2nd that. I have two S2 in the house, very happy with it...no need to upgrade. Most current apps can barely take advantage of the S2 hardware. 2D games...1 Ghz single core can kaw-tim...and good 3D games only a few...I wait for Galaxy S5 baru upgrade...lol.

Exactly. The S3 does exactly the same thing as my S2...LOL. I thinkl for moderate users...RAM and internal storage more important. knowing Android jalat 2-3 tier partition storage (heard it's fixed in ICS...like One X..all apps can install in signle partition?), having small internal storage is a serious issue. Which is why i opt for the S2 when i buy my wife a new phone recently...main factor, huge internal memory...enough for apps, photos, sms etc without having to worry about external memory card and partitioning issue (some apps can't be move to the 3rd tier storage of the external SD card as it treats the 2nd partition like an external SD). Actually for her usage, One V enuff, but she dun like the chin design...(i gotta admit...fugly!) and the small internal storage.

One thing with HTC phone...internal storage damn kedekut and small...even previous gen top of the line phone like Sensation and XE...also very small internal storage.......Only One-X/ S have big internal storage largely due to the lack of a micro-SD slot.

When i upgrade from my previous HTC Desire->S2, largely becoz of the small miniscule internal memory issue. The 13GB (2 +11) usable memory in the S2 fixed all my problems...

Not really sure or bothered. But my XBOX360 can play Street Fighter X Tekken.

LTE nice...but Mareisha no LTE yet...i suspect here will launch model with no LTE to cut cost....then S4 will have LTE when LTE is available here and people forced to upgrade...more $$$ for Samsung....

The fact...it is IMPOSSIBLE TO OPTIMIZE the apps...because Android is just like PCs....thousands of possible hardware combination...not like iFong...one model only..

Think like this:
Android=PC Windows. iFong=consoles.

Console games always optimized, even with inferior hardware. PC games...high end hardware also useless when the games only runs in DX9.

Anyway, i yam not too concerned about HP games...only good for killing time while waiting for wife shopping...no need complex 3D games.......

PPi thing marketing gimmick...my old LCD 32" TV still 1368 x 768...still can watch nice 720p/1080p movies and looks great.

Unless you have 20/20 vision, it is not going to matter much to most people...800 x 480 on a 4" to 5" handphone already sufficient. 720p already more than enough. Fonts just keeps getting smaller...no point. Look at iPhone 4S ...3.5" what retina display rubbish...so darn small...yuck...

I've played enough iphone 4S to know about the retina display...fonts just too small, like HTC Sense (which finally have something to adjust font size in the new ONE series). My SGS2 only 800 x 480 or something. Lookls sharp to me. So blur nor pixellish (unless you zoom in max to photo). What difference?? LOL.

But on a bigger size gadget...like IPAD 2...really sucks...1028 x 768...10"?? Now that's blurred.

Nobody force you to buy the top of the line phone. You wanna buy latest Benz and expect to pay peanuts??

Samsung has phone for every price range....SGS2, SGS Advance, Plus, W, Y, Mini and dunno what lagi. What do you want to complain? Just buy one fits your budget. At least got choice, unlike fruity phone. One size, one model only and super high price. Look at 4S...dumb Siri don't even work in Malaysia....i used Skyi can ask for nearest McDonald...my fruity 4S friend facepalm liao....

The other day i surf net on my S2, then find the phone no. on the web page and just click on the number to dial and add contact to my phone book. My friend using Ipad and iphone so suprise....she said 'can do that??'...why ifong cannot meh??? Anyone can answer???

I've been doing that since HTC Desire!!!!

Minor or major depends on each person's definition. Some people think 8MP->12MP is big deal. Some think it's useless without bigger image sensor. Some think quad-core is hot. Some think quad core just sucks power and does nothing much.

So your choice really.

That's real S3? My S2 still looks hotter...

Doesn't matter....will not have improvement unless has increased image sensor size or better lens.

Smartphone cameras are for "good enough", not for serious photo shooting.

BS lar...8MP only....then use software algorithmn to create fake pixels...

What screen burn???? I use my SGS2 for hours games, no screen burn.

Phones have reached the near the top of the exponential graph in terms of advancement...just like PC graphics card....each new generation less exciting than the last....

The Smart Stay sound nice to have....but will it suck more battery with the camera keeps staring at you?? You guess.

All the new features are basically, nice to have, but hardly exciting or essential upgrade. But if S3 quality has less problem than HOX, than it can still steal the market share due to the popularity of the Galaxy series and hopefully solid quality follow up. IMO, quality is more important than any features or spec at this point. Everyone can slap a quad core in a phone. But not everyone can deliver a phone with minimal issues. HTC may stole the bragging rights, but with all the yellow tinting, screen curve issues haunting nearly each phone (just look at the HOX thread), maybe it's better to release a phone later with more quality assurance.

Motorola will be buy over by Google soon....They'll soon become the defacto Google phone standard.

Sell also hard...no value...."What? China phone?? Offer RM100!!!". At least, with SGS3, it has solid reputation and better market value in the long run.

Yeah, i know. But still no screen burn on my SGS2. Question was not about which better, but screen burn. Anyone experience screen burn on their SGS2 or GNOTE?

To be fair...S2 also got problems...the non-G version overheats quickly and sucks battery life faster than vampire sucks blood (LOL). That's why they release the G version (G for Good!!! LOL), with less heat and improved battery life.

But that doesn't stops the S2 from hanging occasionally and other problems, regardless of version.

Hopefully, they learnt their lessons, and S3 won't make the same mistake...but i can almost bet it'll hangs at least once bi-weekly....

Er...i don't think so....this phone more like SGS2S rather than SGS3...design nothing to shout about...SGS2 looks better actually.

Dunno for sure. Because Google also wants to make a defacto phone to showcase Android and leads the way. But it's possible also they'll sell to Huawei....and then have special contracts with Huawei to design Google phones at special price...
