Samsung의 갤럭시 S의 큰 형제인 갤럭시 S2(i9100)가 훨씬 더 나은 디스플레이와 하드웨어 사양으로 공개되었습니다. 업데이트: Samsung 갤럭시 S2에 대한 전체 리뷰는 여기에서 확인하세요.

듀얼 코어 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 프로세서
4.3 인치 Super AMOLED Plus 디스플레이 @ 480x800 픽셀
고릴라 글라스 디스플레이
1GB RAM
16GB/32GB 내부 저장 공간
HSDPA 21Mbps, HSUPA 5.76Mbps
WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, DLNA 지원
Bluetooth 3.0 + HS
aGPS 지원 GPS
8MP 자동 초점 카메라 및 LED 플래시
1080p 비디오 녹화
비디오 통화를 위한 2MP 전면 카메라
FM 라디오 튜너
Li-Ion 1650mAh 배터리
Android 2.3 진저브레드

갤럭시 S2는 선택적으로 NFC(근거리 무선 통신)를 지원하지만, 현재로서는 실제적인 이점을 찾기 어렵습니다. HTC 디자이어 HD와 같은 다른 대부분의 거대 Android 스마트폰과 마찬가지로 4.3 인치 디스플레이에 적용된 480x800 픽셀 해상도는 일부 사용자에게 실망스러울 수 있습니다.

예상 출시 시기는 이번 분기 말 이전이지만, 아직 가격이 명시되지는 않았습니다(제 추측으로는 초기 갤럭시 S 시리즈 가격대인 약 32,000~35,000원 범위일 것 같습니다).

Jose Farrugia · 15 years ago

The Samsung Galaxy S2 will be priced at P46,000. Check out the details here – http://www.techdron.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-priced/

How’s the battery life? Typical less than a day andriod? Multi-Cores consume more power. To be clear, i mean using the same tech i.e. Core 2 duo vs. Core 2 Quad. Given the same clock speed a dual-core consumes less power compared to the quad.

Same story goes with single vs. dual-core. And styling wise, samsung should innovate and not imitate the iphone.

kyflo · 15 years ago

I hope that it has a 1seg TV tuner just like the Brazilian specs of this phones.

Cesar Noel · 15 years ago

When I discovered that you can backup you Android data on your Google Account (and with no other softwares) made me wonder why apple cannot do away with the iTunes and go directly to the ‘net. Also not all podcasts can be downloaded on your iPhone/iPod Touch devices because of store restrictions.

leemar · 15 years ago

saan ba pede tumambay at makapag snatch ng ganitong kamahal na phone? wala na kasi akong work. can’t afford to buy now, ill just have to snatch or holdup someone. lol

@daryl:
3.0 is exclusively for tablets as of the moment. Google hasn’t announced anything related to honeycomb on a smartphone. So, 2.3 is the latest firmware for an android smartphone in the meantime.

daryl puyales · 15 years ago

will it run or can be upgraded to android 3.0?

Earl · 15 years ago

I give you my condolences Sir. Yuga! I know your doing your best to deliver the latest tech news to us readers and it is much appreciated!

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 15 years ago

@name & @wakocoke — sorry for the delay in the blog post. There was a death in the family and I flew back to the province. Not having enough sleep and time to go online, I think I missed the press release/story by about a day. Will try my best next time.

Samsung galaxy S II is the forefront of latest and greatest hardware specs super AMOLED Plus, dual core 1ghz processor, 1gb ram, gorilla glass, hspa+ 21Mbps, 1080p @30fps encoding/decoding, etc. plus ginger bread 2.3

This really pushes competition to next level. Samsung can introduce more new products faster than Apple because they are more advanced than Apple. Korea and Japan are 3-4 years ahead than US in Technology right now.

Almanski · 15 years ago

I agree! Korea and Japan Products are better than US in terms of Technology.

raymond · 15 years ago

The screen technology of the Galaxy S II is not something to be underestimated.

From phonearena:
“Dubbed Super AMOLED Plus, it remedies the main drawbacks of the first generation, as found in the Galaxy S, namely low actual resolution, due to use of the PenTile matrix, and run-of-the-mill brightness. The 4.3″ Super AMOLED Plus display on the Galaxy S II has a 50% higher sub-pixel count, which made text more clearly discernible than on the Galaxy S.”

From gsmarena:
“The new Super AMOLED Plus display is quoted to have an improved response time, reportedly beating LCD IPS technology. The should also reduce power consumption by 18%.”

From engadget:
“As at CES, we were blown away by the clarity and brightness of the Super AMOLED Plus display — picture the already-excellent Super AMOLED technology amped up on steroids, and you’ll have a good sense of what we’re talking about here.”

Eh, I happen to like iTunes. No brainer syncing. I also got a case with mine since my hands are sweaty, I didn’t even get to check if there was a signal problem. :)

And why didn’t you get an iPod? iPhone 4 went out locally September last year, there were refreshed 2010 iPods by then and they have retina display too.

“Super AMOLED Plus also comes with a Real Stripe matrix. Theoretically, this means images may be a wee bit sharper looking, though at first glance you wonâ€™t see the difference between the regular Super AMOLED and the Plus one. The Pentile matrix of the previous gen SAMOLED screens was the main cause for some overly geeky criticism. “

Who will carry this? SMART OR GLOBE?

boo · 15 years ago

@lolipown:
i agree.. its not for everyone.. i just hope samsung will continue to support the older model since not everybody replaces their phones annually..
also, it may discourage new users to pick up their products if it has very limited support..

boo · 15 years ago

@lolipown
there are custom ROMs and with constant updates which i think are superior in terms of features than what samsung has been providing..

