Samsung Galaxy R Preview
0. phoneArena posted on 25 Jul 2011, 09:34
The Samsung Galaxy R is the first handset to walk in the shoes of the Samsung Galaxy S II. A slightly stripped down version of Samsung's flagship, it wears similar looks, packs an equally powerful core and only downgrades the camera…

Actually that may not be such a bad thing since it looks better than the original SGSII. I know the specs are a little bit watered down and lackluster compared to it but you have to keep in mind that most people who by cell phones are idiots because they have no idea what they are buying. They only want it because of the design or because no one else has it.

Smaller display, not super amoled plus, only 5 megapixel camera that can only shoot 720 video, and worse of all a much slower processor.
No I don't think this is "not such a bad thing". Let's hope its just a cheaper version for other countries.

I think it may be cheaper. But knowing Samsung, they will day that its premium build would be a reason to price it more. While it is still a great handset, the differences only drastically change in the camera department. I'm a country kid from Southwestern Georgia where Alltel still operates. lol I would be happy with either handsets.

as if u can distinguish who's the fastest when both of them are already the fastest... we know in benchmarks... exynos wins... but in gaming it is tegra which is better... but in real life... no significant changes will be noticeable among the 2. if exynos can move mountains... sure tegra 2 can. if exynos can move mountains... tegra 3 can move oceans.

For the display, I use Galaxy Player which has Super Clear LCD. I believe although the device is only 4" I think the Super Clear LCD is better compared to AMOLED displays (I use Amoled, Amoled +, Super Amoled and Super Amoled+) Adding on, 1ghz dual core is actually good to use.

Can you tell me what's the kernel version displayed in the Settings->Info menu?
Thanks.

3500+ score on the Q benchmark as a "pretty good score"? That's an understatement of the year.
My Dual core Droid 3 can get a max of 2500. That is a REALLY good score.

Whos gonna take this over the original? I'd rather pay 50 bucks more and get the real deal, wouldnt you?

It really wouldn't matter. Both phones are good but just for two slightly different demographics.

Since I got my iPad 2 I did not download any app from Android Market on my Galaxy S. So now I'm not looking for a better smartphone. I can say that the iPad 2 killed Samsung Galaxy S II or any high performance phone for me:). Why play on a 4-4.3 inch phone screen, when you can play on a 9.7 inch screen? I might be looking for a batter table though in the future:).

You're comparing a tablet with a smartphone? It's the same as saying, why play on a psp when you can play on a ps3. It just doesn't make any sense at all! Try fitting your (overpriced) iPad 2 in your pocket.
