Honest opinion rgd s2, s3 and note

Ok first off, flamers sod off!
I'm considering getting a sammy soon, so I wanna get a general consensus on what would be the preferred weapon of choice, strictly for opinions of course, below are some of the points I've considered, hopefully other people can bring to light some facts about these devices that I'm not aware of that might help me choose with a better piece of mind....
S2 - countless accessories, numerous roms and proven track record
S3 - better hardware, possibility of extremely great support but yet to be proven track record, questionable battery life
Note - honestly I don't know much abt daily use of this phone as the people ard me that use this phone are old folks who think that custom roms and enhancements are against laws or something
Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Oh why I asked this here, cos I wanted a neutral standpoint, if I were to ask in the individual forums, their users would most definately wax lyrical about their current device and make the opinions biased in a way....
Thanks in advance! :beer:
just sayin....

Galaxy Note 2 will be anounced soon
In my opinion s3 is the best choice, because it has a bigger screen and a better hardware

Galaxy nexus, you have a great hardware (not as good as gs3) and always the newest software improvements, not as expensive as gs3

But gnex got no removable SD right?

go for the S3. ROMs will start pouring in by the time u'll get enough of Touchwiz.
Future Proof hardware (atleast for next 4 years), a killer 720p HD screen (this is the prima facie requirement for me when am buying a cell), wayyyy good specs. the Jump from S1 to S2 was not as big (or monumentous) as it is from the S2 to the S3. and the small perks of the cell make you actually feel special.
go for the S3. S2 and Gnote are not even a comparison. (don't get me wrong, they are just great devices, but are dwarfed when compared the the mammoth s3).
Although, note the Screen has pentile tech (that means u'll roughy he handling about 30% less subpixels than other 720p screens like the One X or the Xperia S, but i feel the punchy colors, out of the world contrast and viewing angles more than makes up for it)
at the end, it's your decision. if i were you, and had to choose from these 3, 110 times out of 100 i would have gone for the s3.

You're right, but I don't think you need it. Now look how many years the nexus one has been a top device

I also would stick to the Gnex - always latest & greatest software is priceless. BTW there are rumors about a "pimped" version of it, called GT-I9260, which could have a SD slot according to graphics here (in German) http://stadt-bremerhaven.de/galaxy-nexus-verbessert-samsung-das-google-smartphone/ which was taken from sammobile.com

Thinking of Selling GT9305

I'm thinking of selling my GT9305T to get a Note2 7105. Or do you think there will be more XDA support for our device? ie more Roms etc

No response I think I answered my own question lol selling it after a short week of use
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium

Its hard to say if there will be more dev support for the i9305 but I think its going to be the same for the n7105. The i9300 and n7100 are both more common then the LTE varients. The n7100 was released first and already has a lot of dev support so in my opinion if you want more roms etc for now the n7100 or i9300 has the options
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA Premium HD app

I agree with txr33. There will eventually be more support here soon anyway. The LTE is a relatively new device. We only need the kernel support like Siyah kernel (which I have someone working on for us at the moment) and then we we will be able to boot with AOSP. Other than that I kind of like the newer Samsung touchwiz interface and the multiwindow support stuff. Samsung is making this stuff very practical for us now days
Other than that, what was the specific reason for wanting to sell your device? LTE is never going to have as much support as standard until LTE becomes more the mainstream. You will just have to bide your time

LTE variants always have little to no developer support, the state of this forum is pretty good for this category, i mean most people bought the 3G international version, so it's natural to have more support there.
If you just care about dev support and not LTE, go for an international device, if you need LTE and don't mind less (still good and impressive for these kind of devices)
For example, the I9000 (Galaxy S) version has good developer support.
The I9003 version (Galaxy S too) is currently stuck with a dead forum.
Also, The Note2 is superior if you don't mind the size, GO FOR IT ANYWAYS.
Be happy and enjoy your device

Actually the only thing superior about the Note 2 is the Size, The I9305 is the same hardware Ram, GPU, CPU, Just overclocked. Actually my phone right now is running at a faster clock speed then the Note 2.
And If you want to sell it go right ahead. You shouldnt ask anyone.it would be funny if after you sell it 2 months later we get 3x the support we have now. And to be honest the support is quite good for the reason its the 2nd release. Dev support is not going to sky rocket in 1 day especially because most the S3 people dont have the money to spend and get the an upgraded S3 some might rather wait for the S4 as it will have more upgrades and they will be probably almost finished there contracts. But I would guarantee if someone had an I9305 boxed up and handed it to one of the I9300 users and said either your phone or the I9305 Only pick 1 they would pick the I9305 if it was free of charge.
But like I said if your already thinking of selling it because of the Dev support then I think you should sell it. Peace V

Thanks for your answers still I love my 9305t just torn as I really like the note2

I had a i9305, got a n7105 and then went back to the i9305
its toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo big

I have the Biggest laptop a alienware m18x so why not a big phone lol

I think there will be come more Devs and Support soon, cause Vodafone Germany sells now only the I9305 to bring on LTE. But it also seems that many developers opt for the Google Nexus 4.

