www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-GAL...onfirmed-will-replace-existing-models_id27078
Again, I was reading some things in phone arena and ended clicking this article
Resuming: The phone was confirmed (along with Galaxy Ace 2) with the following characteristics
3.27 inch screen (from 3.14 inch)
resolution of 320 x 480 pixels (from original 240 x 320 pixels; around 176 ppi)
single-core 800MHz processor (Qualcomm MSM7227, no arm7 , more info here http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7227&c=qualcomm_msm7227)
512MB of RAM
a 3MP camera (exactly the same)
4GB of native storage

This will replace our phone directly (this means, the original galaxy mini will not longer sold) and it will be available starting next month in France initially
Price (I will add more info about the price as soon they are known):
The Galaxy mini 2 price stands at around $265 (200 euro) in Netherlands without contract

AND it will maybe get ICS update (most probably)
So, Maybe I'll buy it or buy the Ace, what do you think?

but,squadzone said he will only build a custom rom for galaxy mini with qualcomm standard 600Mhz...and i only love squadzone custom rom....

what about price for this two phone ? if the galaxy mini it is in the same price it would be great!!! ^^

i dont think the price will be the same as our original galaxy mini....look at all the features...except camera,everything is better... and squadzone's rom \m/..

I don't think it's the same arm v6. I've watched the video of Galaxy Mini 2 and it can play flash on the browser!
And, yes. of course we expect the newest software for every new Android device.
Mini 2 have a very bit upgrade from Ace...
but it still a good device to replace Galaxy Mini.

... that about apps for mini?

From what i've heard.It would be upgraded to the latest version of android Ice cream sandwich and that sounds greatt..

Oh, sorry, I readed the the article and posted it here yesterday, and I did a little research but no luck , but, I added this to the first page, as well the video, thanks!
And, because is a new phone, it will get ICS, so, I'm looking forward to it

For me isn't a big upgrade for the phone, i want the Galaxy Ace 2. and I think that will be my next phone.

[Q & A] Ask ask your questions here !!

Hi guys
I was planning to buy the Samsung Galaxy S Advance as my second phone, it has an dual core 1 Ghz ST-Ericsson U8500 CPU with a Mali 400 GPU from ARM with 768 MB of RAM. and other similar features like the S plus.
According to the stericsson website the U8500 chip supports 1080p video recording but on the gsmarena specs it shows 720p with 30fps (maybe someday could unlock the full hd feature )
The main reason i posted this thread was to ask about it's GPU performance, as it includes the same GPU from the S2.
Will the performance be the same as the S2 ? or somewhere around that ?
And what about the U8500's performance ?

Another Question
Are Dual cores really fast compared to a single core
I own a S plus which has a Qualcomm msm8255t 1.4 Ghz single core cpu, which i find quite fast, it runs CM9 very smoothly.

I'm also considering this phone, and I hope you don't mind I through in another question: is it true what they say that with this being "an upgrade to the Galaxy S" and only available on limited markets we don't have to expect much development and selection in custom ROMs?
I am considering either this, or a Motorola Atrix 4G and I really don't know what to choose...

I actually like it's design, it's somewhat like a mix between the S2 and Galaxy Nexus, more like a baby Nexus.
anyways this phone has great potential as it beats the galaxy R (see benchmarks at gsmarena)

I don't think that it'll get much attention by devs. It's not that the phone's slow, but there won't be as many users as other Galaxy S phones have. You can see what happened to S Plus: it's faster than the Galaxy S, but not even supported by Cyanogenmod, with a very small community. The simple reason why the Galaxy S has more users now than the advanced one will ever have, is that the S once was the best phone out and many people bought it. The Plus and Advanced aren't. They get 1/2 cores when already 2/4 are standard.

LOL i just bought the device it's real smooth was playing some hd games and the performance is really good, the mali 400mp is doing its job just fine and multitasking is pretty good
I don't know about Germany but this device seems to be getting quite popular here in India

A friend got it... but he's Android noob .

I just looked on amazon - for 40€ more you get the S2. IMO it would be the better choice. More RAM, faster, awesome cam. Why didn't you buy it?

I will rather buy S2. I learn my lesson with i9001.

