So what I read the only difference between S2 and S2+ is the internal storage.
S2 has 16GB and S2+ has only 8GB. I hope I was able to help you
Edit: I don't know exactly but does S2+ has 4G ?
At least S2 is cheaper
There are completely different hardware s2 have exynos4 dual and s2+ uses broadcom and s2 have 16-32 internal storage camera is almost the same . The gpu of s2 is mali 400 and on s2+ is video core iv s2+ doesn't have nfc only p variant.In performance i thing that exynos4 is better

Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
No lol, that's a sarcastic remark.
I've never had an S2 plus and I never will.
There's nothing plus about this model, samsung released it to take the original S2 out of the market (because yes, it 2 years old, but remains as a very popular device).
S2 doesn't have much support here and it will never be as good as our beloved I9100.
Another deal-breaker, besides the internal storage, it's heavier, 4 gr heavier

Hmm...It means I should go for the original S2.I just wanted know the performance of jb on s2.Is it smooth,how's the battery life and gaming performance ?
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
Well I'm a stock guy and JB is so smooth, can't wait for 4.2.2.
The key is to freeze the bloats#!t that you don't need.
About gamming, I really don't know, never used it for that, but this is a powerfull device, so I guess it wont have any issues with that regard.
About battery, well it depends on how you use it, I got 5h 45 min of screen time once, that's a lot.
Generally, you can get a day, a day and a half. Once you get it, 10 hours tops, you're gonna be all over it all day long
Stick to S2 I9100, it's a hell of a device.
Let me ask you, what are the prices tags of these phones?

Alright... so I currently have an S II Plus... I can honestly say thay it's an excellent phone... Aside from the internal storage, which is because this is a midranger not like original S2 which released as a flagship. The major model (most sold) is the NFC model, so you will be likely to get that. Also, the software is much more polished and less laggy... As the 4.1.2 for the OG S2 is but a leak. Also, trying the two cameras side by side, you will notice that the S2 Plus has a much faster shutter. Oh and to I am running all stock, and experiencing little to no lag. Oh and I got my S2 Plus for around $270, so it is likely to be cheaper than the OG S2.

Havent seen the video, but this thing happens all the time. When you get a great new phone thats recently published, companies are already working on a better version of it (or another better model).
Its usually better to enjoy your current mobile than to be like "I should have waited to get X mobile better", since you could be waiting forever as the companies get more and more new mobiles...
I tell you what... theyre photoshop skills r goooood lool. Only thing i can tell you for sure is the GS3 will b amazing

Hey guys I've had the sensation for six months and all of the time I've had it I've wanted a sgs2, if only somebody would trade me one ( pm if you'd like to hear my offer ).
I'd just like to know what are the disadvantages of this phone or any weak points? Does the phone overheat? When the screen is displaying something black can you see your reflection? Etc...
Oh any by the way what's the difference from the gt version and the normal international version?

The galaxy S2 would be the best deal, it has the Super Amoled+ screen, it has more Ram( 768mb vs1gb ),its more slimmier, it weights around 30g less than the Sensation, more internal storage( 1GB vs 16/32GB ), better GPU, better frontal camera. I have the S2, and i'm very proud of it.

If you are even remotely interested please don't post here, for on my profile and find my want to trade section

Have to agree with the others... it's still the best phone (or top 3).
And NEVER say you don't want a quadcore phone... that makes COMPLETELY NO SENSE.
Who doesn't want more power?
BUT - if S3 is really coming out soon (next month)... maybe see if you can wait for it... because even if you don't want it - it will surely make the prices of S2 drop (so you can find it for cheaper price).
I say get the sgs2, new devices going out all the time and its a beast.

i would wait for the Galaxy SIII to come if it was me, but if you get the SII, you won't be dissapointed.
Rooting IS EXACTLY like flashing a kernel (CF-Root, uses Odin). It's really easy.
And SII is a great smartphone, gets a LOT of development and it's really popular, so it will be supported for a long time imo.
Yes if you don't want to wait for the SGS3. Rooting SGS devices so far have been the easiest. Flash CF Root, job done.
Unlocked bootloaders are a plus on the SGS line unlike some other phones...
It's still a powerful phone and will last you for a while yet.
Yes!!u wont regret it
It's a very good phone although Samsung customer service leaves a lot to be desired . I had a problem with the phone not charging and took it to Sammy
They said it was moisture damage and they could not fix it. Thought they were talking rubbish so opened it up myself and found that one of the plugs was a bit loose. Fixed it and been working fine since. One thing I do have to add is that if you will be spending so much money on this then you should root it to make full use of it

don't hestiate
don't hestiate, buy and enjoy SII. i'm really happy with my Sii until now. Using from May 2011 and never see others devices better than Sii until now. Sorry for my poor English.
Far easier than the Desire Z anyway. No commands at all. All I did was flash a rooted ROM through ODIN then flashed CWM and flashed the ROM I wanted. But I wouldn't suggest getting one now, the S3 is around the corner. Most likely to be comparable to the HTC One X, if not drastically better.
I honestly don't like the HTC One X. It doesn't fit for my uses. It doesn't have external battery and memory card. As I also don't like sense. As I have helped friends to root Samsung phones, they seem quite easy. My main concern is that the phone wont last me long as I seem to have a habit to drop my phone. What preventive measures can I take to not crack the screen?

