Hey guys I need some advice. I am still wondering if the i9100 is still worth purchasing. I can get it brand new for 320 dollars here on Canada. While on the other hand, the galaxy S3 ranges from 500-600 dollars. Google doesn't even sell nexus devices in Canada yet? How future proof is the S2? Is the S3 really worth 200-300 more dollars? Thanks guys!
Bring the seller down to $300

Everything, literally, is different between them.
Presumably you've never compared them in use, or indeed on paper...
No. (You asked).
I've compared S3's screen with my current S2's one and i must say id much prefer the S3's :good:
The S2 has more in common hardware wise to the Gnex. So the answer to your question is yes it is still worth buying.

Im recieving my i9100 (after getting my i9100g replaced) on monday. Is it worth keeping the i9100 or should i sell it and buy the GS3?.
The market price of the i9100 in India at the moment is 27k and GS3 is 37k.
10k rupees = $181.
Also if i do sell my phone i can expect to sell it at 27k right since it will be brand new and the box sealed
in its price range Galaxy S2 is still among the best phone you can buy.
obviously S3 is much more advanced and all but its quite a bit costlier than S2and shouldn't be compared . Although personally i think S3 is way too big and single handed use of S3 is impossible .
Go for it. It's an awesome phone for the price. The s3 seems to have issues. Look at all of the people selling it already. The s2 just started being re sold commonly, because everyone liked it so well. Im keeping mine.
It's all a matter of personal preference and whether or not you actually NEED the S3 or if the S2 will suffice.
Do you need HD screen? Do you need quad core processing? Do you need NFC? blah blah blah
I still haven't bought an S3 because for now the S2 hasn't stopped me doing anything, It can play any game I throw at it, even high end games newly released, I can watch movies, surf the net, capture photos and videos and even make calls!!
For me the S2 is still an awesome and powerful phone (might I add MUCH nicer looking than the S3 also) and I think it will last me easily another 6 months, by then a phone even better than the S3 will be released
Ask yourself if you need to fork out the extra money and if the answer is yes, go for it!
Just buy the S3 or buy the S2 only if you can get it for around 200-250$, I recently bought one for 200$. Btw try to get the international S3 because the north american isn't worth it over the S2 it still lags a bit while the international one there's no lag because of the much stronger gpu.
Get it. I bought this i9000 galaxy s to replace my old gio which was really slow and had no development. Even this first gen galaxy s is totally future proof so I imagine that the s2 is even better.

Hi i guess it comes down to ur preferences. There are guys/gals who want to be on the edge of hi tech, and there are others who prefer good performance/price ratio.
S2 is a good phone, it probably has one or two years more market life.
Compare S2 eu/S3 eu:
faster camera
about %20 faster processor with quad and better batt consumption, about double pixel count
about %25 bigger screen,
about % 25 bigger battery,
Nfc support,
Wireless charging,
Much butter sound chip
u decide if it justifies double price
I'am using s2 and I'm not really planning to change yet. i hope prices will drop a bit, or a revised version with better spec and eu compatible

No one can help you but you.
Do you think you can hold that rubbish design of S III, regardless of it's specs? If yes then go on. Otherwise none of them seem the right option now, but One X.
Will suggest you s3 if you want to be futureproof and development
S3 is the ultimate phone and will be one of the best Sellers for 2012. You can't go wrong with it. Perfect design. Analyst say curvy is the new

I got the 16 gig in my SGS2 and a 32 gig card in it already. So I know 16 gig on the phone is not going to cut it. My plan is to go for at 64 gig phone and then a 64 gig SD card on top of that just becaues I am storageaholic.
That way I can carry most of my things with me to work, where I will need them. My SGS2 is my computer away from home, so extra storage means I can reduce the amount of USB drives and what not I have to carry.

I see you're using a nexus one so you're looking for a new phone. Obviously the choice between the 2 will be the Galaxy S3 unless you want to spend less. At this point, why would someone get the s2 when they can get the s3? S2 is a fine phone but s3 has everything and does everything better that's a fact. For example I would definitely recommend someone to get the galaxy nexus over the nexus s even though the nexus s is a great device.

I always had my eye on sgs2. I like it alot. But I also like the new options sgs3 has to offer.
I also like money. By picking me up a sgs2 I could save couple of hundos. But I like new tech.

