Anyone has a name as to the way SGS2 renders the webpages? The implementation is very similar to iPhone's. If I'm not mistaken the webpage halts rendering when the pinch-zoom gesture is performed, which is why you see checkerboard when pinch zooming (also as seen on iPhone). The page resumes rendering when the zoom gesture was ended.

The advantage of this rendering method is that it gives a very smooth feel to browsing. The disadvantage is of coz the checkerboards.

Anyone have a name for it?

its called "iduncareiwantmysgs2plssssssssssss"

then maybe u will see quad-core cpu powered smartphone..and u might want to wait..
then u might want to wait for iphone 6 or iphone 5s/5Gs or so on..

touchwiz 4 is nice compared to 3

never like touchwiz 3 before, but started to fall in love when i use touchwiz 4

just choose SGS 2..
the spec already win a lot..
SGS2 gpu is theoretically 5 times better than hummingbird..
just imagine..

thats y i change..bored with ios...now its time to play serius....dun forget to teach n give tutorial ya experts of android:)

u got the phone ad?

leaked tw4. one thing about sgs users, they really got passion for android. tabik.

And Adreno 220 is not a shabby GPU either.

The Sensation has a qHD resolution too, while the SGSII has a Super AMOLED+ going for it.

Actually this checkerbox rendering thingy is already implemented in some newer version of current SGS1 firmware. I am personally using it now so i can attest to that. Only certain version though. Basically, when u pinch to zoom, everything will be blurred as u pinch, and it will only refocus the text/image once u release your finger. Sure, the advantage is that it's a lot smoother, but it's also less pretty to eyes . The original browser on older firmware, will refocus the text real time as you zoom, and this will cause sluggishness if the website is graphic/flash heavy, but it's also more pleasing to the eye as you can read while you zoom. So, there's a compromise to both, unless the phone is powerful enough to refocus real time as you zoom.

However,"stop-rendering" during zoom pinching is a completely separate thing if i'm not wrong. I don't think SGS1 has that feature.

and MSM8X60's Adreno 220 has better performance than the Exynos's Mali400, imagine that..

and we always argue whether samsung is copycat of apple.

comparison..u may compare sgs II with sensation and more..

有消息称，韩国以外国家和地区上市的 GALAXY S2 i9100 将改用 NVIDIA Tegra 2 双核处理器，以缓解三星自家 Exynos 双核处理器产能不足的问题。

Sensation have higher resolution while SGS2 have higher colour.

the rest SGS2 owns

tegra and exynos, which one better?

yes, & let's not forget those pixels thing..

from android central :

'Super AMOLED plus increases the number of sub-pixels by 50 percent -- this means twelve sub-pixels instead of eight.
This makes the screen even more visible in bright light, and should help make text and the edges of images crisper,
while still keeping the gorgeous color that AMOLED displays provide. This is the kind of tech improvement that seems small, until you actually use one.'

Google translate is our country's best friend: Google translate

"It is said that countries and regions outside of Korea listed GALAXY S2 i9100 will switch to NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor, to ease Exynos Samsung's own dual-core processor capacity planning issues."

other than korea, other country SGS2 will be using tegra 2 processor instead of samsung Exynos due to shortage (rough translation)

thanks..

emm.. not that i mind too much not using exynos,
but with tegra 2, it seems the diff between every dual core phones getting smaller
