"also current S2 uses a different processor with a lot slower graphics processor"
Is it changed? or ur referring to Exynos and Mali 400 as slow?
Everyone has their choice, people are advising others to buy HTC One X, or even wait for S3(which is a halo product atm), I will keep advising Xperia S. If people can wait they should get Xperia S, if they can't, then S2 or Note, or motorazr(maxx if launched).check the reply below
Samsung I9100G Galaxy S II. acc to some forum members here, this is what you'll find here. Looks everything same except that it has a really old and slow GPU (practically fast but generation old). No Exynos. 4S GPU is lot faster with 543MP2.
PS: processor too should be slower than Exynos as shown by Anandtech result.
if rumors are to be believed, 40k looks more likely. even if we dismiss Full HD (lol Full HD 4.7"), the specs are far better than anything launched/announced yet. its more like Galaxy S 3.5
how many times will you say the same? almost every post of yours in mobile section have just 1 thing. Xperia S. We know Xperia S is an impressive piece of tech but that also means waiting which you can see have been told many times.
I donno that, i have a galaxy s2 .I play 3d games which render pretty good.Its the only phone in this price range that can play videos of all formats including mkv(x264-720p),mp4,avi,3gp,flv -whatever.So its baseless saying it has GPU is slow.
it seems i'm asking every thing in a mobile...
Reduce screen brightness..Note's screen produces very good picture even in low brightness and switch on power saving..my Note gives me one day(read 20+ hrs) in heavy usage..normal usage keeps it on for almost 1.5-2 days!!
