Hahaha..

But i guess this is gonna play a part as well if 3G signal isnt that strong..


Still waiting for telco news...

wah the battery life review looks disappointing..

been waiting for this and it seems pretty bad.. web browsing only 3 hrs+

Samsung Galaxy Nexus battery life fully tested, results come out disappointing [TEST]

wah this is disappointing leh

 

[sTiCkY]

hope they give bill for the day :x

yeah the batt life for websurfing is disappointing... i use my phone mainly for websurfing and email due to the nature of my job.. but at least can change battery...

Looks like if u like bright/white images/sites, stay away from AMOLED screens.

On the other hand....I wonder if the battery life figures would be any different if they used the black css hack with Opera Mobile. At least it would let us know if it's really the white pixels killing the battery.

Hey guys, any of you have used the SGS2 or note vs Nexus? Any feedback which you prefer?

Of course i'm not talking about specs, just usability.

Cause I considering between the 3 when i'm recontracting soon. Really quite undecided though. But I would want to make the best informed decision.

Thanks for any feedback!

if you like big screen, go for the note
between the 3, i prefer the other 2 as note is too big for my liking
i cannot comment on nexus since i have not used it before.

owned the S2 and nw the gnexus, tried the note out at the shops. Perosnally all are good specs wise but gnex edges it for me as ICS is really really good.(However if ur budget a little tight SGS2 is no slouch as well)Galaxy note is too huge imho even though i have big hands i struggle to use/grip it one handed

how's the battery life for nexus?

 

[blitzio]

So just a couple of more weeks and this should be officially launched by Singtel or the others right?

Thanks for your feedback! I know reviews have been saying the ICS OS is really slick, but the update is coming for note and SGS2 as well so I guess all will be on the same OS. Plus the nexus doesn't have an expandable memory slot, which is quite a deal breaker.

I do feel the nexus is a real beauty though. Thanks!

Happy new year!

Hey Colin, since you have used the SGS2, note and Nexus, is it safe to assume you prefer the nexus among the 3? Any feedback why? Cause I considering between the 3 when i'm recontracting soon. Really quite undecided though. But I would want to make the best informed decision.

Thanks for any feedback!

For the 3 phones' comparisons below, the assumption used is that all the phones are not rooted or using custom ROMs.

SGS2 - Nice form factor (slim); specs are good and current; batt life good (compared to the other 2); tons of accessories to bling your phone; screen's resolution lose out to the other 2 (only noticeable if you look very closely); lags (unless using custome ROMs).

Note - Big screen (unbeatable for web browsing & media playback); batt can last whole day for me; Screen is HD-ready at 1280x800; lags; awkward when answering calls (negated by the use of BT earpiece); some apps not optimised for the screen.

Nexus - smoothest & virtually lag-free OS I have ever used for an android device (even when using 3rd party launcher such as ADW Ex). IMO the smoothness can rival the fruity phone; Screen is HD-ready at 720p; Batt life sucks (can only last me 3 quarter of the day); Runs hot compared to the other 2 if used continuously for 20 mins(near the camera module); Some apps not optimised for ICS yet; no micro-sd expansion.

You shld also bear in mind that SGS2 & Note are scheduled to receive the ICS update. But Sg Samsung is not exactly known to be fast in this dept.

Does the 2000 mah extended battery helps improve battery life alot?

Anyone tried the official extended battery yet?
