The Samsung Galaxy S II features one of the best screens available on a smartphone. At 4.2 inches
It's large enough to consume media content with ease
And it's also pin-sharp. Samsung has used AMOLED technology to produce stunning colour reproduction
With vivid hues and deep blacks on offer. The Galaxy S II is also the fastest smartphone we've had the pleasure of using

Plastic shell (but this does make the phone very light for its size)
Design
The Samsung Galaxy S II is very thin
With a light plastic shell that weighs just 116g. It's lighter than the iPh
Expensive
Fragile back cover
Lacks premium feel
Audio can be bettered
No longer the latest Android OS
Filled with app bloatware
Menus are confused in places
Not as user-friendly as HTC and iPhone rivals
Not much unless you are really picky
Succeeds in spite of Samsung's software hubs
Not because of
Flimsy back cover
Poor keyboard layout
Samsung Apps portal
Keen photographers will miss a dedicated shutter key
Plasticky build
Flimsy backplate.
Screen not very bright and doesn't reproduce colours accurately
MHL convertor for HDMI ports not included
Still entirely plastic
Yet another iPhone clone
TouchWiz not for everybody
There's very little to dislike about the Samsung Galaxy S II. The huge screen and skinny casing can make it slightly awkward to hold
And the Android OS gets some slightly useless additions from Samsung
But both of these points are minor niggles.
Unnecessary software
Plastic chassis
Flimsy backplate
Screen may be too large for those with small hands

It's fast, slim and has an excellent screen. Because of its slimness it gets away with that large screen (and remains pocketable). I'd highly recommend it – particularly if you can get it for a good price !...
Abstract: HTC and Samsung have been duelling for the top position in Android phones for the last year or more. With the Galaxy S II, its first dual-core smartphone, Samsung has set the bar very high indeed.Before you even switch it on, the S II looks like a winner....
