My friend just bought a SGS for his gf on Saturday i think...tmrw i make him piss off by telling him about SGS2...haha

I just bought mine 2 wks ago.

Got front facing cam kah?... Been searching for this....

2011 is the world of dual core....o.o...i wonder how HTC counter back....

Let's wait until MWC 2011 in February, HTC and Samsung should be introducing some new phones by that time.

Really hope the rumor is true and Samsung, HTC should release some powerhouses to impress us!

Unless you're buying a phone for...benchmarking, I don't see the need for dual cores. Current phones are fast enough, and lately phones are having more of a.. renewed feature rather than an evolution.

SGS 2 will launch Q1 2011... was waiting for it but needed a phone so badly, in the end got myself a SGS. Very satisfy with it, don't think need to upgrade to SGS 2 so soon.

so you guys think dual core hp really a necessary? well i'm using a desire Z right now so wonder shud i get a dual core in future?

I wonder how a phone manage to battery and the temperature for dual core ?

much of "does we need a dual core phone" question has been discussed before.

few of the biggest concern of dual core are the battery life and temperature issue like WiLeKiyO said.
my SGS @ full loaded also feel quite hot, 2 core should be double the hot if they are not taking good air flow/cooling solution into account.

Damn, would love to wait but my N95 8GB is dying. Dropping calls like mad. Gonna pick up a captivate though in a week or two.

this interview explains quite a lot about Tegra 2,
especially regarding the temperature and battery concern,
it is able to disable part of itself when under idle condition,
thus being more efficient in power consumption

Seriously, current phone at 1Ghz damn fast. Don't see a need for dual core. I would rather see more RAM....2GB RAM perhaps??

Unless coupled with a very powerful GPU, maybe a dual core will make some difference. I would rather see better cameras with xenon flash build into android phones....that would be perfect.

the thing is I am not concerning the idle state, I am more concern the full load state, like 3D gaming and long video shoot.

i think SGS 2 specs just like Samsung Infuse 4G .... 4.5 Super Amoled Plus ....and dual core processor ..... Full HD video recording ..... , just worried battery life ....

Sehh... 2GB RAM is more than my desktop computer already..

New baterry technology that can last longer is what i need

hybrid solar/kinetic powered rechargeable battery maybe . green power

yes, they should improve more on battery life. still using the old same technology for the past 5 years or so.

there is already a phone that is almost as capable as you describe, the Motorola Atrix
Tegra 2 in itself has already a pretty powerful GPU, and 1GB of RAM built in,
except the camera which is still only 5MP

if you watch the video,
they are playing some Tegra 2 only games,
and after that they still comment on how it does not affect the temperature,
thus it shouldn't be too worrying,
though it might affect the battery life for long hour of intense usage,
let's just wait for the result then?

regarding battery life, don't know about other phone,
but the Atrix has a 1900mAh battery,
the battery life shouldn't be too bad.

1GB of RAM is already available in phones, 2GB shouldn't be too far away

err... IMO... if fully utilise the dual core might increase the heat and drain more battery...but if using dual core handle things that single core can handle... I dont think it will heat up and drain more than single core ...

I think the cores are not used all the time, maybe when doing smaller tasks one of the core shuts down and one remains in use. Meaning the power is there but not in use unless needed to. Something like how we manage processor speed in SetCPU?

okay if the price of dual core is just abit over the single core..i don't see any point of not getting a dual core...??

what i concern is the price and when will it reaches malaysia...XD...

if d dual core selling price is near d SGS i think plenty ppl wont mind to own it

wohoo, Galaxy S 2 picture and some specs has been leaked :-

New Galaxy S 2 picture leaked :-


SGS 2 will be features :-

* 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus ԁіѕрƖау
* Dual-core processor
* NFC chip
* Android 2.3 Gingerbread

I dont think the question regarding dual cores is whether you need it or not, but rather would they (handset maker and mobile OS coder) make good software that utilise them at all.

I really hope that one day later I could draw simple dxf/dwg on my phone, email it to my office etc.

Most probably they will sell out the Super Amoled and then make the S-AMOLED Plus an exclusive.

I though already got AndCAD wat? have to pay abit la.

cant wait for the SGS 2 to come. wohoo

wow... if that's the real look of SGS2 then it looks very nice and it'll attract me to buy it...

another picture of SGS2

wow..nice design.. !

Looks exactly like samsung captivate.

Assume that SGS2 for AT&T. Just like those T-Mobile Label the phone with different name.

