A new SGS2 is on the way, a plus version. Se for yourself :
http://pocketnow.com/android/is-samsung-preparing-a-galaxy-s-ii-plus
I hope to God they don't do it, because everybody is happy with this SGS2, and making the plus version, and then a SGS3 will make fans angry.
I read that the only difference will be that the plus version will have 1.4GHz CPU..

Wonderfull !!!!! nice !!!!
If its going to be a + version, I hope it will at least be a higher clocked exynos rather than some crummy snapdragon.
Not that I would buy it either way.
awesome !!!
Lol!! i just cant imagine how the sgs2+ customers will be pissed when sgs3 is launched.... poor fellows, surely there will be some idiots buying this instead of waiting for sgs3

If one has the money then they should go for it then sell it when the real successor comes out.
But quite pointless in purchasing this if the S3 is looming despite the wait.

Well,technically speaking,my SGS2 is already better so...
But yeah,that's the point.They might as well make it with a Snapdragon.Although,if it's Qualcomm's S3 and not the S4 processor,it'll be more like the SGS2- instead of + but anyway.
I hope it'll come with the same chipset as the "newer" version of the g nexus. :3
why stupid?
I thought I had to say somethiong about the comments here. first of all I use the sg2+ since a week now. and yes it's really plu. I have a sgs2 and I really see the difference, when it comes to multitasking and web browsing. games runs better and when i wasn't able to run some powerfull games on sgs2, it runs perfect on the "plus" version.. Apart from that, I actually won't say it's a stupid thyought from samsung, a lot of people (like me) are fed up with the size of the screen on new phone like the sgs3 and they rather buy a smaller cell phone, the problem is that it's difficult to find a 4'3 screen with good specs nowaday. I guess that's where the sgs2+ comes in the game, it gives you a up to date phone specs.and a normal screen size. I will pêrsonnaly keep my regular sgs2 because of rom dev, since i think the sgs2+ will not be mod so much. but you can't say it's stupid to make this product, it's niche, but it has its place on the market. And don't forget something, it sells new for 300 euros. And i won't even bother on the materials they use cause it's like ten times better than the sgs3 which look and feel like a cheap plastic phone

Racism? Meizu makes good phones but it would probably be a nightmare getting warranty support since they are based in China. At $600 I wouldn't get one either.

It's a bit more complicated: you need to post the phone and will get back after repair...
IMHO, Meizu is a very good firm; I have an MP4 player from them, the M3 Music Card. The pure quality of the device, and the SOUND quality is amazing. Simple amazing.
The phone contains the same Wolfson chip which in the MP3 players.
Currently I am waiting for their quad-core Meizu MX 32 gb version...
what is meizu mx?
looks nice...where can i find one??
my dream phone
racism?????
that's not racism, my next purchase will be an Ainol Aurora, my idea is 600$ is a lot of money, and I'd like to spend this money to a consistent brand, I mean, in Italy Meizu has no resellers and no warranty, so this is why i'll never spend 600$ for this phone
Nice phone

here is a review: http://www.meizume.com/meizu-mx/14178-meizu-mx-review.html
However, due to no microsd and non-removable battery, putting it in the iphone territory for me, so I would not likely buy it. Also I need developers interests, CWM or something, or I will destroy the phone very quickly.
It has some good thing going for it, same 1.4ghz Exynos CPU as the Note + Wolfson dac + Pentaband (tmobile + att 3G compatible). It's what the Galaxy Nexus should had been spec wise.
Seems great. But honestly, I'll never buy another Chinese phone.
It is a great device if you want to buy it. Almost features like iPhone 4S- 640*960, Dual core processor, 8 MP Camera, No memory card slot, Micro Sim support, very good design phone and gaming graphics are amazing, screen resolution of the phone and other things are really nice if I want to buy it I will definitely buy it. Meizu is like that Apple remove all its limitations from their iPhone.
I remember the MX launching with lots of fanfare. I think they are the up and coming mobile brand in China with a focus on awesome phones.
I love plus it comes with ICS promise. :-\ :-D its about 500 on eBay. Hope it gets xda love.

