Who ever said the Iphone 5 came out with the A15 arm processor , Well anandtech has only assumed GUESSED there is nothing anywhere that states this SO to that person stop publishing assumption rumours that have not been clarified as of yet.

What is difference between 'most anticipated' and 'more awaited'?

Been a busy day to sat the least.
I am keeping all Apple/iPhone topics out of this section as they never turn out well, and there is an off-topic section of XDA to discuss it in.

I am thinking about buying a Galaxy S II as a christmas present for my brother in law but I am missing a comparison and hope someone in here who have had both a Galaxy S II and an iPhone 4 can help me with a 1 on 1 comparison of the phones.
He haven't ever had an android or an iPhone and doesn't really have a preference but wants an iPhone because everyone else have one. I have an iPhone 4 at work and it doesn't impress me one bit and I would at anytime recommend the Galaxy S II as I have one, but would like an objective comparison!
Thanks in advance
I've used both and I still prefer the S2, and I like Apple products, generally (though not a fan of their philosophy of use.)
Id ask you to consider the Moto Droid RAZR as well, provided its released in time.
I would tell you to get the sgs2...however this isn't the place to ask this questions because as this is a sgs2 forum then people love the Samsung galaxy s2 for the obvious reasons xd

Techradar do good reviews .
One point worth making on the 1st December 2011
SGS 2 is due an update to Ice Cream Sandwich within the next couple of months and this judged on the previews should push the SGS2 way ahead of the IPhone 4 .
Plus IOS5 update not much to write home about and latest IPhone model hardly changed leading me to believe the IPhone 5 may have an early release with a turbo charged user experience in order to fight off the Android dragon .

Wants better apps, then go for Apple.
Want's the customization of android in general then go for the SGS2.
I still have my iphone 3gs (because of my son's games only), tested the iphone 4 from my gf, and SG2 is a keeper!
Maybe Galaxy note or razr are other good options...?
Heres my view....i have both, the Galaxy S II is about 2 days old now though but i did have the originally Galaxy S and iPhone 3GS over a year ago.
Galaxy S II - He wants to Root, put on ROMS, OC/UV, and basically all the customizing/hacking things.
iPhone 4 - Simple and easy to use, amazing battery life, hassle free, great apps.
If he doesn't plan on doing all the rooting and customizations, i'd say go for an iPhone because really, android is all about the customizing.
Im still testing and finding the best option for battery life on my galaxy S II but it really doesn't compare to the iPhone. Not from what i see right now.
I personally got bored of iOS once again and made the change to the Galaxy s II since its the best android phone out right now along with the Galaxy Nexus but thats loads more expensive atm.
But heres one big facter......"He wants an iPhone" If he is leaning towards the iPhone and is more of a simplistic not that geeky dude, get him the iPhone. It would be a better choice.
There's also the music factor
iPhone allows external DAC like FiiO E7 to be used. -However, you're boxed into Apple's iTunes jail.
Samsung Galaxy S2 has a really crap DAC implementation and there's no known way to connect an external DAC via a pure I2s or PCM digital-out manner. Music sounds lifeless on the SGS2. No amount of EQ tweaking will fix the IMD and jitter.
So, if your brother is an audio geek, then Apple (despite the iTunes constraint) is still the better choice.
I ended up purchasing a Sansa player...but I'm still disappointed I can't use my Samsung as the music source because the range of excellent and beautiful audio apps, if it weren't for the crap sound of the pll-jitter DAC, would have made it a very pleasurable experience.

Ok so I already think the SGS2 is better than the iphone 4s for anyone of a number of reasons I can speak of but whats the big fuss over ICS?
what exactly does it / do you think it will offer that gingerbread doesnt? only I havent really seen anything that makes go oooooh must have that, so what am I missing?
Simple dude, it like this, iphone is like Rolls Royce car, exclusive for nerd. Stable and smooth.
But galaxy s2 is like Lamborghini Murcielago. Super speed, super customize, tweaking can make it crazy in performance. but u know this super car need more gas than rolls royce car rite?
Well, for a gift, better iphone, its look tidy and the performance is good, stable. It look expensive. Forget about sgs2, coz sgs2 is for crazy people like me who really want top performances. Go for iphone.

Thanks for all the great replies I think I will go for SGS2 because of the possibilities of customization and I think he eventually would want to root.

SGS2 has:
- Larger screen
- 100000:1 contrast ratio (IP4S is just 1400:1)
- Thinner
- Lighter
- 1gb of ram (IP4S is 512mb)
- 1200mhz cpu (800mhz on IP4S)
- OS customization!
- better 2MP front facing camera (IP4S is just 0.9MP)
- faster 21MB data speeds (IP4S is 14MB)
- External SD Slot (IP4S doesnt)
- HDMI Slot (IP4S doesnt)
- Bigger battery (longer too)
- Flash enabled browser
- Bluetooth file transfers
- Build Quality (see drop test on Youtube)
The IP4S was a very desperate release from apple to try & bridge the gap between themselves & Samsung - however, the SGS2 is 6 months older, has higher specs, more features & a greater performance.
Samsung & google are truly booming... I think apple are getting worried.
Android now has a much higher global market share than IOS, at current growth the Android Market will pass the Apple Appstore in 2012!

