How the Galaxy S should have been!

Dual core and with a flash! Hope ICS gets ported to it...
(Although the flash is only shown on the pic...I was gutted I didn't notice the S didn't have a flash till after I bought it)
http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2012/01/samsung-sticks-a-dual-core-processor-into-its-galaxy-s/

on hardware level :
it should have a camera key. a flash
on software level :
ICS and SIP calling

It sounds completely crazy to me. Why they have to sell another device that will lack of support by Samsung and by the community? This phone will meet the same doom as i9001 and i9003. it's really madness to produce dozens of variants and then give **** support to each of them.
And people are still waiting for ICS on i9000. Bah.

Although I agree most people do not care about the community or Samsung support. They will buy the phone with a contract that suits them and happily use it till they buy the next phone (upgrade etc).

A lot of people don't use anywhere near all the features of the phones they buy, and the smarter the phones the more features are unused.
They just want the latest phones...
They will change "up" as soon as they are allowed, so to them long term support of continued development are not important.
And this is being encouraged by ALL the manufacturers, not just Samsung.
let's face it, if any manufacturer actually produced a phone that did everything that was needed and properly, they couldn't bring out a new phone 3 months down the line, and the product line would be reduced from 10 or more down a couple per maker.
Not good financial sense.
P.S. I have had my Galaxy S for a year and a half and I'm generally pleased with it, I have it doing what I want and pretty well too. I don't NEED ICS, buy if and when it comes I'll try it.
There are no cameras on phones that I consider good enough for anything other than snapshots, so i have a good quality camera for pictures and a very competent phone for phone related tasks.

Exactly my thoughts. The only reason people complain for ICS on i9000 though is because that's the phone they sold the most, is ICS capable and they never actually delivered a bug-free ginger version (there're still some major ones that never got fixed). Their excuse about touchwiz+ICS being too much for the i9000 is also BS, i'm sure. Not caring about the customer and providing **** support is the problem.
They probably had leftover parts they decided to capitalize by making this phone. Whether this will be a hit or not will depend on it's price. If they make it attractive enough, people with cheap phones looking for an upgrade without spending much may like it. Totally unworth it for someone owning an i9000 already though, even less with GB being the default system.

To all guys complaining : OOOO, bad, bag Samsung, they are releasing the new model with old system without chances for its official update,baaad, baaad, baaad Samsung, you should be punished, and all workers and managers burned in a big bonfire!!!
Could you, boys and girls, tell me: who the hell forces you to buy it?
What is the reason of your nightly wetting, shouting and cries?
I never seen peoples like you, in example standing in front of TV shop and shouting: I don't want this TV bcs the wall plug is ugly black, while I wanted it to be pink with golden dots... yet, maybe bcs I did not met you in the real world

One small question: so, you suppose that any manufacturer should ask someone from the community (I presume: preferably you) the question if somebody will support it?
Pal, I have no idea what are you taking, but please... pass to me your dealer contact

I dont understand how u can complain about the first of the galaxys. I mean there still better than. The iphone 3g plut u can find roms to get it to do more than a phone actully needs to do anyway. I think yall just expect to much from a phone rember there not a computer. Iv had my sgs for almost two years now and other than the random freezing and fue lil glitches that i can live with im happy with it..... BETTER THAN AN IPHONE!!!!

I don't get it, OP sais the "Galaxy S" should've been like something that just got out...
The Galaxy S was already a beast when it got out, it was on top as far as performance and technologie goes, how do you compare it to something that is launched 2 years later...
Sure, I'd like the current phone to have the technologies that will be available in 2 years but right now! And, in 2 years, I'd want my 2 years old phone to be as powerfull as the one coming out!!

i think its a good marketing strategy by samsung
see you people are fighting and buying the new samsung galaxy advance

Ach, tough topic.. That happened to me as well
The move of keeping ICS out of the Galaxy S/Advance models and instead get at most android 2.3 on them is just a clever ruse to lure us on the higher-level and more costly models.
Too bad for them, we can reflash

OnePlus Two Rumors

Just saw this on GSMA. Specs don't seem to be the biggest upgrade and that price is significantly higher than what we paid for the One.
Source: http://www.gsmarena.com/resellers_start_listing_oneplus_two_months_before_launch-news-10377.php

This version of the phone was at the coolicool site for more than a month!
Simply gsmarena found it yesterday!

yeah I saw the news today as well on several source,
Was hoping they will start to use SD 810, and possibly make the memory convention at least 4gb, to cater for at least 64bit memory space of usable space 2gb max.
I wonder what kinda project their operating system will be based on since they going to do if its not CyanogenMod, it will be one of the biggest challenge they will face especially for user who likes to have their own custom rom.

