Ace is not a good choice.

Less than 1k, you can try Xperia Pro, Desire S, Xperia Neo, Nexus S.

What's wrong with Ace? Doesn't have to be less than 1k I guess since my parents will be paying for it lol. tongue.gif But not super expensive also la. Don't really like HTC but Nexus S looks quite nice. What abt Galaxy R? And any idea how much is S Plus?

Nexus S can get from authorized dealers @ around 1k+-. It's still ori set smile.gif If AP then maybe 9xx. U can just go to any phone shops to get S+, but make sure check whether the warranty is from official samsung(ori) or other company(AP)

I don't recommend S plus. Rather go for the older SGS. Or Galaxy W/Nexus S.

Allow me to correct you few stuffs

Nexus S has better camera as a 5MP but not as so good as Arc because the colours seems wash out, only the video camera is that bad because it don't shoot 720p. IMO, the camera in my Nexus S takes better pictures than my Moto Atrix.

DO NOT TAKE NUMBER OF MEGAPIXELS TO JUDGE CAMERA PERFORMANCE.

Nexus S already tasted pure ICS, Arc still need to wait for Sony to layout their timescape UI before launch.

Screen wise, bigger screen higher battery consumption due to display time. (I'm not apple fan so don't think I'm using 3.5 inch phones, Nexus S user)

Processor wise, nothing to said because both are quite good somehow. Numbers isn't gonna show how fluid is the UI, an extra 400MHz doesn't give any difference when comes to multi-tasking/browsing and etc.

As for ICS, do you want pure google or timescape?

allow me to correct you on these stuffs .
Although megapixel didnt contribute the most in quality , the nexus s cam is still crap when compared with other phone .
and processor wise the 400Mhz will surely give more speed .

You may not agree with me but its the fact when 1Ghz < 1.4Ghz when both have the same cpu architecture and gpu .

well even got link2sd also can't move a lot apps
furthermore, store at internal storage is much faster than store in sdcard
yea i know arc s gonna get ICS update
nexus s got crappy ram ?? how come ? i tot it it has the same ram with arc s which is 512mb ?

Read properly before reply . You points are unrelated in this argument .
I will give you a few hints . Search google for link2sd and cam =/= ram
one is camera and the other one is random access memory .

Since when Qualcomm and Enynos are having same GPU? One is Adreno and another one is PowerVR.
Nexus phones aren't high end droids, these driods are for developers.
What is the point having more extra processor speed and drain extra juice while you won't need an extra 400Mhz to run basic applications? Unless you are in heavy multitasking. Think about it, since this is recommendation thread I gonna end this here and not gonna bring this to another level.

P.S. If you concern about camera quality, pick Arc if you are a person who likes vanilla android, stability, snappiness comes along, first to up-to-date. Pick Nexus, end of story.

By same i mean similar performance not the same model . The cpu is base on ARM architecture . ARMv7 for both of Exynos 3110 and msm 8255 should be similar to each other.
The 3DMarkMobile benchmark , GLBenchmark 2.0 suite and 3DMarkMobile ES 2.0 V2 shows that those two gpu is near to each other .
I don wan to go into those benchmark thing because the forum reader will probably won be able to understand it . So i stop here , if you are interested in deeper debate pls do pm me since this is a recommendation tread so i will stop here.

"Unless you are in heavy multitasking " i don think so . The 400Mhz more would makes 3D fireflies live wallpaper run better on arc S than nexus s and it is a basic UI decoration . The cost of battery drain is certainly worth when compare to extra 40% of cpu .

At last camera quality , thats the point that Arc > nexus s alot and you just lightly bring it over .
And those above tread still mentioning nexus s cam is not a weak point when compared with Arc's cam which i don think so . It has a crappy cam . Its not wrong because u defend your phone blindly like those iphone user but i cant agree that your "MEGAPIXEL theory" can be applied on this case .

Actually, does Android scale the CPU speed on demand? Even without apps like Overclock Widget, I noticed my CPU usage spans across a range of clock speeds when viewed in CPU Spy, from around 200Mhz to max speed

That one I dunno, maybe old stock purchased which cannot let go hmm.gif

Mostly for the same price range:
SE will get the best camera
Google Nexus will get the most updated firmware
Samsung will be best all rounder
HTC will win best UI

OFFTOPIC: Post #2500 icon_rolleyes.gif , xDarkKnightx can close file already.
