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

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.

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.

1. Brand. (HTC/Samsung/LG/Motorola/Others): samsung, htc? or any others.
2. Budget. (1.5k-2k) below 1k
3. Specs. (Ram/Proc/Camera's MP/Screen size) no special preference
4. What you need in the phone (Good camera/good sound quality/durable) good camera. need to support custom rom. so definitely not something like htc sensation. smile.gif

SL is the cheapest but better dont bother.

Incredible S and S Plus both have their own pros and cons, what do u want? nice screen? good camera? solid body? easy to use? etc??
just read the few post above yours and the previous page.

Up to date: Nexus is your best choice.
but just a small warning, the sd memory card cannot be removed.

I've narrowed down my choices between the HTC Sensation and Samsung Galaxy S2. Coming from a HTC Wildfire, I'm a little worried that I may not be used to Samsung's UI. But I did try it out for a short while a few days back and it seemed alright. However, based on what I've read here, it seems that you really need to root the S2 to get better performance.

My other concern is build quality. The Sensation seems more solid in hand while the Galaxy S2 felt so light and plasticky!

Any comments?

if performance is important, S2 is the way to go.
as for the build quality, just get a rigid and weighty case for it.
