SGS software is 2.2.1 natively, 2.3 gingerbread soon.
Hardware is far superior than htc hd2 except screen size. Cpu, gpu are all better than hd2.
Hd2 may be very cheap now as the winmo platform goes away forever, sgs is current device so it's supposed to be more expensive.

HD2 plus: Better GPS, Flash led, bigger display.
SGS plus: Better (Gorillaglass/AMOLED) display, GPU faster and used better, lighter, better audio chip.

I am one of hd2man. I like this very much but there are some problem! 720p recording and play(like bluelay) not supported and gpu and sound qulity is lower. finally it has multi-touch bug! And because of nexus s, Android will be optimised for hurming(?) bird. But cotulla who is developer will release wp7 for hd2. I can use various OS in only one platform is reason for using this!

Help!!! keep Nexus one or Samsung galaxy S

Ok I need help from the XDA Family and Hardcore N1 users. I have a Dilemma and I need to make a decision fast. I have a nexus one and Have had since Feb 10 and I Love the phone. I just started a professional job and Kind of need a Blackberry. I have an upgrade available thru Tmobile and I was thinking of Selling my nexus one, I have a buyer. The deal is I get $300 cash and their BB 9700 (its 2months old and in great shape). I then can use my upgrade and get the Samsung Galaxy. So I will then Have a Blackberry 9700 and Samsung Vibrant AND $100 CASH left over, but no Nexus one anymore . What are your thoughts? im in love with the N1 and wondering will I miss much going to the Samsung Vibrant!!!
If you don't plan on messing with android code or writing apps, get galaxy s.
They are both awesome, but for end user, galaxy s is a bit better choice,IMO.

Haha! N1 wins huh! I feel attached to the N1. This is a hard choice. but 2 phones for 1
So you will use 2 phones? I think the nexus looks much more professional looking than the Samsung galaxy, and nexus has better build quality and materials since the Samsung is plastic. But it has better features. But I dunno, the nexus is so hackable, its still the ultimate geek phone.
Get the galaxy s.. so much better than nexus one in terms of specs

Yes, I plan to use the BB9700 monday thru thursday at work and Friday thru sunday use the Samsung S or nexus 1
I doubt the Galaxy S will ever be as customizable and mod-friendly as the N1. Just keep that in mind, since Samsung doesn't make their devices' kernel open-source.

I dont see too much different to be honest.. What specifically are you talking about except:
- 1280x720 (720p HD) video recording
- Super AMOLED vs AMOLED
- built in 16gb
Personally I can live without all of those to guarantee i get updates first. Also i dont trust samsung at all to continue to support this phone (see my other post)
EDIT Galaxy S is 9.9mm vs 11.5 for N1, and also has FM radio.
Still not a huge difference.

Thanks! Ive read so much and alot of different conflicting info
I really love the track ball over the optical pad. Your finger can feel each rotation of the trackball and it is just much more user friendly for me. Also, the Galaxy borrowed a lot from the iPhone OS, which I dont like the look of. The Nexus One is just so awesome looking.
Unless a phone comes out with something better than the snapdragon I will stick to the Nexus. (Hopefully not long til a 1.5 or 2.0 ghz phone)
N1 just got FroYo so it's like a new phone already, plus I underclock to 800mhz most of the day and get well over 24 hours battery life. being able to open an app a few milliseconds faster would have no affect on my day.

Samsung's site has no mention of the front camera though
Galaxy has front facing camera, better rear camera (2.8f, but no flash), fm tuner (transmitter ? i dont know), bigger and much better SAMOLED display, much better GPU, better battery life.
pretty good phone. flash is important for me for flash light purpose only, Nexus car dock is cool too, such a HUGE 3rd party support for Nexus is a BIG plus, Samsungs lacks 2.2, but will get it later and that will probably be its last Android OS update.....
The fact that Nexus gets updated first and many apps and tweaks here get released for Nexus ONLY, makes Nexus THE best Android phone to date, although Galaxy is very attractive hardware-wise.......will see when its released....

