buy now!
if you wait for a new phone, then the new galaxy wll be out before your contract ends and youll really really want that one!!
Good phone. high specs. but it's down to YOUR buget... do you want a expensive hih end phone? or will a phone at a cheaper price do?
Just got the SGS II. Had an S I before. SII is amazing. No lag on any games. Quadrant scores are 3500 plus or 4000 plus if you over clock it.
Its fast smooth with excellent functionality
Motorola Razer ftw

These threads amuse me. Here's 5 phones, pick one. And asking in the SGS2 section no less. That's like asking a bunch of Mac owners if they should buy a Mac or a PC.
Clearly you're open to a new carrier because you're choosing between 5 phones. If you had to stay with a specific carrier, that already cuts your choices down to 2 or 3 since the SGS2 and Sony handsets don't support the same 3G bands as the HTCs. Your country will factor in as well since launch availability, pricing, and local carrier discounts will incentivize some phones over others.
Those are just some of the considerations that don't even have anything to do with the phones themselves. Of those 5 choices, how many here have had 20 minutes hands-on with more than 2 of them? I haven't. Most of the opinions here will likely come from hours of aggregating editorial reviews. While those are valuable in their own way, asking a forum pales in comparison to doing that research on your own. Also, you can bet that almost no one here has played with a Sensation yet.
OP, I don't mean to be a douche but nobody here will offer a more meaningful opinion than one you could come up with on your own.

If you want a future proof phone say atleast for a year or two..
then the SGS 2 and Sensation are your best bet..
SGS2- you will be able to root and make sure you have the latest software thansk to XDA
Sensation - will not be able to root yet (locked bootloader) until some brilliant XDA members manages to crack it
I am considering the Sensation as I feel I hopefully wouldn't need to root it for atleast a year or two by which time somebody might have cracked its boot loader
The milestone has been out almost 2 years and the bootloader is still not cracked

I can get a high end phone price isnt a issue just need a phone which can last for a year or two, should be durable i am not a fan of rooting devices so i dont really need that until it is necessary to meet the techonolgy in shape of updates.
Sony phones look like toys with good feature, HTC looks solid, i have Samsung Wave at the moment though it has great features but the Bada OS which is not cracked yet, so i want to try Android now.
So far by reading reviews, user comments, watching videos i have found SGSII best but on the other hand there are people complaining about battery, sound, lag, reboots etc etc which is really confusing.
Note: I am from Pakistan so contract thing doesnt work here, i will get a Sim Free phone by paying full price of it thats why it is really necessary to do a research and ask for guidance.
How about the Google Nexus S (made by Samsung).
Always reqcieved the latest Android updates straight from Google.
Very stable.
NFC reader.
Many Custom ROMs.
Identical hardware to the Samsugn Galaxy S i9000 (4" AMOLED i9020, or sLCD i9023)
The phone feels like a phone in your hands.
No lag unlike the Samsung i9000.
About 350 Euros last time I checked.
handtec.co.uk post internationally.
Sadly, no microSD card, no FM Radio. Lacks some hardware enabled codecs for video, but still plays most and can play other formats using software decoding.
The hardware of Nexus S isnt outdated ? I guess most of the future applications will support dualcore phones.
Have mine for two days now and I must say this one of the best phones I got my hands on.
Battery life is amazing. Camera it's amazing.samsung's email client and screen is fantastic.
And 1.2ghz dual prossessor is so so fast.. Can't even compare to htc vision oc 1.8ghz cm7.

We get it, your battery life sucks. Take a look at your apps, because the majority of users say the battery life is great. I've done no tweaking except freezing a few hubs, everything still syncs in the background and I'm sitting on 92% now, unplugged at 7am this morning. (It's now 2:20pm here.)
I just got my sgs2, my previous phone was a desire but I miss htc sense already. But I am hoping someone will port sense to the sgs2 soon there already is a mostly working port for the sgs1
There's a new phone to the L series. Looks kinda like the 4x but lower specs. The icons look good and has some handy new features...

I got this phone yesterday, it feel nice and good in hand. And it is surprising fast too.
Really like Quick Translator, did works good. Tried with some Swedish -> Thai. Just hope mods get kick on this phone so root will be available.
Would love to use Link2SD on it.
Cool device and I love it
Pretty old specs for a new phone :/
How much did it cost?
planning to buy one for 79euro with 10 euro contract ... it will replace the old faithfull galaxy s :crying: .... still emotionally attached to it, so it will be a hard time for me ... awaiting more feedback from those of you who allready bought it.. what about battery life ? thanks

That's because it was made as a midrange phone and not as a top end. Excellent for those who are loyal to LG products but can't afford the best of the best.

