So today I stopped by phones 4 u on the high street and had a look at the Nexus. I love the design but my God it is big. There's a pic attached to show you the size comparison. The screen is so much better than the XL but its a bit disappointing that it still has a 5MP camera when the XL has an 8MP Camera.
I've fallen for it and will hopefully have mine in my hands tomorrow Will submit a system dump asap. But still gotta figure out how to root it :?

Which store? I gave up my search in the end accepting that it was only the Oxford St store in London that had stock. Was that not right?

Do you honestly need to take 8mp pictures? You do realize that MP is only the size of the image and has absolutely nothing to do with the actual image quality right?

Exactly....look at a picture taken with a very old Nikkon D40 and compare it with any size MP point and shoot, it's not even close in quality. This is like everyone complaining about the lack of an exynos processor, doesn't seem to have any lag in any video or review I have seen. Specs are fine to use, just need to keep them in perspective and use them appropriately.

Thank God someone else knows what I'm saying. The lack of understanding is just amazing to me. People should really do research before talking. As far as I know about the processor, that the processor its using can typically be way overclocked. Plus now that we have full hardware acceleration, things will run very very well.

TI omap 4460 is a 1.5ghz processor that is underclocked for the GN, hence it can be clocked to that for sure and probably up to 1.8 or so. They designed ICS to be optimized for TI Omap processors. Now, I am less impressed with the gpu that comes with it, it is definitely the lowest powered of the top mobile chips. This is a beast of a phone and I hope we see some news on an HSPA version in the US.

LOL. Yeah, it is big. I just visited that site vonapets url'd and compared all my current phones (N1, SGS, Nexus S, Galaxy S II, Thunderbolt, Droid Charge) to the Galaxy Nexus: http://www.phone-size.com/?s=12,13,65,7,85,3 , and it's not much larger, and actually ~25% thinner, than the largest of my phones (the Charge) which fits easily in my slacks and jeans front pockets. Someone wearing painted on jeans might have issues I guess.
The Charge and SGS II are just a little too large for my hands to use comfortably one-handed. My thumb can't reach the bottom left of the phone without putting it in a precarious balanced position. The big 4.3" screens are great, though. I'm afraid the new Nexus might cross that threshold of being to big to be practical for me, but I'll still probably get one. LOL

This attitude. Now that everyone has read a few articles on sensor technology it seems EVERYONE feels the need to school people on cameras.
Yes, it's true, MP doesn't have that much to do with it. But the Galaxy Nexus camera is piss poor. It produces results almost identical to the NS camera, which i feel was essentially the same as the N1 before it. Look how far mobile cameras have come in the HTC titan and the iPhone 4S. For a flagship phone in this price range, this is simply unacceptable. For Samsung, even moreso as the shooter in the GS2 is much better. No wonder people make the 5MP 8MP comparison.
People need to stop being apologetic towards companies, and start calling them out on their mistakes. The processor in the Galaxy Nexus is acceptable, but the GPU is really not up to par with today's superphones. The plastic case construction is an improvement over the fisher-price NS, but still cheap garbage compared to the designs of HTC and Apple, yet they charge the same price.
Enough. Stop trying to school people and school the companies instead. It's the only way we'll get better products.

sgs 1 even beats iphone 4 hands down and the diffrences between ip5 and ip4 is most likely just another camera

read up on some rumors - iP5 will be thinner, slightly bigger edge-to-edge screen, dual core CPU, and I am sure a bunch of other cutting edge features. Apple is a respected power, can't deny that.

Nice review, thanks for the link!
Still, nothing more than a dedicated blogger could do - Where are the measurements?
Wifi: maximum range and throughput over range
Cell radio: quality of GSM / UMTS reception in known good and known bad spots
GPS: TtFF cold and hot, accuracy over time, both stationary and moving; comparison to a reference standalone GPS, ...
Audio: freq response, noise floor, harmonic and non-harmonic distortion, stereo crosstalk etc.
Screen: brightness (min and max), contrast, color accuracy
Camera: see any decent digicam review (but they did have full-res shots, yay!)
I'm not saying build a testing lab, but once upon a time the difference between an amateur review and a professional one used to be the testing equipment and methodology employed.

