The neo V is just a suggestion just in case u like its design or so. Galaxy W is more recommended than neo V.

I recommend nexus S because it is a google phone and has...
-better future support than most droids
-stock vanilla UI = smooth
-loads of custom ROMS to play with
-better GPU than galaxy W although galaxy W is faster by 400mhz, but the GPU matters more than the 400mhz
-16gb internal memory but no card slot though
-bigger screen with gorilla glass

I thought that GPU only matters if you play a lot of games?

CPU + GPU is important too.

i dont own s2.. only S+
my S+ pass it to my parents liao.. but i still will use it sometimes xD
wa bout urs? i remember u said ur sgs2 at ur sister there or something?
actually i also aiming for nexus but way over budget d.. the closest thing is either nexus S which fully support by google or neo cause of the cam. don't want samsung edi after the decide not to give us ICS..

when will the s2 price go down? should I get s2 now or wait for a few months more?

yup. no touchwiz or what timescape UI (useless to me) lol
hmm do u guys think google will give jelly bean to nexus S? nexus one did not get ICS right?

Yeah, I know. But I use my phone mostly for surfing, listen music or play with apps(maybe some lightweight games), that's why I asked whether I should get a phone with better GPU or not. (As a better GPU can hasten the picture loading time for the browser, I think)

Hi guys,i'm planning to buy new smartphones. This will be my first smartphone. I hope to find good one that suits my budget. Hope you guys can advise me in this.

1. Brand. (HTC/Samsung)
2. Budget. (Around RM 1.5K )
3. Specs. (any spec)
4. What you need in the phone (Good camera/good sound quality/GPS/long last battery)

Thanks

Ya, nexus one no ICS. For the jellybean thing, N.S has the highest chance to get it than any of them in the 1k price range...maybe can challenge those rm2k phones also

Added on January 10, 2012, 10:10 pmSE xperia arc S (sound quality I think so-so only though) or wait for the MWC event to know what are the upcoming phones

Added on January 10, 2012, 10:12 pmI think if can wait then wait lor, cuz MWC event coming soon

Added on January 10, 2012, 10:15 pmBut I think the advantage of the better gpu is more than that clock speed? That's what I read somewhere. I think GPU not only for gaming not that sure...hope some other forummers can help u in this

seriously... NO! how fast your browser can load the image is highly depending on the network you are on. Your rendering speed will always be faster than your network connection.

Added on January 10, 2012, 10:28 pmFor such a small device yup the GPU is not only for gaming. Anything which has an UI will actually require a graphic accelerator to render it on your screen. How fast could it be render on your screen? That's depending on both your GPU and CPU. On our dekstop the speed is too fast where the difference can only be significant when gaming or other application which require high graphic processing power.

Infuse 4G @ 1300 ap 4.5"/8mp/3g/wifi/gps

I'm talking about keeping other factors as constant and keeping CPU and GPU as the factor la.

This is what I'm talking about. What I meant is that will the loss of 400mhz be worth it for the sake of increased performance of GPU?

Simple answer to your question. You're image loading speed bottleneck is on the network. Not your Gpu..

@x132755, bro.. if you are in my shoe , which one u prefer ?? Infuse 4G or htc sensation xe (need to add extra $)?

Well, I had already said that, KEEP the Network speed as a constant factor . Just compare the CPU and GPU

do you even know what comparison you making? Constant? Nothing is constant and of course better CPU & GPU would help. That's just a simple logic but for browser img loading.. That is a bad was example....

Yes, I'm very clear of it.
Google Nexus S:
Galaxy W:
Does the size of your phone changes? Well, maybe that example would not be that suitable since Internet speed is a factor that can't be held constant that easily.

Obviously I know that better CPU and GPU would help, but now my question is what if one goes up(GPU) and the other one goes down(CPU)?

sony erricson xperia arc s, htc sensation, samsung galaxy s plus

no one will be able to give you the damn exact figure here. Both unit if taken for comparison there would not be much difference and you are the one who took PICTURE LOADING as a benchmark. If you want to benchmark them just use antutu scores.

The extra 400mhz of horsepower is useless. It serves no purpose. The SGX540 will definitely triumph in game FPS if compared to the adreno205.

Added on January 11, 2012, 9:36 amInfuse 4g is not really recommended as it is a single core phone and since your budget is already quite high, I suggest you either go for a Sensation/XE or you wait till next month for more announcements.
