I really dont understand if there is some internal conflict within samsung as to what devices they would launch? WTF is the point of this phone??
It's only going to cause more competition between samsung's own devices, if they think superamoled is so important they shouldnt have released the galaxy R in the first place.
Now because of the "galaxy S" name it's probably going to sell alot more than galaxy R and will end being a better phone I think.
And I actually love superamoled even the pentile one but I still think the timing of this phone is just wrong, they should have instead marketed the galaxy R which has perfect hardware with beautiful LCD and only needs more dev support to be a better phone.
Its closer to S plus than to the R, only four inch and prob not having one gig of ram so this is NOT an R2 imo, R is a royal class and the next R Should b an r2 not an S, s class.
Anyway this would make angry to the s users if they updTe to ics and not their s,

It has mali-400 MP GPU, I really really doubt it will have 512MB RAM.

The screen might be a bit smaller but it's superamoled.
This phone is on a completely different level than the original galaxy S and S plus.
I am absolutely not saying this is a much better phone than the R, it's about on the same level so I am not saying it's R2. What I am saying is that it's going to further cannibalize the already average sales of the galaxy R.
Anyone with the budget of this range will definitely go for the Galaxy R. It's meaner and sexier.
Moreover, by the time this device hits a price drop, gets into the hands of many and finds a home in xda, our device will be well off. We'll have plenty of Dev support. People will still want a Galaxy R.
---------- Post added at 01:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------
People who knew about phones never bought Galaxy S plus. This device probably just brings in more fragmentation. The Galaxy S is still a good device. You'll never have shortage of dev support or desserts from android as long as you are in xda.
And talking about our device, there's nothing to worry about until a few months passes after the release of Samsung Galaxy S III. Untill then we are boasting around one of the most powerful devices. (Ours' is not the most powerful phone but comparable to the top of the range devices. Benchmarks may speak differently, but for all practical purposes, the performance is more or less the same)
---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------
Our device is moderately future proof too. But once the Cortex A-15 based chipsets make their way into smartphones, the scene will differ.
The Exynos 5250 (32nm architecture with Mali-T604) and other chipsets sporting PowerVR Series6 GPU has multiple times the power of current gen chips.(2x processing power and 5x graphics processing power and much better power efficiency).
But these wont bother us probably until 2013. All you Galaxy R owners, you have made one if the best choices as of now in deciding to choose this phone.
Interesting post dh33r4j!
dh33r4j +1
Gambler_3 I do really doubt it about 512RAM , if samsung denied ICS to S1 with 512 they need a need argument in terms of ram, could be 768mb or i dont know maybe 1GB in this case S advance would be closer to R, but also to the flagship S2... i dont see that happening.... What would be the point having S2 1gb ram dual core and a S1 adv with 1gb ram dual core? ...
S advance is much better than S plus but still worse than R, the amoled screen is not better than our SLCD they are diferent, ask S2 owners about greenish screens (very common in S2) and Tegra2 is inside in a big variety of devices like LG, tablets... so I think like dh33r4j , our chip is more future proof in terms of supporting games of course all this is only my hummble opinion and I can be so wrong.
BTW, the tiers of samsung are, Y, M , W, R and S. so i expect they follow that scale and the next R , is the R2 something like i-9xx3 , in other words a S3 downgraded like R is for the S2 and de SCL (is for S)

It's samsung, many things they do dont make sense.
I prefer superamoled but ya the display of R is also very good. I also prefer 4" over 4.2" as I find the S2 and galaxy R to be a bit too big so thats another possible reason for this phone to provide a more portable dual core phone.
I was thinking of getting the R, I am not quite sure now.

