I am really kind a frustrated because we don't have our own forum for our device... Does somebody work on it? or at least we have a topic?

I'm more frustrated that you actually bought one.
Well in our country a s2 (original one) cost 1400-1500 RON (340 eur) while the s2 plus cost 1200 RON (270 eur) and whit our f*****g romanian salaries you can only afford a Plus one...

Well for 70 euros less it's not actually a bad deal. Only bummer is you'll get 8 GB of internal storage...but the biggest issue will be the lack of development.
I think the biggest issue on this device is the broadcom gpu... its horrible,there arent any hd games optimised for it. I dont care about the lack of the gorilla glass,and a 8 gb micro sd card is 8 euro,the other things are kindly the same as on the original one.

Thats true the best phone upgrade would be to go for galaxy S
Defy is not much of an upgrade
The next best option is nexus S , in India its price fell yesturday to INR 20K(S-LCD not AMOLED)
thats around 300 Euros
By 1 month both galaxy S and nexus S price might fall again

No Oppo section so I though I'd post here. Seen it in another forum and just blatantly copied the text so I don't have to rewrite my self.
Specs are as follows:
Android 4.1 Jellybean
5-inch 1920x1080 Display (441 PPI)
Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 Processor (Easily beats the Exynos 4412 in the Galaxy S III and Tegra 3 in the HTC One X)
2GB of RAM
12 Megapixel Camera
16 or 32GB of storage + MicroSD Card slot
2500 mAh Battery
This will probably interest a lot of current Note users

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...

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!!
Hey guys!
I am planning to buy a HTC One or a S4. (Oh another of those comparisons)
Well, the One is sold at SGD 488 (USD 385) for the 32 GB version, while the S4 (GT-I9505) is sold at SGD 578 (USD 457) for the 16 GB version.
Is the S4 really worth the extra price and lesser storage space?
I only have 8gb SD cards around, I care for heavy gaming like MC4 and GTA VC and good ROMs. I also take pictures and videos quite often, and I DO care for a SUPERSMOOTH UI and GREAT BATTERY LIFE.
Which should I get? Thanks in advance.

I don't own the HTC One, but I just hate its ugly face with the 2 ugly speakers on the top and on the bottom. Even its build quality seems to be what some people call "metal Premium"(that always make me laugh), its performance and its uni body design just doesn't appeal me. However it seems that its screen and its camera are very good.
Battery wise you can always get a second battery and a dock. This way you'll always have a second fully charged battery with the Samsung.
With the HTC, you'll have to rely on the charge of a single battery and/or frequent chargings.

I have had the Nexus 4 too and in smoothness and speed when opening apps and widgets it is much faster than the S4. But then the N4 doesn`t have a 7GB rom + features But i missed some very usefull features offered by Samsung that i like to use and after a while i found the Nexus 4 a bit boaring.So overall i would say that the S4 is not fully worth the price of 650 euro`s that for 369 euro`s the Nexus 4 is a very good phone and offers the latest updates by Google.

I run all my games flawlessly, a little lag happens rarely sometime, but globaly, it runs everything perfectly. I have the i9500 octacore. I don't try the i9505 one. From all the review and test I saw, i9505 suffer from little lag using Air features and has less fps in games. I tried Zombiewood(gameloft) on i9505 and i9500, when there are a lot of zombies who appear, the i9505 become really laggy whereas the i9500 still run flawlessly.
Well I am quite satisfied with mine.. I must say that it is fast enough and even faster with custom roms and kernels...
Camera is pretty good... Not in the dark but then again does not matter much
Quality of video is great and the sound is okay..
I have had an HTC before and it was okay but so sadly built...
The screen here is great... I have no problems with mine

As far as I saw the GT-I9505 (Snapdragon version) has good developer support! It even has official CM (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Jfltexx_Info), I just won't be able to tell you about experience with it because after I flashed the 4.3 Leak I'm happy with it and didn't change , I can tell you that it runs amazingly anyway \m/. I'll just tell you one thing before! I think you should only buy if you're in urge! Because soon is November and that (probably) means new Nexus! Also your device is from the last year, so it's still a nice thing. If you really want to get a new phone now, S4 is good enough !
