Hardware

Design  looks more elegant when compared to the SGS I.  uses a dark-colored plastic material on the whole the phone. Plastic material chosen and its use is not without cause, is to press in order to be light weight mobile phone even if the dimensions are large.

Forget the problems of materials by cell phone, now we go on the discussion of mobile phone screen. uses a capacitive touch screen measuring 4.3 inches AMOLED Super Plus with a depth of 16 million color WVGA resolution (480 x 800 pixels) equipped with a glass that gorilla looks very, very riveting our eyes. Honestly I increase the screen to the SGS  looks pretty signifkan although both use the AMOLED screen type, but the has added a frill Plus as an increase in color depth and brightness of colors. In addition, the AMOLED screen Super Plus is claimed to be more efficient when compared with the batery Super AMOLED display on the SGS I.

We compare three mobile phone screen as the iPhone is comparable to 4, SGS II, and LG Optimus 2X to play HD resolution video clips. When we compare us to the conclusion that the iPhone screen 4 has a natural screen, the screen was white and did not look bluish or reddish.  screen looks a little reddish, black level, looks very concentrated so that the sharpness of the color and brightness of the colors are very, very good. While Optimus 2X LG screen looks reddish color so neutral, although somewhat less sharp. For information, there is a choice of color modes such as dynamic, standard, and movie and for testing we used the standard mode.

Below is a video demo at  plays Full HD 1080p resolution video that we download from YouTube. SGS II screen really amaze our eyes.


Inter-face view

Display interface belongs to  has experienced an increase in the presence of the typical appearance of the latest Samsung TouchWiz 4.0 (SGS I use TouchWiz 3.0). The first change is most noticeable is on the lock screen, if usually shifted laterally now you can open the lock screen by sliding the screen lock screen any direction you want.


On display widget also there is a change, if at SGS I you want to use 2 widget then you have to add double tap on the home screen widgets, SGS II now on you can choose which widgets you want to apply with just one pressing add widgets and free to choose to place the widget on the home screen display is available. If the Samsung Android phone only comes with a choice of wallpapers that impress live-thats it, now is equipped with the latest selection of live wallpaper that looks more attractive. For the latest information just live wallpaper found on the SGS II is connected to the AccuWeather weather forecast so that the wallpaper will fit with the existing weather conditions. For example, rainy weather will come to eat a live wallpaper rain.

There are a total of 7 screens home screen you can attach it. By default, there are only 3 pieces of the display home screen, but if you feel a lot less you can add up to 7 pieces of screen home screen.

To view notifications you can scroll down the screen towards the top, but it also contained manjemen connectivity on-screen notification of

The menu is displayed with the display side, you can create a new folder or a new menu page with ease. One more new feature available on the SGS II, you can share applications directly from the menu using the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Email, etc..

Integrated Phonebook

As a smart phone,  has no storage limits on the phonebook. Phonebook is terintergasi with social networking accounts and Gmail, and this has become a standard Android phone today. One drawback of this phone, can not display the phonebook contacts on the SIM card. You have to move the contact on the SIM phonebook lartu phone in advance if you want to see that there are contacts on your SIM card

There are two storage areas, namely on the Google Account contacts and phone memory. Available personal contact details such as photos, personal ringtones, email address, etc..


Input Text and Messaging Features

There are several ways to input text using a QWERTY keyboard like the portrait / landscape, Recognize Handwriting, and alphanumeric keypad. There is no typical Samsung Swype input method because the test unit we reviewed is not yet the final version that will be sold later.


Samsung Galaxy S II can be used to send messages such as SMS, MMS, Email, and IM. Incorporated into a single SMS with MMS editor, to change the SMS to MMS you can add multimedia content to the SMS. There is a 160 character message that you can use to send SMS.

For email, you can use Google like Gmail the default email. For other email you can email settings manually.

For there are innate Gtalk IM, to use other IM you can download it on the Android Market.

Multimedia

Music Players

The music player comes with the typical look of Android, a music player will separate the songs on the album, singer, and all the songs. When songs are played album art display. EQ options such as auto, normal, pop, rock, jazz, dance, classical, live, and the custom has been found on the music player. 3D sound effects you can use, but you must use a headset to listen to 3D sound effect. The sound quality speakers sound good, bass and treble sound on song genres beat up the Black Eyed Peas can be played well. In addition, we tried to play classical music for more detailed testing with a selection of classic EQ, speaker voice also sounds just as good. Two Thumbs up for music player


Photo Gallery

 photo gallery gallery looks the same as other Android phones, there is no customization of the appearance of photo galleries SGS II which comes with a 3D display. Zoom-in images can be done in three ways such as tapping the screen as fast as much as 2x, to pinch and zoom, as well as use the zoom-in virtual. As a dual-core mobile processor, the speed of SGS II in zoom-in no doubt, there is no rendering at zoom-in pictures that we took from our DSLR cameras. Can you share photos via Bluetooth, AllSharem Picasa, and Wi-Fi.


