Samsung Galaxy II seems ridiculously good :P - Galaxy S II General

Hey guyss i was just watching a video seconds ago and it has me really tempted to get it but im curious to try wait for the iphone 5 to see how it stacks up but this video seems amazing the speed and smoothness is godly
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvXzvHOEcCA
P.S if this video has already been posted sorry but man oh man is this tempting considering im currently a galaxy s owner and i only thing i didnt like was the GPS issues

Wow looks amazing..
I think im gonna use touchwiz this time too instead of launcher pro... looks well nice

Yeah it does look amazing + super fast response. I want it now

Sorry but I can't get used to that british accent lol. Some of the phrases he uses made me go, "What?"

And if he had used a better cam to record his review it would have been even more shocking how smooth and quick this beast is

Agreed. Still a decent little video. Everything I've seen come out in the past few days makes me glad I pre-ordered.

What makes you think it is just one week left? 8 days to May 1st, the UK release day, then around a week in transit. So two weeks, right?

My point was it would be more than one week, and you supported it
Re Fedex - what if the customs stop your package out of all, decide to open it, and then send you a bill for the customs fee? Such packages often spend extra 1-2 weeks at customs, and end up costing more to the recipients.
I have no info on the number of packages checked by the US customs though. I never ordered anything expensive from abroad. I bet the chances of customs intervention are very very low.

UGHHHH did you see that video?!?!?! WOOOO i couldnt help but get a huge grin a few times in that video.. its so freaking [email protected]#$ that we rule game looks good, is it available in the market now?

Looks very fast in that video, but in this video when its compared to the lg optimus 3d its dog slow, takes around 8 seconds to load the benchmark while the lg takes 1 second, could this be the dual channel memory advantage?

it could also be the pre-production model disadvantage. we will never know exactly what those pre prod models are doing and why they are so slow (relative to other dual cores PROD models). For sure Samsung has premature drivers on them, extra software that is logging everything for troubleshooting and performance follow up, etc. DO not even judge SGS2 by the pre prod models .

Lmao dual channel memory.. given that this LG has 512MB of RAM and that this "dual" thing means that it is cuted in two, there is not much left for it to shine vs the 1GB DDR2 RAM of the GSII...
it s just that it was a very early prototype of GSII, that's all story

Aren't they all prototypes? Even with paltry 512mb of ram that optimus 3d seems to load that game pretty quickly, almost too quickly you gotta admit that.

wow thank you for handtec link! I might actually buy it from there! thanks

Whats your favorite thing about the N1?

I get mine today, and I was wondering what is everyone's favorite thing about the nexus one compared to their old android device...
the speed. they did some amazing things with overclocking on the G1, but I love that my N1 runs silky smooth right out of the box.
I can't really compare it to my 'other' android device, since it's my first android;
However, my favorite thing is the extreme ease of navigation and installation of new apps from the market (especially browsing and downloading more apps before finished downloading current apps).
I also love the combining of contacts (all my facebook, gmail and SIM contacts are now joined and merged).
Thats good to know, so hopefully that means I wont miss the lag of my mt3g
Man I am excited... I wish FedEx would hurry up, its supposed to be here by 3, but something all ways seems to happen so, with my luck I think it wont be here till tomorrow lol.

[OFFTOPIC] SGS2 is a total disappointment... "Important" functions NOT working...

[OFFTOPIC] SGS2 is a total disappointment... "Important" functions NOT working...
I read about all the features of the phone, it all got me very excited but some things are not working...
First of all, it doesn't bring me beer when I use vlingo and say " get me beer"
Second of all, Crysis 2 is not running at all. Phone's not that fast..
Last point: I put my phone into airplane mode, threw it in the air.....
Worst transformer ever.....
The rest is working pretty damn fine, so its maybe not a total failure. What are you disappointed about?
First I was like "Hahaha.. NOT" but after a few seconds I started laughing at your post xD
I have not been blessed with a GS2 yet, still waiting. The only thing I could be disappointed about is: build quality/how it actually feels in (my) hands. Further the TouchWiz and Battery life are two things I am semi-worried, but you know TW can be replaced by custom launcher or ROM and Battery life should be decent with tweaks.

Build is better than it looks, but the same goes for the sgs1. Dropped mine once and nothing to see, wiped the grains off and no damage at all. For the sgs1 you could buy stronger backplates and the same will go for this phone, looking at its sales. Samsungs internal build quality is actually one of the best in the business so I wouldn't be to worried. Touchwiz 4 is quite nice. Huge improvement over tw3, still I ditched it within 2 days. Launcherpro all the way for me
It's so thin, i can barely see it, wait...
because the thing i am disappointed is, that we still not have it here in Germany.
We should get this Phone about the same time as UK, but forget it. We are still waiting for that. Most of the people are ordering the phone in UK or Austria because they have it already and not only that, they still get new charges.
I like this Forum and i would like to make some Tweaks on this phone too, but i don't even know when I can get it.

First and foremost, this phone is utter crap, it ate hundreds of my lovely British pounds before I could even pick it up.
I thought it looked amazing so I spread some cheese on it, but it didn't taste ANYWHERE near as good as it looked, now it turns out I need to feed it even MORE money before it will work again...
Seriously upset.

They ARE the best in the business. Look around, nothing comes even close. They manage to fit virtually everything in (more ram then anyone else, quality cpu, screen out of this world) light and this THIN -->

Other companies are feeling the pressure now. 4inc and over screens need lightness otherwise it just becomes a brick, but then they have to fit in all the top specs inside too and they don't have the tech yet to do that.