In Croatia "S Advance" is on T-Mobile more than 200£ cheaper SII, therefor I don't see a reason not to buy it, except that it probably will not get much attention from developers.

there's quite a big difference in the price between the advance and the S2, so i chose the Advance over the S2. (and also i liked its nexus like curve, the curved display looks really cool)
Anyways the phone is performing well, for the first time i could play GTA 3 (v1.3) with full graphics without any lags.
and now have started enjoying gaming.
I don't regret buying this phone, maybe when samsung releases ics for the phone it will perform similar to the S2

Nah, if you get past 300€, 40€ aren't a big difference. With the S2, you can replace your cam with the phone, with Advanced you can't take usefull pics. And just look at the awesome dev support. I think Sammy only released the Advanced because of the big critic, that none of the Galaxy S devices gets ICS. Now they can say 'upgrade to advanced' and make money with their bad support. But in the end it's your decision .

I know S2 is a better device but i still liked the look of the Advance, and was quite curious about the new NovaThor chipset
and btw there ain't no news of ICS for the galaxy Advance (I'm starting to worry now )
The phone seems to have some very nice motion controls (like when you double tap on the top of the phone it activates voice search, and the tilt to zoom function)

I'm confused between s advanced and Xperia arc S (both of them at same price ) but i'm scared to get s advance duo to lake of support/deve so what do u think about that nail16??

Xperia Arc S has the same configuration as the galaxy s plus so it's a single core device and has a adreno 205 (the gpu kinda sucks)
I say go for the Advance don't worry about the dev support, it seems to be a powerful phone it will soon be recognized by the devs

Ihope so =D

Theres No XDA support for the phone. So its a big no actually !!
In india also its not that famous :O..!!

Great phone,
you can buy it closed eyes

[Q] Purchasing Question

currently i don't owned GALAXY S i9000 yet,does anybody knows that it is worth to buy GALAXY S I9000?
PS:Currently i have GALAXY GIO gt-S5660

I think SGS1 is no longer offered in the market by Telcos, so I'm assuming you're buying a used SGS1. IMO as long as you're sure the unit is still 100% working without any defect, it is worth buying. There are so many Rom & kernel development on SGS1 that make the unit feel like it is still brand new.
But of course compared to SGS2 &3, SGS1 is slower and with limited RAM (only 512MB). That's the downside of it.
Device: GT-i9000
Rom: JB 4.2.1 Vanilla Rootbox v0.0.2

thanks but i won't gonna buy new GALAXY S cuz its expensive for me in brand new,just a used GALAXY S. SGS3/SGSII are insane for their prices so i won't gonna purchase them.

I forgot to mention that with the new
Roms being released lately, SGS1 is increasingly becoming very fast in addition to it's being smooth and stable. So i honestly think it's still worth buying if you currently do not have the budget for a better phone like SGS2 & 3.
But of course, ultimately you are the one who will decide.
These are just my honest opinions.

imo - of the used phones in this pricerange - the i9000 is the best value: good screen, lightweight, great custom roms.

what about CM9 and CM10.1 on GALAXY S.does it full functionalling just like camcorder,camera,wifi,games etc?

Yes functioning fully. But i can only answer for CM10.1... I didn't use CM9.
Device: GT-i9000
Rom: JB 4.2.1 Vanilla Rootbox v0.0.2
Gapps +..: JusTunBean Inverted
Kernel: Mackay 0.243

Thanks but what about GALAXY S camera's night mode,does its better?
cuz somehow i read that GALAXY S has better night mode than Led flash.

No, because there is no LED flash, using camera at night using SGS1 produces very bad quality pictures & videos.
It is recommeded to use the camera only at daytime.

Thanks,just a one more thing,should i buy GALAXY S plus or Galaxy S ?
cuz they boths are cheap in used price

You can search at internet the specs of both phones.
I think S+ is better because it has a faster processor 1.4Ghz compared to S which is only 1Ghz.
Another important factor is the internal SD size. Bigger is better. Maybe you can check in actual both phones while negotiating with the seller.
Device: GT-i9000
Rom: JB 4.2.1 Xylon
Gapps +..: JusTunBean Inverted

yeah i checked.but confused about their specifications
- Galaxy s+ has better processor speed but its GPU chip is not such a better than GALAXY S GPU
- GALAXY S has a Hummingbird processor which is better while GALAXY S+ has adreno 205 processor which is an kinda ordinary for gaming
- Somewhere i read that galaxy s+ has more smoother ics running than galaxy s

S i9000
Hi.. i would sugest u i9000 (galaxy S)... i was once a galaxy y user.. just bought i9000 two months before.. it has gud development than any other S series.. when i bought S+ was cheaper than S... i bought S because of it has good development.. and i am currently using Slimbean 3.1(Andoid 4.1.2) its awesome smooth!!

