Can GS2 performance be achieved?

[shure2]

I saw this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY7nHi2Lcbg

And it confirmed what I already thought, especially with the benchmarks.

What I'm asking is if through custom roms, overclocking and different apps (maybe opera is better than stock browser) the evo 3d can get near or beat a stock S2 across a number of these tasks.

Referring to the ROMs I mean GSM, but any CDMA input is also appreciated and beneficial to the forum.

If you were to run AOSP on both phones, there is a very good chance you would not notice a difference in performance (real world wise). Overclock a Sense ROM and you'll probably get the same effect as well. But comparing OC'd to stock isn't that fair.

I will 1v1 anyone in any benchmarks and CPU speed... Lulz

How old is that video? I had to unroot my EVO to take the new update to the 2.17 base and I must say it flies. I noticed the difference right away. And I'm talking about stock unrooted. The new base on a custom Rom like Meanrom makes all other roms on the old base feel like crap.

Little kids thinking benchmarks matter. Its cute.

True story.

Benchmarks were worth it during the Evo 4G era, but now, all these phones are so powerful that in the real world you won't see differences. IMO

Where do I mention benchmarks? If you watch the video its most comparing real world speed like opening and panning etc. Benchmarks are still a good indicator of raw performance

Just wanted to point this out.

I dont think its a problem with our cpu or gpu, htc had our phone bogged down, linpack and nenamark2 are so close on both phones stock now. Since the jan update this thing flies.

That video needs to be redone

Ha i did mention them after all! My mistake, but I'm still a firm believer that benchmarks often show the raw performance of the hardware, but it's usually crippled by the supplied drivers and software.

I guess it's because I come from a PC era where benchmarks are a lot more valuable

Mean rom surpasses stock SGSII in IMO. Benchmarks say it even passes GalNex too.

G.nex isn't really considered a powerful phone by any means. Just a elegant phone with an insane display, ICS, and second best development before the International GS2.

I'm running a custom ROM here on my GS2 and it runs better than any Evo 3D ROM I tried. Pretty insane.

@1:33 he claims the e3d has gorilla glass. Anyone feel like taking their SP off and testing it out?

I have had mine sine early July and never used a case or screen protector. No scratches or blemishes over here.

Ditto, hate screen protectors and have never used one on my OG Evo and my Evo 3d and have never had a scratch on them.

Mean rom is fairly new, newer than the New Year itself. Did you try it before you jumped ship?

Well the manufacturer of gorilla glass thinks so too.

Inquire at gorilla glass and they say they have no idea.

What? It says right on their website that the 3d uses it.
