Hello All,
I was thinkin of getting the new Samsung Galaxy S 2, but when i took a research i noticed that in the Netherlands the Galaxy s 2 has a dual 1.2ghz with 3g network.
ht tp :/ /sh op.w ww.hi.nl/hi/RAPRD/Samsung-Galaxy-S2/TSAI9100bl.html?M5Referer=google_gsm
& when i searched in Germany it has only a 1ghz dual processor with a 4g network.
h tt p :/ /shop .phonehouse.de/handys/viewDetail.php?iModelId=1116&gclid=CLaF5pW5_KgCFYSGDgodoH07SA&Apid=Hurra
So, did they bring out different types or did they made a mistake?
(just like i some sites post the SGS II has a 5mp camera..)
all very weird..
The thing why I bother is, i'm going to buy the phone in Germany, but i'd like to have the 1.2ghz version they sell in the Netherlands...
Thanks in advance,

No, it's always a GT-I9100 (sgs2) with 1,2 GHz and 4G (the icon onscreen is H+)
Some websites say that there will be a GT-I9100T with a Tegra2 powered cpu and a lcd screen
But i think it would be a Tegra2 powered cpu and a superamoled+ screen...
Dont call me liar or something else, this was what i have heard
Edit: and it's always a 8MP cam

The thing is, i've found on serveral sites that there 'are' diffrend versions,
look at this:
h ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II
that's probably the reason why they sell a different version in Germany,
but it leaves us a main question, will the GT-I9100 or the GT-I9103 be the better phone.
maybe i should wait a few weeks searching which will be better, before buying the phone.
Two versions are Xynos and Tegra, no idea if I've spelled them correctly.
But the Xynos is better with 1.2 GH'z, where as Tegra is 1 GH'z.
Only advantage Tegra has is that is specialised for gaming I think..

The Mali gpu is also more powerful than the GeForce ULP. As you say the only advantage Tegra has is gaming, but that can be bypassed when we get the plugins needed for Chainfires awesome app.

I don't understand why you're quoting me, you're saying the same thing as i did.
Here in Portugal I heard that here we'll be getting the version with SLCD screen and possibly the Tegra cpu. However saying that, I cannot find any reference of any retailer here selling the S2 yet or any launch date for it which I find strange.
I also heard that there will be a Galaxy S2 mini version with 1.4GHz cpu and 5MP camera.
When I bought my SGS 2 in The Netherlands I asked if they heard something about a Tegra2 version with a possible LCD screen.. They had not heard anything about it. Im pretty sure in Europe every SGS2 being sold right now is Exynos 1.2 GHz and SAMOLEDplus.
Here they also talk about the two version's: h ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II
After searching on the net, i'm still not sure where the different version's will be launched..
Maybe in a week or two we will find out ;p

Hello, I saw somewhere that Galaxy S 2 has two different processors. I bought phone on saturday and I would like to find which processor has my phone? Any advice how to find out? And also,are they same quality or are they different?
Thank you
Google search is amazing, you should try it. Xda has a search feature also. If you got a box with your handset it probably mentions which one also.

There's rumor about a HongKong version with Tegra 2 1.2Ghz and SAMOLED plus display
Also, the FCC certification records show three different models approved for the US market:
I9100 (FCCID: A3LGTI9100)
I9100T (FCCID: A3LGTI9100T)
I9100G (FCCID: A3LGTI9100G)
I'm assuming the I9100T is the Tegra version, based on the suffix. Nothing in the publicly available docs I've looked at confirms that. The I9100G is new -- it was apparently added to the FCC site earlier today.

Per Engadget/pocketnow, one of those must be a CDMA variant for verizon and Sprint
So I checked info in my phone and processor is 1.2 GHz ARM V7 dual core. No Tegra.I just hope that this processor is good. I think they used ARM for Galaxy S.

Both Tegra and Exynos are of same family.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#ARM_cores
They maybe little different in terms of implementation. I believe the Tegra 2 is without NEON instruction sets.
May not be a strictly easy way to compare which one is better. I think the general consensus is Exynos 4210 has overall better performance compared to the Tegra2.
I would think that you have Exynos (atleast I myself would like that).
cheers..