hahha completely agree with you, "its samsung" no more words to add LOL.
I think that i'll change brand for the next android.
What's the alternative? Motorola and HTC with locked bootloaders? Trust me HTC technical support is much worse than Sammy's. They can really act ridiculous sometimes.
Actually....I'm pretty much satisfied with Samsung both with HW and SF. (HTC devices are not that reliable as sammies in terms of both FW and HW nowadays) The only thing tat pisses me off is marketing (lack of support for some devices...ours ?) and the update policy. While in Southeast Asia people has been enjoying android 2.3.6 since november...we still "enjoy" android 2.3.4 in Sweden..WTF?
yeah, you never know when they will update in each country, if they ever do LOL.
Still dont know which brand will I go for, I have time to look the behaviour of the market's brands. maybe a nexus
Nexus is a good choice. Samsung's HW + google FW which means the freshest updates!
http://www.sammobile.com/2012/01/30/samsung-announces-galaxy-s-advance/
these are de specs its 768MB ram
so, 1ghz dual core 758MB ram 4" clearly not that good as de R.
Very wise movement of samsung they include +256mb ram extra so they can include ICS ( not confirmed yet thou) so S1 users cant complain... and if you want an S with ICS get this new S adv good job Samy!
R tegra2 dual core 1ghz 1GB 4.19" 21Mbps
S advance :dual core 1ghz 768MB 4" 14.4 Mbps
so R is better imo and ICS will take advance of our 1gb or ram for sure.
Well mali is more powerful GPU isnt it? But it isnt that well supported so I would still take geforce ULP over it.
It is probably going to be pentile display so the superamoled is not very big advantage as you get lower resolution. But in all honestly I would still rather have galaxy S display than R display and it seems like the display of the advance will be identical to the original S.
One detail missing is if it will have gorilla glass which I strongly presume it will which levels the playing field somewhat in my opinion.
Many people are reporting samsung has stopped manufacturing the R which would really be an unfortunate thing, I dont think they already produced buck loads of it so we cant expect many devs to have the R.
Well according to gsmarena it does have gorilla glass. There have been alot of reports of the galaxy R screen being not very scratch resistant so thats a real advantage I think.
Ive seen SGS scratched and it includes gorilla.... I'm happy with R's screen , it travells always in a pouch and happy, in regard of GPU maybe mali is better dont know, but in terms of tegra games compatibility for this 2012 I think our Nvidia would stand better chances to play more games without any plug-ins at all.
SLCD is great IMO, and about discontinuity issue, dont have info here in spain but, anyway I dont like to flash alot, all I want is a bug free ICS ASAP, I think is all I expect in exchange for what I paid for, If I were interested 100% in scene I would have gone for the S2 instead, so I dont mind the R not beeing a flagship all i want as i said is to get a decent bugfree ICS.
And another definite plus for the galaxy R is the half aluminum back, it's so nice to touch and doesnt add too much heft to the phone unlike HTC phones which go completely overboard on metal and it ends up being a brick.
I have been looking for Galaxy R from a week now. It is not available on Flupkart,Letsbuy,Sulekha, Ebay.in, and even at websites like Indiaplaza.
Went into a Samsung flagship sotore, they said it is not available now, went to India's leading mobile store chain, Mobile Store, they said, it is not available, we havnt got a piece from Samsung!
What now?
GM(sales India) told me tat they will be dumping galaxy R very soon
He also said Galaxy S III will be released very soon..there must be some business strategy
Pretty Lame Strategy.
It appears as if they are desperate to float in the "S" legacy.... They should have worked on Galaxy R ,for its next release instead...
yea..they will also be launching "Galaxy S advance"...but they have promised ICS update to galaxy R..
EDIT: forgot that this is actually the name of the thread ..my bad

Im unsure which phone to get, I was wanting the atrix but I know moto's locked bootloader causing problems and hate moto blur so maybe the lg x2...but then the samsung galaxy s2 looks better. What about hardware, which is beter orion with mali or tegra?
I also liked the idea of the webtop on the atrix, but that bootloader would mean no custom roms?
What about dev support etc?
Edit - With the ipad2 wiping the floor with tegra 2 (meaning the iphone 5 will have a similar setup) ...are these phones doa hardware wise?
for now it seems like next round with similar performance of soc's will be apple a5 , qualcomm with adreno220 , and samsung orion when they get proper drivers . im not familiar with the texas instruments front but im sure they'll have something sooner or later . that said tegra 2 is a great deal behind all of these .
I'm not sure about the dev community for each phone but I'd pick the Atrix if AT&T ever unlocks the full speed it can go.

I wanted to atrix originally (dual core, 1gb of ram! nice!) but I loved the idea of webtop...now I hear people have replaced webtop with ubuntu! Which would mean we could use not only firefox, but utorrent, nzbs etc! But, like I said before, the locked bootloader is a *****. Which, might be the reason a lot of chefs from xda (and I hear cyanogen) is getting the lg x2.
But i think da_g has an atrix, no love for sam gs2?

