But HTC phones quiet pricely , since my budget only 1k-1.3k +
and dont know why , i not really like the design of htc  sad.gif
almost the same .

Then you can try Optimus Black. NOVA screen is exceptionally unique.

QUOTE(nebben @ Aug 12 2011, 09:16 PM)
plus, dual core and gingerbread, any brand except sony ericsson, prefer samsung, motorola or htc
*
SGS2 should satisfy you,

QUOTE(nebben @ Aug 12 2011, 09:20 PM)
cant wait long, leaving for uk on end of sept, what do you think about photon 4g, galaxy s2 and sensation, hard to choose, or are there better motorolas out there?

Added on August 12, 2011, 9:23 pmwhen is the release date of droid x2?
*
Sensation is not recommendable as the screen is a little problematic.

QUOTE(Dannyl @ Aug 12 2011, 10:19 PM)
Brand: any
Budget: not fixed, the cheaper the better
Spec: <4" screen (or something suitable, X10 already too big); at least Froyo; good camera
Use: take pics & videos, calls, SMS, Viber, GPS, Facebook, surf Internet

Desire S off the top of my head. Any others?
*
Desire S should be good. You can also go for the lower end Huawei X5.

Thanks bro.  But Huawei X5 camera not exactly good, is it?   hmm.gif
*
Average.

So are most cameras at that price range.

Added on August 12, 2011, 10:53 pmI don't know if its really hard to put a decent 8mp camera in a smaller phone but the only one I know that doesn't have a screen of 4" and above is XT720.

And i like to ask, izzit much difference between ap and ori set ( besides claim for warranty)?
*
No difference. Sound quality wise, SGS would definitely be better due to the superior sound chip. Gingerbread update solved the lag issue and gps issue too.

Act i m comparing between Xperia Neo n SGS ( and also HTC Desire S ap set). Are the 2 smartphones audio quality same? And, the internal memory for xperia neo is quite small (320m). What prob may occur for low internal memory ( will it cause some apps cannot be installed?)
*
Low internal memory would not cause apps rendered unusable but you might face lag due to the low internal memory. You can always force app2sd. But you have to be rooted to do that and sometimes apps may not work correctly.

SGS's sound quality would definitely be better whether with a audiophile headphone or just the internal speaker itself.

QUOTE(adri4n @ Aug 14 2011, 02:50 AM)
had 2 models in mind now

SE Arc vs Galaxy SL

the more siding towards arc becoz of the design but what worries me most is :-

1. Performance - gaming + gps
2. Custom ROM - alot of reference on galaxy compared to arc
3. Internal storage - arc is way way smaller than sgsl (4GB) causing alot of app to be installed into removable media which way cause alot of lag
*
If so, go for the older SGS. Better GPU compared to both of these phones, and you can have 16GB internal storage. There are also a lot of roms.

QUOTE(mia_sara @ Aug 14 2011, 07:12 AM)
how bout samsung, lg and htc?
*
Nope. Most of the other brands offerings do not offer such a powerful camera whilist still retaining the low price.

Guy, can recommended any phone beside Samsung Galaxy Mini (budget within RM 600)?

CSL MI-310

Around RM4xx

QUOTE(raul88 @ Aug 14 2011, 05:52 PM)
hey guys
which one is better samsung galaxy s plus (i9001) or htc incredible s

or should i wait for galaxy r instead?
*
I recommend you go for HTC Incredible S>

Galaxy R is not worth the wait since dual core apps aren't fully integrated yet. And on single core apps, the tegra 2 is reported to be weaker than single core phones. If you're not going for phones with a 1.2ghz dual core i.e: SGS2, Sensation its recommended you go for better single core alternatives.


SGS+ is also okay.

4 inch is great. really. bit somehow, x5 screen is more vibrant than mi410.  hmm.gif

There shouldn't be any difference colour wise between x5 and mi-410 as they both use TFT screens. At least not noticeably.

The extra 400mhz is not really useful.

The camera lacks of a flash.

Build quality is still lacking.

