[Galaxy S II General] Leifen88:
I can't find anything informative or new here...

People asking for NFC? WTF? We've known this for a fact since January, before the official announcment.... Just as we knew of the dual core....

These are the only solid things he's said:

Things I can confirm

Tv out (...)

Hdmi out (No, HML, we know, we all know, there's no doubt.)

Amazing camera even for macro. (Well... I've seen GSMarena too, awsome pics!)

Super smooth and future OTA updates. Will post more son but please ask questions. (Of course it is!)

I would love to post pics but I hadn't got privileges yet. Maybe an administrator can help?

(ORLY? Post us the broken one plz, the second I'll see it, I won't be sceptic at ALL! :-) )

Summery UK model

Launch date may 1st (Still needs to be confirmed, but this is highly likely)

1.2 Ghz exnyos processor (Also confirmed, but not untill after it was official)

Super amoled plus screen (Just as the dual-core, we knew this since december (might even say since SGS came out) )

1gb ram (It's in the official specs, duh...)

16 or 32gb varients (ORLY)

Working GPS (You kidding with me? Does it really?)

Tv out 3.5 jack (mirror) (I had this on my N95...)

Hdmi out via mhl cable (full mirror) sold separately (This is probably the only thing I haven't got confirmed yet, but it's still highly likely)

Better screen= better battery management (Close to the only actual significant improvement on the screen, so of course it is!)

Battery lasts around a day and a half with average call useage and heavy emailing and browsing (I could say that too, no problem at all! :-) If you use it longer, you have less usage, and the other way around)

HD voice compatible (Something new, plz.)

NFC ready (I've said enough)

Gingerbread 2.3. 3 (Wow, it's the same as announced?)

Back cover is textured like the galaxy ace, has much better grip feels premium and no longer cheap (Yeah....)

So this was my first.. I acctually created this user simply because of my eager to answer in this stupid thread. I like the Norwegian site Amobil better, as they actually could confirm EXT4, which these guys couldn't.

Can't link, since it's my first post, but it's on the forum, and i think it's linked earlier :-)
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Im glad people started asking questions about how real all this is :D

I was afraid I had some weird trust issue lol. Seriously though, I'm happy to hear all this 'perfect news' about the Galaxy S II, almost sounds like a Samsung Employee trying to make a sale xD I'm sure the Galaxy S II will be kick ass. But until this guy comes with more proof he actually has one, I wont base my purchase on his info. I mean, anyone could say all of this, right?

Edit: like the guy above stated, all these facts about screen, processor, RAM, camera are known. All we can learn is 'How is the build quality', how does the TouvhWiz UI perform on your device', 'how is the battery life' etc. And he may say these are all 'GREAT', but for us (or at least me) to believe that you will need to PROOF YOU OWN ONE. Which imo, these pictures don't.
[Galaxy S II General] ecooce:
Super smooth and future OTA's, doubt that the OTA's will be timely...
[Galaxy S II General] thyttel:
No matter what this phone is my next phone. Don't think Ive looked forward to a new phone in years like I do with this one............
[Galaxy S II General] mdmar:
Donkey, troll, moron - ur pick....
[Galaxy S II General] Leifen88:
In deed, I decided to get the next flagship after Galaxy S allready in the autumn. The fact that it turns out as super as it does, is just plain awsomeness! :-D
[Galaxy S II General] thyttel:
Even if half the rumours and features I've seen so far is true this phone will out perform my wildest expectations already.

Im 37 but feel like a 6 year old right now waiting for Christmas Eve
[Galaxy S II General] FNTOG:
Same here and I'am even older. Hope the USB OTG will make it possible to leave my notebook at home.

This machine has all I ever wantet since I bought my first pocket pc. A dream come true :)
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Why?

He is entitled to an opinion just as you are yours.

Just because it does not fit in with your logic does not make him a lesser person.
[Galaxy S II General] bonganza:
Likewise, I'm still on a crappy Nokia 5800, was initially waiting for the non-existant N9 as I wanted a keyboard, now i realise that the compromise is too great so started looking at Android - then this came along. I have my readies for this one. Looking forward to several step changes in phone experience. Sad I know, but why not...
[Galaxy S II General] CloudStrife86:
I've been checking this thread, GSMarena, PocketNow and Engadget pretty much endlessly (save for food, football, work and sleep) for any information I can get.