Ah sorry, I misread your post. I knew sammy made apples a4 chips, so their hummingbird was essentially the same except for a few minor tweaks and changes. However, is this the same this time round, with orion and a5? The orion has a two a9 cores, with a quadcore mali 400 gpu, apple has decided to stick with PowerVR and opted for a dual-core PowerVR SGX543MP2 GPU.
I wonder which will come out on top? Too early to tell?
here is a some stuff on the galaxy s2
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4177/samsungs-galaxy-s-ii-preliminary-performance-mali400-benchmarked
i dont think its on a final unit or running 100% yet (on the GLBenchmark Egypt, a single core hummingbird beats the dual core orion). Im sure the flash thing will also be resolved at launch.

with those two and the new snapdragon , id say they will be close enuff to let you choose by other features and personal brand preference
Yeah, I heard the new htc pyramid has the new 1.2GHz dual-core snapdragon which is paired with the Adreno 220 GPU (as as the ipad2)...anandtech benchmarked a similar spec'd phone here:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4243/...rmance-1-5-ghz-msm8660-adreo-220-benchmarks/3
It comes out on top, but again this could be down to the samsung gs2 not being a final unit? Who knows...but I will be upgrading soon and want to make sure I get the best possible upgrade (will no doubt have to get it over 24months )

im just gonna wait for s3 now. im on an 18month contract so sorta tied to sgs until next march anyway might as well hold out until s3 is out there then get on at the bleeding edge
I am curious to see what the the HD screen will look like. It will probably be pentile again, will the resolution be high enough to please my eye? Maybe.
Probably won't buy an S2 though, hoping for a beefier GPU in the S3.
Seeing as the SGS2 GPU is not really out-classing the SGS, I wonder how it will cope with the HD resolution. I'm thinking a higher tier of performance (like the huge future gains nvidia is bragging about, or even something like the SGX543MP2 in the ipad2) will be welcome with newer titles at HD resolution.
I'm torn between the Galaxy Note (1.4Ghz) and SII LTE HD (1.5Ghz).
Both with great screen HD resolution, huge sizes, new exynos processor with better battery life, upgraded GPU and other small changes.
SIII is rumoured to have similar specs, maybe a better screen, so don't know if it's actually worth waiting.

'Similar', I think a more heavier word like ' better ' would have fitted into the line, sgs3 is rumoured to have a 2.0 quad core(4 cores) processor and 1.5gb ram( rumoured by many big tech news sites like engadget.com,thisismynext.com,phonearena.com,gsmarena.com),also a 10mp camera is rumoured at back, and a 5mp ffcamera is rumoured ( just read that in 1 article so the news is not so strong and dependable).
And I don't think 'bigger screen size' means bigger phones, if you compare sgs2 international version and sgs2 hd (korean) version then the latter one has a way bigger screen but if you see the lower button pannel, you will notice the buttons have been made smaller and wider so that the device is still not that big and is still just a notch bigger than original sgs2's 'body size'. ;-)

Look on Anandtech. The Mali 400 is almost as good as the SGX540, the Tegra2 and the Adreno 220.... combined!
LTE will likely be the catalyst to get a new phone. Aside from the fact that the technology is quicker, there will be less people using it.
And you can't go past a phone with 720p!

No, the best phone out there would be right now the galaxy s2, this is why:
-Exynos 1.2 gHz processor: much better than qualcomm no matter what (surpassed maybe by the S4 or the Tegra 3 but not yet released)
-Better 8 mp camera: The sensors used by this camera are excellent (maybe only surpassed by the iPhone 4S sensors).
-Mali 400 GPU: One of the best gpu existing today in the market only found in a couple of phones (again maybe only surpassed by the nonreleased chip of the MWC)
-Super Lightweight: One of the lightest phone that some may say it feels cheap but dont
-Super Thin: One of the thinnest phone today only surpassed by the RAZR and other unknown phones.
-Super Amoled Plus screen: Wonderful screen with surprising colors that amaze everyone and with its plus technology it makes a more resolution effect although its only 800x480
this would be some of the reasons of why to choose it