And galaxy s plus is overclockable to 1.8ghz. If you are not gonna use it much for gaming go for s+. If gaming is a must for you, you can go with s.
BTW, s+ isn't that bad with gaming, of course with custom ROMs. I can play mc4 smoothly.

[Q] Samsung galaxy s III mini vs. Samsung galaxy s advance

Hi.
I'll buy new phone but I need help... Which is better?? Exactly, I mean this:
Camera
Performance
SGSadvance has Auto-brightness and SGSIIImini no. So Which is better?
Thanks for the replies

Hi i have two cell and much better mini
Sent from my GT-I8190L using xda premium

well, S advance and s3 mini are same except in ram , s3 mini is 1gb ram , while S advance is 768mb ram , I think everything else are same
but since I own s3 mini I'll recommend it for you xD
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app

Aside the lack of auto brightness which can draw more battery... (I never used it on my SGSII at all) better take Mini 3, it performs better also on battery and it's not only cause of JB IMO.
Smooth, slick and ready to be moded, almost like its bigger brother, while Advance remains in shadow (not that it should be this way, but blame Samsung for not respecting promises so to push S3 Mini sales).
ps:I admit slightly curved display, musch similar to gnex is a good excuse to take Advance S, but, it is the only reason, no mater design (if you like more squared bezel).
Cheers,
Fevv.

Plus it will probably be updated more than the S Advance.

And Sgs Advance won't get it too.

I'm sorry not to say that the S Advance is bad.
But it has a lack GPU. I dunno the kernel or the GPU itself or the GPU is bad. someone said that.
And I've tried it myself. I played some games, temple run 1 lags.
I played temple run in Galaxy Wonder without no lags.

i9000 being the international version definitely has a Big community. So more roms/kernels to try and ton of tweaks too.
As for the other questions you'll find better comparison on the Internet.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

But i googled a lot.. .. lots and lots !
Didn't get relevant answers !
Well, i wanna buy a second-hand galaxy s or s plus .
Which one is more expensive ?
Which one is better if we don't consider xda/rooting/custom_rom/developer_community ?

I don't really know, your gonna have to ask someone who has had both phones to really know, but in terms of "stock", the I9001 is Android 2.3 while the I9000 only has 2.1

As I understand it:
Q1.) I9000 seems to have the bigger community
R1.) I don't have any pictures, but...
AMOLEDs have a wider colour gamut than standard LCD screens and so are able to produce a wider colour range than LCD panels are.
Also, LCDs have a backlight that powers the display while AMOLEDs run by lighting individual pixels. What this allows for AMOLED screens is to light only the neccesary pixels, meaning blacks look really... black. As opposed to LCD screens where the whole screen is lit up even for the colour black. To a lot of people AMOLEDs tend to have colours that pop out, even on the early I9000 AMOLED.
Q2.) I'm not entirely clear on the playback capability of the Galaxy Star/Star Pro, however, I can say at least that the I900x has really good playback support on stock GB, only a small number of files can't be played (.3gp, some mkvs)
Q3.) The Galaxy Star/Star Pro runs Jelly Bean, no idea how well its optimised on such a device, but chances are it'll be smoother than stock GB on the I900x
Q.) I'll let you decide:
I9000:
-Greater dev support
I9001:
-1.4Ghz Snapdragon as opposed to 1Ghz Hummingbird
-Slightly bigger battery (?)
Otherwise both phones are more or less the same

Correct, we have a 1650 mAh battery. But if you look at the community for the i9001, there's not much we're missing. We have CM9, CM10, CM10.1 and CM10.2 (being developed) so there are enough options to upgrade your phone. Our development team may not be the same size but they make some awesome software

i9000 has a bigger community + CyanogenMod official support.

What is value pack ?
A complete firmware package ( which can be used to unbrick via odin ) ,
or just an add-on package ( which has to be flashed over default firmware, and cannot be used to unbrick directly )
??
