Samsung Galaxy S2 Specs (2GHz, 1GB RAM, etc.)

Source: http://www.redmondpie.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-specs-will-blow-your-brains-out/
The current generation of smartphones – with their 1GHz processors and 512MB of RAM – are already very impressive at what they can do. But rumored specifications (along with a photo) are spreading of the next generation of Samsung’s Galaxy S smartphone – the Galaxy S2 – and its specs will. freaking. blow. your. head. off.

It is supposedly scheduled for release sometime in early 2011 and will supposedly have the following specifications:
-A 2GHz Processor. Possibly the next-generation version of Samsung’s Hummingbird CPU.
-1GB RAM along with 4GB of ROM. This is, as with the CPU, twice the magnitude of current-gen hardware.
-32GB built-in flash memory. MicroSD card slot expandable to 32GB making the Galaxy S2 able to hold 64GB of data.
-8 megapixel camera with full HD (1920×1080) video recording. Current-gen smartphones record video at 720p (1280×720).
-A 4.3” 1280×720 Super AMOLED display
-GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, b/g/n Wi-Fi, accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity / ambient light sensors.
-Run on Android 3.0 “Gingerbread”
While all these specifications are well and sweet, I really, honestly believe smartphone manufacturers, especially of the Android variety, should focus on increasing battery life by optimizing hardware + software instead of just blindly increasing clock speeds and doubling RAM. My HTC Desire still doesn’t last more than 15-16 hours whereas Taimur’s iPhone 4 blows past the 24 hour category without even going below 50%.
And yes, these specs are rumored. But if HTC and Motorola’s intentions of releasing 2GHz smartphones are anything to go by, they aren’t unbelievable.

What do you guys think the battery quality will be?

Jesus, its only 8 threads under this
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817358

Doubting this, especially if scheduled for early 2011.
Specs looks two gen ahead of current, but if for real, I like it...well, except for the 4.3in screen.

I fail. Delete thread please.

I don't care until they actually give me froyo.

I don't know it sounds more like someones dreams/wish someone had more then a matter of fact...can anyone confirm that Samsung will be releasing Galaxy S2 at all?

they do love dangling the proverbial carrot in front of us don't they?
seriously though, why would you ever need dual core phones? I understand it's the next logical step, but I don't plan on bit torrenting HD porn from my phone. The original Galaxy still seems plenty new and amazing enough for me to not care about another phone for at least a year.

Someone posted this elsewhere yesterday and those were my exact thoughts on it. I mean I get it but is that something necessary (if it were actually true) for the near future? We haven't even hit 6 months with this beast yet.

You can't never have too much speed on a phone. Flash contents need quite a bit of CPU and GPU power, emulators will benefit from this, Browsing Speed, Multitasking, etc.
It can't hurt to have the phone boot up faster either.

OMG this again....dud research its beeen posted few down from you......
its fake this rumor started July 5 and people are just blogging...ect of late for attention or they have been living under a rock last few months
Also you would think with these guys bringing up such an old rumor/news they would have something else to go on other than repeating what already been said almost 4 months prior.
You guys really think specs for a new galaxy S would "leak" just few weeks after its predecessor's release...just my opinion

I'd have to agree with the quote in the op though. Instead of doubling the specs, phone manufacturers should work on increasing battery life. The iphone doesn't have ridiculous specs but still manages to do nearly everything android phones do and do it smoother while still lasting a full day.
I don't really need my phone to do much more than it currently does. It matches the iphone in 3d smoothness which is great.. Now I just need it to open and close apps smoother and last a full day. The g2 does it with less ghz, so it should be possible with the vibrants current 1ghz processor.

G2 does it with less mhz/ghz is because it is on a 45 nm fabrication vs. vibrant's 65 nm fabrication. The smaller the more efficient.

The Hummingbird is 45nm also
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a10010&c=samsung_s5pc110
CPU probably handles 800mhz at a really low voltages and found it to be the sweet spot that also conserves battery life
And to answer why its faster well maybe its designed better, such as better cache and maybe some type of "hyper threading" technique....that would explain the extra pipelines on the scorpion ...raw speed isn't always everything
BTW this is all just a guess so dont hold me to this..i know PC's not so much this

HUGE doubt between i9000, T989 & i727

Hello people, I'm having a little confusion here. I beg you pardon if this thread looks similar to others, but indeed it doesn't.
I'm planning to buy a Samsung Galaxy S II, I've readed a lot in forums as well as in other sites. Right now I'm stuck between i9100, i989 (T-Mobile) and i727 Skyrocket (AT&T). I'm looking for the best hardware option, I don't care about carrier locked or anything because I'll simunlock it, root it, etc... so basically I just need the best hardware.
In this comparative i727 Skyrocket looks much better than i9000. It have 1.5Ghz dual core micro, the screen is a little bit bigger, better battery, etc. However in this comparative from GSMarena, I found that the i727 Skyrocket have 1.2Ghz dual core micro... just like i9100, then I'm confused in the middle of all this.
HOWEVER in the other hand, in eBay the most expensive is the i9100 and I hope that's not only for being unlocked.
I have doubts, confusions and a hell on my head.
Could you help me to decide the best hardware, the best one for you, and why?
Thank you so much.
Regards.

