Hi everyone,
I was tired reading on the web that the iPhone 4S is faster than the SGS2, especially in the browsing part.
On BrowserMark, the iPhone 4S makes a score of 89 567 points, and some general computer websites said that the GS2 makes less than 80k points.
I ran the test myself, on CyanogenMod 7 :

Out beast still beats it by far. The GS2 also makes a greater score in PeaceKeeper (more than 2 times the iPad 2 based on the website's chart).

YEAH!
Show 'em who's boss!
You just earned a thank you for making my day!
i know that i am new and i am not apple/droid lover BUT best test will be to put iphone4s and sgs2 on the table and start browser.
also you test it with moded firmware so that is also questionable result...
dont be insulted or anything just my 2 cents
Why,if he had moded FW/customer Rom than is not SGS2
This is our big advance

Galaxy S II vs ifon 4S comparison video.
Part 1
Part 2
Video Recording Comparison
Pretty close between the two, I thought apple would have made something way better with the time they has since the SGS 2 was launched. The 1080p video from the ifon 4s has some horrible stuttering.

I was expecting this kind of question
Sure that Sammy's stock roms are not the best in terms of performance, and they would probably not give the same results in the tests, but at least we know the raw power of the mobile device.
For the iPhone 4S, there is no software barrier, it -should- unleash all of its power since you press the power button. That's especially what's interesting.
Hopefully, the Ice Cream Sandwich stock rom for SGS2 will be as quick as CM7 currently With CM7 lead dev in Sammy's hq, it should be quite well.

OMG Siri is amazing! Yawn..
Apple is so playing catch up now.
Can't wait to see what ICS is going to be like.
I am an iphone guy,but..... still think is pathetic to wait in line in the middle of the night just to buy this phone yesterday. 4s is not worth it, if anyone already owns an iphone 4. Soo what if the processor & memory doubled, applications between iphone 4 & 4s run at the same speed or no noticeable difference. it's a waste of money to upgrade from 4 to 4s just run same apps, do the same tasks, and Look at the same SMALL screen.
As far as the 1080p video stuttering goes; I think that video clip was made biased on the 4S side and believe the stutter was there intentional, just to make make the S2 look better. If there is truly is a stutter on the 4S, that can easily be fixed via updates. My SGS2 use to stutter when recording, but easily fixed by updating, with that said, that easily applies the 4S as well.
I can't speak for iphone 4S, but i personally think Samsung did a terrible job designing the camera with zoomed-in 1080p (thats huge flaw for me), which is the only thing that i can complain about the galaxy S2 and use 720p instead.
Knowing iphone 4S was a bad move by Apple, Don't know why are we having yet another Iphone vs SGS2, when we very well our S2 is already superior.
I m happy
Win Win Win
And i can bet on samsung that they gonna do some nasty things in future updates of android coz they achieved a lot in last year after not good start with galaxy S
Go Go Go Samsung \m/

You may be right about the 1080p video. I found one that doesn't have the stutter:
This difference between stock SGS2 and Iphone 4S is the used Webkit version, i.e. SGS2 use pretty old version while the iOS and Honeycomb use a newer build. The Webkit is core engine of Android and iOS web browsers.
So, if you look at the benchmark results between 4S and Galaxy Tab 8.9 (Tegra 2 based + Honeycomb) you will see that the performance is equal.
Going back to SGS and Cyanogenmod 7.1 - the Android version is 2.3.7, so I guess this branch contains much newer version of Webkit, which explains the SGS2 advantage.
In brief - both A5 processor and Exynos use ARM A9 core, but they both run on different speed: A5 - 800Mhz and Exynos - 1.2Gh respectively. There is nothing surprising for me that SGS2 blows away 4S in browser tests!
Sorry to burst your bubble. But the stock version scores are something like this.
Waiting for ics to change some things.