Video Player

SGS II default video player can play many video formats such as WMV, AVI (DivX and XviD), MP4, and MKV (H.264). All videos can be played smoothly without any visible fractures resolution except 1080p MKV video format that we test. For information, to other video formats except MKV what we test, all the minimal resolution HD video.

FM radio with RDS support

SGS II is equipped with FM radio feature with RDS support. FM radio display look simple, so easy to use. Radio station you can search manually or automatically and you can save.


Connectivity

running on a Quad Band GSM / GPRS / EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and HSDPA 850/900/1900/2100 Mhz. For local connectivity there is Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n Dual Band which runs at 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks with AllShare DLNA support and Wi-Fi Tethering and Bluetooth version 3.0 with a high transfer speeds. For the exchange of data to a mobile phone to PC or vice versa you can use the data cable. SGS II has support HDMI out for watching video from mobile phone on your HD TV screen. The latter are NFC application in Indonesia which can not be done.


For information, there are no ports on the SGS II MiniHDMI, instead there is a port where SFM is the same shape as MicroUSB port. Port SFM can be used to transfer video and fill out batery.

Browser

SGS II browsers already support Flash 10.1 for ARMv7 processor usage. SGSs Flash II can play a flash game CityVille Facebook and YouTube as we test desktop version. High-resolution screen SGS IIs very indulgent eye while browsing, kinetic scrolling and pinch and zoom was very fast and there is no significant lag.

The browser can be used to open up to a maximum of 8 tab windows. With support for dual core processors, 1080p resolution video on YouTube can be easily played on SGSI II.

Samsung Hub

There are three new pieces in addition to Social Hub Hub included with the Samsung Android phone before the Games Hub, Music Hub, and Readers Hub. As usual, the social hub serves to accommodate e-mail and social networks like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace. After menggisikan email accounts and social networks will be able to see your friends status updates.

Game Hub allows you to download the game and play multiplayer games with other people who also have a game similar to that of the SGS II you through the Internet. There are two games social gaming options and premium games. There is also the option to try to play the game first before you buy.

Music Hub allows you to see In the song being online by categories such as top charts, new releases, etc.. You can also listen to the songs you want before you buy.


GPS navigation with Google Maps Help

Samsung Galaxy S II comes with Google Maps default version 5 (5.2.1) with maps that can display a 3D view. Large screen is very convenient when we use to navigate. As yet there is 3D information in Indonesia, you can use others such as satellite view, street view, and terrain.

When we test a GPS, it was not until 3 minutes has been connected with the GPS satellites, this is because of the support A-GPS to speed up satellite lock position.

Congenital Applications 

Polaris Office

Office applications can be used to open and edit office documents like doc, xls, pdf, and doc. This application can not be used to create a new office document files can only be used to open and edit a document file.

Task Manager

This feature allows you to see the running applications, remove applications that are on the phone, and shut down (task kill) the application is running.

Performance and Benchmarking

Samsung Galaxy S II that we have dual core processors still use version 1.0 Ghz and 1 GB of RAM. Below are the results of benchmarking of

Quadrant Standard 1903 points
Antutu: 3809 points
Neocore: 58.5 fps
Multitouch Test: 10 touches

Although SGS II trials that we still use the dual core processor 1.0 GHz version, but it already feels powerful mobile performance. Like when playing 1080p video resolution that looks smooth AVI format as well as zoom-in and kinetic scrolling. Imagine if the SGS II that will go to Indonesia was the processor version 1.2, how it performs.

Our readers best-beloved smaller wireless carrier currently has 2 world-class Android smartphones. Samsung Mesmerize, the U.S. Cellulars model within the Samsung Galaxy S line of Android-powered phones, is sweet enough to draw customers aloof from rival Verizon Wireless. it is also a little higher than the rival HTC want ($199, 4.5 stars), creating the Mesmerize our Editors selection for smartphones on U.S. Cellular. It conjointly makes the cut for our list of Phones With the simplest Battery Life.

U.S. Cellular, the nations sixth-largest carrier, covers elements of twenty six states and frequently gets high marks in our Readers selection awards. The carrier recently launched the "Belief Project," a collection of recent customer-service standards and bonuses together with a loyalty reward program, overage protection, free battery swaps, and different goodies.