I have just been on the phone to them.
If you ring them they will give you £60 worth of vouchers to use.
I said I don't want vouchers I'll rather have £60 refunded to me. They said they can't do anything, so I said I am entitled under UK law to return the phone within 2 weeks of receiving it.
So now they are processing a return for me.

Stock on the Moto X does look perfect, but you know once lollipop hits we have to get this dev section going :victory:
Really hoping I get the phone by the end of this week, but it looks like Moto may have a lot of orders to go through (hence the long ETA). The droid turbo does look nice but as someone on here pointed out to me, capacitive buttons, yuck!

I got rid of the nexus in the end and kept the HTC M8, had to get the moto x though. Wanted it from last years model so just bit the bullet. Hopefully you get a good turnaround on your delivery. I imagine I won't be able to resist making something when lollipop drops.
Going to have to get my hands on a moto 360 as well I think.
No droid turbo though. For the same reason. On screen keys are the way forward !

The more I look at this device..

The more I want it.. haha I was going to pass on the M9 this year but the more I look at it the more I want it.. I just can't afford it right now Hopefully in a couple months I can. AT&T is charging 700 full price for it The developer is 650 which is a much better option..My wheels are spinning thinking how I could swing it.. hahah
I just wish they didn't do away with GPE so I could do a conversion for the m9 as well
I'm in the same boat. I was gonna pass,or at least wait a few months and pick up a used one.
But I'm starting to rethink it,lol
Sent from my HTC One max
Feel the same way. Especially since a lot of what ails the phone should be fixed by software tweaks (camera, battery, etc). Trying my best not to hit buy for something that is clearly still half-baked even with the latest updates.

i agree. ill defiantely get one,lol... just a matter of when!
M7 + m8 = m9
Definitely getting myself a m9 indeed. Just checked it out and it feels awesome.
An awesome week spent with M9 - all backdraws of M7 and M8 are gone = the perfect phone !!!
Even after the massive slagging this phone took after it's MWC announcement, I wanted it. This would have been my 5th HTC android phone in the last 5 years (including the M7 and M8), so it just seemed natural.
Then came Anandtech.
I can accept that the 810 is a bit of a bandaid for Qualcomm. I can even handle the fact that the camera isn't as good as the competition. But when HTC cheaped out on the display, which is arguably the most important part of the phone, that was just as slap in the face. I've swallowed the bitter pill that there is no software update that can fix the lack of PSR, and am genially sad that I'm not going to get this.
I suggest you see it for yourself ,most people who have got the device early reported the screen is excellent
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The screen is SIMPLY PERFECT.
I must get it. Hahah I can't believe the dev edition is cheaper than the att version at full price. I'm trying to raise the money now so I can get one. I only have $649 left to raise. Hahahhah
Edit just realized htc has the att version for 649 as well. But att told me it was 700. Him any rate. Need this phone. Hahah

It may well be good, and it could possibly be great with software calibration in the updates. But nothings going to address the lack of PSR, which is a shame. The battery life is just not going to be what it should.

I'll see you pals there! I've been invited by ASUS for quiet some time now! Hopefully I'll be helping or attempting to help to develop for the device if I have time! I haven't used Android in a while but I honestly can't wait for the release of this device.
I'll be there.
I'll also be there, look forward to replacing my OPO!
you guys have any thoughts on which version they will be giving us, my thoughts its gonna be the 2.3 processor with 4gb of ram and 64 gb on storage, my reasoning is they want to give us a crankin model so we can praise it with lots of love and joy on these forums and others,,steve

We will see when we get there I'm pretty sure you are right though, but let's see when we get over there! Oh yeah, and as I hear the bootloader are locked as of now so whenever you see an ASUS employee ask them when will we be receiving an unlock so we can start development! Heh.
I will be there as well. I pre-ordered 2 Alcatel Idol 3's also, so it will be nice to compare the two.

So that was a fun time. Met a few AndroidCentral people, a few from XDA, and a whole lot of people who won contests to go. I honestly thought it would have ran longer, and was glad it didn't. Pretty cool grab bag as well, and I was lucky enough to snag the red version instead of the grey.
Oh nice on getting a red version! I immediately switched the stock cover out for the view cover anyway, though.
I am liking the view cover...more than I thought I would. the rock garden was a nice touch...

(nod) I don't use cases either. I'm not keeping the phone, though. It's really nice. I actually like the form factor better than my Nexus 6. Unfortunately, both T-Mo and AT&T are awful here in CT. I'm bouncing between 0 and 1 bar on the Zenfone and have full bars on my N6.
I asked for red and they gave me a red one. I was happy

I overheard you say that immediately after you got yours, I asked about what other colors they had and the gentleman sure made it sound like he would have given me a red one if I asked nicely. But I wanted black
It's cool that they had a bit of flexibility.
Jaysus145 and I rolled up from Harrisburg not knowing what to expect. We were really blown away by the hospitality and had a great time. The Zen Garden is in my girlfriend's cubicle already. Nice touch by them including a T-Mo SIM as it gives people with coverage concerns a chance to give it a try. My coverage here has been pretty solid but on the ride home, it was very up and down. Coming from VZW, that might be an issue, but it does give me an option for when my contract is up.
Good to (sort of) meet some people at the event. Good times.

I was lucky enough to snag the red version instead of the grey.

I was able to snag a red one as well. The color is really growing on me!
I was at the event as well and was happy to meet some of the people and get a free phone to review and play with. I got the red one as well...seems many people did not know...that they could just ask for a red one lol.
anyway for people who did not go or just like cool pics here is a link to my pics on google+ https://plus.google.com/+JoeyRiz/posts/2rJzdmLBGh8
