Samsung I9105 Galaxy S II Plus preview: First look

11 January 2013
The Samsung I9105 Galaxy S II Plus has borrowed the finish of the Galaxy S III and is powered by a new chipset with a Broadcomm GPU. It's not a sea change by any means, but no wonders are expected of the Plus version really. All it tries to do is freshen up a proven formula and help Samsung tighten its grip on the midrange...

      to all of you who think this is a cr*p or *** phones are better than this,
      then please leave and go buy any phone you like without bashing others.

      btw, the fact that you read this review and even write comments in this article proves that you are Samsung's secret admirer.

        This phone has a better gpu than the original galaxy S II. Look at the Glbenchmark site and see the difference. It is to afford the larger videos. For this it is that it uses also 64gb micro sd cards. Above of that this gpu is for better games with better graphics already that has much better polygons rate. This gpu in terms processing power can achieve 24 gigaflops.

              Cortex CPU with Broadcomm GPU, this is what Nokia should have used in N9.

                    Samsung is killing s2 to force users to upgrade.
                    But I see s2 still has future with the developers

                      Bad job samsung...the broadcom videocore 4 gpu is the same found on the samsung galaxy y.
                      Samsung ridiculously stuck in a gpu of a phone one-fifth the price of a former flagship . :/
                      they should have put it dual core krait @ 1.2 ghz.Alteast the gpu is much better.

                          The Galaxy S4 with Exynos octa and surely a better design will kill the competition as always.
                          We'll wait and see.
