Probably same here. Especially now that the Atrix is packing some sick hardware on ATT. But, I loved the hackability of the Captivate. I will miss that if Moto locks down their bootloaders.
i REALLY doubt they will switch to the snapdragon processors, why would they pay another company to build it when they could manufacture it themselves thus relieving the middle man....

Most Samsung phones out in the world today do not use Samsung made processors. The Hummingbird wasn't even made by Samsung as much as funded by them. Intrinsity built the Hummingbird for the most part. The Orion is one of the first total in-house processing units from Sammy.
Even some new phones from Samsung have alternative processors. The new Galaxy S with SLCD has an OMAP processor. And, the Focus has a Snapdragon.
I've heard repeatedly that Samsung's Orion won't be available till later in the year. So... it is a possibility that the Expansys specs are correct.
EDIT: Commenter over here made a good point. The Adreno 205 is supposed to be for 720p capable devices... not 1080p ones. Kind of discredits the authority of the Expansys specs.

do samoled screens have the same weird pentile matrix as the nexus one screen? and now the samoled+ is the first true 480x800 oled?
Honestly? I'll probably just go HTC or wait for the next Google phone (whenever that may be) as my next phone. HTC has a pretty good track record with Sense, and Google phones are purely stock Android. Both have a pretty strong mod community.
I went from an Xperia X10 to the Captivate, and while the mod community is 100x better, and the phone itself beat out the X10 in every way, I don't think I'll be returning to a Samsung phone.
I'm also done with $am$ung and their atrocious software support. I'll rather give my hard-earned money to a company (like HTC) that actually gives a **** about their customers and rolls out updates. I'm also staying away from Motorola and their ****ty bootloaders.

The thing is, Samsung has released a lot of updates for the international Galaxy S. Its the carrier branded versions where software support sucks. With that said the days of buying branded devices are over for me. Specs look nice.
One more rumor of Galaxy S excites me.
Specs:
* Powerful dual-core 1.2GHz Samsung Orion processor
* Ultra sharp 4.3″ Super AMOLED Plus screen
* Next-generation Bluetooth 3.0
* NFC technology for contactless payments and more
* 1GB RAM lets you multitask with ease
* Comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread
* 8MP camera with LED flash and 1080p video recording with 1.3MP front-facing camera for video call

The rumors are mostly fake, but some specs mentioned might become true.
Without a microSD slot, it does not have enough storage. I'll pass on it.
My next phone will be GSM and LTE capable.
I am jumping ship and going back with HTC, or a google phone.
the nexus 3 should be out some time this year, it might be the atrix because of the lte support 850 and 900
We received a bunch of e-mails from credible sources living in Asia that Samsung is planning to launch the next version of its popular Samsung Galaxy S II that will surely challenge the upcoming iPhone 5.
According to the note, the phone could use the “Galaxy S II Plus” branding, because the specs of the phone is not far from the current version of the Galaxy S II. The Galaxy S II Plus might include 1.4 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB RAM, and Android 2.3.4 with custom user interface courtesy of Samsung’s popular TouchWiz UI. Another source also added that the phone will arrive in August or September.

Seems a little weird to me. To de-throne their flagship phone within mere months? Even if it doesn't carry the Galaxy name something just doesn't figure here. Other news sites have reported that it's an identical device simply with the processor boosted and that this boost may/may not come to the current S2. Interesting none the less.
Edit: My bad, I've clearly gone blind and missed the current thread
I think it might carry a NFC chip with it..
And those of us in the States are still empty-handed.
Here in the netherlands already for sale.

Its cause they want to compete with the Iphone 5 ... simples
are we really going to notice much difference from 1.2 to 1.4? If all the specs stay the same and all they do is upgrade it to 1.4 I will be sticking with the SG2.
On the other hand I don't get why they would do that, is .2ghz really going to stop people from buying the SG2 over the Iphone 5?
All I can say is: This would piss me off. Having just forked out $750 just to have an SGII in the U.S., I'd be pissed if they suddenly had a slightly better model before the SGII was even available in the U.S.
The SGII is the fastest phone on the market right now and it does a lot of stuff the iPhone doesn't (DNLA, Kies Air, real multitasking, etc.). There's really no need to make it faster just to try and compete. Even if Apple brings it hardware-wise, it's still going to be the same old stale iOS that I have grown bored with. A little lipstick on the notification system and some twitter integration won't change that.

On top of that the S2 Plus CPU and GPU are not as good as the normal S2's Exynos4210.
so old a topic
forget S2 plus.... The S2 is the best android phone in the world
the dual core, 1gb ram, 4.3" screen, it´s enough the all apps and stuff :good:
after my current S2, i will buy another one....
A new SGS2 is on the way, a plus version. Se for yourself :

I hope to God they don't do it, because everybody is happy with this SGS2, and making the plus version, and then a SGS3 will make fans angry.
I read that the only difference will be that the plus version will have 1.4GHz CPU..

If one has the money then they should go for it then sell it when the real successor comes out.
But quite pointless in purchasing this if the S3 is looming despite the wait.

