Samsung Galaxy S2

[hater]

anybody got one of these yet? I am pretty much set on jumping from Iphone to this. I got the 3g and it's been ok, but sick of Apple's lock down policy, their new OS slowed down my phone to a halt, no flash, etc.

when is this thing being released in the US?

[cheguevara]

I just ordered this phone from Amazon. Unlocked but no warranty??

oh well. we'll see what happens....

[cheguevara]

when is this thing being released in the US?

July, August, September... who the hell knows... Plus once it's released it will be sold out in the first few days so there'll be a wait list. Not to mention ATT will put their proprietary garbage and locks on it.

Any reason this dude is hanging on the edge of a cliff while he talks you through things?

I'm going with the Evo 3D in about a week myself.

[MannyIsGod]

Samsung sent Cyanogen developers some free phones to get the mod up and running quickly. Holy crap Samsung just earned a lot of points in my book.

[MI21]

I have this phone and it fucks up everything else I've ever used.

[cheguevara]

damn Motorola Atrix is $50 in Amazon!

$700 vs. $50 I might have to cancel my Galaxy S2 order :(

[Drachen]

it is 599.99 without contract, Che.

[MannyIsGod]

Haven't there been a fairly large amount of problems with the Atrix?

[cheguevara]

it is 599.99 without contract, Che.

right. But I would not mind a contract. Especially if the phone is $50 to start with. I could always pay $200 termination 1 year from now.

And no. I been researching and not many issues with Atrix. Only complaint is the MotoBlur, but that can be disabled.

right, but it is unfair to compare an off contract price (sgs2 - 700) with a contract price (atrix - 50)

[MannyIsGod]

I think I'm going to get a new phone in and around August but I think I'll buy used because I don't want to hassle with a contract ATTM. I would love an S2 but really I think its just going to be overkill. I surf, tweet, text, and email on my phone. Otherwise the only other apps I use are GPS related.

I honestly wouldn't mind a Nexus S either.

:lol Yeah no. Its the equivalent of my moment without the keyboard! I would probably just keep my Moment longer if not for the GPS being terrible.

[symple19]

badass phone

[cheguevara]

canceled my $705 galaxy s2 order and went with the $50 Atrix.

About the only time ever that Australia has gotten technology before the US. It really is an amazing phone, I'm no fanboy, but this shits on the current iPhone range.

[MannyIsGod]

Sprint is getting their version this week I think. I don't have an upgrade until Jan but I am going to see if they'll move it up for me.

[Drachen]

my upgrade was in january and they moved it up to july first.

[TDMVPDPOY]

this or the samsung note...watever its called

yeah I think they will do it.

[resistanze]

Hopefully the S2 LTE version will be out in October here in Canada, as they're rolling out the LTE network on Sept 28th. I really need a new phone, my 3GS i recently lost was a POS that battery died randomly. I'm currently borrowing a pretty new BB Storm 2 that somehow, has the exact same fucking problem.

I'll be bummed if the S2 LTE comes in November as I might be impatient and have to settle for an iPhone 5.

With Virgin and Bell, I think

Bell doesn'T have the best reception; I have a couple of friends who are with Bell and are switching to Fido/Rogers

As for Virgin mobile, I don't know


But get it unlocked, and blabla, you know the drill :D

Yeah the current Galaxy S2 (dual core 1.2 Ghz, 4.3" screen, 3G, etc.) is for Bell and Virgin. But the Galaxy S2 LTE (dual core 1.5 Ghz, 4.5", 4G) is coming out soon for Rogers. :hungry:

Personally, I don't think there's going to be a big enough difference between the 4 and 5 to warrant spending more money because you still have 1 year left on your contract. iOS 5 should probably make the 4 a close aproximation of the 5.

But if you're tired of Apple, then I'd wait for the Galaxy S II. Looks so fucking nice.

[MannyIsGod]

They come out with a new one each year.

[resistanze]

I had the original iPhone, skipped the 3G, got the 3GS, skipped the 4. Annual updates seem so unnecessary for me, even though I have friends that have gotten every iteration of the iPhone and iPad.

