hi friends i want to buy s2 so am confused between i9100 or 9100G
i like to flash custom roms and play games so please suggest me which one is best
i9100
for better games performance and **** ton of custom roms
i9100g for a bug free CM rom on the cost of a few custom roms and late updates from samsung
SPAM... Wrong section.. Post in Q & A section...
EDIT: I suggest u I9100... G version had lil hang problems... As ur from INDIA!
i9100 if you need Galaxy S2
If you want i9100G then buy galaxy nexus and not i9100G
go for i9000g or Gnexus.

I'm a I9100g galaxy s2 user. Just yesterday only I came to know that my s2 is an old one out in whole of s2 series. Can someone guide me if there is a dedicated forum for I9100g users. If not please tell me which all custom rom options I have.

I believe u got it wrong.. 9100 is the old where 9100G is the newer version

There is no dedicated forums, as for Roms please look in the developer sections for thread titles that say i9100G.
Word of advice if it says i9100 do not flash it, it will brick your device.

But performance wise I9100 is better than G version. Also I have only found 3 custom roms for I9100G. If u have any idea of more custom roms or developers please guide me.

I don't know about gt-i9100g, but I'm using SHW-M250S (korean gs2) now.
as i know, there is three type of korean gs2, m250s/k/l. s/k is for gsm, and l is for cdma.
m250s/k is i9100+nfc+dmb(korean tv broadcast)+some pit difference.
if u just flash pit for i9100 on m250s/k, you can flash all roms for i9100 on m250s/k.

And the battery

I don't know about the Korean variant of the galaxy s2, but the major difference between the GT-I9100 and the GT-I9100G version is the SoC. Exynos (made by samsung) is present on the normal (non g variant), and has a lot of dev support because it is the first international variant. The G version has Omap4 SoC, the same as galaxy nexus, which makes it more dev friendly as Omap4 is more easy to develop. However, the G version has 1 GHz processor, not 1.2 (like the non G), tho users are very happy with the G version. It all depends on what you plan to do. If you want to flash AOSP (such as CM9/10) ROMs, you'd be better off buying the G (version) since developers are now leaning towards that. Both phone have custom ICS and JB ROMs, so you don't need to be worried about that.
As far as the battery is concerned, I'm happy with my S2, I can easily spend a day using it with normal use. I plug my phone in at night and plug out after waking up, and use the phone for the whole day without charging again. I guess you could say its reasonable for such a smartphone. I don't know about battery life on the G version, though.
Both phones are alike in physical appearance, and the way to distinguish between them is just the from the bootscreen or written behind the battery on the phone, and on the box ... maybe someone else may tell you more about it.
Sorry for the long post

People in India are not happy about getting the g model in the box when they have paid for the non g model.

the i9100 has the dual core exynos 4210 with mali 400 gpu specs on sheet its faster than omap 4430 , but u wont tell the difference ! the i9100g has a better battery life and is powered by sgx 540 but its overclocked from 233mhz to 384mhz other than that they are the same ! plus i noticed that my i9100g comes with 11gb storage only not 16! which is kinda weird
Dude, give up on the idea and just get a Nexus 4 if you want Jelly Bean.
Don't even think about getting any other Android, it just won't be the same as getting the updates straight from the big G.
Good job necroing a 12 mth old thread
ok so i have 2 S1 phones and 2 S3 phones. i loved the S1 and has been great to me and i bought the S3's because they are power houses BUT its not comforatble to me and i like the S2 look and feel and size of it is just righ tto me and i know that with so many differnt types which would be best??
i live in the UK so basicly im looking for what you guys thing will be the best version of the S2 to get. i dont play any games on phone, well i have unblock me for times when im bored but mostly its internet surfing, personal money tracking and emails.
anyhow if oyu could haev any S2 which version would you get and Y?? thanks guys/girls
I would say the 9100 is the best variant.
It has a great development section and is a great device

The i9100

get the I9100P if you are interest in using the NFC feature in the future.
otherwise the international version is fine.
It truly Depends...
What you need and in what u are interested...
Like SGS II X and HD LTE have greater Hardware... But i9100 have best development support
Peace
Hit Thanks & It will Disappear

Hey guys , I was thinking about swapping the i9100 for i9100g because Exynos is much harder to develop for than omap, and CM10 works without the hwcomposer/mem leak etc. Won't cost me anything. What do you guys think? have any of you done that? thanks
Oh the irony

I saw codeworkx complaints but you basically have few good ROMs for GT I9100G. Only an unreasonable person will Swap his phone the way you want when majority of GT I9100G owners will happily swap for GT I9100.
There are much more ROMs for GT I9100 than GT I9100G.
If Exynos phones are harder to develop for, then what do you want owners of Nvidia Tegra phones like HTC One X to do.
The decision is yours to make. I believe you will get your device swapped within the first 1 minute.
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Supercharged ParanoidAndroid 2.12
Dorimanx kernel 5.78
GT I9100
Next phone: Galaxy NOTE II
Use a JB rom like cm-10-20120925B-EXPERIMENTAL-i9100-linaro_12.08-changmin and it will blow out the OMAP platform lol
Haven't tried newer JB roms yet like RR, but this linaro build is amazing U can use it with Siyah or Dorimanx kernel they are both good
Thanks

oK Guys im going to buy a new S2 of ebay wan basically wanted to know which version of the S2 is the best to buy
Depends on what country your in and intend to use it in, But generally I would recommend the international version GT I9100
The plain gt-i9100.
I have to agree with the above users. The international one is the easiest to handle when it comes to rooting, flashing etc A lot less hustle imho