Galaxy S2 is i9100 series not i9000 series.

i9100 is the best. Although the other two have 1.5ghz processors, its using the Snapdragon cpu instead of Exynos which has been known to be a much better performer than the So3. Bigger screen is good but there have been reports of vertical lines on the 4.5 models, and finally we have developer support and updates which shall be no contest compared to the i9100
Not trying to discourage you from the SR or TMO models, but if u want the overall best, the i9100 is better in most aspects. Now if you can sacrifice some performance for LTE (if u live in a LTE area of course) or more real estate, then the SR is for you
sEnT fRoM mY ExYnOs PoWeReD MoNsTeR

IMHO I would have to say go with the 9100 International, so many better choices as far as ROMS.
I had a Samsung Captivate and always had to wait for a different type of kernel to be made to work with the Cappy where as the developers were always snapping out the updates for the 9000. Swore I would never go with anything besides the original international version of any Sammy. I will be getting the Samsung Galaxy Nexus as soon as I can get one that is not locked or bound to ANY carrier ie. UNLOCKED.

You're right, sorry the typo.

The at&t and tmobile has slightly bigger screen 4"5 inches with 1.5 ghz Qualcomm cpu and adreno 220 gpu.
I9100 has samsung's own 1.2 ghz exynos cpu and mali 400 gpu. The cpu on i9100 performs better.

Thank you so much guys.
I will go with i9100 version, definitely you made a point with the support subject as well as the micro performance.
eBay here I go.

The international version has the best soc. But if you live in the united states it will not work on att's Lte network or tmobios 42mbps hspa+ network... So your speeds will be much slower than the t989 or Sr versions.

Other thing to consider is that T989 has NFC while i9100 does not (at least from what I've read). Might be useful if you are itching to try Google Wallet.

Why not consider the I777? (AT&T GS2) - It has NFC.
The T989 and ****rocket are NOT Galaxy S II phones. They have NO business having the Galaxy S II name applied to them - they are oddball one-off phones cobbled together from Samsung's parts bin, and do NOT represent the refinement that Samsung's flagship I9100 and close relatives (I777 and Sprint SPH-D710) have.
You looked only at clock frequency, but missed that the T989 and ****rocket do not have Samsung's own Exynos chipset, but a Qualcomm chip instead. The Snapdragon is notorious for poor performance for a given clock rate - at 1.5 GHz, they deliver worse performance than the Exynos at 1.2.
In addition, they have NOTHING else in common with the I9100 hardware-wise, so unlike the I777, they can't leverage all of the I9100's development.
The larger battery in the ****rocket is offset by the fact that it's got LTE (battery-hogging fatty - LTE will not be mature for at least another year) and the fact that the Snapdragon is a battery hog due to having to ramp to higher clock rates to achieve the same performance. In reality, the ****rocket gets very poor battery life. I've seen people that considered 17 hours "good" even though a GS2 that has a permanent wakelock held (no deep sleep) will last longer than that!

