@survivorevil What are you talking about LOL. As far as I know, flash for ICS had already been released.

[survivorevil]

what version is that phone i mean for what region? I have a galaxy s2 and mine doesnt have that bouncing thing on the browser

[motley0crue12]

@survivorevil mine used to, but after the latest firmware they got rid of it for some reason, stupid fools.

[MsMazor]

@samjpullen hi man i am planning to get iphone 4s or sgs2 please tell me how much defirent between 4s and s2 internet speed sorry for eng

[cauda123]

[IRoNaLdoCR7]

i dont have to press on the flash stuff. it shows me automaticly ??? can i change that so it is like on yours?

[TheSmartPresenter004]

@IRoNaLdoCR7 Yes, just open the Browser and then open Settings in the browser. Go to the "Enable plug-ins" and select "On demand".

[soleil3gs]

@samjpullen none taken, I ran test with friends who have the international galaxy s 2 against mine with the snapdragon S3, as far as Internet browser goes mine was faster. Not by much maybe a sec or 2 but it was.

[soleil3gs]

I have the tmobile galaxy s 2 using the snapdragon s3 processor and the web browser is actually a little bit faster than the original galaxy s2

[samjpullen]

@soleil3gs You will find its slower, no offense :) the Exynos and Mali CPU & GPU are above anything Qualcomm offer

[adilgangsta1]

@samjpullen the difference between the two is that qualcomm allows download speeds up 42 mbps and the malil-400 does not. But malil-400 performs better than qualcomm when it comes to gpu.

[samjpullen]

@adilgangsta1 And where have you seen anyone getting 42mbps out in the wild ?, Exynos out performs anything Qualcomm can offer at the moment.

[adilgangsta1]

@samjpullen The t-mobile branded galaxy s2 which has a qualcomm chipset has a MDM8220 modem, which would allow the Galaxy S2 to run on T-Mobile's 42Mbps HSPA+ network

[bambebom]

@samjpullen please answer me .. why i can't find internet icon on my sgs2 ????? i can't find it in the home screen and not in the "applications" ????

[shinzomoon]

I get the yellow screen tint defect on the left of the screen, ruined an otherwise brilliant phone.. Well that and the WIFI receiver being weak. Real shame. Supposed to be visible in many handsets to varying degrees. Not noticable really unless you know what you're looking for.

[TheParolification]

A weird question now : Can you watch anime on Galaxy S2?

[Tiangisbarato]

Pretty nice watching this in my S2 browser :P

[thefowlyetti2]

Cant wait for the S3... Its going to be insane!

[rlouis215]

Right now this is the phone to get

[smartydix]

Try new Opera Mobile, please...

[dean2663]

Why does he like when it bounces? I find it very annoying.

[samjpullen]

@dean2663 Because i do :), I think it looks cool.

[RubyReapz]

@samjpullen It basically tells you its the end of the page:)! otherwise you might think it hasnt loaded and get even more scooby doo

[JustinBoodram1]

@samjpullen hey i inboxed u please look for my message...its important..i really need some advice...thanks soo much if u do.

[Mikeyduncan15]

can anyone help? see when your watching a video on youtube on the S2 does it have a light thick line down the middle of the screen?? mine does. message me back on my account samjpullen please.

[jnnngstyn]

Question I have the Evo 4g from sprint um I am do for an up grade now what should I do should I go for the galaxy s2 or keep the evo 4g please help me decided

[VanillaCracker]

Sam likes the bounce back :P

[justinschuurbiers]

Question (blame me if I didn't see it on your video), is it possible to double click and zoom in the browser, like in Safari on the iPhone?

[vancitypuff]

@justinschuurbiers yes

[Mikeyduncan15]

mine isnt that bright.

[iLifeguy]

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaay accent. It's not flush, it's flash.

[sale666]

Does it still lag? it seems like it theres no iphone like equal out yet i hate the delay when you pinch or so id clock that cpu just not to lagg im searching for an iphone replacement on android that doesnt lagg any suggestions?

[vancitypuff]

@sale666 lol wut

[sale666]

@vancitypuff

ermmm -> is there any phone on android that is smooth as the iphone in terms of responsivnes -> screen jerkyness or a few milisecond delay that goes on my nerves to be specific!

