This is not true. He has no support for two SIM cards. In the case of the Samsung Galaxy Ace Duos means that there are GSM & CDMA are in one bottle. Nothing more.
The most interesting fact is that it uses a more capacious battery (1650), which should go to the SGA.
The only thing I like is battery 1650 mAH
as per gsmarena they still don't have the trial model....so if that 1650 can fit in OG ace it would be **** YEAH situation ..
it is released in india where most of user base is on GSM so this phone will be fail... but it is priced same as ace plus which is major fail

I guess this is not true...I have been using i589 almost one year...it has been introduced in the China ( esp. for China Telecom) in early 2011.
The hardware is all same..
Anyway if any guy have the official ROM for i589 ( indian edition) then please kindly provide me.
Thanks

Airtel has already launched 4G in Kolkata and Banglore... Its coming to PUnjab in July
Mumbai? referring to mumbai i was...duh...
quite interesting, im going to check this out
But is it going to be real 4g? In the US the 4g lte networks aren't fast enough to be proper 4G. It should be 1GB/s download from a fixed line and 100Mb/s from a mobile.

If you wait, you'll always get better tech.
That page has a big mistake at least for UK phones: The GS2 has 1.2 GHz Cpus nto 1.0GHz so in real life there would probably be not much difference. The Screen size is personal preference and the download speed for the GS2 isn't supported by UK networks yet so you probably won't see any difference in speeds there. On Vodafone HSDPA+ I haven't got more than about 6Mb/s.
All applicable if in the UK of course.
I waited 6 months for a dual core after my contract expired, damn longest 6 months in my life, never again lol

just wait for the samsung hercules III...technology is always outdoing itself, so if you wait, there's only gonna be the next gen tech that comes out that would make you regret making that purchase. honestly for me, an additional .2" screen, .3Ghz cpu, and extra Mbps (that you probably wont even use) isnt significant enough for me to hold off, unless the original sgsII isn't compatible with your network.

For some reason, T-Mobile's not getting a SGS2 variant. The Hercules is a modified version of the U.S. only AT&T Infuse. It won't have USB2G, Wi-Fi Direct, or Bluetooth 3.0. It'll have a dual-core SoC but it's not intended to be as premium a device as the SGS2. Think SGSZ.

If you're on T-Mobile and don't want to change carriers, then yes, it's probably a better choice. It'll be loaded with T-Mobile crapware and you'll be forever dependent on T-Mobile for updates. It won't sell in nearly the same quantities as the SGS2 and its U.S. variants so it will most likely have less dev support. Also, because it's using a unique SoC a lot of the dev work might not be easily portable from other Samsung phones. Look at the Infuse dev forum and it should give you an idea of what to expect in terms of dev support.
The Nexus Prime should have all bands available for worldwide use. You could take a look into that.
Yeah Nexus Prime will be the phone to rule them all (for awhile).
Its very much like buying a car...
Early 2011 like january or feb 2011? It's great to get the 2011 reg plated vehicle right?
but into the last couple of months of 2011 and you might want to hold on until 2012 for the latest and best vehicle.
Others may wait for 2012 just SO that they can buy the 2011 model, which is just as good for alot cheaper. A bit like all the iphones then... uh oh! I said the forbidden word.
if im not mistaken the hercules IS identical to the S2 but 0.2'' larger sreen

Hi all,
I am from India and I am planning to buy a Samsung galaxy s2 model from Pune, India.
I have recently read on internet that in India, the Samsung galaxy s2 model available is the i9100G instead of i9100 [ which is the original and better one]. So I am confused, what to do? Should I go with the G variant or not?
What I have heard is that the G variant is not much supported and comparatively less in performance than the i9100 model. I may be wrong and that's why I am here asking for your help.
Please let me know what to do? Plus, if anyone on this forum is from Pune and knows where I can get the SGS2 i9100 model, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your answers...
Well I think the i9100G comes with NFC unlike the i9100.
But if you're more interested in software flashing or development you're better with i9100 since it has more support.

