[Galaxy S II General] Auzy:
Well of course more RAM physical RAM will make things seem less shuttery (thats the same on ANY platform). But that doesn't prove memory management is bad. How do you know the memory management is bad? I'm guessing you are one of those guys who thinks killing applications the moment you leave them is good (which it most definitely isn't).

Please explain what you mean by that statement... There could be a LOT of reasons why the SGS sometimes shudders (including using the wrong I/O scheduler).. Poor memory management imho would be running out of RAM when running applications, and that doesn't appear to happen.

Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 Specification leaks

Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 Specifications leaks

Finally some clear specifications of Samsung’s Android 2.3 Gingerbread flagship Smartphone the Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100) have hit the web the today. These specs are the courtesy of Samfirmware.com, who somehow managed to talk to Samsung’s “insiders”. The insiders have revealed that Samsung is working on two different display form factors 4.3 inches and 4.5 inches for two different devices and this is just not it, Samsung is also testing two different versions of the dual-core Orion processor, 1 GHz and 1.2 GHz.

Anyhow the specs that have leaked seems to be quite spicy and confirms that it won’t be a cheap one. The specs include Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system at the time of launch, probably a 4.5 inch Super AMOLED Plus display, an 8 mega-pixel camera with an LED flash, plus a 1.3 mega-pixel front facing camera, microSD storage for up to 32 GB and for connectivity NFC chip, Bluetooth 3.0 and the standard micro-USB slot and 3.5 mm audio jack.

Furthermore the source was unable to confirm anything over the design or color of the device but many reports are suggesting that it would be in black. And as far as its launch is concerned, maximum chances are that it will be announced in next week’s Mobile World Congress press event where more information on this device will be revealed.
[Galaxy S II General] Fuma:
thanks for this.

finally led flash,the sgs is realy suffering from the leck of that now.

but i think that 4.5" is a bit to big. 4" is as far as i'd go i think.
[Galaxy S II General] BlackDino:
Basically its missing dual mic and hdmi out.

I won't be buying the next SGS, this generation has been a pretty good device.

I wonder though, once this comes out if they will also be updating devices to 2.3 and the next generation of touchwiz.
[Galaxy S II General] Fuma:
4.5" is too big...an improved hardware with some new outputs like mini HDMI would do the trick . you could plug it to any big screen you want- doing waht you want- movies, web...

thats should be the aim i think- not making bigger heavier box to carry...i have a laptop for that...
[Galaxy S II General] eventidephoenix:
I'm really curious how the battery would fare :o
[Galaxy S II General] dadyal:
Single core then dual core then quad core what will i buy now : O_O
[Galaxy S II General] stepsch:
Bigger display will drain batterie a lil more. Hopefully they will use the more space in the ousing for a bigger batterie.

In sum I don't expect any changes in batterie life.

The only thing I am really missing is dual sim support. Unfortunately there is no discussion about this overall.
[Galaxy S II General] iammodo:
Sounds great to me 4.5" and 8.9mm thin lots of broken screens for me to fix.

[Galaxy S II General] bsamurai:
I feel reluctant to buy another Samsung Android phone without supercurio, Darky, Doc have theirs in the first place... :p
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Im pretty sure that both Doc and supercurio will have these devices even before mass market release!
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
In that case your basically saying Memory and Memory Management is poorly implemented on ANY andriod device since at the end of the day its the andriod kernel's responsibility to deal with such.

But I agree more ram is always better even for the added cost, if there is an S2 that comes with 1GB and 2GB of system RAM id gladly pay more for the 2GB version, you never can have enough ram.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
4.5" is pretty perfect if the physical size of the phone does not drastically increase
[Galaxy S II General] dnsp:
How long after its presentation next Sunday until its avaliability? Not sure if it's too soon to sell my SGS and begin to save some money.

Edit: Sunday, not Friday
[Galaxy S II General] iammodo:
that any better with macro mode
[Galaxy S II General] hiraj_panosian:
I think it will be a 960*540 screen, If it doesn't feature a 1280*720 i'll wait for the Galaxy S3 :D
[Galaxy S II General] epicfailguy2:
The people calling 4,5" a laptop are making me lol.

4"3 is pretty much the perfect size for an entertainment phone. And the sgs2 will be either 4" or 4.3" no more.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Probably a couple or weeks or a month after?
[Galaxy S II General] betoNL:
Not really.

Because it's using Android, it should have more available RAM than 339 MB and LESS( after startup) and even less on Eclair.

Playing with my wife's Desire HD (out-of-the-box) with android 2.2 and a heavier UI (htc sense) with more background activities, I can run the heavy iGo Motonav navigation app completely hick-ups free, without having the need to release manually some Ram before starting the program, like I do with my sgs.

Anyway everything is user and usage related, for instance I never needed to apply any "lagfix" / / /FS convertion on my sgs, while there are users that cannot use their devices without lagfix. And so on.

Furthermore this issue is off-topic. There are/were enough threads, in different Forums talking about the memory managment issue on the sgs.

Yes my friend it is a fresh 2.3 gingerbread
[Galaxy S II General] scorpeeon:
i think even 4.3" would be too big for me, i wouldn't really go past 4.0".. but 4.5" sounds ridiculous..
[Galaxy S II General] celeronix:
I would enjoy a big 4.5" quality display. Samsung definitely need to go to a bigger resolution since it's obvious that 800*480 is not good enough when you can easily see the pixels. And the battery will be probably 1650 mAh - the one from I9003.

Would be interesting to see what the dual cores drain from the battery...

iPhone design + windows Phone 7 interface?

I am okay with it :D
[Galaxy S II General] Maddmatt:
I'm sure this phone will be great and I'd love to have it...

But does Samsung not have any designers? The Galaxy S looks like a big iPhone 3G, and now this S2 looks like a big f**king iPhone 4.

Samsung, this copy-cat style of yours is lame. You earn enough money to design your own stuff.
[Galaxy S II General] ekerazha:
I noticed that too :D
[Galaxy S II General] madpete:
Looking at that picture, and bearing in mind that the screen is suppossed to be 4.3 or 4.5", how big is this thing?

I mean look at the gap between the the edge of the chassis and the screen at the top and bottom, it looks huge. I thought they would have worked to reduce this, given the increase of the screen size.
[Galaxy S II General] Logseman:
Yet another iPhone copycat which will sell 10 million units because of exactly that. Color me uninterested.
[Galaxy S II General] bsamurai:

[Galaxy S II General] Bytecode:

[Galaxy S II General] dnsp:
Higher resolution would be great. No Super Amoled Plus Ultra Mega Hyper can hide the big square pixels on an 4.3 screen.
[Galaxy S II General] iammodo:
why the iphone 4 look :(
[Galaxy S II General] ddeath:
Like what Maddmatt said, the first Galaxy S looks like an iphone 3. Now S2 looks like an iphone 4? Samsung really have no good designers?
[Galaxy S II General] dnsp:
They have, look at the Omnia 7, solid design and very good build quality. I hate the fact that they copy the iphone in their SGS line... really HATE this glossy cheapo battery cover.

Why did they keep the resolution the same as the Galaxy S.. The Atrix 4g is way better.

[Galaxy S II General] haloimplant:
The RGB samoled+ screen will still be an upgrade over the pentile screen on the SGS in terms of sharpness and quality. (Red is very noticeably pixelated to me on the SGS, not sure why but it seems the pixels are even easier to see than the blue ones, remember red and blue are a lowly 400x240) 4.3" inches is big though, I think 4" is ideal.

I'm hearing that the Atrix will qHD be a pentile screen? If so let's crunch the numbers...

SGS: 800 x 480 x 2 = 768,000 subpixels

SGS2: 800 x 480 x 3 = 1,152,000 subpixels

Atrix: 960 x 540 x 2 = 1,036,800 subpixels

So in the end an 800x480 RGB screen actually has more subpixels than a qHD pentile. Now that doesn't tell the whole story, the pentile tech does look better (for images) than the just subpixel numbers suggest (ie. 800x480 pentile is probably better than 640x400 RGB, or is it?).

Text is a different story. I've gotten used to it but I don't think I'd buy another pentile screen, the text just does not look that good especially when small.

Between this and the colours and contrast of samoled tech (yes it burns out a bit but who cares, maybe plus will be better?) to me it seems a slam dunk that samoled+ will be better than qHD pentile LCD.

Finally will there be some or many apps and games that are customized to the common 800x480 and won't take to 960x540 right away? Just throwing it out there.
[Galaxy S II General] hiraj_panosian:
how about the 960*540 screen of the HTC pyramid?
[Galaxy S II General] haloimplant:
Not sure doesn't seem to be much info out on that one. If I had to guess I'd guess it to be the exact same screen as the Atrix.
[Galaxy S II General] ijat91:
enjoyed :)
[Galaxy S II General] shorty083:
It's pretty crazy thin.

