Q. i don't know which one is better. i think they're both just pretty lol. i mainly want something that syncs BOTH of my music and video playlists from itunes and has an audio recorder
A. The Samsung galaxy s3 is the best smart phone of the year according to CNET. I the lg spectrum 2 is a midrange phone which has a lot less features than the samsung galaxy s3. Samsung galaxy s3 has a 1.5 ghz snapdragon s4 processor which is supper fast, and a great super amoled display, nfc, wireless charging, jelly bean os, google now, burst shot which allows you to take 20 pictures in less than 10 seconds, and panorama pictures, comes with the best browser, very lightweight, awesome touchwiz ui,an awesome battery, and smart stay which stops your device from dimming when on your using it. It is the best and most luxurious phone on the market.
The lg spectrum 2 sports a dual core processor which is pretty fast, it's bulky, doesn't have jelly bean(newest android os), has a really good battery, Has a great display but doesn't compete with the s3, wireless charging, and the camera is average. The spectrum 2 is a good midrange device.
Clearly, the winner here is the galaxy s3 because of its awesome specs and great value
BOTH DEVICES U CAN SINK YOUR I TUNES USING DOUBLE TWIST MUSIC PLAYER (it will guide you step by step) AND GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC.
HTC desire? or samsung galaxy S II? or Blackberry?
Q. Im 13 years old, and i have a crappy £50 asda phone, i don't like it, and would like a smart phone.
the HTC desire looks pretty good, but so does the galaxy S2, and also blackberry, I don't know which phone to get.
Which phone should i get, pros and cons, and also, where can i buy them, like a link online or something.
I don't want an iphone btw, no questions asked.
A. Get Samsung Galaxy S 2 :)
The Samsung Galaxy S II is the phone the Korean firm deems the successor to its best smartphone so far. And with a 1.2GHz processor, super-slim chassis and feather-light innards, it's easy to see why.
The dual-core race is set to heat up massively over the next few months, with the LG Optimus 2X already released, and the Motorola Atrix, HTC Sensation and iPhone 5 all set to bring the tech to market too.
Coming in at £35 a month and £519.99 SIM-free, the Galaxy S 2 isn't the cheapest phone out there by a long chalk â so let's see if it can match up to that larger price tag.
Our colleagues at T3.com grabbed some Samsung Galaxy S2 footage that you can watch below:
The Samsung Galaxy S2 is almost impossibly thin when you pick it up â dimensions of 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5mm mean it's one of the thinnest smartphones on the market at the moment, rivalling the likes of the iPhone 4 and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc for the title.
It's crazy-light too â when we show you what tech is rammed under the hood, you'll be amazed that it all goes in a device that weighs only a shade over 100g (116g, to be precise).
Samsung clearly traded the premium feel an all-metal chassis might have brought to keep the grams off the Galaxy S2 â pop the battery cover off and you'll find you're holding a piece of pretty flimsy plastic.
However, most of the time you won't be removing this and it fits nicely into the contoured chassis â the mesh feel on the rear also helps keep your hand from getting warm during extended holding.
The other thing you'll notice when you first pick up the Galaxy S2 is the screen â at 4.3 inches it's hard to miss, and when you turn it on the Super AMOLED plus technology hits you square in the eyeballs (once it's got through the toughened Gorilla Glass).
We called the Samsung Galaxy S "the best phone on the market for media" when we reviewed it, thanks to its first-gen Super AMOLED screen. Now the Galaxy S2 has definitely improved on that, with a superbly crisp and vibrant screen.
The only problem is a slightly schizophrenic auto-brightness - if you try and save battery by having the sensor monitor ambient light levels, then the screen decides to bounce about with light levels even in same conditions.
UPDATE: Samsung has released a fix to solve this problem already, so forget about it. Un-read what you just read. We could delete it, but that would be lying to you.
In the hand, the Galaxy S2 sits much better than we'd have expected, given the whopping screen on offer, and that's mostly down to its slim depth.
The front of the phone is pretty sparse, with the home key the only piece of furniture on offer. This rectangular button flanks two touch-sensitive buttons â Menu and Back â so there's no room for contextual search here.
The volume keys are located on the left-hand side, and the power/lock key is on the opposite flank; both are easy enough to hit without error, and crucially the travel on the power key is softer so that it's much easier to hit when you're juggling it in the palm â compare that to its predecessor, where you could accidentally drop it trying to shut off the screen.
The 3.5mm headphone jack lives on the top of the phone, bucking the lower placement on other 4.3-inch screen phones, and the microUSB slot (which also doubles as an HDMI out port) lives on the bottom.
