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

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

This is my third Android smartphone I've used through T-Mobile and the Samsung Galaxy S II is by far the fastest and most complete Android-based phone I've used to date. The combination of Gingerbread and TouchWiz made my entire experience with the Galaxy...
If you somehow don’t mind paying a huge premium right now, or simply have an unlimited cash flow, we definitely recommend checking out the Motorola DROID BIONIC because it’s seriously the most future-proof device out of the three. Yes, it’s priced sig...
The HTC Amaze 4G and Samsung Galaxy S II are superphones that take a different approach. HTC comes at you with blunt force, with a bold and brash design. The Galaxy goes about it with sleek and sexy. With nearly identical hardware and similar performa...
Super Amoled Plus screens are so clear, very nice Front and rear cameras, Dual Core 1.2 and 1.5 ghz, Android 2.3, The voice commands are impeccable
The earpiece speaker experienced a bit of distortion and made it hard to hear, sometimes turning the volume down can fix it, but it never should have been an issue, Conclusions & Final Thoughts, I am a huge fan of all three of these, I want one on Sprint
I am a huge fan of all three of these, I want one on Sprint as soon as possible. They are very nice in so many ways. Even though they are not QHD they are still very good and crisp. The cameras are a huge selling point as any one can get a clear shot wi...
Review: Samsung Galaxy S II for T-Mobile Form Basics Extras Wrap-up Comments Like the HTC Amaze 4G, the Samsung Galaxy S II is a top-of-the-line smartphone on the T-Mobile network. It checks off the bulk of today's most-wanted features, and does so in ...

Faced with the challenge of the popular and capable iPhone, Samsung pulled out all the stops with the Galaxy S II, summoning its vast technological prowess in so many areas to produce a phone that really shines. From the "insanely great" moni...

Huge and colorful display, thin design, very fast, great reception, 1080p HD video, large battery
Boring design, large pixels on the screen, not the best low light focusing
