Galaxy S2 now stands as an old phone because it has been in Market for over an year. Xperia T is a recently launched new phone, so purchasing a recently launched phone is always good, because of hardware improvements, updated software etc.
About price, its expected to be Rs 25,000 (~ $463) as mentioned in some websites, not sure though.

Saving up money and buy a LG Nesux 4 and u r good to go another 2 years without worrying about changing phone. anyway i think xperia T is a good enough choice for now

How much budget do you have? If you are going for high end phone, the new nexus is a good choice...or else you can go for Samsung Devices like Galaxy note 2 or S3...These phones are the best in the market that you can get and their performance quite satisfying though

For development i use Nexus One phone - old but really good,
For daily activity i use Galaxy Note,
(i don't like to debug something on Samsung phones - there are enormous number of traces from samsung apps in traceview)
But now due to logs in play market, i also need some phone for development on 4.1 android system,
i think it will be new Nexus model.

it depends whether u like android or windows phone. if i remember right there is a way to install android on a windows phone..
Few tips:
1. Compare Cost first
2. Compare features next
3. See what features you will use the most
Finally my advise: Adobe Flash is not supported on Galaxy Ace so if you are fond of Adobe stuff and Flash games etc. then this phone is certainly not for you.
I am using Galaxy Ace from last 4 months and installed several kinds of ROMs in last 2-3 months. Phone is really good except Adobe Flash issue.
You can see a comparison of the two here in GSMArena:

Just wait for the holiday season more cool phones with better processor and better performance are coming in the market near you,

lol'ed really hard when i saw ace's standby time that stated there
Code:
26,7 days
its magical if my ace can even last for two days
Specwise i'd go for the windows phone but ace looks better and the battery seem to be better as well. The only problem I'm having with ace now is the low memory capacity.

Galaxy Ace. Is it worth?

Hi all.
Its the first time I post in the Ace section.
I have some questions about Galaxy Ace. I would like to get the responses from the Ace users on XDA.
I currently own a Samsung Galaxy Mini, and it is a nice phone to have. Gets the job done for most of the daily tasks, like checking Twitter, Facebook, browsing the web, calendars, or alarms. So it is a nice phone for everyday use.
However, I am starting to feel the need for a better phone. Which is not too expensive, but is faster, smoother, and better looking. I especially like it's look. It's truly amazing one of the best looking phones ever produced by Samsung in my opinion. Probably because as a former iPhone user, it looks very similar to it in my opinion.
I am saving money from my job to buy a better phone and I thought about Galaxy Ace. But before buying it I would like to know more about it. I've watched plenty of reviews in Youtube and it seems nice but I would like to ask some specific questions.
For ex. the price of Galaxy Mini in my country is 100 Euro, while for Galaxy ACE it is 180-200 Euro.
Is the difference in money really also seen on the performance of the phone?
I know ACE has a 800MhZ processor, when rooting and flashing custom ROM's, up to how much can it be over-clocked and still be stable?
Does the phone run well with a custom Ice Cream Sandwich ROM on it and be stable for everyday use?
Does the phone run Google Chrome if we have an ICS ROM?
Does the phone tend to reboot, force close, or lag while using it at times?
And finally are you overall happy for buying the Samsung Galaxy ACE?
Thanks you for reading this.
Well the Oficail Dev support....SUCKS! But we have more than 200+ great roms!So great for devs/flashers
NOT FOR:
-GAMES
-HD VIDEO
-HIGH RAM USAGE
BASICALLY.... IF U ARE NOT A DEV/FLASHER GO GET A MDEFY OR ANY SONY PHONE (THANKS an0nym0us_ for reminding me )
Now your questions:
Overclock to : 864 (Mine but depends on each device)
ICS/CM9: Very stable now definitely daily use
Chrome: No, except if I am missing something ... but there are good look alikes (Also it runs FireFox which is better in my opinion)
Reboot:On stock yes...but on great custom roms like Apocalypse ... no
Happy: Well I am a 12 year old sortof dev and it was my best buy so far
GOOD LUCK!
I'm happy when I buy ace a year ago, but if i'm buying it now i'll be an idiot.
There are many better phone u can get with ace price range.
For example I got xperia live walkman with lesser bucks for current ace's price.
You're not really upgrading if u come to ace from mini, both got weak armv6 proc with less and less support.
Go for any armv7 device eg xperia mini, minipro, or live walkman.
Those phone got msm8255 cpu that can easily be oc'ed to 2ghz, got official ics, and i'm pretty sure its price are lesser than current ace price.
Furthermore if u get an ace now it'll be the "i" variant with close to none support from xda
ace = mini + 5mp camera so its not a worthy upgrade in any way.. ace 2 is better upgrade if you can consider but still no official ICS announced for it..and above post says remaining stuffs
Nice idea
You can overclock it at 1036 mhz max but 921 is the best. Higher and it will often reboot. About CM9....it's a good rom but when you have 4-5 apps running it laaaaaaaaaaags and freezes. I advise you to have a "official" CM7 and to mod it as you want.

