25th May event is 100% confirmed. I've seen invites for it. Regarding availability, a few dealers in Delhi/Mumbai have also confirmed availability within 2-3 days. How much we can trust dealers, that's up to you to decide :P
[Galaxy S II General] JSAHITA:
I was the one who bought maaru nx at this forum but I don't believe this dealer one bit because he just creating market hype
[Galaxy S II General] mahistuffs:
Has any dealers from Chennai / Hyd / Bangalore confirmed on any similar availability ?
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
AFAIK, only Delhi, Mumbai dealers have confirmed.
[Galaxy S II General] gurdeepsj:
Finallllllllllly

some good newz!!!!!!!!:o:o:o:o:o
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Till now Delhi & Mumbai only my friend...but if SGS 2 launches tomorrow,it'll be available all across India{atleast major cities} very soon
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
And that would fall under the May / June launch time that the BS Twitter Account was saying, also the news channels.
[Galaxy S II General] ankydu:
Important !!!

People please dont fall for another rumor and get disappointed later on. Do you all seriously think samsung will host a event tomorrow and invite just a few limited people without anybody in the rest of india know about it, well atleast i sincerely doubt it.

If you all recally it came in the newspaper about the sammy event on 13th april much before around 1st of april, again do you think sammy will keep this event secret, i dont.

Still, just to reconfirm I called up a few dealers in delhi and all of em are saying sometime in june. These are the same dealers who were once confident of a definite release date and later did not have a clue about it. Probably they are also disgusted with sammy like us for not giving any concrete info.

Even online sellers like flipkart and infibeam dont have a clue.

Also one common fact among dealers across India who claim a definite release date is they dont have the exact price, so i guess their claims cant be trusted unless sammy says something officially.

Even the so called samsung official twitter acount was saying month end, and now its the month end and they ve stopped answering the sgs2 queries, that doesnt give any hope either.

So all we can do is sit and speculate and prey to god and sammy to launch it as early as possible !
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
Fonearena has also confirmed May 25th India launch

Thanks you all for the information. Even Fonearena has confirmed May 25th launch on twitter. http://twitter.com/#!/FoneArena :D :)

[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:
Lol...i just hope their source of information is not this forum :)!
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 TO LAUNCH IN INDIA TOMORROW ON 25TH MAY,,,,,,,,,,,,,,hurrayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy:D:D:D:D:D

Hurray.Fonearena is like Indian engadget..............I am taking this monster tomorrow,right away
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
:-D Yes I hope so too! :)
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
The event is confirmed people! I know a lot of blogs etc who are covering it. So its just a matter of WHEN the phone will be available in the market. We will only get to know that tomorrow!
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Also, as far as my sources go, it's going to be priced < 30k :)
[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:
Any idea where the event is taking place? Is entry by invitation only???
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Yep, invite only event! Would've gone, but it's my birthday tomorrow :D
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
Thanks! So looks like the end-May launch news what we had been hearing for sometime now was true after all. :)
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Yes, launch is happening tomorrow. But market availability, no one knows :(
[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:
I agree with you!! the price would be below 30k. Samsung reduced the prices of Galaxy S and Nexus to make room for S2. Also with LG phone priced at 26k and iphone4 officially priced at 32k in India (now you know what variables Samsung is talking about when asked for releasing its price), Samsung would have to price this phone between 28k-31k!!

Lets wait and watch now!!!
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
What's the next best thing to hear after the news that SGS2 is launching tomorrow? - It might be priced under 30k. Great! Thanks again!.... fingers crossed!! :)
[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:
Another blog post confirming the event tomorrow:

http://mobigyaan.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-launching-in-india-on-may-25
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
iPhone 4 and SGS2

Things are starting to be more clear now. Perhaps Sammy was waiting for clarity on the iPhone launch to see what price is it being launched at. Now since iPhone 4 launch is confirmed Samsung has made its move and cleared the way for SGS2 launch as well and probably at a price lower than iPhone 4. :D
[Galaxy S II General] shreyskywalker:
Another blog has got an invite & confirmed the event..

http://androidos.in/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-s2-launching-in-india-tomorrow/
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
CHEERS!

