Dear Samsung, you did a great job with Galaxy S II phone that I recently purchased. The phone is sleek, thin, lightweight, very bright screen, great resolution, fast speed, very user friendly in my opinion and has great photo/video capabilities. I wished battery life could be more than 1 day but I am running lots of services and things throughout the day and always keep a charger handy. I am surrounded with iphone folks here at the office and everyone is very impressed with my Galaxy S II. What a wonderful phone to have. I am very excited to use this product from Samsung. Keep this up!
The phone's greatest asset is the display. The corning gorilla glass really tops off the superior display.
The con I mentioned is that the speaker on the phone is somwhat monoish - so playing long videos isn't the greatest experience.
However, the 3.5mm headphone jack makes up for this - great clarity and no distorions.
All of my applications run quickly and have no issues. I cannot vouch for battery life as I haven't used the phone long enough, but even with the screen display at the lowest brightness setting its fully usable without squinting.
I was worried that the size of the device was going to be too large, however its just the right size to have a decent screen size and still fit in your hand. It's also very very lightweight.
Together with its vivid screen, performance (processors), and lightweight, I feel this is a great phone.
Fantastic phone, hits all the right design aspects I look for when getting a phone. Thin, Big Screen, fast. So far I'm loving it. I only have a minor annoyance regarding not being able to dial a contact by simply tapping on their name.
