Galaxy S II vs. Galaxy S Plus vs. Optimus 2X: Head to head revisited

03 June 2011
Are you ready for more heavyweight droid action, with superclocked punches thrown around and more blood on the floor? It’s time for round two of our dual-core battle of the flagships. The Samsung Galaxy S II and the LG Optimus 2X...

You guys should have mentioned that the processors for SGS1 and SGS Plus are different!
i was so confused as to why the benchmarks for my overclocked SGS1 at 1.2ghz didn't match up with the SGS Plus.

    I heard about some people complaining about SGS2 wifi sensitivity. Could you do a report or some comparisons of this feature? Thanks a lot.

            are there any reviews out there that test the multitasking?
            Just curious about the official bloatware in some of these phones. Considering now Motorola is blaming Android Market for performance problems.

              I have S2, but I can not play Dungeon Defenders or Need for speed shift, and the "Monte Carlo"-track in the Gameloft game GT Racing motor academy is unplayable on S2, so I can definetly not yet play "everything" on the market. My original Galazy S actually plays more games than S2.
              Youtube-videos are good on S2, but it have problems playing flash-videos on rather many other webpages!

                Seriously, all the latest Gameloft games really put the phones 'to the limit;. GSMArena.com didn't want to waste money, that's all :D

                  SGS2 is the king for now, all yee bow before its awesomeness!

                    So what are we talking about here>
                    A little gaming machine with a great screen, and you can also make a telephone call, take an average photo if you please, and send a few sms''s when bored, quickly check a bank balance on the web if you can affort the charges, and generally play with an average interface. So where are the real points of difference with android phones. Is it just how well android it intergrated. Is that all there is. There is a proferation of android phones on the market which is what makes these phones boring. They are all the same for all intent and practical purpose.

                      Hope to see a comparison 'Galax S2 vs Optimus 3D vs Sensation/Evo 3D'. And if Optimus 3D was running on Gingerbread then the benchmarks would be perfect.