I don't think that is the final design of SGS2 but still it won't be too much different from that design.
Everything will be confirmed on MWC 2011, can't wait!

I see the dual core - single core arguments still haven't end
What I want to say is we do not need to judge whether we need dual core or not OR any issues of dual core like temp, battery life and etc
because we won't be getting the phones as early as overseas, so overseas consumers are probably gonna use them before us and give
us some reviews before we actually buy all those dual core phones.

official news from samsung.. i guess it will be galaxy S 2...
FEB 13th.... is the date

sause

iphone 5 oso dual core

smartphone sure use alot of juice la

like sport car minum minyak dgn rakus

dual core processor unlike the single core one...
it has the power saving ability..meaning, it might not as hot as u expected.

i'll wait for 2,3 months after released in msia to see user feedback..
just to be safe...
n hopefully Darky will make a custom ROM for this phone tooo

like captivate leh..

sure this is not captivate meh? If like this can "tertukar" with someone's sgs2.

there is no evolution in design. like the spec but hate the design.

So what design would you suggest a phone to be?

specs looks promising as well ... omg which to take ... Atrix or SGS2 ... time to give my DHD to my GF lol

To each his own man. Personally, i prefer this to that of the iPhong-esque of the SGS i9000. Looks more original.

=

Don't they look so similar nowadays...

Design wise, newer touch screen phone will look almost the same since there's not much that can be changed such as physical keypad (i.e. old nokia phone). Uniqueness nowadays comes in form of UI.

No point worrying bout the price of the phone. In bolehland, we should be more worried about WHEN it will reach here (if it ever reaches here that is)

Samsung usually releases their phone models worldwide within a margin of a month. So if it starts to get sold anywhere, we'll get it too

no they dont

the left got dedicated physical menu button, but the right sideone only got touch sensor button..
there has been rumor that future android device will only have one physical/sensor type button as all the menu button will go inside the UI.
personally I am more like physical button because it will reads less error than built-in into UI button..but for the looks it better without the button or at least one button for home/menu.

Well of course it has some differences... Otherwise its patent-sue time.

But if you glanced both from far, it'll be hard to tell the difference.

i'll say the similarity is in terms of the bsic shape

so true so true, still waiting for nexus 2 to come hear

more details




android 2.3
super amoled plus
1080i recording
8 Mpix camera
1 gb ram
4.3" WVGA
9 mm thick

resolution? hope it won't still lose to retina.

Why look exactly like iPhong 4?

not exactly but very close..

look like the "single" physical/sensor button for next android phone coming close to reality..possible it will be support honeycomb phone version too

samsung always have iphone envy, even their touchwiz interface.
dats 1 of the reasons why galaxy s was such a smash hit

Some updates on SGS2:

http://www.gsmarena.com/dualcore_orion_cpu...2-news-2238.php

Any news for Smartphones with:

- Android 3.0 (Honeycomb)
- Dual Core
- HD video (1080p)
- microSD
- Super AMOLED
- 12mp Camera

Anyone?

The specs look promise .....

thought android 3 series is for tablets?

Rubin said gonna be for both

I didn't see a thread on the upcoming Galaxy S successor so here it is. The teaser is out at Unpacked. Here it is below for your convenience.

from the video if is true
then i guess is an ULTRA thin Galaxy S2
probably 5-7mm?

You must dig attention to detail..Here's a vague secret..In the youtube video, they forgot to hide the reflection

Haha...That's COOL. Ultra thin.

Why see reflection... visit the link for some actual photo of the phone...

http://www.techwench.com/the-most-anticipa...hones-of-2011/#

I see everybody poking fun of the reflection but I think it was intentional. You can't see anything useful anyway. The shape of the SGS2 has been leaked before and can be seen in another part of the video too.

Yep, the reflection seems intentional

wondering is thr any SGS user will go for it

Time to change phone as per recommendation by the link~~

Alright.....


the phone look like the US version of SGS ....


2x Better in processor power.... 0.3 inch wider with 3MP + Flash ...

Android 3.0


I dont see any significant reason to change froM SGS to SGS2 unless i got too much money to throw away....



I dont think theres a "WOW" or even a "MEH" feeling ..... maybe better GPS built... but overall can we realy feel the 2GHZ speed??? its not like theres many games or apps release for android that even need that kind of speed.

Thats how Android is..The leap slowly takes place so you may not see significant differences..Thats why, choose wisely and do research before you buy..Gadgets are never ending and never enough..If you know what you need, then you can save + cherish at the same time..I'm still sticking to my Nexus One..meh..