Hardware and Phone Performance


The Mesmerize is basically an equivalent hardware because the Samsung Fascinate ($199, four stars) on Verizon Wireless, however the software builds and U.S. Cellulars service plans are completely different enough to draw shoppers aloof from Verizons model. To recap, this is often a slim, black-slab phone at four.9 by 2.5 by 0.4 inches (HWD) and four.1 ounces, with a 4-inch, 800-by-480 super AMOLED touchscreen and a 5-megapixel camera on the rear. The phones black plastic body is straightforward to carry, and if you have never seen the colours on one among Samsungs Super AMOLED screens before, then they will extremely knock your socks off.

Like the Fascinate, the Mesmerize could be a excellent voice phone. Its nice and loud, and voices sound clear. The speakerphone is of a good volume. Transmissions sound good; there is a little bit of background noise, however voices come back through clearly. You get a large amount of facet tone, that is that the echo of your own voice in your ear that forestalls you from yelling into the phone. The handset conjointly paired simply with our Aliph Jawbone Icon Bluetooth headset. The Nuance voice dialing works over Bluetooth, that is nice, however I found it horribly inaccurate. Battery life was completely spectacular with nearly eight hours of speak time in my tests.

The Mesmerize connects to the net using U.S. Cellulars EV-DO Rev A network and 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi. I had no issues hooking up to our WPA2-protected company network. The Mesmerize conjointly works as a 3G hotspot on U.S. Cellulars network, therefore you ought to expect speeds around 1Mbps. the extra service set up prices $25 per month. in step with Samsung, the phone will meet up with the companys Kies computer software eventually. that is a neat Samsung app that helps you to sync contacts and calendars domestically with Outlook—a rare feature on Android phones.

Mesmerizing Software


The Mesmerize, just like the Fascinate, runs Android a pair of.1. An upgrade to version a pair of.2 is returning soon, Samsung says. Like all the Galaxy S phones, Samsung has laid its TouchWiz UI layer over Android. that provides the phone a somewhat completely different look than different Android devices, along side a far better phone book, a far better Microsoft Exchange shopper, deeper connections to social networking services, and a number of custom apps.

However, the Fascinate became controversial as a result of Verizon replaced Google search on the phone with Bing. that wont the case here—and, of course, Verizons different bloatware is not on the Mesmerize either. U.S. Cellular did add a number of apps, however they are comparatively low-key. for instance, there is a Telenav-based GPS navigation app (which found my location quickly and accurately) and a contact book backup.

Otherwise, the Mesmerize runs over one hundred,000 apps, and it will therefore brilliantly. The Galaxy Ss 1GHz Samsung Hummingbird CPU is quicker than the processors within the HTC want and Motorola Droid X, and is at par with T-Mobiles latest HTC myTouch HD. In any case, its 1st rate.

Media and Conclusions


Like all Galaxy S phones, the Mesmerize is a wonderful media player. Samsungs music app shows album art, and it played all of my unprotected music files (including OGG format) flawlessly—both over wired and Bluetooth headphones. Video files of up to 720p resolution played smoothly, with virtual surround-sound in wired headphones. YouTube streamed HQ videos over Wi-Fi that were razor-sharp and butter-smooth in my tests. The phone has one.5GB of free internal memory and comes with a 16GB microSD card, which inserts into a slot underneath the rear cowl.

The Mesmerize encompasses a excellent 5-megapixel camera—at least excellent for a camera phone. each out of doors and indoor pictures were sharp, with smart color balance. I had occasional issues with blur in low-light conditions. The phone records 720p HD video at thirty frames per second, though video recorded in low-light areas gets noisy.

The Mesmerize outpaces each Verizons Fascinate and U.S. Cellulars HTC want, though your selection between the 3 are going to be a matter of style. U.S. Cellulars friendly service plans and fewer carrier interference within the software create the Mesmerize a lot of appealing than the Fascinate. However, your call between the Mesmerize and want can depend upon whether or not you wish Samsungs TouchWiz or HTCs Sense UI. however you cannot deny that the Mesmerize encompasses a higher camera, a faster processor, and a bigger screen than the will, that create this wonderful Android phone our Editors selection for U.S. Cellular.

Following the footsteps of the Google Nexus 7, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S got their own treatment of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. The 15.1MB update is currently seeding to GSM/HSPA versions of both smartphones over the air.

The update is a minor improvement over its predecessor. It includes the usual performance and stability fixes. Landscape mode however, will remain reserved for the Google Nexus 7.

Compared to liquid beverages, gels have the advantage of causing lower GI stress, when significant quantities of CHOs are consumed during exercise. Bars, can be held in the cheek pouch and chewed during critical phases of a race.

