i9100 vs i9250

Hey guys, so I am just looking for your opinion here.
Which one do you honestly think is better? The i9100 (Galaxy S2) or it's twin the i9250 (Galaxy Nexus)?
Here's a feature comparison table from gsmarena.com: http ://bit. ly/nrhH02 (delete spaces)
Technically, the only thing the Nexus has going is the 720p resolution and bigger screen. But it's a Super AMOLED (no plus) which I read somewhere has an RGBG sub-pixel arrangement, therefore giving it a green tint.
Everything else is either matched or better on the GSII.
But then again, there's direct software updates from Google for the nexus, I mean, the Nexus S has ICS already and the GS2 just got leaks and CM9.
So what do you think? After all this, what's your opinion?

There is already a massive thread on this debate. Please consult that instead of clogging up our forum

Where is it? I searched for it and couldn't find it?

Hint: Use the search button

Sorry but;
OMG NOW WAY! How do you do that? I was just looking through every single page on these forums like a dumb ass!
I'm not an idiot. I might be new here but I'm not new to how forums work.
Neither the search bar at the top or Google directed at forums.xda gives anything.
I'd be grateful if you just post the link to that post.

Annnnd then again use the search tool.. i typed galaxy nexus vs galaxy s2 and this is what popped up http://www.google.com/cse?q=galaxy+...=0&gsc.q=galaxy nexus vs galaxy s2&gsc.page=1.. Why look for it page by page when you can type the keywords and it automaticaly finds it?
Edit: Also, wrong section of the forum.

Why didn't they tag the model numbers. Try searching i9100 vs i9250 and you get nothing. Anyway, I'll make sure not to expect these sort of things from people. I'm usually good with Google.

Well, most users prefer saying galaxy nexus rather than i9250 because it is more well known than a bunch of numbers.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Oh, I prefer the numbers because you never know how the user will write i9100. Sii s ii s2 and its just generating so many searches to perform to make sure you find it its just annoying. i9100 is the definitive model number and you can't stray from that.

And I came to this thread thinking that I9250 was another Galaxy SII variant after I9100G, I9100P, I9100T, M250 and the latest I929.

There also not called sgsii , their called captivate amaze etc. If your looking for a fix or something you'd go for the international version. Since its international it just sort of suggests its got the most users. I'd explain more but I just sort of have to get you guys to try think ahead. I'm posting from my i9100.

Yeah, well, that's how people write it. They prefer the ones with words. And as the poster above said, i also thought this is one of the i9100 variants

Galaxy Nexus does not come with a Micro SD card slot. (N)
Therefore, my SGS2 is more suitable for my needs because gameloft games take up my internal 16gb and music and videos in my 32gb Micro SD.

I know. Its a huge deal breaker for so many.
Kinda makes you think, either Samsung was ahead of its time and released a phone that's still the top dog and can easily challenge the newest one for its title of best. Or maybe we reached the limit of innovation before we venture into 5" computers (due to debut next year windows 8)

Official Jellybean is out for UK

Some people get butthurt at little comments that don't really mean anything. Though i do understand what everyone is saying is not fair.
So maybe we should take it easy on him and tell him. ''Really i didn't know thank you'' But here is the problem we have been using it for more than over a week now.. Anyway it did make my day when i first read it. I forgot to thank him for it he deserves it..

Logic doesn't make any sense, and XDA has rules about starting pointless threads.

To clarify (cause no one has been very clear about it in this thread, to be fair) the generic version of Jellybean for UK, along with virtually all network variants have all been available for weeks.

it also has rules against pointless posts.
Pointless posts contribute more garbage to the forum than pointless threads.
It also puts people at risk of getting fired. Remember people, in this modern society, your online profile can quickly get tracked back to you, and some companies don't take kindly to employee's who reflect badly on their place of work.

New to the N7 need some help.

Hi there, I've been a member on XDA for quite some time ( Galaxy Ace ) , and I've gained a lot of knowlage so it feels stupid to post this thread but here goes anyway
I've got the 32GB only Wifi
- Is there a way to phone on the N7 trough wifi? - Sounds dumb but yea.
- Is there a way to whatsapp, that'd be great!
- Overclocking, good/ bad for this device in particular?
- Any stuff I should know?
Thanks - Hope to have a great time with you guys!

Depends on what you plan on doing with it. I underclock personally.

How does S2W work?

Hi, I just tried out Touch Control and its amazing. I want to know how does sweep to wake work.
I read the developer saying the digitizer turns off when you lock the screen, so basically how does the phone monitor my touch? Also, will using this for a long term have any effects on my touchscreen? I hope not, because I'm hooked to this.

Bump, I can't believe no one is even interested in how it works. I really want to know?

I dont know, Im using touchcontrol with doubletap2wake and works fine, better than s2w, battery life seems the same and it does work even after hours with the screen off
I've been using it since january-february without any effects/issue on my touchscreen, my phone is almost 1 year old

Actually I asked here since this question is more related to swipe to wake and not the app which I believe is just an interface to toggle kernel specific settings.

Is not that no one is interested is that when people want to find out things they generally search them. If you do some searching you will probably find all the answers you need. Also ill effects can only be determined on your end by simply testing out the app.

I've searched enough for this and I couldn't find one thread, one website answering my question. Perhaps you could research too on your behalf, and see if it's at least there after searching, before blabbering like the rest of the idiots here? I don't mind the 150 people who didn't answer, its because they didn't know the answer. But you had to mimic others and say the same things all over again. SEARCH! SEARCH! Yes Sir, I already have, so shut up.
Also, I'm not interested in breaking my touchscreen just "to see the I'll effects". What the **** is wrong in asking a question?

hahahahaha your cute... nothing wrong with asking a question but the same question over and over is like a nagging woman... but its ok my bad do you hope you find your answer or maybe there is no answer to give you since the developer may not want to give out his secrets. Maybe simple testing of your own rom on your own phone will tell you about battery life but oh well... I am just a blabbering fool... keep bumping your own thread and good luck my friend :good:
