David Daniel Well it does lag a bit (not as much as S3) yeah but even today it runs Android so much better than the 4S runs iOS 8 so I still give props to the S2.
David Daniel it lags because your try to download free games from internet or cracked versions of them, i had s2 and it worked perfectly until the inner screen decided to just... just by itself
+PlaystationQUAD i exchanged my iPhone 4 which had a broken screen to an S2,16Gb,looks pretty good,few scratches on the back,nothing else...The S2 has a very very great performance,only the battery needs swaped I thing,so...Samsung for the WIN!
I'd go with the S2. I don't have the problematic crazy chip, so I've pretty much modded and overclocked the living shit out of my phone. Works damn good and smooth.
I remember this way too clearly where I had an iPod touch and expected to go for an iPhone, but the Galaxy S2 looked so much better I went for it instead. Funnily enough though I did eventually return to Apple with the iPhone 6, there were just so many little issues with Android that gradually I just got tired of it.
I have s2 x and i have used iphone 4s as well , 4s has a better display but the tiny screen ain't meant for watchong movies, s2 has the better smartphone sized display iand is more customizeable better for gaming , better camera ,is also cheaper then 4s , what i am trying to say is with galaxy s2 you cant get bored with it, but with a 4s, you discover all the features in the first week so s2 is def better overall
Baybars bUt ItS bIgGeR!!!1 and nevermind that iPhones last twice as long easily.. they get continued support where Samsung basically forgets that they made a device after two years..
Will TouchWiz is not as bad, anyway I don't have TouchWiz because I rooted my Note5, So I have stock android with some modifications in it which makes it even better.
I love Apple products. Mainly because it's simplistic & the accessories are "universal". Meaning that it's not hard to find add ons or chargers for iPhones. IMO it's a bit more organized too. Android lets you have a bunch of customization which is something that bugs me, I can see why people like more freedom tho (:
I had an samsung galaxy s2 plus but it's absolute shit the memory was full and the phone lagged so hard so I switched to the 4s and I have no problems it looks better and ios7 looks awesome samsung sucks
Its because the original s2 is a powerhouse. the s2 plus is a cover and a cheapy copy. they say that if you want an s2 try to get the original one. and if you do you're lucky. the gpu and ram is better in the original one. dont know for sure with the cpu though
The galaxy was quicker as it didn’t have any nice animations with its UI. It looked ancient and jittery compared to that 4S, that even back then kept that silky smooth iphone UI. And back then I was a massive Android fan boy. But every time I went on my dads 4S I couldn’t help but deep down admit the camera took better photos and the UI was silky smooth and crash free.
Samsung cant even make a good launcher or music player or video player atleast iphone stock apps is way better i cant even come back to samsung cause how suck the music player is compared to iphone it doesnt even have cover art
like i said i dont like third party apps sound on iphone is better aswell with stock apps... i think downloading third party apps is a more bullshit excuse
Lol dumbass why u so mad? Just sayin the truth stock music app stock sms app is better on ios i had the s2 for years but 4s had better battery life, better fps in games like shadowgun deadzone etc and what im sayin is the truth u cant even see any pixelation on the retina dsiplay while u can on a s2 stupid ass the s3 is the better competition for the 4s
Ur just ignorant fool like i said i tried both i had my s2 for years and im on my 3 month on my 4s now.. S2 dont even have updates left out of the dust 4s will get ios 8, and about the music app we talkig about samsung music app sound sucks, no cover flow, lags, no built in widget stock music app sucks even playerpro sucks give me a valid reason why s2 is better?? I can play psx fullspped with retroarch all of the emulators still smooth with tweaks on cydia
Play games like minion rush 4s wins list goes on an on and on and dont tell me iphone is close os mine is jailbreak if u know ur shit jailbreak is almost as flexible as android
no my dear. we're not obsessed. the fact that we love material things doesnt mean we are obsessed. i just cant imagine how we humans got these brilliant things built. our civilization is really overwhelming. i'm just impressed by the engineers who worked to make such beautiful and elegant devices that empower our day to day living.
