    Qualcomm Vs. Exynos is a good example.

    AT&T is pushing hard a Qualcomm based Galaxy S2 Skyrocket LTE phone as an "upgrade" over the GS2. Even the pimply faced teenage salesman at Best Buy thought the Qualcomm based Skyrocket was an "upgrade".

    There is so much misinformation out there its ridiculous.

      People are so dumb to only compare the freakin' frequenzy of a processor and never ever try to read anything about its arquitecture, which makes more difference, than 300mhz on both over 1ghz dual core devices.

        Anonymous, 12 Nov 2011Just ask Gameloft about fragmentation on Android. MALI-400... moreand still, later there will be games running on it, which the vr540 cannot support. And you can always use Chainfire 3D to make every game work perfectly on Mali 400, also the Tegra2 based games.

          Anonymous, 11 Nov 2011Mali 400 is a sad GPU compared to PowerVr540actually not true...

          I had SGS1 and SGS2 and on SGS2 most games run way more fluid than on SGS1. The other thing is, that you just compare those stupid benchmarks, that test one thing of a million things you could test it on. The other thing is, that Mali 400 is a Quadcore GPU and PowerVR540 just a Singlecore GPU. When ICS will be available, it will for the first time ever reveal the true potential of Mali400 and probably blast all other GPUs for Smartdevices to their corners. Even the better and newer version of PowerVR, which are dual core, on the iPhone4S and iPad2 wont really stand a chance then.

              stupid samsung devs, 11 Nov 2011just quit that stupid mhl tv out crap. put a darn hdmi, all... moreYour comment makes no sense... MHL is a new standart, which not only Samsung follows. And who the hell would buy a phone, with a normal HDMI port? Way toooooooooo BIG! Most phones would need to be made thicker, for such a port to fit in, what did you expect? Buy a MHL Cable or an MHL to HDMI Adaptor. Adaptor makes more sense right now, because it can be used with any TV and is smaller to take with you.

                AnonD-8191, 11 Nov 2011Is the OMAP4430 less "powerfull" than the current... moreExynos is indeed superior than omap although it is clocked less due to "clock efficiency" is better. read some reviews about arm cpus.

                it's high clocked amd cpu can't beat the intel cpu in terms of performance.

                        Just ask Gameloft about fragmentation on Android.
                        MALI-400 GPU in Exynos has the least amount of games.

Almost feels like Blackberry with their clone phones. Also, I'm not so sure I'd be happy to buy a phone, only to find out later a gazilion new models have been introduced.

                                  Is the OMAP4430 less "powerfull" than the current SoC on the first galaxy s2?

                                  The OMAP4460 appears to be a better option since it can be clocked at 1.5Ghz.

                                    Why can't we just have ONE model of Galaxy S2?

                                    I bet the successor to ICS will not be compatible with the original, yet the SkyRocket will get it because of it's faster processors.

                                    Madness.

                                      It is true tat mali-400 do better than powerVR 540..but powerVR do better performance if attach with OMAP chipset..yet,GT-i9100G is still better although he cannot beat up his brother GT-9100 in term of performance..

                                        Scratch what I said - the different GPU may cause developers a bit of hassle.
