Where is that from, is it real?

No, we all ready know what the bottom looks like (generic Samsung similar to the Nexus S)

I'm not sure if I like the capacitive buttons, they look a bit odd

Buttons looks so odd o.o and like really pixelated and just weird. But as a phone it looks really nice.

Oh, well, those 3 white buttons at the bottom.

I think they are softkeys. I'm sure CM 8 will allow customisation of it.

The three contact dots on the left should be at least slightly visible from the front view?

I call fake

They are like the Nexus One contacts, can you see those on the front view?

Apparently there are inconsistent rendering issues and that the side profile is upside down. So yeh, very likely to be fake.

edit:

or at least it used to be upside down

As far as I can tell it's real and my buddy hasn't emailed me fakes before.

edit: It's also on XDA.

Well, it looks like your buddy has just let you down for the first time then

Hum, maybe. Now seems like a fake trawling the net. Wonder how lose it is to the real thing?

TBH I would say that it is very similar to that just a few things the wrong way as stated on that article saying that it is a fake.

This seems real enough.

Also regarding those "Anonymous" specs.

There's currently only two 'dual core' SoCs playing nice with LTE atm, the OMAP 44x0 (Motorola Bionic) and the snapdragon (T-Mobile SGS2)
Both are clocked at 1.5GHz unlike Exynos which Samsung has maxed at 1.4GHz (note/tab 7.7) only the 32nm die shrink gets a 1.5GHz clock.

It's the OMAP4460 or S3 Snapdragon. Samsung will hold back the 32nm Exynos for a SGS3 sometime early next year

but if you sold your SGSII because you didn't like it then you will most likely be better off with an iPhone IMO. Like Robbo said try them in a shop when they're available.

Its not that i didn't like the phone, i loved the phone, just the OS and the widgets and everything was a total new experience and like starting all over again. Was overwhelmed!

however as much as i love android, and think touchwizz is quite zippy the s2 out the box has a lot of tosh on it! bloatware and painful apps/widgets.

on first boot up its quite overwhelming. pure android is a different experience, one i prefer.

Pure android is what i was hoping for but the bloatware and the rest of the crap put me right off.

DIABLO said:
Did'nt you have the SGS2 for like only 2-3 days? to be fair you did'nt really give it much of a chance.

That is true. I did only have it a few days but i just wanted something out the box that was the way I wanted it/was use to (like my 3GS). I missed the simplicity of Lockinfo and iRealSMS (wish android had apps like this!)

Robbo said:
About apps? You can't argue that Android apps are at the level of iOS apps, they most certainly aren't.

He means bigger than the iPhone (I think).

Yes, I mean a bigger screen on the iPhone- not the SGII. I love the SGII screen!!

The thing with the iOS is that it also has Cydia which is where the useful modifications are and a lot or resources to source these underground apps. This doesn't exist for Android.
Customisation is better supported in the j/b community aswell.

Dont get me wrong guys, I really want to move away from iOS and Apple- hence why i bought the SGII. Hopefully the Nexus Prime is the one!

Will hold off ordering the 4S until the 11th Samsung/Google event and see what it brings.

That image above is the real one, the one with the full frontal seems generated, albeit very well..

The 3 pins are for docks like the Nexus One

So much activity in this thread! the weekend can't come and go fast enough, weirdly!

muon · 7 Oct 2011 at 00:48

My SGS is showing its age now. Bought last summer, so over a year old now. The 329MB usable RAM really isn't great. This can't come fast enough.