Where the heck do you get your info?
In another thread, you said LPQ was a later build than LP7. (which is not right)
As far as I know, I9100G does NOT have NFC out of the box. I9100G is similar to the I9100, but has different SoC/chipset. (I9100G has OMAP4430 CPU, and PowerVR SGX 540 GPU.... whereas I9100 has Exynos CPU, with Mali GPU. This is why firmwares are not compatible between the two)
I9100P has NFC added out of the box, but is otherwise the same as the I9100 in terms of CPU/GPU.

No its the P that has NFC. The G has a different GPU and chipset to the regular 9100, making all the standard i9100 roms incompatible.
Buy the IG9100... Will have better support and you can find more help here for any issues encountered..
Thanks a lot guys for your replies. Even I want to buy the i9100 model, but seems that in India that model is not available. And the pathetic things is that Samsung is selling i9100G models in the i9100 box. This case has happened with 2 of my friends and even there is no replacement guarantee at the moment for them.
Here is a website for that reference which shows the i9100 box and i9100G model inside: knowmydroid.com/blog/samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-vs-i9100g-difference
I really need to check the piece thoroughly before buying it. Anyone know any store or place in Pune where I can buy the original version i9100 ?
Thanks in advance
Mate i m from india too
Don't listen to the fools who say i9100G is better
its total money waste(some games not working,camera problems,no ice cream sandwich,no development,not sgs2 really just a phone looking like sgs2 and i9100G is weaker)
Buy a second hand i9100 or new Galaxy Note(only 1k difference on ebay.in)
Thanks for the reply man. So is it like a brand new model of Samsung galaxy s2 i9100 is NOT AVAILABLE in India at the moment? Even in official Samsung stores?
That would be really bad if that's the case...

Exactly! And that's the reason why the people in India are finding it much more difficult to buy the original version of S2 which is i9100.
The shop/mall owners in India are saying that the Samsung has stopped the production of i9100 piece and that's the reason why we are selling i9100G nowadays.
Is it the truth that Samsung has stopped production of i9100 model? Or is it only for Indian market and in the rest of the places there are still new i9100 models available?
dude buy a i9100 model, you can find more support and devs here on xda.

no samsung didnt stoped production, its just that samsung india is allowed or whatever reason is selling 9100G officially.
you have to buy used or one that is imported. im sure one of the stores must have newimported international i9100. you might not get the warrenty though.
Yeah, I am planning for that only. One more thing is that I visited a local mobile store yesterday. And amazingly, they have the i9100 model available, at least the box says so and I have seen the product code as well and it ends with AINU instead of GINU [for i9100G model].
But the thing I found a bit weird is that the manufacturer was said to be from China? That's new for me. I have heard that SGS2 has been manufactured majorly in Korea or Vietnam, but not sure about china? Is is fine to buy the Galaxy S2 manufactured in china?
Please advice...!!!

Yeah buddy. At least the box says that it's i9100 manufactured and imported by China. The manufactured date is also of August 2011. So may be there is a possibility that this one is from the old stock and not the new production. But that shouldn't be any problem, Isn't it?
Any idea, which Android version I will be getting if its manufactured and imported in August 2011? Just curios...

Hi folks,
i am based in Beijing China and a grey market Korean S3 E210 is actually cheaper then a CHina version (and the mighty Partys love for Google/Play) S3.
But.... which S3? the Korean comes in 3 flavours e210 with S L or K and i really need to be able to use the phone in English (not necessarily the Queens, i m ok with simplified US English too ) and i heard the SLK versions differ in that stuff.
Also, i am at this stage not using 4G LTE as i am waiting for which Band they ll decide in China. so i would for now, run it in 3G mode.
Any idea which one is better suited? If i wanna run JB on it asap since its soo more fluid?
Heard the EU gets their own LTE version with Quad and 2GB hence, o9305 in my line. But that will be around 4600RMB so more then 1200RMB above the Korean version.
Please suggestions... im getting a xiaomi mi2 too end of october but i like the sammis big screen and that somehow the e210 seems to be useble even with MIUI and so on.
I don't know which one, but buy the one without Exynos.

