PhoneArena stacks up a preview Samsung Galaxy S II unit to demonstrate how the Galaxy S sequel takes the "thinnest smartphone" crown from the iPhone 4. We also compare it with the 0.39" (9.9mm) thick Galaxy S and showcase how remarkably thin it is, even next to the 0.37" (9.3mm) iPhone 4.
The Samsung Galaxy S II is 0.33" (8.49mm), which is less than even the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc, which is 0.34" (8.7mm) in its thinnest part...

Thanks... Nice find. Seems that they just got their test phone today. Will be looking over their sites for updated content.
My word, I played with an arc yesterday and it was amazingly thin, can't wait to see the Galaxy S II in person!

OP didn't day anything about his gs2 he is just sharing the information on a open forum. You shouldn't tell him what to do! I'm sure he is old enough to make his own choices.
and a lambo is faster than a golf...
xperia x has a different resolution so it has a bigger pixel density therefore the images looks better.
But, because there is a but, SGSII has better a better display, better blacks, better overall contrast ratio because of the super amoled plus display.
Next time gsmarena should try to compare comparable phones.
The S2 doesn't have a 720p resolution. When SAMOLED HD+ is released, then that'll be a fair comparison (ish)
Compare last years device to one barely released this year. Newer device has slightly better display than Last Year's device. Massive Woop!!! I AM TEH SHOCKED!!

That's all guys! Enjoy the read
is only slightly better than Note 2's non-pentile 720p display.
As a former Note 2 user, I tell you this:
To avoid further disappointment, please do not compare it with iphone 5's display.
Thank you Samsung!
As a current Note 3/Note 2 user, I completely disagree.

As a former Note II user I think you're out of your mind.
Here's text from both.

Here's a detailed review from DisplayMate who makes the equipment all OEMs that use displays in their products use to test them.
The Galaxy Note 3 has the newest generation of OLED display technology. The Lab tests show that it is better than the Note II in every measurement category, and also comparable or better than the display on the Galaxy S4. It has double the resolution of the Note II, which is a major improvement, but the most impressive advancement for the Note 3 is its significantly brighter screen, which hits an incredible 660 cd/m2 in high ambient light, the brightest mobile display we have ever tested in the Shoot-Out series. An impressive achievement for OLEDs!
OLEDs need to continue improving their power efficiency, which is critically important for mobile displays. We measured an impressive 26 percent improvement in power efficiency between the Galaxy Note 3 and Note II. While LCDs remain more power efficient for images with mostly white content (like text screens, for example), OLEDs are more efficient for darker content because they are emissive rather than transmissive like LCDs. In fact, Galaxy Note 3 is already 31 percent more power efficient than the Full HD LCD Smartphones we recently tested for mixed image content (that includes photos and videos, for example) with a 50 percent Average Picture Level, APL. If this keeps up then OLEDs may pull ahead of LCDs in total power efficiency in the near future…

You talking about the same iPhone display they've had 4 years straight now? You need to get your eyes checked my friend.

Everyone please, compare it with the iphone screen.. Samsung will come out on top.
Must be half blind. I see a big difference between my note 2 and note 3.
As a former user of many phones the iPhone 5 being one of them. I'm not sure you know what you are talking about. The note 3 has probably the best display I have seen.

Why don't you return your Note 3 and get an iPhone then? I don't understand the need for this thread besides trying to annoy everyone who is enjoying their recent purchase.
dude its makes the note 2 screen look like a piece of ****. no more black crush. and clear. theres def something wrong with u lol
OP, post a time stamped pic of your Note 3 and Note 2 preferably.
I think someone is trolling......
Dude is dumb. Girlfriend has the iphone and I have note 3 coming from note 2. Firstly compared to note 2 it's like comparing ps3 to Sega Genesis. The crystal clarity of the 3 awws even iphone users. My girlfriend realized (after looking at my phone) there is not a thing that her phone does better than mine.

