To me dual core seems to be the deal breaker.
After spending a lot of time with the Atrix, not sure its the dealbreaker I once thought.

The atrix just sucks period, the sgs2 will be a lot better in every way.
I'm actually weighing HTC Infuse vs Galaxy
there is no such thing as an HTC infuse, there is a samsung infuse tho with 4.5" screen, is that the one ur referring to?
Crap...exactly. My bad.
The Infuse is basically a Captivate with a 4.5" screen. If screen size is more important to you, then go for it. I would rather have the SGS 2 though.
SGS2 all the way for me....
eagerly waiting for the AWS frequency model
u should edit the tittle infuse 4g vs galaxy s II
I haven't heard anything about the infuse since CES. I don't know if it is even still alive.
From the hands-on impressions I read, the infuse seems to have a nicer build quality. If the price is right and the release date is sooner than the SGS2, it looks like a good alternative for people who want the SuperAMOLED Plus display.
I'm pretty sold. Are the processors the same?..anyone know offhand?
What are you talking about? You said you didn't care about dual-core...
I'm pretty sold on the Infuse. I don't really KNOW the extent that dual core makes a difference with these mobile devices. Speed wise, I wasn't impressed with the Atrix.
If dual core allows me to switch effortlessly between two different roms it'd be worth it.
So I'm also really intrigued by the Sams GAL2. No doubt.
These and the LG 3D that loom as state of the art 2011.
Right now I'm contrasting Infuse and GalS2.

To be honest I had the same thoughts when I bought my Motorola Milestone. Now, a year later, it is just sloooow. I do have a lot running in the background but I can't do without it. As time passes, more and more apps get optimized for dual-core. Also games become heavier and heavier. I am going to sell my Milestone and get a SGSII
The biggest benefit of having dual core is load balancing and on-the-fly clock speed/voltage adjustment. It all adds up to better battery life and smoother transitions between applications. Benchmark scores will remain almost unchanged however.
You're gonna trade .2"... for last years phone?
What?!
If I recall, the CES stated that the Infuse 4G would be running on a 1.2 ghz Hummingbird processor.

This is correct.
Both will sport Super AMOLED+ screens. 4.5" on the Infuse and 4.3" on the SGSII.

The Inspire was just released and has last-gen guts in it. Still a great phone for the price ($399 off-contract). If the Infuse has a decent price, it is a good option for those who don't care about dual-core or NFC. The dual-core jump seems to have less of an impact than say, when Android jumped from the 600mhz Droid to the 1Ghz behemoths, at least for smartphone speed and usability anyway. That .2" can make a difference (like the iPhone vs the Nexus One) and the anorexic and more plasticky build (comparably) of the SGS2 may be a concern. At least there won't be any surprises with Hummingbird whereas Exynos is still a mystery right now. I just hope they both have the same stellar 1080p capture.
I heard that samsung changed the infuse from 4.5 to 4.3.
Your s***ting me....where'd you get that?

Alright i have a Samsung Galaxy S and will be upgrading to a new device but torn between so many phones. I'm with Bell Canada and so far my choices are as follows:
HTC Raider LTE
Samsung Galaxy S II 4G
Google Galaxy Nexus
LG Optimus LTE
Each phone has its flaws:
Raider
preformed slow in benchmark test vs SGSII
Crappy Battery
SGSII
Not LTE
only wvga and not qHD/HD (720P)
Galaxy Nexus
No micro SD and worse camera then SGSII
Optimus LTE
LG has a bad track record for updates and hardware(never like LG Phones)
Each Phone has it qualities:
Raider
Sence vs Touchwiz (I think Sence is better integrated in the OS the Touchwiz)
qHD
Think HTC has better built quality the Samsung
SGSII
Super AMOLED
Better Benchmarks then Raider
Galaxy Nexus
Android 4.0 ICS
HD Display
Stock Google (no bloatware like Sence or Touchwiz)
LG Optimus LTE
LTE
HD Display
Lite wait integration so similar to AOSP.
Things I'm looking for in a superphone, browsing the web without delay. Quick app launches, Graphics for games, Battery life that last a full day with moderate to heavy usage. XDA Dev support, I guess this is the biggest if there are no Dev's making custom ROM/Kernels then the phone is not worth it. I don't think 16GB (13GB Usable) is enough for me with all my music and apps so Miro SD is a must unless internal is 32GB.
You could further limit your choices to the Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy Nexus. Here's a comparison: http://10division.com/samsung-galax...xy-s2-the-complete-ultimate-comparison-guide/ and a benchmark: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352839. Even though the Galaxy Nexus scored higher in the benchmark, don't be deceived. ICS was optimized for dual core, so when the SGS2 gets ICS, many people believe it will knock out the Galaxy Nexus. At the moment the SGS2 has more development going on. Hope your choice is a bit easier .
ohh i agree these these phones are still new and it will take till Feb/March to actually seem some good solid development.
But no it does not make my choice easier, because ICS on SGS is most likey 6 or so months away. It terms of integration i would rather have Google stock then touchwiz as i find it bloated and ugly (too iPhoneish). By far the best integration is HTC Sense but then it also uses more resources.
I wonder is there is stable CyogenMOD for SGSII coz that will solve some problems.
I think it boils down between the Raider and SGSII. Maybe i'm just favoring HTC as i own a few samsung devices (Omnia 2, Wave, Galaxy 7500, Galaxy S) and and find they always have stupid limitations. Where as i never owned HTC but they tend to listen to the customer and try to give you best of the best in both hardware and software, but never owning one i could be shooting myself in the foot.
ARG still very much undesired.