if he is a technology geek definetly s2 if not definetly iphone
Why are you asking us? You know your brother, give him what he wants. If he's a hipster and wants an iPhone, then you'd just make him a bit unhappy with the SGS, because he will have to use it. Maybe he will like it!
I am really surprised how reasonably fair and unbiased these posters are.
The very nature of this site is for enthusiasts and this section for those who want to get the best out of their SGSII.
To see quite a few recommend that the brother gets an IP4S is quite amazing. I wonder if a similar response would be given at a similar site for IP4S users.
My ex bird has suddendly decided she wants a smartphone, she knows absolutely nothing about phones, asked me what was the best thing to get i said an iPhone, usually id never recommend anyone getting one of those vastly overated locked down phones but if she got a SGSII she would only end up annoying me trying to get everything working whereas the iPhone is for dummies and everything works out of the box assuming it doesn't blow up when your on a flight

Edited my post for not reading properly.
My personal stance on this is, if person is not that technically(esp smartphone) literate, then give him an iphone. If he is a bit experienced in tech(pc and stuffs), you may try to give him a SGS2.
That's why my parents use iphones, and me and my sister use android, though she's trying wp7 right now.
Go for iphone if = you feel like you are living in 90s era, haha,
Hey, go for iphone. That gonna be precious present even, a solid exclusive gift.
My previous phone is ip4s, sold to my neighbour, shes a girl. I cant use iphone4s, outdated UI style make me boring a lot. Expensive outside but nothing inside. I love my ip4s, but i love sgs2 much more. Sgs2 match my need. You know why i bought sgs2? Because i read somewhere called it a 'legendary'.. 'beast'.. I admit with the title they gave.

Samsung clearly didn't spend the holiday season kicking back listening to **** Clark, or else it wouldn't be able to show off the revamped edition of the Galaxy Ace: the Galaxy Ace Plus. Unimaginative names aside, the budget blower gets a speed bump, to last year's minimum spec -- 1GHz processor, five megapixel camera, 3GB internal memory, HSDPA and a 3.65-inch HVGA (320 x 480) screen (really, Samsung?). You'll get the same combination of Gingerbread and TouchWiz, so you might have to go elsewhere if you wanna upgrade to ICS. The cheapie phone will go on sale this month in Europe, Russia, Latin America, Asia, Africa and China, we guess retailing in the same bracket as its predecessor. Head on past the break to read all about it in a combination of words and punctuation we like to call a

We need 60 more votse to beat the Nexsits, oh sorry Nexus. Come on guys
TO be honest i still can't find out why nexus is a great phone better than Samsung S2
Both now have ICS. Almost same specs with S2, camera only 5MP, no micro slot for expended memory. AND S2 came out more than 1 year ago, Nexus when pretty new like our Note. Haizzz
I like how the experts rank the 4s #1 with 35 points and then the nexus 2nd with only 22 points and the note with only 14 points,seriously what a freaking joke
We got the #1 spot last week! Yes!
Let's keep it there~ Come and vote!!!!

It's really funny how Phonedog splits Galaxy S-II phones as four different phones, when in fact, they should all be under one phone model. No, they won't do that because that would put GS-II ahead of their beloved iPhone 4S! Crappleaddicts!

Galaxy Note has been dethroned by Nokia 900.
Will it have the sustaining power to get the crown back?
It's up to us loyal fans of Note! I voted again today.
hi all ..i have been eyeing on the s2 ever since it was released ..the problem is the price is so steep back then ...RM2100 ..but about 6 months later it dropped to RM 1900 ...then just last week it dropped to RM 1648 ..and today it dropped to RM 1558! it dropped RM100 in a week!? thats insane!! ..just wondering does anyone know the cause of it ?
S3 due out, HTC One due out, Xperia S out, Xperia P due out, Droid Razr Maxx due out. And so on....
And the S2 is a year old now...
Not rocket science.
i am pretty new to smartphones ..but a drop of RM600 in a course of a year is pretty crazy in my eyes ..or is this very common? i also realized that my bro's Galaxy S used to cost nearly RM2000! when it came out ..now my bro bought it for a 2nd hand for RM620 ...wow ....are smartphone prices so unstable? will the s2 cost a mere RM1000 at the end of the year?
Not unstable, simply Market forces. This is how it works, pay top price as an early adopter.
oh...thanks! oh and is the s2 is good phone ? cause i am thinking of other alternatives like htc sensation , xperia s , and arc s ...s2 is great but it ..soooo common and it's design ain't that appealing ..
I have a personal preference for SE phones, they are very well engineered and have been utterly reliable when used all over the world for me. Never missed a beat. But, I also like the SGS2, it is light and fast. The screen resolution is poor compared with Xperia, but has a greater contrast ratio. I don't understand why Samsung omit the notification LED from their phones, so I use "NoLED" from the Market to act as a notification alert. It works well on an OLED screen - very Nokia C7!
Your choice, ultimately. If you don't like the looks of the SGS2 now, you may never do so. So you might not "love" it as an owner.
In the Netherlands the price is still over 400 euro`s , more thant 600 us dollars.

you have to take note that in recent years, smartphone technologies have progress in lighting speed. At the start of 2010, phone with 1Ghz processor was top of the leauge, in 2011, it's duo core who catch the show (Where Galaxy S2 shine), and now its 2012, where quad core and 720p HD screen host the show, specification of galaxy S2 as of today only worth as a medium class. How much you would expect people pay for a medium class phone?
Other than Apple product, where apple have control over their retail price, it's natural for their price to drop as technogies advance. Well, only idiot apple fan would pay for overprice piece of product near it's debut retail price when it's so obsolete.

