Galaxy Infuse 4g isn't a powerful phone at all, single core but massive screen.

Not for gaming or higher end graphics.

Honestly I am loving the i727 (Samsung Galaxy s2 Skyrocket)

Picked it up last week and it's a beast! I am not in a LTE zone yet but turning of LTE I get awesome batterylife.

Playing fun games like GTA III with no performance issues.

Some other phone reviewers are calling it the Galaxy s2.5 lol

1.5ghz dual core instead of the 1.2 woot!

Waiting for the Galaxy S3 :D
[General Topics] r3dd09:
I've read that the s2 is better over the skyrocket still for rooting or something of the sort. nonethelss, 1.5 is a beast in itself ;)

Having just upgraded to the SGS2 (GSM) from a Hero (GSM)... Well it blew my mind. Surpassed all expectations I had in store for any android phone, The UI is smooth, even though gingerbread renders it in software... I've tried a Few higher end Android phones when I was using my Hero, Desire S, Sensation, ect, but The S2 has definitely impressed me the most. Bear in mind that a huge factor towards naming a great phone is the ROM it uses; Stock Samsung with Touchwiz makes me wanna puke. CM7 is pretty good, even the MIUI for the S2 is pretty nice, if not a bit too iPhoney.
[General Topics] Proc73:
Of course most of the people say their phone is the best, but my humble opinion is that Galaxy Note is the best right now.

S2 is getting "old"... next generation is coming out.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Well, that logic makes no sense. The note and the S2 have the same hardware...just different screen size.
[General Topics] Proc73:
My point is that S2 came out last spring and it surely cannot be the best anymore, or can it? Note can be just a tweaked S2, but still better, unless you consider the screen size too big.

My impression is that the race is currently between Note and Nexus.

Also need to consider, that Note is still largely unavailable to US customers, so their opinions are still unheard.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
What I am saying is, the hardware is THE EXACT SAME. The note is the S2. Just a larger screen. IT IS THE SAME PHONE. It is not tweaked...it has the same processor clocked to the same speed.
[General Topics] Proc73:
Isn't S2 1.2GHz and Note 1.4GHz?

Nevertheless, saying it's the same phone is just an unnecessary provocation. It's a different phone. Ditto. Same CPU yes, same GPU yes, same phone no.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Ok, this is a pointless argument because you are obviously confused. The fact that you have to argue between 2 phones that came out 6 months apart automatically means you lose. Same hardware, therefore not an upgrade.
[General Topics] Proc73:
I was just going to say this is pointless also. I'm not the one confused. We're talking about 2 separate phones, not a same phone.

But let's have it your way for new year happiness: Galaxy Note is a S2, so the best phone is Galaxy S2. Note is just an anomaly, not to be considered in this thread.
[General Topics] godpancho:
Note-hd amoled screen,1.4 exynos with slightly better gpu, 5.3inch screen with stylus and a Massive battery.

International sgs2-amoled plus 480-800,1.2 exynos, not really 4.3 inch but like 4.28 or something,

So besides from the cameras being the same, Wheres the same hardware at. The note has similar specs than the international sgs2 but better in each category except in cameras.

Even though I own a skyrocket,In my opinion the note is the best phone out right now (until the galaxy s3 comes out in march)
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
The nexus is better than both phones...GSII has a larger dev community....obviously it can be OC'd to match the 1.4 GHz...
[General Topics] godpancho:
How's the nexus better? Is it because of ics? Note has better specs all around.or are you saying it's the best because its the phone you own.

[General Topics] Adauth:
You are a moron. Everything you just said is false. Do some research before you get diarrhea of the mouth again.
[General Topics] zelendel:
Really? Look I am sick of all the childish name calling that is going on from new members. This will stop or you will be banned.

Now as for all he said not being true. Verizon LTE was down again. And you will notice GSM phones have more developers due to 90% of the rest of the world using GSM not CDMA. Alot of developers don't live in the US where Verizon is one of the few companies still using CDMA that was developed 20+ years ago. Most of the rest of the world has moved over to GSM. Look it up.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Well, since my post a week ago, the Rezound has been rooted, but the Razr's bootloader has not been unlocked...
[General Topics] Adauth:
Lol. Banned for moron? Whatever now I see why this site has the reputation that it does and to think I actually purchased the xda app. Oh well put my money to good use!
[General Topics] zelendel:
Yes flaming someone is not allowed. As for the sites rep. This is a developers site. Not a users site. Yes we have rules and yes they are upheld. Name calling has no place here.

2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
[General Topics] Adauth:
Also how is it a fact that Verizon is the worst carrier? Sounds more like an opinion to me.
[General Topics] Adauth:
I've seen much worse than "moron" a number of times. Whatever if calling someone a moron one time is a banable offense then ban me.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Well yes, you are correct, that was opinion. Opinion based off of the development of their phones. The locking of their bootloaders. The fact that they are CDMA and not GSM. And the fact that they are the most expensive of the 4 major US carriers. Those are the reasons that Verizon is the worst carrier..in my opinion. The GSM Razr's bootloader can be unlocked. The CDMA Razr's bootloader cannot be unlocked. It's reasons like that that cause many of us to dislike Verizon. They are just lucky they didn't lock up the Nexus like that! That would have been the last straw for many of their dev conscious customers.
[General Topics] Adauth:
Verizon has the best coverage and a better LTE network by far in the U.S. as for the locked loaders that doesn't mean that much to me it doesn't stop me from doing what to my phone. Also does not mean that won't change. As for price, my opinion is you get what you pay for.
[General Topics] zelendel:
That depends on where you are. Verizon is not even here at all. And the last 2 states I lived in ATT had better coverage.