Actually, it's closer than you think. ICS is confirmed for the SGS2 for December 2011.
Source: http://androidadvices.com/android-ice-cream-sandwich-mobiles-tablets-announcement-table/.
Yeah but that's most likely Europe, Canada (Bell Canada) didn't get Gingerbread until 2.3.3. So if the trend is the same its going to be at least 6 months from the first ICS release.
I only saw one firmware release of Froyo and one release of Gingerbread in Canada in the last 2 years. So we tend to laggy behind, don't know who is to blame Samsung or Bell but that's the way it has always been here.
The specs on the LG Optimus LTE make it difficult to ignore. I want to see one of these before I pass judgement.
Hmm I would take HTC cause I don't trust Samsung and LG enough. They don't convinced me by their previous devices.

I'm in the market for a new phone too and looking into whats what. Did you consider the Sensation XE? I've been totally sold on SENSE but since a couple of weeks on CM with a decent launcher and widgets I can't go back to SENSE. This is on my current Desire HD. Now I'm free to choose anything that has good CM support. But in the end I swayed to XE because of the battery capacity and smaller screen compared to Nexus. CM looks pretty active on the native Sensation.
I've read today that some Samsung Galaxy Nexus have problems with volume. It's still not known the reason (hw or sw) but it seems that if two SGN are near, the volume calls of one influences the other one sound volume.
Google it to have more infos.

Bell does not have the Sensation XE, I'm still leaning towards the Raider and if sense starts to slow it down then i can always go CM that is if the Dev's support it. Don't even have a fourm for it here on XDA, sure have the HTC vivid but i would like its own fourm. Samsung's SGSII look good but it still samsung they don't have the best integration with the OS and somethings do not work.
LG i can't say never owned one but reading about LG support it seems it worse then Samsung.

Do you have any proof of this?
On paper the optimus lte is the best phone to get, assuming ics update comes out for it. I had the phone on order and will be canceling it tomorrow. Why? Well...what we didn't know till now is the actual processor used in the phone. Whereas the galaxy nexus uses an omap 1.5ghz clocked down to 1.2ghz, which saves battery life (and could be oc'd again if you root it), the optimus lte actually uses an outdated apq8060 qualcomm processor which is rated at 1.2ghz. They've then over clocked it to reach 1.5ghz. That leads to huge battery drain, giving the phone a 3 hour battery life compared to 6 hours on the galaxy nexus.
I don't know why lg did this. The phone it was designed to co Pete with, the galaxy s2 hd lte (which is released in Korea only so far) runs the msm8660 processor at a stock 1.5ghz, and is able to provide just over 5 hours of talk time. Again...compared to just 3 hours on the optimus lte. It's a ridiculous move by lg and ruined a phone that had a "lot" of potential.

I should have clarified....outdated for a phone that's trying to be the #1 in terms of hardware and processing power. The fact they went with the apq8060 instead of the msm8660 at the very least is disappointing.

