@scoopyabcdefghi: No the entire Galaxy S series is not getting the ICS update........ a big booh to Samsung coz this model has the hardware to support ICS.
@karty002: No the latest info is that it is not even going to get the ICS lite..... If you follow me on G+ I mentioned about the same gave a link to the story.
@geekyranjit you have that bar on the homescreen with the RAM and battery info on it..how did you get this? Or is this an option...i'm getting this phone tomorrow, please reply. Thanks :)
@AkaTenshiPT: There is nothing like a best phone...... this is a good phone in it's price segment particularly if you like SAMOLED screen, also look for Samsung S2 or Note for other good phones..... I personally did not test the Xperia Arc S so cannot comment on the same.
@JakjeGebakje: The S Plus all the way...... but it's not fair to compare those 2 models as they are in a very different price segment the Wildfire S is a low mid-range phone which the Samsung S Plus is a entry level high end phone having SAMOLED screen faster processor etc.
Hey ranjit!!I have seen all your videos and they are awesome!!But i would like to ask you a question.I would like to buy this phone and i would really like to know that if there is a carrying case included in the sales package of this phone?I have seen in your other video that you have a filp case for the phone,did u get that case with the mobile or not??Thank You!!
@geekyranjit Hey ranjit!!I have seen all your videos and they are awesome!!But i would like to ask you a question.I would like to buy this phone and i would really like to know that if there is a carrying case included in the sales package of this phone?I have seen in your other video that you have a filp case for the phone,did u get that case with the mobile or not??Thank You!!
@GomezRule94: Galaxy W has not been yet launched here so did not get the opportunity to check that but from the specs point this S Plus looks better coz of the slightly bigger SAMOLED screen.
@6269MANZ Galaxy R does not have gorilla glass S according to specs have but i was easily able to get a minor sratch on tbe screen of s plus, so i would recommend a screen protector.
Hi Ranjit. This was a very helpful review thanks. Keeping games apart, which is a better phone galaxy s plus or galaxy r ? I am not into gaming , but will be using the phone for everything else and would like to know which one suits my need better ?
@karty002: The only big plus point of S Plus is the SAMOLED screen so if you watch a lot of videos on the phone that would be the tipping point for me.
@geekyranjit I think it must be there in the S-II as well...Did u find anyway to connect it directly to the Laptop useing WiFi? I have been racking my head over that one and i cant find the Keias Air to connect directly to WiFi on my lape and neither did i find any app for that...i
@KarthikSoun: Yes Galaxy S2 also has WiFi direct....... I could not test the WiFi direct coz you need both the devices that is transmitting and receiving to have WiFi direct functionality and sadly my laptop does not support WiFi direct.
@geekyranjit Did you find anyway to connect the Galaxy Plus to the Laptop wirelessly without router? There are programs like the Connectify but cant get them to detect my laptop..
@KarthikSoun: Nope I did not try...... using a router to connect over WiFi I am not using Kies using the Airdroid app like the interface much easier to work with youtube.com/watch?v=ZLxrrS-lqKg
Ranjit, could you compare IOS to Android Ice Cream Sandwich for us. Like pros and cons, cos I know hardware wise Android phones are better right now, but software is just as important as hardware in my opinion.
I've been using this phone for a month after a LOOONNNGGG excersice to see which one is good for me (prive vs quality and features) I'm very happy with it, at work, everyone tells me what a nice phone it is. lots of friends do have the iphone 4 and still compliment this phone. only one small problem is that when i'm typing in landscape i do tend to hit the full stop instead of the space and the message comes like a TELEX :)
@vivs005: I havenet reviewed the galaxy R so cannot comment much, but its a great buy as its a dual-core phone and is getting the Android 4.0 update, its just that instead of the SAMOLED screen it has the normal SLCD screen, overall Galaxy R looks like a great buy.
@geekyranjit That's the only biggest dilemma, on one side you have galaxy S+ with lovely SAMOLED screen with that chrome finish on edges, while galaxy R looks like the dirtier version of S2 with same specs. Actually I'm not a game freak, so I was looking for a phone with great display for video playback n web browsing. S+ and R cost nearly the same. Hmm don't know if I should wait or what.. Anyway thanks a lot for the reply!! :)
@Aamircoolzz: The sound quality I did not say is bad but it's just okay, I do test a lot of phones and when compared to them it's just average and I feel it could have been slightly better the best sound I have found are on Nokia phones and 2nd I would say HTC phones.