I personal love it very much, really like white version and it feel good in hand. Nothing special that I could come up with that is bad.
It have what you need, it look more expensive than it is hehe. Well downside I could come up with is camera, wish there was more MP but well look at the price, for the price this phone is really good. Oh one more thing, intern storage should have been larger, but if someone come up with root for this device you can easily use Link2SD.
Love battery life, it's excellent! It's so sexy XD

the more we ask the more chance we have to get a forum for this device

Hi all,
I heard a lot about the xda community, and its truly a wonderful place. I own a samsung galaxy s phone and I am looking to purchase a new phone, currently I am confused in between the HTC one x and Samsung galaxy s3. Can you guys please help me in choosing the one correct for me. If any of you can take some time out and pin down some content which can help me choose, it would greatly help me.
I am looking for a phone which looks great and does'nt get outdated quickly in the future, I am really annoyed by the fact that samsung didnot rollout ICS for galaxy S. So i need a beast which looks phone. I have narrowed my options to S3 and One X.
Any help would be grateful.and sorry If i am not supposed to post such threads( I am new here).
Thanks,
Sid
Well personally what swung this decision for me was the s3 had a removable battery and also a micro Sd slot. I think also the s3 is easier rooted and modified.
If your in UK I would also recommend getting the s3 lte version as this newer version has 4g capabilities and 2gb ram, so a little more future proof than the original s3. Yes I know not all networks support 4g but they probably will within your next contract term and shops like carphone warehouse should have the 4g model unlocked for any network.

I will add that at this moment it is unknown how good the developer support for the lte is going to be so patience may benefit you
As a owner of both, in my opinion:
- built quality : better on hox, but you have to be aware of quality issues on htc, there is a o lot, screen, gaps, Wi-Fi range issues. Sgs3 feels cheaper in a hand, but hasn't got that many built problems. But if you'll get perfect hox then is better than sgs3.
- screen : better on hox, no pentile, better brightness. But on sgs3 screen is still very good.
- sound : sgs3 is a absolute winner, sound is loud and rich. On hox, well ... there is sound, just it.
- battery life : better on sgs3 by about 25% on usage on both
- camera : better quality on sgs3, but on hox still acceptable
- ergonomy : better on sgs3, power button on the right side, home button on the bottom. On hox this little power button on top is annoying. You also have battery and sdcard access on sgs3.
- ui experience : it's depends what you like, they are both smooth, I prefer Samsung new touchwiz, for the first time it's my default launcher. Sense changing default android too much, but it's still nice, some people love it.
Sgs3 is so friendly if you want to root, on hox it's more complicated.
My choice is sgs3, for the look - I'm bored with htc design, bigger screen and still good quality even if hox screen is a little bit better, sdcard, removable bigger battery, much better sound quality and camera, ease of rooting and modding. Hox is now in my gf hands.

I currently own both devices so i'll try to sum up the pros and cons of each device from my point of view.
Galaxy SIII
The screen is AMOLED which is a big plus for me as I like the "true blacks" and those oversaturated colours ;P
The front facing camera is much better than that on the one x but that's to be expected (1.9MP vs 1.3MP)
The s3 is a little bit "smoother" than the one x when both are on stock roms
The s3 doesn't overheat at all compared to the one x which you can feel it getting warm
The s3 has a removable back cover but to be honest I didn't need it at all while flashing custom roms
hTc One X
The build quality on this thing is just so much better than my s3 and it feels much better in the hand
Buttons are not as sensitive as on the s3 which again is a plus for me
They both have great cameras and speaker performance.
I wouldn't consider a one x if I were you. Look at the one x + that's just been released. It's supposedly faster than an s3 now, with better battery and sound than a standard one x
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Rather than build quality I would actually say form style. Build quality infers that the S3 is produced badly
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I spent literally weeks undecided and unable to buy either in case I made the wrong decision.visited loads of stores and handled and tested numerous handsets. Could have got the x 5 quid a month cheaper but eventually plumped for the sgs3.
What swung it for me? Well to be honest the only attractions of the one x were the cheap price and improved design and feel - yes it really does look and feel so much better in the hand.
However, having had the sgs1 and nexus s I am a big galaxy fan (whereas my missus is an HTC fan). The big issue was the removable sd card. My first acquisition after purchase was a 64gb card. Ican't have aphone for maybe 2 years and worry about storage. The other big consideration is the Samsung developer community which was a great experience when I had the sgs1 and has migrated to the sgs3.
In summary I'm satisfied with my choice which was a tough one and might have been different if the one x had removable storage.
Good luck with your deliberations, either way I'm sure you'll be happy with either of these great phones

Thank you everyone for taking your time out to give advice. I think I will go for S3, I had to choose between Look and Performance, One X i think has a very good build quality whereas S3 is a beast when it comes to performance. So im choosing performance, I will probably hit a store today and tomorrow and will purchase S3.
Thanks all.