How do you figure? Speed has nothing to do with the MHz or GHz. Different architectures can do more work per cycle than others. The CPU in this phone is so bad that it will die after 1 hour and 25 minutes of streaming a Netflix video. Whereas the iPhone can pull about 6 hours.
TI's omap processors are far better than the current qualcomm s3 chips. Samsung's exynos is better even yet. Maybe when the s4 krait quad-2.5ghz come out they'll do better as they're 28nm as opposed to 45nm on the current chips. But then the exynos will beat it out again.
I spent 5 hours of my day playing around with this phone. Everything about it is quite decent. Feels great in my hand. Super light weight. Beautiful display. Better browser and benchmarks than other similar phones. But has like half the battery life too...at unacceptable levels. Skip this phone.
---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 AM ----------
P.s. I should add that the galaxy nexus is far outperforming this phone in benchmarks. And it is running a 1.5ghz chip that's been Downclocked to 1.2ghz. So you could always set it back to stock speeds and get a 20% performance boost in non-gpu activities. Once the nexus launches in early December I'll get to test it out for myself but from all the tests I've seen, the only problem you could have with the phone is that it's a super amoled, and not a super amoled plus screen. Though at 720p that may not be such a huge issue.
I've had many Samsung phones and then made the switch to the HTC sensation 4G. Forget the fact that it is thicker and oh so much heavier then Samsung phones. But Sense as pretty as it is takes way to much power, and battery life is non existent! People would constantly complain of sound quality and had many dropped calls. Took me almost 4 months to understand, but once i did i ran back to samsung and am now sporting the Tmobile SGSII and it is lighter, thinner, oh so much faster! and smoother then the Sensation. everyone noticed an improved voice quality and no more dropped calls!
Can I nip this question in please!
Between the SGS2 and Sensation XE if both are running say CM7 at approx the same CPU, which one would likely have a better battery life?

The Samsung Galaxy SII.
i suggest get the Samsung Galaxy S2. its like having a laptop putting it in a compact Smartphone. S2 does it all from gaming, entertainment, document editing etc.
I know this have been discussed numerous times but i dig into different forums but i don't find what i need.
I want to know which is better between the two in performance. I know that galaxy nexus has lower specs but is optimized for ICS and galaxy s2 Have higher specs and will get ICS but i want to know who will perform better in the future OS (android 5.0,6.0 etc....) may be it is a rom or official one and will handle games smoothly?(
I had seen a video on youtube- a comparison between GS2 and GN on gaming. Asphalt 6 is the game and the GN is able to run the games a little smoother than GS2. knowing that gs2 has more powerful gpu how is that possible?
How well does the GN's camera compete with GS2's camera? is the difference really huge in quality and details with GS2?
Lastly, I know the GN's screen is HD but a pentile one and the s2 is not pentile. Does the screen in the GN is obviously better than GS2 (like on the picture and watching movie that on GN's screen difference with s2 is very noticeable?) or does the difference is not that noticeable unless you look at it very near?
i know it's a bit long but i will say thank you in advance for clarifying these to me.
Wait for Galaxy S3, its coming in May 3rd.
performance... i think when do you want more performance, you should choose galaxy nexus.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Reason?
Korean Galaxy s2 -Why did you choose GN even though it has a lower specs?
OK I'll take a minute. I have the Gnex and my wife the S2.
OK for sure the s2 has a bit faster CPU and gpu. But to be honest nobody notices the difference. Both are fast and smooth. I put aokp on my wife's s2 yesterday and it's fast as hell. Just like the Gnex. What really sucks is that the Gnex doesn't have a micro SD slot.
But the main difference and the biggest is the screen and the camera. The super AMOLED HD screen is absolutely amazing the colors and definition are the best. The camera from the s2 has 8MP but the fotos and videos from the Gnex are just better. Fotos and videos on the s2 just look a bit weak compared to the gnex .
And for the future I think that the Gnex will handle the updates just a bit better because of the plain vanilla

Ok, so quick poll:
I'm trying to decide to upgrade right now (pre-order) with the S3, or wait until fall for the rumored Galaxy Note Competitor from HTC.
Source: http://phandroid.com/2012/04/26/veri...itor-from-htc/
Samsung GS3:
Dual-Core Krait Processor
2GB of RAM??
4.8 inch Pentile Super AMOLED display (720p)
HTC Memo (Like the name?):
Quad-Core Krait Processor
Adreno 320 GPU
1080p Non-Pentile Display
The only downside i see to the HTC one would be that I'd lose grandfathered unlimited data, so that's something to consider.
Thoughts?
If you want a big screen and be able to use a SD card I'd get the s3
I am looking forward to the fall for an HTC Note, after seeing the One X i was very impressed with the UI and feel of the phone. I'm not happy with samsungs huge delay in updates
The htc note competitor looks incredible spec wise, if it has a removable battery and sd it would be insane.
highly doubt these specs are true, especially a 1080p screen

Lulz ... yeah htc has a great record for updates ....just ask the amaze forum members.
Coming form the one xl I will tell you this: gs3 all the way
And o say that because I hate samsung phones. But the multi tasking issues (its bad, updates havnt fixed it), no sd card slot, no removable battery....ftml
I just got my gs3 yesterday.
No doubt its giant plastic pos, physical build and design is kmart style, but damn what a sick phone. Super fast, no lag and camera smokes the hoXl.
The one x screen crushes the gs3, but I will not go back. Plusses htc sucks with their locked bootloader bs. Go for the gs3.
Yes I know you were not talking about the onex, but I don't have much faith in htc with the way they handle updates and locked bl bs.