Finally! It will be available to dealers across India starting this weekend! The good thing, the beast is confirmed to launch tomorrow, May 25th, 2011! Thank the lord, Hallelujah! :)
[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:
So it wont be available tomorrow itself??? We have to wait till the weekend?? Damn....wish I had an invite to the event!!:mad:

Edit: Does anyone here know how I can get an invitation for this event?? Is it possible to get one?
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
you will get it by 27th,cheers:D atleast its better than that 10th june date:mad:

Now let's have a price game......

I am saying that SGS 2 will be priced at Rs 31,000:D:D

What others think regarding the price?
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Great if it is available from this week itself.!!
[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:
Rs. 29,990!! Trust me....iphone4 releasing its 16gb version for 32000 will be a big factor in pricing S2!! You and I know that this phone is better than iphone4, but the average user out there sees iphone4 as the ultimate fashionable phone....thus if S2 is placed at the same price as Iphone4, chances are it may lose out! Rs.29999 seems to be the most appropriate price!
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
My price 31K.
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
Around 28,500... Lets see...
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
ok,so far it is like this

TJ {that's me} -- Rs 31,000

angynagpla -- Rs 29,990

shaik786 -- Rs 31,000

virani -- Rs 28,500

Let's see what happens tomorrow
[Galaxy S II General] hacksome:
:( I am one of those fools who ordered through eBay (ShopYourWorld) for 37K. The moron seller is yet to ship the friggin phone. :( .India edition is slated to even have NFC unlike the UK ones.

Lesson learned: Patience is a virtue. Never pre-order anything online. Buy only if physical stocks are available with the seller.
[Galaxy S II General] mahistuffs:
My price would be Rs. 30,990 ;)
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Competitive Pricing, anyone?

It think it will be Rs.29,990, considering that this device will attempt to directly compete with other dual-core phone, and yes, the single-core iPhone 4. - Cheers! :D
[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:
Lol I also wanted to post 29990!! It skipped my mind that companies no longer use the *999 technique....instead they go for *990!!

Hey android_master....can you please change my prediction to 29,990 :)!!
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
ok,so we are getting more response

TJ {that's me} -- Rs 31,000

angynagpla -- Rs 29,990

shaik786 -- Rs 31,000

virani -- Rs 28,500

mahistuffs -- Rs 30,990

arjun90 -- Rs 29,990

When is the Samsing Galaxy S2 I9100 officially to be launched in the Indian market?

Will it be a the original Super Amoled plus exnosys 1.2 GHz version or a stripped down version?

I'm tired of the rumours and the information from the samsung mobile India facebook and twitter accounts seem to be more confusing.

So,Please respond this mail as quick as possible.

Hoping a better customer service.
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
28,990

The Good news is Flipkart is updating their Galaxy s2 page with the price details soon

And let me join the price speculation ... I say it's damn 28,990 without the dock and may be 500 extra for the Dock :)

Even it may be priced under 28k i hope (Inner instinct)

Lets see :)
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
I've heard 29,990 as the launch price :)
[Galaxy S II General] gurdeepsj:
i guess 28,590/-
[Galaxy S II General] gurdeepsj:
last time when i bought Omnia HD it was for 28,000 but after 4 days it was for 25,990 for 1 day then again it got higher!!!
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Also, the event starts at 12:15 PM tomorrow.. I'll keep you guys updated :)
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
The word from a dealer in Mumbai is it should be sub 30. So my guess 28.5K
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
any website where you can follow it live ?
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
No.. I'll be following a few people who will be covering the event..
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Thanks for the information.
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
My guess for the launch price is Rs.34-35k.

