Samsung Galaxy S II shows its raw power,Flash in browser performance test

android_master · Apr 7, 2011

Naturally, being the replacement for the well-known Samsung i9000 Galaxy S, the Galaxy S II has to fit the very large shoes of its predecessor. And judging by the initial impressions from quickly playing around with the device – it does pretty well. The user interface is ridiculously snappy and the phone, despite its mammoth size, feels alive and light.

And just to give you a taste of what kind of performance we are talking about, we’ve prepared a short video of the Galaxy S II playing a 720p HD YouTube video straight within the stock Android browser.

Most people don't know it, but 720p youtube videos play fine on my SGS with 2.3.3 as long as I don't use the flash player from the market. The SGS II is going to be on another level I'm sure, but 720p flash files are already conquered.

Then how do you play them ?

Kailkti · Apr 7, 2011

It comes with a pre installed flash player. Which i suppose, like the atrix's own, is optimized specifically for the galaxy s.
I have a captivate right now, and it's running 2.2, and whilst it can play 720p youtube videos, they are choppy, so not much use. More than likely however, it will be able to play it more smoothly when a T&t rolls out the gingerbread update for it. If they ever plan to. =.=

No you don't understand there is a trick to play 720p flash videos butterly smooth (even Underclocked at 800Mhz btw) on a Galaxy S running froyo or up, he was not talking bout playing it straight within the browser. I just asked him to figure out if he really know this trick or not

tip : UA

There's no trick they play fine without setting anything up.

It largely depends on the bit rate of the video. I could make a video that has a resolution of 480X272 that even the SGS II could not play. Bit rate is...not everything, but most things, with video.

Also, it sounds more like you're viewing the HTML 5 version of it than the Flash version, but IDK.

I was going to wait for the G2x. IDK now. Is this coming to t-mobile?

Simply put - yes.

Not using the flash version from the market. Both HD videos from gametrailers and 720p videos from gsmarena play fine.

EDIT: It's actually running the 10.1 version of the flash player

Kailkti · Apr 8, 2011

@ tou
There is stutter for 480p videos. But It is only present at the start, due to the loading and I guess the cpu getting ready. After the start, it plays like any other flash video.

Yes the G2X is for TMobile although the specs of the SGS II surpass any device announced to date.
