New Russian 2011 Model with 1.4ghz cpu

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/31/samsung-galaxy-s-rumored-to-be-getting-a-1-4ghz-2011-edition-n/
You didn't think Samsung was going to leave the classic Galaxy S handset in the past, did you? Dmitriy Ryabinin of hi-tech.mail.ru has tracked down the above comparison sheet showing off a new variant of the 4-inch Android phone, this time packing a 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8255T chip and a 14.4Mbps HSPA+ radio. Other than those upgrades and a 1650mAh battery, it's a faithful reproduction of last year's original and should be arriving in Russia around the end of April for a price of just under 24,000 rubles ($846). What gives us faith in this apparent leak is our earlier sighting of a 3.7-inch Galaxy S2 "Mini" device from Samsung, which also clocks in at a mighty 1.4GHz. Coincidence? We doubt it.
[Thanks, Andy]
Update: That was quick. Samsung's Russian mouthpiece has confirmed all of the above, adding note of a metal back cover and a Galaxy S Plus name for markets outside of Russia. Sadly, there's no word as to where else it might be showing up.

How about a "new russian 2011 model" with 90-60-90

So is the reason the chip is rated at 1.4 GHz because it is using a Qualcomm and they are slower than other brands (like original Hummingbird)?

I think the difference in cpu performance will not be noticeable. However, I have heard of how well the Qualcomm cpu's overclock (1ghz -> 1.8ghz).
The biggest disappoint will come from the gpu. The qualcomm 205 gpu is NOT an upgrade.

who wants to buy this phone, galaxy s2 coming few months

Yeah, but who want's to buy a S2?

who will buy a galaxy s when galaxy s 2 is available ?

We already have a thread about this.

playing 1080p (Youtube) SAMSUNG GALAXY S II vs. Optimus 2X

GALAXY S II is the best phone

F*** me, this thing is an absolute beast. Do want

It's like playing slides on 2X。。。

wow was this a fair test???
Flipping heck...Tegra 2 is shi**

someone just got owned..
Is this even a contest? Tegra 2? They better get that tegra Kal-el fast.
I have a feeling that Samsung should use this in the tab 8.9/10.1. Tegra 2 does not sound very good now.

I heard the Mali GPU is more optimised for HD video rather than 3D gaming.
Even then, I wouldn't trade my S2 for anything.
whip that 1080p Macross.

Bad news, the new series of the galaxy tab line have tegra 2 not Exynos chip. It was rumored that Samsung couldn't make them in time so had to use nvidia's. We should be grateful that europe got it for our SGSII's.
P.s because of this I'm not buying a galaxy tab, and getting the ipad instead.

That's what I am hearing too. Not too happy about it. I will wait till they ramp up the production and use it in the Tab. 8.9 sounds just about perfect for me. Or maybe I will wait till Sammy comes out with their next gen Mail-604 which should be around the corner. It's said Sammy was the first to get the license and started working on it in 2010 itself. By that time I am sure honeycomb/ice cream would have been optimized and a good collection of apps to play with.

Android OS versions are different ?

Think the sgs2 1gb ram plays a factor in 1080 playback over the optimus 512mb
I can't wait to get this phone

The Tegra Chip and Mali have about the same performance.
We just have hardware acceleration enabled in the galaxy S 2 browser rendering and in the touchwizz 4.0 home.
Can somebody try launcherpro with animated wallpaper and touchwizz with animated wallpaper, and see if there is jerkyness with the touchwizz home ?

if you read up on a phone's specs before you buy it then this should be no suprise to you
The chipset is far superior to that of tegra specifically at video decoding / playback etc, you only need to view the complaints and grumblings on the tablet forums to know tegra is feeling to meet expectations. This is why I plumped for the S2 over the 2x.

They forgot to mention that the 2x has a special Comic mode for youtube vids, and that it was activated.

S2 LTE model to be launched..

"Samsung has made the Galaxy S II LTE smartphone that we learned about late last week official, ahead of its unveiling at the IFA technology trade show in Berlin, Germany later this week. The Galaxy S II LTE features a number of upgrades over its non-4G brother, aside from just the faster data connection.
The LTE-equipped edition of the Galaxy S II sports a larger, 4.5-inch, Super AMOLED Plus display, though no mention if whether or not it has the same WVGA (480 x 800 pixel) resolution as its predecessor (for the record, we're guessing it does). The dual-core processor has seen a bump in speed to 1.5GHz, while the battery has been increased in capacity to 1,850mAh. The rear of the Galaxy S II LTE now has a brushed-metal look, different from the textured back of the original. Samsung claims that the Galaxy S II LTE is the world's first LTE/WCDMA/GSM multi-mode smartphone.
Samsung has yet to reveal exact pricing and availability of the new Galaxy S II LTE, but we should know more later on this week."

