How Good is this for Gaming?

[coolio86]

I am either gonna get this phone, the Optimus 3D, or Evo 3D for gaming. I've been gaming in 3D on the Evo 3D and it's great. No problems, love the 3D. There aren't really any console quality games like Infinity Blade available afaik. So does the Galaxy S2's game hub provide a noticeably better gaming experience than Gameloft's 3D titles? Or would I best off getting the Evo 3D or Optimus 3D?

Btw I live in the US so that's how I have the Evo 3D.

And btw are there multiple models of the GS2 or only 1, if there are then which model works with US ATT 2G, 3G, and 4G bands?

It's "ok". That's as far as I'd go.

I'd love a week with an eve 3d

If it's the 3D your interested in, from what I read, the Optimus 3D has way better 3D. Don't get me wrong, when I saw the Evo 3D using the 3D, it looked awesome, but the Optimus is a whole level above it from what I understand. But the phone is good as a phone. It still has its problems though. Btw the qHD screen looks awesome!

The Gameshub is a load of crap, it's better to just to goto the Gameloft website the buy the games there, at least they are more uptodate with latest releases for the Galaxy S II.

But yeah it's great for Gaming, everything is runnng great here, but there will always be compatibility issues with some titles as some developers struggle to keep up with new hardware, EA Games are worst offenders.

Also once rooted you get some nice extras, like the ability to play some qualcomm and tegra 2 so called "exclusives", now you even get multisample anti aliasing which looks awesome with almost no performance hit using 4xMSAA.

Galaxy On fire 2 (Tegra 2 Version) looks and runs awesome on the Galaxy S II.

I'd honestly say go for the Optimus 3D if you're going after games, it's a cut above the evo 3d, has what they're calling 'tri-dual', so it's dual core, and dual two other things to do with processing/efficiency, can't remember though. But all in all the Optimus seems more gamer-friendly, and may fit better in your hand while playing.

Neither of them have the tegra chip, but hey our top of the range SII's don't have it either and thanks to rooting and Chainfire and various plugins, these games are now forwards compatible with our higher end Exynos chip.

Not sure where the Tegra chip stands on the spectrum compared to those on the Evo and Optimus though.

Why? it's just Cortex A9 and PowerVR SGX540, will have same gaming compatibiliy as the Galaxy S/Nexus S for the most part, with a few 3d titles thrown in.
