I guess that someone refers to a kind of fruit that doctors hate most...
Funny, i get this feeling that a certain company is behaving like a spoilt brat.
And I do not mean Sammy.
with so many sales i see devs targeting the mali gpu and forgetting tegra exists
Compared to the iphone it's nothing really.
You think they'll sell another 15m in a month......
We have a lack of devs for SGS2, I mean at any HTC device section you have a ''team'' working behind MIUI for exemple, making the dev of the rom pretty fast and perfect.
Here we had a good launch of roms for 2 weeks then nothing...
I am sure we can port HTC Sense 3.0 into sgs2 but we need more devs

Lets think about this in a different way - suppose apple licenses iOS to other vendors, do you think the iphone (and not all iOS phones) would sell 18 million per quarter. It's a very hypothetical situation, coz we all know that apple would never give licenses to other companies. Right now the scenario is that anyone who wants an apple/ios phone, u have to buy iphone. Similarly we could argue that if GS2 was the only android phone, it would sell much more than whatever its selling right now.
imho, sales figures of GS2 are quite good considering no-less than 5 "premium" android phones available at present, and maybe another 100 medium-low priced options in market. If they sell anything more than 10million, it's a bonus.
2,9 million or so of that were sold in Korea I think, and Koreans are crazy for everything Samsung does, so it's not a huge number for me. Apple sells 3 million iPhones in a week.

In koreaherald says clearly: "Samsung Electronics Co., the world’s second-largest maker of mobile phones, said Sunday its overseas sales of the Galaxy S2 smartphone topped the 3 million mark 55 days after its launch."
If you are correct, then the total numbers of S2 are 5.9 millions. Consider that S2 isn't even launched in many countries including the US ...
Apple had better plans for Samsung. They are now requesting for a court injunction banning Samsung's from being sold and should be removed from all shelves. Bastards...

For those comparing apple iPhone sales to SGS2 Sales....its like apples' vs oranges. No pun intended. But how many models of phones are out there made by Samsung sold in a week vs apples iPhone per week? That's part of what makes Android the number one OS out there...the ability to have your choice between more than ONE piece of hardware every time an update to the OS comes out

Haha very true! Recently one of my colleague bought TWO iPhone 4Ss (one for him and another for his wife!). He was boosting like he has got a gold mine before I told him about GS2. He started telling that some Chinese phones even have TV tuners
I couldn't stop laughing at his ignorance that he was comparing SGS phones to Chinese replicas! Realized that he is just a small kid who never BOTHERED exploring the market to understand what he is going for. Thats what I call true iPhonetic!
I used to be an Apple fan, then I took an arrow to the knee.
Seriously tho, it won't be long till alot of them realize Android is the real king.
Thinking on tbh I'm glad people are Apple fan boys who are blinded by the fruit because we as a community of Androidians would never be the same. Aka - We dont want dipshits on our hype.

Have you been around here lately? We already have dipshits all over the place. We need the dip**** terminator. Where is Arnold when you need him?
For all you Android fanboys - stop trying to prove a point. Android is good for people who want control over their device and aren't afraid to tinker with stuff. iOS is good for people who don't care, and just want their phone to work straight out of the box.
Android is getting more intuitive with ICS, but its still not as intuitive for new users as iOS. Deal with it. I absolutely love my SGS2 and Android, but I'm not about to fool myself (or anyone else) that Android is right for everyone.
What he said ^^^
I still have a 3gs which my sis gave me. I still play with games and use it as an ipod, also it can be used as an emergency fone ( you dont say!). Iphones are more fitted to people who just want a phone that works, games, entertainment. Android phones are for people who isn't afraid to muck around with their ****s. iOS and Android are both equally good and fitted for different purpose.

+1. Best comment on here. Stock galaxy s2 has nothing on a stock(not jail broken) ip4s. But im into tinkering thats why the iphone isnt for me.
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
Iphone is the best smartphone in the world. Even the first iphone is much faster and smoother than the cheap plasticky SGSII. Glass is much more stronger even than titanium, and much costlier, that's why other manufacturers don't afford to use it.
Previous iphone had the 4G's, the Wi-Fis and sh!t and was cool, any fool can realize that the new iphone has 4Ses and not just 2 as the Galaxy, hence is twice as faster!
Android not good, it's only for rocket scientists.
Just to call someone you need to read "Android for Dummies, 3rd Edition" - chapter 10 "How can I make a phone call" and then read FAQ section: "How do I end a phone call".
Installing an app is covered in Chapter 45, Section 18 - screen by screen instructions with drawings.
iPhones are more of a status symbol than anything else. Apple give you a phone with pretty basic features and you will love it because it has a little badge on it. Samsung give you a phone with the capabilities of a mid-range PC. I'm not for or against both, I own a PC and a Mac, an S2 and an iPad. It's personal preference at the end of the day.
If anyone knows of a Winterboard equivalent for Android please let me know!

It puzzles me why when ever somebody starts a discussion like this a bunch of apple fanboys show up? Are you patrolling the internet looking for somebody who might insult your beloved icon?
Besides, what are you doing at xda in the first place. This is a forum for modders apple does not want you to do such things...

We do have a superphone. You can customize it the way you want. You can make it faster the way you want..You can tweak it the way you want..What can you do with an iphone? Nothing really..Iphones are good and solid phones as i use to own one..But coming over to android i wished i made the move sooner.
Smartphone there is no such thing as a super phone until lots of people try to market it.

There won't be a superphone until Apple releases something that they call a superphone.
And quit comparing this phone to an iPhone trying to make it look superior. If you are truly superior, you don't try to kick others down beyond reason.

Superphone has different meanings..For me my phone is a superphone. It does so many things compare to what i use to do with my iphone and i can customize it more beyond i ever could with my iphone so for me my phone is a superphone. But to say kicking others down beyond reason because i think my phone is better there you are wrong.
Comparing phones is nothing. Everyone does that..Just look at all the fanboys. And all the arguments with which is better..Android is iOS. That is silly with the way some people act. But you can never stop that no matter how hard you try. Regarding the issue here if i think my Galaxy is better. Yes it is. Would i go as far as having a debate with someone who has an iphone. No i wont as i do not see the point. The phone is for me to enjoy and if someone else does not value my opinion regarding my phone i do not care as i think it is the one for me..All i can give is give a recommendation and opinion.
SUPERPHONE

I am not a fanboy so, it is a smartphone. I would term it super when I would not need a spare battery (upon heavy usage). BTW I am grateful that I can have one unlike some other phones where its inbuilt and nothing can be done about it.

Says it all doesn't it..
Randomly I was thinking about this issue today... And I decided (in my own head) that iOS and WP7 are not smartphones, just clever feature-phones. Their limitations and walled-garden (iOS and to an extent WP7) stop them being classed as mini-computers (again, in my head!).
My definition is matched by the S2, with the main requirements (hardware-wise) being HDMI-out and WiFi keyboard/mouse, to give me the desktop experience at home, and (software) rooted Android. I realised last week that I never expect to need to spend money with Microsoft again, as Android has almost matured into a fully-fledged mobile/PS Operating System (with some caveats).
But I definitely agree with Princeomi, the final super-phone requirement for me is battery life of at least 48 hours of moderate/decent usage.
When I had a Nokia5800 that was a smartphone. Nokia5800 vs SII, SII kicks its ass with God power!

A "superphone" is just another marketing term imo, and Techradar is generally full of BS.
Smartphone being a phone that runs a OS that is able to run 3rd party apps (distributed via package or via app store/market/w.e), will have a data modem, and lots of connectivity (wifi/bluetooth), normally means devices running android, WP7, IOS, BBOS, symbian (RIP) and even Winmob or bada.
Feature phone being a phone that has most of the features that one would consider a smartphone to have but without a real source of applications (eg phones running Qualcomm BREW) also doesn't normally cover phones that can only run java ME applets.
Feature phones are mostly dying, with android extending down into the space they normally filled between classic phones and smartphones.
Most of that was tl;dr but meh!
I think my phone is pretty Thuper.

Apple successfully tricked Samsung lawyers in to admitting that they, from their table, could not identify which tablet was which (iPad vs Galaxy Tab). Not only that but their tablet is far outselling ours.
Maybe Samsung needs to make a better product. Just saying.
I think if the iPad is outselling the Galaxy Tab 10.1, then all this is not even necessary. I just hope Samsung doesnt stop working on this tablet. The Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is out anyways.

If Apple wasn't afraid of Samsung, they wouldn't try to ban them from selling their products. And just because those lawyers work for Samsung, doesn't mean they use their tab, or any tab for that matter. So if they couldn't tell the difference, maybe they're just not tech savvy. To anyone who uses either tab, you can definitely tell the difference. Obviously they are going to look similar, they are both tablets. It's just like Samsung suing magnavox because their tv looks like a tv.. They all look the same. Can't do too much to make a tablet look different, other than change the color.

I agree, apple stinks. Competition is good for development. Aplle has this self righteous attitude that they created everything. Then the stuff they do produce is not enough to supply the original demand. They think that they are this really cool club and only the lucky selected people can come in.

I hate Android phones, not Android as a whole. I think Android belongs on tablets. My phone should be fast, powerful,and easy to use, with minimal crashing and issues. Hence the iPhone. But a tablet should be more like a PC, which is why I put up with a laggy tablet instead of an iPad.
Anyway, I'm not arguing about the OS itself. Just that the numbers are wrong. Only 1 person makes the iPhone and the iPhone 4S is outselling every other handheld out there. When you bring Android devices together they sell more, because there's like 1000 devices and a lot of them are cheap, low end ones that are appealing to people that want an iPhone, but can't afford one.

I sell Android devices at work all the time instead of iPhones. Because we have an extra incentive on the high end Android devices. Galaxy S 2, Galaxy S 2 HD, Galaxy Note, HTC Raider/Evo, the new LG Optimus. And all I can see is crashes, laggy UI (even in ICS) and fragmentation issues. I don't want to wait months for an official update like we are with our Galaxy Tabs. Sure I could and have put on a custom ROM, but things are missing, not working, etc. Point being I prefer the speed and power of an iPhone and it's reliable updates. Nothing against Android. I just don't see it as a good phone OS yet.