QUOTE(nghj @ Aug 16 2011, 09:59 AM)
yes there's no flash and its plasticky, but for a bit more $, i suggest the newer model Plus vs 1 year old S or the nexus.
not proven, but samsung claim they tweak the new model to have better performance and also battery life.

added: http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-galaxy...marks-20110811/
*
At that price I would suggest getting the Incredible S instead. The Nexus S is definitely better battery life wise compared to most models of the Hummingbird SOC.

The Plus is running the 8255T which is a factory overclocked version of the 8255(Desire S/Xperia Neo/Xperia Play/etc) which means gaming wise, the Nexus or the older SGS is still more powerful.

If the user doesn't intend to do HEAVY multitasking, the 400mhz or at least 200mhz is just a waste. Benchmark wise it might seem like a very good processor but practical wise, its not much different than a 1GHZ 8255 since they're of the same series and apps are already very fluid on the 8255.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, a higher clocked processor consumes more battery right? hmm.gif

yes, i do remember that the HTC Inc S is one of the most popular phones recommended here, thats why i brought up the Plus.
in the end, the Incredible and Plus are just the same in terms of the msm8255 and adreno 205, except the Plus is clocked slightly faster.
also i think that amoled screen and samsung tweaks are interesting because it's got advantage in battery life than the Inc S.

in the end, i guess its just down to whether u prefer HTC or Samsung device smile.gif
*
The S-AMOLED screen is certainly fascinating but it won't appeal to people who prefers more subtle and real colours.

About your last point, I do not agree with that because the Incredible S suits beginner users more due to the friendlier UI and performs well out of the box.

I don't see why would the Plus be recommended to the Incredible S except from the point that the Ori sets costs the same as the Incredible S's AP sets.

Refrain from using /k/ language please.

If you want people to be jealous when they look at your phone you shouldn't have any budget limitation. Since you do, I suggest you add another 100-200 and get an AP HTC Incredible S.

Powerful camera, good GPS, 4" screen and should manage doing multitasking.

SGS vs SG SLCD vs S Plus.  Is SGS considered 'obsolete' since it's discontinued?  Is SLCD and S Plus worth their price?  So few people use them.  Good dev support?  Accessories totally same as SGS?  Thanks.

Actually what is /k/?
*
/k/ is the kopitiam subforum

So anyway, if its meant for general uses/gaming the original SGS is okay. I don't see a reason to get the S Plus besides having the highest clock speed with no apparent reason though.

They're not the same although the roms used are the same.

Hi, Guys I want to buy an android phone most probably a 2nd hand one or ap set.
1. Brand. (HTC/Samsung/Sony Ericsson)
2. Budget. (1k-1.2k)
3. Specs. (1GHz,5mp above)
4. What you need in the phone. Need to use it for gaming purpose, durable and have a good second hand value. Or just cheap tongue.gif

5. What I have in mind. HTC Sensation/Desire HD saw this 2 sold for 1.3k in mudah)
                                  Samsung Galaxy S family
                                  Sony Ericsson Play (can buy this near 1k only and I think if wait for a few months can buy it even cheaper, this is top of my list because of the game pad and they say the slide screen is very sturdy and no wobble xD love a good slide phone. + one-of-a-kind android phone and games look fun on gamepad with optimised performance)

Want other opinions or look from other's perspective what I should buy. I don't want to be too influence by emotion when buying xD
*
Those sold on lelong are either recon sets or display sets. I suggest you get them elsewhere.

Its wise to top up around RM200 to get a HTC Incredible S.

Hye,

between Experia Arc, LG Optimus Black & Galaxy SL
which one is the best based on:

1. Batery life performance.
2. the display
3. Smooth (which one is the smoothest?)
4. camera quality (don't mind the megapixels)

Please help me  notworthy.gif
*
Display wise, Optimus Black
Battery life wise, not sure
Smoothness wise, Arc and Black should be roughly the same
Camera quality wise, definitely Arc since it has an 8mp sensor and SE tends to have powerful cameras for their phones.
