Once Galaxy flagship phones reach its quota..Samsung surely gonna release its sub-version. It happened on Galaxy S and also SGSII

It doesn't matter who launch first but who optimize it better. And i believe Samsung will optimize Exynos better since it's their own built processor.

Don't think so. Most probably A15 meant for Tablet or upcoming GNote 2...

Exynos 4212 quadcores is the best bet though it wont harm if Samsung smack us A15 Exynos 5212 dualcores as a bonus ~~LOL~~
Or who knows..we might even get A15 Exynos 5412 quadcores ~~whoottt
:::dreams on:::

It should be the other way around.
A15 is better than A9 :-))

Good decision :-))

Better wait untill all 2012 flagship phones laid on the table before pick your choice. Unless you have extra funds for buying more than one smartphone.

A9 Exynos 4412 is still new and un-used execpt by Meizu. GNote use A9 Exynos 4212 not 4412.

Samsung purposely do a late announcement as they intend to make a worldwide release including USA.
Not like Galaxy S and S2 where USA get the phone half a year later.

If i'm not mistaken..SGSII using 4210 dualcores.
GNote using newer 4212 dualcores.
The newer Exynos quadcores using 44xx. None had been used except Meizu. All these based on A9 while the latest Exynos A15 will comes with prefix.5xxx
52xx for dualcores while 54xx is for quadcores.

Dont worry..16 more days then we'll know how this new phone looks, names and specs. :-))

Official ICS for SGSII has been released long time ago. Only our country quite slow on receiving it. Better start yelling at SME..."where's our blardy updates.!??"

RRP2299 still okay with me IF it comes with HD screen, removable battery, 32GB internal storage, external sdcard slot and NFC. :-P
:::buy buy:::

Coming.!??
Gonna be announce on 03/05 then un-pack event on 22/05.
Most probably gonna hit market within two weeks after the un-pack event. BIG question is whether Samsung gonna release the phone worldwide or in stages..region by region o_O

~~duhh~~
2500mAH battery will be as thick as GNote battery. From what i heard SGS3 will be thinner than SGS2 so i dont think it's possible to put 2500mAH battery. As long SGS3 got removeable battery then the mAH is not that important as we can always get a spare battery.

I dont think he's anti Samsung. I believe he started regreting buying HOX already :-P

Well..the phone looks good to me. Still want to know the spec though. HD screen, removeable battery, micro sdcard slot and NFC features is a must. IF all that check then GAMES ON :-P

Most probably they just tampal plastic back cover. From what i heard it suppose to have ceramic body/casing. By the photos it sure not ceramic. Had to wait for May 03rd.

Hot is a subjective issue. Some say hot, some will say warm.
A few says very hot but others says very warm.
But to say very hot is wrong i think. Very hot means really hot. I'm sure S2 will malfunction if it become really/very hot.
I've done Stress Test on S2 running on 58°C for five continuos hours non-stop and yet nothing happen. The phone still working without hang, freeze or any malfunction. The phone feels warm though but other than that, it working perfectly.
The question is whether you feel comfortable handling a warm phone. Not whether the phone can handle the heat :-))

The HOX is good phone. If only it got removable battery and micro sdcard slot, i'm sure buying one now. Even my GNote cannot tahan my daily usage meaning i've to carry a charger if i'm using HOX :-)