The headline gives it away. Todays SuppVersity article is a brief review of the (mostly sponsored) literature on Gatora.... ah, I mean carbohydrate supplementation during exercise. The headline also implies that the usefulness and efficacy of carbohydrate supplements depends on exercise duration and the type of exercise.

As a seasoned student of the SuppVersity you will know that certain paradox involved with regard to the duration / type of exercise. Short exercise durations, for example, shouldnt require large CHO boluses, long duration exercise, on the other hand, is fueled mostly by fat - so why should you supplement with carbohydrates, anyway?
I promise to answer this and other questions in the following paragraphs, but before I do so, I would like to point out that there is as of now no evidence that the much-praised "fat adaptation" increases the exercise performance to an "Olympia" level. Carbohydrate supplements, on the other hand, are still part of the regular supplementation regimen for the 99% of the top athletes.

That being said, the human physiology dictates that the use of carbohydrate supplements during aerobic workouts that last less than 60 minutes is useless, because muscle glycogen is generally not limiting to performance when exercise durations are less than ~60 minutes.

It should not work for short duration exercise, but it still does

Interestingly, 16 out of 23 studies, Trent Stellingwerff and Gregory R. Cox from the Canadian Sport Institute-Pacific and the Australian Institute of Sport reviewed for their recent paper in Applied Physiology have found that carbohydrate supplementation and/or oral (mouth) exposure to carbohydrate can improve performance of tasks less than 1 hour in duration:

You wont fully deplete your muscular glyocogen levels during short duration resistance training (Haff. 2003)

"In 2004 a seminal paper was published showing that a carbohydrate mouth-wash (swirling 25ml of a 6% CHO beverage (only ~1.5g of CHO in 25ml [6.4% maltodextrin solution (CHO)]) around in the mouth for ~10 sec, every 7.5min) significantly improved time trial (TT) performance [in seven male and two female endurance cyclists] by ~3% (Carter et al. 2004a)." (Stellingwerff & Cox. 2014)

This effect of CHO mouth-washing to improve performance in events from 30-60min has now been replicated in several other performance studies (10 of 13 studies) using both cycling and running interventions and with both sweet (sucrose) and non-sweet (maltodextrin) caloric CHO sources,as compared to 5 non-caloric artificial sweetener placebo trials showing no performance enhancing effects.

Figure 1: Hard to believe, but true - In 2010 Pottier et al. observed that CHO mouth-rinsing, but not CHO ingestion increases the 1h high intensity time-trial performance in trained subjects.

 "All these findings have been mechanistically supported with a functional magnetic resonance brain imaging study showing that CHO mouth-washing from both sweet tasting glucose and non-sweet maltodextrin can stimulate the brain areas of the insula/frontal operculum, orbitofrontal cortex and striatum, which are involved with brain centers responsible for reward and motor control (Chambers et al. 2009). Interestingly, if the mouth (oral receptors) and GI tract is by-passed by CHO infusion straight into the blood stream then 1h cycling TT performance was unaltered as compared to no CHO supplementation (Carter et al. 2004b)." (Stellingwerff & Cox. 2014)

Studies evaluating the effects on perceived exertion (Fares et al. 2011) found similar benefits all of which support the idea that the effect does not occur in the musculature, but rather in the head.
It should be obvious that the physiological, or rater intra-muscular benefits of carbohydrate supplements increases with the exercise duration.

CHO supplementation during exercise that lasts 60 minutes or longer

In view of the fact that it is 100% logical and well established by studies by Coyle et al. (Coyle 1992a; Coyle 1992b) that the intake of carbohydrate (glucose alone, and glucose + fructose blends) can significantly improve prolonged endurance capacity and performance (>60min of exercise (Jeukendrup 2010)).

Figure 2: Overview of the performance increases in the 50 studies Stellingwerff & Cox reviewed (2014)

Against that background I will not bother you with another overview of the results, but focus on the efficacy of different carbohydrate supplementation strategies and types of carbohydrate supplements for exercise durations beyond the "magical" hour.

Glucose + fructose - the combination advantage

As a SuppVersity reader youve previously heard about the benefits of combining glucose and fructose in your intra-workout beverage. It is thus only logical that most commercially available formulas are mixtures  glucose + fructose (GLU:FRU) or maltodextrin + fructose - so-called "multi-transportable CHOs". The advantage of using both glucose and fructose is that the carbohydrates will be absorbed via SGLT1 and GLUT5 intestinal transporters.