I have one, and it's a beautiful device. There's a stock ICS ROM available for it. It rivals many mainstream manufacturers on build quality and the performance is ridiculous.
They are also releasing a quad-core Exynos update, which will come with 32GB of storage.
I was skeptical before I purchased also, but I definitely recommend it now that the price has dropped a little. It is a fantastic phone

I would enjoy passing it onto someone who would get as much out of it as I have my only issue with selling it is that Australia Post have an embargo on Lithium batteries, making it prohibitively expensive to ship anything containing a Lithium cell out of the country.
They aren't particularly hard to source anymore though, thankfully. There's a member in the Marketplace called 'droid_does' who can get them to you for around the $400 mark. They're only $50 more directly from Hong Kong on eBay, which is where I got mine. That included six-day UPS shipping, too.
Hi there guys,
as in title allready asked "From wich Phone you will jump to OnePlus One and why ?"
I will sell my Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE+ I9506 with Snapdragon 800 cause there is no Development an no CM10/11 support for it!
As the nature of a technique freak is that mostly tune/modify and want it adjust more personal likes and featurs...
In my opinion a phone who dont got CM support is a dead phone cause mostly if there is no CM support there is also no development for this phone! Thats my experiance in last 4 years!
..... well on Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE+ I9506 i had nothing of this ... + Samsung pushed their phones with NSA stuff like KNOX... that was the headshot overall!!!
So i will never buy a Samsung phone that is KNOXED... !!! Bye Bye Samsung!! It was a good time the last 4 years but with KNOX no more!!!
And the 5,5" Display and the Frame of OnePlus One is okay for me cause i also had a Note 2 before the S4 so i know the advantages and disadvantages of such "big" phones
It like you look through a big window instead of a small keyhole.... well thats my sense of taste for such of sizes
At least it was short journey at the s4 phone and i gained to 2 new great xda friends there who is and was willing to do something there Absolon and DeHAWK.
Ill hope Absolon and DeHAWK jump on OnePlus One too!!

Wow, All of you sacrificing flagship devices... I'm coming from a midrange device, the HTC Desire X. There is not much developement there and just now it is beginning to get CM10 support which is still buggy, so I'm looking forward to get a phone with good specs, recent software and hopefully good developement.

I'm coming from a HTC One, don't get me wrong it's an incredible device but if I manage to sell it for ~£200 I'll definitely buy the ONE. I'm hoping for more battery life however if I do I'll miss the incredible speakers... (Stereo Downfacing?!)
Edit: I can buy it in HK where the price for the ONE will be around £200

The Oneplus One is said to have great stereo speakers as well. I don't know if they're as good as the ones of the HTC One though.

The problem is the speakers are placed on the bottom of the phone. Also the only advantage I can see from them being stereo is being louder due to constructive interference as I can't see much of a 'stereo effect' coming from speakers with that little separation...

That would be awesome thanks, I'm not expecting them to be as good but I hope they are better than the speakers on something like the S5.
id have to say id be coming from a Galaxy S4. i miss CM and im srsly debating on whether to get a N5 or not or just wait for the oneplus. although their contest sounds interesting to smash a phone...might be a fun time to head out to the WMA.
Coming from the Nexus 5. Crazy good specs for a cheaper price. 64gb is only 350 heck yeah. OPPO quality is awesome too
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
coming from a galaxy s2, never give up my s2 because with cyanogen it still looks like a new phone and all the features like monitor mode and things i put in it.. but the oneplus one it's just "wow" that spec for that price and already with cyanogen..
i'm gonna buy one for me and also one for my mother
Just bought a HTC One M8, but I have a fully working S4 lying around, so I'll either smash it if I get picked for the contest, or just sell it and buy the OnePlus One. So then I can say I have 2 1s. One+one. Wut.
I just got a brand new Galaxy S5 two weeks ago and if I was given a ticket to purchase a One+ today, I would do it in a heartbeat and sell the Galaxy 5.
The Galaxy 5 is a great phone but all the Samsung "chrome" is driving me insane.. and I don't want to root it because of Knox.
Note 3 att If I got picked I'd smash this Knox loving locked bootloader non development having paper weight in a second...and if not I'll sell it and buy one asap

