Galaxy s2 vs Galaxy Nexus vs Galaxy s3 - Galaxy S II General

I've had my I9100 for a while and currently its running Resurrection Remix Rom 2.5.3. I'm kind of getting tired of this phone but don't know which one should I get, I can trade my phone for a nexus or I can spend about 200-300 more on a s3. Any kind of input would be greatly appreciated. Or should I wait for the new nexus phones out due in October?

S3 way to expensive for what it can do, Nexus way to buggy low camera but best software ROM created by Google and S2 best choice in my opinion ...
Have a nice day.

Keep the galaxy s2 and wait for S4 quad CPUs + Adreno 320
Galaxy nexus will not be an upgrade for you
Because power vr 540 is much weaker than mail 400
Also TI OMAP 4460 is not better than exynos
The camera is 5 MP compared to 8 MP in the S2
The screen is pentile which is worse than your current screen (trust me it is the worst ever in my opinion)
Developers support is much better for the S2 compared to the Nexus
Good luck!

Stay with S2 and wait for Note II or the new Nexus, any other smartphone wont be much better from S2.

Yeah I checked out the nexus in person and I'm just looking for a better looking larger display with lte, I guess I'll hold out for the new nexus

Forget to buy those phones as it's late already. Only buy a phone max. 1 month after the phone is released.
I recommend the next nexus because google is the real boss in terms of android, not samsung.

Do you guys have any ball park guesses for the specs of the new nexus?

>>Galaxy S III for Philippines

Hi guys,
I've been here at xda-dev for a long time now and I just want to start a thread for all Pinoy Samsung Galaxy S III owners (future owners, as of now ).
Let's make this thread fun and interesting.
Hoping to be a future owner too. it all depends on how it looks+ finals specs and if it's compelling enough to upgrade from an S2
from S1 to S2 of course will get S3 hehe
im excited, though i wish i had the money to get one

Live streaming will start @7PM BST.
Galaxy S3 is awesome but for a smartphone I'm satisfied with my S2. If I have a quadcore device it would be an ultrabook. Just my opinion.
Using htc one x now, ill see this samsung S3 if looks better than this onex,and ill orders s3 rightaway online

Link down or have to wait.
as HOX user, S3's build/Materials and aesthetic is a disappointment... By the way, its now official..
One x won this round, s3 failed to impress me...
the looks are not that impressive...

What will your next phone be after the SGS?

As this device is quite old now, what do you think you'll replace it with in the future?
I'm still happy with my SGS atm, so for me it will either be a SGS 4 or a Nexus 5 (depending if Samsung decide to release the sources for future Exynos processors or not).
What do you think your next phone might be?
a SGS III with LTE french frequencies
Note II
The new Nexus or Note II.

When community will stop supporting Galaxy S I by providing great, fast and smooth ROMs. So I have time to think about it.
Most likely a Nexus. I reckon I might get the LG nexus.

Maybe the next Nexus. Or a Galaxy IV.

Sgs 4, nexus 2 or iphone 5
I really want to have Note2 and i hope to buy it .
I dont know it, cause in the next year some great new smartphones will come and beat easily iphone5, sgs3,...
They develop so fast their cpu's and gpu's, that i wont buy a new phone atm.

Same. A15 processors, Mali-6xx series gpu and 1080p displays will be out next year.
I'd like 2GB RAM, external SD and then I see all those new ARM chips coming...
-Note2 is too big for me (great device though)
-perhaps SGS3 LTE with 2GB RAM (depending on the price, I love AMOLED but pentile again... not sure)
-LG Nexus... no ext-SD and no confidence, I'm sure their integration will have problems (just seeing audio quality in GSM arena test in comparison of other S4 phones or benchmarks that seems always inferior to other quad S4 phones)
-HTC J Butterfly if the screen is good and hardware is working without issue (a bit tall though)
So I'm still waiting.
Nexus 4 if it comes with 32 gb storage
Depends, if my parents are gonna lend me money for a car. If so it is going to be the Note 3 or 4

