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
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. Video out requires a separate adapter

Insanely good 4.3″ Super AMOLED + display, Snappy 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, Incredibly thin at 8.49mm, Ability to shoot semi-legible 1080p video, Quadband HSPA+ (21Mbit/7.56Mbit) – Works on every Australian network
Kies syncing software for your PC, Fairly average loudspeaker, TouchWiz, even though it does the job, is too iPhone-ish, No notification LED! 1! *angry face*, No native micro-HDMI connection

1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 4.27 inch screen, 8.5 mm body - enough said
TouchWiz 4.0 does not bring too much to the table, no mini HDMI out, speakerphone a bit soft
The three million customers who placed pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy SII certainly won’t be disappointed. It is one of the best smartphones currently available thanks to not only a wafer-thin design (8.5 mm), but also a 4.27” touch-screen that can ...
