"The screen reads, and this is his big plus, the matrix of this size so well in the sun do not behave."???

edit:
english version now too -> http://goo.gl/OMv0G
"Under direct sunlight the screen is readable and it is a huge advantage, usually matrices this big cannot offer you that."

The videos made me worry alot!, the phone is lagy and there's moment the phone freeze for a seconds!, too much like the last video in the 2nd part, just like 1st Galaxy.

I'm afraid if the bootloader is locked, that's will be the deal-breaker for me and i'm going to cancel my preorder.

any clarification.

GamerOfFreedom · Mar 10, 2011

Yup, the device is a prototype and not the final product therefore shouldnt be taken serious.

tintol · Mar 10, 2011

Even during the showcase in MWC the phone was laggy, but the devs need some challenges...

The SGS ii will probably be another unpolished diamond, like SGS.

I don't believe Samsung would do the mistake of locking the bootloader after the SGS success. They read XDA and they know what people think about Motorola.

ryude · Mar 10, 2011

As long as it's as hackable as the original SGS, I'll buy it.

Another unlolished diamond? Honestly, I think that the companies are alall stepping their game up and bringing more to the table.

With more emphasis on mobile computing, these companies know that they need to be better and faster at lreleasing new stuff. The Galaxy S 2 will be their flagship for a while anand if it goes to multiple carriers like tgr first, it will be great.

I agree with you, but when I said "another unpolished" I was refering to the SGS.
It was a great phone on arrival and it became even better after the devs/Samsung optimized everything.

That's why I'm not worried with the lag we see on SGS ii. It's not a market version and even if the market version is not polished, we're here to do it.

It would be great if the international version was adopted by at&t, creating a giant SGS ii community.

Now that Apple is moving its production from Samsung maybe their lag between announcement and market is reduced.

Beards · Mar 11, 2011

I don't think any of us here should be worried or concerned about lag on the SGS2.
Unlike the SGS which had the RFS as a filesystem, the SGS2 will not be adopting this.
At least that is what I have been informed.

i really hope your sources are right, samsung needs to improve all of their mistakes on the sgs 2, no rfs, a working gps, less plasticky case for the phone etc

Lol have you seen the backing? I know these arevall prototype builds so we shouldn't assume this isvlike the final build, but the back plastic was thinner and more flimsy than the back of the Atrix.

Now im sure the final product wont be like this, and they could have had that model for easy access to the battery and whatnot, but you never know.

Plastic is good -- better heat dissipation and less damage when your phone falls.

the battery cover looks like the wind can break it in two

, im hoping they use the battery cover like the one on the infuse 4g

I agree; I always defend the Captivate's build; the plastic is somewhat flimsly but tthat allows it to take more drops due to it absorbing shocks and being lighter overall.

I've dropped mine from various heights many times and the screen is flawless; still works perfectly.

I can't find any information on whether the sgs II has rubberized plastic or just matte plastic. Anyone know?

darksaber73 · Mar 17, 2011

Matte plastic,and the protos still feature RFS file system.
that's why,as currently no one is 100% sure of the bootloader,many preorders are being suspended,like mine.
