Now that u have edited the comparison of Galaxy R with Optimus 2X by including the fact that it can play FullHD, please do the same in the review too...

man this phone is a dream. this ULP Tegra2 can run demanding games without cuts.

seen that Galaxy sII phone in game tests not those useless benchmarks and man, on paper it looks good, but in real life, sometimes it cuts. Tegra 2 behaved as expected from a nNidia product.

Whats the use of this review. GSMarena.com is so late with this full review. This model has been discontinued and is not available anywhere in Mumbai.

In response to query by "k!"

This phone is only available in one colour - and that is metallic grey. Sites that mention "black" as it's colour are just not being accurate :)

You forgot an important bit in the review: IT's GETTING AN UPDATE TO ICE CREAM SANDWICH!!!

Great phone, I've owned it for about two months now. Dual core and tegra 2 lets you play high res games and cam quality is great! Latest version of Droid gingerbread + IT's GETTING AN UPDATE TO ICE CREAM SANDWICH!

I bought it off Sulekha website and got it for about Rs. 11,000 cheaper than the S II (which is about €140 or $200 when converted). The S-II sells for Rs.30 K and this phone cost me Rs.19 K with a good deal.

Moreover, the S-plus is costlier than this phone in India. Sensation XL is almost as pricey as the S II so buying this phone was a no brainer!

Considering this phone is like a little brother to the S-II, you couldn't ask for more!

Why is it that all these latest phones released by Samsung always so identical!

Firstly thanks for a very nice review GSM Arena. :-)

Secondly please correct some details in your video recording review part. The front camera does record video in the 'Self Recording' mode albeit at a lower but sufficient for video calls resolution.

Thirdly you did not mention all the features of Galaxy R as in the case of S2, show some love for this phone too. :-P
For e.g. You completely forgot to even mention about 'Samsungdive.com' remote tracking & data wipe capability.
