Can't think of many phoned currently on the market make the galaxy s2 outdated. Specs are still top notch.

CNET Everyone knows they're Apple Fanboys
this is your worst link yet, tbh
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 | Posted by: admin
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 compe ive. 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.
I posted a link with benchmarks, you posted random comments you could have typed out yourself. You have any links to benchmarks that show anything, or just random ? I would like to see them, but I doubt you have em. I do apologize for that link, it looked sketchy. Here is one from Anandtech:

cause no review copies are out there to test against.
Galaxy Nexus vs. iPhone 4S
How does the Galaxy Nexus fair against Apple's latest smartphone?
by Justin Rubio
October 20, 2011
The ultimate battle between Android and Apple has reached a new level with the introduction of the iPhone 4S and the world's first Android 4.0-equipped Ice Cream Sandwich, Google Galaxy Nexus. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Display:
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.
Wireless Connectivity:
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.
lefty just wait till the phone is actually released. Come November you'll see the Iphone 4S getting teabagged
All i know is that ICS wins the logo battle and its not even close. I want to eat the out of that logo.
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
