Samsung Galaxy S II

Sorry I have not been posting as My exams were going on. If any of you were wondering how they were? Well they were good.

The Samsung Galaxy S II is a smart phone built to balance multimedia functions with support for business applications. It runs the Android operating system on a dual-core 1Ghz CPU, and uses a 4.3 inch "SUPER AMOLED Plus" display that uses less energy than a regular AMOLED display with more pixels and a thinner profile.

The built-in web browser is full-featured for a PC-like browsing experience, and a number of WiFi connections are supported for increased connectivity. HSPA+ and DLNA wireless protocols are made available for high-definition streaming of content to external displays at full 1080p. The built-in 8 megapixel camera can also record in full 1080p. Connection to business applications include full VPN support, Mobile Device Management, and complete support for Cisco WebEx.

What I liked?

stunning 4.3" Super AMOLED Plus display (800 x 480px) - deep blacks, bright, great viewing angles

extremely thin at 8.5mm (0.33") - thinner than the Sony Xperia Arc (8.7mm at its thinnest)

top 3.5mm headphone jack, physical volume rocker

standard micro-USB port

runs a powerful dual-core 1.2GHz ARMv7 processor

runs the latest version of the open source Android operating system (2.3)

What I dint like?

There is not much ...

not a qHD display (960 x 540) could have been higher for a screen this big.

no dedicated camera button for the 8mp snapper.

non-vanilla TouchWiz modifications - not as good as stock Android, slows down phone upgrades. could have been better.

The phone is a great phone and a good step ahead with the processor. Going this way we will soon get phones that are more powerful than our Pcs.
