Slim, perfectly sized, lag-free, fast page load, and a gorgeous AMOLED screen make this phone near perfect. Kudos to Samsung for fixing the capacitive back-light issue and taking on their Achilles heel -- web page load speed -- turning it into a big positive. Kudos to AT&T for having the intelligence and restraint in keeping as close to the international version -- name and all -- as possible. The only improvement desired is a textured or rubberized perimeter for better grip. Samsung made a bold statement, after the Froyo debacle with the original Galaxy S, by delivering sample phones to Cyanogen Mod developers and others prior to release. Samsung wants to replace Apple as the premier technology OEM and the Galaxy SII is the standard bearer of that offensive -- a battle in which customers reap the rewards.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, lag-free, fast web page load time, current version of android
I have to say, I have been waiting for a phone like this for a long time. The Galaxy S II has everything I've ever wanted - wireless connectivity, 1080p video, media sharing, you name it. I love the fact that it has both an 8mp camera and a 2mp front-facing camera as well. The pre-packaged apps are great too. KiesAir is a lot of fun, because you can view every single thing about your phone - call logs, text messages, in addition to all your pictures, video, and music. VPN access for those who want to ensure a secure connection to your network is an awesome bonus. The SuperAMOLED Plus screen is stunning, and the super-fast dual core processor means smooth video playback. And of course, the fact that it's an Android phone means all the apps you can want.
I have been using Samsung phones for several years, including Blackjack II, Galaxy S Captivate, and now the Galaxy S II. All have been great phones, but the GSII is the killer! I have four smart phones on my plan (3 iPhone 4s and my Android), and there is no comparison. I consider myself a power-user, having done extensive work on my original Cappy (root, a variety of custom ROMs, etc.) and don't yet see any reason to take this phone out of the stock condition I bought it in.And, after taking it off the charger at 5:30 AM, it still has 50% battery remaining ast 3:00. Yeah!!!!! Thank you Samsung!
This Phone has a sleek design, it's thin and bright! Great features, I've only had it for a day and no problems so far. The only thing I don't like is the battery door, it's a thin plastic cover (Kinda cheap) but hey it keeps the thickness of the phone to a minimal. So cant really complain
Never slows down. Instant GPS locking. Awesome battery life. Great camera. Tethers via USB and WiFi. SAMOLED Plus display with out PenTile Matrix looks 10x better than the original Galaxy S. I have both and there's a difference.
Look, this is a dream phone, I've yet to find a mishap on this thing.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast, sleek case square edges, amazing camera
