Samsung Galaxy S2, S3 and S3 Mini

[jims-terrano]

Has anyone had any of these phones to compare against one another. I had the S2 and it was great!!!! stuck with an Iphone at mo and it's POO!!! compared to the S2. Virgin have a cracking deal with S3 Mini, £19 a month with an extra 1000 minutes. How does it compare with it's big brothers. Have seen the Galaxy Ace but it seems a bit lame compared with S2 to me and screen too small.

I'm slumming it with an HTC Wildfire I'm afraid. So can't help, sorry :augie

 

[clivvy]

Yeah we have them at work and at clients.

Forget the ACE.

The S3 is big, but the screen is something else. Other than that and obviously the hardware upgrades, its the same as the S2...the same old. Dull.

S4 next week ish :sly can't wait :clap

 

[jims-terrano]

Ahh forgot to ask about that. My theory being that the other two will drop in price when the S4 comes out. Theory doesn't work though, stillw aiting for the S2 to come down after the S3 came out last year:doh:doh:doh

Virgin do the S2 and S2 at £24 a month but the S3 is £49.95 upfront cost.

Yeh there's going to be some big old up front on the S4 too :doh
At least I can haggle well :sly
Probably have some bother avoiding G4 though

Get the S2, I have the s3 mini although it's perfectly good it's smooth shapes make it a phone that slips out of the hand easily.

But other than that they are the same. You can expect to pay more for the s2 as it's more in demand and supply is less.

 

[jims-terrano]

Yeah I've still got the water proof case for the S2 but trying not to let that make my decision. Think I'll wait before jumping in as the S4 may well bring prices down.

We both have the Samsung Galaxy Ace2, and it is our first smart phone. We love it. Must admit we wanted something small enough to fit in our pocket.

Most of the Iphone stalwarts at work have gone Samsung. One lad who had an S3 has gone back to an S2 like mine. I think that Samsung make a much better all round phone.

Alot of people dont get on with 3 but where I live it has better signal than any other network hence y ive been with them for 6 years the mother had had three since thwy come out :lol
They were pants back then but not had a problem

 

[makeitfit]

I cant afford not to have signal. I work all over and signal is king
Trouble is I have to pay through the nose for it

 

[Fez_uk]

Whats best for signal pete where you are pete?

T-mobile/orange here.

 

[makeitfit]

Orange here too I've got a cheap vodaphone sim as well but no longer find anywhere where orange is beaten by anything else , damn it :doh

 

[Fez_uk]

try t-mobile, they now are the same company as orange and also share the same cell towers. So if you can get orange signal you will get t-mobile signal.

And Virgin use Virgin as well as T-mobile and Orange so you get best of 3 worlds.

Me and mrs had every iPhone to date, played on galaxy's and tbh THEY ARE SHITE

[makeitfit]

Android apps free anyway. My son has been borrowing an I5 and has given it back :lol S3 spec is higher than apple and the S4 is just streets ahead end of, just spec it and see.
I know apple types are convinced they're always right so I'm not here to sway you. I do like the free world options always over I spy whatever so there.
Oh and did I mention battery life :lol
Even the uk spec S4 has 1.9 ghz quad core processor . 13 , count them, mega pixel camera :clap Iphone only just manage to stick a few snaps together to make a flicker video :lol