S3 LTE vs nexus 4?

Hi all
I'm debating on buying either of these two phones
I play a lot of hd games so is the s3 LTE's gpu good enough (compared to nexus 4)?
The only reason i don't want to buy a nexus 4 is because of the paltry storage.......
In terms of performance does the s3 LTE match the nexus 4?
The S3 LTE is approx. 40$ more than nexus 4 where i am going to buy it and will the S3 LTE get android 5? (or even further)?
I would appreciate a quick reply as i have to buy either by tomrrow....

also
i dont mind lack of lte in nexus 4 my main worry is storage on nexus 4 and performance on s3 lte

Nexus 4. Get a big one and storage shouldn't be an issue, else you're using it wrong. I base this recommendation on your posting this on XDA, I assume you were at some point going to flash a non-standard ROM on your S3 LTE, yes? You will never get a completely stable AOSP-based ROM on an S3 LTE, this means ParanoidAndroid, AOKP, CyanogenMod. They will run, but they might drain the battery more than usual and certain features will probably never work on them due to lack of source code from Samsung. Same goes for the Exynos-based S4.
Get a Nexus 4, Sony Xperia Z or HTC One... Or buy my S3 LTE for a good price?

Lol sorry man can't buy yours but i do plan to have 3-4 hd games and considering this takes up around 8-9 gb the remaining 2-3 gb on nexus 4 isn't sufficient......
Have you tried any hd games on ur s3 lte? How do they perform? And yes like you corectly concurred i will be running cyanogenmod if i buy an s3......

Nexus 4 support only 3g network, of cause you should not by nexus 4.
4G network is the trend, you should buy galaxy s iii lte

I had the same dilemma and my choice was i9305. Development is slow and painful but other than that it's great phone. 2GB of RAM and LTE on board makes it more future proof than N4. Expandable memory is a MUST so N4 looses again.
I've played few new HD games on it and there's no lag or anything, smooth and crisp graphics. Brightness half way up and you can play up to 4hrs non-stop!
Removable battery is a good thing if you want to play games on it.....
Price is going down as well, here in UK, you can get new one from eBay for less than £300 so it cost the same as N4.
It's really up to you but I'll suggest S3 LTE.

If I hadnt been given a 4G S3 as a replacement by insurance when my orig S3 broke I would have gotten a Nexus 4, Not a fan of samsung anymore they are far to closed to development on there hardware. My friends with the Nexus 4 dont mind the lack of LTE as its plenty fast enough and with so much Wifi I guess it depends on how important LTE is to you

I agree with the others, the S3 LTE is a good phone. But it is a terrible choice if you plan on running CyanogenMod.

Rekoil and co - how is it a 'terrible' choice.. Come on dram queens.. CM10.1 is working a treat on my I9305 don't kno wwhat your on about.. Stbale, feature rich (sure a few things not present) and development is nightly just like the rest of the game.. So I ask again.. Sure the kernal tweaks/modding is where we're lacking but with the right tools you can can very good battery life and performance is blistering..
All in all only negative is the scope of development presently - this isn't to say things won't change with respect to kernal.. In short nothing critical is missing and development is churning along nicely.. A few features i'm sure you'll miss if your looking but makes up for in performance/multi tasking imo .
Lack of ROM choices is another issue sure - but if your talking CM then not really as they're all pretty much on par..
So Kernal once again.. This is the big miss with the phone.. Anyway just eager for kernal releases if possible.. Otherwise i'll still be content until the next big thing comes my way and th ephone still rocks hard core

hm, imagine when all your friends are watching youtube hd video using lte network, getting a 40 to 100 mb per sec download speed without lag and wait time for start and you are still using around 10mb download speed. waiting the video to load up , hahaha
I think at that time your would regret buying a 3g phone at the beginning.
and the truth is at some point of time in near future ( actually it is happening now in Hong Kong), the mothly charge for a 3G plan is equal to a monthly charge of 4G plan. Would you think you are stupid when you are paying a 4G plan while using only 3G network simply because you are using a damn phone that can only support 3G network?
And for the wifi, come on, be realistic, in a coffee shop , 30 people sitting there sharing the network, how fast can you get from that wifi network?

