Final call - Samsung Galaxy S Advance OR HTC One V?

[bluevolt]

Guys I have to make final decision so please tell me the pros and cons of both phones.

I can see no no front cam/dual core in one v but same is present in galaxy advance s but the former comes with android 4.0 whereas the latter one is still shipped with old version - is it up-gradable?

What is the best price of both phones?

Advance without a doubt.

but someone told me that it is not getting ICS update in near future?

root it and get on with it. Dual core is more future proof.

Yes no ICS for Advance. Forget Jellybean and beyond. One V is on ICS, won't get Jellybean though. But overall Advance > One V. So if you are okay with Gingerbread for life, get Advance.

root it and get on with it. Dual core is more future proof.

Custom ROM support is non existent. Rooting won't magically bring ICS to his phone.

@ OP - Why not the Atrix 2?

Motorola not preferred brand!

Then get Sony Xperia Sola or P.

Advance stuck at GB and One V will be stuck at ICS.

Sola and P will get AT LEAST Jellybean. But most likely even keylime pie.

I have an HTC one V so there are a few things I can tell you. The phone is a delight to use and sufficiently responsive. It is a single core but I find it good enough. The screen is good and the camera is just awesome. The only downside is that HTC has a terrible service. My phone came with the network problem that a lot of HTC One V have and it took them 21 days to give me a replacement phone. I had to email everywhere to get my replacement acknowledgement and extended warranty. They take at least 3-4 weeks to address a problem for everyone and not just me.

Xperia Sola is good only issue is that most people are not satisfied with 1320 mah battery, back up is too low.

Get a portable charger to solve the battery issue. But to be frank it will easily last you through a day. A member on this forum recently bought the Sola and he is reporting 1.5 days of moderate usage.
