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
The Samsung Galaxy S II supports T-Mobile's faster HSPA+ network and has a dual-core 1.5GHz processor and an NFC chip. The Android Gingerbread smartphone also has a spacious and vibrant Super AMOLED Plus touch screen, 16GB of internal memory, and great ca
The smartphone is high-priced and on the larger side, and you can't remove bloatware
The Samsung Galaxy S II ranks as one of T-Mobile's most powerful and feature-rich Android smartphones, but it's somewhat pricey....
Abstract: Since the iPhone 4S has just been announced by Apple, we thought we'd put it head to head against some of the leading Android devices currently available and the rumoured specs of the Nexus Prime. All of them are dual-core, all of them are sparkly, but so...
The Samsung Galaxy S II boasts a beautiful display and a thin design. With a dual-core processor, the Gingerbread device delivers fast performance, as well as good battery life. Camera quality is excellent
Some parts of the phone feel flimsy

It's a little hard to discuss the Galaxy S II without sound like a kool-aid drinker, but the phone is nothing short of remarkable. Its power is unrivalled, its 4.3in is wonderfully bright and colourful, call quality is great and the camera is simply super...

The Galaxy S was designed to take on the iPhone 4, and despite its warts (sluggish performance, short battery life), it was one of the first real challengers to the Apple empire. We're guessing that Samsung had the impending iPhone 5 in mind when it buil...
Samsung's overlay to Android has some very interesting features this time around; Latest version of Android (Android 2.3 Gingerbread); One of the thinnest and lightest phones we've ever felt
Plastic casing makes it feel a little cheap; Software can be buggy
Samsung’s second effort to topple the juggernaut iPhone comes out a success, a worthy competitor that manages to do some things even Apple hasn’t thought of. It’s not perfect – nothing ever is – but it’s easily one of the better examples of an Android...

The Samsung Galaxy S II is everything you could hope for in an Android smartphone. It has a huge screen, excellent battery life, a suite of arresting software and it zips along at a blitzkrieg pace. Based on our first look, we'd call it one of the best sm...
Lightning fast performance, Super AMOLED Plus is fantastic, Camera is amongst the best we've seen, TouchWiz 4.0 has some neat shortcuts
Battery life is disappointing, Videoout requires a separate adapter
If it wasn't for its disappointing battery life, the Galaxy S II would be our favourite phone of the year to date. Samsung builds on the success of the original Galaxy with a really fast, attractive and fully featured phone, but one that requires a lot...
