****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

[rapid64k]

dual core and SAMOLED+ with face recognition is the undoubted way forward!

Dam straight. Been keeping my upgrade on hold since October 2010 even though i was given a HTC Desire as a replacement for a faulty phone

My only fear for this phone is the dreaded Kies it sucks!

Could this be the release date?

"Release date: March 4th, 2011
Price: £549
Source: The Samsung Galaxy S was prematurely outed by another online mobile retailer, mobilefun.co.uk. Since realising the error, the page has been modified, with the price now reading TBC and the release date replaced with "not yet available"

Hmmm looks like there may will be a second SGS2 based on the Tegra chipset. I read it somewhere before but this is the second mention of it plus the odd picture on another site of a HDMI output it may well be on the Tegra version.
Chances are the UK wont see it.

Alas if not for me been dyslexic I would be able to tell you.........so sorry.

Just messing with ya buddy...and yes i saw his name so well worth pointing out.

its makes me laugh how they populate all the homescreens full of samsungs crappy widgets - the layout is shocking and the dock is fugly. They should have at least had a nice colourful vivid wallpaper to show off the super display.

Agreed i hope we can drag all that gumph off the screen and set it up decent That chap on the stall dont know anything "is this 2d or 3d or 3d game"....."you judge" lol

Just looking at the specs between the Motorola Atrix and the SGS2. Looks like the Atrix will have better screen resolution and bigger battery.
I think that HDMI connection is not supported by the Samsung chipset as every tegra2 phone has the HDMI connection as does the Atrix.

Strange why Samsung didnt just use the Tegra 2 instead of their own chipset, this could be down to its better to use what you have then you can meet demand. I wont be happy when Samsung releases the Tegra 2 version in an other part of the world.

Dont forget about the Samsung face recognition software. but yes the Motorola looks A1.

 

[rapid64k]

"I believe the Cortex A9 was designed so one core can be power gated, but the Tegra 2 doesn't implement this"

This could be another trade off I guess in getting the SGS2 over the Atrix.

 

[rapid64k]

I could be wrong here but i think if you have a Tegra 2 chipset you get a HDMI output, and if you have an Exynos chipset then you dont get an HDMI output. Hence the photo with the SGS2 with HDMI and others photo's without! Just an idea.

 

[rapid64k]

The hardware does support HDMI 1.3, the production ready SGS2 could always include a HDMI port.

Maybe so but then wouldn't Samsung have to change their web site? Asi ti shows no HDMI out put.

 

[rapid64k]

ROFL yeah very true lol.

 

[rapid64k]

I bet we get the SGS2 quicker than we had to wait for the HTC Desire HD. Been keeping my upgrade on hold since september should be free ofr me

 

[rapid64k]

Anyone got any more info on the ability on the SGS2 doing this "You can remote lock, remote wipe, remotely control your phone - blacklist certain apps you don't want the thieves to have access to. And finally, see your device on a map."

Will there be some kind HTC Sence log on via the internet?

 

[rapid64k]

even if it doesn't there is software out there that does this for android phones (some require root) and it's not overly expensive

Yes i have seen them, but if its in house I would find it better to use.

 

[rapid64k]

This seems like a cool idea streaming T.V to your phone. Not sure if i would use it but seems cool. Click here

 

[rapid64k]

Thats very interesting, the pictures i saw it actually had an HDMI output. But that looks like a good deal.

Beats having two extra outputs i.e HDMI and Microusb.