@ op
if you need a better HD screen + some good battery you can go for s3. i have only mentioned two , there are also other loads of features in s3
Oh man....go for sgs3..of course its a BETTER,NEWER,FASTER,SEXIER,SMARTER,...etc device...!!!
Its a successor to the sgs2 of course it will be BETTER,NEWER,FASTER,SEXIER,SMARTER,...etc device...!!!
So go for the BETTER,NEWER,FASTER,SEXIER,SMARTER,...etc device... and buy the sgs3..... because its BETTER,NEWER,FASTER,SEXIER,SMARTER,...etc device...!!!
well honestly i laughed holding my stomach (in fact i am now)at this question when i first read it.
Well I'm in the same situation as you
I'm in LOVE with the GSII as it has a stylish design, a good performance and acceptable price
but in exchange GSIII has better graphics, better performance, better interface and higher tech but much higher price
Some times I say that I can achieve most of the advantages of GSIII by installing the new developed ICS and I'll have a good result too in GSII
I'm really confused and didn't make my decision yet

I think most will buy the iPhone 4s because it fits in on hand. The sgs 3 won't sell nearly as well as the iPhone or sgs2 because it's just too big.

So here's the thing.. I would like the Galaxy S III of course, but it has it's obvious faults, and without a scheduled upgrade from my provider I just don't think it's worth the 700+ dollars I would have to shell out.. So my thought was to buy a used Galaxy S II for around 200-300$ to tide me over until either HTC or Samsung release near perfect devices, or until the next Nexus whenever that is, do you think this would be worth it? Is development slowing down or staying the same and is 200-300$ worth it until and would it last until the next nexus or HTC/Samsung flagship?
Thanks in advanced for your opinions
Of course, S2 is still a great phone.
I will never switch for the S3, not that S3 is not better, just the S2 does everyting that S3 does..maybe S4 will give me a reason to switch.
im the kind of person that only switches cellphone or any other electronics when its really worth it, a big step ahead, or else I don´t think its worth it.
S4 will have 14 nm chipset

Dam that's amazing.. The only thing is I need the rest of it to be worth it too :S The problem with the S3 are the pentile (not a BIG deal obviously, don't care that much) the pink problem, the blacks problem, the screen being easily cracked, etc :/ maybe the S4 will blow me away
I also want a lot of dev community since for some reason the Desire Z had a TON and it would be weird not having it and like stupid amounts of ROMs
S2 is still a strong phone. No other devices offer significant improvements over what it does.
I thinks that there's not so much difference between Galaxy SII and SIII. The big difference to me is the design of the phone. Hardware of SII is actually very strong.
I don't know if the S3 has better battery life... but in other subjects S2 is not that far from S3... And the price now is very accessible as well...
SII is still great! We have a official ics which sucks but cm9 is pretty sick and stable for daily use. Oh and there are some really great roms and kernels out there.

You're looking to do exactly what I'm in the middle of doing. About 3 or 4 months ago I bought a relatively new SGSII for $300 due to my Nokia N97 breaking down about half way through my contract. It is an amazing phone and my first which is running Android. I have done lots of mods and flashed lots of roms and have really enjoyed it. At the end of the year my contract expires so the SGSII is going to my fiancée and I am going to upgrade to an SGSIII or a Galaxy Note II or the next Nexus. The SGSII is definitely a great phone with lots of support by all the great themers, modders and rom builders on XDA. Definitely recommend it.
Well I guess it really depends on the use you make of your phone.
SGS II is an excellent device on many aspects, but if you plan on playing the most recent games, for instance, I'd say the SGS III's quad-core will be more... "comfortable"?
As far as I'm concerned, I'll stick with my SGS I as long as possible, the engagement with my carrier goes to Feb 2013... Maybe SGS IV will be announced by then. Argh!!
IF you are out budget the S II is still a strong phone. Another advantage if you choose S II over other phone is community. S II has the biggest market in all Android phones and of course S II / Samsung 3rd party developers are just awesome!

