Thanx
And if I play 1080p video on YouTube the unlocked version plays very very smooth and the TM version can't play even 720P without lag. I think its the gpu

Strange, I've played several 1080p vids on youtube with no problems, it's very very smooth. Granted I don't have the unlocked version to compare it to, but no complaints here.
Great comparison on the screenshots, do we attribute the washed out colors on the T-mobile version due to the larger screen?
i had the unlocked version and the user interface and experience was much smoother, i sold it and got this basically for the data
however, 1080p videos play fine for me. no lag

the screens are the same
however the display setting on the og sgs2 were different.
you coud set it to stamdard, cinema, or dynamic
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App
its on standard, and i checked the dynamic and cinema too so there is a diference in the colors, and I don't know why?

I can live with the CPU/GPU being a little weaker with better battery life and a compatible modem. Can you see the difference between 480p and 1080p on a 4 inch screen?
But the fact that the screen is washed out compared to the unlocked one is pretty disappointing.

Yeah, what's up with tmo not including a color setting adjuster? White balance on phones these days are allll over the place. Why not have the simple RGB sliders like on Enthomers ROMS

my first sgs2 looked washed out and had the vertical lines. My second sgs2 looks just as vibrant as that unlocked sgs2 international.
These pics from my hd2 don't really do it justice though..

I think the pink background is because t mobile tinted the original pic on some phones to match their color. Can some one upload the orange picture so I can test it?
I would like to see that file too. My wallpaper definitely looks more pink.
The mytouch 4g has a thread discussing variances in screens due to different suppliers; one screen washes out immediately off angle and the other doesn't (don't know how to post the link using xda app). There was a way to figure out what supplier made the screen using the terminal emulator app to link which supplier was the bad screen. so i'm wondering if the same can be done with our phone of in fact we determine there are variances in screens.
It doesn't surprise me if different suppliers were used resulting in differences in the quality of the screen color. We just need to figure out if there are different screen part numbers and if there is a link between the good screen and the bad screen.

Not true. Use the $25 credit media hub gave you in the box. I just watched roast of Charlie Sheen and it was so crisp!

Yeah, its not the resolution because it looked awesome on the exynos version. I think it has something to do with the way the qualcomm crap renders some codecs
Netflix quality is already pretty terrible. Try loading something in HD and you will notice it is still pretty firm.

There is an update to Netflix in the market. I did the update, then pulled up Tron Legacy. It started out terrible, but then built up the buffer and was fine after that.
Crisp picture
I just tried Netflix and get a very crisp picture. It might have to do with your connections speeds. Even when I stream Netflix at home on my PC, if I don't have a great connection, the picture is downgraded to accommodate whatever bandwidth I have, so every now and then I do get a very bad picture but generally it's pretty good (not great).
netflix looked like **** on my vibrant too hell it looks like **** on my cpu and xbox lol
Netflix picture quality is based on your connection. hell...if your picture is bad at home then you need to do something about your connection. I have great picture quality on my computer and sexbox360!
Netflix looked great on my phone earlier today. Was on WiFi on home and had no issues.

Netflix automatically adjust video quality based on the speed of your internet connection try it again on wifi if it looks bad and it should be better... i doubt its the phone since it handles 1080p blu ray rips fine

The same happened to me
Looked great on my phone....The quality of the image has nothing to do with this device, I can tell you that right now.
If your connection sucks Netflix will give you crap video. I can upload some youtube videos of me watching later.
I completely agree. Before the Update Netflix + Verticle lines issue made it look horrible. I have no problems on my second SGS2 in regards to Netflix streaming quality now.

A little of Both.
The Amaze looked brighter, had better vibrancy and better contrast than my first one.
With this second one the colors really POP..
Honestly the difference is like night and day comparing the two. IMO the verticle lines issue had a lot to do with it looking much lower quality while playing videos.

Nice comparison
I also like that you did the speed test on 4G
By the way I just popped your 1st "Thanks Meter" cherry. LOL..
Thanks, I wanted to show that the speed test app isn't the end all be all of Web performance, so that's why I went to the browser and opened up some websites to show that there isn't a drastic difference.

Nice to see the E4GT more than hold its own against the Nexus. If my eyes aren't deceiving me, I'd say the E4GT renders graphics more smoothly than the Nexus.

there's definitely some sort of color "taint" on the SGS2 screen but you get used to it.. as for the comparison vid, looking at those screens when they had the browser loaded (around the 7:10-8:05 mark espectially), i would definitely say the GN gets the "whitest whites" award. The Epic has sort of a bluish tint.
I would definitely agree, those are the words i was looking for "bluish tint".
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I should have watched the video from this phone in the first place. I like the GN alot but the 4g Speedtest surprised me. I expected it to be double that of Sprint. I get 10Mbps where I am at so the video made me much more at ease about my service. On the other hand, the ping time is impressive. I would love to have one though because if the development is anything like it has been lately on the Nexus S 4g then it will have loads of ROMs. Hell, someone already has a version of ICS from the international SGS2 booting on the NS4G.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Agreed. I'm pretty much settled that my next device will be a Nexus. I was holding out for the Galaxy Nexus but heard the "verizon only at launch" rumors and grew sick. After comparing the specs from the GS2 and the GN though.. I really believe from a hardware perspective the GS2 is tops (bluish tint aside). The memory card slot is a must have for me and ICS is just around the corner.
Also.. i don't anywhere NEAR 10mb/s in my area on 4g. more like... 3 or 4. :-/
Pretty cool. Thanks for the vid. I can't wait for ics on our phone.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I was sure that the GN would smoke the E4GT...but it looks like E4GT held it's own. I'll go ahead and hold onto mine until I see something that out performs it a little more impressively. Something weird I saw though. I noticed that the E4GT in that video had some serious response lag when he tapped a link. Mine has never lagged like that....even when stock. Maybe he needed to clear cache/cookies. Lol
BTW, I get 4G download speeds of between 7-11mb....but then again, I do live half a block from a tower.
If it can keep up now imagine when we get ICS
Awsome i still want the epic touch 4g becuase its on the best network and design is beautiful plus ics is around the corner

So GN & GS2 performance are equal.
GS2 has better battery life , better camera , louder Speaker , memory card slot & GN has better display.
Hey guys I know I've opened another one of these before but with a one s so I would like to apologize but I have a s2 and am thinking of getting a gnex.
I have read multiple online reviews and comparisoms but with mix results. Is the gnex worth trading? It is a straight trade.

Processor is almost equal although the exynos is a much better processor. The battery is great if you know how to manage things and are smart about things me personally get around 15 hours overall 5 hours being screen on time. Over wifi on Sprint 3G which is pathetic I get around 2-3 hours of display time. There is a giant difference between the plus and pentile especially depending on the phone you may get one with purple tint however rooting and using a custom kernel and calibrating the colors and contrast will help alleviate that. Overall it's the better phone. Just got jelly bean and it's not even been pushed as an OTA.

Has anyone tried the slow motion yet? I've taken several videos, at night, indoors and outside in bright day light and they all look very very terrible. They look as if they were taken in 480p scaled up. Actually they look like a crappy GIF animation.
Is anyone experiencing the same thing or is it just a problem on my end.

Judging by the sample videos posted on YouTube, this is a widespread problem. Even the commenters there noticed how pixelated and fuzzy the image is.
Cmon Samsung... this is one THE best feature that people are looking for, yet you fail so bad.
This stopped me from purchasing the Note 3. With the locked bootloader, no hide application features and now this...