Nah..ACE 2 aint worth it for me not such great devs
Very interesting responses.
I thank you all.
I am so glad I did not buy it and asked for your opinions.
Will try to save more money and probably buy a Galaxy S2 or a Nexus.
I am not a big fan of Sony, even though it seems they produce some powerful phones. I'd like to stick to Samsung.
Thanks for the responses anyway.
I was expecting the Ace to be over-clocked up to 1GhZ as even my Mini can be overclocked to 820 or so MhZ.
I will stick to Galaxy Mini for a some more months I guess.
Thank you all.

it hasn't even released for masses and you can't expect full-fledged "dev" support for mid-range phones
Here is another reason to choose the nexus if updates are important to you: http://m.lifehacker.com/5924547/frustrated-by-android-fragmentation-just-buy-the-nexus-already
ace is too overpriced so i wouldnt suggest u doing it
but i would suggest u sony ericsson live with walkman (cheaper and better) or sony xperia u (same price as galaxy ace but 2x better)

With that I agree fully!
Please dont slam our ace so much. Everyone should remember when our ace was released. Its an 1,5 or more year old phone. Sure you cant compare it with new phones. you also say its overpriced, im agree with you because of the hardware but you also know that our ace was never made for gaming or hardmultitasking or something like that. Many people bought it because of his price and iphone-look and the performance is also very good for the daily use.
If i compare my phone with the sony arc s of my uncle or the evo 3d of my sister, it has only one really big disadvantages for ME :
the old armv6 cant provide new games like temple run
so if you dont want to play games then its a very good phone for its price of 150
euro (in Germany).

That's why I'm getting a Nexus phone this year. Just waiting for the next Nexus phone.
Ace is a great phone. But if your thinking of buying it now, it will not be a good choice. There at much Better devices out there...

Nothing can be said as far as 2014 is concerned. ATRIX HD can also be considered as an option. It's a decent phone.

I would recommend getting a Nexus 4 if it is available for 350 in your country. If not, the Galaxy Nexus is allot more future proof than our S2. Jellybean will most likely be the last update for our S2, whereas the Galaxy Nexus will for sure get Key lime pie (or whatever version is next). The Galaxy Nexus is quite on par with the S2, but instead you get the fast updates, and the development team is going to go strong for at least two more years. Hope I helped!

look at the spec and price (we can't know as it varies from country to country). I'm sure you can decide on yourself.
yeah s2 looks better but what about resolution and battery of s2
one thing for sure s2 have plenty of custom rom
Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk 2
I would take S2. AMOLED is superb IMO even with lower res (but it's lower screen size). Exynos it's second to nothing if it's responsiveness and smoothness of interface. Lots of custom roms and bigger community is another upside. L9 is good phone and 4,7 inch screen do its work when browsing web and gaming, also it's smooth as butter and battery is quite good. S2 still have samsung support and it will receive 4.2 update with new touchwiz and we all know how LG is with updates. So, it probably comes to decide how big your phone can be and how much can you pay. You know full well when you have your L9 in your pocket. S2 maybe not so smaller in numbers, but if you take both in hands, difference in size and feel is more than noticeable. Tough choice. Look at the price. I don't think S2 is worth more than 70-80$ more than L9. If you can take it in the same price, for me decision could be only one -S2
Hi after owning both I would say that the S2 wins my vote. Keep in mind that I have the p769 L9. The L9 is only superior in the battery & GPS department IMO, ROMs and amoled screen is just hard to beat.

[Q] HELP!! What To Buy

Hi XDA,
I Wanted To Buy a New Phone Which Is Good And And Has enough RAM For good Multitasking. I Can Sacrifice Some Money . I Had Samsung Galaxy Y Duos ( GT-S6102) It Just Sucks I Did Everything For Getting Good Speed. I Would Personally Like HTC But If You Have Some Suggestion Just Throw Them On Me. And Please Do tell Me If It Is Highly Customizable Or Not.
And Yes My Budget Is 20K To 25K 25000. :fingers-crossed:
Should I Wait Till January Or Not?
If you want to buy a phone I would prefer using Vanilla ANdroid..I was using a HTC and it sucked..You can get Nexus 4 or wait for Nexus 5..Google offers Good quality Smartphones for low price..I bought a nexus 4 myself and I am happy with it..
That's my opinion..
Thanks For the Reply But

Well OP, depending on what you wanna spend for quality phones, i would either recommend you a Samsung Galaxy S3 or S4 or a simple Nexus 4 phone. The Nexus 4 has its price slashed due to a upcoming new release of the Nexus 5. The Nexus 4 can even have the capability of upgrading to a newer android version if available which is a "golden" capability of Google Nexus devices. So the phone can always improve itself through updates. The phone is also great for multitasking. And the back of the phone and the phone structure is gorgeous, a must get, enjoy the Nexus 4.
I suggest to buy Samsung Galaxy S4, although I have not used it, but I have heard many people praise this phone. :laugh:
