I9000 of course

I9001 > I9000 > I9003
Personally like I9000.....

If you are into Modding and flashing, then go for S. If you want performance go with S+. If you want the phone to cost less ,choose SL.
Sent from my Galaxy S running MIUI ICS!

The original Samsung Galaxy S i9000.
i9000 (PowerVR SGX540) > i9001 (Adreno 205) > i9003 (PowerVR SGX530).

Galaxy s. As said, better community, more stuff and custom roms

SGS i9001 (the quallcomm one) is supposed to be faster - i think i 've read somewhere that it's based on a single fast memory chip and don't have i9000's lag problem. i9003 is the worse than both.

Why don't u even consider the galaxy r in ur list ???

From the choices given, i9000 is still MUCH better than the Plus and SL version.
Just exclude the SL from that list because its ... frankly ... Teh ****zz from company. A lame attempt to sell the name "Galaxy" i.e. Their Flagship Device.
Galaxy S Plus has a faster CPU. It'll be a better performer in day to day tasks than i9000.
However, i9000 is still has a better hardware OVERALL. Becaues it also has a better GPU i.e. SGX540. While rest of the specs are same as Plus version.
Conclusion: From the above given choices, choose the i9000.
BUT ... If you can consider other options say Galaxy R, look into it as well. (If you can live without a SuperAMOLED display ... well, i cant )

i9001 is better, but no one making roms for it.

no
no..i9000 is way better than i9001

If you just compare hardware i9001 is of course better, but the Android community of i9000 is awesome, so it is just a matter of taste

yaya, this is what i meant, cause there are more custom roms out there..

Galaxy S in terms of support of course

specs-wise= sgs+
short on $$$= sgsl
dev support=sgs
you choose.

Exactly what I wanted to write I still prefer I9000 S cause it was my first phone but the S+ is a beast

I9003 is highest but I love my I9000!

S and S+ rocks
I personally have a Galaxy S , with its CPU at 1.3Ghz , more or less equalling CPU performance with the S Plus.
They would have done better if they had given the S+ with 1.4Ghz CPU + PowerVR SGX540 , that would really be killer. When I bought my S , it was priced at 22k INR and the SL was 18k . The SL was much laggier in general operation, but thats debatable cause the S was using 2.3.3 , whereas the SL was 2.2.1 . I saw the S+ too , 24k , was more or less same in performance with the S.
I went with the S due to much higher GPU performance, with value pack XXJW4 , Semaphore 2.7.4sc , 1.3GHz CPU i get 33.2fps in Nenamark2 , with 1Ghz , i get 32.8fps

I9000 as it has more support

Galaxy y just take a look on the specs..
But I don't know how much development is there for it.
Sent from my GT540

yeah galaxy y specs :
OS Android OS, v2.3.5 (Gingerbread) (stock gb hmm good)
CPU 830 MHz ARMv6 (armv6 too but 800mhz on default??)
Type TFT capacitive touchscreen, 256K colors (eh this is kinda different.....)

Display resolution is just to small 240x320 for that size. CPU is faster, but no flash support, in my opinion not wort changing. I your place i would save money for something with armv7 or better and with higher resolution.

1GHz cpu, adreno 205, gr8 hardware.
It come with ginger, and shuld get ics. lol, no flashing cm7, rooting, oc, etc... no need for that. She use it for voice calls, sms, internet, music and photos. And she would probable kill me if i broke something. :-D
Sent using Tt.

wow just wow 1ghz?? put this phone to shame

If I have to choose between swift and galaxy Y, i would take a swift becouse of screen size in px. If you're thinking about any other low end phone you should look at the xperia live with walkman - 1gHz, 512 rom, 512 ram, fast as hell, mdpi,, and phone is not very larger than his screen.

or the wildfire s is good too

I think Galaxy Gio is better than Galaxy Y and GT540, and the price is similiar.

lg gt540 is a low-end smartphone from lg ang galaxy y is a low-end smarthpone from samsung. With stock rom and internal storage galaxy y wins and it has multi-touch screen too (which lg gt540 doesn't) but lg gt540 has ics (beta) and galaxy y doesn't (yet) so... if u look into the future i think u should choose the galaxy y but if u want to play with ics right now u should choose lg gt540. Or u could do as what the above say: save the money and buy a super smartphone like samsung galaxy SII or nesus

How mach is g s2? I would't never give more than 200-250 euro for phone.

I would take a look at the HTC wildfire s or galaxy ace. For HTC, you get a great looking ui, galaxy ace gets a silky smooth hardware accelerated browser.
Neither LG gt540 or galaxy y are recommended be me for basic smartphone task(s).

[Info]Galaxy S4 is coming ...don't go for any other phone.

According to an article in Korea times ...s4 will be released in Feb 2013...so most of us who did not upgrade to galaxy s3 should wait about 6 more months to get the most powerful beast in our hands...
http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2012/09/133_120024.html

This is to destroy the so fana iphone 5 benchmark im sure ,! But please not too big Samsung !
Envoyé depuis mon GT-P3113 avec Tapatalk

If they go for anything larger than the S3 they can forget about me buying that.
S3's size is utterly ridiculous (can't find many people who can 100% interact with it with only one hand), anything larger that that will be just sad.
Only thing left is to pray to the electronics god that Google makes their next Nexus in the size of the current one / S2's! can't imagine a better phone size, bigger than the tiny iPhone (yea, talking about the new fella) but easy to play with using one hand only.
if only the'll be able to also make it Super AMOLED Plus (like the S2's non-PenTile, but with S3's resolution).

S4 might not have a screen larger than S3 since the current size distinction gives proper difference between the S and Note lines. If size goes beyond 4.8 will impact sales of either of them.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

The more I use my S2..the more I feel it's the perfect size. I had a GNex for a bit and it was just a tad too wide. I think something the size of the s2 with a edge to edge screen would be great.