I just really can't wait more than a month more for a phone though, so I hope the S2 comes out soon. I can't even access data on this replacement BB I've been using. If my monthly plan wasn't so cheap, I'd be going apeshit.

Naah, I don't want to buy the IP 5 anyway; IP 4 is good enough in my book.

And as you said, IOS 5 will make it even better

By the way, I have 2 years left on y contract (damn Canadian providers :flipoff)

But yeah, Galaxy looks nice

There is a world of difference between 3GS and 4

[resistanze]

There is a world of difference between 3GS and 4

Between the 3G and 4, I'd say a world of difference. 3GS? A good improvement but I never saw myself needing to upgrade (know at least 5 people with iPhone 4). Most new apps or features (e.g. multitasking) was capable with both 3GS and 4, but not anything below. Nevertheless, having a 3Gs still will make me appreciate my next phone even more (hurry up October).

[Frenzy]

my upgrade was in january and they moved it up to july first.

Just ask or is there some secret stone cutters word? Mine is in July :lol

No mason's handshake, just ask (and ask and ask and ask and ask) until they give it to you. Don't talk to customer care (they know nothing) talk to account services. I didn't threaten to cancel, I simply asked if they could run the numbers and let me know how much it would be to buy out of my contract.
It really all depends who you get.

Samsung Galaxy S II makes its AT&T debut October 2nd for $199 on contract

You've endured almost a year's worth of Galaxy S II teasing (http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/28/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/), so what's a few more weeks? AT&T's swiftly sped past its "coming soon" announcement (http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/11/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-coming-soon-to-atandt-sign-up-page-goes-liv/) for Sammy's heralded handset (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/30/galaxy-s-ii-for-sprint-atandt-and-t-mobile-hands-on/), now giving us a firm release date of October 2nd for its NFC-enabled variant (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/31/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-logs-confirm-nfc-support-for-atandt-none-for/). You can snag the 4.3-incher when it hits the carrier for $199.99 on a two-year contract, and choose from the usual array of data packages -- with $15/mo being the minimum required. Make sure to enter your deets at the source link below so you'll be first in line for this sure-fire, sell-out device.

There was supposed to be a 32 GB version (as listed on official website) but none has been released to date. Anyways, I hear many carriers throw in a 8 GB microSD card. I know you can pick up a 16 GB microSD card here for $20-25.

then buy sd card max it can handle

more porn to store on it

regarding the LTE version with improve specs, has battery life improven or its still the same one use in the s2?

[resistanze]

You can always splurge for a 64 GB card for all your fapping-on-the-go needs.

The LTE has a 1850 mAh battery compared to the 1650 mAh of the regular S2. Whether that translates to more life, we'll see.

We know that Samsung’s Galaxy S2 is doing gangbusters at the moment, having sold more than 10 million units worldwide with no signs of stopping, but those living in South Korea are already treated to something better – the LTE-enabled versions of the Samsung Galaxy S2 and Galaxy S2 HD. Yes sir, this is South Korea’s first LTE 4G LTE smartphones, running on a dual-core 1.5GHz processor with a Super AMOLED Plus display that is huge at 4.5″, not to mention having the latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system running underneath the hood (there’s a leaked Android 2.3.5 version which we don’t recommend you try out).

Samsung claims this will be 5 times faster compared to current 3G LTE support in that part of the world, but until we get real life performance figures, we’ll take what they claim with a pinch of salt. Other hardware specifications include an 8-megapixel camera, Full HD video playback, TV out, Mobile High Definition Link, 16GB of internal memory, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity, NFC support and a rather beefy 1,850mAh battery.

How about Samsung also holding the distinction of rolling out the first HD Super AMOLED display on their smartphone? You get 1,280 x 720 resolution display which will definitely provide eye-popping visuals. Now to see if the latter will arrive Stateside or not…[Press Release (Korean)]

So, does anybody have this phone? If so, is it Sprint's or AT&T's? How is it? How's battery life? Yada.

