SGS Armani battery 1650 mAh [xda user ships worldwide - official Supplier for Europe]

[GMH24]

Firstly, I searched the forum but I surprisingly couldn't find a matching post! I don't think I am the first user to have the following line of thoughts...

The Armani version of our SGS has a stronger stock battery (I assume no cheap china thing), therefore:

1. Does it fit in a regular SGS?
2. Where can I get one? Officially from Samsung?
3. Does anybody already own one?

regards

Good post. I'd like to know this as well...

 

[oswade]

Good thinking, but has this actually been released yet? I could only find a few vids on the internet and no info on when it was released...

 

[GMH24]

Well, it's hard to say wheter the Armani GS is already out or not, the sources are quite conflicting...

Anyway, I just mailed to Samsung (Samsung Germany to be precise, they have the phone on their site) and I'll let you know as soon as I get a reply!

According to samfirmware it's just an 1500 battery? There is 1 firmware btw , with a weird pit file lol

Glad to see a thread on this, I was wondering and kept checking on ebay to see if something pops up but nothing yet so far

A review on a dutch site confirms that the battery fits the standard Galaxy S. It is indeed a 1650mAh battery.

The reply is in the comments:

And yes, I do own one It has great build quality and it feels faster than de normal Galaxy S. The only thing bugging me is the Armani logo on the front.

Quadrant score is about 1200 on the stock rom without lagfix or anything. Also, the GPS seems to work outstanding.

Thanks for the info! I just have to believe you as Dutch is barely understandable to me

Where did you buy your Armani GS? Maybe we can order batteries there?

And could you post a picture of the battery so that I have the data for further reference (product code etc.)? Would be highly appreciated!

 

[capactus]

Sure, no problem. i'll do this later this evening.

I bought mine at a store called "belcompany" in Holland. They sell the Armani version exclusively. I went to get a replacement for my broken Galaxy S and I saw the Armani version and took a chance

http://www.belcompany.nl/Selecteren/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=p175080_1

The review is very positive. The reviewer states he would rate the phone a bit higher than the standard Galaxy S for buildquality and speed. The phone lacks FM-radio and a front facing camera. But it's not a deal breaker for the reviewer.

I'll upload some pictures tonight

The webshop doesn't seem to offer replacement batteries yet. I could walk by the store tomorrow and ask if there is a possibility to get extra batteries.

 

[capactus]

Here are the pics I promised.

 

[GMH24]

Thanks a lot!!!! With this information, it should be feasible to track down one of those battaries! I'll check with the stores I usually shop tomorrow! If they cannot provide that battary, I'll contact Belcompany...

Nice wallpaper btw!

 

[capactus]

You're welcome and good luck with your search

I Attached the wallpaper.

ok, short update! Seems like it is gonna get tougher than I thought to buy that battery

My Austrian shops basically say the same as belcompany, so I'll just post it as an example:

Good afternoon,

Unfortunately we cannot order this new battery from any of our suppliers (yet).
They are not sure if this battery will become available as a separate purchase, or if it will only be available as the standard battery that comes with this newer phone.

With regards,

Vertrouwende u hier voldoende mee te hebben geïnformeerd.

I wonder what Armani GS owners should do if they want a new battery

anyway, let's hope for the best!

This place lists them, but I've no idea if the site is trustworthy.

What app are you using to track both Wifi and Phone data usage?

well considering that phone is not running gingerbread and not even the latest froyo (ie 2.2.1) it is running froyo 2.2 how did you come up with the fact that it will give you the gingerbread launcher?

He probably used the search function here to get the apk.