Thanks for all the input guys......sat down and calculated how much storage i would need after all the games and music and excluding videos i will have used around 12.4 GB. Considering the nexus 4 has only 12.9 GB storage available to the user I will mostly be going for the s3 LTE.....
I'm sorry if I'm coming off as annoying but rekoil is cyanogen really that bad on s3? That would be a major put-off......because I can't stand touchwiz.....and right now on my mini almost every custom ROM like AOKP and CM has one problem or the other....
Oh and anguslaw 4G doesn't really matter to me we don't even have it yet here in india :-/

And what about the graphics glitches in keyboard and other places that will literally never be fixed? TV out will also never be fixed.
I'll be honest, I'm going off what I've seen on my friends non-LTE device (I9300, pretty much the same device apart from the modem), I personally cannot run AOSP-based on my device because if I run anything other than Perseus kernel my baseband doesn't find an IMEI, perhaps this has pronounced my dislike for Samsung (in my opinion, something like the modem configuration shouldn't be so easily breakable/writable). But everything I've said is true, all the good developers want nothing to do with the Exynos4 platform, codeworkx happened to have ported to I9300, making I9305 very easy to support, but he wont even accept a free I9305 at this point, because he is fed up with Samsung.
I will mention this again because I feel it is an important point. I very much like the hardware, it is simple in design and feature rich, this is a phone I would have stayed with for several years... if Samsung had released source code for the platform in a timely manner. At this point I am probably going to sell my I9305 soon and use my old Desire S until I can get ahold of an Xperia Z or something. All the sources for that device were released BEFORE the device even hit the market, now THAT is good support.
And... "development is churning along nicely"? This is literally all that is happening in terms of development for AOSP-based ports. If you know anything about programming you can tell that those commits are not development so much as fixing configuration mistakes and applying code loaned from other devices.
Although this is interesting... apparently the Galaxy S4 in my market will not be using the Exynos Octa, but rather a Snapdragon 600. This might be a pretty good contender in that case! At the moment I'm personally considering HTC One, Xperia Z and Galaxy S4 (but ONLY if it comes with Snapdragon 600).

I would go for a nexus 4. Brilliant processing and graphics rendering and no lack of roms or development for the next 3 years atleast. Also there is something called enjoying one game at a time. In my experience I have never liked playing more than one good game At a time on my phone. Nor would u b wasting your time removing the crap that Samsung puts on it's phones. Just my view, yours may be different

Thanks for the input guys. I'm now decided I'm going to buy nexus 4. I'm also thinking because of lack of additional storage. But i have nexus 7. I can play all the games that I put there. My friend let me hold his note 2 and I was asked to root it and install rooms or kernel. I searched in xda and read threads. I'm a little disappointed because of few custom roms. I'm really looking for aokp rom but it's not stable on note 2 I think this applies to all Samsung phones except for Google edition?
If you're into tweaking and want custom roms, high performance phone go for nexus 4 and leave that additional storage, removable battery, LTE, and touch wiz!

Seems you made your choice. They are both equally good phones, just in different areas. The nexus 4 is faster, nicer and has a superior screen. As for stock android ... well I hate it - it is faster, but I guess it's a matter of preference. One advice - when you pick up your n4 take the phone as you would talk and listen for any noise from the earpiece - they tend to hiss a lot and if it does, ask for another one. Also look for a rev 2.0 N4 - they made some nice small changes in the design, google it.

Even if you will get a Nexus 4 i still think that S3 LTE is the way to go for what you need it, yes Nexus 4 has better development and better GPU, but S3 LTE you get more space, you can get a spare battery, better screen for gaming (the home buttons are a bit of a problem at first at least when playing some games).
So by me i'd say strictly for gaming:
Nexus 4: 1) better GPU (not that better in real games only in benchmarks).
S3 LTE: 1) more space (you will need it the more the game will evolve)
2) spare battery a must for gamers on smartphones (or a big battery)
3) games seem better on Amoled screens (but that's just my opinion, and no problems whit the buttons).
4) better sound if you use headphones
But if you want to mod the phone go for Nexus 4 v2.0.:fingers-crossed:

I would like to know how is the radio/antena quality of Nexus 4. Galaxy Nexus has terrible reception compared to S3. GPS chip is a second class (still talking about GN.) too. I got a feeling that they build Nexus devices to be crap intentionally, so that all software which is able to run on it, flies on other high end devices . Regarding Note 2, I am not sure what the guy is talking about. There are plenty of ROMs and support for it. It is a great peace of hardware IMO, and my favorite one. It always comes up to, what for do you actually need/use a device. I want to be able to work with it. For me that means writing emails, doing some system administration (I use PaderSync for ssh for example.), sometimes working even with Excel sheets, browsing the web, and making pictures of documents and singing them (stopped doing this.) and for all this I need a bigger screen and resolution, always good reception and decent camera. I also like colors of amoled screens .
So you decide depending on what is important for you, and check the value for money ratio, of course.