[resistanze]

I know I'm still waiting for my fucking asshole provider to give me a release date for the S2 LTE. I'll have to re-up my contract to use my hardware upgrade, but I'm not paying a penny more than I do now. If they don't agree, I'll buy an unlocked S2 and jump providers when my contract expires in the summer.

Um, this doesn't "prove prove it's faster than Galaxy S2" at all. It proves it can render JavaScript quicker ... which mainly comes down to the browser that is rendering it. Try a different browser on android and you would get completely different results.

Seriously CNET ... stop the biased news articles ... you're sounding more dumb by the day.


As above Galaxy S2, running firefox browser, Sun Spider result 1429 ... blows 4S out of the water. You can prove something is faster using just one single test. Come on CNET get your act together!

Samsung Galaxy S2 vs Apple iPhone 4S: comparison of top features



October 15, 2011 | Filed under: Business (http://nvonews.com/category/business/) | Posted by: admin (http://nvonews.com/author/awasthi/)



Samsung Galaxy S2 vs Apple iPhone 4S comparison is being increasingly made by both Android and iOS fans. Here is a short comparison of top features and specs of the two
Apple and Samsung are again facing each other. The two have fought a long and protracted war on legal front with Apple able to get Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 banned in Germany and some restraining orders in place in Australia. But it is a new war that Apple has feared a lot and this seems to be the genesis of the legal actions against Samsung, South Korean tech giant.
With the launch of iPhone 4S today and the Samsung Galaxy S2 in the US market a couple of weeks ago, the war of dominance is going to get hotter in the coming days. Though Apple didn’t launch a full fledged complete iPhone, nonetheless the phone it launched has enough firepower to keep its fans happy and its dominance over smart phone market intact.
Samsung Galaxy S2 must be the lightest smart phone available in the market. Samsung Galaxy S II is with a dimension of 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.49mm and a weight of 117g. On the other hand, Apple iPhone 4S is with a dimension of 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3mm and weighs at 140g.
Apple iPhone 4S comes with similar display of the previous version of iPhone. Its 3.5-inch, 960 x 640 pixels, 326 ppi, retina display with IPS is still mesmerizing for many of the iPhone fans. Samsung Galaxy S2 ranks very high in this regard. It comes with 4.27-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels.
When it comes to processor, Apple’s latest A5 processor is among the best in the market and much more improved over the processor that the last iPhone 4 had. Galaxy S 2 comes with the fascinating dual core 1.5 or 1.2 GHz processor. It is 4G WiMAX, HSPA+ 42 or HSPA+ 21Mpbs compliant.
When it comes to camera, both are very competitive. Both come with 8-megapixel camera. 1028p HD camera in the rear panel and VGA camera in the front. Galaxy S II also offers an 8-megpixel 1080p HD camera in the rear panel, but it has a more advanced 2-megapxel camera for video chatting. Rear cameras of both the smartphones have 30fps (frame per second).
As far as operating system is concerned Apple iPhone 4S is an out and out winner over Samsung Galaxy S2. Iphone 4S is run on iOS 5, Apple’s most recent and the best ever iOS update. iPhone 4, thanks to iOS 5 has exciting features like iCloud, iMessage, Newsstand, Notification Center and many others are integrated on iOS 5.
Samsung Galaxy S2 on the other hand uses Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Galaxy Nexus vs. iPhone 4S

How does the Galaxy Nexus fair against Apple's latest smartphone?

