I think that this phone is great and for young adults (I'm 18) it is really useful because of the amount and different apps that can be downloaded. I got an app that shows my timetable on and... more

    5 Stars In a galaxy not so far away..... 27/02/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful 4" screen, music player, video recorder, great for internet

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery takes an age to charge and would probably be better lasting longer

    As upgrade time reared it’s head once more I decided it was just about time to forget about the low to mid range phones and cheaper contracts and go for something top of the range. While for many top of the range automatically equates to the iPhone, I’m a little different and have a huge dislike for the iconic Apple brand and was looking for something running the Android OS. With my previous three phones being Samsung, I felt it was best to stick to a brand I trusted and so I picked the Samsung Galaxy S2 as an upgrade from my Galaxy Europa. I received my phone free as part of a 24 month ... more

    5 Stars Take you to another galaxy... 01/08/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Amazing design, loads of apps, so quick

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite pricey but so what?

    For a number of years now I have been a firm fan of Apple and their products, purchasing every iPhone that has been released including the iPhone 4. I am always amazed at them and never thought I could be persuaded into buying a different type of phone, but how wrong was I? My friend purchased this phone upon its release and had a difficult job getting me off it once she had it in hand. I am now in love! The Samsung Galaxy S II is the latest model of touchscreen smartphone that has been released by Samsung, having been developed from a slightly lower specification and older model, the Samsung ... more

    5 Stars The S2: A slim, very clever smartphone. 01/08/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Everything! So easy to use, does anything you want, lots of functions

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Price.. but no more than any other smartphone.

    Well, I'll start my review by stating this is my first smartphone, so I can't compare to any I've actually owned before, though I did look at a LOT before deciding on this phone. It's only been out a short while and so I've not had it very long, but I've had a play with enough of it to write a rounded review. First looks: No matter how much we like to say it's how it works that matters, I doubt looks ever are not a criteria for buying a phone like this. And I must say, the Galaxy S2 does not fall down. It measures a very sleek 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5mm - making it as far as I can tell, the thinnest ... more

    5 Stars Samsung, in its own galaxy s2? 19/01/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages light-weight, easy to use, range of functions and much more...

    Disadvantages Disadvantages short battery life and its so slim you can lose it in your pocket

    I finally managed to get a contract phone 3 months ago and this was my phone choice. After much deliberation, about a years worth, this phone came out and it ticked all the right boxes. The phone looked good, it was fast, it had the latest android software, in-built memory and tons more. So I decided that I would take a voyage into the wonders of the galaxy and this is what I found.The first impressionWhen I first took the phone out of its box the first impression was good. The box itself was very basic, just a black box with some words written on it, but this just added to my excitement, as ... more

    4 Stars An excellent phone with a few faults 08/03/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Large screen, excellent graphics and super fast

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too many updates, software issues, rubbish battery life

    I honestly couldn't wait till my contract was up for renewal to get this phone. I've never wanted an Iphone, but was instantly drawn to this phone. I now totally understand why it was voted phone of the year in 2011. I had the Samsung Galaxy S2 in black for six months, but due to a 'common software problem', I was told the black one was out of stock, so I took the white one instead. Where the hell have I been all my life? Looks wise, the Galaxy S2 looks really simple, whilst being smart at the same time. It has a large screen, with 'Samsung' written in bold at the top. It is the slimmest and ... more
