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
Poor keyboard layout
Samsung Apps portal

Plasticky build
Flimsy backplate.
Screen not very bright and doesn't reproduce colours accurately

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