even if, samsung galaxyS3 has big screen. but inmy opinion HTC has Fabulous Features available. in my opinionit is good Competitors.
I found this video, as I was comparing the benefits of S3 over an S2.
I thought, that the 4 cores would have made a difference in opening apps and surfing with the browser.
But there is hardly any difference??
Do you think, that the developers will work towards the 4-core processors or not?
I think it will take another few years, till the quadcore will be used appropriately. Till then, the S3 will be replaced by newer models.
As sad as it is, most probably quadcore development will start as soon as apple decides using quadcores.
What do you think about this video? And what benefits are left to buy the S3 if everything is the same?
Pointless. This video was posted weeks ago.
I have come to a similar conclusion, quad core seems to offer no real benefits (that I can see) over dual core. My HTC one s, is much smoother and quicker than my gs3. We're it not for the fantastic screen I would keep the HTC. I can't see one possible benefits to quad core at this time.

i dont agree with u on that. S2, no doubt is still among the top phones in the world but not after release of S3! S3 has quad core, it opens apps in almost double the time it used to open on my s2 or even Note! as far as the development for the quad core is concerned, samsung is a pretty mean and biased manufacturers when it comes to taking the crown in almost any field! they would not let any smartphone beat their flagship at least until the release of S4! what i found after using my S3 for 4 days is that quad cores of s3 are actually not fully unleashed until now, thats the reason samsung is not giving out new roms with real good performance boosts! samsung is working on providing the best possible roms and updates to the s3! it would not leave its flagship alone! i did exactly everything the guy in the video was doing and i find my s3 much faster than his! and btw, i have not rooted or flashed the phone at all untill now! its just out of the box rom!

Oh is your S3 faster than the one in the Video?
SGS2 - 800x480 = 384,000 pixels
SGS3 - 1280x720= 921,600 pixels
what you tits don't realize is that the SGS3, with it's magnificent 720p resolution screen, has to push a whopping 2.4x more pixels than the SGS2 - making the quad-core vital in providing a fast, fluid and buttery smooth experience - which surpasses even the SGS2 (with its ****ty resolution) making it an even more impressive feat in engineering.
It simply blazes past devices with similar screens and resolution and makes them seem laggy (Gnex, Note, One X)
Hence, the SGS3's main feature isn't merely it having a quad-core processor, it's actually utilizing that quad-core processor to provide a the fastest, most seamless and unmatched user experience at such a high resolution.
I like poketnow, but I do think this video and the whole notion of the s3 being as fast as the s2 is wrong in my opinion I got my s3 a few days ago, and I still have and use my s2 clocked at 1.4ghz, and it is defiantly more laggy and slower. Web rendering was so much faster and smoother (although it was just as smooth as GB used to be on the s2 before Samsung screwed up ICS for the s2), and opening the same cpu intensive apps put the s2 to shame. Yes when opening things like the phone, or messaging app there was no difference and I won't expect them to be, as how it opens instantaneously on my s2 anyway, so there is so room for speed improvements. Also, I remember sites saying there wasn't much difference between the s1 and s2 speed wise when the s2 came out, and looking back now the s2 feels sooo much faster than the s1 simply because there are a lot more complicated and cpu intensive apps compared to a year ago. In other words I do think my s3 is much faster than my s2.

Really? It seems people have very different perceptions. My previous phone the Qualcomm S4 HTC One X stuttered like someone on withdrawal from heroin so I went to try all the HTC One X and One S display models I could to see if it was just my handset. It wasn't and the One S was also a stuttery mess.
Funny how different perceptions can be.

In all honesty, anything the sg3 can do, the s2 can. Its a jump in performance, but the s2 is already pretty fast. The only reason I'm upgrading will be lte capabilities.

It seems as if you're in denial. The SGS2's chipset got a similar resolution pentile screen and that lagged like no tomorrow. the quad core in the GS3 was necessary to make the experience lag free.
And the SGS3 is quite a bit faster and smoother than the One X (Tegra3 - i haven't used the krait one). Try loading up NOVA3 on both, or browsing the web, or anything for that matter.
Note: i'm not discounting the fact that the One X isn't a great phone. It has it's points that best the SGS3 but speed and smoothness is clearly NOT one of them.
I've had both One X devices. AT&T branded and the International version. I also had the GS2 International. The GS3 (Quad Core), hands down, blows them all away as far as performance goes.
Milliseconds starting apps etc doesn't matter, what matters is the Smoothness. The S3 is far more smoother then s2! Someone who tried cm9,is it smoother / faster then stock.?
