[Q] Samsung Galaxy S II = Samsung Galaxy 2

A quick question, I stumbled over this "release date/roadmap" chart for Verizon,
ttp://smartphonecenter.info/wp-content/plugins/RSSPoster_PRO/cache/d8461_verizon-roadmap-spring2011110330143135.jpg
And I was wondering if the Samsung Galaxy 2 is suppose to be some new phone, or is just the Galaxy S II that currently is available elsewhere? I am just trying to find more information about the Galaxy 2 that the Verizon will have and to see if the video reviews for the "Galaxy S II" is something equivalent I should I expect.
Also, any opinions on going with a Samsung Android phones over the "more" popular HTC phones. I played around with some HTC phones, and those are nice...But considering Samsung can afford AMOLED...That's even a big plus since from the video reviews of the recent phones, the screens are gorgeous as ****.
Basically, "Samsung Galaxy S II" = "Samsung Galaxy 2"?

Horrible development communities for the Samsung devices. That alone is a deal-breaker for me. Not to mention how cheap they feel in your hand...

I have had both phones HTC and Samsung, I have found the hardware better put together than the HTC or Motorola. Originally I thought that the all plastic (quote cheap feel) was going to be too weak but, after having a phone for about a year it is really pretty resilient. That and 40% less weight is awesome. I could give a damn about Samsung software since i customize the phone and have done to all my phones. XDA is my update center not Samsung or HTC. So the S2 as of today has the best hardware to date and unless something changes that is the next phone I will be getting. Also, HTC is trying to lock the bootloader so you can't root the phone...... screw any company that tries to dictate what I do on MY phone ........... that in itself is the real deal breaker

Samsung Galaxy S II
Samsung Galaxy S II all the way. Screw HTC trying to lock up their bootloaders, that means I'm also locking HTC out of my wallet. Right now no phone on the planet compares to the S2. My only issue is that I want the thing to be released in the USA yesterday - on all networks.

Come on guys, you are missing the point. Yes, I understand that the Galaxy is a great phone...I am just trying to figure out if the one that will be released for Verizon under the name "Galaxy 2" will be the same as the "S II" or whatever is called.

Sorry if this compare a little bit confused.
I did it when i was tired.
Samsung galaxy s2 has 25 advantage on iPhone 4s.
iPhone 4s has 5 advantage on Samsung galaxy s2.
Absolutely Samsung galaxy s2 is better.
Question about Samsung galaxy s2:
Sorry about the boob question. (yeah ,i saw the video on the register page)
There is better phone than SGS2?
If true and the phone is out then what his name?
When i mean 'better' ,i say has more performance.

yes, supposedly Samsung Nexus 3 (prime) due out next year

Thread closed, have a look on Q&A section we have plenty of this...

[Q] What phone to buy?

I want to save for a new phone, i was thinking of getting a Galaxy S ii or Galaxy Nexus. Which is better?

they are the same only nexus has a better screen. (CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG)
why dont you wait for s3 like i do?

i wiil go with nexus
i think "Galaxy Nexus" would be better. u will get a long talk time and better uploading speed here. downloading speed is also good here....

I honestly and personally would get the Galaxy Nexus. The SII seems a bit over rated to me. Also the Galaxy Nexus looks a lot better and looks like something that is fun to use

Galaxy sII

Better in terms of pixel density which results in slightly sharper images. However, the s2 produces better quality images and the contrast and viewing angles are much better

get the nexus .more updates in the future

Galaxy Nexus. Screen is really nice and it is smooth right out of the box.
Samsung also sells an extended battery which adds very minimal bulk. It makes the battery cover flush and adds a little bit of weight which feels nice.

