Is it true this is the at &t carrier branded version of the galaxy s 2? it has the same specs as the galaxy s II except for a bigger screen ( 4.5") and it lacks a a dualcore processor, does this mean the galaxy s II will not be released for at & T ?
I think the Infuse will come out at the end of this month or early next month, but the sgs 2 won't come to US carriers until end of this year.

the end of the year? the samsung captivate (also on at & t) was released just one month after the international galaxy s
Personally I'd rather have the larger screen (for video playback) than dual core.
there's a May date floating around for SG2
May?!?!?! I really wanted April. =\
Yea a lot of people are forgetting about the Infuse. I likes the idea and design but Im definitely going to be getting the Galaxy S 2

Samsung has said Galaxy S 2 will come to US in August. Who knows if it is on schedule or if Verizon will drag feet again.
Leaked Verizon "roadmap" indicates a Samsung Stratosphere launching 9/8. Some think this is the Galaxy S 2, originally called Function.
According to leaks on BGR, it will launch in early September and be a monster.
dual core, great screen, latest GB build, thin, candybar style, ... and best of all... LTE.
I bought a Samsung Fascinate about 2 months ago. I guess I got played. -.-

Actually, if you read the details about that phone you'll see it runs on the 800Mhz band, so it is not for Verizon.

Even with galaxy s2 coming out, samsung already has a newer model called cellux (don't know the right spelling), which is LTE with 1.5 ghz dual core 4.3 inch s amoled. It is already confirmed in south korea
Sprint And Light Squared Partnered So Sprint Has LTE. So Those Galaxy S LTE Phones Could Be For Sprint.
So if my phone "breaks" in a few months (I have the insurance) does that mean big red might just upgrade me?

There's always a potential they might considering they're letting people get replacements with the Droid X2, Inc 2, and Charge. I'm hoping the SGSII is nothing more than an initial preview to the flagship devices that could potentially launch this fall / holiday season.
What's a few more months wait once it launches if you already have a Fascinate? Then again no working GPS is making me kind of antsy myself.
Rumor ramblings of the HTC Vigor and Nexus Prime make the SGSII quite forgettable already IMO.
Ok so i have had my galaxy s captivate for 1.5 years and love it. ATT now has a sale until March 28th to get the sgs2 for 9.99 as my upgrade. My question is should i grab this great deal or wait on the sgs3 which is going to be expensive as hell.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
You should definitely get it!
Development has skyrocketed for the Galaxy S II and there's dozens of ROMs available, but the Galaxy S III seems ok but if you're impatient for ROMs 'n' stuff you're better with the Galaxy S II.
better wait for sgs3 and see what it offers and its price and sgs2 price will drop after sgs3
If price is a factor go for it. The S2 is a massive upgrade from the S1.
Sent from my GT-I9100T
if you can wait and afford it, then theres no question. the s3. no amount of roms can make 8 mp 12, dual core into 4 and so on. youll be competing with the best of the high end the likes of the s2 and the 4s.
unless the s3 turns out to be a pile of snot upon release ofcourse.
as an s2 owner since last may, i can say that i picked a gnexus on upgrade but found that the s2 was on a par or better in some respects. the s3, if it bests the s2, is a no brainer.
If that 9.99 is a one off payment its a bet to nothing .

Thanks for the replies. Gonna grab it after work at 5. Any ICS roms recommended or should i stick with GB?

This means he is an AT&T user in the USA, and is talking about an upgrade to the Galaxy SII for AT&T, or the Skyrocket. No chance he'll be able to upgrade to the GT-I9100. AT&T doesn't offer the I9100 at all.
OP, ATT has their own model of Galaxy SII, which is the SGH-I777, and another variant for LTE called the Skyrocket, which is the SGH-I727.
You are currently in the forum for the GT-I9100, which is the international model of the Galaxy SII. There are similarities between the SGH-I777 and the GT-I9100, but there are differences as well. Firmwares are not totally compatible between the two. If you flash an I777 firmware to an I9100, or vice versa, it won't TOTALLY break your phone, but things won't work right.
The I727 (Skyrocket) has completely a different SoC/chipset, so firmwares are COMPLETELY not compatible with either the I777 OR the I9100.
The SGH-I777 and SGH-I727 both have their own forums.

No worries; I just want you to be fully informed. It would suck for you to have gotten one of the phones, and try to flash a ROM from THIS forum. If you had gotten the regular Galaxy SII, it would have just acted weird. If you had gotten the Skyrocket, you probably would have completely bricked the phone.

amazing phone u shud deffo get it ... unless u wanna wait for number 3
What I am wondering is whether most people are making a small incremental jump in their phone (such as S2 to S3), or a huge jump.
I'll go first... I currently have an HTC Desire HD. It is nearly 2 years old now and it has done me amazingly. I plan on running a custom rom on the S3, just like I did on my DHD. With that in mind I may not notice as bigger difference as some people, although that all depends on what CM9 has in store for us.
How about you guys?
I got a Galaxy S2 and a iPhone 4S. And soon a Galaxy S3?
I got a S2. I upgrade to get a bigger screen.

