How to recognize a retail Samsung Galaxy S II ? A samsung logo on the front

touness69 · Apr 7, 2011

New big move from Samsung ! After modifying the inside of the hardware with bumping the clock speed to 1.2Ghz, Samsung has now taken care of the outside :
A traditional Samsung logo on the front

Samsung has even updated all the photos of its microsite => Here and There
Well Nice photoshop indeed sammy eh

Personaly I still prefer the "old" one , its slick and minimalist design attracted me more. But hey, not that much of a modification btw the lack of this logo on the front was initially surprising.

I bet that this logo'ed version will be the retail version and that therefore it will be equiped with the final 1.2Ghz processor, that is pure logic from me I have no source

comments... go !

EDIT : LMFAO GSMArena just copied the title of my thread

I like Samsung's logo. And honestly, I was expecting it to be on there from the getgo.

I don't mind their logo but it looked so much prettier when it was blank!

Looks much better without it, but now along with this logo, there will also be another one for the carrier right? Samsung should put their foot down like Apple and tell the carrier to keep their logo off the phone haha.

Bah... it looked sweeter without the logo, but at least I won't get, " Is that an Iphone?"

So you can advertise to everyone and yourself when you're showing off you're phone.

From a business standpoint, this was a smart move. When you have a product people obviously like, you want to put your name on it wherever possible so everytime you see or use it, you can connect it with that company.

Why you all not like it? it look too empty at the front without any logo...

Because I personnally like the sober look better. It looks better without lots of logos all over the thing

U r right for showing it to others,but im not the classic serbian Iphone or nokia fan that the moment he/she sits somewhere in the club/bar/... puts his/her phone on table to show off.I like minimalistic sleek design so for that for me its better to have blank front like on prototypes(its better ot have x-files front than comercial logo banner front

).Even descret silver is ok,but totaly contrast drechy white is bad design imo.About connecting to company,i always know what im holding so that falls into water from my perspective,and if some1 need proof of company u always have samsung logo on the back

so front logo is too much showing of

PS-also meny people in serbia Samsung name connects to home appliances more then with good mobile phones
