Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 – First stock landing March!

Posted on February 25, 2011 by Clove

Since this post was first published, we have now had information to say that stock will not be here until May.

As we all know, release dates are always subject to change but we’ve had word today that the first stock of the Samsung Galaxy S II i9100, both the 16GB & 32GB versions, will be landing mid to late March. This is slightly sooner than expected as it was previously thought that Samsung’s new superphone would not be available until some time in Q2.

The prices that we have listed are correct at this time, but are subject to change. Regrettably the 16GB model has increased in price since its original listing in the Clove website. If you place a pre order today, you will not be charged and once the final price and availability has been confirmed, you will be given the option to proceed with or cancel the order.

For customers that have already placed an order for the 16GB model at the lower price, please contact us quoting your order reference number, confirming whether or not you agree to the revised price, or whether you wish to change to the 32GB model. Previously the 32GB model was not listed, but we have now had confirmation that it will be available.

We now have the two variation of the SGS2 listed at the following prices:

Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 (16GB) - £510 + VAT

~~Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 (32GB) – £590 + VAT~~

For those of you that haven’t seen them already, here’s a run through of the specs of the Galaxy S 2:

Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
TouchWiz 4.0 UI
1 GHz dual-core Exynos processor
1GB RAM
4.3″ 480 x 800 Super AMOLED Plus display
16 or 32GB internal storage
Up to 32GB micro SDHC
NFC ready
A-GPS with Google Maps including Latitude, Places, Navigation (beta)
SWYPE text input
802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi
8MP camera with autofocus and LED flash
2MP front-facing camera
1650mAh Li-ion battery
125.3 x 66.1 x 8.49 mm
116g

I hope Samsung know what they are doing….. as this will make the SGS2 the most expensive Smartphone available to the general public.

What we don’t know yet is how the customer is going to be able to update the phone.
Previously, upgrades required the PC software Kies which as quite a lot of users know is problematic at best.
With this very high price, Samsungs past history in not looking after it’s user base very well and Kies it is going to take a huge effort by Samsung to sell this phone to the general public.

Obviously those who have not had any dealings before with Samsung willl not be aware of the pitfalls…. However, those who are past customers will be all to familiar.

It’s up to you Samsung to get it right and I don’t mean in just the phone.

Ouch, ~£600 inc VAT….

I find it hard to see how this is justified.
Mike Paterson on February 25, 2011 at 11:30 am said:

Hi Jon,
Yes, £600 inc VAT is a lot.
I am thinking of the 32GB model so £708 inc VAT sounds even harder to swallow, especially given Samsungs record and past history.
- karnka on February 25, 2011 at 11:54 am said:
  
  The 32GB does typify it… £100 for an extra 16GB of flash memory is very hard to swallow.
  
  It will be the history that stops me considering this now I think. When it looked reasonably cheap (which I had attributed to Samsung’s economies of scale) I was almost tempted.
  
  Now, I think it’s a wait and see again. See how it’s received, see how the price falls over time.
Clove on February 25, 2011 at 11:52 am said:

We have to admit that the devices are expensive in comparison to other handsets out there, but the iPhone justifies massive price premiums often.

Lets hope Samsung realise that a lower price will attract more customers…reality is though it is popular irrespective of price!
- Mike Paterson on February 25, 2011 at 12:33 pm said:
  
  If it is advertised like the Galaxy S was (and still is) then no doubt there will be lot of new customers interested.
  How their interest remains once they find out the price will be another thing…
  
  However, for those who have already been let down by Samsung or are aware of the previous problems, they will be the customers harder to convince.

Я расстроен, ожидал что телефон будет стоить 440 фунтов и внес его в корзину.Это цена предельная для меня,по другой я его не смогу купить.Тем более что я спрашивал -это окончательная цена.Я не получил ответа на мой вопрос только письмо о регистрации.

This price surely means the galaxy s2 will have poor sales,was really considering this but seeing as the motorola atrix,optimus x2,optimus 3d are comparable but much cheaper i can’t see anyone justifying this extreme price
- Clove on February 28, 2011 at 5:28 pm said:
  
  Yes there is more competition out there this year so it will be interesting to see how it fairs up compared to the other handsets

If Samsung had to Double the price of it as compared to Galaxy S, then they wulnt have taken it out of market… If at all it is true then it is Foolish Mgmt. They r going to suffer huge losses.. Coz there are 2 many Buyers in market with Rs. 28K in hand but Galaxy S is not there..If S II is anything more than 30-32K, then bye bye samsung. I think HTC Desire HD is a much better buy in that case
- Mike Paterson on March 4, 2011 at 9:41 am said:
  
  I wouldn’t put the HTC Desire HD in the same class as the SGS2…. not by a long mile.