I the last time I had this mindset, was transfer deadline day 2008, when Man Utd signed Dimitar Berbatov: I was checking BBC Football, Sky Sports website and watching Sky Sports news all day until the window shut at midnight.

Needless to say, I'm supremely excited about this device.
[Galaxy S II General] -Vimes-:
Original poster is a Troll, cant belive you guys cannot see it. I guess you all want to belive that its true too much.

Its like going into a religious forum and start trolling that you met Jesus or had a chat with God himself.

Why don't you just bugger off back to amobil then?
[Galaxy S II General] MustWarnothers:
This may be a dumb question, I actually just signed up for XDA (was a lurker) BECAUSE of this thread...

The rumors seem to indicate that the US and UK versions of this phone will be the Exynos, with the other markets getting the Tegra 2.

Since this seems to be a UK leak, does that seem to point to a very high possibility that the US will also see the Exynos version?

Tegra seems solid, but the Exynos seems to have a unique quality and some kickass browser Javascript/Flash performance.

There is one video floating around from gsmarena showing buttery smooth browser performance, and very smooth flash video performance within the browser.

I can't go 5 minutes without double checking this thread for more information, I'm so amped about this phone.
[Galaxy S II General] renegade1488:
haha this is EXACTLY how I feel! :D
[Galaxy S II General] erahk64:
There is info from Samsung that several countries in Europe + India will get Exynos version.
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
You can probably expect to see the sAMOLDED+ with Exynos version in countries like UK, France, Germany, The Netherlands.. Italy, Spain..Sweden and what's up there? The big countries :) The Super AMOLED Plus screen and Exynos processor are what make the device, with a simple S-LCD screen and Tegra 2 I might as well buy HTC's next flagship.

Edit: Ah what I feared :( Somme comments on GSMArena seem to indicate the Device feels 'cheap' (for such am expensive device). I was afraid of this, 116 grams is very light which automatically makes the Galaxy S II feel 'cheap'. Off course these comments aren't to be trusted 100%, but still :(
[Galaxy S II General] WagTwo:
Am I the only one that dont give a rats arse about the design of the phone?

As long as it is not thick and toooo big I'm happy.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
I will start praying in the morning and ask to let this be the worst news we ever hear about SGS2. :)

You will buy a silicone case most probably. Just stuff some flat and heavy counter weights under it.
[Galaxy S II General] Alpha Trion:
+1

Me too, I don't have an issue with plastic or lack of 'premium materials'.

I just don't want a heavy brick.
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
I would rather have a beast of a light phone than a beast of heavy phone.

Its like saying because its so thin it makes it look cheap.. and you would rather have a 12mm phone.
[Galaxy S II General] buttes:
I can't believe a phone being light can be considered a negative now. You could probably tape a small lead weight somewhere in the battery area to make it heavier if you wanted.
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Haha, I see where your going.

Look, I don't want a heavy phone. In fact, that was one of the reasons I sold my HTC HD2, over 160 grams. Now my current Desire is around 135 grams, which is a perfect weight. I like light, just not TOO light. Sometimes being light makes them Phone's feel like toys. Just like my BlackBerry Bold 9000 did xD
[Galaxy S II General] touness69:
+10

was about to answer the same thing
[Galaxy S II General] apwhitelaw:
Specs seem to be showing 116 grams for S2. Might be too light, who knows. But I'll probably end up getting a case so it'll all be fine. I think I just want one of those little gel kinda cases that you can easily slip on and off.
[Galaxy S II General] Tennis11:
Get a TPU case once they make them, they're good.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
ZAGG would do this shiny beast some good justice. :)
[Galaxy S II General] netnerd:
just want to be clear, i agree with you.

lighter = more comfortable to hold!

why do you think people paying a premium price for eyeglasses made with lighter materials? so it' more comfortable to wear!

i currently using htc inspire 4G, that phone is heavy! i buy a phone based on what it can do (performance), not to show off how heavy or how cheap the phone looks!

i used to have samsung captivate (galaxy S), my gf said this "i love this phone! it' so light!"
[Galaxy S II General] Halabeaster54:
ehhh after all of the problems and headaches with the first gen (captivate) im sticking to htc and getting the evo 3d or pyramid. If this doesnt have a locked bootloader and all of that fun stuff then i'm gona get it.
[Galaxy S II General] Halabeaster54:
false: htcs next flagship has a dual core 1.2ghz snapdragon with a 3d qhd screen
[Galaxy S II General] virussnake:
and really bad design :D
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Agree....