Specifically during long(er) duration exercise, when the carbohydrate consumption can exceed 60g/h there is a significant performance increase with multi- vs. single source carbohydrate supplements (Stellingwerff & Cox. 2014)

An advantage that has been scientifically established among others by Jeukendrup et al. (2010) who found that this pattern of CHO ingestion results in ~20 to 50% higher CHO oxidation rates compared to the ingestion of a drink that contains nothing but glucose or maltodextrin.


Now an increase in carbohydrate oxidation alone does not sound like something you would aim for as an endurance athlete. In practice, increases in carbohydrate oxidation have yet been shown to increase the performance during prolonged exercise bouts compared to isocaloric glucose-only beverages. (Currell et al. 2008; Triplett et al. 2010; OBrien et al. 2011; OBrien et al. 2013).
Needless to say that there is still research to be done with respect to individual influencing variables of carbohydrate requirements. The currently available evidence, for example, is largely based on results from runners and cyclists. Two other factors / issues that come to mind are...

• the dose-response relationship, which appears to be capped at 75g/h - at least according to a large-scale multi-center study by Smith et al. (Smith. 2013) who found that their subjects, endurance trained cyclists or triathletes experienced significant performance increases, with increasing amounts of carbohydrates (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120g of CHO/h) during a 2h constant load ride.
  
  

  Figure 3: Mean log time to complete time trial (natural) as function of CHO treatment condition with fitted quadratic curve (with 95% CI of mean curves). Differences 100 represent percent change in performance. The quadratic function relating CHO ingestion rate to time complete time trial for 43% (95% CI = 11%–75%,P= 0.059) of the variation in mean performance score (Smith. 2013)

  The CHO given was a 1:1:1 glucose:maltodextrin:fructose blend. Results indicated incremental performance improvements of 1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, 4.0%, and 4.7% at 9, 19, 31, 48, and 78g CHO/h, respectively, with diminishing performance enhancement seen at CHO levels >78g/h.
  
  The optimal amount for performance (+4.7%) was 78g/h, with a range of 68 to 88g/h. However, even at 10g/h, a 1.0% increase in performance was observed, showing even a small amount of carbohydrate has the potential to positively impact performance. 
• the optimal mix of glucose, dextrose, fructose, maltodextrin or other "special" carbohydrates  - needless to say that waxy maize, hydroxypropyl distarches (learn more) or the expensive fast absorbing highly insulinogenic patented carbohydrate source Vitargo come to mind, when we are talking about finding the optimal mix of different carbohydrate sources - a mix, by the way, of which you can safely assume that it will differ according to the physiological demands of the workout and the exercise duration.
  
  One thing we shouldnt forget, though, is that next to optimal performance, optimal GI tolerance, i.e. the absence of bloating, diarrhea & co would be an important criteria the "optimal" carbohydrate blend would have to meet.

• Figure 4: CHO suppl. ameliorates  testosterone reductions in 800m runners (de Sousa. 2010)

  the impact of carbohydrate supplementation on hormonal changes during and in response exercise - several human studies suggest that CHO supplementation attenuates the suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and the rise in stress hormones during periods of intense training; a recent rodent study shows that the provision of carbohydrate supple- ments can prevent / reverse exercise-associated menstrual dysfunction (de Sousa. 2010; Zhao. 2014)

I guess, I could come up with additional research gabs, but in the end, a list of "gaps" is not exactly useful for you. Much in contrast to a conclusion, which I am about to formulate in the bottom line, now.

it seems Samsung will maintain the physical home button on the Galaxy S III American version, the same as international version. The picture above is believed to be the Galaxy S III to be released by T-Mobile. If T-Mobile still maintaining the physical home button is likely AT & T version and other American carriers will also be the same. As we know during this Samsung home to avoid the use of physical buttons on the device they are released in the U.S. home-related issues that have become the hallmark of Apple products. If the news is true it seems Galaxy S III will also be the object of strict patent war between Apple and Samsung.

T-Mobile Galaxy S III’s Download New OTA Update T999UVLJ4, Since yesterday, T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III users are seeing a new firmware update being hitting their handsets. This is a small OTA update, bringing the new build number T999UVLJ4 and a couple of improvements to the build of the handset. Android version still remains at v4.0.4. No luck of Jelly Bean update yet for the U.S. based Galaxy S III handsets, although the manufacturer has confirmed it will be available in the coming months.

You will observe the following changes:

Improvements:

# Resolved Media Hub playback issues
# Pinch & Zoom backend changes – No visible user  changes

If you are yet to receive the new OTA update, you can try to manually download it by hitting the Settings app section and proceed for further options to find it. Or else, you can also try to upgrade your device through Samsung’s own Kies program by connecting your handset to PC.

The update is weighing just 12MB of size.