This is when I was very found of both companies especially Samsung. I loved the s2 it was my daily driver for a long time. But now being in 2013 I neither have interest in the s4 nor the 5s... It's a shame because I really did love these companies
I remember in high school when the 6 came out thinking it looked HUGE. Couldnt tell which one was the plus model unless side by side. I played with an iPhone SE (same size as iphone 6 non plus) at the at&t store the other day when picking up my 15 pro and it felt microscopic lmao how times have changed.
My Dad still uses the S2 in 2021 :D. I have bought the phone 2012 and it is still going although i have bought a new phone for him he still sticks to the S2.
Miss typed my last message. It was not right for me to act the way I did, and I apologize. I think we all should just let everyone love the phone they have and accept the fact that all phones do amazing things and just enjoy the technology.
In Sweden it's around 2900kr for the 16Gb version (which is around 445$). The iPhone 4s on the other hand, is 6374kr for the 64Gb version, 5250kr for the 3Gb version, and 4750kr for the 16Gb version. That's 978$, 805$ and 729$ respectively. For another 200kr (30$) you can get an extra 32Gb in your Samsung Galaxy S2. So there you have it. A mobile phone that's a tad better, and costs half as much as an iPhone 4s.
we have 2 iphone 4s users in our house.. and in both the phones there is a problem that the phone heats up and after that wifi, phone speaker and sometimes the microphone too..they all stop working..
No the Galaxy S3 is a rectangle shape (with rounded edges) because a rectangle is a 2D shape, meaning that it is only the top that you are measuring. What you are saying is that a rectangle is 3D.
The Note and the s3 are both rectangles, since their long side is longer than their short side and both short/long sides are the same length. Cases might ruin the feel of the phone, but did you want them to make a bullet-proof screen or something? If you pay attention to your phone, you shouldn't drop it. I've had an iPod touch for over 5 years now and I haven't dropped it a single time.
Uhmm, i guess 4s if you like a simple phone with a great amount of features and a phone that gets the newest update immediately, and the 2s if you want a kinda more feature bloated phone where there is no limitations. Im using iPhone 5 myself and I use it for school, video recording, music and it runs perfectly with iOS 7. Though the 4s can get kinda laggy from time to time. :)
You do realize that the connection bar actually has no meaning whatsoever. It's pretty much a myth, or a marketing thingy. Four bars doesn't necessarily mean that your connection is good for example. And it certainly isn't the same on every mobile phone. The S2 may have a better connectivity with one bar than the iPhone has with 3 bars for all we know. And it was only in the beginning that the "connectivity was better" as you stated it.
I agree with you but with Google now you probably mean The new Google voice search. Google Now is the new feature that tells you useful information automatically through the day.
But it gets rectangular when you open it. And what difference does it make anyway? My point here is that the iPhone really does have several flaws, not being able to remove the battery, not supporting flash, smaller screen size, more fragile screen, less RAM and less powerful processor, but being rectangular is really not one of them. Btw, I'm talking about the 4s. I don't know about the 5 yet...
I don't think plastic is "cheap". Unless it's very "hollow" plastic. The S2 feels more luxiurious. It feels like you hold an expensive phone when you're holding the S2, not with the iPhone, even though the iphone costs more than twice as much.
S2 really is a timeless phone. My gf has one for a long time and still works perfectly. Same goes for the Droid RAZR
Timeless sure lol.. I had mine for one year and it started after lagging so damn bad.. I'm happy with iPhone now
David Daniel Well it does lag a bit (not as much as S3) yeah but even today it runs Android so much better than the 4S runs iOS 8 so I still give props to the S2.

The iPhone doesn't say force close it just crashes to the home screen.

I don't think plastic is "cheap". Unless it's very "hollow" plastic. The S2 feels more luxiurious. It feels like you hold an expensive phone when you're holding the S2, not with the iPhone, even though the iphone costs more than twice as much.
