^^SGSL launched earlier in india, so i hoped SGSII will also do the same.
Alas! That is so not fair.
They should release the phone if its ready. In June it will be going heads on with iPhone 5 and HTC Pyramid. LG would have already taken up quite a bit of the market by that time. And if Atrix releases earlier at around same price, that too would be in quite a few hands before SGS II launch. They can only do themselves harm by delaying the launch.(unless its because of some issue with the phone itself.)

Galaxy Tab
UK Launch Price 799 pounds
USA Launch Price $699
India Launch Price Rs.28-30k (not MRP but market price)

Galaxy S
UK Launch Price around 550 pounds
USA Launch Price Around $599 or less
India Launch Price 28k

Nexus S
UK Launch Price Around 430-450+ pounds
USA Launch price Around $500
India Launch Price Around 27-28k


Do you see a pattern????

For those who don't:

If something sells for around A pounds in UK it sells for around $A +-10/15% in USA. And to get an approx Indian price once the thing is easily available, just take any of the two prices and multiply by around 50-55. The Indian price will be about -5% to +15% from that figure.

The approx estimate for S2 at launch is 550 pounds in USA. It is safe to assume that it will be around ~500-600 approx in USA at launch.

So the Indian price will vary btw 28-36k.



You can tally these figures for more high end Samsung phones released in the past, there is a definite pattern to it!

^^ Strange thing is that rite now o2X is better with just half the amount of ram in games.. the place where u need most ram.
Could it be driver issues? or just that tegra 2 is a better implementation than Exynos?

Why do you people say its better? Cause of FPS in benchmarks? SGS2's FPS is capped to 60 FPS..

^^ Not the benchmark.. if u see the video, games in SGS II takes longer to load, and in one of the games... the FPS is really choppy on SGSII, while it was perfectly smooth on the O2X. Thats y i think that with current drivers, Mali400 just cant stand upto Tegra 2 Geforce.

Hmm.. That could be the pre release software running on the SGS2.. Anyway, lets wait for the device to come out!

^^ Definitely hope so... Samsung should sort out these software problems before launch.

BTW... any news on Indian release date?

Click to expand...

Not could be, it's definitely the pre release software. Coz Gsmarena clearly stated that,

"It’s the GPU performance that surprised us though – the Mali-400MP GPU seems 20fps slower than the GeForce. We’re guessing that’s a software cap (like the one the original Galaxy S had) since the framerate always stayed at just under 60fps."