I dont see how Samsung can price it below 30k. But if it does I'd be just as happy as everyone :D Hope thats true.
[Galaxy S II General] hacksome:
@sethrishi is live tweeting the event along with @MobiGyaan. The #GalaxySIIIndiaLaunch hashtag will be used for the event related tweets.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
***CAUTION***

Okay, between Rs. 28,000 and 29,200 Rupees. Who wins? We will find out tomorrow. By the way, Online Retailers are reading our comments as we post. We all are indirectly speaking and requesting those online stores to price according to our desires. Please refrain from posting random thoughts as this may prove lethal to the pricing and availability of our beloved Galaxy S2 in India! ;)
[Galaxy S II General] blackheart2925:
My guess around ..32k and availability by weekend or Monday in bangalore...

Btw we Indian users seem to have hijacked this thread hehe :-) don't see any others responding here
[Galaxy S II General] hacksome:
haha.. the market prices are not fixed based on random thoughts on a random thread !

There are so many market variables involved. Forum posts are not one of them!
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
Then i hereby ask them to do eiether of the following

1) Price it around 19,990 :)

2)Price it to your desire even as 36k but do let the participants of the thread have a mobile each for free :) for helping you guys :)
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Haha, good one! I'm thanking you for that! - Cheers! =p
[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:
Nah....with iphone4 priced at 32k (official version in India for 16gb as disclosed yesterday), it would not make sense for samsung to price it over 30k! I wont be surprised if we get a leather case as well with the product ;)!
[Galaxy S II General] hacksome:
The hashtag for tomorrow's event has been changed to : #GalaxyS2Ind
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
Ooops... Wait is the entire news false???

is this miss-interpreted???
[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:
All the blogs covering the event have confirmed that they 'have' received the invites already and would be covering the event live :)!
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
just few hours left,it'll be one hell of a wednesday:)
[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:
Hopefully ;)
[Galaxy S II General] JSAHITA:
The price Samsung would quote would be mrp or sale price?. I think they will quote mrp 35000 the sale price would be discretion of the dealer
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
WTF??

http://www.tothemobile.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-coming-to-india-at-rs-33500
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
I would not spend that much money on a phone.. I will buy it after it price drops to 30k.. I am happy that its launching you guys will be giving your previous reviews for buying to me..
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
Means your reviews will be guide for me to buy and check for defects if any before buying...
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
Dont worry dude.. It won't be that much higher.

And waiting for price drop seems useless because i suggest the phone wont reduce the price (for whatever it launches) before 4-5 months.

ANd as Iphone is 32,000 as highest MRP SGS2 will be priced lesser than that and we can get it still cheaper with promotional offers and coupons of stores :)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Then they will certainly lose customers and the iPhone 4 might pick up the slack.

31k sounds about right.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Yes,thats exactly what i am trying to say SGS 2 will be launched around Rs 31,000.

Either you buy it or just cancel it,far bigger screen,far better screen,16gb onboard+sd slot,far better camera+nfc & all that you can not expect SGS 2 price to fall soon if price is your{i mean whoever is saying regarding price drop} criteria.

But seriously i am not expecting it to be >Rs 31,000:D
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
Thanx shylesh.. Lets wait and watch.
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
Actually so many mobiles in india get their prices dropped after 1 week of launch.. So I am just guessing if it will be launched above 30k then its price will be dropped to 30k soon provided launch price is no more than 32k.. If its above than that then its impossible to get the priced dropped at 30k level earlier... Lets just hope 30k btw I will not be buying this mobile before 10 june as my exams are beginning from tomorrow.. So will be waiting only...
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
A bit of news... Infibeam have confirmed availability by the 1st week of June, this means that if the device is announced tomorrow and stated as a launch of 1st June, the device for Infibeam / Warehouse will be available by 1st week of June.