[vancitypuff]

@sale666 wouldn't want to "go" on your nerves lol... its called hardware acceleration... and yes the galaxy s2 has it.

[midnightbangkok]

2:30 ... My butt :D

[JacobWeihrauch]

@chonaV - I've been an avid iPhone user since it's debut in 2007 and I've now started to look at this phone. With the recent news that Apple's iPhone 5 will only go to Sprint and not AT&T (my carrier) this phone looks even more appealing. If it's battery life you are worried about, get an extra one.

[chonaV]

Seems to be a good phone, but I don't know. I've read several negative stories about its battery life, overheating, and connectivity issues. I would hate to give up my iphone for a frustrating device. This one has a lot of mix reviews.

[gianisgood]

hi Sam, I'm planning to buy this phone by next week..I made some research about the flaws of this device, can you give me some comment about its wifi and the battery life and also for the over heating issue..other people have all the drama blah blah blah...I would really appreciate your comment about those issues coz i know you have the answers coz you do very good reviews about this phone.cheers mate!:)

[jrhager84]

Cheers, this look like an awesome phone. I'm actually buying as soon as it launches for AT&T stateside. Why can't it just be now!?!?

[vangu901]

hi there joseph....1 big question...shld i buy this phone now...or wait for the iphone 5 ????????????

[xpiokoxa]

How do you make the video continue to play when you switch tabs?

[paxonna]

How can I close the browser ??? I know that I can open the task managment and close all the active apps ... but is there an other waay? thanks

[franscartoons]

@samjpullen How do you enable text reflow on zoom?

[shinzomoon]

People said the signal strength is great with this phone, so i expected a lot.. only to be disapointed that it is just average. Wifi drops a lot too, might be optimised for newer routers but..

[Pruedence007]

hey sam, you know how in this video how you tilted the phone and it went landscape, can you do that in other parts of the phone as well, like can you make it go landscape while texting aswell? i hate texting in portrait. (:

[cratos828]

hey sam how u doin? well after seeing ur many videos i finally bought this phone, thnx to ur reviews, ive got 2 questions nw 1st how do i increase the time of my lock screen? 2nd is it safe to download apps frm samsung apps? it says for security reasons its blocked not obtained from android market?? shld i allow it? need help, thnx in advance??

[faiz434]

Another question in my phone when I view youtube videos in the browser it will say "not optimized for mobile" while your's didn't. Why is that so?

[faiz434]

My phone is faulty. When I watch youtube videos in the browser, the audio would be out of sync and the video will have little flicker in the background, black lines that appear and move up and down, since I upgrade flash player to 10.3. Do anyone have the same problem as me?

[aboda02]

This is a brilliant phone,.. but there is alot of good phones out there,.i want to get a new phone but i am really confused which one to get, my favourite are these three, HTC sensation, Blackberry bold 9900, and samsung galaxy s2. which of these would you recommend?

[nadimac1]

me or are feeling a little lag in the browser? I have the phone and so far was not having problems, but this day I have noticed a lag in the explorer, but when you activate any flash video. shall be at the demands of apple? if so, as a user I have to say I feel cheated, and it seems unfair that samsung do an update on the phone without user consent. for all users someone else feels this change?

[ZR1Terror]

I want this phone so bad but in white, when is it coming AT&T???

[randykeith16]

Great vid..for all you apple fanboys even before the iphone 5 gets launched nexus prime will be launched..so keep dreaming..!

[Masson1903]

i like the review but seriously STOP GOING FROM TOP TO BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN AT EVERY POSSIBLE SECOND!

[hqmcsmm]

Hi, can Samsung Galaxy S2 support Java like logging into java encrypted website? Thanks.

[15heartz]

deos veoh player works

[LazyLeem]

CTFxC FTW !

[KeKeKeilan]

The funny part is that the iphone 4 is shit and when the iphone 5 comes out, this phone is still gonna be able to shit on it.

[brackpersian]

i have a question, while viewing the youtube in desktop view (using raw power) , does it lag even a bit?

