Why not Nexus S?

nixhead · 30-05-2011, 09:28 AM

I have a budget of 23-25K.
I have to buy a phone within a month.
I have read in various posts people saying Nexus S is not a good choice in this category.
Please mention and justify your reasons here.

yes. the newer phones are better than Nexus S. The only +ve that N:S has is that it run vanilla android and will always be the first one to get android updates. But, now that manufacturers have signed a pact with Google that they will update their h/w to the latest in specific period of time, N:S's advantage is only partial.

1. SE Xperia Arc (around 28k)
2. HTC Desire S (23k)
3. Samsung Galaxy S II (to retail at 29k by 10th of June).

You may also look for the LG Optimus 2x but as of now it only has plain Froyo

HTC Incredible is best buy

Is latest OS support only positive point with NEXUS S at the moment?
I can compromise with Camera as its not prime requirement for me in cam.

Incredible S is the best in that budget,it costs 26-26.5K or can have Desire S for 3K less.
Or if u can increase ur budget then go for Samsung Galaxy SII

Samsung Galaxy S vs HTC desire HD
Budget- 23k upper limit
Please suggest from the 2 or any other phone.

Yesterday I checked at a electronics store called Jumbo which is offering Nexus S with SuperAMOLED screen for 26K

Definitely SGS but at 23k, I would pick D:S over these two.

I think you should get an AMOLED screen phone for android is a battery sipping OS.
I have experience with just one android device which is in my siggy.

Isnt it better to wait for dual core procs now since they are more efficient and future apps are most likey to be multi threaded. If dual core becomes the norm.

I was going through my daily dose of android news when this thing caught my attention. Both letsbuy and flipkart have knowcked a healthy 4 grands from the retail price.

the result? A realistic 22K for a pure Google experience. This makes it a good buy. What say fellas???

After your opinions for better dual core deal I have decided to wait a lil more like another month. But the same question which one should I go for in dual core phones?