@paul

fanboi for high quality???

no expansion memory + itunes dependence + previous signal problems= high quality?

blinded i guess.. i own an ip4 so i experienced it firsthand..aside from the retina display and smoother UI, it has nothing on the current galaxy s model.. i would have opt for an ipod if it wasn’t for the resolution and lcd quality..

raymond · 15 years ago

On the contrary, those who actually saw the Samsung Galaxy S II were awed by the Super AMOLED Plus screen! Even brighter than the previous Super AMOLED but consumes significantly less power.

Almanski · 15 years ago

Really? wow this is very nice Android Phone!

marco · 15 years ago

At least it’s not a shiny plastic this time.

I don’t have any problems with low ppi screens. It’s a thing that users will not notice if not aware. Guys, you’re frustrating yourself over nothing. Not that the screen degrades, it’s still 800×480, the standard for android, c’mon people! You’re being too geeky. Our TVs at home don’t even reach 100 ppi yet no one complains.
Actually, no one complains until apple released iphone 4. I wonder why… XD
anyway, that’s how trends work right? Much as in fashion industry.

Well it’s a thing to be considered, yeah. But certainly not a deal breaker, because you also avoid fragmentation, for non auto-scaling apps that is.

As we’re talking about ppi here, you should know that a high res should compensate with bigger screens to be 100% effective. WVGA on 4.3″ is still on the bracket, it’s usable at its best, DHD owners must agree.

I’m not anti-retina display innovation blah blah. I just think high res screens is way too over rated. Congratulations to apple, you influenced people a lot. And for the record, i don’t believe the resolution is the only thing responsible for iphone 4’s highly praised retina display. I think it’s more on the IPS technology behind it and of course, because of the totality of every technology apple applied in between.

Anyone’s welcome to disagree.

al · 15 years ago

i agree with the rest, i ignore recycled news and jump straight to the comments.

Back to this phone, plastic is a no no for me.

wakocoke · 15 years ago

puro rehashed na lang ung entries nya dito :( wala bang local?

name · 15 years ago

yuga please make your blog more up to date, coz galaxy S II has been featured to tons of int’l review sites since yesterday .. i don’t mean anything bad, just constructive criticism :)

anyway, one thing that i don’t like about the phone is it’s over-all plastic body

Abiel · 15 years ago

sorry for the multiple comment! :)

Phoenix · 15 years ago

agree with lolipown. that’s how they’ve always been. hmpht!!!

lolipown · 15 years ago

@boo
For tech-savvy users I concur that it’s a non-issue but not everyone wants to root/hacktify their device.

boo · 15 years ago

@lolipown

who needs official samsung updates when devs cook custom ROMS a 100x better than the stock ones..

lolipown · 15 years ago

And now Samsung has no reason to release Android 2.3 on any of their current phones. Want Gingerbread? Get a new phone.

razorous · 15 years ago

This is better than the Motorola Atrix! FTW!!!

Almanski · 15 years ago

Yes this Android Phone is better in my iPhone!

Almanski · 15 years ago

I agree and this Android Galaxy S II is better than iPhone

Abiel · 15 years ago

I still can’t get over the Xperia Play… :)

nice color theme and background… :)

@Fleeb

Why the double standard? You also have to wait for the next Galaxy S.

If you need a smartphone right now then both the iPhone 4 and the current Galaxy S are fine and timely choices, since if last year’s launches were an indication it’ll take 3-4 months after US launch before they make it here.

Ideally, you’ll likely see them on Globe by 3rd quarter.

Fleeb · 15 years ago

Well before the iP4 (iP3GS), it’s wait for the iP4. Now it’s wait for the iP5. I’ll wait for the iP7, quality and all. But then again, thus the reason why I don’t really like 4.3″ screens with low pixel density. Let’s wait and see where that 4.5″ Hitachi screen with a pixel density of about 360 dpi (?) at 1280×720 will be used.

Oni · 15 years ago

“drools”mag iipon na ako para dito

dhan · 15 years ago

but still, the hardware specs makes one drool XD.

gotta agree with cosmic on the apps for android but I have high hopes that the android market will get more “quality apps”
(currently using galaxy spica)

Paul · 15 years ago

@BRUNO

Yes, I am a fanboy for high quality.

After all when I spend 35k on a smartphone I don’t expect to see pixels, which is what you’ll get if you look hard enough on 800×480 resolution 4.3″ displays. :)

@Paul · 15 years ago

Low resolution a deal breaker? Haha! Having no SD slot is a deal breaker. Dropping calls because you didn’t hold your phone the way Steve Jobs told you to is a deal breaker. Having your phone coated in a glass that shatters when it falls is a deal breaker. Having to use itunes to transfer files is a deal breaker. Having even one thing common with you, ie, iphone user/apple fanboy, is the biggest deal breaker of them all!

cosmic · 15 years ago

Ang ayoko ko lang sa Android, yun mga APPS!!

Earl · 15 years ago

I really look forward to this handset!!!^^

BRUNO · 15 years ago

^Fanboi spotted

“Just wait for new iPhone” – typical fanboi lines.

Paul · 15 years ago

Aye, the low resolution is a deal breaker.

That retina display on the iPhone 4 really spoils you, and considering the next version will have upgraded CPU and memory specs it’s better to wait for that if you plan to spend 35k or more on a smartphone.