A lot of interesting things here. Here's a more technical post on the key differences. Samsung is currently using three chipsets in various Galaxy S2 phones; Exynos 4210, Tegra 2, and Snapdragon S3. The phones you're looking at have all but the Tegra.
Exynos 4210
CPU - Dual-Core ARM Cortex A9 @ 1.2ghz (SMP)
GPU - ARM Mali 400MP4
Snapdragon S3
CPU - Dual-Core Scorpion @ 1.5ghz (aSMP)
GPU - Qualcomm Adreno 220
Which is better? In terms of real performance, A9 puts out 2.5 DMIPS per clock cycle, giving the Exynos a rating of 3,000 per core or 6,000 total. The Snapdragon puts out 3,125 per core, or 6,300 total, as Scorpion does 2.1 DMIPS per clock cycle. That's a difference of 5%. So yes, in theory, the Snapdragon is a hair faster due to the much higher clock rate.
In terms of the GPU, the Mali 400MP4 has a sterling reputation due to benchmark results. However, SGS2 fanboys (of which I am one, own a GT-i9100 myself) have been quick to jump on the favorable benchmarks but ignore the bad ones. Let me explain;
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/17
This review is one that is often touted, so I'll use two key examples. in the top image you'll see the fill-rate advantage of the Mali, beating out the Adreno 220 by a factor of nearly 5 to 1. That's huge! Here's the problem with this; The Adreno in a benchmark displays MORE than enough fill-rate to accelerate a game at 800x480 resolution, 32-bit color, at 60 frames per second. Of course, there are other fill-rate intensive things that will tax this aspect of the GPU, and the Mali is equipped to handle this (as is the sGX540) while the Adreno is not. The Adreno is essentially a basic GPU at that resolution (and a horrible one for 720p, I'm looking at you HTC Rezound!). in the second link, we see a near 40$ boost in geometric performance for the Adreno over the Mali. As games become more detailed, this will be an issue (this is why I favor PowerVR over Mali, personal preference). However, Adreno is so limited that the Mali is far superior overall, IMO.
In conclusion, if you don't game, either phone is fine (and the Skyrocket has LTE support). But, if you want to play 3D games, the GT-i9100 or the SGH-i777 (AT&T version with NFC) are your best choices. Go with the i9100 if you want a truly unlocked phone, and only pay $10/mo for unlimited data. Go with the i777 if you want a cheaper upfront cost and NFC.

HTC did it again?

I think HTC messed up the fans again.
I hope these are only rumors and this phone will be a mid range phone...

This is either obviously fake or a mid-range device... it dosent even have the dual speakers (boom sound) and it has the older 3 buttons like the OneX.

Why should you be angry.. If they release another flagship in 6 months, good for us. Sell the current one and buy new one. Simple

Actually, that looks like a low-end phone for the MVNO's or emerging markets.
This looks like a mid-range phone.
HTC had three devices released at the same time last year (One X, One S, One V) so to make their 2013 numbers it only makes sense for them to continue adding new phones to their range.

Well they already said that we gonna get only 1 high range. And it is fiiine.

That M4 render majors it look cheaper than any of the competition. I wouldn't buy it.

Definitely a low end phone, they shouldn't be worrying about another flagship phone when I am still waiting for my developer version.

Doesn't that look like the HTC First?

I really hope they don't mess it up by launching a One+ in 6 months.
This is their main problem (ok maybe 2nd after marketing), if you buy an HTC flagship phone you know that after half a year you no longer have the best of HTC (sensation XE, XL, Onex+, Onexl...)
Samsung & Apple don't have this problem.

The phone in the pictures is the HTC E1 (603e) which is a lower mid-range Chinese market phone:

You want HTC to stop innovating or stop producing faster phones even when they can, due to improved binning, just so that you can always have the latest phone?
That sir, is ridiculous.
Perhaps they should make it two years before releasing new models as that is now a typical contract length and European warranty length?
Or three years, because let's face it, who likes spending money?

Exactly all these people complaining about companies releasing new phones. If you can't afford don't buy, it's not that companies have to release phones according to some ones buying habits. There are always people shopping for new phones in different seasons, so companies have to release new phones to be relevant. The htc one 6 months down the line will be an outdated phone. I can easily see an updated version of One with Snapdragon 800 may be.

I don't think we can call the Sensation XE and One XL innovative phones and it's not only a matter of personal preference, I don't think I am the only one in this case.
Last year HTC admitted they launched too many phones and people got lost in all the different versions.
In the end it's a problem of strategy; Apple and Samsung have a simple offer (at least with the flagship devices), which is easier to advertise and apparently easier to sell.

Mystery solved.

Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC will begin promoting its new customizable E1 phone in China, our sister newspaper Commercial Times reports.
Chinese customers will have the option to customize their phone through HTC's website with a variety of accessories including its case and the color of its phone charger, and also amend its features such as the phone's RAM and camera resolution.
HTC China estimates that the E1 will have the highest performance value among the company's smartphone range, with its price ranging from 1,700 to 1,899 yuan (US$275-$310).
The Taoyuan-based company has boosted its market share in mainland China over the past year, but its higher range models still lag behind rivals Apple and Samsung.
The E1 will reportedly sport a 1.15 GHz dual-core processor, 4.3-inch WVGA screen, dual SIM cards and 2100mAh battery. Custom options will include the phones built-in storage (8GB or 16GB), main camera (five or eight megapixels) and one of the six body colors plus patterns.

Sony Xperia Z2 pips HTC One (M8) for benchmark crown

Sony Xperia Z2 displaced the One (M8) at the Basemark OS II bench.
The two scored identical in the CPU and GPU test, but faster memory performance helped the Sony smartphone reach the top spot.
The Xperia Z2 is currently third in the gaming benchmark, but an update could push it forward – after all the M8 and Z2 use the same chipset and display resolution.