Galaxy has twice as fast GPU
Better media player xvid/divx
id still go for the nexus. but ive played around with the galaxy s... boy is it fast and thats still on 2.1... its gonna get a lot faster once it gets 2.2
the screen trumps that of the nexus in brightness and in size. super amoled ftw!
I've played with one of the Samsung Galaxy variants and the difference between Super AMOLED and "plain" AMOLED (as found on the N1) is negligible... inside. Outside, in bright and direct sunlight, Super AMOLED is easier to read than AMOLED; although the LCD on a Palm Pre wins that contest hands down. I've read there is no front facing camera on the T-Mobile and AT&T variants and there is no LED camera flash. Had the phone included a FFC and LED flash it would have been a no brainer. Since they took those items out of the equation, the choice becomes far more difficult. The build quality has been discussed, as has the size of each phone. A few sticking points for me are as follows:
N1 has a multi-color trackball. It may not seem like a big deal, but the increased precision of using the trackball to select among many small links on a webpage is something I prefer to have. Additionally, the multi-color trackball allows me to know, at a glance, if I have an unread SMS, MMS, email or a missed call.
LED camera flash - seriously Samsung, this is 2010. Although I rarely take night shots with my N1, I frequently use the LED flash as a torch to light the way.
System updates - Odds are any Samsung phone will be months behind the N1 on software updates. If you like the latest and greatest software enhancements, Google's Nexus One is a solid bet.
That being said, the Hummingbird really flies; the menus are silky smooth and 3d gaming will be better. The multi-touch display of the Samsung is far superior to that of the janky Synaptics Clearpad 2000 found in the N1.
Although this decision will be difficult to make, it's nice to have this decision at all! Do remember there is always something better on the horizon. Since the Galaxy is, at best, a minor upgrade to the N1, you could always wait to see if this dual core (or dual processor) HTC Vision materializes. Wouldn't you rather hold on to your full discount upgrade until something a bit more revolutionary comes out?

[Q] Should i buy Galaxy s or Desire HD? or wait for the Nexus S?

Hello all.
I want to buy a mobile phone but i don't know what should i buy.
I don't care if my phone is big.(there isn't too big for screen)
but.
in my country (israel), thr prices are the issue.
those are the prices for the phones: (from a mobile store):
HTC Desire HD: 1086$
Samsung Galaxy s(i9000): 768$
Htc Desire:582$
i really want the best phone for the best price.
is there really a reason to add 300$ for the Desire HD?
or should i go for the Galaxy S?
BTW: A8 or Snapdragon?
Thanks All!
The one reason I wouldn't buy the Desire HD is the lack of internal storage space. I mean, 1.5GB vs 16GB? Yes, you can add on a microSD card and move your apps to storage, but the fact that many apps themselves don't let you do it is going to make things a tad more complicated than it has to be. Plus, you'll have to dish out some extra money for a microSD card, unless HTC provides you with one.
That said, the reason I would get the Desire HD is mainly because of the HTC Sense software, oh and the 8MP camera. While the 5MP camera on the Galaxy S is great, the lack of an LED flash leaves a lot to be desired. And TouchWiz isn't really my favourite UI, which is why I've flashed my SGS with a custom ROM and installed LauncherPro.
In terms of performance, I'd say they're about on par with each other. Bigger RAM gives the DHD a bit of an edge over the SGS, but the Hummingbird processor is just significantly better at rendering graphics.
I'm happy with my SGS, and personally, 4.0-inch is the limit for me. Anything above that should really go in the tablet category. Plus, after using the S-AMOLED screen on the SGS, regular LCD screens feel a bit.. insufficient, if you know what I mean.
This is just my opinion. Don't take my word for it. I still think the Desire HD is an awesome phone, just not for me. Since there's also the price factor to think about, and in your case there is a USD300 price difference. I'd seriously think about what I'd pay an extra USD300 for.
I'll wait for a nexus S.
If you are able to get Google Nexus S,
there is absolutely no reason to bother with Samsung Galaxy S.
If I could get Nexus S, I wouldn't even bother with any other phone including Desire HD.
except the nexus s is only coming out with tmobile 3g frequencies..
wait for galaxy s 2 or x12 (lol)
well...
I don't really see alot of changes in the Nexus...
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3620&idPhone2=3115
yeah it's has Led and a few other tiny things..
but it's seems that the hardware is the same...
and i don't think that Desire HD worth adding 300$...
I think i will go with the Galaxy S,
Maybe i will exchange it after the Nexus come out
..
BTW! The Galaxt S2 looks Great!!!
Think you should go with the Galaxy S if you get a sweet deal. Otherwise, might as well get the Nexus S since it's slightly updated with Gingerbread.
In reality, it boils downs to, which one do you like better. The straight one or the concave one. Haha.
Not worth getting a galaxy s, developing is slow kinda, but since nexus s is a Google phone with stock aosp gingerbread, u shud get more devs working on it. And get cm first, miui , and all the other mods available.

