Hi I was looking at phones yesterday and took interest in Samsung Galaxy Y and Samsung Galaxy W. But I feel Galaxy Y is abit small though. Is there any other android phone with the price range between Galaxy Y and Galaxy W?

Hi, I just want to know what are the problem users are facing with Galaxy Nexus S and Galaxy W? The threads are just way too long, I just want a quick summary.

Example : Something like I read in the first few pages of Galaxy W - cannot charge until 100% bug/issue

Nexus S is the best of the three.
1. Official ICS update.
2. cheaper compared to other phones and better specced
3. It comes with a stock launcher. What's not to love
Also, Galaxy W is not getting ICS and I don't think sgs+ is. Cuz even the original SGS is not getting the ICS
Nexus S at RM9xx would be the best choice. The lack of a micro SD slot might be a turn off for you but 16GB should be more than enough for you. If its not, then I recommend you go for an AP HTC Desire S. RM899.

2 things.

1. What is the improvement of ICS compared to the previous Android OS?
2. Is it confirmed Galaxy W is not getting ICS?

SGS 2 > ICS at 2012 Q1


Added on December 23, 2011, 2:13 pm

to simplify

ICS (4.0) = Windows 8
Gingerbread (2.3) = Windows 7
Froyo (2.2) = Windows Vista
Eclair (2.1) = Windows XP
Donuts and earlierĀ  = Windows 95/98/ME etc...

Erm was refering to things like battery life, processing speed etc.

I check some blogs, but most are complicated. Would be nice if there is a simple table that compare GB vs ICS