HTC makes great phone but the EVO 3D looks like crap from the back. The front is the same old generic HTC look.

The Pyramid looks fantastic from the front as well, but that rear is making me feel that its trying to hard to grab your attention.
[Galaxy S II General] marvinloess:
thanks for this review!

i will get one (upgrade) :)
[Galaxy S II General] ljwnow:
On clove's website, the specs page says that the 3G band is 900/2100. Is that correct? I thought the 3G freq. is 850/900/1800/1900. If it is 900/2100, we couldn't not use 3G in the US>....
[Galaxy S II General] chizzwhizz:
ummmm i hope this is just a mistake on clove's part...
[Galaxy S II General] FLAC Vest:
This is crazy; thanks for posting your thoughts and pictures man.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Believe what you will but I really fail to see where all the excitement is.

There is nothing added that we have not already heard of.
[Galaxy S II General] BeeDubs:
Hows the SIZE of the phone versus original SGS? Noticeably larger?
[Galaxy S II General] ljwnow:
It would suck if it only has 900/2100.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
The SGS II everyone here is ranting about is the I9100, this is a version that will not be released in the same form in the United States. A previously demonstrated, the US Carriers will modify its appearance and hardware specifications to taylor their business needs.

T-Mobile will have its own version for network compatibility and the AT&T will have its own.

Speculating of the carrier bands now on this variation will not answer any of your questions.
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Uhm, I think you misunderstood ;) I didn't say HTC's flagship will have Tegra 2 and a simple S-LCD screen. I said IF I have only the choice to buy the Tegra2 + SLCD version of the Galaxy S II, I would buy the HTC Pyramid/EVO 3D.

Galaxy S II (Exynos + sAMOLED+) > HTC Pyramid/EVO3D > Galaxy S II (Tegra2 + SLCD)
[Galaxy S II General] k1000716:
Has anyone actually asked Clove is this is an error?
[Galaxy S II General] Moskiitto:
Very nice comparison between LG Optimus 2X and Samsung Galaxy S II

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_vs_lg_optimus_2x-review-585.php

Seems like S II is much better than 2X :)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Good Review.
[Galaxy S II General] madpete:
Yeah and remember guys, thats the 1ghz version of the S2 they are testing.
[Galaxy S II General] DMD9:
MicroSDXC :)
[Galaxy S II General] erahk64:
Has anyone else than the guy in this thread mentioned that SGS2 supports MicroSDXC ?

I have not seen any info about that in previews or from Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] moparman:
Im skeptic..
[Galaxy S II General] uvaman:
Sorry guys,

but where our threadstarters go ? No words from them ^^ We want more more , pics anything :) Common folks you started this thread so keep it alive :)

Btw nice review. SII can be only better :)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
They are gone, more will come. Life Goes On.
[Galaxy S II General] MoonRaven:
Seems like you've got trolled.... For 26 pages long..
[Galaxy S II General] DMD9:
Wishful thinking I suspect, would be a logical addition but I can't find anything online to confirm it. I know I read about it somewhere but methinks it was in the early rumours that were circulating.

The perfect SII? SDXC, 2000mAh battery, USB OTG...

Shame we live in the real world lol

http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxys2/html/specification.html

Supports FLAC so it's a real shame there's no SDXC capability :(
[Galaxy S II General] Demiourgos:
Good that it HAS USB otg, so you can always plug your small yet roomy pendrive or 2,5" disc full of FLAC music ^^

BTW. Have you guys seen a Mini USB pendrive?

