Many of you, may have got I9100G, recently, as it is the new
stock available. Samsung is trying to replace the original SII,
i.e. I9100 with I9100G, in the markets of INDIA, MALAYSIA &
SINGAPORE.
This is to fulfill the demands of GALAXY SII, which has
increased vastly. So, to fulfill the demand, before it dies out,
SAMSUNG has quietly slipped I9100G version, which has PowerVR TI
OMAP 4430 processor, and not the Exynos 4210.
So, what i have researched and found out is that, it is better,
if you can get an I9100, before it extincts, instead of getting
stuck with "G".
By no means, i am saying that, I9100G, is bad, what i am trying
to say here is that, its not as good as I9100's Exynos.
Some major differences which i found out are:-
1. Galaxy SII I9100 will be the first in the GALAXY family, to
get an ICS update.
2. Exynos processors still have huge RAW power.
3. The isuue is GPU used in I9100G has PowerVR540 TI OMAP 4430,
at 300 MHz,which is single core and weak, compared to MALI400MP+,
which is quadcore inside Exynos.
******I am talking about GPU, and not single or dual core
CPU******
4. Regarding future updates, I9100G users may be isolated, as
I9100G is not replacing original I9100 in EU, and so many other
countries.
5. Also, the development support for I9100, is much much much
greater than I9100G. As majority of the community still uses
I9100.
6. The overheating problem is very less in I9100G, as compared
to I9100.
7. Battery, too performs well in I9100G.
8. But, both overheating, and battery improvement, doesn't comes
without cost. I9100G doesn't gets overheated, because its cpu is
clocked max at 1.008 Ghz, unlike 1.2Ghz in I9100. Same, helps with
improved battery.
