1. Brand : Samsung/LG
2. Budget. 1.2-1.4k
3. Specs. Standard specs with the price stated above.
4. What do I need : A good phone that can last me at least 2 years.

I have a 2 models in my mind, 1 is Optimus 2x and another one is Galaxy S Plus.
1 - Is 2.3.3 available for O2x in Malaysia ?
2 - I seem to see alot of users reporting that their O2x is having lots of problem i.e crashing, random rebooting. Does the phone really suck that bad ?
3 - Is the Galaxy S Plus a good buy compared to the O2x ? Coz both have almost the same price for AP sets.
4 - I've watched some videos on the net about Galaxy S Plus and the phone is really snappy and smooth, while the O2x is kinda choppy and lagging in the UI and browsing, which is why I'm asking whether the 2.3.3 is available for O2x in Malaysia or not.


That's all.
Thanks !

Thanks for the recommendation. Will check that phone out.

Thanks too, will check it out.

Oh and 1 more question, is it good to buy a single-core phone now ? I mean, more and more dual-core phones are being released from lots of major companies, will these single-cored phones will be outdated ? i.e not getting more updates.

Desire HD can get for RM1299 AP liao

I heard batt life improved on 2.3.3 ?

GUYS ! I'm in dilemma now !
Which phone should I get ? Incredible S or Galaxy S+ ?

This will be my first Android phone, upgrading from Nokia S40.
I've tested the phones and knew their specs.

Both phones are in the same price range, but there's a huge difference between them which is the build quality, HTC is more solid while Samsung is more plasticky and cheap.

S+ also have lower res camera with no flash but IS has higher res photo with flash but video rec. sucks.
IS also have lower battery capacity than S+ which it's difference is 200mAh (?)

S+ have Super AMOLED while IS has only S-LCD, screen isn't really a problem with me as long as it's "seeable".

About the launchers, I'm more familliar with TouchWiz since I've used TW many times before and I find sense's UI is more laggy compared TW.

Both have the same GPU, RAM is not a problem for me as I don't leave much apps open all the time.
Processors as everyone knows S+ packs an overclocked Snapdragon proc while IS is the 1Ghz. SD proc.

My biggest problem is the battery and the camera. I prefer higher res camera with flash but video recording kinda sucks and I don't really like the Sense UI. IN the same time S+ have higher battery capacity, lower res camera with no flash, better launcher (IMO).

HOW HOW HOW ?

I need some IS users to talk about the battery life.
I'm still quite bothered by the camera though

Thanks for the replies.
@Daniel - I feel that the Sense UI kinda stutters abit, that little bit when scrolling and panning though home pages, but as they say you can just download 3rd party launchers which is no problem for me.

@Xeactor - Thanks but I don't really like the design of that phone, but it's an awesome phone though.

Guys I think I might go for the IS for the solid build and rubberised back with 8MP camera.

Depends on what you want to use it for.
Why don't you go to the phone recommending thread just right up there kak ?