It would be supercool if there was a little pendrive like this one but with mini USB interface so it can be plugged directly into SGSII !
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
WOW, you stole the words right out of my mouth...
[Galaxy S II General] MikeyMike01:
I own that exact LaCie drive. I filled it with music and plugged it into the car stereo usb port.

Sent from my Captivate
[Galaxy S II General] Azdian:
Microsdxc !
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Are you asking or are you saying?

There are no MicroSDXC cards available at present.
[Galaxy S II General] MoonRaven:
Well I actually took a look at a retailer nearby, http://www.alternate.nl/html/produc...Opslagmedia&l2=Secure+Digital&l3=SD/SDHC/SDXC

http://www.alternate.nl/html/produc...Opslagmedia&l2=Secure+Digital&l3=SD/SDHC/SDXC

It is available but they have to order it for you. Very expensive though :)
[Galaxy S II General] BeeDubs:
Can you confirm whether or not Samsung will bring this phone with LTE to America?
[Galaxy S II General] erahk64:
That seems to be SDXC, not microSDXC.
[Galaxy S II General] DMD9:
Oops! My bad, that's what I get for trying to do 2 things at once lol. Agree it would be cool to have a tiny drive like that with MicroUSB connector, but still a pity no MicroSDXC.
[Galaxy S II General] DMD9:
This is what you mean, MicroSDXC, the same physical size as the MicroSDHC's we use now...not on sale yet.

http://www.basitali.com/2010/11/buy-sdxc-and-micro-sdxc-memory-cards-now.html

[Galaxy S II General] MoonRaven:
Argh you are right :)
[Galaxy S II General] touness69:
O.o

that's just insane

2TB in such size :eek: my gush
[Galaxy S II General] virussnake:
let this thread die already.... microsdxc compatibility is only mentioned here by two newly created accounts that have vanished after people started getting suspicious...
[Galaxy S II General] DMD9:
I agree, pointless to continue.
[Galaxy S II General] moparman:
Yes..but lets hope that somebody gets there phone soon and can get us som real info
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Which is what I have been saying all along.

.... and with over 60 'Thank You' votes as well... Now that annoys me, especially as I work hard to try and attain votes legally and above board so that they can then be converted and put to good use.
[Galaxy S II General] Hero Yu:
If you'd like you could take all the "thanks"away, it really didn't mean anything to me.... the original poster masumali is very enthusiastic about phones and i guess he'd thought it would be nice to share it with the community that loves phones. Was it worth the **** he's going through now? Hell no but he knew the risks. But hey this is just another thread, its up to you to to read it and make your own decisions.

Ethier way look forward to a fantastic phone
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
I feel sorry for him that he's going through some bad things because of that.

I hope he don't lose his job or even worse.
[Galaxy S II General] silverwolf0:
Who in god's name actually cares about their THANKS meter on a forum, especially a wild and unmodded place like XDA where a lot of nerd rage and sociopaths gather to bicker and flame about smartphones? It's only a tad better than boasting about post count or seniority. I could go create a thousand accounts and thank myself, and they wouldn't be any less legitimate, because this is the internet and these sort of things are already corrupt before even attempted.

And it is surprising when a person who can barely speak English (or affects in that manner) and talks in fragments and ambiguities is somehow given any credibility, like people just suddenly discovered the internet and everything is a new experience.

Here's a direct link to donate to Japan, no THANKS conversions involved.

[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
awesome thread, been following it all along, lots of useful info here, sorry about haters like beard who got his spotlight stolen by you, but keep up the great work!
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
All in all, a thread is meant to discuss points between the community members. If it is a pointless topic or a topic that deviates away from its originality, it is still to be heard by the community.

In either case, this thread had some good useful info and some not so factual. We learned and moved on.

Thanks to all for contributing to the conversation.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
I do, especially as each and every vote is converted into a charitable donation.

The vote itself means absolutely nothing to me but my Nurses use each one very wisely.

Never been a hater in my life, unbeliever yes. Also, nothing to do with spotlighting..... I am only saying out aloud what quite a few others are feeling.

