The Samsung Galaxy S II is very thin

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 much unless you are really picky
Succeeds in spite of Samsung's software hubs
Not because of
Flimsy back cover

Screen not very bright and doesn't reproduce colours accurately

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

Abstract: Samsung Galaxy SII (Rs 30,000): at a time when most sequels (Like Hangover 2) didn't quite measure up here's one that actually works. Hot on the heels of the Samsung blockbuster Galaxy S comes the SII with its bold 4.27 inch ‘Super Amoled Plus' display, a...
Abstract: The Galaxy S II has been one of those handsets that the mobile community has been craving for. Sure we have the iPhone 4, but S II was, as far as I was concerned, to be the next best thing or the alternative for those with lower budgets. A few week...
Abstract: Samsung has done much to improve its previous stellar smartphone the Galaxy S , pulling out all the stops with the next-in-line Galaxy S II i9100. It's squeezed its best-quality 4.3-inch screen, an 8MP camera and a super-fast dual-core processor into a su...
Absurdly powerful and having a one-of-a-kind screen – the Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II is an easy phone to recommend. But that's one thing you don't need to do. Its reputation precedes it. The Galaxy II succeeds where previous dual-core droids have failed an...
