Default [Q] Thinking of getting a white SGS2...

Hi guys,

I'm a current iphone 4 owner who's thinking of getting the SGS2. I've heard a lot of good things about the phone and would like to try Android and love the big screen on this phone. I've been reading a bit more and it seems like there are issues with the wifi signal being quite poor on the phone. Is this still the case or has Samsung fixed this?

I'm hoping most of you don't have the issue or maybe there's a workaround for this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The WiFi is excellent. If the wifi is poor in comparison to another phone then there is a hardware fault with the phone.

I got one off ebay and wifi was awful, had to return it and seller has since returned it to Samsung.

I got a 2nd one off ebay and wifi is perfect, better than Galaxy S.

For a detailed review, check out anadtech.com for the Galaxy S2 review and wifi performance.

Thanks guys! So it seems those who were complaining might have had a faulty unit after all... I think I will go ahead and order it in the next few days

i prefer the black one but white phones are always better for fingerprints and smudging

There is absolutely no wifi problem. I had the black one and now the white one and wifi on both are excellent.