That what i thought about..
The Galaxy S and the Nexus S are the same phone.
so i guess that every mod that will be on Nexus will be on the Galaxy..
that why i'm taking the Galaxy...
(and i'm an Apple dev... :S)
I would wait
I would wait and get Nexus S instead of Galaxy S.
The reasons:
1. Price (~530$ in US if I'm not mistaken). If you have a friend visiting US (preferably one of the tax-free states), ship it directly to the hotel and ask him to bring it.
2. You get "stock" android with fastest adoption of new releases. Samsung's froyo adoption is about half a year late after Nexus and is far below in terms of tuning quality.
3. Even if Nexus S is just a remake of Galaxy, second generation should theoretically have some problems of the first generation resolved... (lag, GPS just to name a few).
BTW all..
I can't find any comparing between the i9000 vs the HD7
HD7 cost the same as the i9000 here.
so maybe i should get the HD7?
AFAIK, HD7 is windows, not android... Does it matter to you?
I'm due to upgrade my Hero in January and currently torn between Desire HD, Galaxy S and Nexus S.
Here's my random thoughts so far, good and bad:
Nexus S
-Nice form factor, but possibly plasticy build like SGS.
-I'm not bothered about the vanilla Android experience as I would like to root flash a custom ROM from day one / as soon as available.
-I have a DSLR so the addition on LED flash over the SGS is no deal breaker.
-I have no intention of video calling so front facing camera is of no concern.
-NFC is not something I will ever use.
-Was expecting dual core, or at least a jump up from 1GHz.
-Unsure if / when T-Mobile UK will stock them.
-Most future proof of the three phones.
-Great screen.
Desire HD
-This was the main contendor to begin with but battery life seems to be a big issue for some and I don't really want a phone I have to either not use fully, disable features or charge more than once a day.
-It has Sense UI, which I have always liked.
-Great build, but possibly a little big.
-Nicest looking of the 3 phones.
-Screen not as good as Nexus S, SGS.
-Again, I have a DSLR so the 8MP camera + flash is nothing for me to get excited about.
Galaxy S
-Laggy out of the box - fixed with custom ROMs and other methods.
-GPS issues - Has this been fixed yet?
-Looks a bit too much like iPhone 3GS.
-Comfortable to hold, but feels a bit plasticy.
-Should get similar updates to Nexus 2, or at least good ports.
-Great screen.
-Increasing amount of decent custom ROMs, mods and themes.
So, with all that said, I'm still no closer to choosing one!
T-Mobile UK do both DHD and SGS already so I'll wait and see if they carry the Nexus S and then maybe I'll be able to make my mind up

I understand that the HD7 is almost the same as Desire HD in all terms..
so i guess that it's only a metter of time that a Dual boot will come out..I think..
What do you say?
I want to buy the mobile this week... I can't wait >_<
HD7 or i9000?
I know how you feel Lee...
But for me the Desire HD isn't a choice, cos it's cost 300$ more then the other phones..
that why i think about the HD7 as a choise..
and another thing.... The price hasn't change a bit even if you buy a Used one..

Wow, that's quite a price jump!
Personally, I'd go for the i9000 over any WinMo 7 based phone purely from an OS point of view.
My friend has the HTC Trophy WinMo 7 phone and it's a great handset, however I think the OS has a while to go before it's a worthy competitor for Android.
Don't buy Desire HD, it's a crap, beside the higher price than SGS, its battery life is horrible and its screen is never as good as Samsung's Super AMOLED.
If time is not problem, you should wait for Nexus S because it has the same specs as SGS plus Android 2.3, flash LED and good supports from Google.
You should get the desire hd it looks the best it don't have that crappy pentile and HTC has a 8mpx camera with flash has a micro SD card slot , and does anyone even use more than 500mb for apps/games anyway ?? , xda already has some wicked roms and with the new snapdragon(better than hummingbird *opinion*) the phone is mega fast straight outside the box and finally HTC always is the next in line for there updates

I was waiting for the Nexus S - I really wanted a stock Android phone, and when I saw the pictures I got very excited - and then I saw the lack of 850MHz 3G (UMTS) support.
Arguable the fastest and best coverage 3G network in Australia, the Telstra network runs on 850MHz (like AT&T and Rogers I believe). Pricing might not be as good - but work can pay for that .
So my question - should I wait with fingers crossed that a 850MHz 3G version of the Nexus S is developed/released, or should I just get a SGS (Telsta capable version - sorry can't post link am too much of a noob) and load stock Android on to it (assuming that in a couple of months someone will have figured how to do this for Gingerbread)?
I'm tempted to wait at least a little while, as no announcement of any availably of the Nexus S in Australia yet, but I really want to upgrade from my BlackBerry Bold soon (it and it's temperamental scroll "pearl" are is driving me mad!) The temptation to wait yet longer for a Honeycomb flavored phone is probably not enough to make me hold off.
Thanks for any thoughts/opinions on this idea

[Q] What will be your next phone?

