This phone is well worth the money. It is the fastest mobile I have ever used, it blows the competitions out of the water! The specifications on the device is purely high-end and the best out there. Samsung's Exynos processor powering this phone is not only the fastest but its also very green on battery consumption. The Super AMOLED Plus display is amazing and clearly visible in broad daylight. The entire build is almost perfect, whether its the light weight or the super thin profile. The camera quality is top notch for a cellular device, I don't have to worry about not having a dedicated camera as this phone can substitute that. It did not win the Global Mobile Award for Best Smartphone of 2012 for no reason.
I've had everything from HTC Evo's to Windows phones, and this is by FAR the best Android phone I've ever owned. Great battery life (for an Android). I get over 20 hours with moderate to heavy usage. Gorgeous display. Super thin. Tons of really USEFUL widgets. Instead of the widgets that look cool on most phones, but really don't do anything but drain your battery. I'd recommend this phone to anyone!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, very thin, easy to learn
I have had nothing but trouble with this phone since I got it. It crashes all the time, freezes up atleast 3 times a day (and i only have like 4 apps on it) and "force closes" all the time. I would not recommend this phone!
Based on my needs, I moved from an iPhone 4 to the Galaxy S2. I had heard a lot about it, did my homework and picked this model. What an awesome phone. Speedy, great battery, thin, light durable - a good all round phone. My wife borrowed this phone and I am not getting it back.
After doing some deep research and playing with a lot of phones, I decided to go with the Galaxy S II i777. I have heard others complain about this phone not having "4G LTE" capabilities but the fact of the matter is that this phone is FAST. Aside from the fact that "4G" via HSPA+ is plenty fast, putting a Snapdragon processor in this phone would do it an extreme injustice. I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone who is looking for a LASTING, quality item! I am extremely happy with the decision I made and would not hesitate to make it again.
Although the Super AMOLED Plus display is crystal clear and replicates colors flawlessly, the only thing I would like to see is possibly a firmware update that would allow for a higher resolution.
