Now this one is pretty interesting. People have been asking if the Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 is worth the upgrade if they currently own the old Galaxy S i9000. Here’s a closer look and comparison between the two.
The official specs sheet would look like this:
| Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 | Samsung Galaxy S i9000 |
|---|---|
| Dual-core 1GHz Samsung Exynos 4210 | 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 |
| ARM Mali-400 MP | PowerVR SGX540 |
| 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus (480×800) | 4.0-inch Super AMOLED (480×800) |
| 16GB/32GB storage, 1GB RAM | 8GB/16GB storage, 512 RAM |
| microSD up to 32GB | microSD up to 32GB |
| 8 MP autofocus camera with LED flash | 5 MP autofocus camera |
| 1080p @ 30fps video recording | 720p @ 30fps video recording |
| 2 MP front camera for video calls | VGA front camera for video calls |
| Android OS 2.3.3 Gingerbread | Android OS 2.2 Froyo |
| WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, DLNA, WiFi Direct | WiFi 802.11 b/g/n; DLNA |
| 125.3mm x 66.1mm x 8.48mm | 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm |
| 116 grams | 119 grams |
| TouchWiz 4.0 UI | TouchWiz 3.0 UI |
However, a closer inspection with the devices at hand gives us a much more detailed information {all the apps I used could not point-point the specific CPU used on the SGS2 and it’s still showing ARMv7 Processot rev1 (v7l) }:
| Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 | Samsung Galaxy S i9000 |
|---|---|
| 200MHz (min) to 1,000MHz (max) | 100MHz (min) to 1,000MHz (max) |
| 833MB System Memory | 304MB System Memory |
| 98MB System Cache | 30MB System Cache |
| 504MB System Storage | 295MB System Storage |
| 1.97GB Internal Storage | 1.87GB Internal Storage |
| 11.5GB Internal SD Card | 13.43GB Internal SD Card |
| Refresh Rate: 60Hz | Refresh Rate: 68Hz |

Also did a number of benchmarks using Quadrant and Antutu System Benchmark.
| Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 | Samsung Galaxy S i9000 |
|---|---|
| Memory Score: 752 | Memory Score: 341 |
| CPU Integer: 1157 | CPU Integer: 606 |
| CPU Float: 1024 | CPU Float: 145 |
| 2D Graphics: 149 | 2D Graphics: 148 |
| 3D Graphics: 209 | 3D Graphics: 305 |
| Database IO: 165 | Database IO: 50 |
| SD Card Write: 13.1MB/s | SD Card Write: 5.7MB/s |
| SD Card Read: 48.2MB/s | SD Card Read: 9.3MB/s |
| Antutu Score: 3784 | Antutu Score: 1745 |
| Quadrant Score : 2622 | Quadrant Score: 952 |
What’s a bit interesting is that the results from the Antutu System Benchmarks showed the PowerVR SGX540 having a higher score than the Mali-400 MP while the SGS2 beat the old SGS on all other aspects in the benchmark. Still looking for a more GPU-specific benchmark tool to test both of them (will post update when that’s done).
The SGS2 also comes with 9 sensors, compared to the 5 from the old SGS:
K3DH Acceleration Sensor
AK8975 Magnetic field Sensor
AK8975 Orientation Sensor
CM3663 Light Sensor
CM 3663 Proximity Sensor
K3G Gyroscope Sensor
Gravity Sensor
Linear Acceleration Sensor
Rotation Vector Sensor
One can only imagine how applications and games can use these sensors to give a better user experience.
