There cannot be a different version of SII for India... how would it be practical? I am sure Indian market will get he 8.49mm model of SII

There isnt any mention of a thicker version in GSMArena anywhere. How can it even exist? :S
Lets wait and see. I just hope its not a different chipset Inside. :(

Yeah, I'd also buy from Vodafone if they offer it at ~28k :D

But yeah, Ill be waiting for stocks at physical dealers.. Pre-ordering is a waste..

This is a really good article about ALL the cpu's:

I fully agree with the Exynos ranking. The Mali is one weird gpu, and it seems nuts that the gpu and/or its drivers can't handle 3D like the established norm. This will definitely hurt the sg2 in the short and long term. It will mean devs will have to add specific support for the phone when making their games, just so they'll work on the sg2. And just like the galaxy s before it (sg1 had file size issues), apps will be flooded with 1-star ratings from users demanding support. It's not good for anyone really...

Excellent article. Thanks for sharing. :)
I was having an argument with someone regarding HTC Sensation and OMAP4... Turns out i was right in supporting the new Snapdragon :D.
But it spells bad news for Samsung. They would need Exynos to sell extremely well to get proper dev support in games department. But am sure they will eventually :D

Indiaplaza decreased the price of GS II to Rs.29,990. That's great :)
