Excerpt of email sent to me from Clove UK this morning :

We have now confirmed the final UK specification, box contents, launch date and the price of the SGS2. We also have official Samsung Galaxy S II Accessories listed on the Clove website and available to purchase.

The recently confirmed technical specifications of the SGS2 are:

1. The processor chip is Samsung's Exynos chip (not the NVIDIA Tegra 2 chip)
2. The Processor Speed is 1.2GHz
3. The 3G frequencies that the SGS2 can operate on are 850/900/1900/2100 (Quad band)
4. The display type is Super AMOLED Plus
5. The internal storage capacity is 16GB.

At the moment there is no news on the availability of a version of the SGS2 with 32GB internal memory. At this stage we are not sure if a 32GB version will ever be released.

The price of the Samsung Galaxy S II is GBP 440 pounds + VAT.

The official launch date of the Samsung Galaxy S II is Sunday 1st May. This is a bank holiday, as is Monday 2nd May, so the first orders will be shipped on Tuesday 3rd May.

The Box Contents of the Samsung Galaxy S II are:

.. SGS2 I9100 handset + battery
.. UK Mains Charger
.. MicroUSB cable
.. 3.5mm Stereo Headset
.. Quick Start Guide
*
No MHL cable adapter in the box content of SGS2???

I have a question on the MHL cable, is it current MHL will output 3D game to HD tv??? or the current version MHL just be able to output image and full HD video sad.gif

There is no MHL cable available in the market yet.
The first version of MHL cable is only able to output Full HD instead of 3D, however they are now working on 2.0 version to enable 3D.
By the way, Samsung replied a post in Facebook that Hong Kong will be getting Tegra 2 processor with Super AMOLED plus.
Not sure how true is this, but Samsung fans in Hong Kong are sure crying out loud and complaining at their Facebook page now.  doh.gif

Then I got to wait for next version of MHL cable.. cry.gif


It would be nice if Samsung can pack the MHL cable together with SGS2.

I saw someone mentioning about camera.

Samsung, although they don't have those camera lens manufacturer endorsements (like Carl-Zeiss, Schneider-Kreuznach, Cybershot, Lumix etc.) their camera do the job pretty well too. I'd prefer a Samsung Jet's camera picture than an iPhone 4 camera picture.

and before you guys come to me and bash, yes, I do have those 2 at home currently, AND it's a matter of personal preference to me. Some like bloated vivid photo, while some like normal colors.

From current review, SGS2 camera really did well, good detail, low noise, correct color. Just I want to see is the led flash WB, usually led flash do give bad WB & color...


I wonder where can I get the MHL cable after SGS2 release... since Samsung said that it do have MHL supported, wanna test it my own, Full HD would be nice when output to 40" LCD screen icon_rolleyes.gif

n8 camera is nice, but not great.. for me, in-door shot, sure die, noise a lot.

I'm now using n8, I know all about it tongue.gif (already took > 2000 photo)

looking at the sgs2 preview, the detail is very very close to n8 & noise level is lower than n8 (100% zoom the photo)... just sgs2 no xenon flash cry.gif

but the full hd video from sgs2 really powerfull than n8 drool.gif

means the phone slow?

sometime it is very annoying.. some apps / games cannot install... ovi store lag.. open folder need to wait so long (5second shakehead.gif ) the qt a lot problem..

3D game lag like hell --> asphalt 5, angry bird too lag like hell for many levels... when play game, always quit games ... sometime restart..

.. a lot I can tell from n8 biggrin.gif

overall, n8 is slower and a lot bug on software, even iphone 3GS also faster than it sweat.gif

A longer browser test on the SGS 2. Are you satisfy?


I would say the rotation is now faster, maybe it's improved by Gingerbread.

like that also consider copy???

how about turn to the rear side of the phone and compare? Totally different for SGS2 and iphone, and both phone is different in size, apple just want to make news and slow down Samsung SGS2 release date vmad.gif


... this also mean that iphone 5 cannot fight with SGS2 biggrin.gif