Hope this can give you guys some hope that although we want this device now, they are confirming that they will have it by 1st week of June.
[Galaxy S II General] vu2ikl:
I think they will announce MRP to be same as iPhone 4. Cause they _know_ the early adapter will buy sgs2 anyways. And obviously the mobile shops will give discount after a month to settle for 29k.

Excited! 18 hours to go...
[Galaxy S II General] eRajesh:
I highly doubt Samsung would price the SGS II above the iPhone 4's street price. Also, I doubt the NFC version will come to India.

Samsung will aim at maximizing profits, and releasing the SGS II in India with NFC when no one has even heard about the technology here, sounds weird!!?
[Galaxy S II General] kannanX10:
exactly............i did spoke to my dealer and he mentioned that it will take 7-10 days for stock to arrive in retail outlets after its launch............

lets wait and see what happens tmr
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Ohh no..lets see tomorrow.
[Galaxy S II General] sajadkhan806:
i will purchase this phone even if goes above 34, but if it will be having slcd screen, then my offer price will be 1 rupee 25 paise [ vat included ]. i wish it will not happen otherwise i m not going for this phone.

and is there anyone who can explain wat is nfc chip. and why i m so excited for getting an s2 with nfc chip
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
For all certainty, it will not have S-LCD. Samsung wont crap on us like that, especially since there have been no indications of any regions to get S-LCD, why would India be the first?
[Galaxy S II General] dilipan:
I cant wait nemore..n i cant wait for prices to drop if it is more than 30k..i ll do widout booz n pizza addiction for some time,,dat ll help recover extra price for sure..bt no compro with this phone..n thanx god the wait is finally over..
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_1078:
had a talk with bn authorized dealer in south ex new delhi, said he will have it by 1st june n price would be 28k -30k
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
OMG! What the hell is this?

http://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobile/posts/187434337971877?notif_t=feed_comment

:(

samsung mobile responding to me :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
SO at most, they will announce that the device will be available in India by the 1st week of June. This corresponds with the "June" release.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
That's right, and many online stores will begin having it for pre-order by tomorrow itself. This is a very exciting time. - Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
Got back from Anupam store and talked with the Samsung Rep there and they still stand by their June 10-12 retail availability date (June 2nd week).

If this indeed happens, it will be fastest retail availability after press event by Samsung. Their last 2 big launches took 40 days and 30 days respectively for product to hit retail store after launch event. (SGS, Wave I and II )
[Galaxy S II General] mrigeshgaurav:
Monster is here!!

Already available on letsbuy.com for preorder.

:D
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
Yeah sema

http://www.letsbuy.com/samsung-galaxy-sii-p-16877
[Galaxy S II General] MrDpak:
Woha.. does the pre-order price from letsbuy.com mean that it would be a tad bit cheaper when it hits stores?

Booking Price: Rs 1,000

Offer Price: Rs 32,830
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Fantastic...

Arjun, I have spoken to my guy and he has some more updates. Give me a call when you get a chance.
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Nice pricing considering it has car charger, MHL cable and case :)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Is the Atrix available here in India?
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Oh boy…are they even going to be using the same CPU (Overclocked) or a completely new revamped processor?

As shown with recent benchmarks, Gaming was not good on the Mali-400 chipset.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Not yet, but prior reviews state that the phone is stuck with a limited bootloader from Motorola. I think this means you can't Root that particular phone and run custom ROMs.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Thats Shyt....
[Galaxy S II General] rich2011:
Really disappointing. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this phone, my contract ran out In January, my phone broke, so brought a £15 phone in the mean time, I don't want to wait any longer. Poor from Samsung, shouldn't have got my hopes up, don't know if I'll go for this now..
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Atrix is a ****hold,bootloader problem,,two point multitouch compare to 10 point multitouch in LG Optimus 2X.

I am getting Optimus 2X or will stay with my N1:D
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Thinking the same buddy... When is the LG Optimus 2X out?
[Galaxy S II General] TheWarKeeper:
sorry i dont understand, is the phone release date delayed untill june? is this official confirmation?

