Samsung Galaxy S2 Review

Users Rating 91%

Experts Rating 85%

On paper the Samsung Galaxy S2 is a worthy successor to the much praised Galaxy S, with a large great quality screen, quick dual core processor and quality 8 meg camera, but is it really as good as the specs make it seem? What follows is some of the praise and problems that owners of the phone have experienced.

Praise

Owners love the size and quality of the screen and are very impressed with the speed which the phone loads. The camera also comes in for much praise, with people very pleased with the quality of stills and high-definition video. People also really like the massive amount of features and light weight despite it's size.

Problems

People that own the Galaxy S2 don't seem to have much to complain about. Some users have a problem with the battery life, but based on how good users rate it this could be down to the amount of time that they find themselves using it for. The back of the case has come in for some criticism for being too flimsy and could do with a protective case.

Conclusion

This is currently the best Android phone based on what owners think of it, with some that have owned both even claiming it embarrasses the iPhone 4.