SGS2 is still the king, but iOS does it in style, take the notification bar pull down menu, on the SGS2 it just looks like ****, on the 4s it has style
I have both phone. Benchmark doesnt really matter to me but.
In terms of loading pages the iPhone wins by a few second, but only when ,on demand option is on, since it still loads the flash content.
.
After putting flash off, they are pretty mucb equal or sometime vary, depends which ones having a good day. There both great phones afterall.
Cant wait for ICS though
Not an Iphone fan as such but this chap compared the iphone 4s to an iphone 4 and SGs2 and iphone seems to be doing preety well

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction HD is out for Android.
It needs more than 500MB and runs really good on Desire:
looks hella crazy!! should run fine on my Galaxy S Vibrant....
WHOA, looks amazing! Finally, the first proper big game for Android! Should work fine for my Galaxy S as stated above.
It's been removed from the market already
Anyone know why?
Edit: I'm stupid. Sucks that you can only get it from Gameloft though
Looks awesome. Any more details on this? Developer, etc?
Edit: Nevermind. http://www.gameloft.com/android-games/splinter-cell-conviction/
This is why I must convince my dad to get me a new phone and a bigger sdcard
or a new ipod my 2g sucks curse you apple
While the game runs great the controls need work as it's insanely hard to navigate and shoot.
It's better or worse than the iphone's version.
Unfortunately the Android phone market is flooded with devices with subpar hardware. In fact apart from Galaxy S class phones everything else sucks compared to iphone (as far as GFX HW goes).
So I'm inquiring whether it was built with Galaxy/Nexus S in mind or plain Qualcomm devices. If it looks/runs significantly worse than the iphone version I already have my answer.
^BS its the exact same game. On all platforms, its the exact same game. The gaming controls suck though. Try out DD:FW
Heh, good news I guess...
We sorely need games of the Splinter Cell calliber on the Android Market, it's pretty much the last castle that Apple still holds...
BTW does DD:FW on the Android performs equally well as that of the iPhone?
Is anyone else not a fan of on screen controls? Or is it just me?

Heh I love em! Especially on FPS to be honest.
Running great on my Vibrant. I have wondered why it's taking this long to get decent games on Android. I know the iPhone has had better hardware than android phones, but earlier this year, most android phones had similar cpu/gpu specs. I'm guessing the software/OS in apple mobile products is just THAT much better. I know the Vibrant hardware blows away iPhones, but games/apps seem to run, at best, just as good.
Either way, I'm glad to see games this good start rolling out. The aiming isn't super precise(not horrible though, by any means), but the game overall has been great.
Fantastic !
People gameloft look like they starting to love us android users.
Bro the iphone doesnt have better hardware then android the only thing that better then us is their High Res screen that all...
They dont have better Os, they just have more money then google and promote heavily on their products that all.

So why is it dungeon defenders(and most other games) run smoother with lesser hardware? All decent games starting to roll out are being built for the tegra dual core phones. The iphone didn't need crazy specs to run what android phones are just now getting into. Unless you have another answer besides "money", I'm still convinced it's the os.

I can say it mostly because of Samsung Galaxy phones and Droid's line phone that have Power VR SGX530 & 540 chip that allow us to play this game fluently.
That what the iphone 3g & 3GS had over us up until last year with Original droid 1.
This year with galaxy phones and droid 1,droid 2 and X.
Other android device doesnt have them they have adreno 195 to 205 which is mostly htc devices has a bad graphic chip, doesn't allow the game to play steadly .
This is why Samsung was choice to be manufacture to make Nexus S and not htc.
Specs on Iphone graphic Gpu:
Iphone3g wiki info on specs . Graphics PowerVR MBX Lite 3D GPU
Iphone3gs wiki info on specs. Graphics PowerVR SGX535 GPU
Iphone 4 GPU Apple A4 (PowerVR SGX 535)
If you see a trend here developer like this chip to be on phone to enhance the graphic on the device.

All these games run perfect on my g2 compared to the ioS. My brother has an itouch and has the same games and they look and play better on my phone then his ipod. I haven't compared to an iphone 4 but I have never had a problem gaming on my device.

