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

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
I loved the little Samsung tweaks. They're not “in your face”. They're not annoying. They're brilliant. The Kies Air app is stunning. The Hubs, whilst mostly out-sourced, help to aggregate content that would normally just get dumped in the apps-list. The...
Although it would benefit from a build quality that befits its premium price, that’s the only real complaint we can level at the Samsung Galaxy S II. This is by far the best Android smartphone we’ve seen and anyone currently eyeing up an iPhone 4 shoul...

There’s plenty more in terms of software we could go into, from the excellent contact linking to the integrated task killer and the dead-easy DLNA sharing software, AllShare, but what you really want to read is our final verdict on the Samsung Galaxy S...
Beautiful 4.3-inch screen; insanely slim and light; very fast; great camera; attractive design; endless features and customisation options
Filled with app bloatware; menus are confused in places; not as user-friendly as HTC and iPhone rivals
Samsung's managed to cram a gorgeous display, lightning-fast processor and a powerful camera into one of the slimmest, lightest mobiles we've ever had the privelege to hold. The Android operating system's never felt faster, and there are even some usef...
The Samsung Galaxy S II is better than any other Android smartphone to have hit the market so far. It has everything you could want and will need and each of those functions it more or less excels at. It’s fast, it’s bright, it’s clear and, joy of joys...
It’s a fantastic phone that's has been cleverly created to age as well as a smartphone can, with a high-speed dual-core processor, wireless syncing to your computer and the very latest version of Android.That luscious screen stands alongside the iPhone...