Please, again tell me what is so awesome news here. I must have missed it in these past 28 pages.
[Galaxy S II General] Banner:
I cosign. This thread looked like a hoax from the beginning. And Hero Yu now acting as if his friend got in trouble over posting 3 blurry pictures with nothing new compared to what we had already seen on the internet and even this forum.

I can't actually believe many of you fell for it, it feels spectacularly naive to me. I haven't seen on single proof that we asked for. remember? benchmarks, screenshots of android version, proof of 1.2GHz processor? And you people keep asking them questions as if they would konw.. it's a pity's all I can say...
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Sorry, are you actually saying you think I believed any of this???

Did you not see some of the replies I very recently received just because I spoke out aloud in my disbelief.

I would be up with the first to congratulate anyone who came forth with 'ground-breaking' or incredible last minute news but even after I gave the OP several chances to explain the claims it was met with nothing but silence.
[Galaxy S II General] DKMIK:
Look at it this way, the phone on page one of this thread, is not a retail model it is every body's dream.;)
[Galaxy S II General] Banner:
Calm your horses. Cosigning means agreeing with a person. I am talking about the others asking questions to the two impostors.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
My sincere apologies.

The only cosign I know of is to sign a document jointly, or to endorse another's signature (as in for a loan), which on reflection is probably what you were implying. :)

EDITED: Spelling error.
[Galaxy S II General] StopSpamming:
A man's meat might be another's poison. :p

It might be NOTHING awesome to some seniors here,

but to others, it is simply awesome, and that was where the votes went.

Many would wish one day they can be as senior as you that even news

like this is no longer consider awesome. :D

Till that day arrives, as long as we are awed, we cast our vote as long as

we are given the right to do so. :rolleyes:

Thank you Beards for being so an active and critical poster here!
[Galaxy S II General] open1your1eyes0:
Wow, you skeptists are really merciless ganging up on two members like that and harassing them for proof of claims and then ridiculing their actions as trolling or PR stunts. Trust me guys, truth or false, the fact that you honestly expect any sort of proof is pretty sad. No one is obligated to provide anything for you, and if you don't like that, well it's not up to you. You should be happy that you hear anything at all in their regards. All you guys are debating about is minor details anyways, that everyone will be find out really soon. But seriously you guys should be feeling a little silly for taking all this so strongly. It doesn't matter if it's true or false as long as there are no more delays (which would be announced anyways). Let's not lose our heads over some phone details people. Be respectful to your fellow members and you might be lucky enough to get even more than you originally thought. A little patience and respect goes a long way. Trust me, I speak from several bouts of experience and I wouldn't say this if it didn't prove worthy to me in the past.

Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
My, my..... Well in that case as I am sure you and others will be very happy to read I shall take these aging 58 year old bones of mine and depart.

Sorry for thinking this topic was for debate, regardless as to what was brought to the table.

Do not forget though..... the OP brought quite a few comments and where a proportion of these comments required further explanation none were given (and I do not mean just my questions, as others asked as well). Hardly a basis for clarity and detail.

And that is why I remain a skeptic.

I shall be speaking with my good friend at Samsung on Monday to clarify some of the comments but do not worry, I will keep those comments well and truly out of this topic as no doubt there will be some of you who will see this as a continued attack on the OP.

Beards :)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Well Beards, thanks for your input and I look forward to you sharing some details with us after your conversation with your friend at Samsung.

Perhaps this device is so desired by many that it has put people on edge. Irrespective to this "debate", I certainly look forward to conversing about its features and functionalities.
[Galaxy S II General] Banner:
It's all about truths; If you barge into a forum with claims, make sure you can back them up. From your post, I gathered that you don't mind being fed lies and live in happy lala-land, but most of us come looking for actual real-life information about a product we're contemplating buying.

Don't lash out at people asking for proof of veracity, that doesn't really make sense.

I'm not trying to start a feud or anything like that, this is just me expressing my mind concerning not believing everything written without proof.
[Galaxy S II General] Beautyspin:
Same here. Still on my 5800 and desperate to change. Cannot wait too long if the phone does not come to India this month.
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Do you think that SGS 2 might come with Signed/ locked bootloaders like Tab (some SW updates)?