You get used to a lower quality sound. I sold my HTC One 2 weeks ago to get a G2 and even though the G2 is louder the quality it's not nearly as good as the HTC one delivered. But as I said, you just get used to what you are currently using, don't let that stop your buying impulse .
I'm also thinking of selling my G2 and buying one even though I'm clearly not get it as cheap as others since I have to import it wheter from US or China so I'll be paying around 400-500USD wich I'm currently used to pay for my flagship phones here where I live ( that's considering that I import them not buying them from the mobile companies here wich totally ripe u off with prices as crazy as 1000USD )
From a Samsung Exhibit II. Yea, I'm quite due for an update!
Gonna jump from my HTC One (M7) it have served me well, but my body is now ready for a bigger screen, the OPO seems like a perfect fit, as I also love it coming with CM11S as the default rom.
I will buy a new phone tomorrow. ..Any suggestions for a good phone.I was thinking about LG G3...what do you think?

You really need to know what to buy ? Well ain't that cute.
There are 50 million reviews on the Web of all the newer phones and you still want an opinion.
And now you'll decide on 2 opinions which you will get here, if. Interesting.
Sent from my N9005
I don't know why did you pick this Note 3 forum to ask your question, I guess we shall believe that you are confused between the Note 3 and the LG G3?
Well if that's the case then all I can say before buying the Note 3 I was in exact same situation. I was liking the G3, the screen to body ratio it has is really nice, the design is appealing, Knock code is good, OIS enabled camera, curved back is easy to hold and handle, and that display, well it isn't Note 3 class, but still it's QHD (which I personally find meaningless though). Also I personally believe that any UI is better than TouchWiz. But then I came across these two topics,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/crackgate-real-cause-concern-t2890331
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/problem-phone-coverage-t2923043
Also there's the over-sharpening issue of display, which I don't know fixable or not. And how much custom support does it have? Does it have a good kernel? If custom support matters to you that is.
To keep it short mate, LG is still not Samsung, they might be making a lot of progress, maybe at faster rate than Samsung did, but as of now if you want a complete and polished package then you might wanna go with Note 3. Also IMHO, if you can utilize the S Pen then that thing alone can kill any device without it.
Now your choice, remember this is Note 3 section, so if any comments are to come it will favour the Note 3, the opposite will happen if you had asked this on G3 section, that's quite normal, but the above opinion of mine is a completely unbiased one. If I didn't like the G3 I would not have wasted two weeks of continuous reading about it.

I don't think the note 4 is worth much of an upgrade. CPU OC and firmware port can achieve what the note 4 has to offer. Other than the camera.

As an upgrade from a Note 3, no, it's not worth it at all.
But as an entirely new device coming from something different? I think it is.

I disagree with some points.
Camera and screen are better on the s6, but TouchWiz is garbage lol. If you've never expecienced Vanilla Android (Oxygen, CM, AOSP), then that's probably why you think TW is great.
USB-C has a lot of issues, mostly because some cheap branding are making ****ty wires that could break your phone, and the fast charging or samsung works great imo.
Samsung is probably the best hardware company for android, but their software sucks. However, we can't deny that every new feature that they've been implementing in TW has been ported to AOSP on the next build (fingerprint scanner, battery saver, multi window etc).
My best android experiences so far have been with my nexus. I had 3 samsung and i regretted each of them. Never going back with sammy again.

For this period there is no dilemma. OP3 has problems in software that need to be fixed. Wait a few months, read if the problems are totally fixed and the decide. If you want now to buy one of them then i would recommend S6 because it's a more safe choice and it's still competitive to flagships of 2016. Personally if i lost it i would buy it again.