Four GB of ram on a phone is 100% unnecessary at least for now. Cyanogenmod may still work with them in future we do not know for sure. Even if there is no cm 'S' series firmware available in the future, most likely it will come in nightlies as regular builds.

I keep seeing price estimates of $550 and if that is USD, then I think they are making a big mistake (ala Nexus 6 by Google). To me, I saw the point of this phone as something similar to the Nexus 4/5 - a phone that offered a lot at a favourable price over the competition.
From a Canadian perspective at least, a price of $550 USD will mean an end price of around $780 CDN after shipping, currency conversion (which is at about 16.5% right now) and taxes on delivery. That's nearly $300 more than it is for the OnePlus One (which runs about $500 CDN depending on the province you are in). I can't see anyone up here wanting to go that route since it is the same range as every other Android flagship (which run between $600-$700 plus tax) and unless things improve drastically on the customer support front, there is still a lot more risk and hassle buying a phone from OPO than going to your local mall and picking up a phone. If they get as good as say Google is with the Nexus phones (I had easy RMA experiences with them numerous times with the Nexus 4 and 5 where I got brand new phones in about a week) then that may change my opinion.
Of course, Canada may not be a huge market for them and it's not like our weak dollar is their problem but I think they are selling quite a few OPO's here now and that market I can easily see drying up real fast if they raise the price that much. Thought I thought the same for the Nexus 6 as well and maybe that is selling well in Canada despite it being twice the cost of the Nexus 5.

I believe users who bought opo were looking for an upgrade to nexus 5 or bigger phone then nexus 5, but thought nexus 6 was either too big or too expensive lol. If opo releases one plus two that's significantly more expensive, I see even less people taking a risk on this manufacturer in the future

No body would buy it for that price anyway.... Why would someone buy a Chinese phone for high brands prices
The note 4 would be a better choice..

OnePlus had an AMA today and said they were still using the same business plan of small profit margins. The price would only go up if suppliers raised prices.

I second this... And if these specs from the link on OP are true (since these are just rumors), I will most likely not be getting the OnePlus Two; totally not worth it. I really hope these rumors are fake, or I'll be going back to HTC as my next phone.
Sent from my aromatic bacon!

Here is the latest from the rumor mill:
5.5-inch QHD display size
Snapdragon 810
4GB RAM
3,300mAh battery
Android 5.0
RMB2,699 yuan ($435)
Source: Gizchina
Via: gsmarena.com
This looks better and more probable than the rumor linked in the OP.
It may also have dual-sim capability and an SD card slot:
A still image allegedly taken from a OnePlus promotional video, supposedly shows a device that might be the next phone offered by the upstart manufacturer. The photo reveals a device that supports dual SIM cards and has a microSD slot.

If this is true (and it's a big if), I sure hope that dual SIM is an option since it would make developing custom ROMs nearly impossible.

You'll probably have to hold out for the LG G4 Pro then, as this rumoured device supposedly features this chip. It sounds like it could be a great handset, hopefully its smaller than 5.7" though, I think 5.5" is the max size for a phone, anything bigger and you might as well get a tablet.

I heard OnePlus is gona push the boundary and introduced the worlds first smartphone with 10k screen and a PPI of 1,000 :cyclops:

Placed pre order on amazon. I am eagerly waiting for reviews. Hope it does not disappoint. I've broken too many phones within a year to justify spending more money lol.

In for one as well. And now we wait...

I see it as being shipped mid May.