I will only decide if the price is too high after contact with the phone. iPhone 4 feels quality and for that I expect it to cost more.
For the price of the S2, quality has to be the main issue. The specs and hardware of the phone cannot be questioned, that leaves build quality.
We wont know that until the device ships, so despite already ordering the phone, may be I should wait.
Tahir on March 24, 2011 at 6:05 am said:

when it is going to launch in India?
Any Idea?
- Clove on March 24, 2011 at 7:57 am said:
  
  Sorry no we do not know – but we can ship to India
  - Tahir on March 24, 2011 at 10:45 am said:
    
    So when exactly it will be available to you people & what will be the Pre-order price in terms of Indian Rupees???
    - Clove on March 24, 2011 at 12:23 pm said:
      
      We’re expecting the first uk stock to be available at the beginning of May. You can convert the price at http://www.xe.com
  - Tahir on March 26, 2011 at 7:06 pm said:
    
    So, do you ship to India?
    If yes then what about warranty? & by when I can expect this shipment to reach India?
    Expansys says that it will be available in the next month (April) only….
Nabeel on March 25, 2011 at 9:24 pm said:

Do you ship to Bahrain? What about the warranty?
- Clove on March 26, 2011 at 9:06 am said:
  
  We do ship to Bahrain. The warranty is still applicable, but it would have to come back to the UK for repair under warranty should something go wrong.
  - Nabeel on March 26, 2011 at 5:32 pm said:
    
    Thank you for your reply. Other questions; What will be the price of the 16GB including shipping cost and how long would it take to reach Bahrain?
    - Clove on March 28, 2011 at 8:57 am said:
      
      The total with DHL shipping (£30) would be £470 and would take 2-3 working days to be delivered once dispatched. You can view shipping options and total price by adding items to your basket and proceeding to checkout. This will not commit you to buying the items.

Hi, im from Kuwait and dealing with aramex
and my question is do ship to Kuwait by aramex and how
much total price of galaxy s2, my last question s2 available now or not (thank you)
- Clove on March 30, 2011 at 3:58 pm said:
  
  Yes we can ship to Aramex UK for you, so you would pay UK shipping. You would then make arrangements with them to have the package shipped. The first stock of the Galaxy S 2 is due at the beginning of May, the total with UK shipping would be £536.40.

    thank you
Angel on April 6, 2011 at 1:46 am said:

Not for USA, because will be WITHOUT SIM card slot! So, no good to use in Americas. Why no 32 Gb? It supposed to get at same date! It’s not more different than the capacity.
- Waleed on April 6, 2011 at 8:32 am said:
  
  plz angel this phone work in kuwait or you mean dont work, because I add this phone to my basket, and in kuwait use sim card, we want more explanation for this point.
  
  thank you….
Waleed on April 13, 2011 at 9:15 am said:

Hi i have important question you know im from Kuwait with is out side UK and i want ask you should the price include vat and im dealing with aramex

thank you
- Clove on April 13, 2011 at 10:36 am said:
  
  HI Waleed, VAT is removed for orders shipped outside of the EU, so you will not pay VAT if the order is shipped to Kuwait.
Msaed on May 24, 2011 at 9:40 am said:

Does the Galaxy S II support arabic language?
- Clove on May 24, 2011 at 3:27 pm said:
  
  Yes
Msaed on May 25, 2011 at 5:20 am said:

Thank you for your reply.

I just want to reconfirm your answer. Do i need to root the phone or does it come out of the box with Arabic language support?

Because if it is the case, i will order one right now.
- Clove on May 25, 2011 at 11:54 am said:
  
  It does not support Arabic out of the box, although you should be able to alter the language settings using the app MoreLocale 2 https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale&feature=search_result
  
  However we are not sure to what extent it changes the language setting to Arabic
  - Msaed on May 26, 2011 at 8:08 am said:
    
    Thank you. I will wait for an official release from Samsung for our region then. I hope it does not take very long!!!
Waleed Alfares on May 25, 2011 at 5:53 am said:

I preordered GS2 from Clove in April and received it in may BUT I was disappointed as its not arabic supported .. I confirm NO ARABIC SUPPORT .. should I sent it back to you and have the supported one or what? Please advise.
Neil on June 17, 2011 at 10:04 am said:

Greetings Clove,

I would like to know when does the Samsung Galaxy SII officially releases in Kuwait? I’ve been hearing rumors like the date has been pushed back yet again till July?
- Clove on June 17, 2011 at 10:17 am said:
  
  Haven’t heard anything about an official release in Kuwait, but we can ship one to Kuwait for you if you like.
  - Neil on June 18, 2011 at 11:05 am said:
    
    Thank you for the quick reply. Will inform if I will order it from your website.
