I would say the One S easily trumps the GS2 in pretty much every category unless you know you need more than 16GB of RAM and trumps the Nexus in almost everything except display quality and software...

I will be a first time Android owner on T-Mobile. I am able to get either the Galaxy Nexus (i9250) or the S II (sgh-t989) for free, but can't make up my mind because of the following pros and cons:

Note though the Galaxy S2 variants (e.g. the i9100G) featuring OMAP/PowerVR CPUs/GPUs feature them at lower clock speeds than they would be on the Galaxy Nexus making the comparison unfair. More...

I'd definitely say go for the SII, or even the SIII if you want to upgrade ... Nexus is too slow.

Thanks. It turns out that the HTC One S is also an option available to me. I'm not really feeling that phone though. A few of the same issues as the Nexus (no microSD, pentile screen), plus it's not...

Whoops..my mistake on calling the One S a 21mbps phone. I totally did not mean that haha. Your last paragraph is right on the money for me. Now all I have to do is locate working floor models of all...

I had considered the whole pentile vs. non-pentile issue (especially after looking at this), but after you pointed out the PPIs, I figured that at 316 PPI, on a SAMOLED HD screen, it probably doesn't...

Thanks. This S II x has the APQ8060 Snapdragon, and the GSMArena review wasn't 100% sure if S II i9000 variant's OMAP was better than this Snapdragon. For sure this is not an Exynos though.

Heh, sorry about that. In my opinion, the screen is noticeably better on the Galaxy S3/Nexus (they use the same display). Regardless of the layout, the S2's SAMOLED+ display only has 41.7% of the...

I think I'll eliminate the One S as a choice for now, given that I feel it's more or less equivalent to the Nexus per my main needs (no microSD, 21mbps HSPA+). Your display quality comment pretty...

Huh? As I already stated, the T-Mobile HTC One S features HSPA+ supporting 42 Mbps. Furthermore, I forgot to mention the T-Mobile HTC One S does feature Corning's Gorilla Glass.