I love the look of the back of the htc one (and m8) but its that bloody huge bottom bezel/htc logo area that for me is an eye-sore. It almost looks like it's got three bezels! I want a nice symmetrical front face to my phones, with thin side bezels. Hence my excitement at the z2, now that it's fixed the flaws of the z1. Barring any disasters rearing their heads when it gets reviewed, Sony is onto a winner here.

Well as far as benchmarks are concerned, I think the S5 might overtake them all as it's running at a slightly higher clockspeed of 2.5Ghz. Even the M8 Asian version is running at 2.5Ghz.
Having a higher battery.. it makes me wonder why Sony decided to go for 2.3Ghz instead. I feel it could be the cheaper batch of CPUs with low speed yields..

Cheaper batch of CPUs? No, the processor in all the 3 phones is the same. (Snapdragon 801)
Being a computer engineer it is my opinion that the practical differences between the same processor clocked at 2.3 GHz and 2.5 GHz will be little to none. Sure, the benchmarks would show a slight difference but during actual use? Nopes. However, the extra 1 GB of RAM can make a fair amount of difference in practical usage especially if you run memory intensive apps and games.

Well, the chip binning is different, and that will constitute to different prices.
8974-AB vs 8974-AC. It's physically sold as a different part number.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)
But sure.. in real life, the differences will be close to none. I'm thinking Sony added the extra 1GB RAM for 4K video and timeShift video.

IMO the hardware wars are coming to an end soon with cell phones and they will become appliances. This is generally considered to be the point where performance capabilities are no longer an issue and design, styling, and features become the selling points. The OEMs know it and outside of the ability to monetize proprietary software they are trying to capture buyers with it because the hardware itself wont be the thing they are selling in the not too distant future.
I have an N5, it has no lag and is completely fluid everywhere. Everything opens instantaneously unless it involves network connection speed. I do recognize there are people who game that will leverage further hardware advances but for me the future is already here, I don't care which processor the Z2 has because phones are flat getting kick ass on the upper end and I know it will make no difference as I click about the GUI.

Not sure what to think? I want most of the specs from the 6P to be in the 5X, 5.7 screen is just to big

that's too bad, even the 32GB version only has 2GB of RAM. they're going to miss a ton of sales due to this alone.
no SD card was expected, but people who are new to Nexus devices won't like that either.
sales will be even softer due to no carriers or brick & mortar retailers selling it.
for those wanting a ~5" device, next one to look fwd to will be the OnePlus Mini which should be out by Christmas.

I thought other leaked info indicated camera sensor is RGBW?

Well now we know that the price for 16GB is $379 (probably will be well over £300 I reckon) we can safely say this thing is not that competitive really, on specs or on price. Makes it an easy decision for me.

4K, 340fps?? really?

I skipped the nexus 6 last year, now again I'm disappointed. Not buying this.

Wow really this is it! Was deciding the sell my oneplus two but now after this I'm keeping it!

HTC is announcing new phones tomorrow as well, including a 5" phone with mid-range specs (SD 617 chip) that looks just like an iPhone on the back. pretty sure that phone only has 2GB RAM as well.

no, but just figured i'd mention what else is coming available in the 5" size. of course, you could just unlock, root, and install a custom AOSP rom with HTC.

Hmm...so no snapdragon 820 and QHD display that were rumored.

hexacore. rrriiiight. I think I'll just get this for $140 and call it a day.

That's what i thought when i bought the lg g2, but since lg never released lollipop in my country every lollipop aosp rom had issues. Look at the galaxy s6 forums, no aosp in sight.

That wasn't a rumor, it was a pipe dream. SD820 isn't coming out till next year.

there's no AOSP for S6 due to the proprietary processor Samsung uses, it's essentially closed source so developers don't have access and thus really can't bother.

My eyes popped out looking at that too. Has to be a typo, unfortunately.

2GB ram is kinda retarded... I just cannot undestand why they did this....

I don't understand why the hell everyone wants more than 2 GBs of ram. It's a bloody phone...
I am happy with it. Just miss a 64GB option. And maybe G4's 3000mAh Battery.
Am am sure this will be again a hot seller...

For me, all they needed to do was pretty much an updated version of the original, but this time sort out the camera and battery.
I know many find the specs to be under what's expected. But in a few months time when the 5X is still smooth running the latest M and the S6 owners are still waiting, the 5X may be the smart choice.
Lets see what the reviews say about the Camera & Battery.
