Should i get a samsung galaxy s2 or a samsung galaxy nexus?

Q. What are the differences and which is better

A. I bought my Galaxy Nexus unlocked here and I love it:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ZEF01A/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=acomprar-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005ZEF01A

Pros:
1. Incredibly sexy: thin but not too thin, slightly contoured, more rigid than other Samsung Android devices thanks to the internal metal frame
2. Large, bright, detailed screen. However it doesn't come off as huge due to minimal bezel and the use of the bottom portion of the screen for contextual soft-keys. The screen uses a pentile-matrix configuration, but the pixel density is so good that you really can't notice unless you look very closely and even then it's difficult to tell. The blacks melt into to the bezel beautifully and the colors pop.
3. You get the very latest version of Android, with instant updates from Google. I have grown to despise carrier/OEM UI skins and their accompanying OS update delays. The Android 4.0 UI is a huge upgrade and behaves much much better, making such carrier/OEM skins even less desirable. The interface seems to have been reworked from the ground up for smooth, responsive operation. Transitions are slick, and apps run great. I haven't had app compatibility issues some others have mentioned; some games haven't been updated for 4.0 yet but most apps I use work fine. The whole experience is leaps and bounds over any prior version of Android. 4.0 seems made for this phone and works perfectly.
4. If you get the unlocked GSM version, it works on any GSM network in the world with up to 21mbps HSPA+ speeds. I bought it overseas and popped in a $30/mo T-Mobile SIM and it works perfectly, I get speeds between 3-8mbps in the SF Bay Area, with seamless transitions between EDGE, HSPA/HSPA+. Not to mention no carrier bloatware!
5. Everything in the OS works great: Wifi hotspot, bluetooth tethering, bluetooth HID (I tried Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad), battery and bandwidth monitoring, music controls on earphones, built-in equalizer, HDMI out over MHL. I am amazed at the relative lack of bugs in the OS given how new it is.
6. The device is relatively easy to take apart (according to iFixit.com) and OEM parts are popping up on ebay, so if you break something or something stops working, you can fix it relatively easily and cheaply (except the screen, don't break that! You would have to replace the whole screen/digitizer/housing assembly)
7. Thanks to having a single worldwide GSM model, there are plenty of compatible accessories available already
8. Touch sensitivity on the screen is great. The UI 'sticks' to your finger much closer than other Android devices I've used, though still not *quite* as close as iPhone -- however the iPhone people who have used my phone don't seem to notice. In fact, this is the first Android device I've had where iPhone people don't immediately fault-find when they use it, and seem kind of thoughtful and chagrined instead
9. Battery life seems pretty good for an Android device. Not as good as an iPhone, but I can easily make it through a whole day of moderate-to-heavy use. The removable battery means you can improve the battery life with an extended battery and can replace it when it starts to give out. The OEM extended battery provides a modest boost in battery life and fits the phone's shape very nicely -- I highly recommend this upgrade unless you really like the phone's recessed back.

What's in the box?

The screen features a 5-inch (130 mm) (sometimes stated as 4.99-inch[13]) PenTile RGBG Full HD Super AMOLED screen with 441 pixels per inch; it is made of Gorilla Glass 3.[14]
The S4 comes with either 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of internal storage, which can be supplemented with up to an additional 64GB with the microSD card slot.[15]
The S4 GT-I9505 includes a multiband LTE transceiver and both models feature an infrared LED that can serve as a universal remote control.[5]
Built into the 2600 mAh battery is near field communication (NFC) connectivity, which allows users to perform non-touch payments at shops that employ specially equipped NFC cash registers. The SC-04E model has a FeliCa secure element, unlike other models which contain an NFC-A secure element. The NFC-A secure element on the SC-04E is provided on the SIM card. The battery can be wirelessly charged using a Qi standard special charging pad (sold separately) that utilizes magnetic resonance to produce a magnetic field through which power can be transferred.
The Galaxy S4 supports the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) video format.[5][6][16]
In addition to the touchscreen, the S4 has several physical user inputs including a home button located near the bottom of the screen, at the bottom of the S4 is the primary microphone and the microUSB port for both data connections and charging; it also supports USB host and MHL 2.0. There are volume keys on the left side and a power/lock key on the right. At the top there is a 0.14-inch (3.6 mm) headphone jack, the secondary microphone, and infrared blaster. The backside of the S4 has the 13 megapixel camera lens and LED flash, and at the bottom left edge has the loudspeaker.[17]
The S4 features a sensor that when the the cover is closed, it displays on a screen window that allows view-through access to alerts and status. This sensor is utilized by the Samsung official accessory, the S View Cover.

Original Question

Which items should I drop ship on Ebay?
Q. I want to sell random items from websites like AliExpress to Ebay. I have already sold some pocket knives but they are not quick sell items. I'm wondering which type of items will sell fast. Also, what are some good website where I can find items for cheap (whole sale price)? I already know about AliExpress and Amazon.

A. Quick sellers would be laptop and tablet skins, sleeves, keyboard skins, matching mice, matching ear buds, etc. I just purchased 3 laptop keyboard skins a couple of days ago (and yes.. they're being shipped from China..and will take approximately 15 days).

I wouldn't have ordinarily opted to buy an item (knowing it was going to be a much longer shipping time), that could be located locally. But the seller was really nice, responded immediately to my question, followed-up (answering about whether the skin would fit my particular laptop within 5 minutes), offered FREE shipping and I went for it. Plus, they offered "sale" prices and had interesting similar items listed on their eBay store. I'll buy from them again, too.

It's really going to depend on finding inexpensive items that everyone could use, offering FREE shipping, being really professional and following-up with potential buyers, etc.

It's going to be easier if you purchase items that aren't prone to breaking or being damaged during shipment, though. Electronics don't do well when drop-shipped from China. But accessories for electronics can survive the shipping process and everyone wants to buy a tablet/smartphone/laptop sleeve or wrap-around-skin, etc.


This is what I just bought:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/221251922732?var=520154899747&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Selling combinations of items that all match like this:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/purple-color-4-in1-Rubberized-Case-for-Macbook-PRO-13-Screen-Protectors-palmguards-Keyboard-protective/898523192.html
would work really well on eBay.

Offering options for laptop/tablet sleeves (neoprene type) would be easy to sell and everyone would likely need. If the price is right, people will buy:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hotest-10-Laptop-Carry-Sleeve-Bag-Case-For-10-1-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-Apple-iPad-4/1026300440.html

But make sure you don't sell only accessories for Macintosh because so many people have laptop and tablet PC's and want cool stuff. Limiting yourself to accessories ONLY for Mac means losing-out.
