This Phone Has it all - Samsung Galaxy S II
Review with images
21/05/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages Front camera, though it is a 2MP, but is better than a 2mp
Disadvantages it gets stalled sometimes and at times i have to restart my mob to get to the wifi

I own an S II and must say it is one phone which is a must have. It has got everything starting from a GPS to Cameras (Front & Back). It has got a good battery life too. Ive been using it for more than a year and for a guy who changes his mobile every year, i don feel like giving it off. It is a very good product and worth every penny. it is also very sleek, unlike the other mobiles its not heavy and the best part is in case you own a tight jeans, then the S II is the best mobile id say because it is for me. I can easily hold it in my hand. Talking about its durability, this poor thing has ... more

Good choice of smarthphone 13/05/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Disadvantages battery life

I have tried a variety of different smartphones and I have to say the SII has come out on top. The screen is bright, you can customise your home and application screens to how you want and the variety of apps they have in the google play store is amazing! When choosing my phone I was slightly concerned about the size of the screen but it has not been a problem at all. I also like my phone to have a good camera as I like to take lots of photos day to day and the camera on the SII is absolutely brilliant! It's also a great phone for internet, social media and emails. I would recommend this phone ... more

Great Andriod 03/05/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages Light weight, easy to navigate, long battery life.
Disadvantages no Itunes

Needed an android phone after reluctantly giving up my Iphone due to high tarrif and the battery always dying on me. I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised by this phone. It has given me everything that I got from my Iphone bar the music but I still use my Iphone as an ipod anyway. Really easy to navigate round all the features. Battery life so much better then the Iphone and the phone itself is so much lighter. I love the size of the screen especially when emailing and texting - it makes a lot of difference as you get to see everything you are writing! Because there is a main app ... more

Samsung GALAXY S II 26/04/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages Looks great and is very light
Disadvantages Battery lasts for no more than 3 hours of continuous use. A bit big for small hands

I've had this phone for over a year and it has proven to withstand fall after fall. The looks of this phone is beyond cool looking and it is so light in the hand that i nearly even notice that it's there. the down sides to this phone however is the size and battery life. if you have small to adverse size hands, this phone may be a little large for you, also the battery life on this phone drains extremely fast. Even when I'm not on my phone the battery drains about 10 present every hour its "sleeping." it take anywhere between 4-5 hours just to get a full chug on it when starting from a dead ... more

The Samsung SII- A Quality Android Product 15/04/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages The camera, the operating system, the layout, the messaging input, picture editing tools
Disadvantages The battery cover, the battery life, the front facing camera

I purchased the Samsung SII because Samsung is known as a top competitor and is definitely making an impression in the market. Presentation The SII has a clean presentation, I purchased my phone in white but there are other colours available. It is quite a thin phone- 8.49 mm so the weight of the phone is quite balanced and it doesn't feel very weighty. The screen is really strong, using AMOLED to protect against scratches and falls. So the phone isn't as vulnerable as other devices on the market. Note- the back of the phone cover for the battery feels a bit thin when removing the sim etc ... more

love the samsung galaxy s2, dont want to upgrade 04/03/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages camera and screen size
Disadvantages eamil is very slow

Have a samsung galaxy s2 for about 18 months now. Love it, even though i smashed the screen first day i got it, but is still works fine. Love all the features it has. fast internet browsing, good big screen. only downfall really is i find sending emails quiet tedious. cant be sure that they have been sent. and receiving photos via email is also a pain. they take ages to down load fully. dont know if this is just a setting or how it is. downloading apps, music etc is a breeze even my four year old can do it. love the look of it, the feel of it and it is so light compared to any other phone i ... more

I Love this phone! 28/02/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages Numerous apps and features
Disadvantages seems to roam sometimes

I purchased this phone after being extremely unhappy with my current phone. I enjoy the numerous apps that are offered, and the many features this phone has. I never have any technical problems with my phone. I try to restart the phone often just for my own benefit, but i would recommend this phone to anyone! One of the features i love in particular is the forward-facing camera! amazing quality and i get gorgeous pictures every time! and i am no where near photogenic... In my opinion this phone is a wonderful purchase, and is worth the money. Unlike other phones that have let me down, this ... more

Very happy with Samsung Galaxy SII after a year and a half 20/02/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages Big bright screen great for media, Very quick, Awesome camera
Disadvantages Plastic back cover, occasional freeze, not great battery

Samsung Galaxy SII i9100 I have had this phone for a year and a half and found it to be the best Ive had to date. Its super quick and when compared to phones that have been coming out in the last year it seems to keep up with them in terms of speed. Its very thin and has a nice 4.3 inch Super AMOLED plus screen which makes viewing different apps very easy. The camera for stils and for video is superb. It’s screen is very durable and scratch proof as I have found keeping it in my pocket since buying it without a scratch on it. It has good wireless features as you can wirelessly sync it to your ... more

Sam Sung Galaxy S2... and i clearly heard him sing it too 28/01/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages Slim, great features, quick, easy to use and slim (twice, i know)
Disadvantages none to put you off it

A few weeks ago I was contacted by my mobile phone provider who made me an offer that I could not refuse. No, seriously, I’m not talking gangster rap here, it really was an offer that even I thought was a bargain. The package they offered had everything in it, as many SMS as I could handle with a lot of MMS thrown in, thousands of minutes chatting time and unlimited internet access on 3G. The reason for this offer was that they regarded me as a Loyal customer, which is nice, and considering that I have been with orange for so many years I think I should be given shares in the company, I was ... more

The Galaxy S2 is my all time favourite phone 10/01/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages Good phone, reliable and affordable, Supports Flash!
Disadvantages Feels a light and back panel develops hair line cracks.

I bought this phone when it was first released, around the time the new iPhone was supposed to be released. The phone has served me well and has been very reliable, I upgraded the firmware to V4 and I've been using pretty much the same features that are on the S3. The touchscreen is quick and responsive. It supports multi-touch with zoom functionality while browsing. The phone is stylish and light, I've dropped it a few times and it hasn't cracked the screen, wheras my brother cracked his iPhone 4S on the same day he bought it (oops). The screen is quite bright at night so I lowered the ... more
