Under Review: Samsung Galaxy S2

Design

The Samsung Galaxy S2 is slim and light – it’s plastic body together with the battery weighs only 116g whilst also giving off a feel of solid construction.

Display
It’s screen is very bright, all the colors are eye-popping and very beautiful, and they don’t darken or fade when you look at the screen at an angle. It’s great for watching movies and even for playing HD games (there are plenty of them in Android Market).

Processor
The Samsung Galaxy S2 boasts a 1.2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor that provides really fast performance without any delay. Web browsing is very quick even via Wi-Fi networks.

Camera
The Samsung Galaxy S2 has a good 8MP camera with auto-focus and LED flash that takes 3264 x 2448 photos and 1080p videos at 30fps.

Platform
Android the Samsung Galaxy S2 runs is the most popular platform at the moment, famous for being easy to customize and for having a huge number of apps in Android Market, too.

Conclusion
This is the first Android phone that I have used and I was very impressed. It was fast, easier to use for web browsing and apps use than, my smart phone of choice, the BlackBerry, and after a while I got used to using the touch screen instead of hard keyboard. Buyers should definitely look at this phone before automatically going to buy an iPhone 4S.
