Im currently looking into getting a new phone, id basically like top of the range, probably android, would that be the Galaxy S2? And are there any announcements coming out soon?

Depends what you want to do. The fastest phone is the Iphone 4s in a lot of areas. Any one of the up coming OMAP 4 andorid phones are fast as well.

Do you have a link to that, sounds interesting.

Its part Ios5 and part the GPU which is over twice as powerful over what you get in other phones. Even with IceCream sandwich it will have twice the raw power in GPU powered stuff.

ICS has full GPU Hardware Acceleration, Gingerbread only has partial acceleration.

Cheers, ICS sounds promising

Overall, the iPhone 4S is likely the 'fastest' (in use) due to iOS but Android devices aren't exactly slow.

It really depends what you want to do on your phone?

The Galaxy Note has the fastest benchmarks that I've seen so far on an Android. If you can't deal with 5.3" though, the SGSII for sure. (Or maybe wait for the Galaxy Nexus)