[MarkRob1984]

can u load the desktop web pages by defult?????????

[MsLiliana2010]

you are great!!!thanks so much for vids =). can you maybe make a vid about the best apps?

[ryda4life415]

if u do a video when the browser on 3g/4g is on ill think about it because my phone goes the same speed on wifi and its the htc inspire.

[ryda4life415]

dam i wish this phone came to at&t i would buy for my next upgrade, its instant, good quality, and also the famous screen picture

[icedragon2812]

@ryda4life415 It is coming to AT&T.

[ryda4life415]

@icedragon2812 the exact one or a more updated galaxy s?

[icedragon2812]

@ryda4life415 I think it has 4 capacitive buttons on the bottom instead of the big button in the middle, but thats it. Everything else is the same. Its coming sometime this Fall, maybe end of August if we're lucky.

[ronandaj]

Wow, this is totally amazing! Whenever you try to play online flash videos, do you have the ability to make it full screen just like on desktops by clicking the full screen button? Thanks!

[XxXxXNotoriousXxXxX]

i was wondering whether your phone heats up? When i watch online video and run apps, my phone gets really warm. I'm wondering whether theres a problem with my s2

[HGEMAIL]

You can change the browser settings for flash I switch the settings from on-demand to always on so flash is playing all the time also change the user agent to desktop mode so all sites open in desktop mode

[saifisgone]

how do you choose whether to enable flash or not

[ichigokurosaki0007]

I cant watch any video on youtube.

[MrAndyMan1993]

Do flash games work, like on miniclip if there any games that require movements of the mouse?

[cynthiacocconutt]

Can it record a phone conversation & can you show us how its done ? thanks

[Mikeyduncan15]

sam how do i get to record full HD? MESSAGE ME BACK ON MY ACCOUNT

[TheGuilanvi]

the keyboard is quite problematic isnt it? I own S2 too. and I often oops alot!

[talk2malawyer]

How do you turn the screen on the galaxys2? Can't seem to do it with photos either anyhelp?

[raydn23]

jailbroken iphone 4 >> all

[mortal1ty]

How's the performance of playing youtube in 720, 1080, as well as playing HD in other flash web players such as Vimeo

[lucifer7591]

Hi Sam Ray again from Australia.Very nice video on the Google web browser.LOL I could not find the book marks tab until I watched your video LOL.Thanks again mate.To add Sam I also did the firmware update for the galaxy s2.I got the firmware update from the Samsung apps store it installs quiet well.So there is no need to use Kies.Thanks again Sam ::))

[throxnet]

@karrykap human centipede

[devfuse]

@karrykap awww my head hurts after reading that

[ROLLKlCK]

@karrykap xbizit joke

[SrTb0y05]

where did all the white stuff on my desk come from??

[Fantic1980]

You just sold this phone to me mate, thanks very much indeed. Exactly what I was looking for.

[ELLELL99]

Getting this phone on Friday with T-mobile for £30 a month which got me 500 texts, 600 minutes and Truely unlimited internet. Can't wait to get it now, im gonna be surfing the web all day ^_^

[drjeromefoster]

Just bought this today on amazon (before that Apple suit gets through - can't wait to get it! Nice review of the browser - haven't seen any that highlighted that multitasking aspect yet!

[MrrMazee]

this is quicker than google chrome on my computer?!

[anijin]

hi, i just got the phone a few days , one thing is for sure it is the best looking phone out right now.

but.. there is a major issue at least for me. the phone overheats (ALOT!) in just a few minutes of running a simple little game or playing videos.

yesterday it basically died while playing a video, got flickering display, so had to shut it down. and had trouble starting it up. and then did not allow it to be charged due to overheating.

so question is, have you had this problem??

[ELLELL99]

@anijin It could be an issue with just your device. In alot of phone shops they have Samsung Galaxy S2's running all day without fault so maby there is something wrong with yours =/

[Huzayfa95]

thanks, im really interested in getting this, would you recommend this or the iphone

[ehwang1126]

@samjpullen hey, loving all the videos. can you review the music player? is it as good as the iphone and would it be able to replace my ipod touch?

thanks a lot!