I have to agree here. While I do agree the SII is better (yeah I'm a GNex owner and my butt is a bit hurt from it) I don't see the margin of difference terribly large. The GNex is still an outstanding phone.
how much is "soon"?
If I was in your shoes, I would prob wait for Samsung galaxy S3.
I agree the international version of S2 is the best, the galaxy nexus does have a excellent screen, one of the best noise cancellation to be found on a phone. Top 3 android phones until Tegra 3 hits is Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus, Droid Razr Maxx.
Wait for GalaxyS3
I have a galaxy s and its amazing. I cant wait for the galaxy 3
Sony Xperia S, it's got a 12mp camera. The best in Android
This is 3vo CDMA (sprint) not GSM (tmo, att, or a carrier that gives a sim card)
EVO 3D. Even though 3D code is only for sense 3.0, the 3vo has quite possibly the best selection of rooms I have ever seen. So far we have:
1. AOSP
2. CM7
3. Sense 3.0
4. Sense 3.5
5. Sense 3.6 (work in progress, or wip)
6. Sense 4.0 (wip)
7. Evo view 4g sense (tablet rom on 3vo)
8. ICS 4.0.3 (only issue is camera)
9. CM9 (same as ics)
And maybe more.!
Not to mention our various tweaks, amazing quadrant scores, dual core processor, 1.5 gHz STABLE over clock with good battery life still (we can go up to 1.8 but its unstable and can pretty much destroy your phone), dedicated developers, qHD screen, and soooooo much more. You should check us out
Plus, with the recent hboot downgrade ability, our phone is now "unofficially unbrickable" which means I can do ANYTHING to it and I can restore it. This phone, even with a select number of issues, is by far the strongest competitor in specs, deving, performance, etc.

I feel it is the galaxy note international version (the non snapdragon version) with its 1.4ghz cpu.

Just a couple points. The galaxy nexus doesn't use a Qualcomm processor. It uses a TI OMAP. If the Exynos is better, it isn't by much.
The GPU is a PowerVR which is probably weaker than the Mali but still decent. It runs Grand Theft Auto III really well, which is the most demanding thing I'd ever do on a phone GPU wise.
The screen on the Nexus is also AMOLED but full 720p (1280×720) instead of the 800X480 on the S2. It is pentile but the resoultion is so much higher it more than makes up for it. This is clearly a winner for the Nexus IMO.
Also the real pros in buying a Nexus:
Faster official updates and completely stock ICS (no touchwiz, sense, motoblur, etc)

Sony may not have the most cutting edge tech in their phones, but I know they are polished quite well. It was Sony Xperia S coming with GB, not ICS that held it back in my mind. Any ways it will update eventually. Please check out my thread, its a discussion of a similar manner.

Is there really any competition with these phones or does one blow away the other hands down?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
Well since we have no idea what the official specs of the SGS3 are we can't really say. All we have is rumors, but some of the thing we can be fairly certain about are the exynos quad processor, a 720p screen, an 8-10MP camera,and a screen size ranging from 4.5-4.8". The main difference will be the processor and the screen size. If you want a hybrid phone/tablet the note will be best, if you are looking for pure performance then the S3 will give you the best results. You can't say one will blow the other one out of the water without solid spec sheets and an idea of what you want in the phone.
I am excited for Thursday. I hope that we don't only hear about the SGS3, but maybe some intel on when the TMobile version of the Note will be released.
I am going for the Note. Buying an international version is not an option for me financially, so it rules out these quad-core processors, which are probably not needed right now anyway.
I am still using a TMobile G2, and it does everything I need it to do. It only has 1 core I am sure at like 800 mhz, though I am overclocking it right now due to the fact that it makes it easier to run. Either way, that processor can't be as nice a the Galaxy Note's dual-core 1.5 ghz processor.
Quad cores are just being used in desktop computers really, so it's no surprise that you shouldn't really NEED it for a phone. I don't know the official technicalities to backup my statement, but it seems common sense.
I will look forward to having the GNote specific applications, S pen, and screen real estate. Can't wait!
S3. Only reason to get Note over GS2 is screen/pen. Not worth it imo.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Not a fair competition at all. S3 should be compared to phones of the same calibre, like the HTC One X.
im sure someone will do a competition of these two phones. Even whitout the S3 full specs we all know who will win.
Quadcore is more than necessary for me
One phone!
HTC Evo Lte dual core s4 which is really fast.. It beats tegra 3 in some tests.

i think the SG S3 will be the same as the Note ( pen included ) but with a 4.6 screen
Each have their pluses and minuses. The GS3 will have the latest and greatest hardware and ICS out if the box, but the Note will have the bigger screen and S-Pen.
But seriously you're considering a phone already 6 months old vs a phone that will just be announced tomorrow. I love my Note and it has worked flawlessly for me, but I know after tomorrow it won't be the best hardware wise compared to the GS3. But that doesn't mean the Note is a slouch at all. The good thing though is I have my work phone with Sprint and my upgrade is June 30, so I may pick up the GS3, so best of both worlds!