My guess is that it's the G version. When I looked through the FCC docs last week, it appeared to me that the I9100 & I9100T supported AT&T's set of GSM frequencies, and were, in all aspects pertaining to FCC certification, identical.
I haven't had time to look at the FCC docs for the G version, as they were put up less than 24 hours ago, but if it's a CDMA version for Sprint/Verizon, it should be readily apparent by looking at the list of certification documents (i.e. they mention CDMA frequencies instead of GSM).
Galaxy S vs. Galaxy S2
OK I am quite worry about processor in my Galaxy S 2 now. I checked Galaxy S vs. galaxy S 2. In quadrant system informaton about CPU is this :
Galaxy S
Name : ARM v7 Processor rev 2(v7l)
Cores : 1
Architecture : 7
Revision : 2
Galaxy S2
Name : ARM v7 Processor rev 1(v7l)
Cores : 1 ... ?!?
Architecture : 7
Revision : 1
So did they used the same processor but just changed speed??? Cores 1 ??? Maybe system info is wrong, but I think this is strange, don't you think???
Maybe thsi program is not made for Android 2.3.3 ?
Do you know which code is for CPU information?
From what I read, Quadrant cannot dual cores, and lists it as one core.
Quadrant reads the LG Optimus 2X dual core as a single core. I presume it is thus for the i9100, and any other dual core 'phone.
I tryed few app from the market and they all read same information.Hopefully I have dual core CPU...

Quadrant just gets it wrong, don't worry your S2 is fine and does have a Dual-Core 1.2ghz processor just look at your quadrant result...3000+ you're not going to get that on a stock Kernel from any single core phone are you ?
Hope that helps you
Thank you I had about 3000 just wanted to know what type processor I have in my phone.

I picked up my Galaxy SII after seeing the disappointing specs on the iPhone 4S. But today I read preliminary benchmarks and it smokes the SII.
Sorry, unable to post a link yet.
How can a 800 mhz cpu beat the SII's 1.2 ghz processor?
I am confused. Am I missing something?

Because benchmarks don't mean jack ****.
Look at how Quadrant scores are all over the damned place with no correspondence to actual usability.
its all about the software. I expect some good gains when moving over to ICS.
Edit, corrected iPhone processor family name.
Trying to benchmark across different operating systems and hardware is not easy to accomplish, but I can tell you that an (Apple A5) A9 800 mhz duel core Samsung processor is not faster than (Exynos) A9 1.2 ghz duel core Samsung processor.
Yes both phones processors are made by Samsung

This is true but your wording is a bit confusing. An "Apple A5" processor is a dual core a9 processor with a powervr 543mp2 gpu. An A5 processor is an Arm core made for ultra low power. Basically both the apple a5 and the exynos processor have have the same processor architecture but there are many other factors that can influence performance like the GPU, memory, cache, decoders, ect. In this case i think the main discrepancy will be the software thats so different between the two.

I did not doubt that both processors were of the same type and architecture, but I did not realize that apple A5 was just an apple brand and that both processors were A9. Both are still Samsung family processor one clocked at 800 mhz one clocked at 1.2 GHz

The iPhone is probably utilizing the processor to it's full extent, while Gingerbread (and Android in general) does a terrible job of utilizing the power of the hardware.
ICS should see a nice performance increase on dual cores.
OP is probably refering to the benchmark for gaming. It's not the processor that lacks on GS2. If iPhone 4S does come with the same A5 as iPad2, its GPU will smoke Mali400 in GS2 in almost every benchmark test (in most benchmarks, it is twice as fast as Mali400). Just checkout the review of Internationl GS2 by Anandtech.com with benchmark comparison of GS2 vs iPad2 and other smartphones. It is not the Quadrant or Linkpack benchmark but rather the professional benchmarks measuring fill rates and triangle thoughputs etc.
Processor performance wise, it is probably a wash because both are based on the same ARM design.
Although I do agree that benchmarks are just benchmarks, I am still surprised.
Is it true that Gingerbread only utilizes one cpu? And will Ice Cream Sandwich utilize both?
And BTW, I am by no means an Apple fanboy. I had been waiting for this phone to come out to replace my dinosaur BB 9000, so I wouldn't have to get an iPhone and deal with iTunes.
iOS5 > gingerbread. Sad but true.
Hope ICS comes out soon. It seems to be on par from what I hear.