Hopefully no cheap plastic feel or I'll be afraid of cracking the phone in half.

Was thinking of maybe giving SE a new chance with the Arc, but guess I'll stick with Samsung.

RFS & RAM

Hi Guys

Hope they wont use the RFS ****ty file system, I have heard on another forum that gingerbread 2.3 does not support RFS so it will not be used

Why would you buy a phone with a singlecore processor in the era of the dual-core processor phones:D
[Galaxy S II General] Maddmatt:
No version of Android supports RFS. Samsung added it themselves, so that means nothing.

Anyway, after seeing some more pics of it I must say it actually looks pretty good. Not sure I'd be happy with the 800x480 resolution again though. I'll need to have a good look at a non-pentile 4.3 inch screen to see if I'm happy with the sharpness.

Potentially my next phone, depends what else comes out.

Hope this new SAMOLED Plus doesn't suffer from burn out as much.
[Galaxy S II General] shorty083:
Because for me when a phone is already fast and smooth, it doesn't need to go even faster. :p

Dual core is nice, but not the most important thing in a phone for me.

Besides, it has a slightly higher screen resolution, SE sound and camera quality is often a bit better then samsungs IMO,

and the Arc definitely has a nice look (no mistaken iphone identity).

And a few years ago, when their phones didn't suck so much or break down at the slightest touch,

I was quite the SE fan, so I still consider their new phones.

But this was before I knew the specs of the SG2. Now I'll probably just stay with samsung.

[Galaxy S II General] hiraj_panosian:
I was a SE fan too, k750i; w800i; k800i and a few older owns,

then SE came with X10i I bought it, unfortunately that was my biggest mistake ever. I bought a SGS gave my X10i to my sister. I don't think the Galaxy S2 looks as an Iphone, the SGS was a real Iphone clone. But look at the lg optimus 2x Speed, it looks quite the same as the SGS2. By the way the slightly higher resolution is nice, because of the 16:9 ratio.:D
[Galaxy S II General] dadyal:
it's few just mm wider (so plus)
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
SAMOLED Plus is said to be non pentile, I dont know if RGB layout has longer lifespan in terms of burn out but im guessing it will be the same since it is just the same screen technology with higher PPI ( unconfirmed ) and traditional RGB layout
[Galaxy S II General] mac-wac:
Quite disappointing, all the leaked specs promised more... Phone is nice, but it looks, as SGS, iPhonish. Where is the 4,5 inch 1280x720 display that I've heard so many times? Let's get our hands on it and see if it is evolution or just a small improvement ;)

Personally I probably won't give it a go and wait for SGS3.

P.S. Just courius, how much faster will it be that its older brother? Aside from display quality and RAM, rest of it is just numbers that probably won't show in real life.

P.S. I am already hearing this *****ing and moaning about quadrant scores when it is realeased xD
[Galaxy S II General] Chad_Petree:
if samsung LOVES copying apple so much the why dont they copy the retina screen and use a higher resolution than 800x480 :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
It may be faster in web browsing but in day to day usage where the apps sit in 1 core, its not gonna be any faster BUT its gonna have a better battery life which is offsetted by the 4.3" screen anyway/
[Galaxy S II General] dadyal:
did you buy phone to match quadrant score or to run apps more smoothly ??
[Galaxy S II General] mac-wac:
Every reasonable person buys phone that he/she expects to perform better. For some it's the smoothness of overall app/ui/games, for some benchmark scores ;)

No need to answer the question: Are you dumb enough to rely only on benchmarks as ultimate tool for describing awesomeness of the phone?
[Galaxy S II General] shorty083:
Had the k750i, w800i also and some others, but then the W-series got this problem with cracked buttons right through the middle.

Build quality just got worse, and the Xperia 2 was such a failure that it hadn't crossed my mind to buy a SE for almost 1.5 years now,

although I did give the x10 a glance.

Although I'm happy with my sgs right now, when I first bought it,

I didn't really like the look/model of the phone (aside from the gorgeous Samoled) and the tacky backplate.

But now that people around me have stopped commenting on my iphone lookalike, and replaced the backplate I've grown to like the looks of it more.

Still, when I see pictures of the SE Arc or SGS2, I find the Arc more aesthetically pleasing.