The only other element of note is the 8.1MP camera with single LED flash on the rear â it's slightly raised, but not so much that it disrupts the Galaxy S2 when you're placing it on a table, thanks to a rear lip to help you hold the phone.
Should I purchase the new iPhone or the Galaxy Note 2?
Q. I'm getting a new phone in march and I'm not sure which to buy. Right now I have the iPhone 4. I wouldn't mind starting over with something new, but I'm not sure. I don't use my phone for gaming. I like it for things such a texting, checking my email, listening to music, and using things such as Facebook, twitter, and Instagram. I want a phone that has a lot of space because my iPhone only has 8gb and I've used up most of it. What phone would you recommend I buy?
A. Buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 because
1.It is cheaper(this depends on where you live)
2.It is quicker (1.6 quad core processor vs a dual core processor
3.Microsd- you can expand the memory with a 64gb microsd. This a cheaper way to expand your memory and you can have a 16 gb note 2 and still have more storage than iphone 5 if you get a 64gb microsd.,
4.USB OTG- you can read usb keys no problem with an adapter so you can check out whats on them so you don't have to put your computer on.
5.Microusb charger- Better than the lighting connector as you can get them easily and cheaply but also you might have it from other devices as it is becoming standard for smartphones to use microusbh chargers.
6.Removable battery- This means you can replace the battery if you run out of charge when you are around unlike the iphone 5 which you have to charge or bring an external charger and charge it from there, however this is an akward way of charging your phone. Also the removable battery can help you prevent water damage as you can remove the battery if it falls in water, thus reducing the chances of water damage.
7.NFC- Want to transfer a music album quicker than bluetooth, well now you can with NFC. Yopu can also use Tectiles to make your life easier(check out this site to learn more about them http://www.samsung.com/us/microsite/tectile/ )
8. Customizable- Change launcher(Are you bored, get a new launcher that suits you and your personality), custom ROM your phone and have access to apps specifically made for rooted devices directly on the play store. You control the device so that it suits you.
9. Dropbox- Love cloud storage well Samsung is offering 50gb free of charge to Note 2 owners for 2 years on Dropbox. Backup music, video, photos(this can be done automatically), documents etc. Who doesnât want this amount of free cloud storage?(You have to complete a certain amount of steps to get the free storage but none requires any credit card details or anything to complicated) (N.B Not everyone will be offered this bonus as carriers have own to have stopped Samsung from offering this to customers).
10.Screen- It is amazing and enourmous(yes this is an advantage). Yes it has less ppi(267ppi Note 2 vs 326ppi iphone 5) however if you compare it to the ipads ppi(264 ppi) which everyone says is amazing you understand than you barely see the difference in ppi, butt you can see the difference in colours as the amoled display is has amazing colours. The big screen is also an advantage as it as you can do so much more with it, multitask for example, I wrote this whole review using my Note 2 with a keboard and mouse connected via usb which shows that the screen is big enough to work on no problem unlike the iphone5s screen. I also found no problems when using one hand, and I have medium hands if not small hands, If you are going to type Samsung included a feature that allows you to make the keyboard smaller so you can use one hand without a problem.
11. LED indicator- A small LED onh the top of your device shows what notifications you got by distinguishing them with colours(For example blue for email, green for charged) This means you can see what the notification was about without putting your screen on. It is extremely useful feature for those than hate wasting time.
12. Android features-Widgets, live wallpapers, Google Now and all the beauty of android.
13. Samsung added features-
A.Smartstay- won't turn thye screen off if you are still looking at it,
B. Lock screen apps- launch apps directly from your lock screen so once you have unlocked your phone it launches the app directly.
C. Multitasking- watch videos while online, write an email while watching a video, send a message while surfing the web, you can split the screen in two so you can multitask without a bother.
D.Notification bar- Better notification bar then the iphones as you can toggle your setting without lauchiung the settings app.
E. Etc- I could go on for days but you get the idea.
14.S-pen -adds functionality to your phone, write handwritten notes, sign pdfs, make a work of art, its all possible with the s-pen which is miles more advanced than any stylus for the iphone. There are so many features on the Note 2 based on the use on the s-pen all for you to find out, check Samsungs Youtube channel to dicover more or follow them on Google + to find out mopre features based on the use of the s-pen.
15. Durability- The Note 2 does not suffer from scratches like the iphone 5 where the back of the phone is aluminium and scratches really easy, the Note 2 does not suffer this fate.