Most people are making relatively small upgrades. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that the people on XDA seem to be phone addicts!!!
I cant believe the number of people who have two phones! How come... work and business, or different networks to ensure signal?

Same here. Long time HTC fan, coming from an HTC Desire S (1yr old). First Samsung phone for me. Hope it doesn't disappoint. My only concern is if i'll be able to live without sense. But seeing what they've done to Sense 4, I'm not sure i'll be able to live with it anyway... IMHO, Sense 3.5 was the pinnacle of HTC's Sense UI... Sense 4 seems like a downgrade, so I think i'll be fine (fingers crossed)
The original Galaxy S. Looking forward to the S III
At the moment Huawei Ideos X5, HTC Wildfire and Transformer Prime. Huawei being my main phone at the moment. I traded few months ago my SGS2 to Omnia W and then got rid of it pretty quick, because the WP wasnt my thing. Been waiting for SGS3 since then.
Coming off the horrible HTC Touch Cruise i went on and got the first iPhone. That was a revolution! I´ve since had all the iPhones up to my current iPhone 4. Now I feel the time is right to check out the *other* side of The Force.

I'm hoping to still get several more months, maybe a year, out of my Vibrant, so that's TBD right now. But if it died on me today I'd pick up a Galaxy Nexus since they're (relatively) cheap without a contract.
S III. Going to get an upgrade on October, so might as well, unless a better phone comes out during then (not planning to get an iPhone any time in the future.)

My 2 years are officially up in August. I'm hoping there will be some sort of leak for the next Nexus phone because I'm not blown away with the S3. :/
I think I could get another 6-8 months out of my phone but I'd rather upgrade to a phone that actually allows me to get 4G data and fully functional GPS.
Next iPhone
One x
Note 2
Or one of the next Nexus phones.
I'm waiting for the padfone myself.

I'm curious what it is about the Vibrant that you like over the Nexus that keeps you going back to it? Been looking at the Nexus, but still really satisfied with my Vibrant and don't want to invest in a phone that's not a significant upgrade.
Got a one s. I thought the lack of removable battery and no sd card slot would kill it, but I don't see it bothering me much. Galaxy s 3 would have been my choice but I heard its gonna be watered down anyway.

Sounds like most of you are going for either the Galaxy SIII or the Galaxy Nexus.
My only worry in this regard is the screens.
The screen is what draws you to the device and Super AMOLED HD screens (minus the plus) just don't do it for me.
But yeah my phone is just dying. So glad I didn't keep that Moto Cliq around though... THAT would be a nightmare.

So I guess you've decided it for me!
I'm going with Samsung again and getting a Galaxy SIII!
Snapdragon S4 processor is ok,
2GB RAM will put me in a haze,
Let's just hope battery life better than the Vibrant's graze.
Are you guys getting the Galaxy S IV or you're keeping the S III ?
I think I'll upgrade to S4. Not a fan of HTC one M7 and Xperia Z is definitely eclipsed by S4.

Where's the "Hell no, I'm buying something that isn't made by Samdung" option?
I'd pick that, since I got burned by defective SII and SIII eMMC. It wouldn't surprise me one iota if SDS crops up in the S4 also. Lesson learned.
Skipping S IV. There is nothing it will offer that is worth an upgrade so soon after S III.
I'll keep it for awhile. The best phone ever and it will be strong for years.

maybe S 5
but if this concept becomes true, i will buy it as soon as possible.
Only thing that interests me is using it with gloves because could help a lot at work, But I've been sticking the tips from some of those cheap capacitive gloves onto my work gloves and works fine, and apart from that I see no reason to give up my S3.
No not that much difference it isnt just bout specs
S3 will have all s4 features soon they look alike.. and 1 thing i wont forget by samsung is the sources

Pffft........I'm waiting for the S6.....even better
Nope,my S3 is still around 4-5 months old and this year if I upgrade again it will be Xperia Z not S4 & I don't see a point upgrading S3 this much sooner either.It performs more than enough for now,for at least around another year & half S3 should be a beast.There is nothing in S4 that wow'ed me like S3 or Xperia Z did when those were announced.I don't need floating touch or online translator app(for that we already have google) + we will get most of new features in S3 after some time via upgrade hopefully
And I don't need a 8 core processor in my phone,hell 4 core i5 760 is even more than enough for my gaming rig.
I usually upgrade every year, but here's why it's a no from me this time around...
(AnTuTu scores)
Galaxy S1 (~3000)
Galaxy S2 (~6000) (200% increase from S1)
Galaxy S3 (~16000) (267% increase from S2)
Galaxy S4 (~21000) (130% increase from S3)
So unless you want it for DC-HSPA+ / LTE (which I'm not going to see any time soon), it's probably not worth it.
