Desire S vs Galaxy SII, which is better? What do you guys think? Galaxy SII does have the fastest GPU and processor(1.2Ghz cortex) in the industry.

desiibond · 09-04-2011, 01:16 PM

Galaxy S II is much better than Desire S IMO.

Tenida · 09-04-2011, 03:09 PM

When Samsung Galaxy S II will launch in India?

chintan786 · 09-04-2011, 03:11 PM

there is no comparison between SG II and desire S... and SG II is not going to price as low as 23k

Only if you dig android, but hardware wise N8 is better.

NainO · 10-04-2011, 07:19 PM

^^^ Other than 12 MP cam, what advantages does Nokia N8 has over HTC Desire S???

HTC Incredible S vs. Nokia N8 – Review

Not much, the camera and battery life takes the cake.

NainO · 10-04-2011, 07:35 PM

It's Desire S, not Incredible S

Here's one reliable source -
HTC Desire S vs Nokia N8 - GSMArena.com
- according to GSMArena Desire S has better stand-by time than N8.

I would like to share my ideas, I've Samsung Spica which have 1500mAh battery which runs for 9+ hrs after my extending usage so any smartphone with that battery will do best, in that HTC Desire S leads.
Secondly the RAM and Processor plays a vital role my phone is 800mhz, 128mb RAM, I feel slow and not up to the mark on gaming particularly, apart from that its good.
Camera: Anyone who like photography will be interested in more megapixel Nokia leads.
OS:One of the most important one, since Android is from a big hand I personally like Android mobiles.
The Edge and GPRS are tweaked to the maximum in HTC whereas Nokia in class 33.
HSDPA and HSUPA are also tweaked high in HTC which stands second to Samsung Galaxy S II.
Last: Thickness and weight are less in HTC.
On my choice I would buy HTC.
Good hardware and good OS.
Camera and bluetooth are good in N8 compared to Desire S.
Have anyone come across Motorola Atrix? Launched in India but price yet to reveal.

reddead · 10-04-2011, 11:20 PM

ithehappy · 10-04-2011, 11:33 PM

reddead · 10-04-2011, 11:55 PM

mavihs · 11-04-2011, 12:15 AM

Only the camera part is true, bluetooth part is actually misconception among most of us.
Lemme say this (again!) - bluetooth 3 has no practical advantage over bluetooth 2.1, unless it is bluetooth 3 + HS

BTW, if "Motorola Atrix at 27k or less" comes true, it's recommended over LG Optimus 2X.

silicon_fusion · 14-04-2011, 01:57 PM

Bad news for Desire S user.HTC Sense 3.0 won’t be supported on older HTC devices including newly Desire S and Incrediable S.

^ WTF! :O
The biggest advantage Desire S had over SE neo was its Sense 3.0.
Atleast that is what attracted me.
For me User Interface is of the highest priority among other features in a phone.
Now I'll definitely go for SE Neo.

silicon_fusion · 15-04-2011, 11:16 PM

ur rite v_joy..This is really a disappointing news.

No matter what the specs say, almost all android Phones last ~8-9hrs max, if you switch off background data, GPS etc then you can extract an hour or more.
But seriously having an Android Phone and switching off data is like buying an Aston Martin and keeping it at home worrying about low mileage

Even I had a Spica before and I feel it lasts longer than my Desire.

Hardware alone is not a deciding factor for performance, N8 is optimized for S^3 and runs perfectly fine without any lags and benchmarks in games were also good and Nokia has perfected basic mobile phone functionalities, so it can't go wrong on that front. That said, Symbian is a mummified OS, So I prefer an Android anyday.

You can never go wrong with a HTC Device, given the strong Developers base it has. You have loads of custom ROM's to play with.

And speaking of Sense 3.0, already beta ROM's are floating, so no worries on that front too
