Samsung Galaxy S II Plus might come in early 2013 with Jelly Bean

Samsung Premier is almost the same as your spec, with the very good battery life (check GSMArena)

And that's the reason i added "nothing less than"...
Which also means...it could be better than what i wrote!

For that specs you can buy GS3

GS2 plus specs will largely stay the same as GS2 I guess.

8. Nathan_ingx posted on 20 Nov 2012, 09:36 2 0

It won't sell if it's anything less than S3 would it?? It would be utterly meaningless!!

It won't sell to ppl like u obviously, but a lot of people want cheap good phones.

Sir, what i meant is this... GS2 plus might be similar to or less than GS 3 (i don't think it'll be anything like the GS2 else the 'plus' will be defeated). And from what i know, Galaxy 'S' series has never been cheap on launch (add Jelly Bean to that)...sans the contracts. So if it comes to that, the price won't be that far from S3...that's all i'm saying. On contrary to your comment, i'm a student who's saving for my next phone...

if you look at the specs of the galaxy s plus & galaxy s advance, they are both lying in between that of galaxy s and s2, still both ARE selling nicely.
as to the plus moniker, it might just signify some minor bumps in specs like upping resolution to qHD or above, maybe increasing screen, bettering the processor and obviously the most important-a newer OS!

That, i can't deny.
+1 for that...
Ok, maybe HD may not be but if Galaxy S plus is in between SI and SII, SII+ will definitely be between SII and SIII, no?
I still think it'll be much better than SII. Oh, well...i guess i'll have to wait and see.

One thing that many people don´t realize is that there are persons who don´t like to have humongous screens that can´t be used with one hand. Let´s see per brand:
Motorola: rarzr m/i
Sony: Xperia V/T
HTC: one S
But what has Samsung in screens smaller than 4.6 inches? The S3 mini (a joke) and the S2 (which is getting old, any of the above is better).
So they probably have realized of that and are going to create a new S2 with better resolution, chipset (may be 4212, same as the old but overclocked by moving to 32nm) and battery.
Or so I hope... I´ve been waiting for such a phone as I don´t like screens I can´t use with just one hand.

Those are fairly high expectations for a phone based on a 2-year old model. I could see the S4, but I can't imagine it will come with a 720p screen. Otherwise it would be the SGS III Minus or something.

9. Nathan_ingx posted on 20 Nov 2012, 09:37 0 0

lol...GS3- haha
Gs3 minus sounds negative...i know it's a joke. But seriously, GS2 plus is better than GS3 minus...no??

30. blackspot posted on 20 Nov 2012, 12:02 0 0

Honestly, if I could have a Galaxy S3 in the form factor of a Galaxy S2, I'm all for it. Besides, why do all of these top-spec'd phones have to be 4.7 inches & up I would gladly take a 4.3 in. or even a 4.5 in. top spec'd phone with a decent sized battery. But that's just me.

33. -box- posted on 20 Nov 2012, 13:59 0 0

They already have a Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate, which is a decontented Galaxy S2 Skyrocket I think. Guess the S2+ would be a decontented GS3 in a GS2 shell?

48. skymitch89 posted on 16 Feb 2013, 12:04 0 0

Dual core S4 and 720p display are high-end specs, the S2 Plus is supposed to be a mid-range device. So don't expect anything more than the same Exynos processor (possibly at a higher clock speed than 1.2Ghz) and a WVGA (480x800) SAMOLED Plus display (I should say that it would be possible that they have a qHD SLCD display though).

10. Commentator posted on 20 Nov 2012, 09:37 0 0

How is that a bad thing? Public perception of Samsung (thanks to Apple itself) is that Samsung makes extremely competent phones that easily rival the iPhone. If this is the case (and it is, despite whatever dreams of an Apple-dominant market-share are floating around you skull) then market saturation can only be a good thing.

13. Mxyzptlk posted on 20 Nov 2012, 09:45 4 0

Market saturation is never a good thing. Basic economics 101.

Yeah, tell that to failed companies like Procter and Gamble, General Electric, and 3M...

Also, since I'm no economist, I'll let you answer this question: in a young, high-growth smartphone industry with literally billions of untapped potential-users, a market which shows no signs of reaching maturity any time soon (exascerbated by its insanely high level of innovation and constantly changing quality standards), how will Samsung suffer by flooding the marketplace with product, especially when demand for said product is extremely high? (Assume that Samsung's execs are fairly qualified at their jobs and see that there is a feasible target demographic for each product they launch. They are getting paid millions of dollars to do this, after all, while we are getting paid exactly zero for sitting at our computers criticizing what we perceive to be flaws in their business plan.)

And you are commenting too many hate comments... Samsung gives consumers alternatives unlike your so loved Apple!

12. Mxyzptlk posted on 20 Nov 2012, 09:44 3 0

Apple isn't forcing you to buy anything from them. When you release so many products under a name you dilute your brand. I understand having a choice but too many choices is not always a good thing.

This is perhaps the only time I'll agree with this Mxy dude.

No one's forcing no one here...it's all about choice. That's what i'm pointing out...
But note this, some Apple lovers will definiten wish there was an alternate cheaper phone...which they can easily avail themselves with.

fandroids say al the time that we buy a device just because it has an Apple logo... is called brand recognition, brand trust. you cannot achieve that by saturating the market.. it cannot be done..