A couple more decent review/videos

Interesting, from CNET
Alcatel is pushing its latest phone hard. On Friday, the smartphone-maker announced that its OneTouch Idol 3 is available for pre-order. Arriving a couple days ahead of its April 21 presale date, the phone also carries a lower price point.
The best budget phablets you can buy
Unlocked and ready for either T-Mobile or AT&T networks, the discounted device features a 5.5-inch display.
Specifications -- at least those on paper -- are somewhat robust considering the cost of the handset. There's a 13-megapixel rear camera and an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, for instance.
The Idol 3's real claim to fame, though, it that the display and OS will orient to whatever direction you pick up the device. This reversible feature also adjusts the speaker strength depending on how you hold it: pick it up one way and the "bottom" speaker will dominate; turn it around and the two will switch.
Shipments are expected to begin in May.

I believe the Idol 3 will be a big hit considering it's great specs and low price. It would be nice to see a cyanogenmod for idol 3.

@qbking77
Thanks Tim:good:

I am definitely in with this phone! LTE, 2GB RAM. I think it will be a great improvement compare to my current moto G (2014).
I hope we'll se cyanogenmod development for this one!

Would the Idol 3 be an upgrade to my Galaxy S4? I think I've gotten over paying $$ for a "flagship phone." I'm looking hard at the Idol 3, the ASUS Zenfone 2, and the Oneplus One. The Idol 3 is the bargain among the bargain phones... just a little worried about the camera and general performance compared to the Zenfone 2 and One, which I think are a bit more powerful.

Well, you know your phone. Here is a comparison of the two.
Each will have their plus and minus. They are two entirely different devices. Alcatel is still rather new at this game. Having this in in their lineup, shows they are moving toward more premium devices.
That said, they still need to prove this device worthy of a higher status level.

I've been on the fence on the Idol 3 big time. I had a pre-order in at the $199 price and canceled it. I wish I hadn't done that... I think I may reorder the Idol 3 and give it an honest go. I'm really interested in the Idol 3 for the relatively light weight (sounds like one of the lighter 5.5" phones out there unless I've been misinformed), good battery life, and stereo speakers. If it doesn't live up to my expectations, I can return it and get the OPO. I just wish the OPO had an SD Card slot. I do like to share files that way between my tablet and phone...

Oneplus Two Overrated.....

Yay?... Nay?
I must say yes..
TRASH antutu score. We get that same score RIGHT NOW on the oneplus one.
The Samsung button makes the phone super ugly.
The 810 overheats.
The phone is 10mm thick.
I'm going to have to say no thank you. Huawei, Zuk, Elephone, Umi, & others are creating great phones at prices that make upgrading from a oneplus one to the oneplus 2 useless. Don't fall for the hype guys.

I think its a decent phone, a nice improvement with the move to a more 'premium' build along with what appears to be a better camera, bigger battery, more ram/faster processor. I havent seen any mention of OP2's 810 overheating yet, I think some have mentioned the phone warming up a bit (like most phones) when running a benchmark or gaming, but it doesnt seem to impact performance. The biggest issues I have seen are with the Sony Z3+/Z4 which was overheating badly and had the camera crashing.
I dont worry about benchmarks much as its the real world usage that matters most. Overall I like the look of the design, I like that the finger print scanner is capacitive rather than a 'clicky', one less moving part to worry about.
But I definitely think you're right with the competition, a lot of chinese companies are stepping up with premium builds, top features like big batteries, quick charging, 5.1.1 out of the box, 64bit chips, sd card slots, etc,etc, all for a decent price. Just look at the Zenfone 2, very good value for money.

I don't like the oneplus 2 because of the hype. Essentially its just another Chinese phone like Zopo, Mlais, etc.. As you said, there are hella Chinese & Indian manufacturers who have way better builds and even better specs than the ONEPLUS 2. However, they go unnoticed because they don't have promotional funding from OPPO(Yes OPPO).
The Ulefone Be Touch 2 has a fingerprint scanner & a build that is much better than the ONEPLUS 2 IMHO.

Yea it looks pretty decent although I've seen people on XDA saying the battery life was pretty poor. Another thing with some of these brands is the software support, I'd be concerned how much you would get at the rate these companies churn devices out. At least with the OPO and OP2 (if you like or dislike oxygen) they are committed to providing updates (just dont mention the timing!). But you're totally right Oneplus has built a foundation around the online marketing/hype, which none of the other companies have.
This looks like it could be decent as well if its priced right

Yea they're really pumping them out this year. For a while they all seemed to be churning out cheap and nasty 4.4 devices but they've really upped their game in terms of the hardware and software. Theres definitely more choice than ever which is only a good thing.