I would imagine that the dev support will be much greater for the i9305, if you care about running custom. But if you don't care about that so much make sure you look at the freq the e210 models use. Each one is different! I made a thread about it because so many people kept asking. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31941726

well i9305 is much more expensive in china then the e210. is it really a different form factor? i know the e210 is thicker and rounder cause of the additional LTE chip, is the i9305 same ff as the i9300?
and... i ll be using it with China Unicom in 3G for now and they run a GSM network unlike China Telecom/Mobile so all 3 versions shall work.
how s the english UI in the korean version? dialer and so on?

the reason its thivker is because of the DMB antenna like i said not the LTE chip, Theres an antenna that slides out of the top of the phone and doesnt look good when its out.
the I9305 is exaclty the same size and look as the I9300 which is why even if its more expensive i will buy this one,
Hi, I'm also in the market for the s3 and just found the korean version online and must cheaper (with the 2gb of RAM - I hate that the Chinese versions are all 1gb).
Did you find out the differences in slk versions.
I guess that you can just install the standard samsung rom to get an english version if necessary no?
You can change language to English. You can't install custom roms/kernels for I9300 on them. Though some devs seem to be working on it.

ok then i wait till i9305 is available in HongKong and the price settles a bit under 4600RMB
otherwise i ll opt for the xiaomi mi2

Check if the device status is modified, if so then it probably will be somekind of LTE variant with an edited build.prop or modification of that kind.

IT IS A FAKE// or please read the specifications as it could be one of those odd china or something models as EP21 posted .
Google CPU and GPU .
It's not I9300. Either your build.prop is modified, or AnTuTu is nuts, the first being more likely.
The description fits SGH-I747 or SGH-T999, including their starting OS variant (4.1.1).
They're US version of Galaxy S3, dual-core Snapdragon S4 with 2GB RAM and LTE. The graphics (Adreno 225) confirm it. A good phone, and it has its own forum on XDA.

Do not reply without knowledge. There are over 10 models of Galaxy S3. Wikipedia lists 13. And this happens to be one of the major models.
Your the genius

Don't apply any updates or flash files meant for the i9300, they will hard brick your phone.
Go into download mode and see the product code then you'll know what model of the S3 you really have.
haha..be very weary of these chinese models.. a friend of mine purchased one of these so called galaxy s4's and when it was brought into my shop i couldnt help but have a good chuckle.. ofcourse it was not funny to him....

Definitely seems to be a USA or some other country variant if the reported specs by Antutu are true, otherwise its a fake.
But normally US variants like AT&T and T-Mobile have carrier logos on front or the back, did you notice any ?
Another thing, which you can do is remove the battery, there will a sticker with Model and FCC ID. You can google the FCC ID to conclude on model. Also try downloading CPU-Z for Android and see what it reports. Carefully note down the senors which your phone has. Normally you can map the sensor names to the chipset your phone has.
In any case, do not flash any software till you are sure of the model.
i'm confused now

Another site:
http://www.imei.info/?imei=353022053919608
I found one I747 IMEI on the internet and checked it with this tool and it was recognized correctly as I747, so I assume that your model was also recognized correctly as T999, because IMEI contains part of serial number also.
T999 - standard HSDPA
T999L - LTE
As far as I know the firmware is the same except for different modems.

You checked the physical device or just guess?
IMEI says it's one of US Galaxy S3, which can be true if you consider the phone was acquired via ebay...

Guess.
Well,just let him do a photo of the device and it's battery,then it will be absolutely understandable. Also,he can google himself FAKE vs Real.
