QUOTE(Racerx @ Sep 18 2011, 04:20 PM) In day to day use the difference in clock speed of the S and S Plus shouldn't be really noticeable but overall the S is the best among those three.That said i am not sure whether the GPS on the S is still problematic or not on the current firmware. Still,if i were you i'd get the Nexus S.  QUOTE(ogiveyakuza @ Sep 18 2011, 07:23 PM) go get nexus s bro..still among top 5 or top 10 fon from any reviewer... in term of shape, i'd prefer those S family.  anyway, is it google nexus S? care to elaborate more why u guys chose nexus s?  |

Hello I need some advice/suggestions please >-<;;
1. Preferably SE/SAMSUNG/Others. Not HTC please, I had a bad experience with it once lol. Currently eye-ing on SE Xperia Neo or SE Xperia Ray actually, but unsure of how good both are. Suggestions are welcome. 2. My budget is around RM1.300 below. (+/- RM100). Original only please. 3. Specs. I need the camera to be 5MP or above, with LED flash. Touch sensitive and a friendly UI. Also, a large screen. (4" below, 3"+ above) My brother has the SE Xperia Mini Pro, and it's really good so far. The only complaint I have about it is the small screen. I understand the purpose of it being called "Mini", however having used my iPod touch quite frequently, I find the Mini Pro's screen a bit too tiny. Btw, I've also noticed that the touch screen is not as sensitive? It's very apparent when I'm playing games like Fruit Ninja. It doesn't feel as easy as the iPod's/iPhone's. Do all SE phones have similar touch sensitivity or do some perform better? P/S : I'm currently using W995, and was captivated by Galaxy SII at first, however soon found that it was too large and too expensive. I loved the clarity and the pretty UI of it though. This will be my first Android phone if everything goes well haha ;; |

QUOTE(mozart.cass @ Sep 19 2011, 05:58 PM) oh i get it. SAmoled is deemed to be better in term of color saturation and contrast.on the other part, what's the difference between SAmoled and SLCD? based on ur experience, which 1 better? sorry for noob questions. oh and gorilla glass? Gorilla glass is glass made by Corning Co. which is claimed to be scratch resistant and more durable/hard than normal glass. Back on topic, can anyone here suggest me whether I should get Desire HD or LG Optimus Black(if I was to suscribe plan from Digi especially). Personally, i prefer the exterior of Black. How much is LG Black inferior to Desire HD in term of performance? Or anyone here can suggest me a better option, not necessary from Digi(plan+phone). Also, how much are the AP/ORI of them cost?

QUOTE(mozart.cass @ Sep 19 2011, 04:58 PM) oh i get it. SAMOLED has better contrast but the colours are too saturated and it uses a pentile subpixel arrangement which makes texts a bit more fuzzy compared to the traditional RGB subpixel arrangement on the SCLCD display.SAMOLED also uses more power.Based on that i'd take the SC-LCD display instead of SAMOLED.on the other part, what's the difference between SAmoled and SLCD? based on ur experience, which 1 better? sorry for noob questions. oh and gorilla glass? About Gorilla Glass,it 'should' be scratch proof but the one on my Galaxy Tab last time was scratched anyway when i put it in my backpack  |

Power consumption wise, it's subjective. If you customize your whole interface into a minimalistic black one then the S-AMOLED would definitely consume less power compared to the SCLCD. Text wise, its not noticeable or disturbing in any way so I don't think its a big problem. Saturation wise, it can be adjusted from a background effect setting in the display section. It has been stated over and over again. The Gorilla Glass is not scratch proof. Its scratch resist.