Samsung phones have by far the largest dev community, if you are a fan of XDA this shouldnt really be a difficult decision. Personally I couldnt live without a SD card or being able to switch the battery, especially when things go wrong when flashing stuff.
I actually prefer the build quality on sammy phones to that of HTC, i prefer them to be light rather than brick solid.
Hey guys I'm trying to decide which of these devices I should upgrade to. Mainly asking the people who have had both the one and the g2.
I'm leaning towards the one because of the great speakers and I've heard the screen has more accurate colors. The screen is my biggest priority I want the most realistic looking screen for pics and vids. Do u notice the 40 pixel density difference? The difference in super LCD vs IPS?
Also will the g2 get decent dev support? Another reason im leaning towards the one.
Also interested in overall experience. Thanks for your input.

So it looks like the ones screen is better in most of those graphs?
I have both HTC one and LG G2 but I had sold the One already.
1. 5.2" > 4.7" (But the size & hand feel is similar)
2. Snapdragon 800 > Snapdragon 600
3. HTC One has purple camera issue (physical damage to CMOS due to over exposed, not fixable, need to send back to HTC to change the camera)

HTC One dev support doesnt help on the VZW version (considering they quickly shut down the HTC Dev site before anyone could root/unlock bl)
I can see the G2 dev support being close to the same as the Gnex, and thats saying a lot.

Yeah that's right. Especially Viper ROM for the HTC One is the best custom ROM I've ever seen on any Android device. The possibilities for tweaking stuff are endless. It would be very hard for me to give up on this.
I'm definitely looking to sell my one for the g2

Just curious, what gives you that idea? It would be awesome if true, but it's kind of hard to believe. GNex support has been awesome since the beginning and, while tapering off now 2 years later, is still going strong.
I'm a manager at a verizon store and I own both devices right now. Personally the One is a good device and all but its already an old device and the dev support is there if you get s-off which by no means is easy. Hboot 1.54 is virtually impossible to get around at the moment unless you send your device somewhere to get it done. Even though I use apex launcher to skin Sense 5 wasn't horrible besides blinkfeed because you cant get rid of it at all. Battery sucks on the One also and there's no denying that. The one has a beautiful screen and the speakers and the build quality thats it. The g2 has awesome battery and the screen is awesome. Software wise I actually like there skin but you can easily root and change stuff. The g2 will have good dev support I believe. In the end its up to you though but either phone you will like. :good:
I'll chime in too.
I had the One and now the G2, with a brief two-week stint on an S4 as well. I prefer the G2 overall to all of these devices. The screen is fantastic and once you look at it, it's hard to go back to the 4.7" screen of the HTC One. I know the question was "which has more accurate colors?" but as far as usability and pleasing to the eyes, it's the G2 hands down (for me).
What completely sold me was the battery life of the G2. My One was dead by the end of my work day and the G2 battery life is easily hours longer. Strangely enough, the device does not feel any larger than the One in any way. I love the rear buttons, the camera is great and really the only thing I can see the One having is front-facing speakers. Yes, I will miss those, but it's a rare occasion where I actually rely on my phone speakers for entertainment.
All in all, I think the G2 is the best phone out right now. I would have tried the Xperia Z1, but I'm not playing the waiting game for a US release again (and it will probably be $759 anyhow). I walked into the AT&T store and paid the retail price of $579 for this G2 and will never look back. Yes, it's plastic, but it's built extremely well and just feel lovely to hold. It's so much phone for $579, especially considering the retail prices of the other two I had were higher, if not significantly.
Oh, one last thing - the G2 has a notification light that you can actually see. The One has one that you can see if you know which of the 200 speaker grill holes to look at
Edit: One last, last thing...I rooted mine, installed TWRP and flashed Scott's CleanROM this morning. With all the AT&T junk gone, this phone is darn near perfect.