Drool on what? The glass display and $900 price tag? Pass.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

Lol ill go only if @jkay and @leomar go as well and Samsung promises same number of updates as sgs2, otherwise I'm staying right here.

What's the word on atnt's gs2 version? Is it tegra or Mali? I wish nvidia had incorporated neon into tegra2
It would've been even more of a beast. And any word if the bootloader on any of the carrier versions going to be unlocked?

I'm guessing this is a Qualcomm model.

Quite possibly a qualcomm if its 1.5. The exynos can go that high but the heat is gratuitous. I don't think its going to ti's omap 4460.
And if it is qualcomm and the 1.5 isn't overclocked already, it could possibly go 2.0. Qualcomm chips are usually good for overclocking and undervolting. And I would have to venture the gpu is going to be adreno220. Does that have neon built in and how does it compare to tegra2?

Holy Crap - The AT&T LTE 8.9 is Snapdragon

It was announced today for sale starting November 20th. You also get a free Skyrocket LTE phone with it. It's only 16GB but it's great that it's got a different processor than the Teg 2. It actually has the same chip as the HTC Jetstream which is also LTE.
Here's the details...

Neither Tegra 2 or OMAP processors can support LTE (Non verizon for the OMAP) so it makes sense they are using a snapdragon but i read it and was like "Whaaa =/"

I had a Jetstream for a short time and the UI and transitions were fast and smooth - even with Sense. However, as is typical, HTC hosed the video and audio codecs and implementation. It should be really quick with Samsung's better tuned s/w.

anyone know if it's possible to make phone calls with this tablet ?
i read in gsm arena that the LTE model has support for GSM voice and SMS.
does it really works ? is there a dialer ?

I would highly doubt that the AT&T branded Galaxy Tab would support regular GSM phone calls. I have explained this before in different threads, but long story short, allowing a device that "does it all" on their network would be bad for business, and as such, they would never support that. They would rather you buy a tablet -AND- a smartphone, and pay data for both. Two devices, two line subscriptions, and the evil corporation laughing maniacally as they run to the bank with the extra money they gouged from you.
That's why the GSM calling abilities of the original Tab were locked down and disabled.

Just picked one up... this snapdragon @ 1.5 feels much faster than my 10 @ 1.4... now to figure out root...

^^^ tks! keep us posted re: root

Crapdragon is a disappointment compared to Exynos, but it might be an improvement from the Tegra 2. I didn't realize how crappy the T2 was until I used an Exynos device.

My feelings exactly. The snapdragon feels faster day to day than my tegra10 does. The lack of root is a bummer however.

New Note??

This is an update I just got on the Galaxy Note Facebook page. Looks pretty frikin awesome.
https://www.facebook.com/SamsungGalaxyS3OfficalFanPage

picture is not an actual phone just something made up off this rumor:
Samsung may have only recently launched its latest Android flagship collaboration with Google, the Galaxy Nexus, but the push is reportedly on for the next big thing for the Galaxy line-up. According to a report straight out of Korea, the Samsung Galaxy S3 could be on its way to Mobile World Congress 2012 — and launch a few months later.
We had already heard that the Galaxy S3 would pack Samsung’s own Exynos 4412 processor, a 32nm quad-core chip based on the ARM Cortex A9 architecture. That’s a terrific boost in hardware over the Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Nexus, at least on paper — the jury’s still out on whether or not a quad-core chip is really worth putting in a phone or tablet when most apps aren’t designed with multithreading in mind.
It’s a necessary progression, however, when competitors like HTC are known to be working on similar devices. HTC’s Zeta is expected to arrive during the same time frame, and with Qualcomm promising that its Snapdragon S4 would be ready to power retail devices early in 2012 there will no doubt be other models on the way.
As for what else Samsung is going to cram into the Galaxy S3, the list of rumored specs certainly looks drool-worthy. In addition to the Exynos 4412, there could be a 12MP camera, 720×1280 Super AMOLED Plus display, LTE support, twice as much RAM as any current superphone at 2GB, and Android 4.0. Of course, until Samsung shows us something (or someone else gets their hands on one) we won’t know how closely that hardware lines up with reality.
Keep your eyes peeled for news out of MWC when its kicks off in Barcelona on February 27.
