1292658 2012-08-04 00:14:00 Ok, I'm asking this an behalf of a friend, which is why I'm not dredging up my buying a smartphone thread, thought it was time to let that one die. Anyway, my friend has a Huawei idoes u8150, as was looking to upgrade. He was looking at either a htc one s, a sony xperia p, or a galaxy nexus. Anyway, what he was wondering about was the screen quality and battery life. The nexus has a higher ppi, but is pentile. The one s has a lower ppi, but is not pentile. And, the xperia p has an extra white subpixel.

So, what he was wondering, is, forgetting about the screen size, what screen will look the best. I told him probably the galaxy nexus, but he's read the one s is pretty good.

And lastly, what have any users found the battery life on any of these to be, and which one of those would you recommend he gets?

1292659 2012-08-04 02:01:00 Galaxy Nexus! Instant updates to latest software - running Jellybean, and it's smoother than nearly all Android phones out there. Stock Android is also a plus, compared to the bloated Sense UI HTC puts on their phones. sahilcc7 (15483)

Yes, that is what I thought. I mean, the experia p?? and then the one s has no nfc. But, I was still told to ask :rolleyes:

Well, yes. I know that, but he....is still learning
Edit. He's concerned about battery life, part of the reason he's looking at the one s. What did you find when you had the galaxy nexus Chill?

1292663 2012-08-04 05:23:00 Yeah was fine. Don't have the screen on max brightness and it does nicely. Chilling_Silence (9)

Ok, thanks. I'll pass that on. He was thinking of the one s, but was put off by the pentile and lack of nfc. Maybe the nexus will tempt him :D

1292665 2012-08-04 09:56:00 If worried about battery consider upgrading to a higher capacity battery, not that expensive.

Galaxy Nexus is the No 1 choice hands down, hardware is good, price is good, support is amazing for custom ROM's and the stock ROM is awesome.

Just updated my S2 to JB over ICS and it's amazing. Idk if it's my mind playing tricks, ICS was smooth (never any lag unless loading a big folder/list for the first time) but JB seams insanely fluid. I love it! My next phone will be from the nexus lineup.

Thanks,I'll pass that on. Don't think he's the type to upgrade a battery, so should be all good.