Well,technically speaking,my SGS2 is already better so...
But yeah,that's the point.They might as well make it with a Snapdragon.Although,if it's Qualcomm's S3 and not the S4 processor,it'll be more like the SGS2- instead of + but anyway.
I hope it'll come with the same chipset as the "newer" version of the g nexus. :3
why stupid?
I thought I had to say somethiong about the comments here. first of all I use the sg2+ since a week now. and yes it's really plu. I have a sgs2 and I really see the difference, when it comes to multitasking and web browsing. games runs better and when i wasn't able to run some powerfull games on sgs2, it runs perfect on the "plus" version.. Apart from that, I actually won't say it's a stupid thyought from samsung, a lot of people (like me) are fed up with the size of the screen on new phone like the sgs3 and they rather buy a smaller cell phone, the problem is that it's difficult to find a 4'3 screen with good specs nowaday. I guess that's where the sgs2+ comes in the game, it gives you a up to date phone specs.and a normal screen size. I will pêrsonnaly keep my regular sgs2 because of rom dev, since i think the sgs2+ will not be mod so much. but you can't say it's stupid to make this product, it's niche, but it has its place on the market. And don't forget something, it sells new for 300 euros. And i won't even bother on the materials they use cause it's like ten times better than the sgs3 which look and feel like a cheap plastic phone

Thats the samsung galaxy tab 2, which has apparently the same specs as our galaxy tab 10.1 (if not lower). Wait for the galaxy note 10.1 for much higher specs, hi res screen etc
Hopefully this will make for an easy port to our device!
I really dont expect samsung to give our tabs ICS soon especially since this newer version has the similar hardware to the original tab 10.1.
I feel like samsung would not want to release ICS for our tabs so they can sell more of the newer version, but maybe I am just a pessimist.

I just dont understand why cant Samsung just update our tab 10.1 to ICS and then lower the price and sell it as low end model. Then release note 10.1 as a successor with higher specs.
99% of us are not going to upgrade to tab 2 anyways. So whats the incentive for releasing a new model with exactly same specs, but with ICS ?

Agree them front speakers look UGLY...
Somehow, in spite of having the same specs, it's gotten thicker (9.7mm vs 8.6mm) and heavier (588g vs. 565g). It also now supports Glonass for GPS and has a MicroSD slot. I wonder if the added bulk is due to moving to a cheaper to build design.
I'm sure all the lawsuits Samsung has been dealing with brought all this about... Also they have to support this tab for 18months per Google rules so we WILL see ICS

Personally, not amused. Didn't raise the bar the way the S2 did. US versions shafted with S4.
And also, I think it's absolutely hideous. "Inspired by pebbles?" Honestly, who could even say that with a straight face. Oval phones are just... not smart.
But all in all, it's probably one "Plus" away from being stunning, but alas, combined with a pretty questionable keynote, I'd say this is overall pretty disappointing. It's still easily one of the best phones on the market, but it's now in a market populated by the HTC One X and the Huawei Ascend D XL, the former which is stunningly beautiful, and the latter has the chance to be even more specs-heavy than the S3.
tl;dr: Samsung pulled a 4s.

When it comes out in the USA, i dont know if im really getting it. Thats what happened when the S2 first came out. It came out around summer 2011 then a couple months later on a october, the tmobile brand t989 was released with upgraded hardware. Maybe the S3 might follow the same route.

'Quad-core' is a good marketing term for selling. Minor differences in everyday use in my opinion. You'll notice the difference if you run a benchmark.
I like all the functionality of it.... but I'd like to know from someone who knows:
Will our S2 be able to do all the cool stuff they are showing off with a software upgrade to 4.0.X ? Like the gesture functions, etc... Because our phone can already do most of the stuff they are showing, and the specs are pretty close?
Some of the features they show off will be unique to it, because the S3 uses a new version of Touchwiz that the Galaxy S2 isn't getting. Our ICS update is more a minor update, whereas the S3 gets some unique features. Kind of like HTC adding unique features to Sense 4 versus phones with Sense 3.5, even though both are on ICS.
-the ultimate black dragon-
If the tmobiles version gets turned into the red headed stepchild like the s2 did with changing the processors I'm just gonna go with the note or jump ship to att..

That's touchwiz i wasn't impressed at all. It not even all that special especially since samsung didn't even bother using a15 architecture on their processor. So qualcomm will be in the lead till ti omap is released. The only noticeable feature was picture in picture and that is it. Guess ill be sticking with the nexus line because
all those features are useless. but they can be done with apps which someone will probably do in the future.

Yea that what I meant buy the international unlocked for att but again I wasn't to impressed with it so I'm leaning towards getting the note and riding it out til the next nexus.
i dont like how it looks, i also think that it is too big its almost the same size as the galaxy note. It has a 8mp camera hopefully its not the same ones they put in the galaxy s2. that being said only thing left to really know is hows the battery life.
the next nexus will hopefully be a bit better
I actually love it!
But it only has HSPA +21
No HSPA +42 for us TMO users?

I agree with OP. Pretty much a let down here. Minor upgrades with some gimmicks. It will be the same story all over for us nerds here who want updates. Sure it has nice specs, but development is going to be slow for 6-9 months after the next OS release for android I probably wont own it, I don't need those specs for anything.