@siddufunnyguy: As I have mentioned in my earlier comments now even the galaxy R looks like a good phone though its a dual-core phone it uses the SLCD screen whereas the S plus use SAMOLED screen, Samsung has clearly mentioned about the Android 4.0 update for Galaxy R but they have not mentioned anything about S plus regarding Android 4.0 update though spec--wise this S plus can also run Android 4.0, I would say go to the shop have a look at both phones and then decide.
@pearleye72: Yep I know about the up-roar but Samsung have just said they are considering and evaluating about the upgrade for Samsung Galaxy S phones, unless there is an official announcement with exact model numbers I do not want to speculate.
can't decide whether to get the Samsung Galaxy S+ or the HTC Desire Z. Both phone are in my price range, both are great, and both have their their pros and cons. Any help would be more than appreciated :)
Hey there Ranjit! Hope ur doing fine..I am in love with this phone,leaving aside the battery life! It lasts only a day maximum :( I've tried everything possible to save energy, and came across this "JuiceDefender" Have you tried it? Or do you have any other application which will help with the battery life ? Btw, Season's greetings :)
@aakyviky: For most mobile batteries it take about 5-6 full charge / dis-charge cycles for the battery to get fully primed and then it will start giving you good results, I had used Juicedefender earlier and that too also helps a bit, but wait for a week and I am sure the battery life will increase.
Also if you do not use 3G often move the phone from WCDMA to GSM only that saves about 30% battery life.
@geekyranjit appreciate your help Ranjit...I did notice a s light increase in battery life with Juice defender and I switch off wifi completely when not in use..WIll try switching to GSM and see what happens. Thanks again..
worst smartphone i ever had, it has restarting problem restarts 3-5 times a day,i flashed it but still it keeps on restarting instead go for S2.........
@SmileyGotYourBack: The price is comparable to what we have here in India for an un-locked phone so cannot comment much no price, but Samsung has just spelled the beans that the Galaxy S will not get the ice-cream sandwich update aka Android 4.0 no mention about S plus but I doubt it will get it, also check Samsung Galaxy R budget dual-core phone will get Android 4.0 update but no SAMOLED or gorilla glass.
@geekyranjit Hey man I am thinking to buy galaxy R..But i am confused because of No gorrilla galss display..But in Gmsarena it says it has Scratch resistant display!
@aayush111112: I cannot comment much about Galaxy R as I haven't personally tested it but it looks good Dual-core and now Samsung has promised the Android 4.0 aka ice-cream sandwich update for the same, for the screen I would suggest just get a screen protector and that should do the job.
Hey Ranjit! Was thinking getting an S Plus, but what does it have that the Samsung S Doesn't? All that i've seen is that its been upgraded to 1,5 GHz capacity.
@stevedavedude: I did not try google voice but that should work as you can download it from android market but on the other hand the Vlingo assistant is not pre-installed on this phone by Samsung the Vlingo assistant comes with Galaxy Note not Galaxy S Plus.
@kula3010: Yep S2 is a great phone but if you are getting it from the US just be careful coz there are quite a few different version of the S2 in US the CDMA version, 4G etc you need the unlocked GSM version that will work in India.
@geekyranjit, hey as galaxy r's price is go down to rs.20990 so tell me if it will be a good buy ..... Awaiting for ur answer....... Thanks in advance.....
@amar1548: Yep Galaxy R is also a good phone and the good news is that Samsung has confirmed that it will get the ICS update, the Galaxy R though does not have Gorilla glass or the SAMOLED screen but for a dual core phone on a budget it looks good.
@vick6789: I cannot make a decision for u all the phone are good in their respect each one has their +ve and -ve so check them all decide for yourself.
@vick6789: No idea I never had to use the after sales of Sony or Samsung for mobiles in recent times.... I do not know if it's relevant but about 6 years ago I broke a screen of a high end Sony phone and they replaced it after 1 week.
I'm stuck with the Samsung Galaxy S Plus and the HTC Desire S. I want the LED Flash but I don't want the 3.7 inch and want a 4.0 like the SSplus but I don't want the slow 512 MB ram and want the 768MB instead. I don't want the smaller battery on the HTC and want a bigger one like the SSplus. I really want the Sense 3.0 like in the HTC but not the touch wiz on the SSplus. Please reply ASAP.
@FR150N: You cannot get the phone you have in mind but Have a look at HTC Incredible S but still it does not have SAMOLED screen only Samsung phones has that and the big issues is that most of the HTC phones come with low capacity battery for the size.
