| 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? |

But, I was still told to ask :rolleyes: |

| 1292662 | 2012-08-04 02:22:00 | Galaxy Nexus. Skip the others ;) 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) | ||
| 1292664 | 2012-08-04 05:35:00 | Yeah was fine. Don't have the screen on max brightness and it does nicely. 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. |

| 1292666 | 2012-08-04 10:05:00 | Just be careful when upgrading batteries on Samsung phones with NFC, as the chip is embedded in the battery so only genuine will do if you want to keep NFC | plod (107) | ||