Hi guys,
I purchased galaxy s3 few days ago. But at the back of my mind i always had this feeling that samsung didnot provide 2gb ram for the quad core version. Also s3 scored less benchmark score than iphone 5.
This ram thing is bugging me a lot cause im worried if my s3 would get outdated too fast. What do you people think? Should i sell my s3 and go for note 2. Is galaxy s3 one of the best phones out there?

The GS3 won't be outdated anytime soon, so you don't need to buy the Note 2 for that reason.
Note 2 if you don't mind the size.

The Note II is to big for me at least so I would probably sick with the S3, but if you don't mind that extra size, get it.
As you use your S III do you have any issues like lagging or any probs that is related to RAM? If not then RAM is not something that should be bugging you. Up until that monsterous 5 inch 1080p phones coming the distance between note ii and s iii will remain quite significant regarding size and purposes. I would stick with my siii knowing that if I had a note ii I could never handle it anywhere like a phone as I would with s iii. Rather, I would have both of them.
if you handle big size go for note if you cant then no, head over to some samsung cafe to have a demo

NOTE 2 BECAUSE SGS3 has only 780 mb ram and note 2 has about 1.6 gb ram
multitasking sucks on galaxy s3 because of that reason
and after updating note 2's firmware you get split screen multi tasking like note 800 which makes it awesome
click thanks if helped
Dude.. s3 is an awesome phone in total. Go for the note 2 only if u want a bigger screen and a stylus. Coz, as of now, the ram of s3 is really sufficient. All games run without a lag, smooth browsing, smooth multitasking. What more u need?? So don't think that s3 is gonna get outdated anytime soon. Give for note2 if u want bigger screen and yeah it has better battery life coz of the humongous battery. Don't switch thinking s3 is gonna get outdated.. hope I helped.

Thanks guys for all the reply's I too feel that the s3 is pretty awesome, but few things are really annoying such as the dialer and contacts lag etc which sammy should have fixed. And also they should have added extra ram. There is no huge difference between the s3 and s2. I am just a student, I saved money to buy this phone, I want it to be perfect that's all
If you want a larger screen, go for the Note II. If you don't, stick to the S3.
If you want to get Android updates first, go for Nexus 4.

Note II is an amazing phone but the problem of the size is very critical for me and also i didn't find any problem from the RAM of s3 it's doing great , and also samsung in a last update said that the next update for s3 it will support multitask multiscreen, so they will not doing something like that if they know that the RAM will not sufficient and sutiable for that ,

Thread title should read "Help me get even more confused guys"
Mostly everybody seems to be giving similar advise. if you are ok with bigger size+ $$ to burn, get a note 2, else you already have a s3.
Why do you think the s3 is not suiting your needs ? i eman do you have any complaints, or just the fact that your phone will be "outdated" soon ? Cos it happens among students (i noted you are one) where they try to show off the most latest gadgets, trust me, not worth the race. as long as it suits all your needs, (guessing music+pics+FB+whatsapp) then s3 is perfect (you already have it so ....)
Lot of folks talking about Multitasking ?? are you sure you actually going to use that feature ? or maybe again just to "show-off"..
I am assuming you may have a laptop already, so...... multitasking ? emails? etc... will they really make any difference ?
No offense but these were my 2 cents and the rest is upto you. my vote - stick to the s3 for now.
Hi there,
Guys I am planning to buy a new high end android smartphone here in India, but I am a bit confused with Samsung Galaxy s3($530 or Rs29000) & LG Optimus G($603 or Rs33000). There is not a big difference in price but as I saw Optimus is much faster than Galaxy S3 and also optimus sports 2GB of RAM but S3 is having only 1GB of RAM.
Samsung is known for its better hardware utilization & regular updates while I dont have any idea about LG for the same. Guys please suggest me for which phone I should go ??

The LG is considerably better in hardware specs (newer, faster processor, double the ram)
The 1GB of ram certainly hurts the S3.
LG is bad at updating, but it seems they are trying to improve that. However there hasn't been a real transformation yet.
Despite this, the stock software from LG is less intrusive and more holo-like than TouchWiz, the aesthetics are better in my opinion.
Touchwiz has the upper hand in features though.
Go to GSM Arena, they have a comparison between them.

When you are asking for high end android smarphone here then I will give my answer is wait for one or two month then go for samsung s4. You will get much better hardware, longer support and updates, and more future proof.

Software itself it's good IMHO.
Updates are really bad though - LG takes a long time to update non-flagships. Which in the short term won't be an issue for you.
But if you are planning to stay with the device for a long while, you might not see Android 5 for your device.
I don't know how good the development for the device will be, but it seems that S3's is far larger.
So, it depends, you could have better hardware, sacrificing future updates or development support (despite S3 having little of AOSP flavor, we have several quality stock ROMs, and that's without mentioning the top quality kernels available )
For the people that complain about Samsung and updates, see this :

Yes it will get updated and suck more due to more blotware. And u can always install custome roms for lg. But I guess op g also will get updated to klp.
