Anonymous, 23 Jan 2012hey friends! which is a better phone? samsung galaxy s2 or ... moreThe excellent:
- Software. You've got updates and fixes.
- GPS. Locks fast (5-8 seconds in my car).
- Screen. The best screen today, period. I've used them all. Contrary to what others are saying, this is being advertised not for the camera, but for the screen and the software (the camera _software_ and the "Nexus" debate).
- Secondary camera: very nice.
The good:
- Hardware performance. You can notice lags rarely. Mainly on the launcher. But it feels fast especially on demanding tasks, which is good. The Galaxy S II has some components that are better (the GPU, I believe).
- Battery. It's not abysmal like everyone else is saying. It's expected for a phone with this large screen. I'm talking about the GSM version...
- Compatibility. Some apps are still not fine tuned for ICS. Skype is a notable example.
- Reception. On par with my Milestone/Droid. Better than the Nexus S. Better than all my previous Nokias.
The bad:
- Loudspeaker. Could be louder.
- Camera. It's not bad. The software makes up for a lot of its deficiencies and the zero-lag (provided by the hardware) is awesome. But at 5mpx, there is only so much that you can do... for today's standards, it lacks.
Those are my impressions after 3 weeks. If mostly of what you care about are in the "excellent" and "good" criteria (especially the screen!), go for it and you won't regret. And of course, as long as the camera is not a huge compromise for you. Remember: it's not bad by itself. It's that today (and yesterday, too --- see GSII), we have much better options.
If any of the "bad" is a deal breaker for you, then forget it.
Overall, it's the best phone I've ever had: bunch of Nokias, the first iPhone, HTC Magic, Milestone, iPhone 4, Nexus S, HTC Sensation, and finally this. This felt to me like a huge update to previous stuff. I value screen, performance, GPS, secondary camera (gtalk chat a lot) and the software/freedom of the Nexus. It's no wonder I bought the GNex and I'm extremely satisfied. And no, definitely no iPhone 4S for me.

AnonD-39367, 25 Jan 2012dude, juz a piece of advice from me.. get ur language sharp... moreI believe he did try his best to fix his grammar. He has a point though. Its pretty useless saying that phones are not good. We do have different points of view on phones. So its better if we say we dont like it coz it doesnt suit us. ^_^
BTW "BAD MOUTH" means that your saying bad about something. but the way he used it I supposed he meant Bad Mouthing the phone...

1- a lemon;
2- bad reception;
3- cr@ppy carrier.
I have mine and reception is just as good as other phones (not the top best, but better than almost anything I've had --- a lot of Nokias). Seems on par with the Milestone/Droid.
I have absolutely no problems... people even say that the call quality is very good when I call them. I have a GSM GNex, by the way.

I like this phone, it's better than the Galaxy S2 in my opinion, but don't get me wrong, there are some downsides. I would compare this to the S2, HTC Rezound/Sensation XE, and even the Galaxy Note if you prefer. this is a great tech'd out phone because of its dual core 1.2GHz processor and super amoled 720p display. It seems to lag a little (only been 2 months of use so far) whenever i open my contacts app.. the camera isn't that great too and it is advertised for it's camera... (portrait unlock, panorama capture, snapshot which is very common these days)

I've had the S2 (i9100) and now the Nexus. Out of the 2 i prefer the S2. I knew wat i was getting into esp. w. the camera being a 5 mega pixel on the nexus but I have to dare say the s2 beats nexus in a far margin because of the 8 mega pixel camera. The nexus takes great pics. w. the flash on even though the pics comes out a lil. yellowish. As for multitasking, nexus wins. As of easy to get to different switch on/off toggles, s2 wins. I miss the toggles so bad. Other things I dont like about the nexus is, the phone will black out and freeze on you, then you gotta pull the battery, it gets a lil slow and laggy, browser crashes every damn minute, cant upload files and pics from browser, s2 i know i could have. Volume eats ass. It suxs. Even with Volume+ it will work one time the next minute it wont. Battery is equal to s2. s2 comes w. several samsung apps that I luved like samsung hub, the folder app. etc.. Nexus you have to download 3rd party alternatives which don't work as well as samsungs own. Facebook sync don't work, smh.. I luved the way on the s2 when u set a wallpaper it covers the whole pic, nexus it can only cover a 3rd of the pic, making ur wallpaper zoomed in. Look list goes on. If the s2 i9100 was compatible w. t-mobile i would have kept it. in addition when the s2 gets ics very soon it will perform even better on top of touch wiz. I knw tmo has its own s2, but my god their version is too too big, ugly and the colors is not as sharp as the i9100 s2. Anyway, i think if u want ics, get the s2 and wait fo the upgrade that will soon come.

This phone only has 16gb internal memory and you cant get 32gb in the UK no one is selling it. How are you meant to take HD videos and have music with only 16GB? SGS2 all the way.