I think I saw the benchmark in question - it was a GPU-heavy benchmark for a workload that most users won't experience 99% of the time. (It was a GPU-bound OpenGL benchmark. The GPU of the iPhone 4S IS faster than ours for 3D work - but unless you do lots of 3D gaming, it's wasted. Also, 3D is kind of a waste on a 3.5" screen.)
Apple has an extremely long history of misleading the public with selective benchmarking. Back in the Pentium II or III days, they claimed one of their machines was twice as fast as an Intel machine clocked at least 50% higher. While I agree that MHz isn't everything, there's a limit to that. In that case, on a single Photoshop benchmark that was optimized for PowerPC by using AltiVec and running non-optimized on the Intel chip (despite an optimized MMX or SSE implementation being available), the Apple did better - and Apple used that to try and make users believe the machine was twice as fast for all workloads.

I guess the benchmarking was for the javascript using safari browser. So it's apple vs oranges. Also completely 2 different OS. Let's run quadrant if it's available for iOS the see how it handles. In the mean time enjoy the best and fastest smartphone currently in the market no matter what other says.

It could be ten times faster than a GII, but it still has a 3.5" screen, and I-jail. My wife and kids have Iphone 4's and there is no way I would trade no matter how fast this new one is.

Except for the wife and kids part(I have neither) this. Very much this.
Just ran the SunSpider Javascript on CM7.1. Results seem to be quite a bit better than the ones I see posted on AnandTech. Obviously they were running the GS2 stock but I was surprised to see my numbers so low. Also did the GLBenchmark and while the Egypt was slower, the Pro was faster on CM7.1. Coin flip to me it seems...
Those are just plain synthetic benchmark, what does it mean for RL usage? not a damn thing.
You think all the fashionnista who's buying iphone 4s gonna care how fast their CPU are?

Hi every body,
I'm looking for an answer that I've the opportunity to buy the S3 quadcore international version or the dualcore LTE version.
Which one have the best benchmark ?
Which one have the less battery drain ?
I'm french ... so does the LTE version be compatible with french 3G+ ?
Thank for your answer
If you mean hspa+ for 3g+, i think it should work. I'd take the dual core over the quad core, as it is based on a newer architecture and android is not even optimized for dual core properly, let alone quad core. The snapdragon s4 beats the exynos in core to core performance. It should also fair better in battery as well, but may fall a bit short in benchmarks.

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to know any provider in US is providing the quad core version of the phone? I have to get myself a new phone. And will weigh my options between iPhone 5 and S3 (just waiting for reviews and comparisons), but wanted the quad core version of the Galaxy S III.
U can get them from newegg brand new but at full price.
All the us carriers have the dual core version. And actually my brother has lte dual core version from T-Mobile and according to our test, his is slightly better in the graphics department and mine is better in cpu but not enough to tell a difference.

I would rather choose the dualcore version. The overall speed is the same, but the snapdragon processor didn't heat up so much as the quadcore version . And the 2GB of RAM are great

I beg to differ. I actually have both devices currently. The overall speed is slightly different. The dualcore seems a bit quicker but it's not as smooth and fluid as the 9300. You really can only tell having them side by side by the US version is slightly more jerky than the 9300. I'm not saying the US is a slouch at all but side by side you can see the difference.
The JB leak on the US version has made it super smooth though. I believe project butter is farther along on the dualcore JB leaks than the 9300 leaks.
About the heat, my US version actually heats up more than my 9300. The Ram department I'm not seeing a huge difference there either. I mean sure the US has more free ram available but so far I havent noticed anything too different. I mean I have over 700mb free on my US version now. I opened an app like 20 min ago came back to it and it had to relaunch so even though I had over 700MB free the app still closed itself(or android did)
They are both great devices and I do find myself switching between the two. LTE is very nice..
I really really hope they release a quad with 2gb and LTE in the US like they are in other parts of the world but I doubt they will since in their eyes NA already has a LTE capable GS3 with 2gb of ram. That would be my perfect phone
So I wouldnt hold my breath for them releasing one in the US that just has Quadcore with 2gb of ram and LTE but I guess I can hope
The international version has a faster GPU by quite a way. However, if I were you I'd focus more on whether you require 4G than whether you can get hold of the quad core. The reality is that the quad core processor is not better. If I had the choice I'd have gone for the S4, but of course that choice was not there.

