Samsung Galaxy S II

[mayanksharma]

Aaah finally got mine in the morning from Noida @ 29K !!
Btw, quite surprised as there is no screen guard provided! Plus, there is no MHL as well.
In fact there are no accessories at all!

Buddy No branded cell phone company provides a screen guard....

Nope, wrong. Gorilla Glass is Scratch resistant not scratch proof. I'd always recommend applying a scratch guard on that beautiful screen.

Congrats and Welcome to GS II family.
But didn't you receive the leather pouch at least?

Nope, wrong. Gorilla Glass is Scratch resistant not scratch proof.

whats the difference between Scratch Resistant & Scratch Proof???

[comp@ddict]

29k is an amazingly low price. wow. congrats man

[Terabyte]

whats the difference between Scratch Resistant & Scratch Proof???

Scratch Resistant Display : It can get scratched, but not easily
Scratch Proof Display : Virtually impossible to scratch that thing

have u heard about Bullet Resistant & Bullet Proof jacket?

now a days all watches are water resistant & not water proof...
so that means it can get water inside but not easily....

Gorilla Glass is scratch resistant that means it wont get a scratch even if u rub a coin on it hardly....

e.g: Nokia N8 full body is scratch resistant

Yup.

Yes.

I am not sure whether a coin will be enough to harm it, blade or a sharp object may scratch it though.

[Zangetsu]

I am not sure whether a coin will be enough to harm it,

I have seen the coin scratch demo...& can bet on that

blade or a sharp object may scratch it though.

a pin is enough to test it...

Spoiler:

its like dropping egg from 10th floor

[Terabyte]

a pin is enough to test it...

Thats what I said a blade or any other sharp object

[ithehappy]

Ahh, don't go OFF TOPIC please. As I said Gorilla Glass is Scratch Resistant, not Scratch Proof.. It can be Scratched. End of discussion . Please read this before saying a thing surely,
gorilla glass scratches ??? YES! - xda-developers
Shells or Sand can scratch it, so forget about Pin and other stuffs.

Finally got the samsung galaxy s2 for 30k. The vendor had like 5 pieces whose plastic warp was not even open around the seal pack box. So really double seal packed. Need to learn alot and social media hub look confusing. Need a good email widget and some info on first setups and what are the essentials to install. Also i do not see any yellow tint but ya phone gets slightly hot when u put against your ear. But well i had the phone screen open for 40 mins!!! so thats to be espected same thing used to happen with my galaxy 3. Found out gps is very good at picking signals even at my home. Will post as i find out more findings. Between the microbe live wallpaper is a battery saver. The blacks are so black than i can see my face reflection on the screen

@elton
for how much did u got it in singapore in indian currencies.

Rs.28872 exact.But it does not have international warranty.

[ithehappy]

Another firmware released for I9100. It's KF4 now, still 2.3.3. No update here in India!
KF4 is out .... - xda-developers

@Elton

Price is great. iPhone 4 is really no VFM compared with this phone. IT has single core proccy, this has an awesome Dual core.

But if somehow we could install iOS in this device then its the ultimate phone

[Zangetsu]

^^may be we will soon see a iphone + dual core phone..who knows

[abhidev]

to compete with SGS-II...guess iphone-5 is surely gonna be a dual core phone.......

[AndroidFan]

to compete with SGS-II...guess iphone-5 is surely gonna be a dual core phone.......

iPad 2 has a dual-core A5 chip. The new iPhone will have the same one...

[abhidev]

iPad 2 has a dual-core A5 chip. The new iPhone will have the same one...

how is it compared to sgs-2 proccy.....?

[AndroidFan]

how is it compared to sgs-2 proccy.....?

iPad 2 has a dual core 1 GHz A5 processor based on Samsung's Orion designs and SGX543 GPU which is excellent...

But the Galaxy S II has a newer 1.2 GHz dual-core Exynos processor and MALI 400 GPU which is faster than iPad 2's processor+GPU combo...

So, the Galaxy S II would probably out-spec even the unreleased iPhone 5...

no screen guard required dude..gorilla glass..

Nonetheless i still care bro! The screen is so lovely!

Buddy No branded cell phone company provides a screen guard....

Dont know about that. But came with Sony Xperia ARC! Bought for my sis last month.
Btw, came with lots of accessories as well!

Nope, wrong. Gorilla Glass is Scratch resistant not scratch proof. I'd always recommend applying a scratch guard on that beautiful screen.

True and point well made!

Congrats and Welcome to GS II family.
But didn't you receive the leather pouch at least?

Thanks pal. My first android phone and what a gr8 phone it is. Loving it. I thought that loudspeaker volume would be a problem as i was using Omnia HD previously. But, it seemed alright and just perfect for usage. Brilliant screen and perfect colors reproduction.
I haven't noticed that yellowish demon on the screen so far..!
Does that happen on particular background colors only?

And yeah came with leather pouch in package. Nice looking pouch and catches lot of attention as well!

Sanchar World, Atta Market, Sec-18, Noida.

So, closed the deal finally for 28,800 INR!! Got screen guard as well for 150 bucks.
Now looking for a Class 6 Micro SD. Asked the dealer about it.
Btw, i am using Class 2 Sandisk 8GB card on phone and so far no problems. I hope thats ok, as i haven't encounter any issues yet.

Yes, the Yellowish tint can be seen if background is Grey and also if brightness is set at Auto or Low.
For loudspeaker sound enhancement you can try to edit and increase the volume a bit by inputting *#197328640#. Though Omnia HD was a phone capable of producing sound of some awesome calibre from it's Stereo speakers, so it's basically unbeatable and not possible from I9100. Anyway enjoy the beast at it's full extent.
And you are welcome.
Regards.

Guys has the yellow screen issue been fixed? any word from samsung on this?

Just asking because I am waiting for my piece from the last two weeks and the univercell guy told me that they are awaiting new stocks...


Final check how is the galaxy s II compared to the sensation? The sensation is priced around 32.5k(inclusive of taxes and insurance) whereas the galaxy s II is 31.5k..

[Terabyte]

@ashwin : Its all about preferences here.
You want solid build, premium looks and the HTC Sense UI which is too good compared to crappy TouchWiz UI then get Sensation.
If you want the phone with best multimedia capabilities and the best camera phone and SAMOLED Plus then SGSII is for you.
Hope this helped

sensation has the iphone4's death grip. but will receive update faster than s2.