Thinner, I don't know, it's gotten a bit ridiculous by now. The phones are getting hard to hold as it is. Same for edge-to-edge - where am I supposed to hold the thing? Even with current gen phones I manage to obscure the screen or even trigger something with my hand.

lol. i chuckled when you said iphone killer. this thing obliterates the ip4. now ip5 is going to be a tough battle, but i think the "smarter" users will agree the sgs II will be better. From where i stand though, the only thing iphone keeps killing android is with extremely user friendly ui, especially how gorgeous apps look on the platform. Has anyone seen the dj app for ipad. i mean you cant get better than that. And secondly, the apps availability, android has maybe 50 good games, while iphone has over 500..same with regular apps.
I hope android starts focusing less on (sorry to say)useless features like live wallpapers and focuses on making the dev kit more polished like apple. Hardware wise, theres no doubt the sgs2 is a monster.

Agree + the GPU that sucks. Internal memory is easily fixable though.
Unfortunately, apple can't afford to simply "catch up" with their android competitors. They need to come up with something new to make people feel "special" just because they have an iphone. After all, Apple has always been about making you feel like you were part of a VIP club when buying their products.

-GPS seems to be better than SGS1 but we still managed to get lost in out underground New York City garage
My wife just got a GS2 and after setting it up and playing around with it for a few days I'm convinced the two are fairly similar in use.
Sure the GS2 is a bit faster when multitasking but day to day use is to me almost the same.
That said I'm happy to hold off for newer design when it comes as jvq on GS1 with ext4 does it all only on a slightly smaller screen.
Battery life is comparable.
Browser is almost identical in speed.
Gmail a slight bit slower.
Phone call quality is on par.
Music player... Sounds great with both running voodoo app.
Just wish it had a flash for camera but still takes amazing pics for 5mp.

Thank God the SGS2 wasn't released the 14th as I believed, because I would have bought one. I think my SGS1 does the job very well and it would be stupid to buy it. All that "must get better phone" non sense... I'll leave that for the iPhone users
I will install CM7 soon and will forget the thought of buying this phone.
SGS 1 is better then SGS2 about the battery cover and other important parts.
I would like the RGB screen in SGS2 (compared to pentile on SGS) but other than that I'm not really clamouring for any of the other features. Maybe the RAM would be nice, but the dual-core and 8MP/1080p camera don't seem that big of a deal.
The clincher for me to upgrade would be a higher resolution, 960x540 would be nice at 4.5", and a more powerful GPU to go with it. I feel like future games will run out of GPU before they max out the CPU, maybe I am wrong.
One thing that many reviews don't really consider is what about SD speed? I find myself wishing the SD card were faster when doing many tasks like transferring files via USB, installing/updating applications, etc... I may have seen something about improved SD speed in the SGS2 but I can't recall exactly.
In the end I would be very happy to win one for free in the Bell contest, but for my own money I will hold off until at least the next flagship release. I shouldn't really be dropping $500+ on new phones every year and I have no regrets about the SGS, it seems like it will have good longevity especially in the GPU department.

Agree with the screen and the ram, the SGS2 is a multitasking god.
It rarely kills apps which most of the time makes it seem like its faster because it never has to relaunch anything

Hey dude
The one thing I miss from sgs is an led flash.
Optimus 2x has that.
But optimus has a lcd screen, where sgs is oled.
Because oled has no back light, if you use a dark theme, you can get so much more battery use with the display on with oled phones than with lcd phones.
I'd never buy an lcd phone again, but I do miss having a camera flash on the sgs.
Depends what's more important to you.

Gs1 definitely sounds better than GS2. Especially with voodoo sound.
And yeah a flash would be good but when I compare night shots with both cameras, the flash makes people look like startled animals in headlights. GS1 night pics are remarkably clear and natural.

My sentiments exactly.
Performance wise the cpu difference in them is minimal at best and somewhat just overkill on the 989d
The camera on the nexus is what originally drove me to the 989 over the nexus, had the phone for about 3-4months now and takin maybe 20pictures, that being saidits nice to have the quality when you need it, expecially those shots with photafin high quality xD
Not having an SD card does suck. I see no real difference in the camera. Battery is about the same. Better with an extended one. Performance wise I see no difference. Rom options are better. I have never seen a rom with so many options as team kangs aokp. Screen is better but not by much. Once you get used to ics it kicks ass. Didn't think it was that special until I really got into it. The sgs2 will get ics at some point so really it all boils down to rom options in my opinion. The nexus will have better dev support. Other than that there is no big difference. Well, the SD card.

Thanks for the response. I am thinking about getting it. I am worried because I use wifi calling at work.
Personally I consider myself a little too invested in the T989 now.
I would have gotten it if I didn't already buy all these accessories for the t989.
I also doubt I could sell this phone for 500 dollars to make up for the price I already paid for it... and jump boat to the Galaxy Nexus.
I've just found this, seems like its over 2 months old but i've never come across it before so thought i'd share, closest competition to the note screen size, everything else doesn't matter

Btw...the battery matters alot
Not even close, sorry. Look at the specs again. Just the screen size is 'comparable'.