I don`t agree with you, had a galaxy note for 2 months and sold it again and went back to the s2. The s2 is way faster, more responsive and has imo a better screen. This is after a year still a top three device, but that`s just me
IMO even till now s2 is still pretty beastly ..at least quadrant , nenamark wise ..it still the highest in the business even after so long ...even higher than Xperia S , nexus ...
Tell me about it.
I bought my SG2 last month for 760$ (in Israel). Now it sells for 670$.
My biggest issue is the money , the only thing that the note 2 has is the newer OS and multitasking and slightly larger screen size , Im assuming you can root, and or custom recovery /boot loader / rom with the Note , having said that , is it a better deal ,? I can see getting a refurb of this model ,49 bucks as opposed to a new note 2 at $250
Little features here and there. Slightly better screen, faster but nothing rooting can't cure. Im in no rush to upgrade

if your a first time buyer... for you I would say the Note 2...
Money is the issue as you said, and myself personally cannot stand the switch to 16:9 from 16:10..
BUT, for almost everything else, its worth it... going from the crappy S3 that powers the i717 (the US branded versions at least) to Samsungs own chip... an extra GB of ram and so much more in the software department (the AT&T GNotes ICS is a plagued beast... runs like trash comparatively)...
The Notification LED (why the hell they didnt have it in the OG note is beyond me), the bigger SPen...
TBQH, the ONLY thing I dont like about the Galaxy Note 2 is the change in aspect ratio and loss of PPI due to it... thats it! Nothing else can I dislike about it...
A reason to skip it besides money? The Note 2 being more narrow and a lower resolution are the only things I can think of (like Hammerfest mentioned). Since you don't even have the Note 1, you should be fine.

For my two pennies. I say passing up on a Note i717 , would be a mistake, let alone avoiding Note 2. Lots of GREAT offerings can be found in this neck of the woods.
No one has suggested he pass up on both... It's an "either or" question. So the only reason to get the Note 1 over the 2 would be because of the size (narrow), aspect ratio (decreased), pixel density (decreased), and price... but the OP said not to consider the price difference.
The reason I say this ,is rom development and kernal development , I mean I couldnt tell ya when the last time I had something stock was, ,stock lasts about a week on phones and tablets for me, my current phone is Samsung Focus 1st gen Win7 phone with the 7.8 rom on it , its a nice phone ,however the screen size is too small and yes Ive considered the Nokia 920 , but rom development is really slow ,Microsoft wont release the api's so its a difficult learning curve , my Table is an Acer a500 its running ICS right now and I continually change out roms , the price point is an issue , I can get the nokia 920 as an upgrade for like 50 bucks and the OG Note for 150 , I just think in terms of how far can I stretch the technology (my phone and tab are examples) , sure the latest and greatest are fun if I had the money but I dont , the screen is what gives it away for me , just seeing it is enough to make me a believer (plus I have big hands )!
I think if you are concerned about ROMs then you may be better off with the Note 1. It seems to me that the Note 2 is heavy on Touchwiz (Spen and multitasking), and you could potentially blow all that out of the water with a ROM. Plus, the Note 2 is divided into so many different variants that development may take a hit depending on the popularity of the one you end up buying.
BlackZenith states my point of view much better than I. i717, large and in charge, for some time now. Proven reliability, tonnes of groundwork laid thanks to the hard work of all the DEVS around here, some super sweet ROM/mod offerings. No signs of slowing, perhaps just at it's beginning. Very grateful to be enjoying it all.
I have a note l and from my look at the note ll if you can afford I would go with the ll. I like the larger pen a lot and with what I see as close to the end in development for note1 the whiz people will switch there talents over to the ll.

At first, I was going to flip my OG Note for the Note 2. But, I decided to wait this one out. My OG Note is running FJ's AOSPxXx-ICS ROM right now and it feels good. I can only imagine how a custom CM based JB ROM will feel like (waiting for the source to be released, before I flash a JB ROM now) With that around the corner, that's why I'd rather wait to see what the Note 3 or the S4 for that matter (talks of a 5" screen on it...which I could do). Technology changes so quickly...devices are old before the ink dries on the manifest.
So if I were you, go with Note 2...
If money weren't an object, I would go with the Note II. The battery life alone seals the deal for me. Add in the processor and improved S-Pen apps and its the obvious choice to me.
Now, I have the Note I and am very happy. Development is strong and we have a new base for TW ROMs coming from the gt7005. JB will come soon enough and well have most of the features of the Note II.