Well, then its up to you, either S2 and S3 will be a big jump.
So only you know if the aspects that make S3 slightly better than S2 its worth the extra money.
IMO S2 is the best phone out there. Yes, S3 and One X are more powerful, but are the worth 600€? S2 can do exactly all the same things as those two, play HD games like Modern Combat 3 and NOVA 3 without any notable lag!
Currently, I believe S2 has the biggest community in XDA(well, it's separated to many "divisions" here, due to many different models[US Carrier specific and i9100G], but cause it's so popular, why wouldn't it be good?)
Yes, S2 is worth it. Here, it costs two times less than an S3.
last week i played with the SGS3 and the SGS2 ( a updated one ( ICS ) of a friend )
i did not notice any BIG differents between the 2 phone's
so i got myself a SGS2 and saved me 300 euro's.

Thanks for the advice guys! I will definitely be monitoring kijiji closely looking for one that's at least less than 300$ and maybe even less than 250$! Hope I find one soon!
No. Its display has low life. When people asked Samsung why did they change display in SGS3, they said that its because the samoled+ has low life and faster degradation of image quality.
For instance, some phones already had yellow tint on 30% brightness. Some have started to develop it now.
its display is great. But battery life is poor. With one charge, you will hardly be able to use (total hours of usage) it more than 8 hours given battery is new.
samoled+ is marvelous display but you will find running your phone at low brightness due to battery concerns. Whats use of such a phone then?
No wonder SGS3 has a different display.
Stock rom gave me bs battery life with my usage about 5-6 hrs but go custom with UV and UC i get 8-10 hrs! Use a little less and i get 14 hrs and im using the 1650 mh batt

The Galaxy S3 is worth every penny I paid for it. It is also the most powerful phone on the market. It is a purchase that you won't regret.
The screen is hard to read in direct sunlight. The other issue I'm having is that it's hard to stop touching it.
I had an x10 way back about 3 years ago. That phone is like a motor scooter compared to this Ferrari.
The s2 is still an excellent choice if you want an upgrade while keeping costs down but bear in mind the s3 will last you longer before you need another upgrade.

You might also look at the Galaxy Nexus which Google sell for $350. It's only dual core, but it gets latest updates directly from Google, so unlike that Sony, even two years from now you will most likely get latest Android version.
However, if you want more storage space and a high quality camera, then the S3 is a better choice. It's going cheap on ebay also. The current retail price is more than I'm willing to pay because I'm not confident of its build quality.

I am buying one in a few days. I am from Argentina and I am upgrading from a Droid 2.
I think that suits my situation very well, as I want a bigger screen device (3.7' to 4.3'). It has an excellent design, which is something i really like. It has 2 cores (1 GHz core from D2 to 2 1.2GHz cores). I am also gaining RAM.
But above all this, the phones that are currently available in Argentina (where i live) are not that great. The S3 is releasing soon but at a huge price and screen seems to big for me. Then there are not other better choices in my carrier at least. Only got Milestone 3, HTC Sensation, Razr, and stop counting. So S2 is my best choice.
See how is your situation, you are not giving many details, but I think that it's a great choice, that's why I'll buy it.
Totally worth it ..!!
I don't know if people feel the same way about the Galaxy Nexus as I do, but I think that phone is the clear choice if you're going to buy an Android today.
It's priced very competitively. I think it's 350 USD (plus taxes) from Google Play?
Here in Hong Kong, it's about 400 USD (all inclusive).
Plus, with Jelly Bean it performs just as fast (if not faster) than the new phones like the S3 and the 1X.
I've had the S2 since launch and it's great. But I recently purchased the Galaxy Nexus for my wife. I updated it to Jelly Bean and that phone makes the S2 (running CM9) seem dated.

I could have easily bought GNex days ago but reviews with camera quality, 5 MP vs 8 MP on S2 discouraged me. Also 1.3 MP vs 2 MP front camera. I always do self portraits, that's why. But GNex has sharp screen. Really a hard choice. But both are good and up to par with current and I hope future developments.
Bought 1 a few months ago after its price dropped. Imo it's worth it since i'm not subscribing to data plan

