Hi all
Looking to buy a new android device.
Is the Galaxy S II the best device out there?
Does skype work with video?
Thanks

Of course it's the best out there, ATM.
Regards.
The LTE looks like it will be the best, revealed this week. 1.5Ghz and 4.5 inch screen.

and a 3 hour battery life, or maybe it will get a 3000mAh... not
and if you ask this question in the S2 forums, do you really expect other answers?

to the ops question i am loving the sgs2 and for me it was defo worth the money
SGSII is great and skype video works. Only thing is that we know that an improved version is around the corner with the specs mentioned above.
Im sure you wont regret buying this phone, blazing speed and display,and the boot time is amazing when comapred to all the 1ghz smartphones out there.
I personally think 4.2" or 4.3" should be the limit for smart phones. 4.5" ??? you can call it a mini tablet.

I totally agree with you here, already the size of the sgs2 can take some time to get used to, but 4.5... that has to be too much for a phone device
Anyway, if you're interested in buying this phone, do it right away, it will be your happiest day ever, just be careful to not overpay for it

Let's see if Dell will surprise us all with similar spec on the new streak .. LOL
Two words: Battery Life
The deal-maker for me will be battery life. Some guy on the ATT forums says he's getting about 5-6 hours of battery life from his Samsung Infuse and that's a deal-breaker for me. Hopefully the Pantech engineers will surprise us with something that can last the day w/o plugging it in....
Hopefully it'll be available outside of Korea, as well, otherwise a lot of us are gonna have to get down there somehow. And with unsubsidized pricing it'll probably cost a pretty little penny.
Yea man sweet looking phone be good to have that on the north american side of the pond, be better if dell beat those specs though a qhd screen quad core 1.2ghz 16g internal with 32g expansion betterusic player with a bloody good equalizer an 5.1 dolby etc, then again asus has a thing going on, no specs or good pics of it just snap shoots of ramdom parts of the device with a slogan breaking the rules pad or phone be anonnced at the end of the month if it beats the streak im moving on to the dark side

periods are for girls (pun!), any true man doesnt use them.
On Topic, I'm really hoping the asus thing is a 5" phone and not an atrix-like device like some are speculating. I really like asus' products and a 5" phone from them would be perfection.
will this have US compatible bands? or we will have to wait for US version.

WOW really a 5.3 inch screen with Super AMOLED resolution of 1280x800!!! Wonder if it will come to Sprint (hope so)

I liked the idea of the streak but my wife made fun of it saying it looked like you had a book on your ear.
I would still like a 5" phone...but with LTE and HSPA this is prolly a Verizon device, right guys?

Add a qwerty keyboard and I'm sold
Sent from my rooted, suited, & booted Epic 4G #knowdat!
Imagine though. You just use it with a bluetooth headset. Its big enough to really browse the web and do more data oriented things.
Pair it with a fold up keyboard and think of all you could do. It can be both the tablet and the phone. Get the best of everything to fit in your pocket.
I wouldn't want a 10" tablet anyway because its to big to really use with one hand.
Hope you carry around solar panels to power that thing..
Rumor says the Samsung note is not coming to the US
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, Galaxy Note Not Launching In The US? Ever?

Why would anyone prefer a 4" over 5" phone? That just views my mind... Think outside the box. A 5" phone wouldn't have to be any bigger than the epic. There a ton of wasted space on the epic fire the screen size.

The new Samsung Galaxy S II will have the 4.52 so we are getting closer to the 5" mark. Just hate that we don't get updates really Samsung where is Gingerbread??

This photo was leaked online earlier today......
Not sure if it's real obviously.....
I believe that there were complaints about pocketability of the v2 but after seeing this photo I can't say I agree with their concern.
wow... is that the new Super AMOLED HD+++ ?
Looks like they they made the Note a bit smaller. Cost saving measures, no doubt.
pre-order right away!
That's actually a prototype of the "bloatware" model coming to AT&T...

Is the new Super Ultra Amoled 4K HD Plus. A friend of friend that has a friends who's friends with another friend who's cousin has a friend that is friends with someone which his friends father works at Samsung by taking out the trash.
You won't believe what you can find these days in Samsung's trash.
Also it has an octo-core SOC clocked at 4Ghz with the graphics performance of 3 580s in SLI and a new advance unannounced nuclear based battery that never runs out. Well that's what came to my end from all the above.
Is it confirmed to get ICS?

Typical.. As soon as I buy one a better one comes out, though I think Nokia may sue based on the radical new design...

Damn... 4Ghz? That's a deal killer for me... I won't settle for less than 4.5129Ghz....
Oh and I hear its camera is only 20MP.... :sigh:
When will Samsung learn??!!
That looks exactly like the i*hone 5, Apple released a statement that they're gonna sue.

Tbh, that's not bad! It's just a shame there's no mention of other details, like how much storage there is and if it does support SDHC-cards. One can also see what looks like S-Pen, but I do not know if it's just for the looks or if it is actually functional.
I know several people who could actually use this phone just fine.
I can't even imagine how much of a headache it would be going phone shopping in China. We should all have that problem.
the samesung fauxlaxy clnotned?
Samesung, Nukia, and Motorolo.
Salute China.

Edit: Upon closer inspection, the first picture in the link does NOT have an S-Pen. The third seems to show one. Either way... no thanks.
Also, the flash is different between the first picture and the third... If it's more like the third then I want that back-piece!
yes, but there are two different versions, one is 5.3 the other is 5.0

I love my Galaxy Mega but would love more horsepower spec wise. Do you think there is any chance Samsung will release a larger Note 4?
Once you go up in screen size you can't come back down, that is my dilemma.
Thanks

No .. it will not happen for the simple reason samsung will loose allot of customers when going bigger on the note line.
While 5.7"is huge, at the same time its bearable for most ppl that want a big screen with kick ass hardware specs. 6 inch will be to big for most ppl.

Hmm... have you seen the nexus 6? I would pick one up in a heart beat if it had:
1. IR Blaster
2. Micro SD slot
3. Removable Battery
I think there is a market for a high end 6" device.
And Samsung is known to make variants of popular phones, Note Neo, Note Edge. etc., Why not add another variant of a 6" Note 4?
No chance at all for current version!
Yes Mega series is there ...if 6 screen is main ...but s pen and other premium things?????

Just watch the upcoming sales on nexus 6.. Trust me it will be disappointing compared to the nexus 5.
Yes.. there will be a market but it will be much smaller.

probably Note 5 will have 5.9..but we will have to wait for a year for that
meanwhile check out Galaxy Mega2 ..but it lacks the features that make the Note stand out