While many are responding to your question about S3 quad vs US dual core differences, I wanted to respond to your iPhone 5 vs S3 doubt.
I think you should first of all think about screen size. In my opinion, 4" and 4.8" are totally different things. For me the choice is simple, I wouldn't want the iPhone because the screen is too small. The apps can be fantastic and fluid on the iPhone, I will enjoy them more on a (much) larger 4.8" screen. The iPhone 5 seems to really have a (exynos 5 based) dual core A15 based processor, which is pretty neat. The performance should be really great while battery life will be solid as well. Anyway, it all doesn't matter because the screen is too small!
So I would say think about this, if you still have doubts between the iPhone 5 and the S3 (whatever version)

I also own both devices and I've been having such a hard time deciding on which one to keep and which one to sell. The US version definitely is jerkier on ICS. I'm downloading the T-Mobile JB leak right now, but I was running one of the Canadian leaks and it still felt jerky like ICS was. Battery life between the two seems pretty even although the International seems to win out. Also I'm on Straight Talks so LTE isn't a factor for me. The US model probably due to the modems and what not seems to be better with straight talk than my International does. Sound quality I have to say is better on the i9300 vs. 747. Even with cheapo headphones I was noticing some songs sounded worse on the i747 vs. i9300. I'm still going back and forth. The 2gb of ram is nice, but I really haven't seen any difference in the Ram usage between the two. The S4 seems to kill background processes the same as the Exynos. There definitely seems to be more development for the International model over the US one, but seeing as Sprint, T-Mo, AT&T, and Verizon are all the same there's still a lot of development and if one gets a better leak than the others it quickly gets ported.

I never really noticed until I was listening to songs on random. Usually when I go for a run I use my Zune HD for music, but I was using my i747 so I could use one of those GPS running apps and I was thinking man I don't remember this song sounding so muffled and flat.

I have both as well and I'm thinking of using my i9300 as a media player/gaming device and stripping out all the phone stuff and using my i747 for phone functions like surfing the web texting etc.. for the LTE connection (which has spoiled me) But I think I would look pretty funny on the subway with two of the exact same devices. One for my music and one for texting.. hahha
Quad core is the way forward, if you wanted a dual then in all honesty there are better phones out there for the price tag.
A lot of people say that the extras cores aren't always utilized and they're partly right, but the overall feel of the system and gaming in particular will shine through on a quad as opposed to the dual offering.
If you have the honour of being able to choose between them, then you have to weigh up whether you want quad core or 4G.
Personally i've got wifi most places i go and HSPA is rapid for me so it's a no brainer but some ppl just want more, i myself think it's an unnecessary sacrifice.
But thats just my opinion.
I have only used dumb-phones until now and plan to get a smartphone.
I did a little surfing and found Adreno 320 is better than Mali 400 GPU and Qualcomm Snapdragons are better than Samsung Exynos, right?
But in real world they say Note 2 is considered better phone than Nexus 4. I don't understand this.
Different phones top in different benchmarks, and still some things like display quality are not considered in benchmarks i guess, right?
Now I haven't used any smartphone before, and the I would be using it for gaming or watching videos/movies only most of the time as I'm a student.
Which of these phones that I mentioned (all in 23-29,000 INR range) are better than others in reality?
Those who have used these phones or are techsavy might be able to guide me in making the right choice
Just found S3 in India has different specs than in US, Canada etc.
India: 1.4 Ghz Quad-core Exynos 4412,Mali-400,1GB
US: 1.5 Ghz Dual-core Snapdragon, Adreno 225,2GB
Which S3 is better?

I have only used dumb-phones until now and plan to get a smartphone.
I did a little surfing and found Adreno 320 is better than Mali 400 GPU and Qualcomm Snapdragons are better than Samsung Exynos, right?
But in real world they say Note 2 is considered better phone than Nexus 4. I don't understand this.
