Android Thread V4 - Got money? Samsung Galaxy S II. No money? ZTE Blade. - Hardware & Software

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8BTvg.png[/IMG] Quite impressed, wasn't expecting these speeds from my 3G.

Well I knew it was too good to be true, Amazon.de hasn't even bothered sending out the Note. Going to have to wait until the 28th, oh well.

I saw a Note today. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD IT'S HUGE! I want one, sucks that I already have an SGSII.

[QUOTE=Robber;33860441]I saw a Note today. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD IT'S HUGE! I want one, sucks that I already have an SGSII.[/QUOTE] if I had £150 I'd sell my GS2 and buy a Note or a Nexus

[QUOTE=mankind_me;33860458]if I had £150 I'd sell my GS2 and buy a Note or a Nexus[/QUOTE] Why would you buy a Nexus? Its only advantages over the SGS2 are the screen and ICS and everything else is on par or worse.

I had the Note in my hands for nearly 2 hours. The screen is brilliant and the pen reacts MUCH better than I even expected, but I wouldn't want it as a phone, more like a toy to screw around with.

Someone summarise the last 437 posts for me please :v: Just come back from holiday

[QUOTE=Robber;33860482]Why would you buy a Nexus? Its only advantages over the SGS2 are the screen and ICS and everything else is on par or worse.[/QUOTE] the screen and ICS pretty much make the phone for me, even though the S2 is a great phone I don't think there are any apps that really stress a TI OMAP, let alone an Exynos, RAM is the same, I don't use microSD cards, NFC is a nice addition

Which android phone currently has the best video quality?

[QUOTE=Swebonny;33861229]Which android phone currently has the best video quality?[/QUOTE] Playback or capture? For playback probably the Note.

[QUOTE=PyroCF;33861161]But the Mali-400 is a hell of a lot better[/QUOTE] I know, but if the SGX540 is good enough, why overkill? Actually, what I would love is ICS and Nexus' screen on GS2 internals.

[B]SGS2 GTA3 Players that experienced crashing with Tegra2 gta3.set:[/B] 1) Make sure your game is updated to 1.2 (update released today/yesterday) 2) Use this config, it's the Tegra2 config with original SGS2-sized (read: big) controls [URL]http://www.mediafire.com/?6nsnh2mr1gu9s57[/URL] I couldn't play with any tegra config before, crashed after like 10 seconds. This is silky smooth and you get great visual quality.

[QUOTE=PyroCF;33861253]Playback or capture? For playback probably the Note.[/QUOTE] Capture. Is it still the S2?

[QUOTE=Swebonny;33861331]Capture. Is it still the S2?[/QUOTE] this may be biased but the video my sgs2 takes is fucking amazing

[QUOTE=mankind_me;33861303]I know, but if the SGX540 is good enough, why overkill? Actually, what I would love is ICS and Nexus' screen on GS2 internals.[/QUOTE] The thing is the SGX540 isn't [I]that[/I] good for a 720p screen, it was great on the Galaxy/Nexus S as it was appropriate for the resolution.

[QUOTE=PyroCF;33861359]The thing is the SGX540 isn't [I]that[/I] good for a 720p screen, it was great on the Galaxy/Nexus S as it was appropriate for the resolution.[/QUOTE] Oh, well then. Best thing now is to stick a GN's screen on the GS2 :v: [editline]23rd December 2011[/editline] also, additional info on the S2's video: 720p and 1080p makes the video seem zoomed in, it's just how the camera actually captures the image or whatever

[QUOTE=Swebonny;33861229]Which android phone currently has the best video quality?[/QUOTE] I heard the Sony Ericsson phones are pretty good. No, not the fucking SK17a. The more expensive models.

I'll email Samsung with that. I think I'll call it the Note.

[QUOTE=PyroCF;33861601]Brilliant idea! I'll email Samsung with that. I think I'll call it the Note.[/QUOTE] That won't do.. People won't just buy it because of a bigger screen. We need another thing.. Hmmm... [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8HOl0.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=PyroCF;33861601]Brilliant idea! I'll email Samsung with that. I think I'll call it the Note.[/QUOTE] where's the ICS, impostor!

My giffgaff sims just arrived! Except there are only two. The normal one, and the ref link one. Who's ref is it? We shall have to find out on christmas day.~

Anybody got a website that has some nice wallpapers? I'm looking for something new yet when I search for them I just get wallpapers for computer monitors

For any device.

[QUOTE=FlashFireSix;33862289]Anybody got a website that has some nice wallpapers?

You know you generally can't use phone sized wallpapers on Android phones because of the way the the wallpaper scrolls in the background. Seriously just get regular wallpapers, Android will handle the cropping and resizing when you go to set them.
