Why is that? You can still root your phone can you?

Yer the new Nexus by Samsung,
1.2ghz Dual Core, with a 1GB ram,
5MP camera

Same Specs as my Galaxy S2, Part from mine has a 8MP Camera,

The only real difference is Icecream (The new Android OS) Was developed just for this phone.


The Screens Almon (I think there called) Are amazing!!! There not your normal Screen on phones.
It only powers and displays parts it needs to.

For an example, if you had a screen saver with a Tiny image moving around, and the rest of it black.
The Screen is Off apart from where the Image is...... Does that make sense, like LED display.

But the quality on the screen is better than my Iphone 4 Retina display.

Depends what your after mate,
I walk around with the Iphone and Android Phone,

At the moment i am enjoying my Galaxy S II, More than the Iphone 4, In comparision to speed and resonsivness they are both on Bar,
in regards to how clear the Screen is the Galaxy Over comes it.

But the Iphone 4 has a better App selection, (Because its been around much longer)
Games are alot better and Sharper,

Android is picking up, but still not in comparison.

Iphone 4, Battery life aint all it seems too btw,
Day to Day use, your lucky to get a full day out of it, Depends on how much of a heavy user you are.


You cannot really compair the Android and IOS, two Majorly different systems, Depends on the user.
Head to the shop and have a play with them and see what you think.

In regards to Battery life, Well am impressed with my phone,
Last night i attempted to do a full Battery Drain down for a Calibration tool,
From 30% it took it for me to leave GPS, Bluetooh, Wifi, Display on 100% brightness,
Movie left on in the back ground, seen a hour movie play,
Put some Games on and then downloaded some movies,
Took about 2 - 3 hours to drain killing it like that.

Normal usage out this phone on the ROM am on can prob easy do two days.

Some phones are moving forwards, some phones are still left behind.