I mean, what is the point if not to simply wait 6 months and then do it. Price will be lower etc.. at least that... At the end, you have a great piece of smartphone which is doing fine, like now
ps: looking forward to see the price tag on S4 and then the next Note. Christmas discounts beats them all at the end... and then, it's each to his own Comming from SGS II I skipped S III as it was flawed, no leap, no nothing IMO. Saw S IV might give the boost, but still I doubt seen CM Dev's are turning their back at it... Dunno, I must evaluate, but no S iV Mini is a true upgrade option for me...
Cheers,
Fevv.

Its officially confirmed by Samsung.

yes me too. BUT...
I hate Nexus 4's display. so much blue. the dark black is bluish (blue-ish). And the display is not calibrated and again what I hate about Nexus phones is the camera is bad. Although the phone is very fast and I love the pure stock Google's Android experience!
and by the way, how much the Nexus 4 priced in your country? mine is $500, I'm in Indonesia.. SO EXPENSIVE!!

which will be your next handset after i9300?

1. S4/s5
2. Nexus4/4
3. note 3
4. Other android phone
5. Other phone?
Id intended to wait 2 years until I upgraded but 1gb of ram is working out to be ridiculously low and basically, while ideally id love to change to wp8 I'm addicted to android.... I'm waiting to see what the final specs of the note 3 and nexus 5 will be, and choose between the two. I'm thinking note 3 is the strongest contender as it will most likely be a powerhouse but pure android is tempting too

I`am thinking of Note3 as everybody, but still waiting for Motorola X phone.
And hoping for phone with IP67 (water and dust proof), big battery and possibilities above S3 AND most important - with dock station with i can use my phone as home computer.
Hopefully soon an Oppo Find 5 or it's follow-up by the end of this year.
It's screen, sound and UI create the ultimate user-experience I honestly find unmatched by any other phone.
The only reason it's probably unknown to you is it's lack of marketing in comparison to the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4.
It's something you guys should really check out! :good:

Bought a Galaxy Note 8 3g, now this is a big phone!

worth buying or waiting?

I'm coming from a galaxy s3 and I'm just fed up with the phone now. I keep getting drawn back to nexus since the Samsung Google nexus S was my first phone. I've heard rumors that the nexus would be coming in white reason I'm tempted on waiting is the white version is meant to add lte and other features for the same price am i correct or shal I just buy it now

Wait. You're gonna get 4.2.2 soon and going by the leak that might add some things you may want. Or see what the S4/HTC One have to offer (I'm getting a One soon, it's amazing IMO).
The Nexus 4 is an awesome phone, though
the leaks out and it doesn't add much from the s4 the camera in particular and the leak is a branded leak. I'm fed up with the s3 heating up and having lags. you'd think a quad core phone would not have this issue I'd use this phone if it had better Rom support but that won't happen anytime soon, and rims kill stuff like plug in play and hdmi output etc
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Have you tried CM 10.1 at all? It's my ROM of choice on the Nexus 4 (except I've gone back to stock for now as I might be upgrading soon)
any Rom on the galaxy s3 has bugs Samsung won't release the documentation for the exynos processor so all roms all suffer from same bugs camera being the main one

The N4 has a worse camera and heats up less easily. However, unlike the S3 it doesn't lag at all (I can't believe how poorly optimised TouchWiz is when I use my Dad's GS3).
yeah my phone heats up bad and lags out of no we're what I hate is that this is a quad core phone I'd take my nexus s over it

THIS.
OP, please hold your horses. Wait till the N5 comes out (November). You will be GREATLY dissapointed with N4's camera. For me, camera is one of the most important parts in a phone. However, I overlooked it this time and went with N4 as I wanted a phone which is Lag free. However, I regret my decision/priority whenever I click photos with N4. I would suggest you to please wait.
my phone value will drop I just hope the price isn't too bad I'm fed up with galaxy now