Yeah then we wait for the S5 next year :banghead: and S6 the year after that

S4? U kidding they have to dump a huge number of S3 into market.. After huge success of this they ll plan for S3 with Dual sim then when competitors move to hexa core or jump into 2GB RAM then they start S4 may be,,
My wishlist for S4-
1. Quad core 2GHZ preferably Tegra 3 .
2. 2GB RAM with nVidia GPU.
3. 4.3" Super AMOLED HD display with 720*1280 res (Enough )
4. Design of S2 is must( Best designed phone)
5. Aluminum casing for back cover with S logo.
6. 12 MP camera carl zeiss.. (Nokia Fan)

May I ask, why Nvidia GPU? I should say that most benchmarks say that our mali-400mp4 clocked at 266mhz is just as powerful as the full clocked tegra 3 gpu variant, plus we have a much lower resolution screen than any tegra 3 powered deice I have ever seen, meaning our device can end up playing better games that quite a few of the devices with the tegra chip in it. Like with full effects enabled on dead trigger, it is so much smoother than my nexus 7 with it's gpu overclocked from 416mhz to 520mhz. Personally I would take the overclocked 440mhz mali-400mp4 in the s3 anyday over any nividia GPU. Althoug, the gpu going to be used in some of the new exynos 5 chips which should power the s4, looks incredible.

Pfff......The exynos 4212 and MALI 400MP still kicks tegra 3 a** and the S4 will have a exynos 5250 with mali t604 which is a total BEAST.

Because I saw my friends Nexus 7 which played dead trigger more finely and smoother(Even mine was smoother ) so i thought tegra would be nice. Is S4 confirmed?

Like I give a ****.
Seriously, the longer I wait for Jelly Bean, the more I want a Nexus.
Besides that I hope they won't make the screen any bigger. Otherwise we'll run around with 11" smartphones and 17" tablets very soon.

Dead trigger is optimized from tegra 3 and the mali400 in s2 is a bit weaker from terga 3's gpu

Ya ur rite S2 is the Best screen size which fits perfectly in hand.. mainly robust Tablets max 10"

well samsung wants to keep a one year product schedule so its not news,but this reports states the phone will be 5 inches from 4.8, i wonder if the note will be bigger

According to Sammobile latest news, Samsung denied an S IV release in february or march. Link from source: http://sammyhub.com/2012/09/18/samsung-debunks-galaxy-s-iv-rumor/. Another link is http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_responds_to_galaxy_s_iv_rumors_debunks_them-news-4819.php

If someone released a 4inch Nexus with good hardware and a solid build I'd be all over it like a rash.
Instead the phones are getting too big and too ugly. I've never had an iPhone but I can see the appeal. You invest in an iPhone 5 now and you're guaranteed long term software support and your device maintains its value. I'm sick of all these phones coming out that feel outdated and forgotten in 6 - 12 months. Who do you hear saying "don't buy an iphone 5 the iphone 6 is coming out next year".

Sadly you're kinda right.
I've already made my decision. My next phone will be a Nexus, period.
I could forgive the longer wait for updates, if I'd actually use them. At the moment the only reason I'm waiting for updates is because the cm team can make a proper one with those.
There is only one manufacturer that does great modifications to android, but those phones aren't available here. :'(

Samsung galaxy s3 neo GT-i9300i ...!

Hi guys
I bought the new galaxy s3 neo GT-i9300i which for me it was the best in it's range specially Grand2 . And when I compare it to the original model GT-i9300 I found it's better than 9300 in 2 main points :
1- 1.5 Gb ram . Avilable 1.35 Gb
2- 2 lines
I also need to confirm that GT-i9300i is 1.4 Gb arm cortex a7 processor not 1.2 and its almost have same settings as the GT-i9300 . I know that most of you will say that 9300 is better in matter of processor because it's cortex a9 but it's same speed and the gpu in 9300 is better but I confirm that I played most of hardcore games with no lag.
Now my question why can't I find dedicated fourm for GT-i9300i or any custom rom ?because theory it's almost same device in general aspects .
Hope to see more members that own this device comment on this topic .

Thanks for the information

Looks good on paper. (Except the screen size)
Mainly the 2gigs of LPDDR3 and the ARMv8 MSM8939 looks promising. If anyone here gets the device, post some camera samples.

The phone looks decent in the video reviews for its price. But flagship killer is not the apt word, since it cannot compete with the flagships.
Idk what you really mean about low range flagships.... coz flagships are always high range
Remember, this is just a rebranded coolpad f2 4g clone, so i dont expect it to be good qualitywise. I am looking forward to reviews after long term use
Good think you guys have a official xda thread, expect new developers to pimp out this phone with cool new ROMS !!

Agreed. OP should really change the title to something like Is YU Yureka the new affordable King of midrange smartphones? or, if you really wanna go overboard Is YU Yureka the newest and most affordable Nexus for the masses?
The company really is called YU not Micromax (although started by Micromax founder) and, it is a midrange smartphone with a budget range price.
This is Micromax straight up copying device specs and marketing strategy from Google/Motorola (Moto G/E) and OPPO/OnePlus (One) and Xiaomi (Redmi Note) etc. If they execute properly, this could repeat the Moto G's success. They really should have gone with a 4.5"-4.7" screen (ok, maybe 5" max because India is their main market), bigger battery and, paid deep attention to getting the camera right.

At Rs.15k, it will be closer to the OnePlus One's price and that is a better smartphone. It will also have to fight with devices like the Xiaomi Redmi Note and the Moto G (which has good quality and support in it's favour but lesser specs). Also last year's Moto X was going for Rs.17k....
Nope. Much safer to jump below Rs.10k for now... :angel:
