4 more days till we see an official review from Uk. 2 more weeks till one of us gets to purchase the sgs2, 1 more month before this thread will be flooded with sgs2.

ironically, 1 more year before this will look ancient to the next-gen echelons.

Are you not convinced?



I admit he did too much the gesture zooming, made me dizzy after watching the video.
The real performance starts at 3min~4min when he played about 5-6 videos simultaneously in one page, as well as other flash content page in other tabs.
The browser performance is really top notch  rclxms.gif

Wow, i'm impressed with it performance, it can play all flash contain and video simultaneously without problem plus livewallpaper at background!! shocking.gif

So, look at a photograph of chrysanthemums, without any lighting. Pictures look the same. Here and further pictures from the Galaxy SII are located on the left.


Now turn the flash on both devices, look at the detail of the photograph with Galaxy, it is completely sharp, while the picture with the Arc is not as good. Made several times pictures everywhere the result of Arc is approximately the same.

Lift the pencil on the table by the window. Light side, the lighting is not enough. Both cameras have done your work about the same, I would not select a leader.


Moving to the children's cabinet. And here the conditions are harder, the lighting is practically nonexistent. Luggage Arc grabs the side of the light from the windows and illuminates the picture, a lot of noise. At the same time, the Galaxy gives the normal conditions for such a photo.

Laughing Buddha in my office perfectly turned out to Galaxy, but here's Arc somehow raised up to ISO 400 (250 on the Galaxy), while at the same time obscured the picture. It also turned out not very sharp.

Flash things in Arc worse, the machine simply takes as necessary. See for yourself. I tried to take pictures several times, but always got this result here.

On the street situation is almost the same. We look at this picture, there is a resemblance, but Arc is not winning.


But in this photo (a rare case!) Can even say that the Arc took a little bit better. A little.

But here's a picture of luminous posters with advertising already shows once again that the Arc can not take pictures.

seems like hk is getting the tegra 2 version.

user posted image

tegra 2 is good but the only downside is that it cant play high profile h.264 mp4 videos.

depending on the model coming to malaysia, i might have to import the device.

for now i liked exynos better, maybe they'll prove me wrong with tegra 2 benchmarking

this is old news, actually hong kong get the exynos version with super amoled plus, they already correct back the statement...

Hello, are you referring to the Galaxy S 2? The warranty will be two years, yes if there are any problems you would need to return it to us and we would pass it to Samsung UK. The box accessories should be a Micro USB cable, USB charger, battery and headset. There should be a Samsung logo on the back of the device, nothing on the front
