Buying Galaxy S Advance or the Galaxy S II ??

[kareemanime]

Dear Friends,
I need to buy a new android phone instead of my Galaxy Fit. My budget makes me hesitating between Galaxy S Advance and Galaxy S II.
I know that the S II is better but it's about one year old. The S advance has similar abilities but new and cheaper.
I don't care about the camera, I just need bigger screen for reading or do you recommend other phones ??
Thank You

Hi and welcome to AF.

Don't worry your English is just fine.
IMO, I would go with the Samsung Galaxy S2 or if you want a really big screen then you could see about the Galaxy Note, which is a note and a phone put together basically.
Good luck getting it into your pocket though.
But, if the Note is too much then I would just go with the Samsung galaxy S2 then.

SII has the bigger screen, and while the S Advance is newer, it is also using a weaker processor in terms of clockspeed. However, both phones do have the same GPU. I would say, go for the SII. Even if its a year older, its still more powerful than the Advance.

My s2 from t-mobile was brand-new only 7 months ago (t-mobile didn't get them in until Oct last year). I know nothing about an s advance, but i'm thinking that it can't have similar abilities (especially the more powerful and larger t-mobile version) and be cheaper at the same time.
In my experience, when you pay a little less, you get a little less.
Don't envy someone elves s2 after you huy an s-advance. It wont feel good.

Thank you all for your answers.
I bought the SGS 2 and after few days I noticed that I had a lot of hangs and auto-restarts so I asked one of my friends (android fan).
he told me that my phone is the downgraded I9100 G version so I went to the seller again but I couldn't find the international I9100 version.
So, I had to change the whole model and since it was hard for me to use a smaller display again I had to go higher .... so, I bought Galaxy Note (dramatic change in events).
I had it for three days now, it's really big but I don't need my netbook at all now because its display is wonderful.