Hello fellow SGS owners, I love my phone but I also get bored easily.
So which phone will you be getting next?
I'm thinking either
Xperia play - Hardly an upgrade but will make playing games a lot more fun especially old snes/gba games like mario/racing etc which really need a gamepad
Galaxy s2 - This is a good phone the next 1 has got to be good also right?
Evo 3d - Super specs but not even official in uk.
I also have another motive, a 20% discount card for o2 (shop in uk) which means I will be able to pick up a play for about £350 - The card is only valid till the end of the month so I'm guessing there is no chance of getting the evo but maybe just maybe the S2 will be released in time
So what would you do? or is there something else you are after?
Galaxy s2, but more than happy with sgs 1 at minute, for emulators I use a zeemote anyway so not bothered about xperia play.

Galaxy S II.
I think my next choice would be tegra 2 based. Just because of the support nvidia can get.
Which makes me disappointed that the galaxy s 2 may not be tegra 2 depending on the region. Also I personally prefer 4 inch screens.
The atrix has a higher screen resolution meaning that it gets less fps in games. And its pentile LCD which isn't the best. Amoled pentile is great as we all know. But non amoled pentile is known for its screen door effect.
Which leaves the LG optimus x2. Great ips LCD, not quite amoled, but good. And tegra 2. Perfect size screen.
LG optimus x2 for me.
Although doesn't the optimus 3D use the sgx 540, same gpu that's in the sgs, but overclocked and it kicks the tegra 2's ass if I remember rightly.
Good old sgs hardware
Tmobile G2x(optimus 2x in other region) because of the almost vanilla android experience, it is tegra, cyanogen will be supporting it. and its simple and affordable. No more no less and easy to hack? Haha lol
My other options is optimus 3d cause of omap4 and SG2 only just because of its looks.

Think I will be sticking with my Sx2 for a good while yet.
I'm waiting until the sgs3 to switch. Dual core is only three times performance of single while quad is fifteen times single core. I buy unlocked so I might as well keep what I have for a while and then get the absolute most for my money when I do upgrade.

If you really need / want a new phone then wait for SGS II but i would advise you to save your money and don't waste it on mobiles.
i heared rumors of the streak 2 could be my next one dell seams to leave the bootloader open don't they?
perhaps i'll go with the evo 3d i am into that whole 3d stuff but if a nexus s 2 or a nexus2 is on the horizon that would with the right specs be my choice above all

The Galaxy S II
Lol not a lot of love for the Play then.
That is pretty much my thoughts but I think I needed you guys to convince me not to go for the Play now.
Here is a question though, if I get to the end of the month and no other phones have been released should I buy a xperia play for £350? do you think I'll be able to sell it on a few month on for about that amount?
By the time my contract runs out my next phone will be quad core
maybe the Galaxy S3 when it gets released next year or if there is something better, then that, currently i have no reason to switch, the performance is great of the SGS, we have the latest Android, maybe we get the next one also and if not then we have maybe a really stable CM7 or CM8, for me it needs more then just dualcore to get me on a new phone.
Galaxy S 2 for sure. Galaxy is the best phone I've ever used by a mile. Modded to the max.
Also got an iPhone 4 (completely modded) but that phone is just a joke. Feels 2 years older than my S.

Is sgs still a high-end device?