I called about 10 different Tmobile stores in the Western Chicagoland area. 8 of them have the phone in stock but none have it in white. I was told I would have to wait until Wednesday 9/25/13 to see if its available on the official launch day...
That sux. I had my One all packed up ready for exchange...
Personally, If you're choosing between them, I think your thread & my thread have just about all the different reasons why we should switch to the G2.
It seems the general consensus are people who had the HTC One are happier they switched to the G2 despite all the Boomsound speakers the One provides.
You lose that with the G2 but gain in all other departments. That's why I'm switching

Carried by all major carriers, and international
Spec-wise its a developers (and geeks) dream
Already been rooted and Loki-d so its ready to receive any custom ROM developed for it.
I don't think it will be very long before we see CM on it either. It seems to be that once CM is there, lots and lots follow.
Ive used a ton of different ROMs on my Gnex but I keep coming back to the same 2 or 3, and I know at least one of them is fully prepared to port to the G2 if they can get the files/hardware they need.

Well, the S3 is still a very good smartphone with a very good camera, but it wont receive any updates from samsung...
Work is in progress and I think, when the KitKat for the LTE version (I9305) will be released, it will become very stable
I think its worth, chek posts here, there are something like this question, there are more answers..

From my point of view it doesn't worth to buy s3 in 2014 and I will tell you why, don't get me wrong it is a good phone but not extraordinary.That 1 GB of ram is not that capable with 4.3, or 4.4 sammy and the bad exynos processor bleahh, so I advise you not to buy S3, or any Samsung( it is a totally s*** ), now depends on how much money you have for your new phone

Maybe take a look at the S4? It costs around 300$ if you find the right seller
Now I would buy a nexus 5, a little bit more expensive but it's a really nice phone.
After a S1 and a S3 I also need some changes.
Yosh,
Don't forget the LG3.
G3,S4,NX5 all of them are expensive in my country.Maybe G pro has same price as SGS3.Will try to look up at right seller.

Maybe take a look at the S4? It costs around 300$ if you find the right seller

From my point of view it doesn't worth to buy s3 in 2014 and I will tell you why, don't get me wrong it is a good phone but not extraordinary.That 1 GB of ram is not that capable with 4.3, or 4.4 sammy and the bad exynos processor bleahh, so I advise you not to buy S3, or any Samsung( it is a totally s*** ), now depends on how much money you have for your new phone

great features,yeah maybe...features like smart scroll,smart stay and other smart features I never used,this occupe alot of RAM and slows down the device and if the device has 1 gb of ram the situation is even worst.Best phones NO,I mean there a alot of brands better than Samsung,if you ever used a HTC you know what I mean,it(HTC,in general) has not as much bloat as samsung puts in their phones,samsung puts tooooo much bloat...of course this is just my opinion and I still don't recommend Samsung anymore,I regret that I bought S3 but this is the life

Hmm...don't know what to say I used a HTC one s and at that time I had a s2 as well and the one s was more faster, cooler and the battery was much better so I remain at my point of view that Samsung is no more a big manufacturer, at least for me... )
And if I would to buy a new phone I definitely choose a AOSP phone, like nexus 5 or ONEPLUS ONE

I'd also say don't bother. The display's picture quality is rather poor compared to the competitors at the time and all of the current gen high-end phones. My phones wifi is defective, effectively giving me 2-3m range. The back peels off and the fake metal plastic rim gets damaged very easily. The led indicator is only good at displaying R, G or B, as it doesn't mix effectively at all. The display and resolution needs to be a bit larger, as the lack of quality makes certain tasks difficult. I'd suggest a bigger display anyway. The Samsung official software (I'm currently using S5 software), is rather lacking, it hides useful Android features and gives a plethora of useless features which are poorly organised into categories.
I'm considering getting a new phone. It's hardware is pretty good, but it could be so much better in every aspect.

Get a g2. Port over sense and collect that $1000 bounty. Then get whatever phone your heart desires
No, Don't buy it. If u want an older smartphone choose the HTC One M7. S3 is just too outdated imo and I hate touchwiz from samsung hence why I have AOSP
If I were you go I'd go for Moto G.If from older devices: HTC One M7,also if you can look at HTC Desire 816 (if price in your country of it isn't very high) if price is too high you can look at HTC Desire 601.If you wanna be update to date with Android updates choose Nexus 5 .Just everythng depends on your needs. But Galaxy S3 won't get official Kitkat update (so officially it abandoned and forgotten by Samsung) also,Sudden Death syndrome bug (it will only depend on luck if you will get affected or not affected by it)