The ultimate battle between Android and Apple has reached a new level with the introduction of the[URL="http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/10/17/apple-iphone-4s-review"] iPhone 4S (http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/10/20/galaxy-nexus-vs-iphone-4s#) and the world's first Android 4.0-equipped Ice Cream Sandwich, Google Galaxy Nexus (http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/10/19/google-nexus-officially-revealed). As the leading devices of each respective platform, consumers might be wondering how the two match up. Let's take a closer look and find out.

http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2011/10/iphone-4s-vs-galaxy-nexus.jpg (http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/10/20/galaxy-nexus-vs-iphone-4s/iphone-4s-vs-galaxy-nexus/)

Hardware:
On specs alone, the dual-core 1.2 GHz Galaxy Nexus trumps the iPhone 4S' dual-core 1 GHz (clocked to 800 MHz) A5 processor but, in the real world, processor specs don't mean everything. The Nexus may have an impressive 1 GB of RAM, but we've seen what Apple's 512 MB of RAM can do on a device like the Apple iPad 2, and it's no slouch.
Hands-on time with both devices is required to really get a grasp of how these two premium phones really function in real world situations, but considering the processing capabilities of Samsung's Galaxy S II, it's probably safe to say that you wouldn't be disappointed with either phone.
Design:
As far as slate devices go, the iPhone 4S is one of the most unique smartphones on the market. The flat, double glass design easily sets it apart from any other phone out there. The major downside is that glass can shatter, a woe seldom sung by owners of plastic constructed phones.

http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2011/10/iphone-4s-nexus-side.jpg (http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/10/20/galaxy-nexus-vs-iphone-4s/iphone-4s-nexus-side/)
With the Nexus' monster 4.65-inch display, the Google phone stands just under an inch taller than Apple's device, something that can surely be a make-or-break feature for those looking to save some space. Both phones are within half an inch of each other in terms of width, and are almost identical in regards to thickness.
Camera:
The iPhone 4's camera was impressive to begin with, and the bump to 8 MP, along with a new CMOS sensor, places the iPhone 4S' camera as one of the best you can find on a phone.

http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2011/10/iphone-camera-e1319123766465.jpg (http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/10/20/galaxy-nexus-vs-iphone-4s/iphone-camera/)
The Galaxy Nexus may sport a 5 MP camera, but Samsung's Galaxy devices have a reputation of taking quality photos as well. Software features on the Nexus like the ability to take single-shot panoramic photos with the swipe of the phone are noteworthy, and we bet that you'd be satisfied no matter what side of the line you stand on.
Surprisingly, neither phone sport a dual-LED flash.
Both the iPhone 4S and Galaxy Nexus have 1080p HD video recording capabilities.

Apple's Retina Display, originally introduced on the iPhone 4, has been the reigning champion of color and clarity since it was released over a year ago. On Apple's 3.5-inch display, the 960x640 resolution pumps out an impressive 326 ppi.
Typically, and especially with Android devices, pumping up screen size has a negative effect on display quality, although this is anything but true with the Galaxy Nexus. Despite having a relatively gigantic screen, the Super AMOLED display boasts a resolution of 1280x720, resulting in a pixel density of about 315 ppi.

The improved antenna design found on the iPhone 4S may be impressive in terms to its predecessor, but the Galaxy Nexus is both HSPA+ and LTE compatible, ultimately future-proofing itself for the next two-years of life on contract. On the flip side, Apple's smartphone has a combined GSM/CDMA antenna, a perfect feature for the jet-setters out there. Specific details regarding the Nexus' 3G antenna structure have yet to be announced.
A surprising omission from the iPhone 4S, the Galaxy Nexus is equipped with a Near Field Communication (NFC) chip that will be utilized by services like Google Wallet and Android 4.0's data transferring Android Beam feature.
Operating System:

The tried and true Apple iOS has matured considerably over the years, and it will be interesting to see how the next evolution of Android performs once it is in our hands. iOS 5 has introduced a number of new features, like an updated notification system, iCloud, and the ever-sassy Siri, but Ice Cream Sandwich is a major revisioning of the Android operating system.
We would bring up app selection, but the winner in that department is clear.
Since the Galaxy Nexus will be the first device to use Android 4.0, we'll have to wait and see how the operating system performs under pressure when it is released next month.

actually I was thinking about this. IT would have been cool if they wrapped a bunch of these phones up in ICS wrappers and unwrapped them in the launch presentation.

actually they should ship these in ICS wrappers