The S3 will most likely have a 4.8 screen
..Can't wait for SIII
IiI can relate to the question I have a gsii and I really lobe the note. I will wait to deer what the new galaxy offers this weekend. I live near the brand new Samsung shop in Westfield next to the Olympic site and they reckon that the should have demo models this Saturday following the event tonight.
I only wish there were a gnote2 being announced. I love the idea of stylus
and big screen.
I have high expectations for GS3. Let's see what they have to offer for us today.
Anyway, I like my GS2 better than Galaxy Note already, so it seams clear to me that GS3 will also be better.
hummm, i like Galaxy S III better.
How do you like HUA WEI Ascend P1
BTW, I'm still waiting for media pad 10 fhd of HUA WEI
There will be quite a big difference according to the specs!
Well we will see at 7pm today
The SGS3 will be more popular than the Note, because the SGS3 is the direct concurrention of the HTC One X, iPhone etcetera.
If a phone gets really popular, you get extra things from the producer, like firmware upgrades etcetera.
Pick SGS3 after 7pm.
PS it is being expected the SGS3 will arive at the stores in approx 7 days
hahaha note vs a quadcore baby doesnt stand a chance find out today at 7:00pm GMT London time
according to leaked specs the s3 will have a 12mp camera a 4412 quadcore processor clocked at 1.5ghz
a mali 400(same as in the s2 just clocked much higher)
a 4.8 inch 720p HD regular RGB matrix not pentile
wireless charging (big maybe wuold be cool but unlikely)
2mp front cam
touchwiz bullcrap on android 4.0.4
a ceramic back
we all will know in few hours time ~~~ *wait patiently*

WAIT PATIENTLY !!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO IS GONNA DO THAT I WANT MY SIII NOW
Hey guys
Im new here. I am looking to buy SGS2 for about 26k. The problem however here(in India) is that the sellers say that they cannot distinguish between 9100 and 9100G, the model could be either of these..so its kind of a gamble, i could either get 9100 or 9100G.. :|
Now i researched quite a bit and have seen few negative reviews bout 9100G..that processor and gpu are inferior, processor doesnt reach its maximum limit(clocked at 1.008 ghz), and performance is slightly lower than original 9100..
So basically i just want to ask..whether the performance of 9100G is really that inferior, quite noticable in demanding apps? I mean i want to do loads of multitasking, heavy gaming etc.and will buying 9100G for 26k be worth?
Or i could buy some other mobile like htc evo 3d or motorola atrix 2 for lesser price and get similar performance to 9100g?
please do answer asap, im really eager to buy the mobile
thanks a lot
Even I am planning to buy an Android phone but getting confused between Galaxy Nexus and S II. What phones did you considered before coming down to S2 ?
well the thing is i was planning galaxy s plus..but thought why not shell some extra cash and get s2 which is better and will be future proof..
However this 9100 and 9100G problem has really scared the hell out of me..thats why wanted to know whether 9100g variant would be worth or not..
ok did you check Galaxy Nexus ? same specs/same price with better screen resolution.
Hmm well, firstly quite bigger, secondly i have heard it has compatibility issues with lower android os apps..
Also, i wont get samsung warranty in India..only dealer warranty..thats a big drawback..plus only 16gb fixed memory
Thats why preferring S2..
Reccomend you to buy classig SGS2 (I9100) CUS' I THINK ALL THOSE "FIRST " MODELS ARE WAY BETTER THAN THOSE THAT COME LATER. THEY ALWAYS HAVE SOME disadvantages.Hope i helped you.
Thanks for sharing
Why dont u guys read the initial post
I know the classic SGS2(9100) is better but its not available here (india). thats why wanted to know whether i can settle with 9100G or not..
Something I've forgot. a friend of mine has gt I9100 ad he's too happy with it. no problems so far. everything runs smooth even if you have 5-6 apps on. definitely the best buy nowadays.