Hello Ranjit.. Your video was very helpful.. I am confused with buying a HTC Desire S and Samsung Galaxy S Plus.. Please post a video comparing the two! Thanks :)
great video. i have ordered this phone today, i will receive it in about 3-7 days. I will watch the video once i hae the phone on my hands. one question: i have rode that the baterry lasts a 24% more than in the galaxy s. is that true? thanks. congratulations from the basque country
@filipondio3: Cannot comment on exactly in % terms how much long the batter last compared to the Galaxy S but sure it does last a bit longer and compared to other Android phones in the range it's pretty good.
Hi Ranjit, Very good review and thanks a lot. Jusst wanted to know whether "SKYPE" video calls work on this phone. Suppose I need to call a SKYPE ID(video call) will it work smoothly with a WIFI connection?
@Adarsh123454321: If you are willing to wait 4-5 months they wait coz S3 should launch by then, else if in a hurry the S2 is also a great phone and Samsung has promised the ICS aka Android 4.0 update for even S2.
@Adarsh123454321: Sorry dude might not be able to do the same coz I do not think coz I am not planing to buy that phone and I doubt I might be able to get a review unit for the same, but one of my close friend has purchased the same and according to me its a great phone with decent battery life and there is not lag or anything like that.
@giargiAU79: Samsung has not announced anything yet about ICS upgrade for this model, so no idea if it will get it....... I am not into ROM's so cannot comment much about MIUI rom.
Best review i have ever seen. Most of the reviewers tell vs only the pros of the phone. Its not the case hear. I was just going to buy this phone. Now........... I wanted a better call quality. 3 hours for charging.......that a lot. @geekyranjit please suggest of a overall good android phone under 20000. Please. Waiting for your reply.
@Adarsh123454321: Have a look at Sony Xperia Neo V also the LG Optimus 2X is going for around 20K the stock LG UI is not that good but it is dual-core phone so if you know how root and to load other ROM its a great phone.
hi ther,, juz wana bout the security system for the memory card... how do we set it??? as for the phone memo we have the locks,, n for external memory card??
Hi Ranjit, this was an excellent video. I am buying this phone and found it very helpful. Need your word on two aspects. (1)The specs say it has tv out port. So is it possible to connect the phone to lcd tv for media content ? (2) How is the GPS on this phone ? The original galaxy s had many gps issues. Is that sorted out with galaxy plus ?
@karty002: I did not check the TV out port coz there is just one mini USB port on the phone I guess you need that special cable mini usb to HDMI for it to work and I did not have that to test, for GPS it did lock in a normal time but I did not do any navigation while traveling in the car so cannot comment much on that.
@geekyranjit : Thanks for reply Ranjit. No we dont need mini usb port for it. It connects with 3.5mm jack to RCA tv out cable. There is a video for the same in youtube for Galaxy s. Want to confirm for Galaxy s plus. Is it possible for you to check any time soon ?
Ranjit, could you please tell me what my S Plus's problem is? Okay, here it is; when the battery is low, it kinda lights up on its own (lights up = shows the locked screen), and then when it's recharged, the same thing occurs, it still lights up and it'll stop if I restart the phone. Is it just telling me to get it recharged? If so, then why does it keep lighting up, showing the locked screen after it's been recharged? Please reply.
@Rockeymaru: I have had this issue but I never let my phones go below 10% and while charging it is never lit up like you are experiencing...... may be its completely discharged hence its lit up for a while when you charge the same, if anyone experience the same please share.
If this behavior also happens when u charge it normally lets say battery is around 25% and charge it then something is wrong with your phone get is checked.
hi Ranjit...ur review was indeed in- depth n very helpful :) ......m really considering buying it.......jst wanted 2 know whether this phone n its screen is a scratch n dust magnet???.....the back cover is so glossy its looks prone 2 scratches........also, is samsung goin 2 provide an upgrade to Android 4.0 in the near future???......n hows the performance of live streaming on 2g network???.......................waitin 4 ur reply :)
@MrRishiz: The screen is gorilla glass but I suggest adding a screen guard just to be on the safe side, Samsung has not mentioned anything about Android 4.0 update for any of their single core phones as of now.
I did not try streaming on 2G, I am using the BSNL SIM and the speeds on that are pathetic... no the problem of the phone but BSNL I am testing the Galaxy Note and get the same results, streaming via Wifi works great without issues.

