Good battery life, but no the best

Showdown: Samsung Galaxy S II stars in our browsing battery life championship, not so brightly

It is because of the SAMOLED screen. (when browsing, most white on black, and the SAMOLED consumes lots more energy than the avg. LCD when displaying white and also iPhone 4's screen is incredibly power efficient compared to the average LCD screens.)

Yes. Any latest news on release? I am so disgusted, having no smartphones for 3 days now

Update:

My Chennai friend got it for Rs.35,000. He is currently in office, he just said 'it's awesome', and will check with him about the other stuffs. Here is the link of the store from where he purchased,

Alright, I'll ask, but what will I say how I got his no.?

28k Max is OK, but I am ready to pay 30k if I get it earlier.

Only I know how I am suffering with my E1252, shouldn't have sold Wave this early

[kalpik]

Alright, I'll ask, but what will I say how I got his no.?

Via JustDial?

No need to tell him anything.. Just ask!

[ithehappy]

Alright. Will update here what he said tomorrow afternoon.

Yep.. Launch event tomorrow. But that does not guarantee availability. But I'm hearing it should be available by this weekend.

[ithehappy]

Called Mr.Gulati today afternoon. Got him at 5th try, he said, 'It's not available yet' (we all know it anyway ), I asked when will it release? He replied, 'Maybe within a week'. End of conversation

The launch event confirmation,

Am I seeing it right?

Buy Samsung Galaxy SII (Preorder Now) at Best Price in India - Also find Specifications, Photos, Features & Reviews

Now this is the Indian version right? OMG...

[Terabyte]

^OMG! 33k!!
Thats expensive! Should be atleast 4k cheaper considering O2X costs 26k!
Heck they haven't even specified which model it is, 16GB or 32GB!
But its definitely here now! Much of the info will be known tomorrow at the launch!

[ithehappy]

Yes, it's high. But I'll take that if it's the 32GB version. Anyway store prices gotta be lower.

[kalpik]

Yep, hoping physical dealers would be able to offer it at a better price! Also, remember, the one on letsbuy has MHL cable, case, screen guard and car charger.

Finally some concrete news:

"Samsung today unveiled SGS2 for the India market at a press event in New Delhi. Samsung has priced it at INR 32,890 for the 16GB version and you will able to buy it starting June 3 at any Vodafone store or from June 9 at any retail store."

no. wait till July. price should come down a bit.

[ithehappy]

The one available in Vodafone store will have locked SIM right? I mean, can I use any SIM card with that one? (However I won't use any). The MRP is Rs.32,890, so street prices will be definitely around 30k. That's good.

[sam]

launch price is 32890. so market price is likely to be 29999 or less. i.e. 4k cheaper than Optimus 2X. a small premium for having an extreme mobile processor & a brilliant screen.
