Android for 12K - 5801/x8/Spica

[Kevin Lane]

Hi Guys,

I m in process of buying a phone. I have decided to go for Android. I have narrowed my options in this order.

1. Samsung Galaxy 3,
2. SE X8
3. SamsunGalaxy Spica

Wat I wud like to know is ,

1. Is 5801 a good enough? How much WQVGA resolution will be a problem?
2. Will X8 be better than 5801? It has better Reso, Video Recording, but lacks a few features out of the box like video playback support, swype etc.

OR Will Spica with Mods will be a better choice?( lake of FM is problem though).

Galaxy 5 is better than it

 

[Kevin Lane]

So, Guys what's the verdict?

 

[techno_guy]

Get Sipca but if you don't find when then jump to galaxy 3

 

[Kevin Lane]

What About X8?

 

[malhotraraul]

Wildfire is more expensive and has worse resolution.

not that worst, its ok ok resolution, but i would prefer wildfire above these three for Rs.15,500/-

 

[Kevin Lane]

Any news on X8?

 

[rahul..]

Galaxy 5 is better than it

The Spice Mi 300 at 10k or LG GT540 Optimus at 11k.

Will a used Legend be better choice against X8/5801?

 

[mohitgamer]

Hi Bro, I myself own a Galaxy 3 and can tell you its Wonderful, Graphics & Touch are very Good. I would recommend go for Galaxy 3...

 

[Kevin Lane]

Thanks, Mate. Is Resolution OK? Bcuz So many ppl r crapping it for Low Res.

 

[Kevin Lane]

I am deciding by evening.

Now Only options r,

1. Galaxy 3
2. Someone is selling Used Legend here for 16K. ( I am interested but only thing worries me is that nobody except me is interested, Why?)

If sumone doesn't REALLY recommend Used Legend, By evening going for Galaxy 3.

If Legend is in good condition and has more than 6 months of warranty left, I would suggest it over galaxy 3. Camera, resolution and UI in general on Legend is better. The build quality of Legend is great, while Galaxy 3 is decent. Moreover, I suppose Legend would have better resale value (in case you want to sell it later).

But if Legend is old and has blemishes on body/screen I don't think you should spend 16k on it.

Congrats mate. Please share your impressions about the same. Specifically, if the screen resolution feels like too low for normal day-to-day use.

Hey Kevin!

I am another satisfied Galaxy 3 user. Congrats on a fantastic purchase!

@dennis

The low res complaint is exaggerated and hardware-wise this phone beats X6 and the likes. I have not come across a SINGLE popular app so far that won't run on G3 coz of supposedly low resolution. It will not run 3D games, however, nor will it play HD vids, but you really can't expect that from a 12k device..For a normal day-to-day use, this smart phone is objectively the BEST available.
