Oh yeah! I'd must say it's not that shabby for our SGS2. Review from anandtech which can't be wrong.

The Fastest Smartphone SoC Today: Samsung Exynos 4210

Samsung has been Apple's sole application processor supplier since the release of the original iPhone. It's unclear how much Samsung contributes to the design process, especially with later SoCs like the A4 and A5 carrying the Apple brand. It's possible that Samsung is now no more than a manufacturing house for Apple.

Needless to say, the past few years of supplying SoCs for the iPhone and iPad have given Samsung a good idea of what the market wants from an application processor. We first got the hint that Samsung knew what it was up to with its Hummingbird SoC, used in the Galaxy S line of smartphones.

Hummingbird featured a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 core and an Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX 540 GPU. Although those specs don't seem very impressive today, Hummingbird helped Samsung ship more Android smartphones than any of its competitors in 2010. At a high level, Hummingbird looked a lot like Apple's A4 used in the iPad and iPhone 4. Its predecessor looked a lot like Apple's 3rd generation SoC used in the iPhone 3GS.

Additional read-up...

Architecturally, the Exynos 4210 isn't too far from Apple's A5, NVIDIA's Tegra 2 or TI's OMAP 4. This is the same CPU configuration as all of the aforementioned SoCs, with a twist. While the A5, Tegra 2 and OMAP 4 all have a pair of ARM Cortex A9 cores running at 1GHz, Exynos pushes the default clock speed up to 1.2GHz. Samsung is able to hit higher clock speeds either through higher than normal voltages or as a result of its close foundry/design relationship.

i remember reading somewhere that the new exynos proc is up to 30% more power efficient but i think shud be abt mayb 10% power efficient

A clock speed advantage today is nice but it's something that Samsung's competitors will be able to deliver in the not too distant future. Where Samsung chose to really differentiate itself was in the graphics department. The Exynos 4210 uses ARM's Mali-400 MP4 GPU.

Could it be clock speed is yesterday's race and the today's race is about graphics? Luckily the SGS2 in my hands is GT-I9100 (Model Number). WAHOO!

Wanted to ask something, using A-GPS, I just have to enable use wireless networks right? I have disabled packet data and data roaming and wifi is off..........is it still working? some forums say wifi must be on and another website says it charges a little to use the data to get a lock...

u can use either wifi or Packet data coz A-GPS need internet connection to get the location from the server.

Guess there are advantages of buying phone at premium price

how to enable a-gps?

Settings>location and securtiy> tick use wireless network.

U can also use GPS status and fasterfix app from the market to assist ur GPS lock to make it lock faster

great, now I need to pay to use A-GPS when driving.....I thought it can use the cell towers to find out where we are? that does not require internet

i already root my phone using cf root.i just dont know how to install new rom.and can u tell me what is siyeh kernel?install custo rom need install new kernel to?i'm confused.that why scare to do the things >.<

There's quite a handful of those that already made it "customised" to their wants/needs. You throw in some free makan/minum, I'm sure they'll be lining up to offer you help. LOLZ!

I'm not sure about other Samsung's make/model available. But when I used the Mini's charger and I snugly slot it in my SGS2, it prompts for charging. Some of the fellas here had some problem when they want to charge their SGS2.

Anyway, it's for sharing purpose.

u can use Touch X-power rom, it use siyah kernel by default. got guide on its thread how to flash. great ROM, great battery life.

hmm, i use nokia AC-3 charger to charge, then the screen wont react to my finger

probably the charger is imitation product, have to go back to mlk n whack him hard d

Learn how to use CWM recovery and Odin properly, you should be able to flash almost anything easily

just enable to get satelite lock. after that turn off and use the normal GPS.

thanks for the advice
