Ok guys.. We have a new set of phones out there. What are the benefits? Which do you prefer? Which offers the better Go related material? What else should be added to this? |

I got Samsung's Galaxy S II "already" - it's available for quite some time now - and I like it very much. I compared it to the iPhone4 back then and couldn't find anything, Apples iPhone does better than the S II. Primarily the S II is cheaper and has better hardware. Go related, I like the S II because it has a bigger screen and there is a KGS client on android. (All I need is a credit card : ) ). And no, smart kifu is not an option for me. The screen is not that big to have fun reading books. |

It seems like Samsung may be a bit slow to push OS updates (relative to other Android OEMs), though it does seem to have gotten all the major (i.e. 2.n) updates to its devices. But that's just based on a bit of Googling, I can't really keep up with this weeks next best Android device. |

I like Android overall so no question. I'm just sad that there's no keyboard option on Sprint with Galaxy S II hardware. I'm debating getting the Galaxy S II or waiting for a keyboard option. I think there's plenty of Go options available. The only thing I miss is the Nihon Kiin magazine. |

Raw specs can be found here. As for myself, I'll be holding out for the Nexus Prime. |

It looks good so far, my main worry is in the price.But iPhone 4s vs. Galaxy S II, they look pretty comparable to me other than the bigger screen in the S II. I also really like the look of Samsung OLED screens, so I would pick the S II first (even if it weren't for KGS, of course!) |

Just got the Galaxy Nexus, so happy ^__^. Aside from the KGS app which I already got, what Go apps would others recommend? (It's my first Android phone) |

I got my Galaxy Nexus a couple days ago. And I can recommend you *NOT* get too uptight about KGS just yet. The galaxy nexus has a higher pixel density than any other phone that came before (it is "xhdpi", or approximately 320dpi, while before the highest was "hdpi" or approximately 240dpi), so a lot of the graphics are too small and leave weird empty space between them. In addition the nexus does something strange with lists that make the client crash when pressing "back" from a game. I've fixed the crash bug, and soon will tweak the graphics, so expect a new KGS release for the Galaxy Nexus within a week. Until then, I apologize for how broken it is. |

(It's my first Android phone) Free: GoGrinder for problems Fuji Goban is great for reviewing with no comments Gobandroid is best for reviewing games that have comments (I just like Fuji's appearance a bit better) KGS of course Tetsuki beta for IGS CyberOro and Yugen no Ma exist if you change the country codes. I still need to play with that. Pay: Yoo Changhyuk's life and death. Probably most are too easy for you, but I still use this sometimes. |
