Samsung tried to do too much with lack of experience.Software was never their strength.They tried to do something with S3 but ended with "convoluted" product. Some of their additional functionality like multi window (even though it was more like hack) was interesting. But if Samsung want to have the best hardware/software experience they probably have to streamline their ROM's & make their UI more consistent.
Aside from the Nexus series I would say S2 as 1 of the best Android phone.Excellent hardware with good software support.Sammy updated S2 from 2.3.6->4.0.4->4.1. Would have been better if Samsung went further with the software support.
Also Samsung should really improve their hardware documentation.It sucks.
Again DiGi with Nexus? Oh, please no. I think the early Nexus 4 adopters will agree with me.
I'm waiting for the Malaysian Nexus 5 launch. But if no update till February I'll probably go for 32GB AP set.
Seriously,even Moto G which was launched later than Nexus 5 is going to be launched in Malaysia soon even though Motorola pulled out of APAC market.LG still have presence in Malaysia. What's the holdup?
Within the timeframe of upgrading from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 to 4.1.2, 18 months have already been utilised.
So upgrading to further version (4.3 or 4.4) is no longer applicable.
Yes, S2 is the best phone Samsung have ever produced.
However, it is plagued with eMMC brickbug, like Note N7000 too.
Yeah, I agree on the DiGi brought in Nexus 4 part.
In around June 2013, I saw them offer RM499 only for Nexus 4 if you sign up 24 months package.
After that, suddenly the phone is gone and they stopped offering this phone.
If after CNY and no news on LG Malaysia bringing Nexus 5, I would probably buy AP set too.