So the CES 2011 in Las Vegas just introduced a new array of phones..we see some cool features such as the dual core processors/slimmer design/brilliant display/8MP cameras/1080p..
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, Moto Atrix 4G, LG Optimus 2X & Black, HTC EVO Shift, Samsung Infuse..which is tickling your fancy? Having just used the Mytouch 4g for a little over 3 weeks, I'd like to know what you guys think of the new phones compared to the Mytouch..Discuss..
Since we have the second gen snapdragon and more ram i think we will be better off than most of the other 2010 phones, i'm glad i used my dad upgrade for it though because i will be eligible in July.
May I say it might be nice to have a link of this information so we might look.

Moto Atrix 4G looks pretty cool, alot of features... they brought the HTC desire HD to at&t which I was hopeing they tmobile would have it with a front facing cam but nope... Nothing to special, but honeycomb and tablets looking good...
I'll trade the myTouch 4g for the Optimus 2x if it really does come to T-Mob. I'm digging the whole 1080p hdmi and 8mp camera.

I've mentioned a while back that the physical aesthetics are extremely similar to iPhone 3Gs, but that's actually not a bad thing, albeit not very original. I will be watching this handset closely and may just have to trade in my MT4G as well. Definitely seems like a very appealing option.

I think out of the bunch the Atrix is by far the most interesting. The whole thing with the laptop dock is so interesting.

Atrix is what attracted me the most. I just know they will f*ck it up with that e-fuse nonsense...
super phones....hmmmm.....impressive hardware but I want to see how they behave in real world scenarios regarding battery life, picture quality, overall quality...why do I need a dual core for running gingerbread....not really sure....hardware impresses first and then you realize if the software on the beast sucks it doesn't help. I have the MT4G and the front facing camera is almost useless because Tango and Qik are lousy programs. The wifi calling is a nice idea but only when the software is great. The MT4G wifi calling software is lousy. So there is much more to do on the software side regarding Android then bringing out every two month faster phones. I don't game on my phone so I am happy for now with my MT4G and wait until there are reall innovations in hardware and software. Faster is no selling point for me....

it can have 40 cores it wont make a difference if its no better than the 20 hours i get out of my mytouch. Agree vid chat is a joke on android right now (granted how often would we really use it if it worked fantastic)
Im sure a year from now ill want a new device but now and until prob the middle of this year the mytouch will be okay. We have moto releasing some devices (we all know their history with rooting) and samsung (lol software updates)
the optimus is cool but its LGs first go into smartphones (let alone cutting edge ones) the jury is still out. See how they handle this device then make a decision

i also agree with this besides the gaming part. i dislike apples product alot but.. their software is awesome compared. lol. we DONT need better phones. we need UPDATED OPEN GL! iphone and wm7 have newest so with our phones with downgraded open gl we wont run programs close as good no matter if we have 100th gen 1ghz processors and they still have 1st.. software upgrades sound amazing, new phones = bleh.
Well initially my plan was to upgrade from my HD2 next end of this year when dual core cell based proc came out on phones. But since I lost it I had no choice to buy MT4G. Guess ill wait once dual core is more mainstream then I mean I been using MT4G for one day now and man o man its super stable and the boot is fast as hell.
If you are trying to be head in the tech world you better have alot of money as you will need it to keep up. Mostly everything gets old in 5-6months. Thats why I picked HD2 still beating down Evo fanboys.

Hey folks.
I've seen several comparison threads on the Infuse around here. Although it's nice to compare the Infuse with other (newer) devices out there, a thread can derail very quickly or become a flame-fest.
That's why I thought of starting this comparison thread, which can be stickied and will be the ONLY comparison thread in General. Others will be closed.
Every pro and cons may be discussed, as long as we watch our language and play nice.
Discussion may start....
Now.
I'll start, cons:
NEED MOAR CORES!!!
...and more RAM... and a better GPS.
Pros:
Everything else!
Who agrees?
i completely disagree, batterylife is so-so as it is with the stock firmware, what would it be with another core to support? ram is not an issue if it is managed correctly, more ram just gives app developers an excuse to get lazy. try the 99tweaks mod in dev section and ignore the reported free ram, it is insignificant information.
gps, well we know samsung sux at that :/ it is wonky and has worse reception than my captivate (not to say it works worse, that would be a lie but my captivate can loc in places that my infuse can't it just takes longer and tracks like **** if agps is enabled)
needs 1080p recording, i think the gpu is marginal for that ability but i think if they had real talent in their software department it could be "possible" though i know it will never happen.
You also have to consider majority over minority. A large amount of people that pick up these phones don't know what "rooting" or flashing firmwares and all that can do. The average Joe will just minimize the app and keep going. They want to have a phone that works out the box without a need to jump through hoops.
Adding more to something already good is never a bad thing. Basically it would be a SGSII with a bigger screen, and last I checked it's probably one of the most popular phones on the market to this date.
Yall thinks it worth giving up the Infuse for the Nexus Prime when it hits the market in a few months??
im thinking of getting it, and giving the infuse to my mom - she needs the big screen..lol

