The browser rendering speed is fast on the Galaxy S2 and it is enough and decent for everyday use in standard browsing.
Depending on what kind of websites you surf, you might as well stick back to your laptop. Eg. Playing flash game.
If you are only reading news and updates etc, everything works fine in GS2.

Oh, I know what u meant. Thanks.

But, I find my iPod touch 4g browser is as fast as my google chrome on PC.

Thanks.

what you find is subjective.

it is also dependent on your network, traffic to a particular site and a host of many other variables.

but it's good enough for me.

The browser is quite fast even on my EDGE connection. And youtube is quite smooth too. Rarely buffer.

Still depends to telco coverage etc.

For a SGS2 newb, my main concern now is the battery life. My batt was at 50% when I went to sleep, then woke up to a battery alert, 9% already!!!

I think I know why, last time I restored all apps + data. This time I restored missing apps + data. So my browser must have been restored last time...

My netbook is an AMD C-50 dual core 1GHZ. Scrolling wise with heavy flash, the S2 wins, but playing back 1080p mkv's the PC wins, SO this proves that the phone CPU is way faster, just my GPU in my PC can decode the 1080p mkv so it only utilises like 30% of the CPU ( and this is with HDMI out to my 1080p Bravia)

50% becomes 9%!!!??? really terrible.

U r using non-g? G version is better for saving battery life?

Using G version but dont take my word really quick. Need to investigate.

Anybody else using G version? Any comment on the battery?

I don't think you will encounter lagging, but trust me it is very hassle to play 'non touch' game like FarmVille on the phone, additionally, the screen is quite small and you won't be using it to play Facebook game so often.

Obviously there are some apps running in the background that drain your battery, check task manager or use BetterBatteryStats.

I'm checking on task manager quite regularly. And I'm using this Battery Dr Saver+Task Killer, actively killing all running apps.

Btw, BetterBatteryStats is paid app right?

You can get it free from xda dev forum

Sometimes battery saver app like the one you use might use more battery if you do not configure it properly, and again, do not use task killer other than the one included, what it does is kill the apps and the apps restore themselves again after a while.

You can find BetterBatteryStats in XDA as an attachment for free.

U meant i will encounter lagging when playing 1080 videos on SGS-2?

Thanks.

Thanks waveweaver and xsaintzx!

I don't know about him but 1080p mkv video plays smoothly in my SGS2.
But I only do that once for testing, there is really no reason to play 1080p video in a phone which is only 480p.
Play 1080p in a Full HDTV instead

U meant the 1080p video playing on SGS-2, the graphic is very poor?

When objects moving fast, can u see pixels?

Thanks.

I've tried a series in 1080p few days ago, it worked great! But just like xsaintzx, dont think will watch Full HD on the fon.

No prob.
