Hi guyz,i wan to ask about the newly galaxy W , planing to change from SL.

1) does it 4gb or 2gb storage? (some seller post 4gb,some 2gb)
2) does gameloft games data save on external sd to run or internal? (if internal,it quite fast run out of space)
3) does it have gorilla glass?

Thanks !
*
Why change from SL? The only advantage W has over SL is the 1.4 proc (and the stock Gingerbread if you care about it).

SGW vs original SGS, which is better? The extra 400Mhz significant or not?

Actually should be S II has average resolution. 480x800 is average, plenty of phones have it.

S Plus is a LMAO phone.

Overpriced and performs the same as a Galaxy W.
And still lacks a camera flash.

If you plan on going for an S plus, I would recommend you opt for Incredible S.

Also, dev support is limited on the S Plus.
*
New set cheapest I've seen is RM859 for SGW and RM1060 for SGS+. Is the RM200 worth it for the extra 0.3" screen and Super AMOLED? But missing LED flash.

SGS vs DHD. Normal phone use, Whatsapp, casual games (PvZ, none of those Shadowgun stuff), taking pics and videos, GPS, streaming songs, tethering... you know, the usual. I see alot of people selling both in Garage Sales, so might wanna try one. Currently using SGSL, I think both SGS and DHD are smoother and better, yes?

Recommend me something. My requirements: reliable GPS, reliable USB tethering, easy to root, screen at least 480x800, camera at least 5mp, screen at least 4", proc at least 1Ghz, not too rare model so can easily get SP and accessories. Budget <1k, will willingly consider 2nd-hand. Thanks!

I'm going to repeat my enquiry, this time limiting the phones to 2 models, Desire HD and Incredible S. The IS is more expensive by about RM100.

My requirements: reliable GPS, reliable USB tethering, easy to root, not too rare model so can easily get SP and accessories.

Does anybody know why suddenly got so many Nexus S brand new sets in Garage Sales? Seems like Maxis and Samsung are clearing stock...

The recent clear-stock Nexus S prices are tempting. Nexus S vs Incredible S. Which one better?

But if you check carefully again, you'll see it's very very hard to get them at such prices, mostly sold out or seller no replies... smile.gif

with that budget ,

o2x dual core .ori set . biggrin.gif

or else s plus will do fine tho if you want a samsung phone
*
Agreed. But S Plus has GPS problems, saw a thread at XDA mentioning about it, and so far nobody replied positively.

QUOTE(sia1990 @ Dec 15 2011, 01:48 PM)
is the super amoled better than s-lcd in anything else other than having richer colours?
*
Super AMOLED is more battery-saving because the pixels turn off for black colours instead of displaying blacks.

QUOTE(lOrDjAbU @ Dec 15 2011, 03:25 PM)
i used sgs1 for 1 year and 4 months now.

sgnex seems like a nice upgrade but then 5MP cam really disappoints me. motorola razr is quite nice, such a macho phone. but does it give stellar software performance (smooth UI, optimized apps, etc) and will motorola fulfill their promises that razr will get ICS in early 2012? i heard motorola screws up many customers (droid 2 or x, idk) with their 1080p recording promise. i don't know if motorola can be trusted. dun like htc, because it's geeky and unpopular and ugly UI. hmm ..
*
HTC design and UI is what propelled them above Samsung in the US market. Regarding popularity, HTC phones are the most supported for CyanogenMod and MIUI. Maybe your taste is vastly different.

Galaxy W Pros

I'm also considering a used Galaxy S 1.
Actually that is still my #1 choice.
Or is it not worth it to get a used set even though it is more than RM100 cheaper?
Galaxy S1 has a Super Amoled screen.
Is it worth it to get a used unit for a better display compared to a new non-Amoled like Galaxy W & Nexus S?

Besides looking only at the specs, what other thing should I consider?
Is there a big disadvantage software wise to get an older phone?
Are there updates?
I would like to think so considering that the Galaxy S1 was their flagship model.
*
For a used S1 if you can find one with warranty, they go for about RM800. Easily better than Nexus S. Plenty of people letting go S1 now in Garage Sales.

RIght now, a used SGS is on top of my list but why wouldn't they get updates (ICS?).
I thought that SGS was Samsungs flagship phone last year

Normally phones get 1 major update in their lifetimes. SGS already got upgraded from Froyo to Gingerbread laugh.gif

Ah. Then not getting ICS is justifiable. Already got 2.2 and 2.3 from 2.1.

QUOTE(yuhhaur @ Dec 23 2011, 10:25 AM)
2010 xperia x10 gets 1.6 -> 2.1 -> 2.2 Froyo
2011 xperia lines gets 2.2 Froyo -> 2.3 GB -> 4.0 ICS (due April 2012)  whistling.gif

Now you can see the difference between a Japanese & Korean companies
*
X10 was SE's Android guinea pig. Released with 1.6 when everybody had 2.1. Upgraded to 2.1 when everybody went to 2.2. Finally relented to the raging masses and gave 2.3 when previously officially announced 2.1 would be the last. Now trying hard to win back customers' hearts by providing up-to-date OSes.