For locked bootloaders that is a huge prob for developers.

But this is all to each his own

[General Topics] thelegendarylegends:
HTC

The best RIGHT NOW i think if u want a large screen is Sensation XL

and if u want normal screen is Sensation XE ....Why ?

1. They have good specs

2. Htc do not just put so many good specs on their phone just to check the cheklist like samsung, eventhough samsung is faster in Quadrant, guess what ? Quadrant doesnt represent everyday use ! HTC actually USE their dual core systems to be optimized for maintaining permormance and apps by both cores..

3. HTC Sense 3.5 isnt that laggy as other say it bcos if ur in xda right no u prob most likely to wanna root ur phone therefore sense 3.5 custom roms are beatsly fast and so stable for high end games..

:):):):):):):):)
[General Topics] Aerocaptain:
My opinion for top android phones. Kept it as basic as possible. Not trying to drop full specs for each device. Was trying to highlight the most notable aspects as unbiased as possible.

1.) Galaxy Nexus: best screen on the market, CPU/GPU just a hair under SGII in real world comparison, zero shutter lag, NFC, NO manufacturers UI, ICS (even though many phones will get it eventually, GN will always have the best integration of it), google backed for the next 2+ years, arguably the best Dev backing. -negatives: modest GPU, signal issues in some cases (hopefully will be fixed with software update), limited hard storage.

2.) Sprint SGSll: Best CPU/GPU combo on the market (outside of the note), great camera. -negatives: very limited 4G support (on att variant, no 4G on Sprint), touchwiz UI

3.) Galaxy Note: fastest phone on the market....but the phone is too large for the majority of people, is not yet available in many countries, and no 4G support.

4.) HTC Rezound: Very good overall device; high resolution screen, fast processor, good camera, 4G support, good build quality. -negatives: HEAVY UI, classic HTC form factor

5.) Motorola Razr: Most durable and visually appealing of all current phone devices. CPU/GPU at par with other high end phones -negatives: its a Motorola, motoblur variant UI, not a comfortable form factor for many, locked bootloader, low res screen.

On a side note, CDMA and GSM both have there advantages and disadvantages.

CDMA-better signal reliability including less dropped calls due to the way CDMA switches towers for best signal.

GSM-much higher download and upload speeds on the 3g technology. Much more of a universal technology.

Not that it will matter in the next few years as carriers move to LTE which will carry both data and voice eventually.

Imo galaxy S2 is really great;)
[General Topics] optimus x:
I think that the Samsung Galaxy S2 is excellent as far as style, modding, and everything you would look for in an phone. I personally prefer Galaxy over the Droid2, Though I'm excited to see what the next generation of Droid is going to be like with Google's recent acquisition of Motorola Mobile.
[General Topics] DonEmu:
I personally like the Galaxy S II. The power and form factor are nice for me and even makes me overlook my dislike for the Touchwiz UI.
[General Topics] The Janitor Mop:
The Samsung Galaxy S II was the best phone of 2011 imo. It's a shame that my contract for my previous phone ended at the time it did, because that led me to get the HTC Sensation, which was sorta the best T-Mobile phone at the time. I drooled over the SGS2 from the start wondering why the hell we couldn't have it in America. My Sensation is alright, but I always really wanted the SGS2.

All these months later, and it still stands up as one of the best phones. I was so impressed with the SGS2 last year that since I'm getting my first tablet this year, I'm going to wait to see what Samsung comes out with because it will probably be amazing (and based on rumored specs it will be).

Runner-up: Galaxy Nexus
[General Topics] BorgCymru:
What would the forum suggest for my next phone to my Desire.

I'm after a large screen and would like , but not stuck to, a fold out keypad.

Not able to afford the likes for the Samsung Galaxy S II and its ilk yet but would like to look out for a second hand HTC that fits the bill.
[General Topics] Aerocaptain:
Depends on how much you plan on investing?.....is this for an upgrade or purchasing retail? If retail, once you narrow your search to a certain kind of device, visit the xda market. You can probably find a good deal there for a second hand device.....and try open yourself to a phone w/o a keyboard. Much better selection.

I waited forever for the galaxy s2, but alas, Verizon didn't release it. I was mad, but not anymore! The galaxy nexus is amazing! Its quick and the screen is like nothing I've ever seen! I don't know if it's due to the curved glass, but the depth of videos is fantastic. And its a bonus, being stock and unrooted, that I don't have to deal with that TouchWhiz crap!!! :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] martydelaney3:
Just got my GS2 a week or so ago and it's my first Android coming from a Samsung mythic, needless to say it's been quite the jump.

Luckily for me I had a few friends who are quite savvy and they helped me root it and showed me a few roms. I jumped around and I'm currently using SHOstock (which is quite fantastic).

I'm at the point now where I'm thinking about contributing but I have no idea where to begin. I was just wondering if any developers or anyone else for that matter had any tips on where to start.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] demon9206:
I'm no developer, but I've seen many people ask this question before.

The devs always respond with something like "Create apps for Android first, to get to know your way around the OS. Then move on to Somalia/baksmali" or something.

Check out my thread I made a little bit ago. Its relevant to your question.
