After update camera is worse, look at those buildings on right, they look softer and a bit washed out on ICS device in comparison to old one.
Why gsmarena doesn't notice this?

          +1 on everything said in the review.
          Browser performance & Stereo Sound recording were major updgrades for me and the Camera is much better now.

          Without a doubt, this update is the best thing that could happen to my Galaxy S II.

            I rally don't understand that hype about ICS. I'm using ICS for three days and believe me, only thing that I want now is to make downgrade...

              Can anyone verify if Flash support has been lost after updating to ICS? I read somewhere that due to a "feature" of ICS, support for BT 3.0+HS and Flash is missing in an S2 with ICS.

              I'm not updating until I get confirmation of this quirk.
