So theres no NFC for the uk version?
And apparently present in the Korean version when released?
Anyone know about versions in other regions?
Yeah, our korea Galaxy S2 will be released today or tomorrow. (It's KST - GMT +09 time)
Perfectly Korean version include NFC function.
But, korean version S2 too many localised to Korea
(like non-standard mms spec, smaller frequencies support than EU version,many bloat ware...ETC)
detail symptom is refer that my link.

Thanks.
It was apparently to keep the device as thin as possible. Some GS2's outside of the UK, the US and east asia will also be running on Tegra 2 and SLCD.

It's a 1.2 GHz Exynos now, not 1 GHz.
Is there any info for NFC for any other region?
I'd love to play with an exynos... but I much rather having one that has NFC considering I have the atrix... so the performance on exynos over tegra isnt that important but I'd love to experiment with nfc...
Also is the mms + sms difference in the korean version hardware or software?
As it has an unlocked bootloader, if its just software then I wont worry too much XD

MMS spec is perfectly different.
Most of GSM carrier use OMA-MMS. but korea SKTelecom use theris own SK-MMS spec. Framework layer and application layer are PERFECTLY different.
If only application problem, you will replace another sms application (like handcent) but, framework problem is critical issue. If you fixed this problem, you will modify GS2 SMS/MMS framework. may be impossible.
And our Korea galaxy S1 can't buff from XDA. because not global model its korea localised model.
I think GS2 may be same..
So I recommend that buy your region's i9100 model or wait a SG2 later model.(like SG3?!)
So it will be unlikely that the korean version's software can be replaced with the international version then?
Sigh... Thats unfortunate then
Just saw an ad that linked to this site:
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/10.1/spec.html
Was wondering why this one has a Samsung logo on the front, and lists some different specs....
Is there an updated version in the works? Or was this site just made before the actual product was finalized?
I just picked up the Tab for free with the Best Buy promotion, so I was just curious if maybe this is why they were giving them away for free.....
Thoughts?

Both OP's link and posted Samsung UK spec point to 3G version of the tab, not Wi-Fi version. US Wi-Fi retail version doesn't have Samsung log on the front.

Ahhh, this clarifies things....lol....
I also just noticed on the bottom of the screen it says "Some specifications may vary by country."
I wonder why they decided to not include the Samsung logo on the wifi versions.

Hi Guys,
Do our galaxy support GLONASS.
I believe Galaxy note is having GLONASS support and using same processor as S2.

No GLONASS is not supported on GS2, only Galaxy Note
I dont think GLONASS has anything to do with the processor.

Today Qualcomm announced that any device with a Snapdragon S2 or S3 processor is capable of accessing both satellite networks, but the feature must be enabled by the carrier on each specific device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395095

This question about GLONASS-support is relevant indeed, because we really know that S2 has the same processor as Note. But could somebody tell, if some kind of firmware-update (or hack) could be made to activate the support? The location-chip in S2 is obviously different than that in Note...

Hello. I bought a South Korean S21 Ultra 5G. I'm trying to use the features of the US such as Samsung pay and also remove camera clicker which is automatically on all the time. Im trying to see if anyone has successfully flashed over a rom on chipset Exynos 2100. Thank you in advance.

Hi
US rom ( snapdragon) over an exynos device.. not possible, totally different animals.
Samsung pay is very picky if your csc is different than your samsung pay account country it will not work...
I bought this phone expecting it to have FM Radio since multiple spec sites said it does, and quite a few review videos on YouTube show the Radio app in the Samsung folder, but I bought it and it's nowhere to be found. It's not hidden in the system apps, I'm not able to get the Samsung Radio APK to install, and when I try to clone that APK, it keeps crashing. Is there any way to find out if my specific model has it, and if not, which model numbers of this phone DO support FM Radio

I just saw that the A52 includes radio. Since I only have the a52s and this model do not have radio I mistakenly concluded that the A52 also did not have radio. I was wrong, A52 LTE and A52 5G have FM radio.

I see, but my A52 5G doesn't have it, even though it says that it should and I have seen reviews on this phone that feature the stock Samsung Radio App. Do you know which model numbers of this phone support it?