all up to you buddy. i think there is too much emphasis on hardware, yeah hardware is cool and benchmarks are cool but the infuse has raw capabilities that some tegra powered phones dont have in video playback.. like i said earlier there isnt much the phone can't do. but obviously the infuse is near the bottom of the barrel when it comes to 2011 phones as far as hardware goes. i would say pick up the next nexus and see if it tickles you a certain way, you will be assured that it will have the best firmware at any givven time. if the nexus doesnt do it for you then return it.

Hm...I disagree. My phone has been able to manage everything well with a single core, and RAM has never been an issue. (Maybe on stock, but then again, I flashed a ROM as soon as I got it so yeah)

yea, wont really know till i pick it up. Thats True.
It's crazy. I like some things about my infuse, I like some things about my thrill
I keep swapping back and forth between the two.
I no longer have any interest in the SGS2....but I do look forward to seeing what ATT does with LTE around Christmas
I have a HTC Sensation and an Infuse 4g and believe me battery consumption on Dual Core Sensation is annoying and i throw it away. Infuse has good battery life and does everything with a single core. My next phone will probably be a Galaxy Note depending on battery.
here is Infuse with 4.5 and galaxy S2 with 4.27" (<--look like 4 inches!").
phone size is only a little bigger, but your eyes will notice the HUGE screen different! if it' not 4.5, i dont want it!
update: try to look at each screen for 5 seconds, then you will see the HUGE screen different!

Wait, you have both? Does the dual core and the extra 512megs of RAM make a difference?

i only noticed the galaxy S2 (dual core) boots up and loads webpages with flashes faster. other than that, i dont noticed that much different since i overclocked my infuse to 1.6Gzh with bedwa kernel.
Now when it comes to battery life on the GSII based on your normal use, would you say it was worse or same/similar?
Reason I'm asking is because I never really messed with a dual core android unit... yet, but was curious what real improvements they bring other than benchmarks.
I liked running my Infuse at 1.6Ghz, but could never find the right voltage to keep it going while maintaining a great battery life.
Btw, thanks for the input, kinda changed my perspective on DC phones a little.

battery life is about the same on both phones, after 8 hours at work,
I have about 20% battery left. I mostly surf the web while on break and lunchtime.
Now I underclocked the Infuse to 800mzh during work hours, after 8 hours I have about 40% left.
The Infuse is the first smartphone I've owned, I can only compare to other phones I've played with for a short time. I run the Infused 2.1.0 with 1.6 Infusion 1.1 kernel, and my Infuse is faster than many others. The battery life is great, I'm on my phone for about 4-5 hours talk time, and heavily use web, music and the occasional game. I can get a day and a half worth out of the battery before charging. If I dont use those, sometimes I can go 3 days. I dont see much difference with dual cores. If the phone was ran stock, yes, you can tell noticeable difference. I do wish it could record in 1080, but thats not that big of a deal. Never had a problem with GPS, or anything else I can think of.
Infused 2.1.0
Infusion GB Kernel 1.1
Is that an Infuse in my pocket
or am I just happy to see you?
Does anyone know of any place where you can actually use NFC?
Infuse
I have to say after being on my first Android Phone making the jump from WinMo to my Cappy and learning about Roms, tweaking and modding I was excited to make the next jump to the next Android phone. I had 30 days after purchase that I was going to use the Infuse and then make the transition to the SGSII for the bump in power and performance but sacrificing the minor screen downsizing. But after experiencing and reading many users inputs and advice I decided to hang on to the Infuse. I am finding the power is perfect for what I want and need (Mostly email, Text and web) I hardly use the GPS or maps (Currently Frozen in TIBU at the moment) and battery life is average or comparable to all others I have read about. I found that most user that get extraordinary long battery life is due to no SIM and WiFi only use, as I have done and got two days out of my battery before at the sacrifice of connectivity availability. But overall I think the infuse is comparable if not better phone than most and I would like to see more development and activity for this device even though its not the "Most Popular" phone on the block at the moment.
I just saw the sgs2 att comercial and gotta say it looks quite sexy. but ill wait and see things like Rom compatibility with the international version and final hardware specs. there were rumors that Samsung would use tegra2 chips in some markets. not really sure about that but hope that we get the Orion chip.
it may be better to wait for the galaxy s 3 or whatever comes next but the att gs2 does look good.

