QUOTE(h11g @ Feb 23 2011, 02:15 PM) Yea when i switched from HTC Touch HD to Nexus One i felt that it's a big upgrade. so my N1 was stuck with me until now i started seeing lots of dual core phones out in the market and got poisoned. So i chose samsung and i hope this phone wont disappoint. Or maybe we can wait for Nexus X made by Motorola or LG since these two has not come out with Nexus phone yet. I hope so  Definitely Google will come out with dual core phone for developer. Moreover, Qualcomm in N1, Samsung Hummingbird in NS so left Tegra and TI OMAP.....

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(benny888 @ Mar 7 2011, 06:49 PM) BELUM -lah ! And I am very sure I will not be the first one. Just for this phone, I have been postponing my monthly trip to KL since last week. The KL guys will be getting it first. High probablity then we should be getting the Exynos/Super Amoled Plus: Quote this report from : http://androidandme.com/2011/03/phones/sam...version-for-us/There was a lot of confusion surrounding the hardware specs of the Galaxy S II when Samsung announced the superphone last month at Mobile World Congress. Samsung’s official press release said the device featured a dual-core application processor, but it never mentioned which specific CPU was inside. When we questioned Samsung on this we were initially told it was a Tegra 2 chip and then later informed it was actually Samsung’s Exynos 4210.
NVIDIA then sent out a press release to announce their Tegra 2 was powering the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and hinted at an upcoming phone by saying, “the companies are also partnering to bring a new Android-based super phone with a dual-core CPU to consumers, for never-before-seen experiences.”
Since that time three separate sources have all provided evidence that suggest Samsung will dual source some of the components for the Galaxy S II, which includes using two vendors for different regions to supply the processor.
First Pocket-lint discovered a Samsung Galaxy S II product brochure that noted the dual-core Exynos application processor “may not be applicable in some regions”. Then our friends at Anandtech spotted a Tegra-powered Samsung phone with the model number GT-i9103, which is quite similar to the Galaxy S II model number GT-i9100.
Finally we have a post written by Desire Athow of ITProPortal who says an unnamed NVIDIA spokesperson showed him a slide that confirmed they would power an upcoming Samsung phone.
A recent report from the Korea Times suggested that Samsung Semiconductor will quadruple the shipment of their mobile application processors, but 50 percent of the capacity for 2011 will be reserved for Apple. That would be more than the supply for its own products such as Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab, so it makes sense that Samsung would turn to another vendor to keep up with the high demand.
Both the Tegra 2 and Exynos platforms should offer similar performance, but NVIDIA appears to have a slight advantage when it comes to premium content. NVIDIA just launched their Tegra Zone app, which highlights games that are specifically optimized for Tegra 2 and over a dozen developers have committed to supplying additional exclusive titles.
Hopefully we should know more in just a few weeks at CTIA in Orlando. Samsung Mobile announced the original Galaxy S at last year’s event and they have another Unpacked event to reveal their new products for US consumers. I expect we will see the Galaxy S II announced for multiple US carriers, so we will have to keep an eye on the specs to see if they differ.
If you were thinking of picking up the Galaxy S II, which processor do you hope Samsung uses for the US versions? Would you like to see them stick with their Exynos chip or go with the more popular Tegra 2?
 Then this will make XDA folks a hard time to develop customize kernel & optimize ROM. Definitely, it will make two camps for this model. Like SGS international model and North America models. This post has been edited by Bugeca: Mar 7 2011, 08:39 PM |

QUOTE(oldKyoo @ Mar 23 2011, 08:03 PM) What is not acceptable for me is why do I have to void the warranty just to make it not so obvious lag??? rooting already voids it. And just to unroot it to send back for warranty. What if suddenly spoil and they discover its rooted?? then how??? kong ah?? U guys nvr experience rooting a bloody vibrant u all piece of cake... wait till the device rooting is smth like vibrant.. ahh, then u all know.... the dhd was slightly laggy, but it was well within an acceptable rate. What is so hard in rooting the vibrant. Care to share? |

QUOTE(oldKyoo @ Mar 23 2011, 08:35 PM) the official 2.2 rom for Vibrant is not pleasant neither is it friendly rooting. SGS is nothing in effort for rooting compared to a Vibrant. Go check out the xda if u want to know more.. The easiest way is to flash back to 2.1 and root and all, which i am reluctant to.
Added on March 23, 2011, 8:37 pmanyway have u guys seen the breakdancing android????? funny droid lol... its a human in the maskot Well at least you can flash back not to some HTC phone. This post has been edited by Bugeca: Mar 23 2011, 09:13 PM |

QUOTE(ijat91 @ Apr 6 2011, 12:01 PM) This is completely misleading, yes what we inside galaxy s only 3xxMB usable RAM but it hardware actually 512MB RAM, some of it reserved for the system only especially for it GPU for video acceleration and 720p recording, that is why when the developers in xda change the usable RAM cause the XVID video and 720p not functioning. If the galaxy s2 have usable 7xxMB usable, it actually accepted. Hope the fellow forummer get it right  agree, where he get the rumor  +1 Agreed with you. Happened to me when I'm using a 360MB kernel. If the phone has 384, then the OS is only occupying 24MB of RAM? The only drawback using this kernel is 3G video call crashed. Other user of DamianGTO kernel should know about this issue  This post has been edited by Bugeca: Apr 6 2011, 12:12 PM |

QUOTE(ventrilocks @ Apr 7 2011, 10:39 PM) they do thinner their tablet in just 1 month.. so up clock from 1GHz to 1.2GHz in a short time is very possible for them..  Hope they do it right. SGS got GPS issue, next SGS2 got mobo issue due to last minute changes. OC is phone dependent. SGS can OC up to 1.4 but only handful owner can achieve that. Myself only up to 1.2 (with -100uv) then reverted back to 1GHz coz afraid it will lead to mobo burn-out coz of overheating. What about battery? Still stick to 1650, 200MHz extra can tax the battery a bit. Idling should be no prob only when processor hungry app running. |

QUOTE(alfredtwl @ Apr 11 2011, 10:15 PM) I thought Tegra only 1ghz and Super LCD screen?? It is possible the Tegra will be equipped with SLCD. Looking at Samsung product code, whatever ending with "3" is SLCD like i9000 vs i9003, i9020 vs i9023... |

QUOTE(soitsuagain @ Apr 15 2011, 09:57 PM) Don't take me too subjectively ok, please? I put more of the stress on the Apple like design from Samsung, generally they are OK but nothing exceptional and...yeah compared with HTC they are lagging pretty bad right there. Like with HTC people talk about their Sense, SE is about the camera, Samsung??? Browsing??? NFC???? TouchWiz??? Puhhhleaseeeeeee  When mentioning Samsung, one will relate them to Amoled, Hummingbird and Orion (Exynos). They created those things. Surely, you need to dig deeper.... |

QUOTE(soitsuagain @ Apr 15 2011, 10:12 PM) LOLOLOL, technically I am not here on which phone is better. Everyone has their own preference and I am certainly not dissing Samsung on their thread. I was speaking about punctuality about the SGS2 until I was brought out of context.  Btw, you know who has the worst time lag ever? SE. Don't believe check out Xperia X1 and W960. 
Added on April 15, 2011, 10:20 pmAMOLED was the part of the result of the collaboration with Sony back in the days I think about LCD panels. The processors you speak of are not really groundbreaking...... It is about uniqueness in relation to your earlier post. |

Preorder at Version 2 Page 32 #640, AP on Version 2 Page 34 #668 and Official phone on Version 2 Page 81 #1614. Based on that, SGS2 still way behind the DHD eruption |