Galaxy sII：O

i think galacy nexus is better, however if i were u i would buy an htc one s

So any way it depends what you use your phone for. If you want high resilousion pics then go with the s2 cause it has the 8mp camera compared to the 5mp camera for the nexus. So if you put the s2's photos on a big screen it will look better than the nexus's photos on the same big screen,but if you look at the nexus's photos on the phone screen it will look better than the s2's photos on the phone screen because the nexus has a higher resliousion screen.
So if you are gona put your photos onto a computer then go with the s2 but if you are gona just look at them on you phone then go with the nexus. The specs of the two phones are the same a think is 1.2 ghz dule core prossor and 202 gpu.
It should be fast enough for daily tasks and gameing alike.
PS. sorry about the spelling mistakes Iam a 13 year old boy

Galaxy Nexus for me. Only because it's an official Google phone, I love to have the updates before everyone else

i think galaxy nexus is better.. it has more modern technology than galaxy S2

i also think that galaxy nexus is better

Well i too would suggest the nexus.. but if you are still saving.. and saving big.. wait for the s3 !!

I think Nexus is better than S2 for performance.But You can try to another Product like HTC or Sony.

My vote is on the Nexus
However if you have that kind of cash why not consider something newer in the market?

I would definately wait for the s3! the official release is this thursday, so it's sooooo close!
there is no official picture but there are some leaked pictures based photos, check out the site of sammobile . com, there are some pics! (I can't post links..)
it supports better specs than s2 or nexus.
If you don't like this and can't wait for 2 days, I would say galaxy s2 because it has such an overwhelming development section with soo many ROMs etcetera.

You should wait just a couple of days..
For sure the one currently with the most up to date software without having to root it and install one of the custom ROMs here would be the Galaxy Nexus. Although it won't be the best device in a couple of days. I suggest you to wait just at least a couple of day before choosing if your one top notch up to date kind of guy since the Galaxy SIII should be announced on May 3rd by Samsung. Also, the HTC One series are getting through many carriers these day until the end of may. The One X is definitively a much better device currently even if it's not available everywhere. Anyhow, if you want it at the end of the day, I would go with the Galaxy Nexus, if you can wait just a couple of days, I would be curious to compare it with the incoming One X or the SIII!

If your into custom rooms, definitely go for the s2 as there is more going on in the development section

[Q] Better Phone?

Hey guys! Judging by my name you can probably tell I (used) to be a noob. Well times have changed and I'm coming up on 2 years with an extensive knowledge of rooting and whatnot (little rusty on my ADB skills but I'll manage xD). My question is whether I should get the Galaxy S3 or The Galaxy Nexus? Money is not a factor in this. Whats a better daily phone for everyday use? Battery Life? Display? Usability? More importantly which phone is better for flashing roms, overclocking and just general tinkering? I'd love to hear your thoughts

experience doesnt matter its all about post count.
The Galaxy Nexus is comparable to the Galaxy s2, the s3 is a better phone than both. I'd go with the s3 unless you can wait until the next Nexus
IMO the Nexus phones are a blank slate that you can setup yourself, while the galaxy phones have everything done already. That said the s3 has plenty of rom/modding support so just flash it and do your own thing

They both are great phones but as in performance the s3 is better. If you want pure Google then go with the nexus, you won't be disapointed with either phones

[Q] [DISCUSSION] Nexus 5 or Galaxy S3? (As daily driver, KitKat)

Alright, so I'm getting a new phone this summer (or Christmas) and I can't decide between the Galaxy S3 and the Nexus 5. The Galaxy S3 is 100€ cheaper but the Nexus 5 is the newer and more supported. I'm looking for a phone that can be my daily driver and possibly take good photos and video, although I'm not really looking for amazing quality. I'm used to low end smartphones like the Galaxy Pocket (God that thing was a nightmare) and Galaxy S Duos (this one is a bit better but JESUS IT SUCKS AS WELL-- only sometimes).
I don't want TouchWiz no matter how much "faster" and "more beautiful" it is, because I know that Samsung only makes it go fast for about a month and then BOOM it's slow as heck for no reason. If I get the Galaxy S3, I'm gonna flash a KitKat ROM on it.
