly Sammy screens is what make me a fan boy..

My favorite phone to date, but I've grown to prefer pure Android over TW, Sense, etc. If you really like TW then I say try to figure out your heating issue and stick with the note 5. Try turning the display to basic, the other settings seem to be pretty taxing on the phone. The note has 2 huge advantages over the 6p imo: the camera software and one handed mode.

Well I've had the s2 s3 s4 s5 s6 now note 5..i did have an opo which the screen was crap compared to Sammy..
Personally I dont use very many tw apps.. My launcher is usually nova I use solid explorer and chrome.. When purchasing a phone external SD and battery are important as is the camera.. Nowadays extSdCard and battery seem to be a thing of the past so a great camera is good cause I have a soon to be 3 yr old and capturing moments are important..
I like sms time stamps for each message no matter how close or far apart the times are in between.. I love to root and theme my phone with center clock and 3minit... I use to be a huge aosp supporter but honestly Sammy screens is what make me a fan boy..

Video recording is nothing special on the Nexus 6p. Also screen is awesome but if you hold it side by side against the Note 5 you will want the Note 5. Eye gets used though, so if you already use nova on your Note 5 and apps from the Playstore to substitute Samsung's own apps you might like the phone. I say try it, you have 15 days to return it. Usually Nexus devices are for those people that know how to tweak their phone and prefer minimalistic style.

I currently have a 32gb black sapphire note 5 from tmobile which I love a lot.. If I had to be honest with myself I'd have to say my battery heats up from time to time and all the Knox bs drives me crazy.. I have been considering getting the 6p and giving my mom my note 5 so it stays in house and I can always switch back to it and give my mom the 6p.. I'm wondering for those who have it if the jump is truly worth it..
I've read about the 6p bending and the sound quality not being so great and sounds muffled etc.. Also someone mentioned it heats up as well.. Can anyone help with any feedback before I make the plunge??...

I Have both phones and they are both beasts. I find that thanks to the lighter touchwiz and the combination of exynos and 4gb of RAM the note 5 is as snappy and lag free as the Nexus 6P. I give the Note 5 the edge on the camera side and the N6P for the battery. It all comes down to what you need. If you absolutely love the note 5 camera you're going to miss it. If you are familiar and appreciate the stock android experience of the nexus line then by all means get it. Best nexus phone by far you will not regret it.

No have not owned a Note 5 but do own a 64gb S6. Don't like TW and the S6 is starting to stutter and lag. The battery life as well has been awful from the start. I have an OPO as well and it was a decent device (good battery life).
Frost looks great, those chamfered edges really pop and its not nearly as slippery as a glass device. I'm a Nexus guy though....I like using the UI the way Google intended and being first in line for updates.
Good luck man, I have heard good things about the Note 5 so I'm sure you can't go wrong either way.

I agree the N6P has the best battery life since my OPO definitely a plus.