I'm still using a 500+Mhz HTC Hero, so this phone might be a good upgrade for me. I love SuperAMOLED. As long ad Samsung didn't screw up the lag and GPS again, it's either this or the Xperia Arc for me.

I doubt HTC will announce any really innovative phones. I guess they'll still be using SLCD/TFT.

Yeah..be careful with those..AMOLED are low on stocks..

To me, I wont buy a Samsung phone..Have had a bad experience, once is enough..

So the specs like 4.3 inch super amoled plus screen, 8mm thickness, dual core Orion processor, 8megapixel camera and 1080i video recording, 1GB RAM, 32GB internal memory .... Which one better ? This or Atrix ??

Super AMOLED Plus seems interesting, since it gets rid of the PenTile matrix arrangement that handicaps the pixels of the old Super AMOLED. Meaning crisp text like it should have been for a 480x800 pixel display

going to wait until 2,3months after launched in msia.
see the user feedback 1st....as for now,i'm pretty satisfied my SGS performance...

just the GPS that let me down...huhuhu
the rest, i think its a all-rounder phone...
=)

It's supposedly a dual-core 1GHz or faster. 1 core for foreground app, 1 core for background apps. So it is more efficient in that sense.

couldn't agree more...
the battery usage also not as heavy as 1core processor...

but i donno the temperature of our phone by using duo core processor yet..

There were some rumors HTC is saving their big guns for MWC instead of the recent CES. Supposedly they have a 3D phone in hand. And LG too. Only time will tell if that is true...

I wouldn't be surprised..3D is the new IN nowadays..Would kinda rock to have a 3D Android phone..

[unrelated]
share with us what happened to you .. bout the sammy phone ??

[/unrelated]

no orion = fail
plastic = fail
no sdcard = fail

this was with the SGS..
VERY cheap plastic..my nexus one looked a lot more solid and exclusive..
VERY poor filesystem..if I'm going to make an external ext2 partition to speed up my phone, why the heck would I buy a 16GB internal memory phone..
VERY poor Kies system..What made samsung think cloud backup was not the way to go?
VERY overpriced..Not worth the price its tagged for the product that you get..
no trackball..I can't explain how important the trackball is to me after using the N1 for a year now..
and the list just goes on..

i love my sgs..
my sgs lite..
my sgs can store many music, doc, movies, games..
my sgs can do backup
i never use phone with trackball..

i love my sgs..

And that's why I went and picked up the captivate. More solidly built, and cheaper. Teh 16 GB is for teh lulz. Don't even bother about kies.

Captivate must be a very smart decision you made I've played with it too..Cool phone..

still, you can have a phone case to cover the back cover
custom roms to make it perform as it should be
kies is useless. way to go for odin and cwm
for a trackball, i prefer blackberry

I have a trackball on my HTC Hero. Hardly use it.

Some rumor from trusted source.
The specs would be:

* A 4.3″ or 4.5″ Super AMOLED Plus display
* 8MP rear camera with LED and 1.3MP front-facing camera
* Orion dual-core processor clocked at 1.0 or 1.2GHz
* Android 2.3 Gingerbread
* NFC Support
* Bluetooth 3.0

I really hope it will not be a 4.5", gonna be way too big, 4.3" is okay.
Hope they could throw in 3D display with 3D recording to catch up with LG.
Anyway, expect it to be freaking high price again.

Cheh....Apple use CPU design by ARM (Cortex series A8) and made by Samsung...the Apple A4 CPU is nothing more than a rebadged Samsung Hummingbird....like Proton rebadge Lancer as Inspira....

Hummingbird is currently used in Samsung Wave 1 and 2 and SGS.

Won't be suprised they'll use the same Samsung chip in SGS2 for iphone 5. Apple just made OS and software and outer shell design......they know nuts about hardware inside...

seems korea is one day ahead MWC2011

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/12/samsung...leaked-on-kore/



8.5mm nice

For me I think the outlook totally different compare to ip4. Btw, 8.5mm and 4.3 inch super amoled plus screen and full HD video recording. And also 10.1 inch galaxy tab 2.

4.3" screen
1 Ghz dual-core
8.5 mm
116 g

If no lag, consider this my next phone. Once you go SuperAMOLED, it's hard to switch to any other phone.

agree.
de main reason why i sold off the galaxy s was bcos of the horrible lag.
even though it is possible to install nolagfix, but seriously we paid a lot of money juz so dat we can improve it by ourselves?

Thanks.

It's cool, but yeah the factory ROM sucks.

It flies after i threw in a custom ROM.
