SP's camera is better than P's, because it uses a sensor from a newer generation (Exmor RS vs Exmor R), and probably has better

lens, too, although both have the same resolution. I'd recommend a newer device (like XPerias V, ZR or SP) in opposed to S or SL, because the support (both official and on XDA) for these newer devices will last longer. The XPeria S is a nice device, though: I got it a few days ago to replace my 2.5-year old Defy, and haven't regret. The community is having some difficulties to implement 4.2.2, but they're being solved as we speak. I'd go for a newer XPeria device if I could afford it, though.

GS2 and GN are better than P for gaming: they have better CPUs and GPUs. Plus, on GS2 you have only a WVGA screen, which gives you better performance over P's qHD. Just avoid uncommon versions of the S2 (like the one they released a few months ago), they have little or no community support and worse performance.

thanks for the reply. I replaced L with P sorry for that :o. I was considering Xperia L not P. will correct my post.

well Xperia SP and Nexus 4 are not cheap here in my Country. Priced very high and as i'm a Student right now my father doesn't allow me to buy Highly priced devices.
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
Well then go ahead with the s2 but only the GT-I9100 version.

By personal experience, my unrooted untouched JB 4.1.2 running S2 works 20-30% better than my sister's unrooted untouched JB 4.1.2 running s3 :p

So I really trust this device.

galaxy grand duos vs htc one s

Hi,

I am planning to buy a new phone and am confused between grand duos and one s. I know that HTC has said that One S will not be receiving any more OS update, but I have heard a lot of good things about this phone and hence confused on which one to buy.

My phone usage is mostly mails, calls, a bit of fb and watsapp with a little bit of gaming. I am moving from Lumia 800, which I loved, but don't really want to go for another Lumia after the troubles that my last phone caused.

I am looking for a smooth functioning phone without any lags.

Can someone help me out with their views on both these phones?
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
Can you tell your budget please since neither of them is good enough.

Grand literally sucks while One S is a bugged one!

Performance wise YES XPERIA T IS BETTER.

Community support wise s2 is better

Your choice

Press THANKS IF I was helpful :beer: :cheers:
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
Xperia T wins up on a head to head spec sheet.

But it has a famous random reboot problem. (Not sure if the latest JB update fixed it)

So on a personal basis, since I hate the timescape UI I'd still be on the S2's side.

At that budget where are you getting a One S :eek:

It was around 23-25000.

Well if you are getting one then go for it (check the config first, Indian models are equipped with S3 snapdragon that has almost nil XDA support and obviously underperform in front of the dual krait, the original has).

Else in that budget xperia L is definitely the wise choice!

But you should know it has a con.

It can't record and play full HD videos. Recording and smooth playback limits at 720p.

Actually L comes with the snapdragon and C comes with the MTK chipset.

And I'd say snapdragon because you even though MTK might outperform by a small margin since it's a quad core but it definitely isn't getting Xda support.

S4.....coz the graphic on note 2 is too old and can't handle heavy games in few months

hey everybody !

I want to buy a tablet in august for taking notes at school, checking my mails and using the internet.

But i don't know what to buy between these three tablets : Nexus 10, Acer A210 and TF300.

A keyboard is compulsory so the tf300 is interesting to me with its dock but i read that it has a IO issue so...

The nexus 10 is also interesting but some tablets are buggy i read so....

At last, the A210 but it is less powerful than the two others.

Can you tell me your opinions please guys ?

I was interested by a w8 tablet but they are too expensive for me because my price is around 400 dollars/euros.

Thank you

Android tablet with socket/s for quad external antenna?

I'm interested in finding an Android tablet that has a jack or jacks for external antenna for all of GPS, GSM, 3G/4G and any other wireless protocol you can commonly think of. It also has to have, in particular, GPS, GSM and 3G/4G capability to go with this of course.

The unit has to be of good quality, doesn't have to be a recognisable name brand or look particularly flash.

Sources like alibaba in bulk quantities would also be OK. (When I search alibaba with relevant keywords, thousands of irrelevant products come up, which is why I'm asking the experts.)

The antenna is meant to be car-mounted so would probably be external. Any antenna product and technology pointers here would also be most welcome, including location of antennae, whether outside is always better than inside, etc. The following is a sample quad-function outside vehicle antenna, all I need is a tablet to go with it!

www kolumbus24.com/Zubehoer_/_Sonstiges/Antennen/GPS_-_Antennen/Calearo_157727075_-_SHARK_2_QUAD_Mehrfunktions-Antenne_AM/FM_/_GSM/UMTS_/_GPS_/_WIFI_i440_2685_0.htm

(Noob no URL rule is tripping me up, you will have to convert this!)

Hardware hacks of existing models are not so desirable -- I would rather work with a manufacturer to modify a unit with built-in jacks in the long run if necessary. A larger 10" screen model is more desirable.

e.g. there are car DVD players running Android out there with options for external AM/FM antenna and possibly others, however I need a flat screen, not looking for chunky in-dash car stereo formats.

Thank you!

Hi guys, I'm currently in India and will be for the next 6 months or so. I currently have the pantech burst running slimbean r6. It's a great phone, does what I need it to with no lag or anything but the battery life is killing me! I get roughly 3 hours or so of screen time which is isn't enough (on wifi, forget about leaving it on 3g, I might as well walk around with a charger).

I was looking to get a new phone but the absolutely most important thing for me is battery life. Here is what i'm currently considering and I'm only listing locally available products that come with warranty (samsung india won't touch anything that isn't sold here).

LG Nexus 4 - $386

Samsung S3 (I9300, 1gb ram, 3g only) - $404

Samsung S4 (I9500, sammy octa, 3g only) - $576

These are the only ones I'm considering, the note 2 is just too big. That being said, I've been reading reviews and comparisons and have come away completely confused. Some say the n4 has horrible battery life, some say its excellent. S3 apparently doesn't have enough ram. S4 with the sammy core has overheating issues. I'm completely stumped as to what to do. The S4 can be had for roughly $490 since samsung is doing a buyback offer if I trade in my blackberry (they'll also throw in one free display replacement and an S-view cover) but I'm having a hard time considering since I lose my blackberry (faithful backup phone) and also don't get 4g or a snapdragon. Can someone please shed some real world light into this matter?

My usage: the pantech serves me beautifully with barely no lag or issues. Its just the battery and no, there isn't an extended battery available for it. At least none I could find.

Thanks for the assistance guys!