There weren't any videos talking about FM Radio on this phone, but I did see a few reviews of this phone on YouTube, and in those reviews, when they would swipe up and show the app drawer, I would see the Stock Radio app in a folder labeled "Samsung"

Two theories :
- Might be an International model
- or this ain't be a FM Radio but an internet radio
What you can do is going into the Samsung app store and try to find out the radio app with the same icon...

Its not an internet radio thing, I have used that app before on a Samsung Galaxy S10+ and it's supposed to be a full fledge working FM Radio, and I looked up my Model and it says it's the American version of the Galaxy A52 5G (which is more evident bc when turning on the phone, the T-Mobile loading screen shows up). I already looked on the Galaxy Store and it is not on there. I downloaded the APK for that app and it wouldn't let me install it
GSMArena, https://www.gsmarena.com/ lists the A52 LTE and the A52 5G in the specs as having hardware FM radio. The A52s they say have no radio.

I know. I don't have the A52s, I have the A52S 5G. I specifically avoided the A52s because it did not have FM Radio capability
I have a 5G version (SM-A526B/DS) that as FM radio. I believe there's a 4G version also with it.

Only exist's 3 models - A52, A52 5G and A52s 5G, you are confused the A52 and A52 5G have radio, the A52s 5G don't have any radio hardware.
I have the SM-A526W, A52 5G (Canada), and there is no radio hardware or its hidden. I tried using NextRadio app which works with the tuner in your phone and it cannot detect the FM radio tuner in the phone.
I think the specs are wrong on the gsmarena site and others like it.....maybe I'm wrong though. If you have a a52 5g with a radio please let us know.
A52 LTE and A52 5G have FM radio.

I can confirm this. Yes it does.
I posted this in July 2021 in this post : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/fm-receiver-or-not.4307531/
I sent an inquiry mail to Samsung, and they answered me it was a regional/local thing : some have an FM radio chip and some don't have. I bought my A52 5G in France, and it has no radio. Whereas Belgian buyers have it...
A526u1 doesn't seem to have it.
Nextradio says it "doesn't have access to the FM radio receiver inside your device"
and to let your carrier know you'd like to use it.
By the wording the chip is there but, it is deactivated?
Dear friends,
I read on gsmarena that the A52 5g has an fm radio.
After that, I bought it here in Greece, but when I opened it, I didn't find a radio app.
I don't know if it has the fm radio chip.
Is there any chance it has it disabled and I can somehow enable it?
What do you say;
Thanks!

Maybe people should try to install Belgium firmware. FM radio usually requires some libs and permissions and if you're app is missing from the drawer, then most likely you don't have them so simply installing the FM radio app won't work.

There are in fact two 5G A52 Models with NO fm Radio.
Yours is unfortunately one of them.
1. Canada single SIM A52 A526W 5G- no fm radio
2. US single SIM A52 A526U 5G - no fm radio
I'm in Canada and found out the hard way. I bought a new US A52 A526U 5G off of Ebay and sure enough, no fm radio. Learned both models, US A526U 5G and Canada A526W 5G, don't have fm radio, even though online specs lists them as having fm radio.
BUT THESE 2 INTERNATIONAL Dual Sim models have FM radio:
3. A52 A526B/DS 5G (UK and international) double SIM.
YES it has FM radio. I bought one off Ebay from a UK seller, after reading these forums seeing people with model A526B report they have it, and sure enough, it has FM radio.
4. A52 A526M/DS LTE (4G) (certain latin America countries) double SIM.
YES it has FM radio. I reached out to Amazon seller and posted questions and all who bought that phone for sale, had FM radio installed.
*So, BUYERS BEWARE of both Canada single sim model A526W 5G and USA single sim model A526U 5G, as they do NOT have fm radio. (Yet specs list them as having it.)
*These for sure have fm radio. International Dual SIms have it. An international 5G (A526B/DS) and an international LTE (A5252M/DS),
*A525F/DS LTE is Europe, global, and International, so it might have fm radio as well, since London people are saying they have fm radio in the A525B/DS Europe, global, and International as well.
-Phonemore specs drop down lists the models. Click on the model drop down. But don't go by all the specs as said above, because 2 of their single SIM models (Canada and USA) are listed as having fm radio, and they don't have it.