Hey folks.
I've seen several comparison threads on the Infuse around here. Although it's nice to compare the Infuse with other (newer) devices out there, a thread can derail very quickly or become a flame-fest.
That's why I thought of starting this comparison thread, which can be stickied and will be the ONLY comparison thread in General. Others will be closed.
Every pro and cons may be discussed, as long as we watch our language and play nice.
Discussion may start....
Now.

Hi Folks i was at Apple store just abt 10 mins ago, hardly there were people coming in to buy Iphone 4s, so i did a quick compare between browsing speeds of My captivate and 4S and I should say that 4S is faster but not as fast as marketing/tech sites say. i did record the video(i used another iphone sitting on display) but i could not email to mys self as i didnt had a camera. but i did buy a iphone for my GF so will try to post the video. i dont see a good why reason why people should upgrade to 4S.
Video coming soon
see this video a quick compare for drop test between SGS 2 and Iphone 4s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=elKxgsrJFhw
Very Interesting... I went from an Iphone 3gs to the Cappy.. there was NO comparison. especially now that I am running Phoenix. ive been told mine runs smoother than the iPhone 4 my boss has.
Really? The SGS II has insanely improved web browsing over the Captivate.

I dont mean to be THAT GUY, but it's just a given that iOS is going to be about 100x smoother than android, unless you have a Nexus S, which is an iPhone 4 with android on it.

It's basically impossible for web browsing to be much smoother than the SGS II.

+1. same hardware. almost.
except different implementations. aosp. stock. different i/o. n all that goodness, u knw!
so yea, a cappy n cm7 r miui is way pretty much the same as iphone4.
hahaha iphone sucks!

i didn't try my captivate while in the store but
i did try bringing up pages on the 4s and the GSII side by side in the store.
They were both connected to wifi rather than 3g so couldn't test that
but i do have to admit the 4s was bringing up webpages faster than the GSII.
Why do people even still care?
I've had my phone for a while, and I'm still a while away from an upgrade.. What good do these comparisons do?
The iphone 4s is a dual core device at 800 mhz. Therefore unless the browser is optimized for dual cores the captivate will theoretically be faster at 1000 mhz assuming both have a stable connection in the same location.
Even if the browser is hypothetically optimized for dual core processing, the gains over a single core processor for a web browser is probably still not going to see large gains.
It's a browser.. not autocad :/
Who buys a cappy/sgs2/iphone4/iphone4s only to brows the web? There are thousands of other applications/uses for these phones. For speed and stability browsing is the least of my concerns. Run a real test, like how well it streams or runs video intensive apps/games, etc.
I can co-sign with MikeyMike that the GS2 has 100x better browsing than the Captivate. I went to heavy flash websites and lagged hardcore with the Captivate. That lag is non existing with the GS2. I can compare this with my laptop in terms of smoothness.