[theguym]

How can you disable flash in the browser?

[UnScriptedFlix]

With the motorola bionic on it's way, do you feel that the galaxy s2 is a better choice for us who are with Verizon?

[SWEvlogger]

I'm getting this.

[brother731]

omg this phone is amazing i cant wait to get this

[TheCornerOfMusic]

Oh God... I just ordered my SGS2 :D

Cant wait till its here :D

[mrmolez1]

lol... the iphone 4 is a year old now.. the new iphone is out next month..... bet you feel real stupid now for listening to your dumbass friends..

the iphone 5 is going to be much better than the galaxy s2..

[anakkucluk]

@mrmolez1 Next month? I guess it will be 2 months later.

The nexus prime is going to be much better than the iphone 5.

Btw, stop doing fantasies. Comparing phones that are not existed yet is silly.

[moewwe54]

@anakkucluk What? How can you tell him to stop doing fantasies and to stop comparing phones that don't exist when you just said the Nexus Prime is going to be better than the iPhone 5, two phones that don't exist? -_-

[ROLLKlCK]

@mrmolez1 It doesn't matter when the phone came out, it matters what are the features it has.

Also, iPhone 5 may be a little better than the 4G, who told you it will be better? Do you work for Apple or something?

[COMEtheFUCKatMEbro]

Couple of thing:

First off, great review!

- can you fullscreen flash?

- how's the copy and paste?

- big one for me from original galaxy s is how's the battery life??

[BlazeKenny]

So is this a good phone for redtube online ? =D

[Douchesos]

Can it play or stream videos beside youtube like streaming anime or movies on any website?

[samjpullen]

@Douchesos Any flash :)

[ba3cool]

@samjpullen Is there any way of forcing it to open up pages in 'desktop mode'

[terryfink]

One question I have is when you the engadget video was playing what would have happened if you had clicked on the full screen button like on a youtube video?

[ba3cool]

@terryfink It would maximise the video in landscape mode and auto-hide the control bar after a few seconds.

[21centurynostradamus]

@samjpullen how is this playing you tube vids?? also can you go full screen ??

[MashUpsable]

@Douchesos You mean like red tube, etc? Yes it can :)

[johaugum]

0/10 - Horrible accent

[superbcool10]

is there an option to automatically allow flash and not tap on it everytime ?? and thnx for all ur galaxy s2 videos.. i really liked them..

[samjpullen]

@superbcool10 Yes you can have it on auto if you like :) or off completely :)

[dr34m3r2k]

full screen flash?

[camaromanss27]

@wafcarI stop trolling vids bro, shit

[NeutralGenericUser]

Why didn't you fullscreen the flash videos??? The whole point of being able to play them is so that you can watch, not point while they play in thumbnail sizes! :(

Please make another video specifically about fullscreen flash videos (in 720P if possible) and maybe tell us what battery life is like after playing flash videos on youtube or w/e in 720? Thanks!

[MrDonnie54]

quess I don't need my pc anymore

[Alibalibee722]

Anyone know how to access your favorites through the browser? I notice in sam's video he's got the star next to the search bar. All I get is the voice control icon. Very annoying on an otherwise brilliant piece of kit.

[athulrajts]

if dont hav a samsung galaxy s2 you dont get the incredibly high brightness super amoled display

that makes movies this dramatic

strokes this exquisive

memories this memorable

gaming a pleasure

emails this detail

text this crisp

yup if you dont have a galaxy s2 you dont have a galaxy s2

[jezebela132rockzaa1]

this looks way better then the iphone i want this really bad. how much is the contract monthly ?

[CragScrambler]

Mine had really bad checkerboarding so sent it for replacement also the homescreen lagged badly

[rickylie92]

I WANT SAMSUNG GALAXY S2  SO BAD :( ....WHERE I CAN BUY IT IN INDONESIA????

[tylerhoell]

3:01 checkerboard? god wth?

[tylerhoell]

It looks so freakin' fast.. amazing.. and haha, a screen that is to bright for a camera.. so beast

[johnnomonster]

You;ve got the swype keyboard running, you can swype on it. Try it? ;)

i am so jealous
