Galaxy S II modified: the response of Samsung

For Samsung, the modification of the model the Galaxy S II for another processor does not on its performance.

Our colleagues from the digital received a response from Samsung on the matter of the Galaxy S II modified. Indeed, the GS II is now sold commercially with a different CPU (Ti OMAP 4430 dual core 1.2 GHz with PowerVR SGX540 graphics circuit) than that fitted to the original models (Samsung Exynos 4210 dual core 1.2 GHz with Mali 400 MP graphics circuit).

For the South Korean firm, this change has no impact on the performance of its smartphone features, a French Head of the specific brand elsewhere: "performance, tested by our engineers in Korea, are quite similar between the two references". It also adds that this change in the processor to another is due to the very strong demand for Galaxy S II, given the success of this model.

Our colleagues will therefore carry out a test of two models to verify if actually this change of processor does not change the qualities of this Androphone, especially at the level of the graphical circuit, because it is this point which seems the most important especially for the update to Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich that takes part of the hardware accelerationnot to mention the performance side video games.
