The editors didn't like

  • Slightly reduced battery life (improved with firmware updates)
  • 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
  • Screen resolution could be higher
  • MicroSD card slot is under the battery
  • Too large for some
  • Plastic build doesn't feel premium
  • Poor call quality

  • The Samsung Galaxy S II 4G sports a large and vivid 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus display. Powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, the phone also runs Android 4.0 and is 4G-capable. Camera quality is also excellent
  • Call quality could be better. The device is large and has a plasticky build
  • Despite its age, the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G offers solid performance, a vibrant screen, and a great multimedia experience, which makes it the top dog on Boost Mobile....

  • Superfast reaction times, Slim design, Ridiculously clear screen, Clear call quality, 1080p video recording
  • Flimsy back cover, Poor keyboard layout, Samsung Apps portal
  • And so we come to the end of our epic Samsung Galaxy S2 review – and we know some of you might have jumped straight here to see what we think. However, if you're considering purchasing this phone, we recommend you take a look through our review, as there'...

  • Great performance. Solid battery life. Great 4G speeds, when in coverage. Good 8-megapixel camera
  • Slightly thicker and heavier than the Galaxy S II. Larger screen needs a higher resolution. Older version of Android
  • The Galaxy S II 4G represents the best of last year's technology. It's fast, in more ways than one, and battery life is good. But when you're paying full price, don't you want the latest and greatest?...

  • Fast 4G speeds, 4.5in display, Slick performance
  • Limited 4G coverage, Screen resolution outdated, Thicker, heavier than 3G model
  • If you desperately need or want 4G connectivity on your phone and live or work in an area that's effectively serviced by Telstra's 4G network, the Galaxy S II 4G's fast data speeds will certainly impress you. However, newer phones like the HTC One X and S...

  • It's great that there's some choice in the 4G smartphone world, and our tests to date seem to indicate that the 4G phones have a slight edge when it comes to getting reliable 4G signal over 4G hotspots and USB modems. The Galaxy S II remains an excellent...

  • The Samsung Galaxy S II has a large, beautiful 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, a great 8-megapixel camera and 2-megapixel front-facing camera, and 16GB built-in storage
  • U.S. Cellular's Samsung Galaxy S II has a slower network. It's significantly pricier than other handsets in the carrier's lineup
  • With venerable specs, including a terrific camera and large, beautiful screen, the Samsung Galaxy S II is holding true to its claim to fame as the everyman's high-end Android phone....

  • Abstract:  Let me start by saying… what a relief!When I upgraded from my HTC Desire HD to the Samsung Galaxy S2, I had no idea how much of an upgrade I was really getting. Sure, I knew the specs for these bad boys, but it's only now I own one that I fully understand...

  • The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket has a beautiful 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus display along with a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, an NFC chip, and support for AT&T's LTE network. It ships with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and has an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p
  • AT&T's LTE network is only available in a few cities at the time of the Skyrocket's launch, it has a somewhat cheap, plastic feel, and you can't remove bloatware
  • If you live in an area that gets AT&T's LTE network, we highly recommend the powerful and beautiful Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket....