I don't want to wait months for an official update like we are with our Galaxy Tabs. Sure I could and have put on a custom ROM, but things are missing, not working, etc. Point being I prefer the speed and power of an iPhone and it's reliable updates. Nothing against Android. I just don't see it as a good phone OS yet.
Nope. My logic is spot on. No other handset can beat it's sales numbers 1 on 1. I could care less about OS share.

Well; of course it will. On one side you have the Iphone, by itself and singling out 1 Android device which competes against countless other Android devices & the iPhone. Not quite a fair comparison.

Why should we not compare them 1 on 1 for sales? iPhone 4S vs Galaxy S 2. iPhone sold more. iPhone 4S vs any other handset? iPhone hassold more. I don't get why everyone thinks it's such an accomplishment that Android has a bigger overall OS share. Low end devices that have bad life cycles and never get updated isn't my idea of how a phone or tablet should be. Hopefully we can get an Android developer who's on the ball with these things, making updates available quickly.

I nearly chuckled when I saw this one.
I guess that means it must run Android then, because if it runs iOS it doesnt stand a chance of doing so..
Lets be frank here, it will look much the same as the current iPhone (boring), it will feel much the same to use (boring), it will be locked down and restricted like the current iPhone (boring), and will have the same (boring) baristas, emos are douches queueing up for it on day one. Ill pass.
Is it a ploy from apple to stop people from buying s3??
Only the facts will tell the truth.. there is no point in giving statements without concrete facts. Bad move apple...

Galaxy s3 has already made iphone 5 to shiver...the big thing is...iphone 5 is yet a prototype and apple feared that Galaxy may put iphone 5 to shame so they pleadged to ban s3 sales in usa... now tel me whos afraid ??? and whos ashamed??..

At this point Apple buyers are like BMW buyers, they will buy any old ridiculous turd as long as it has the badge on, so really statements like this are just sermons for the iSheep, and pretty meaningless to the rest of us. As long as Apple makes it they will buy it, why? because Apples says its best and therefore it is. Its almost a religion now..
But dude, it has an apple logo.

Some rumors I've read claim that it will be equipped with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4.
I think that a good optimization can make the difference, placing Apple's smartphone between HTC One S and Android quad-core phones.
IMHO Apple will put a enormous capacity battery into the iPhone...
I guess since we're comparing a phone that will be out several months later that doesn't even exist yet; we'll compare it to another like phone... I'm sure the GSIV will put the iPhone 5 to shame then lol.

I cant see that, Apple will want their own CPU in there (and by that i mean a modified Samsung as the A4 and A5 were). It will probably have the A5x.
PErsonally I'm quite excited for the iPhone 5 and what it will bring.
Having had a look at the rubbish minor "new" features for iOS, I'm thinking Apple will have drastically improved the hardware of iPhone 5.
That is good for the whole industry
I'm sure the new iPhone will be excellent. Without new iPhones and new Galaxy's wouldn't it get boring. These companies need to push out great phones to keep giving us great products.

I apologize. Probably you're right. My "not very good" english fooled me... I've read on cnet an article about iphone and qualcomm production issues. Please check it on your own, I can't add link yet.

It wasn't Apple. It was FoxConn. They build devices for Apple AND other companie as well.

I don't think smarts has anything to do with it really. Rooting and installing ROM's is a whole lot easier than jailbreaking and using it's related tools, etc..
I just think the 'average' Android user and the 'average' iOS user could really care less..
every new device,if the job is done well, is goint to become leader at the time of its introduction it will be same with iphone 6 and then again with galaxy s4, etc.

You missed my ambiguous point:

I think it was a clever move by foxconn. The more people that get the s3 the less that will be available 2 sign up for a 2 year contract on the new iphone and the less orders foxconn will receive . And consequently the less money they make.
I personally think the iphone is easier for people to use who are novices. And it's more stable. However the s3 if you know how can do so much more.

Ok before I get started I would like to stress I am no fanboy of either apple or android... I simply like good products... So no flaming please.
Now down to business, the biggest problem with the S3 (yes I own one) is the fact that samsung (and all non GED devices to be fair) seem to forget the fundamental rule... Optimize the software to run effectively on the hardware. The galaxy nexus (Yes I own one) for me runs just as fast as the s3 in terms of web browsing and general use... Yes the animations are slightly smoother on the s3 but how is it possible for the browser to not have any significant speed improvement??
Fact of the matter is that apple will optimize the iPhone 5 to the extent that it doesn't need the hardware the s3 has to run as fast (rest assured as always it always does, will flatten the s3 in benchmarks and browser speeds).
Apple seem to understand that optimisation is the way forward and this is why the next Nexus is a no brainer... Touchwiz can do all it does but it will never run as smoothly nor work as well as AOSP.
