Prior to becoming a Samsung customer, I've sampled every top selling Android brand available. I concluded that Samsung has packaged the best of everything into their smartphones and decided to purchase a Galaxy S in 2010.
A couple of weeks ago in my search for the latest and greatest, I purchased the new Galaxy SII on the first day it was available. This is an unbelievably FAST, feature-filled smartphone. Would recommended to anyone looking for the phone with the 'complete package'! Being a former iPhone owner, and recently testing the iPhone 4S, I would say the Galaxy S II wins in comparison. While the iPhone 4S is a good performer, the Samsung internet experience is faster and with Flash, smooth as silk, and incredibly less fragile than the iPhone. You also get to enjoy the freedom of Android and don't have to be shackled by the proprietary nonsense of Apple.
In searching for a negative, I believe that the Samsung WIFI connection needs to be stronger.
So if you're looking for a 'smart' smartphone with it all, the Samsung Galaxy IIS is the best there is right now!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, very fast processor
Just upgraded from my Captivate (which I loved!) and so glad I did! This phone is simply awesome. Great display, fantastic performance, wireless is blazing fast, and the 4G/HSPA+ is certainly leaps and bounds over 3G, even in non-4G areas. The only thing I don't like, is that I find myself playing with it constantly and not getting enough actual work done ;-)
i'm a new android and samsung user. the GS2 has met and exceeded almost all of my expectations. prior to this i was a die hard blackberry user. absolutely no regrets about making the switch.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, lightening fast, can use features almost totally hands free
Cons: Too big, no external led display, wish email program was a little more comprehensive, not totally happy with voicemail notification, no dual camera feature
When I bought the phone, I already knew I was receiving a piece of pure and raw power with a design and features that appealed to me more so than any other phone out there.
I can't find anything wrong with this device. Battery life is beyond what I expected, lasting me a good 2 days on heavy usage and constant gaming. I love the social interaction with the phone and the speed of the phone itself and my wireless provider.
I can't complain. Happy customer.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, pure power
i had my blackberry 8900 for a couple years before i upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S2. i was hesitant to upgrade. i was pushing more towards the iphone 5 but when i found out it was a 4s and NOT 4G i went for this. The screen is huge and the weight of the phone is awesome. fits in my back pocket. I'm still fooling around with all the features and it amazes me everytime. i'm glad i made this choice.
Having used mobile phones from various makers since the time of bag phones... The Galaxy S II, is the phone by which all others should be judged! Easy to use, manages all aspects of life that you desire...
Recommended to all... And Samsung has a great reputation for standing behind thier products!