It's a device that runs Instagram which is about the only reason to look at one, albeit a damn compelling one.
If you want it to "just work" you buy a iPhone. If you want to tweak it to match you you buy a Android. I am not sure why people are always trying to compare. btw apple sucks

Its the smartphone that makes their owners feel they are smarter than they really are.
I can only wonder why everything has to be a contest.
I love my captivate, but come on.. it is how old?
Captivate is now low-mid range in terms of price/performance.
Honestly, I really don't mind that it is the low range.. It is still decent hardware which can do everything I bought it to do.
Just seems in terms of comparisons.. you would think people would have gotten bored with comparing it by now :/
I was waiting to decide but now I've made up my mind on the One X, despite not having a changeable battery or external microsd, I'd rather have that instead of a cheap flimsy back case on the s3, or cheap plastic ugly squarish centre button
I was looking forward to the S3 until I saw it, it looks like ****, is it just me? curves are too deep around the edges, looks like that old webos phone the palm pre if I recall,
the s3 has some good specs close to the one x but the phone design and the ugly touchwizz ui lets it down, the icons look like they were built for an old nokia colour phone back in the days of 8310,
long live htc!

couldn't agree more, already have my one x and the design seems so much more modern and sleek than the s3, i was willing to trade up to the s3 if it was good and because sammy's have always had a strong dev community here on xda, but i am disappointed by the s3, feel like they held back alot

Who gives a crap about touchwiz or sense for that matter...AOKP FTW on either phone.
you can say that again, no doubt the s voice will be ported over, thats the main feature and motion controls
the ui just sucks, ive never liked samsungs ui's
their tv's are good and thats as far as it goes for samsung with me, I held up on the One X cause of the S3, and it's seems like a waste of time,
I'm actually pissed off and it's bothering me,
I'd rather get a decent UI with the phone rather than wait for roms and rooting etc. you know what I mean?? and no It's not just the launcher I'm talking about, its the whole ui itself
I've got the sensation XE and been using Sense 4 on it and all I can say it is fantastic,

Problem is that I'm not waiting for the fall/winter to get an LTE version with an S4. So I'm going to be getting the AT&T One X now.
I'm in the same boat.
I'm a serial ROM flasher on my orginal GS, and have been running CM9 for some time now. Legend of a phone but it's showing its age now.
Didn't get an SII because I wanted to wait for the SIII, did and am totally disappointed with it. Not interested with the heavy emphasis on software rather than design - it is horrifically ugly!
I'll be going to the Three store and picking a One X up tomorrow
I hope the dev community shows the One X lots of love... my initial thoughts are how great it would be to see a One X running CM9 with the Sense camera.... although I understand this is almost like asking the impossible
Flashing the One X seems like a lot more work than the GS/GSII. I hope they aren't easy to brick
S3 is designed with nature in mind, stones and leaves and water. ONE X is designed with the future and awesomeness in mind
according to this the one x (us version at+t) is superior as the htc one s is

Should i start a thread saying "wanted to buy One X but going for SIII"? Anyway, for all the $%$% happening with OneX hardware/quality wise I would gladly jump from LG's O3D to SIII. Can't wait

Problem is that those benchmarks were written to test only single or dual core processors. There really isn't a good bench marker out yet to effectively measure quad core phones.
Why would Samsung or HTC put out quad core phones that under perform a dual core processor that they were only forced to use because the quad doesn't support LTE?
In that case, the One S is better than the Global One X, which we know they would not allow to happen as it would hurt sales of their flagship.

wonder how long it will take to get a decent rom on the s3, damn that thing is ugly (touch wizz)
& the AnTuTu scores are.....
I'm not a benchmarking fan as they don't tell the full story, but AnTuTu is true multi core testing & I've always found it to be the most reliable in the past - especially when checking different custom roms & kernels on past devices.

You basically just said something (marked in bold) that has been on my mind, it wouldn't make sense for phone manufacturers to put out quad cores just to have them beat by dual cores. That's simply thinking logically
Hope we see increased quad core bench marks soon. Blah, who gives a damn. They are just digits, In the end, in real life usage the phones will only differ in what? milliseconds? I'm outta here!
Good day or should i say night all

I'm really happy with the H1X, I had the Galaxy S2 but the S3 hasn't leaped ahead of the pack too much, seems S3 Exynos may be better than Tegra, but not about the GPUs.
Great HTC win
