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
With the Gingerbread ve

The editors didn't like

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
Very fast processor and 3G/4G data, Excellent, huge Super AMOLED Plus display, Very thin but still has ample builtin and microSD storage, TouchWiz generally helps, Good cameras for photos and 1080p videos, Unusually good battery life, Topflight call quality, DLNA media sharing and Kies Air/WiFi sync,
Some TouchWiz, Samsung apps flawed, At times a touch too iPhonelike for Android diehards, May be too big for smaller hands, Question of longterm OS update support,
The beauty and danger of Android's flexibility is that it's possible to either get the hardware or software very right or very wrong. We've seen more than a few devices this year that were either flawed genius or, in extremes, were ruined by poor custo...
1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Plus display, Thinner and lighter than rivals, TouchWiz 4.0 overlay is genuinely useful
Expensive, No qHD resolution, No microSD card included
Put simply, the Galaxy S II is possibly the best Android phone we've laid our hands on to date. Of course, the qualifier to that statement is that new Android phones are hitting the market on what seems like a weekly basis, so the champ today may not be t...
Abstract: Probably one of the chief reasons that the major mobile carriers in the United States have been mum about the Samsung Galaxy S II's arrival on American shores is that the blockbuster Samsung smartphone is not arriving at all as the black slab of beauty an...
Abstract: With the dual-core chipsets from Texas Instruments (OMAP), NVIDIA (Tegra) and Samsung (Exynos) all making their way into devices and our hands in the last couple of months, we wanted to see how each compared to each other in a series of Android benchmarks...
It’s hard to find fault with the Samsung Galaxy S II. Really. Sure you can point out the (Notoriously Samsung) plastic build quality, but the screen is gorgeous, the hardware is ridiculously powerful with plenty of horsepower, and it seems to succeed ...
So, that's pretty much my experience with this phone. The Samsung Galaxy S2 is the best phone I've had in a while and 3 million folks out there will likely agree with me. The only thing missing for me is a dock ala Atrix to turn it into a full-fledged c...
Samsung clearly aimed high with the Galaxy S II. In fact, you could say they aimed for the sta- no, I hate puns. The phone's performance was stell- ah, damn it. Whether you like puns or not, the Galaxy S II is a device that has exceedingly high perform...
It's the best phone I've used to date – I'm talking ever, and I go through a lot of phones. Since opening the pretty black package and firing it up for the first time almost 3 weeks ago now, I haven't been able to put it down. I'm constantly finding rea...
The Samsung Galaxy S II raises the bar significantly with its long list of technological treats that will certainly enamor many consumers for a long time to come. Some will expectedly turn away from it because of its battery power limitations, but this...
