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?

Search for those coming specs. No one can make this decision but you.

TMobile officially ends the galaxy note!

It's official, TMobile has cut the galaxy note out. Why? Probably has to do with the fact that the note 2 is around the corner. And I waited all this time for the note to come out on TMobile! Late to the party note, thanks. Although I did get a note and I love it for it's huge display and stylus, there is nothing else impressive about this phone. All I can do now is wait for the note 2, will be announced thus month on the 29th, and enjoy the last few breaths this note has left,in it.

Well, besides the brick-bug which can easily be avoided, what is there to dislike? I mean, other than the quad-core behemoths, the Note is still a very powerful device and the large screen plus S Pen just add to its capabilities. If you don't find a use for the S Pen, or larger screen, then why not just get an Galaxy S3 or HTC One X rather than wait for the Note 2?

IM guessing that's directed at me since you did quote me. X) I actually traded my have for the TMobile note last week. I love the big screen and the stylus, but the note could have definitely used more ram. Most of the time at Any given usage the note is occupying more than %85 of ram and it's clearly obvious. I love the note, just wish the size matched it's internal hardware specs. Note 2 is ganna rock.

Speaking about RAM, yes I agree Note has bare minimum available to run smoothly. When I run Tasker with sweet sounding Loquendo TTS engine announcing vital info, things start to load afresh when apps are switched.

Switching from Note I to Note II

I'm seriously planning to buy a Note II and I currently own a Note I.
However, currently I see there are almost all new features that are available in Note II are now available for Note I (based on N7000XXLS7 rom update), will buying this now will really be a worthy upgrade?
Considering only on features and not on ROM Capacity , Processor type and clock speed?
Any comments would greatly appreciated.

While original note is an amazing phone, just for battery life is well worth the upgrade. I used to average 4 hrs of screen on time on my note but on note 2 i average 7 hrs. Throw in hardware upgrade and JB and its an easy decision.

Agree completely. If you like your note1, you'll love note2. I thought note1 was reall, really good. Note2 is the best phone I've ever laid hands on.

I think the upgrade is debateable.
I made the leap. The power, speed, camera, features,.. amazing.
The 1... is still good.

I wondered and thought about gn2 upgrade and thought it wasn't really worth it but still got it on 1st day it was released in the UK and so glad I did
Note 1 is was and still is a great phone but even with jb it still wont be as good as note2 only thing I could tell the difference was going to 16/9 screen I could telk it was just a bit narrower but after a few days soin forgot plus the screen on the gn2 soon made me forget
You wouldn't:thumbup: be disappointed

You won't regret the upgrade. Trust me. I've yet to hear a person who has regretted buying the note 2.
Having said that, the one disadvantage of the note 2 over the note 1 is the inability to move apps to sd card in the note 2.

Hi there, have to disagree with you. I can move apps on my N2.

How?

The thing you'll like best with the GN 2 is peace of mind. Forget about battery life, just use it... and use it... and use it again...

Battery Life
LED indicator
Narrower design is more pocketable - when i ride my motorcycle, i can't tell it's there.
overall- i'm happy with the upgrade over my old GN1

To be honest, I regret buying the note 1 and sold it after a month. However, note 2 is way better and think I am going to stick with it for a very long time. Best phone right now imoh. So go for it man.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

I'm finding the note 2 much easier to hold in 1 hand, and the speed is pretty awesome. Although I'm using cm10 so the rest if the Samsung features didn't really lure me in.

I'm thinking about it as well. Had my Note on EBay today and took it down as I have JB now and the prices will be dropping soon. Costco has the S3 for 129.00 . Black Friday deals could be worth waiting for. I don't see the advantage of the International version anymore except for the FM. Tough decesion. But the longer I wait the better idea I will have on which TW Rom will take the lead as well

I am 100% happy with my Note II and I think anyone who buys one is unlikely to be disappointed, however I didn't get that "blown away" feeling that I got when I first switched from SGSII to the original Note.
I Broke the screen on my Note I & have not got around to fixing it, so mine needed replacing anyway, before I broke the Note I, I absolutely loved it and feel it was probably the best smartphone I'd ever used ( and I have used plenty) I feel the Note II is for all intents and purposes the same phone as the Note I with a few tweaks, and since I prefer to run CM10 I have to say I barely notice the differences between the two - this is not a slur against the Note II , more praise for the Note I.
Maybe if you are a fan of Touchwiz & all the S-pen stuff then its a different story, but my experience is like an iPhone upgrade - simply more of the same with a few tweaks.

In daily use there is little difference for me, personally. My gf has the 1 now, and i am jealous of her extra 80 pixels.

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.

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)

What's your next upgrade Phone from Note 2

I personally thinking of the HTC Max.
It hasn't came out yet, but after seeing how awesome is the HTC one with beautiful Design and audio beat.
HTC Max might me my next daily phone.
So, what's your next upgrade Phone from your note 2?

I'm stuck between:
Note 3 (of course)
Sony Xperia Z1
Nexus 5 (when officially released to know the specs, but having it always get the latest updates does sound attractive. )
The HTC One Max is also a big phone that looks good, but we'll see. I've had the Note, Note 2 and SGS2 and my partner has the SGS3, and we live together. Samsung makes good phones and makes them to last (mine is 1 year old with 0 issues). But I might want to try something a little different, hence the change in device. 5 inch displays with on screen controls make the screen size even smaller. So I'm thinking of crossing out the Z1 and N5, but I don't know. They're VERY good phones and the camera on the Z1 is kick butt!

Note 5. Maybe then Samsung has 4K screens and a good developed flexible screen.

Probably a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or something innovative.

I really ask the same question personally as someone said once you go big cant go small so im gonna look at either s5 or note 4
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

I'll see the official specs of the nexus 5, especially the battery and the price.
It was announced to be 3000 mA and now the last news says 2400 mA which is clearely not enough.
I think I can sell my Note II and buy and Nexus 5 without loosing any money (or not that much)
Or else I'll keep my Note for one more year, I'm happy with it.

Note 3, rest doesnt come closer to it. Will buy in a month once prices cool down a bit.
