Samsung Galaxy S2 or Lg Optimus 2x?

I'm going with the G2X. It's going to be available first. By the time the SII is available.......
I've read in multiple places (here's one ---> Galaxy S to Have Micro-USB to HDMI Output) that Samsung has developed, or is developing, a micro-USB to HDMI output. The website says it will go for around $50, but who knows. HDMI output to me isn't ever going to be a deal breaker, just doesn't seem necessary (although I have no doubt it can be cool and fun).
Regardless, I'm going with Sammy on this. The build is what really intrigues me. From videos I've watched, even with the 4.3" screen, the S2 is only slightly bigger, if not the same size, as the S1. I've always loved the size of the S1 and with the reduction of thickness and the larger super AMOLED Plus screen, this phone is nearly a perfect phone for me.

Some of the GS2 will have a Tegra 2 chip in them and others will have Exynos. Supposedly Exynos with it's GPU has a slight edge over tegra. But I will have to see when they run test between the 2.
Ahhhhh - I thought the S2 was rocking a Snapdragon. Am I totally wrong? I've not even heard of the Exynos before!

Bizz I see you own a Fascinate. With what Samsung and Verizon done with the Upgrades in the past with not giving the upgrade to froyo. Will you still get the Galaxy S2 if it got released by Verizon? Because I like the phone but it scares me that I will be stuck with a phone that has gingerbread for 2 years while all the other Android phones have some sort of Honeycomb for phones or Ice cream.

If you want to make your Decision By benchmark scores then look at the complete Benchmark scores.

I'm still not convinced that these are 100% accurate scores just yet. The model that was bench marked was not a production model it was put out just as a preview of the device, i'm betting the drivers still need to be optimized, and when they are I'm betting the exynos/Mali pulls ahead.
I'm hoping the G2X's final build of stock Android can help counter some of the shortcomings from the comparison video. While the S2 looks amazing, it's not coming out for a couple months. I'll be done with the G2X by then. I'm getting both. Just sold my Atrix, ready to make the leap to T-mob and preorder on Friday.
I'm pretty much sold on this handset right now. It's a good investment for 18 months in my opinion. Great piece of hardware.
S2 for me. Loving the sleek look of the g2x, the vanilla experience, and the music player.... pretty nice. Check it out.

But unfortunately, we can't forget about what cell phones were meant for, calling. I use my phone as my primary means of communication with work and with my 5 day trial using the galaxy s 4g I had bad reception inside my headquarters and in buildings throughout my route

That LG Optimus 2X is DEFINITELY a great handset. Unfortunately it's not coming to Verizon. Us Verizon users will probably get it a year after it's released though. Renamed of course and sold as the hottest new tech : )
It's too bad that Verizon is like this. Great network lousy Android phones with the exception of the Galaxy S11 and leaked Targa. To be fair Bionic is pretty sweet as well.

Ha Preach! I saw that..you know how I feel about Quadrant but some people really like these high scores.
Good to see you here buddy!
G2x is supposed to be stock Android. I mean if youre on T Mobile. I would rather have that honestly.

The official Samsung HDMI adapter doesn't look to be out for quite a while yet but there's one by BizLite over at Mobile Fun that should be in over the next fortnight (website says 9-14 days) http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/bizlink-m...ack-p29839.htm
Cheaper than the official one too. Quite annoying having no TV-out on the 3.5mm jack like the Galaxy S did!
Your link leads to "Page not found." Is this it?

The LG has terrible battery life, GS2 does not. LG has LTE but the only benefit is web browsing, all other apps fly on the GS2.
