I've heard that the Galaxy S Blaze is technically in the original Galaxy S family however specswise it is more similar to a GS2?
is this true?
I was wondering was this a good device to get? I could get a Gs2 of course but I don't care necessarily about how big the screen is but more so if this is a good phone?
If you want to experiment and mess with your phone, take GS2. It has a lot of support and problems are more easily solveable because of its popularity.

My advice: do a Google search about the blaze and s2. And I would definitely recommend the s2

Hi, just planning to upgrade from my Atrix.
Which one would you suggest?
Galaxy S 2 all the way!
Haha I think pretty much everyone on this forum is going to say the galaxy s

G S 2.

Just wondering why you would even look at a Sensation unless you are on TMobile and if you are... why are you here?
I had an atrix before switching to the galaxy s ii and you will not regret it in any way. The galaxy s ii is better in pretty much every way. I wouldn't trade this phone for anything else that is available right now.

You come into a Galaxy S II forum and expect us to give you a non-biased answer... or even tell you to get the other phone? HAHAHA
tl;dr GET THE GALAXY S II
I think I'm unbiased. I've told a person to get the Skyrocket for what they wanted. That said, go with the GSII.
I love my s2 but... I have an option to buy a galaxy note by adding about 50$
Need advice, should I stick to my i9100 or should I go for the note?

Answer is simple, if you can bear that monstrous size, yes.
If not, you know.

Note is just like a bigger SGS2 with lesser Development
Not worth it as SGS3 is around the corner
For me it's also a way to keep the value of my SmartPhone high
When s3 will be out the s2 price will fall hard, the note on the other hand won't drop that hard I think

I'd like to think the same thing too, but if that's your main driver for swapping phones then I'd be against it. I don't think the Note is going to keep its value either because the market for a 5 inch "phone" is very small. I recall the Dell Streak on eBay very well, and just because they're advertising it during the SuperBowl doesn't mean it will guarantee people are going to buy.
Either way you're going to suffer some devaluation especially once the S3 and iPhone 5 are released. I personally couldn't fathom using a Galaxy Note. WIth that in mind keep whichever device you think would suit you better for you in the meantime.
Believe me..you're gonna regret it...SGS II got it all......

To be honest I would love the galaxy note over the galaxy s2, that screen size just looks fantastic But I am already saving up for the galaxy s3 (hopefully will have enough in about June, I like to wait a couple of months after release to make sure the phone is the the best and it has no mayor bugs, reason I got the s2 over the sensation as after a couple of months it was clear the sensation has a crappy dual core arm cortex-A8 cpu and a buggy touch screen + the locked boot loader was the main turn off) As long as the s3 has a bigger screen than the s2, I'll be very happy
I would suggest that the s2 would properly be better for most people, but if you can you should wait for the s3
You will look like an absolute fool and normal people will laugh at you.

Well I'm selling my Galaxy S2 and will buy a Galaxy note. The S2 is the best smartphone I've ever owned by lightyears, but the s3 is around the corner so it will soon lose its number 1 smartphone status. By getting the note now I get to try something new, something that will have more resell value when the S3 comes out vs the S2. So you should go for it buddy!
Only if you have big pockets.

my main drive is that it'll only cost me about 50$ to change it (selling s2 + 50$ = NOTE)

I'm going to go for a Note myself from my current S2, gonna sell my wifes Nexus S and give her my S2.. I like the Note for it's awesome screen and the S-Pen.. It doesnt suit everyone, but for me it's the perfect combination of a tablet and a phone. The screen is hands down one of the best in a cell phone today.

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
Greetings! First of all sorry for my bad english.
I'm watching this forums for some time but I finally made an account because I need some advice.
I have Galaxy Ace at the moment and I'm in a search for a new android one.
So i got stuck on Xperia S, Galaxy S2 or something 3rd
And I'm not sure if galaxy S2 is still worth buying? Is there any better dual core andorid?
Quad core is just to much at the moment for me and I don't see any reason to get one.
I found HTC one S is a great phone but it's to costly for me and I really don't like HTC phones.
Anybody?
Best dual core android at the moment? Or at least best for its value
The galaxy S II is still a great phone. Depending who your service provider is you could maybe even get some other phones, but the s2 is amazing. It is one of the most durable phones, even though it does feel cheap. It will come with touchwiz so I suggest you put a custom rom on it. The battery life is pretty nice on it. The screen is nice, large and bright. The phone is very nice, with its biggest downfall being it feels rather cheap, but still a trustworthy phone.

Go for S3! There won't be S4 anytime soon, so... There won't be a better phone any time soon, so, until then S3 will be the best phone in the world!! (Just like the S2, two years in a row!)

If u have a galaxy s2 . i dont think u should upgrade to galaxy s3
because there isnt that many new feature in it that is worth the upgrade
the galaxy s2 is a great phone and it will suit your needs for another year
so stick with s2 till s4
trust me i had s2 and i went for s3 and i didnt find that many new stuff that was worth the upgrade
The main improvements over the S2 for me are much better screen, call quality (clarity and no echo), hugely improved audio (even better than S1 thanks to siyah audio tweaks) and much much better battery life. Plus an improvement in looks IMO.

Keep the s2. Best phone with minor things missing which can be ported from s3.

I've had my S3 for 2 days now having upgraded from S2 and to be honest so far I think my S2 was better. I was running wajk miui on my S2 and it was great. running stock on the S3 at the moment but i'm finding lots of little bugs. motion to put your hand over the screen to stop media doesn't work, s-voice is pretty crap and it doesn't seem anywhere near as fast as my S2.
Having said all that I'm going to persevere with it and try different roms til I find one that makes it run much better.

Personally, right now if I had the choice of SGS3 and Note 2 I'd go for the note. Faster CPU and more RAM, bigger screen, battery and S-Pen.
Wait for the Galaxy Note 2 if you can put up with the huge screen (in some cases it's the bigger the better but that screen is a little too big for my liking)