Its great news theyve oced the chip a bit, but will that delay the phone release date or what?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Well according to the Samsung Tweet (India), they stated that since the launch globally has been delayed, the phone wont be out until June.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Yes friend official confirmation..

For rest look at the very 1st post
[Galaxy S II General] TheWarKeeper:
i dunno in what country you live but in portugal LG Optimus 2X is already out, its called LG Maximo 2x

EDIT: Thanks for the answears guys, that delay for me is kinda bad news as i wanted to buy it but now im not sure im gonna wait that much time for it, prolly gonna get a xperia arc or lg optimus 2x, they both will be crap compared to galaxy s2 when it releases out but oh well...
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
It was announced yesterday in India.

1 of my friend in Lucknow{UP} has asked 1-2 retailers & they have told him that LG Optimus 2X will be available by 9th April:D..

Cheers,bring on Optimus 2x:D
[Galaxy S II General] rich2011:
Just don't see why people have started getting there hands on the devices, reviewers, people on here even, yesterday they said it was definitely being released in April, now suddenly delayed till June, if that was the case why did they put that tweet yesterday. Seems to me like something doesn't add up.

1st Stage Denial. Sure I'll hit plenty of other stages soon, Anger at Samsung perhaps ;)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Although LG does not have it mentioned on their site, I am not sure what to believe anymore.

All i know is I rely on my device for over 100 emails per day and a lot of calling (200 + minutes)

Aside from my faith in the launch of this device, I sold my iPhone and have already been provided the cash. I can give a few weeks of a delay to the guy, but cannot prolong it any more.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Man here is LG Optimus 2X india launch & prices:D
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Ok, I''m going to keep my fingers crossed for next month, the earliest. Why? Well the Samsung Mobile India Twitter account doesn't seem so accurate. I mean, come on, just yesterday it was announced the April would be the month. Samsung India tends to over-exaggerate things. May be another two weeks-5 weeks 'till official launch. - Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] rich2011:
Denial was my first thought to...

... Just know that I'll be waiting till Mid June now at the earliest, see acceptance stage is setting in. I reckon June 14th or something similar
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Official update from Samsung in facebook

Super news! S II processor, the 1.2GHz Galaxy (1.0GHz instead of the previously mentioned).

It is Samsung S Galaxy II, the fastest dual-core smartphone Gingerbread painting!
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
i want a Tmobile USA version!!! :(

AWS 1700+2100
[Galaxy S II General] Hero Yu:
Galaxy s 2 has not been pushed back to june.
[Galaxy S II General] MrDpak:
The site says 'HDML' Adapter.. lol.. not sure if it means HDMI or MHL oh well at least the phone is here.. :D
[Galaxy S II General] mahistuffs:
letsbuy intro page mentions free gifts worth Rs. 4769...does that mean S2 will be priced around 28k ?
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_1078:
How many of you are pre ordering??? and does letsbuy accept American express credit cards?
[Galaxy S II General] vu2ikl:
Guys have anyone of you got phone from letsbuy before. How is their packing? And service? I got last one from flipkart.com and was impressed. Plz give your feedback for letsbuy so i ll place the order :)
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
I'd suggest not to order yet.. Maybe the local dealers will get the stock before! Why lose 1k?
[Galaxy S II General] mahistuffs:
and moreover we can wait a day or 2 and see what offers are given by other sites.
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Exactly :)
[Galaxy S II General] vu2ikl:
Yes thats true but i hope stock lasts for us. Most of places its sold out.

Preorder FAQs

Hey guys can you help me know what is the benefit of pre-order? Do we get the handset before retailers? Are we assured supply?

Or should we just wait till it hits the shops?
[Galaxy S II General] ankydu:
Well letsbuy is the official online retailer for samsung, according to samsung website, so packing should be good. But as I see their prices are higher by about 1-1.5k from local dealers.
