if your really in a tight budget and your not planning to use it for phone calls and text messaging i think the aurora II will better suit your needs. closest to the specs of galaxy s2 at a price off less than 8k in our local distributor in cebu. i really don't recommend buying exclusive brands since technology nowadays evolves really fast. the what you call hi-end of today will become obsolete over the next 4-6 months. better based your criteria on specs and support rather than fads and brands.
