Galaxy s2 vs Galaxy Nexus vs Galaxy s3

I've had my I9100 for a while and currently its running Resurrection Remix Rom 2.5.3. I'm kind of getting tired of this phone but don't know which one should I get, I can trade my phone for a nexus or I can spend about 200-300 more on a s3. Any kind of input would be greatly appreciated. Or should I wait for the new nexus phones out due in October?

S3 way to expensive for what it can do, Nexus way to buggy low camera but best software ROM created by Google and S2 best choice in my opinion ...
Have a nice day.

Keep the galaxy s2 and wait for S4 quad CPUs + Adreno 320
Galaxy nexus will not be an upgrade for you
Because power vr 540 is much weaker than mail 400
Also TI OMAP 4460 is not better than exynos
The camera is 5 MP compared to 8 MP in the S2
The screen is pentile which is worse than your current screen (trust me it is the worst ever in my opinion)
Developers support is much better for the S2 compared to the Nexus
Good luck!

Stay with S2 and wait for Note II or the new Nexus, any other smartphone wont be much better from S2.

Yeah I checked out the nexus in person and I'm just looking for a better looking larger display with lte, I guess I'll hold out for the new nexus

Forget to buy those phones as it's late already. Only buy a phone max. 1 month after the phone is released.
I recommend the next nexus because google is the real boss in terms of android, not samsung.

Do you guys have any ball park guesses for the specs of the new nexus?

Oppo Find 5. Best android phone yet?

No Oppo section so I though I'd post here. Seen it in another forum and just blatantly copied the text so I don't have to rewrite my self.
Specs are as follows:
Android 4.1 Jellybean
5-inch 1920x1080 Display (441 PPI)
Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 Processor (Easily beats the Exynos 4412 in the Galaxy S III and Tegra 3 in the HTC One X)
2GB of RAM
12 Megapixel Camera
16 or 32GB of storage + MicroSD Card slot
2500 mAh Battery
This will probably interest a lot of current Note users

Meh.... No Oppo section so I thought I'd post in here since I am an s3 user and s3 is top of the line at the moment, so it'll be good to compare to it.

Its only rumors as of now ..

Comparison or not, this isn't the place for discussions of other devices.

yeah that phone is beast, but think about this, LG Optimus 2X was the same beast phone two years ago, first dualcore processor, and great screen.. LG talked about it for a year, by the time they actually released it, all the phones were dualcore..
I think by the time they actually release this phone, Samsung, will have their own 1080p 5'' phone aswell

Galaxy SIII Amber Brown looking good

Got a hold of the Galaxy SIII Amber Brown, so far compared to the AT&T version, the international version with the Quad-Core is much smoother. Really liking the Amber Brown SIII.

How and where did you get it? I've been looking for the Brown or Grey, but I was told that it was only available on the I9305 model. Did you get a I9300 Brown? Can you post some real life pics?

Can u guyz tell me how much score in quadrant app do u get? Which one is better device i9300 or i9350 ? Or both are same in perfomance?

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Well if someone gave you a choice to have the i9305 or the i9300 both for free. I can bet you would take the one that has 4g&3g + 2gb ram... Instead of 3g & 1gb of ram.
I9305 I feel is more fluid I get less stutters and it feels more like butter then when I had the i9300 with jb polish.
That's your answer. Enough said

The GT-I9300 scored higher in Quadrant compared to the US AT&T version I have. I really don't go by benchmarks that much, but the I9300 runs buttery smooth compared to the AT&T SIII. Really like that I don't get any lag at all.

That depends on if you prefer faster data downloads, , then the LTE version would be better for you. If you want some better speed the I9300 will be faster.
So far both phones are great, but for me, I am liking the I9300 better.

The I9305 would be better as you would get the faster data, which I get on the AT&T SIII, but the data speed on the I9300 is doing prettyngood on AT&T network, but I am going to look into changing the APN on the I9300 and see if I can get better download speeds.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda premium

I am deciding between the i9300 and the i9305 but I am leaning towards the i9300. This is mainly because of the large dev support community. Currently, there are only two custom ROMs available and will certainly lag behind in terms of dev support. What's more important, 1GB or an endless selection of ROMs, firmware, apps, tweaks and user support?

There's an Aussie variant with 2gb ram and quad core

Better is a really subjective word. There's no right or wrong answer.

Samsung's new color lineups
I really like how Samsung has its own unique hairline designed colors.
I hope the colors arrive to Galaxy Note II and other future devices too.

That would be nice to see on the Galaxy Note II. My guess will be that we should see some other few colors from Samsung for the Note II. Maybe end of December or January.

Nice second is the Note 2. I honestly love Samsung as a company they add something new and exciting with each of their new phone. I just wish that they made better build quality. Though i understand they went for a skinny light weight phone and all. I really wanted a solid build like the Nexsus 4 the build quality is Excellent on the nexsus 4. Oh well maybe next phone they will have better build quality. If not HTC here i come haha..
Otherwise this is great news..
Here is a link in English..

and your reason why? like what other phone can beat the s3? xD I Knew it was phone of the year back in 2011!!!! how? IT'S A GALAXY PHONE! pure logic that it would win.

I'd say note 2 would of won if not then probably iPhone (say that with much disgust lol). HTC just can't beat the galaxy. They are nice phones but yea like look at the HTC one x+ still 1 GB RAM and no lte I can't understand why they wouldnt do what Sammy done and upped the ram lol oh well

Sent from my GT-I9400 using xda app-developers app

My opinion...
1. Galaxy S3
2. Xperia T (It isn't the most powerful but come on its sexy, and the Xperia UI is much much cleaner than Touchwiz and Sense)
3. One X+ (Sense is horrible, but camera, etc are great on this)

which will be your next handset after i9300?

1. S4/s5
2. Nexus4/4
3. note 3
4. Other android phone
5. Other phone?
Id intended to wait 2 years until I upgraded but 1gb of ram is working out to be ridiculously low and basically, while ideally id love to change to wp8 I'm addicted to android.... I'm waiting to see what the final specs of the note 3 and nexus 5 will be, and choose between the two. I'm thinking note 3 is the strongest contender as it will most likely be a powerhouse but pure android is tempting too

Note 3

I`am thinking of Note3 as everybody, but still waiting for Motorola X phone.
And hoping for phone with IP67 (water and dust proof), big battery and possibilities above S3 AND most important - with dock station with i can use my phone as home computer.

Hopefully soon an Oppo Find 5 or it's follow-up by the end of this year.
It's screen, sound and UI create the ultimate user-experience I honestly find unmatched by any other phone.
The only reason it's probably unknown to you is it's lack of marketing in comparison to the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4.
It's something you guys should really check out! :good:
