RM1800+- range, anything better than Galaxy S2 white now?
Galaxy Nexus better? But less spec than S2, radio and some other stuff, worse camera. This post has been edited by LOLsim: Jan 16 2012, 02:51 AM |

QUOTE(xDarkKnightx @ Jan 14 2012, 11:22 AM) 480x320 can run all apps. 320x240 cannot. I recommend you top up another 300 or so and get a mid range Nexus S which you would be very satisfied with. kk.. maybe i should just wait for a quad core thingy coming out Galaxy Nexus is quite a dealbreaker due to it's high price and it's a downgrade compared to the S2 despite the high resolution. As per Retina Display, the higher resolution is not really significant and is suited for more less jaggy graphics in gaming. For normal use, 800x480 is good and 960x540 is the sweetest spot. Note's screen looks extremely distorted colour wise when compared with the S2 and Nexus side by side. Not sure if it's a screen issue. I recommend you wait for now.   my nexus s is doing well tho, ICS is really a good OS, speed up the phone so much.. |

1. Brand - Any
2. Budget - Below 2k 3. Specs - Dual-core, decent camera, super amoled plus, high-res. screen 4. What you need in the phone - Mainly for web browsing (prefer higher res. screen - 800x480 or 960x540, as per xDarkKnightx's post above). And a large enough screen that typing on the virtual keyboard isn't as miserable as on the HTC Desire. This post has been edited by kwackers: Jan 16 2012, 11:28 AM |

Y not Just wait for Xperia S to launch 1st then take a test on the device then only u decide Those are the advatages of the Xperia S but Galaxy Nexus is also dual core and comes with ICS and Xperia S is only on android 2.3, Is ICS enough to be the reason for me to get GN now? or should I wait for Xperia S? For SE they main high selling point is the Bravia Engine & the most important is Exmor R because that will help u in low light condition capturing. |