But if you are not in a hurry, why not wait a little and consider other phones? Xperia Z has great support, sources are published, it's a nice device, HTC One and S4 will get Nexus like versions. So depending on how do you intend to acquire your device (contract or free/unlocked) maybe you will be able to get one of newer devices?

N4 has good reception, high class gps and amazingly sharp screen. It's fast as hell , boots in seconds and loads apps instantly. UI is very responsive (butter) Camera is also decent, but not better than sgs3 and the led is weaker.
Only drawbacks are speakerphone, in call quality, lack of space and the terrible vanilla os with the onscreen buttons and ugly and very uncomfortable UI (personal opinion). Oh and that battery... Well it's not intended for gaming , it's a developer phone and ! If I was new to android I'd get the nexus, but the OEM skins actually make for a better usability ( s planner, better phone ui)

You like TW ! I don't like S Planer because it forces you to use Samsung Calendar, and doesn't have 2 way sync with Google calendar, what I use for work too.
Speaking about launcher, Nova is my preference. Simple but powerful. Should be the Google stock one.

New device.

Hey guys,
I'm going to buy a new device but now I need your thoughts on something. I'm going to buy a Galaxy S3 brand new or S3 LTE (4g) secondhanded. The major difference is that the LTE version has twice as much RAM as the original S3. Will I experience this with normal usage of phone, so no heavy games etc. Give me your thoughts guys.
Ps: Of course I will keep this device, everything for me started with this phone and now I want to see how far we can go with this phone.

To stay away from a lot of problems caused by low RAM, the standard of RAM amount in Android devices (look medium range) today is 1 GB. More RAM means more multitasking performance and no memory problems for heavy apps, going through Android system slowdown while RAM is almost full. With 1 GB you should be ok, but not away from possible risks, especially if you use "always open" apps like Facebook/Messenger, Whatsapp, Email, Exchange Services... With 2 GB you are totally out of RAM problems, also because in 2+ GB devices the Android's lowmemorykiller (it's mainly because of this when you have slowdowns in low RAM devices, Android tries to close apps to free memory but when it reach the point where cannot close other apps? Slowdown!) is almost not used anymore, it's present, but you will never reach the point where Android uses it. About LTE, if in your town there is it, you can take advantage of faster network speed.
My suggestion is to buy LTE version.
Now depends from you, if you want a brand-new device that in 6~8 months, especially after Android L came out, will do the end of Janice (look at slowdowns caused by low RAM amount) or buy used LTE version that has the double of RAM.
The future is always behind the door, technology has big news everyday, you buy a device today and tomorrow it's old. More time passes, more future apps will require and occupy more RAM, leaving away new Android versions from this speech

O man galaxy s 3
Another samsung crap most of s3 users are regreating go to gsm arena and see
If u have budget then only go for nexus 5 or 4
If u want midrange then go for moto g u will never regret after buying phone like this
galaxy s advance ****sung i have bought this crap in 22k when it released i am regreating everyday
No quality of hardware ( scratches everywhere within 2 years)
No quality of software ( we have alredy faced that)..
And s3 is big brother of this s advance so........ Think

Why you want a plastic feel? I don't like anymore samsung phones.It has plastic and doesn't have that premium design.So,my suggestion: buy Nexus or Xperia (i want to get xperia ZR because it have removable battery).You will get a premium design

Maybe with his budget can buy only S3 device.
All Samsung devices suck while original, just change ROM to see it become to fly fast like a rocket.
Nexus 4 is a good phone too but battery sucks

I think buying a samsung phone second-handed would fit the budget well and give you the benefit of a great battery performance. Just 'upgrade' to any custom rom asap.
The plastic and old fashion looks also have an advantage, if you drop your phone here and there quite a lot. Replacing a screen on a slimmer new gen unibody phone would cost you a fortune!

I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300, so 1 GB of ram) and runs so fast with a custom rom like cyanogenmod. About LTE version, I didn't test it.

Maybe Blu
What about a BLU brand, maybe a BLU Studio 5.0 C HD? I have not tried a BLU product but am impressed with the specs and the cost.

Already did haha nice developement in there. And Archi's CM of course About that KitKat update, I'll check it out.

I think I'll be more satisfied with the developement of the normal S3. And I really want to try Archi's CM.
