The Samsung Galaxy S was one of the biggest and
best phones of 2010 and showed that there are real
alternatives to the iPhone.

Select a Month... 6

So here we have the hotly anticipated Samsung
Galaxy S 2 which has been packed with the best
features you could ask for in a smartphone.
Looks
This is the saddest part of this review. While the
phone doesn't look bad, Samsung for some reason
feels they need to copy Apple's products almost
exactly, so much so that Apple has decided to sue
them for it.
This would be fine if their devices were inferior and they were targeting fanboys
without any cash but the Galaxy S 2 is a high end phone that gives the iPhone a real run
for it's money, not a cheap wannabe.
As you'll see in the picture, the main difference is the fact that the home button is a
rectangle as oppose to the iPhone's circle. Otherwise, physically, it's kind of difficult to
tell them apart.
Samsung did this with the original Galaxy S resembling the iPhone 3GS and the Galaxy
Ace looking identical to the iPhone 4 too. More so than the Galaxy S 2.
Having said that, I think this phone looks really cool. About as cool as the iPhone 4 but
nevertheless still a good looking phone.

Screen
In a word, gorgeous. The screen is Super AMOLED plus which is bright, vibrant and clear.
The original Galaxy S had a Super AMOLED screen which was fantastic too but the 'Plus'
that's been added helps you look at the screen in direct sunlight and generally looks
sharper.
This screen might be the best on the market. The resolution might not be as good as the
iPhone 4's retina display but it's certainly more of a feast for the eyes.
Pictures jump out at you and anything colourful looks like it's been given the once over
by Disney.
Measuring at 4.3 inches, it's big but not too big. Perfect in fact. Browsing is a joy as this

may be the perfect size for a smartphone.

Put simply the Galaxy S 2 will run on the latest version of Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
That coupled with the fastest processor on the market and you've got one hell of a
speedy phone.

Web browsing is an absolute joy with nearly every website appearing in it's entirety as
well as loading very quickly.

The keyboard has got a nice upgrade with the top row of keys on the on-screen
keyboard now includes numbers, so you can access them with a long press.
Also, if you hold down the number key you can type numbers in, a bit like you would
hold down shift on a keyboard.
Gingerbread also gives games gyroscope support meaning you'll get better motioncontrolled games on Android similar to those on the iPhone.

Samsung's Android skin 'Touchwiz' is good but still not as good as HTC's Sense which
keeps improving. It's still one of the better versions of Android and if you really wanted
to ignore it then you it's as easy as not adding the widgets to your home screen.
I'm not going to go through what each widget does but let's just say that there are
widgets for social media, your diary etc. All of which are good but you can probably get
better free ones in Android Market.

Processor power
The Galaxy S 2 will be one of the most powerful phones on the market, well in the US
and UK anyway. US and UK regions will be receiving a better variant of this phone which
feature a better 1.2Ghz Exynos 4210 chip and Super AMOLED plus display, while other
regions will be receiving a variant which features a 1Ghz Tegra 2 chip and a super clear
LCD display.

The model I reviewed is the US and UK version, thankfully. Not to say that the other
version won't be good, far from it. It'll still be a beast but the US and UK version are just
better, no two ways about it.
You'll struggle to find a more powerful phone on the market. The iPhone 4 might be as
good and the LG Optimus 2X is a definite third but otherwise most phones are single
core.
So what does this mean? Well, it's quicker. It'll process information faster so games and
apps will be fly.
You'll have better quality apps available for it too.
Camera
As with everything in this phone, Smasung have gone for the maximum capacity. A great
rear-facing 8 megapixel camera to snap with and a 2MP front-facing camera for quality
video calling. This compares to the iPhone 4's poor VGA camera.
Samsung have also added some really neat features that make the camera fun such as
the different shots available:
Smile Shot
Beauty Shot
Panorama Shot
Action Shot
Cartoon Short
It has 1080p video capture and supports 1080p HD video playback at 30 frames per
second which is as smooth as silk. I watched the trailer to Suckerpunch and it looked amazing. Especially on that beautiful 4.3 inch Super AMOLED plus screen *drools*
Battery
While the Galaxy S 2 has a li-ion 1650mAh battery which would be massive for most
phones, this phone desperately needs as much juice as it can get due to the two things
that make this phone great: the powerful processor and the amazing screen.
There are phones, such as some of Motorola's offerings, that will come packed with a
lithium 1930 mAh battery which will obviously last longer.
So what does the battery life amount to? Well, the standby time of this battery is 250
hours and talk-time is 9 hours. It sounds good but I haven't been able to properly test
this out. I believe it'll struggle to get to those dizzy heights and will probably need a
charge every night.

Storage
The Galaxy S 2 comes with either 16GB or 32GB internal storage with a microSD card
slot too. This is ample and compares with the iPhone 4, even bettering it due to the
extra external capacity of the microSD slot.
Connectivity
The Galaxy S2 comes with latest connectivity:
WiFi
NFC
4G
Bluetooth 3.0
DLNA
WiFi tethering; and
Full 1080p HDMI connection for TV output
This is top of the range stuff with NFC only available on a couple of handsets including
the Nexus S (also made by Samsung).
4G support will apply to the US and the rest of the world as it's still not available in the

UK.
But this is cutting edge stuff, Bluetooth 3.0 is thrown in too!
Conclusion
And that's really what makes the Samsung Galaxy S 2 the phone it is. Cutting edge.
You want the most powerful phone on the market in pretty much every department?
This is it.
Samsung have spared no expenses from the most powerful processor they could find to
the best screen on the market and every type of connection available.
This phone is top of the range. The latest Android, an 8mp camera, 1080p capture, 32GB
internal storage and a microSD slot and so on!
Absolutely relentless. The phone is a joy to use and you really feel that there is so much
potential there. The original Galaxy S took us into light speed but the Galaxy S 2 takes
the smartphone market into warp speed, literally and metaphorically.