@aakyviky: For most mobile batteries it take about 5-6 full charge / dis-charge cycles for the battery to get fully primed and then it will start giving you good results, I had used Juicedefender earlier and that too also helps a bit, but wait for a week and I am sure the battery life will increase.
Also if you do not use 3G often move the phone from WCDMA to GSM only that saves about 30% battery life.

@geekyranjit appreciate your help Ranjit...I did notice a s light increase in battery life with Juice defender and I switch off wifi completely when not in use..WIll try switching to GSM and see what happens. Thanks again..

@geekyranjit hi there ranjit ! im thinking of getting this phone but i don't know if this price is good in ireland
in the shop it is 349euro
SmileyGotYourBack 2 months ago
@SmileyGotYourBack: The price is comparable to what we have here in India for an un-locked phone so cannot comment much no price, but Samsung has just spelled the beans that the Galaxy S will not get the ice-cream sandwich update aka Android 4.0 no mention about S plus but I doubt it will get it, also check Samsung Galaxy R budget dual-core phone will get Android 4.0 update but no SAMOLED or gorilla glass.

@geekyranjit Hey man I am thinking to buy galaxy R..But i am confused because of No gorrilla galss display..But in Gmsarena it says it has Scratch resistant display!
aayush111112 2 months ago
@aayush111112: I cannot comment much about Galaxy R as I haven't personally tested it but it looks good Dual-core and now Samsung has promised the Android 4.0 aka ice-cream sandwich update for the same, for the screen I would suggest just get a screen protector and that should do the job.

@stevedavedude: I did not try google voice but that should work as you can download it from android market but on the other hand the Vlingo assistant is not pre-installed on this phone by Samsung the Vlingo assistant comes with Galaxy Note not Galaxy S Plus.

I have a small question or maybe a request.
Please tell me which phone to get.
I'm stuck with the Samsung Galaxy S Plus and the HTC Desire S. I want the LED Flash but I don't want the 3.7 inch and want a 4.0 like the SSplus but I don't want the slow 512 MB ram and want the 768MB instead. I don't want the smaller battery on the HTC and want a bigger one like the SSplus. I really want the Sense 3.0 like in the HTC but not the touch wiz on the SSplus. Please reply ASAP.
Thank you
Anthony Frison.

@FR150N: You cannot get the phone you have in mind but Have a look at HTC Incredible S but still it does not have SAMOLED screen only Samsung phones has that and the big issues is that most of the HTC phones come with low capacity battery for the size.

Dear @Ranjit. Opinion on samsung galaxy s2. Should i buy it or wait for s3. I can wait 4 to 5 months. If it gets launched within that period of time.
Adarsh123454321 2 months ago
@Adarsh123454321: If you are willing to wait 4-5 months they wait coz S3 should launch by then, else if in a hurry the S2 is also a great phone and Samsung has promised the ICS aka Android 4.0 update for even S2.

Best review i have ever seen. Most of the reviewers tell vs only the pros of the phone. Its not the case hear. I was just going to buy this phone. Now........... I wanted a better call quality. 3 hours for charging.......that a lot. @geekyranjit please suggest of a overall good android phone under 20000. Please. Waiting for your reply.
Adarsh123454321 2 months ago
@Adarsh123454321: Have a look at Sony Xperia Neo V also the LG Optimus 2X is going for around 20K the stock LG UI is not that good but it is dual-core phone so if you know how root and to load other ROM its a great phone.

Hi Ranjit, this was an excellent video. I am buying this phone and found it very helpful. Need your word on two aspects. (1)The specs say it has tv out port. So is it possible to connect the phone to lcd tv for media content ? (2) How is the GPS on this phone ? The original galaxy s had many gps issues. Is that sorted out with galaxy plus ?
karty002 2 months ago
@karty002: I did not check the TV out port coz there is just one mini USB port on the phone I guess you need that special cable mini usb to HDMI for it to work and I did not have that to test, for GPS it did lock in a normal time but I did not do any navigation while traveling in the car so cannot comment much on that.
geekyranjit 2 months ago
@geekyranjit : Thanks for reply Ranjit. No we dont need mini usb port for it. It connects with 3.5mm jack to RCA tv out cable. There is a video for the same in youtube for Galaxy s. Want to confirm for Galaxy s plus. Is it possible for you to check any time soon ?
karty002 2 months ago
Ranjit, could you please tell me what my S Plus's problem is? Okay, here it is; when the battery is low, it kinda lights up on its own (lights up = shows the locked screen), and then when it's recharged, the same thing occurs, it still lights up and it'll stop if I restart the phone. Is it just telling me to get it recharged? If so, then why does it keep lighting up, showing the locked screen after it's been recharged? Please reply.
Rockeymaru 2 months ago
@Rockeymaru: I have had this issue but I never let my phones go below 10% and while charging it is never lit up like you are experiencing...... may be its completely discharged hence its lit up for a while when you charge the same, if anyone experience the same please share.
If this behavior also happens when u charge it normally lets say battery is around 25% and charge it then something is wrong with your phone get is checked.

MrRishiz 2 months ago
@MrRishiz: The screen is gorilla glass but I suggest adding a screen guard just to be on the safe side, Samsung has not mentioned anything about Android 4.0 update for any of their single core phones as of now.
I did not try streaming on 2G, I am using the BSNL SIM and the speeds on that are pathetic... no the problem of the phone but BSNL I am testing the Galaxy Note and get the same results, streaming via Wifi works great without issues.
