Samsung Galaxy S2 gets Android 4.0 Ice Cream Update with help of MIUI Rom

We all been waiting see our blazing fast green robot Samsung Galaxy S2 with the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.But we don't have the exact information when Samsung would release to our device.The developers had made it possible by the blazing fast MIUI Rom.

By installing this ROM the performance on the Samsung Galaxy S2 was up to 2x performance and made a remarkable benchmarks results by crossing the 5000 when compared to the stock ROM which was given by the Samsung galaxy s2 it was just 3500.(Higher is Better)It almost given the double the performance when compared to the newly installed firmware on our green robot.
And the Sunspider JavaScript results were all unbelievable when compared to the old java script results.which was testing on the Gingerbread 3385, now on this new firmware it was 1774 (Here lower is better)
One thing we need to check on this is the developers had overclocked the speed to the 1.6Ghz as the performance of the GPU will be gone for about 30% performance.And the bad news here is the we can't experience the whole UI interface which was shown on the Android 4.0 update. That wasn't a big news. if you want to take a try on this MIUI Rom go on try it yourself by clicking the source link.It will void your warranty.

Drop Test of Samsung Galaxy s2 and iPhone4S

iPhone4s started rolling out and had sold about 4 million in three days.Pretty cool.If you actually own it please dont try this thing, small comparison from the Samsung Galaxy s2 and iPhone4s which could last long in this drop test.Actually it is the fight between the plastic and glass which could make your mind upset if you are a Apple Fan lover. Samsung Galaxy S2 managed with small scratches on it. But the iPhone4s couldn't make it.Actually Siri was pretty scared on drop test what to do..Just kidding..

Two phones were done the test with the three tests with the waist height and shoulder height and face down drop height.So as the leading Smartphone in the world took the chance of dropping on the ground.It couldn't actually survived in the back part of it.The Glass was damaged.The Second Test was done with a shoulder height it managed to drop on the corner of it.So no breakage just a little scratches, here comes to the third drop test the face down drop test. This test made us Sad. The Front glass of the iPhone4s didn't survive in this test. The Glass just broke down. Exactly the same three tests are been done to the Samsung Galaxy S2, it managed to pass all the rounds with high marks.If you want to test it be sure it was insured or try to pay some extra bucks to get a case, So it might be the best choice not to see our device and our heart heartbroken when it gets dropped from our hands.
