Samsung Galaxy S II


I bought a Samsung Galaxy S II recently. A black one indeed. Well I'm gonna start with the packaging first. The phone comes with a very small packaging. The box just literally fit the phone. Inside the box, you can find everything there despite the small packaging. There are a charger, earphone with microphone of course, USB cable, battery, couples of manuals, and definitely the phone. The phone feels pretty solid in my hand and the build quality is pretty good. It feels really light despite the size of the phone. I don't really like the earphone though. It feels like a really cheap earphone. Come on Samsung you should have provided better earphone with this flagship phone.


The phone features a 4.3 inches Super AMOLED Plus screen by Samsung and powered by a massive Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 processor. It has 8 megapixels camera that is capable of recording 1080p video and a 2 megapixels front camera for video calling. The internal memory is 16GB expendable via micro SD card and a 1GB RAM. This phone definitely on top of the rank by looking at the figures only.

This is my first Android phone. The only reason that I bought an Android phone is due to the applications. Android is an open platform so you can get many applications for free legally in the Android Market. For an example, Angry birds is available for free in this platform only. For other platform, you have to pay for it. So that is one of the reason that I bought this phone. Besides, Android is popular with heavy customization. You can actually change everything on the phone according to what you want your phone to look like.

The phone is really fluid. You can go inside and maneuver around the menu and application smoothly. It really delivers a great performance. Everything is so fluid and smooth and I can say it is on par with the iPhone if not better. The screen is really bright and the color is really vivid. In my opinion, it is the best screen on mobile phone. The viewing angle and sunlight eligibility is great.

The things that I like about this phone is it has a great keyboard due to the big screen, a great 8 megapixel camera, great screen, many good games and applications. Overall I think this phone is amazing. It does the job smoothly and it has a lot to offer in term of functionality and also look. So below here you can find the screen shots of the phone.



















And this is the sample photo taken with the camera. Pretty good actually.