I don't know how much your budget is but (in Holland at least) for 70 euros you have the htc one s, if the extra cost is within your budget and you can get the original s4 (not the s3 variant), I would get that. It feels like a big upgrade compared to the sgs2, the screen is better, touch sensitity is better, it feels better in the had, standby is much better (up to 5 days on a single charge with light use), it feels much faster overal than the sgs2
Absolutely not IMO. Either wait for next Nexus or buy that classic designed SIII.
totally worth it, ive got this phone for 6 months now and already convinced 3 friends of buying it aswell!! And my girlfriend is soon going to sell her iphone 4 for the galaxy SIII.
The phone is very good and it got alot of roms to play with! I am happy i bought it.
The galaxy siii is ofcourse much better but also much more expensive... i would go with the s2 if i was you
Currently own S2, but next phone will be Nexus.
I don't know how it is in India, but here where I live is impossible to get a Nexus for less than U$1000 (unlocked). Really! I'm not lying. And carriers don't bring this kind of device.
Another thing to take into account is the fact that both SGS3 and Nexus are very big devices, surpassing the 13cm mark.
i9100
I've had this phone for 2 months and I really don't feel like I'm missing anything by not having an sIII or nexus... Just root the SII, and flash a sweet ROM.. (I use Resurrection Remix...) you will have a device that destroys anything that is stock.. plus... getting something epic for half the price of cutting edge is part of the fun.... also I can vouch for the 8mp camera on the i9100 it is freaking awesome!!! better than my point and shoot... and destroys any other phone camera I've used... plus 1080p video camera is freaking sweet!
Hello,
I planned to buy the S3 in thailand when I go abroad in a week, after scouting a little on the forum I noticed the SDS brick and the uncertainty of it all and i'm wondering whether I should still go for it or choose another device, and if so what is the other recommended device I can go for (n4 out of stock).
thanks in advance.

I'm thinking the same thing, asked a similar question in questions forum, those that replied said go for it. I'm still not 100% sure yet, and hoping to see some more replies here.
At the price no it has to be the Nexus .
jje
There is yet to be a better device than the galaxy s 3. If you want to go for a bargain you might consider the nexus 4 but it has a mediocre camera and is far from being the full package. The note 2 would be another competitor if the size fits you but other then that you want get a device that is the overall awesome package that the galaxy s 3 is. Go for it.
The only thing better than a galaxy s3 is the upcoming galaxy s4 which is yet to be announced

Only problem with waiting for the latest phone is you can potentially be always be waiting, as there will always be a new latest greatest phone just round the corner. I got into that trap with the last phone I got a few years a go. And trying to avoid it this time round. But I do get what your saying.
No don't because with in a month or two it will be outdated and you will find all new phones with 5 inch screen gorilla glass 3 and better processor etc and more advanced stuff so i recommend you to wait either for s4 lol till may or Sony xperia z(beautiful) or htc m7 mosy probably you'll see that in mobile world confrence and Motorola x if i am you i would wait and go for a newer phone as it is i buy one phone a year.

Outdated?!!! With its quad-core processor? Are you bonkers or high? :silly:
Well, we'll definitely see a lot of new stuff at the MWC. Nothing ground-breaking, I suppose. Everyone has already made their CES announcements and they've left nothing to speculate about (except the possible new Motorola phone).
There isn't a doubt to whether the s3 is still good, I want to buy it, but there has been reports from people in this forum it suffers from hardware problems and can die at any moment, and in that case I'll have no warranty from thailand, does anyone have something to add on the topic ?
Get a Nexus 4.
The S3 for sure. It's ground breaking and even the nexus 4 can't compete.
S3 has plenty of innovative features not to mention things like s beam. Also expandable memory.
When you get you s3 you will just be upgraded to a new version that includes the fixes. Then if you want to root just Flash an old ics bootloader and your good to go
I just bought another s3 so I now have 2. Was going to get the nexus 4 but there's no point. Sold my old s3 to a mate

I am thinking of buying the Xperia Z the adverts are calling my name so bad.. But am not sure. I mean i love my galaxy s3 it is the fastest phone i owned till now. Plus from day one i had no problem. But i really want a premium feeling phone.. The nexsus 4 is a good phone but sux to be honest. The nexsus brand is very limited in terms of storage and i don't care about cloud space.. I am not going to use my cloud space when i am outside am i when i only have 1gb data a month....
So if you want speed and reliability then go for the S3 sure you've heard of sds and blah blah blah.. I had the phone since it came out in the uk not SDS no nothing. But if you want something else it is upto you really..
I on the other hand am really tempted for a Xperia Z....