Everyone likes to conform I see....

There are similar threads in the OnePlus Two section. You could join one of those discussions. But this is off topic for this section.

[Q] Where do we go next from the OPO?

I can't seem to desire any other phone. I love the display, I love the size. Speed is good. Battery is very good (running stock CM). Not to mention the price.
Also - I love the hardware buttons (I think software buttons - like in the nexus 6p for example - are a waste of screen real estate).
Anyone upgraded and was happy doing so?

I'm in the same boat as you, my phone is almost 2 years old now but i feel no need to upgrade. Unless you live in a area with faster than 150mbs lte, want a finger print scanner, or a crystal clear screen, i would just keep it until the op4.

Had the One for just over a year now and don't feel the need for an upgrade. When I do end up upgrading this phone, it will not be another OnePlus device. The 2 and X have shown little improvements as successors to the One. There will be better options when the time comes

The OPO really opened me up to the modding capabilities of android. As so many people had grabbed the phone and experimented, there was lots of support. CyanogenMod was a key factor in my decision to get it, and I agree with @kenboyles72 : The 2 and X haven't improved enough for me to want to upgrade.
Also, there's nothing wrong with the OPO, even two years old. It still outperforms most of my mates devices

will be a better unit. BUT not that too soon.
opo will be still outstanding unit at least few more years.
Used to handle HTC models prior to opo
really appreciated opo unit.
appropriate in many ways.

I'm going to wait for the OnePlus 3 to see what it has in store, and if the price is high or it doesn't impress me with it's design and such, I'm going with the Xiaomi Mi5. I mean 4GB of RAM, Snapdragon 820, Fingerprint Scanner, Marshmallow, Good Camera, Awesome design and 64GB of storage for ~700AUD, I'm sold.

Is it bootloader unlocked? Or do you plan on staying on stock for several months hoping for some AOSP support only to switch again? Most of the time it's better to wait and see how popular a device is before buying as the more popular a device is the more likely it is to get a good development scene

Boot loader is locked and honestly I don't care. I don't care what Android skin I use, everyone makes a big fuss about oh I can use this and ew Touchwiz and what not and honestly I don't care. I use Google Messenger for texting, Snapchat, Reddit and Facebook Messenger. I'd be lucky to make an hour of phone calls a week. I install Google Now Launcher on the device and an icon pack, the main interaction I have with MIUI is the status bar and recents apps menu. Like looking at this, you wouldn't even know it was MIUI underneath.

Went to a Nexus 5x already, but keep leaning back to the OPO that's still lying around.

After The opo will be useless at 2018 i will looking into new battery techs

i was thinking to Nexus 6p, but I've see now the 820's snapdragon devices.... So I think I will wait for sure the next Nexus, if it will be nice i will buy that... And obviously, have a look to opo4

I'm waiting on the note 6... after it gets a custom recovery.

One plus 3 ( if specifications equal or above opo ).

Maybe mi5 when price drops or Next Nexus, opo is still uncomparable as price/quality ratio

Using this thing until it is too slow to use day to day...did this with my HTC g2 and m7. When they start to lag behind too much and battery dies too often, it was upgrade time. I always make sure lots of memory is free for performance.
Sent from the one and only Oneplus One

thus is cool but i am worried if there is hope of android o for us with this one or any good custom roms or any new holy **** kernels as i donot see dev with opo2 then what with opo3 opo 4 will dim

S7 Edge on Tmobile's buy one get one free deal.

I was just browsing the subforum and happened to come across this. I personally own the X which is essentially a more compact One with an AMOLED screen and expandable storage.
I would say keep the One. It's a great phone and if you compare performance of the X to the one, I'd say that there isn't a reason for you to upgrade to anything at all. If you must, go for the X. It's really a side grade if anything as both devices level one another out on terms of HW, but in all honesty, keep what you have. You guys have the best ROMs, the best revision of the 801, and the best kernels after all. Enjoy what you have.

I've had inconsistent performance with the GPS on my OPO. I'm really tempted to get a 5X now that it's $200 (plus that first month of service, right?). Didn't know how important the GPS would be to me.