There is rumour that HTC will bring Note killer called One XXXL or XXLL, something like that.
Sorry, the XXL

Wasn't this whole "XXL" rumor just the child of wishful thinking, the spawn of a Photoshop-ed concept that some unnamed "artist" drew up in his free time? Why are people putting any stock in it?

That's what I thought; just an artist's wishful thinking.
When you consider the Note's specs coupled with the S Pen functionality, the Note is truly a unique device. Nothing comes close.
I have never done this before on XDA, but here goes...
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!1!!!!!1!!!!!11!
Dude read the specs "It doesn't't stop there"
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!1!!!!!!11?!!!! FUUUUUUU...
I Love Note & XDA

My bad. Competition doesn't hurt so I hope HTC might make one. LG Optimus Vu is the only one I can think of that exists today, but it is only 4:3 ratio

The emmc super brick bug has me spooked so today I went to the ATT Store. I was convinced I was going to buy the HTC one X.
I took one look at it sitting there next to the Note and decided the screen was too small. Now I'm happy waiting out Samsung on a fix and chugging along on cm9.
grass is always greener...
The S-Pen & palm recognizing, what else has this Note's key features?

frnds which one is the best ?
galaxy note 2 vs. htc one x
and why? better
...why
the gn2 is way batter than the HOX... no argumentation needed
depends what you want,
ive just moved from a one x to the note 2 and for me it was a wise choice.
the battery on the one x was awful at best, it would never last the whole shift at work unless i had a mobile charger.
the ui on the one x is much more pretty than the note 2 (i still really dont like that touchwiz [email protected]) but touch wiz has more features and can be customised more.
the screens are imho nicer on the one x, (ducks) expecially when put side by side, but on thier own they both look really nice so dont make that a deal breaker.
build quality is very nice on the one x, the note 2 is plastic but fills solid so no worryies there.
if your a very light user that very rarely plays with the phone get the one x (dont even think about gaming or videos), it will last all day and some if you dont use it, but if you want to use the smartphone as intended get the note 2, i run audiobooks all day with mine and still walk in though my front door with over 60% battery life, the one x would be on its second or third charge at that point.
memory is the other deal breaker for me know along with removable batterys, the note 2 has both of these removable the one x is fixed (iphone like). After 6 months of useage nearly of the one x i would never ever EVER pick a phone that had non removable batterys and memory again.
the other deal breaker is you cannot root the one x without (maybe) voiding your warrenty - htc cannot make its mind up to void or not so they put a may* in the terms and conditions, result being if you have a minor fault with your phone thats been rooted they will change the mainboard every time even if its nothing to do with it and charge you for the priviledge.
these are the issues i came accross look in the htc one x area and you will see excatly what i mean.
you just need to decide if the phone is too large - i fine it a bit cumbersome but fine to use as a every day phone / media player.

And many others...
And now your thread
Why are people constantly opening such useless threads.
What is their point??
Seriously...this will go no where. Everyone has his personal opinions and needs. You have websites designed to judge that.
Just go to www.gsmarena.com or some other website for that..
Evwry mobile has its pros and cons and theres no point in just having a dog fight between them.

I could understand one x+ but one x doesnt even come close. At least the one x+ has a larger battery and a higher clocked cpu. It should be note 2 vs optimus G or nexus 4.

Not really, none phone comes close to Note2 now since it's unique. Huge display still keeping pocketbility, spen and huge amount of stock customisibility. I just moved from One X to this phone and this gave me long-time-WOW! feeling and One X wasn't anything new.

How do you know? The nexus 4 hasn't even been announced yet. But yes right now note 2 is the top dog.

Well, seeing as the Optimus G was released, i'd say in terms of performance, that is top dog (the S4 beating out Exynos... although no S pen or cool features like S apps, etc). But of course, both phones are extremely fast (and some people dislike LG phones due to lackluster support)

Who really cares if that is faster? Maybe webpage loads halfsecond faster? I do only care for now software, if you have top notch hardware but low notch software you will be largely dissapointed.

Got one in my possession. Let pictures do the talking. :good: Won't give my views as they are both totally different devices but both are excellent top notch phones.
I will say this though SLCD2 > AMOLED! For daily viewing nothing tops SLCD2 at the moment however AMOLED has better blacks for videos and gaming, apart from the 5" devices coming soon SLCD3 et al.

Thanks for the pics, I have to say, the HOX has seriously large bezels (I used to bash on Samsung phones for that, but this latest generation fixed that problem).
