Droid X vs Samsung Galaxy S

[Wolfedude88]

I will stick with the X, a couple reasons why. First I think the Samsung phone is a uglyier version on the iphone, I really just don't like the looks. As far as I am concerned the specs are about the same. I like the X in looks and it has a bigger screen, which I really want.

i'm honestly on the fence now. i need to see these phones in person now i think in order for me to decide. they both look very promising and my upgrade is 7/20, so more than likely i'll pull the trigger on the X since i'd dying to loose by BB Bold and get on the Android train.

Wanna know how similar the specs are concerning the OMAP and the Hummingbird?

OMAP uses the PowerVR 530 gpu....Hummingbird uses the PowerVR 540 gpu..

lol

The OMAP's cpu is better tho, just looking at Quadrant. These 2 could easily flip flop back n forth as being the best chip out in an Android phone right now.

Samsung...yuck...horrible with their updates and their phones feel like cheap plastic toys. Friend has the Moment and when I hold it and my Droid at the same time the weight feels close. Then I realize that the Moment feels like something id buy at the dollar store for my son to play with.

Does the droid x also have the pentile matrix screen that the galaxy s has?

Yeah but the 535 is twice as fast as the 530 the 540 is over 4 times fasterthen the 530

Yea I know, its a better gpu. Too bad Motorola wont be using it til their dual core phone.

I expect gaming to be better on the Galaxy s. And anything else that would use the gpu.

I read the Sprint version will have the front facing camera. I wonder why Verizon is getting the version without the FF camera?

Because its going to be 4G and sprint supports video calls(EVO 4G)
Unfortunately we(VZW) dont yet..

It may be a pretty powerful handset but the whole phone and its "skin" is a total iphone 3g/3gs rip off so bad its embarrassing, This is why you will never see this with a "droid" label on it.

Here is a couple of video comparisons of the droid x 720p versus the samsung galaxy s 720p video recording. I can't help but feel that the Galaxy s records more sharp in light environments. In the dark, it seems like the droid x wins.

Id rather have better capabilities in the dark there are always those times at night when something funny happens or something you want to record i want to know the phone can do a good job with it.

hehe the fascinate 3gs

the designer of this phone should be (enter violent verb)

 

[ckochinsky125]

yeah idk samsung phones over the years have been very cheap feeling and i think i made the right decision by ordering the X im sure others will like it though

Samsung has decided to use Bing so that phone is a no go for me.

 

[Deleted User]

Bing, no thanks. Moto and many accessories, yes!

A friend of mines Dad works for Samsung and he just gave my buddy the Galaxy S for tmobile, I've got to say the screen on it is amazing! I'm no fan of Samsung phones and have a pretty bad taste left in my mouth from the whole Inc debacle, but Wow, the colors just pop on that thing. Is anyone here considering getting the Fascinate? In my opinion there are 2 major drawbacks, but 1 of them can be taken care of pretty easily and 1 can't. For starters, it is a Samsung product, thats almost enough for me to not even think about getting it. Another drawback is the UI is horrible, it is so cartoony, it looks like a little kid phone, but that can be taken care of by some devs just throwing vanilla Android on it, combine that with the Hummingbird processor, it could be a great phone.

I've heard that the Fascinate is going to be completely open and unlocked, does anyone know if Verizon will leave it that way?

 

[Exiled]

Had a Samsung phone a while back (the Glyde)....worst touch screen ever. It was honestly such a bad experience I will NEVER buy a Samsung phone ever again. Ever. In my life.

Oh my god I know!!! I still use mine. Been stuck with it for about 2.5 years. Cant wait to ditch this thing for the X!

I will absolutely keep an open mind about the Fascinate. If the call quality is good and there aren't any major hardware issues I could see myself biting on this over the DX simply b/c of the signed boot loader debacle: http://androidforums.com/motorola-d...ootloader-flashing-roms-abandon-all-hope.html

I think most of us are expecting the Fascinate to have an unsigned boot loader. I also am assuming that the work with the Galaxy S will make for a quick rooting of the Fascinate and custom ROMs will soon follow. If this is the case, it really doesn't matter how crappy Samsung has made their modded version of Android.

My thoughts exactly. I am not due for an upgrade till the end of this month anyway so I am just going to hold off on the X and see how the Fascinate compares when it comes out.
