MWC: Samsung Galaxy S2 video demo

Thinner, faster and even more impressive than its predecessor
Mon Feb 14 2011, 16:23

KOREAN GIANT Samsung unveiled its successor to the popular Galaxy S smartphone at Mobile World Congress (MWC), giving The INQUIRER a demonstration.

Samsung faced the difficulty of building on the Galaxy S, one of the most popular smartphones of 2010. The firm has gone about it by making the Galaxy S2 thinner, lighter and faster.

Putting the Galaxy S and Galaxy S2 (or II) side-by-side, it is easy to see that not only is the Galaxy S2 significantly thinner but it has a much improved screen.

Samsung include applications for viewing books, magazines and newspapers while its music store, which was unavailable due to connectivity problems at MWC, has seven million songs available, according to Samsung.

Playing around with the Samsung Galaxy S2, it is obvious that the company is onto another winner here, with every possibility that it will eclipse the impressive sales figures of the original Galaxy S. µ

Voice

This guys voice is really irritating?

Everything he says ends in a rising tone?

So his voice keeps sounding like he's constantly asking questions?

Even when he's not?

Eurrgh?

???? is WRONG

I need this power and MORE

Try running the PSX emulator ETC

Also there are betas for Dreamcast, Dosxbox, and NDS on Android which all need more power from Dual Core processors and the increased RAM

So YES this is the future. More powerful games etc will come

Nvidia is on target to have quad core processors by the end of the year.

I will not be happy until my phone can play PS2 games and has a 2TB SDXC card

To forgive is ...

We might have to forgive him his 8.49cm fail ... he's a pom, and they still use their antediluvian and senseless imperial measurement system...

...but then he said it downloads 21MB/s - which was an obvious mistaken reference to 21Mbps (1/8th what he said). So yes - tech knowledge fail, another slightly pitiable marketing lackey.

Has anyone actually come across a program in android that would require so much power?
Maybe the video out?
But my point, in pc if I can't run a program or of the system runs slow. Then I know its timw get a new pc (or dump adobe). In android I don't really see that happening.
How about working on the 4 day battery.
I know that with the processors comes programs, just like in gpu's, but come on more power to make the menu and browsing faster?
