What will be the price at Vodafone stores ? when it will be there ? What is the scheme offered by Vodafone ?What is its price at croma ?
32,900 INR as per the available info.
if you want best price then try the phone at croma but buy from flipkart or infibeam . Coz online stores sell at minimum rates.
Thanks for the tip, Anshul. 🙂
Oh…I’m the first one here. Well, ok, so you delyaed it…You ignited rumours about launch in March-April-May, all in all to prevent customers from buying anything else, and finally you launch it just before I-Phone 4. You scared samsung. Althoug before igniting any fan boy fight my self, let me tell you that I am NOT i repeat NOT an Apple i-Fan.
Still samsung, Apple beats you, so does Optimus 2x, as you will launch it on 9th June. By that time we will have HTC Sensation, and Ya, I am a HTC Fan Boy, since My HTC HERMES-Diamond-Hero…and right when I thought I would but GS2, you pissed so many of your potential customers off with your constant delays.
I will reconsider my choice for sure. Sensation and 2x both are a blast.
P.S No fighting/arguing over which one is better i phone 4 , sensation, 2x or gs2 please
Mr..pranjal, I think you have not studied or compared all the mobiles. Have u compared Galaxy s II with any other phone ? just do it . I need not tell u . GS2 is ny time better.. pls go thru specs. Its world’s No. 1 android smart phone as of today. Some time its good to wait for best. Thanks Samsung. I am sure u will agree with me.
Well Mr. Ashok Joshi, not to be rude but when did i say GS2 isn’t a super phone. Bu, the marketing strategy they have used is very lame. The way they have said it again and again that they’ll launch it in March then April then May and now finally June.
One more thing, specs are only half of the story. Just because a phone is good on paper it does not means it is something awesome. I AGREE GALAXY S2 IS REALLY GOOD and Mali 400 mp GPU is great, but please do not underestimate the power of Adreno 220. Do not contain your self.
Do remember Adreno 220 on HTC Sensation and Evo 3d, and Tegra 2 on Atrix are running at higher resolution, 35% higher resolution than Galaxy s2
540 x 960 pixels, 4.3 inches Sensation, Atrix and Evo 3D
480 x 800 pixels, 4.3 inches GS2
DO not CONTAIN YOURSELF
You are also comparing it on paper. I have studied S2 for the last 3 months. Whatever available sources on internet u will find 90% of them say S2 as gr8 and No.1 as of today. you are the first person to say other cells like HTC are better than S2..I rarely can see any -ve comments on S2. from those who have actually used it.
No one will agree any time that S LCD screen is better that Super Amoled plus 2 screen

Here, Mr. Galaxy S2 fan boy.
It’s not about who agrees and who does not. I might even buy GS2, but would rather buy HTC Evo 3D. Now that is something new and fast.
Please, spend some more time, your 3 months isn’t enough, and this time do some thorough comparison. You are too obsessed with marketing and advertisement.

and the test showed that Adreno 220 GPU was 2.2 times faster than the other existing devices such as Mali-400 MP GPU

Nobody will agree that S LCD screen is better than Super Amoled plus 2 screen.
My dear EVO 3d is CDMA. and u have compared about graphics..I think mainly u r looking for gaming. what about RAM , Display, Storage , Camera, HSDPA, NFS, and so on..???
Dear Mr. Ashok Joshi, I think you did not read the complete article. EVO 3D CDMA has already been released in the designated markets, while EVO 3D(GSM/3G) will be released in 2nd quarter 2011, which is this one, as for your comparison
RAM = Both 1 GB. TIE
Display= 3D S-LCD vs SAMOLED, winner EVO since it has a 3D screen
Storage=Internal GS2 16GB vs 1GB EVO, but wait, both are expandable via memory card. TIE
Camera=8MP vs 5MP 3D Camera. Winner EVO
HSDPA= Tie
NFS= GS2 has it, evo does not. Winner GS2. NFC is partially used in U.S, in total of about 7~8 stores, lets see where you’ll use it in India. But ya, I agree GS2 has NFC.
Adreno 220 vs Mali 400MP, you decide, I have sent you a link.