Now galaxy fit has 2.3.6 earlier than us. I think android phones gets old so fast. Because imporiving so fast. What you think?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I wouldn't consider the SGS a high-end device anymore, it's more mid-range now.
IMO it still is.
I just sold my SGSII and decided to keep my OG SGS. Part of it is that the OG SGS has way better build quality IMO. The other is that my Atrix (minus the screen) beats the SGSII for my own use.
The SGS will be around for me until I find a worthy successor. And that will NOT be the "MicroSDLESS" Galaxy Nexus neither.
It's still a high end device until a worthy successor replaces it...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Look at some of the newer Android smartphones. They all have much higher pixel density (HTC Rezound beats iPhone now in this category), dual core processors clocked at higher speeds (SGS2 LTE has a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU), better GPUs, bigger and better screens, better cameras (we'll never have 1080p video recording on the SGS), not to mention they'll also get official firmware much faster than we will. Best of all, they probably don't have as many problems coming out of the box as the SGS did (GPS, RFS, etc).
The SGS is definitely no slouch, in fact I still think it beats the majority of smartphones out there, but it's no longer high end in relation to the newer smartphones coming out.
I aldo think,that the sgs is not anymore jighend but its the phone with the best modding scene. Their are still very good developer like teamhavksung eith the new ics build.

Definitely not high end anymore. Still a good power house with a lot of support.

Galaxy note or HTC one x

Which would you reconend from the 2 devices in the title and why? Thanks for any input
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
You do realize you're only going to get biased answers here, right?
I went for the Note because it has a bigger screen, a stylus, a replaceable battery and an sdcard slot.
Likewise...mainly for the screen size... I mean I have friends who all have 4.6 in down and it looks absolutely normal from spectator's, I on the other hand love the attention - yrs spec wise HTC one x does outweigh the phablet - you can compare this to apple laptops vs Sony, HP... the Macs have the lower specs overall yet people buy it for its unique looks and simplicity...(probably why the upcoming windows 8 look so much simpler than W7)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
It pretty much come down to this
GNote: Battery life and huge beautiful screen
One X: Quad-core
I don't think quad is needed as of now, so I would pick the GNote
Another "me-too" phone with higher-end specs (One X) vs. a genuinely unique, niche device (phablet with Wacom digitizer; N7000).
Seems like two different markets.
the main improvements over the note come from the one x's quad core CPU. if you compare them both in GPU benchmarks at the same ressy, they both perform quite similarly. when nvidia announced that the tegra3 would be 3x faster... they were comparing it to the tegra2.
so the main improvement will be in web browsing (android browser supports quads), smoother interface, and improvements in apps that support multicores (very few do aside from benches).
the only thing that peeves me about the one x is that it doesnt have a microsd slot, but im sure i can work around that with a usb on the go adapter since the htc one x supposedly has an mhl port.
at the moment, im just waiting for the other quad core phones to launch to see if there are any gems. the LG 4X interests me with its expandable storage (support for 64gb microSD), but it doesnt support the 850mhz band on 3G which would be bad for me since vodafone AU has a better 850mhz network than it does with its 900mhz network. theres also the galaxy s3 (same mali gpu but with quad core, so should perform on par with tegra3) and theres a fujitsu tegra 3 phone that has a 13.1mp camera and expandable storage coming soon as well, which should be quiet interesting.
i generally buy my phones outright... so when theres competition, theres a price drop, and thats a win for everyone!
Im gona put my Note in the drawer until ICS and probably get an One X just because i wanna surf the web from its stock web browser flawlessly in contrast to Note's choppy stock browser that loses its hardware acceleration all the time which is a big let down for me.

Well what are you looking for in a phone ?
Mainly to play games, browse social network etc ?
These are the questions i asked myself. And all answers seemed to point to the note
quadcore better than dual core.

True! Although i'd get smooth browsing by flashing one of the custom ics roms available in the dev section, i wont have a complete and stable rom with all the features that samsung is going to include in the final ics rom! So i'll be patient rather than flash ics just to see 4.0.3 under Android Version..

wait to see tomorrow what is introduced from Samsung as the next galaxy and wenn will it be on market, maybe a S3 withing next week's dunno, if you want the phone for videos check the issue with the blacks on them for the note it may be annoying if you can't live with it. ;-)

Galaxy Note
I was able to play with a demo unit of the HTC One X and I have to be frank after having used the Galaxy Note since November the screen size and quality has just become so familiar that holding anything smaller just feels odd. I might be biased to the Galaxy Note for now as there doesn't seem to be any apps that utilize all four cores and any gaming I might do would be on a PS Vita or Nintendo DS.

Ahahaha true that...today I looked at my friends iPhone 4 and I just straight laughed into his face and knew why without me referring to my note....I actually would purchase a 5.5in phone if it ever came to it...actually getting hooked to these big devices though I think the note is normal...

So there are problems with video playback on the note? Also are the custom roms as easy to flash as they are on my HTC sensation?
Thanks