Guys time to move.
shall i stay with samsung and from s3 to s4 or sony xperia z1.
really awkward s4 got all the feature but lack the premium feel(z1 has good feel)
but z1 iv heard of bad viewing angles and screen build issues(is this true)
which once better for long term s4 or z1 update wise.
uk prices amazon cheapest for s4 and z1( prefer in purple but not got a decent price)
also phone case any decent like otterb ox for booth devices
thanx for the help guys
Why not considering HTC One ? It's almost the same performance as the GS4 and great premium look.
hey guys i have a question again,
btween the samsung galaxy s6 + edge and sony experia z5 premium witch is beter to get?
i mean samsung is nice but i beleve its not able to root and custom firmware / rom yet right ? bcuz the Exynos

I am a major fan of the flag ship Xperia mobiles. My last Samsung purchase was the Note 3 and I was so peeved at the plastic metal and plastic leather, hell I don't know why they didn't use cling film for a screen. No way was I ever going to purchase Samsung again. Sony produce superbly crafted mobiles from quality materials and they feel superb in the hand as do Apple also HTC.
Comes the Samsung Galaxy S6 rang and I have bought the S6Edge then returned it for the S6 and now have the Edge+ As well as the S6. Top line specifications and micro engineered (at long last) like a Swiss watch and, I may add, for the price they bloomin well should be.
To the best of my knowledge the Z5 range are not yet released so can't pass comment. I would 'guess' it will be a superb mobile that will stand side by side with the S6 line and iPhone 6S. As I write this, flag ship models from HTC, Sony, iPhone and Samsung are all very VERY well specified and engineered. A major part of your choice will be the OS and aesthetics. 'The best' will be a relative term and in reality doesn't exist.

I hate any tft displays (amoled lover) beside that sony is a nice phone.
Samsung has root but no custom rom. Sony Z5 premium has neither. SD 810 has heating issues as far as I know.
both has ups and downs with me so i can't rly choose btween it from the specs and reviews
s6 edge+ down points:
battery only 3Ah (then again it should be on par with sony i think bcuz it has led instead tft with led backlight, though i always carry an portable charger with me so it should do the trick)
display not 4k for an 5.7" screen
no microsd card
only 25gb of 32gb usabel internal storage (no clue why they use 7gb for other ****)
slower gpu vs snapdragon phones (from benchmarks)
s6 edge+ up points:
led screen (witch i love bcuz it shows true black and white and it doesn' t break as fast as tft)
large 5.7" display
wireless charge
nice design
fast cpu/ram (from benchmarks) and less heating
4gb RAM
sony experia z5 premium down points:
the cpu heating as mentioned
why only 3gb ram ?
no snapdragon 820 (witch could be beter for this phone bcuz 4k screen)
tft screen witch can't perform true black images
4k on an 5.5" and only for movies and pictures -.-
sony experia z5 premium up points:
4k screen (altough for movie and pictures only)
2 days with no charging (yeah sure only the 1st 2 charges)
micros sd upto 200gb
nice design
water and dustproof (don't try it to trow it in the water or it breaks)
good audio (well i assume it still has since the walkmen phones)
faster GPU then samsungs (from benchmarks)
more ppi then samsung
beter battery then samsungs
all this is kinda , if i could merge the phones together make 1 good phone from it
i think i go for samsung since it has 75 euro cashback now also i loved the galaxy s3
i don't know how sony experia z5 premium is but the specs don't realy fit together, specialy the 4k screen and 3gb ram , the screen is kinda worthless for daily stuff untill you view pics or watch movies
as for samsung, im struggeling bcuz of the gpu performance, no sd card, weaker battery, but can use an otg if need but that is all extra work and power drain
hi
You should think more about the experience when you hold the s6 edge+ with the z5 premium. Before edge+ i had a xperia z3, the only thing i miss is that the battery life from sony devices. Moreover, xperia z series run almost original android so you have nothing to play, but the edge plus does. So my oppinion is the edge plus. Sorry for my pour english.
