Samsung Galaxy S II review

Review Slowly but steadily, Samsung has been nibbling away at the iPhone’s lead. The company sold 10 million Galaxy S smartphones worldwide as of January this year (less than seven months after it launched), and the sequel, the Galaxy S II, is on track to beat it, having already reached three million sales in 55 days. But how does the handset perform up close — is it over-rated, or does it deserve its plaudits? Read on to find out.

The Galaxy S II achieves the near-impossible feat of making the iPhone 4 look chunky. A tiny 8.5mm waistline makes it the slimmest smartphone yet, and it’s remarkably light at 116g. This is all good on paper, but in practice, the plastic construction makes the Galaxy S II feel cheaper than it is. The angular lines and wider-than-average dimensions also make it awkward to hold and use one-handed. You can get used to it, but it just doesn’t hug the hand like many other phones.

Calling the Galaxy S II attractive would be a stretch. It’s discreet at best, with an all-black casing that pairs a glossy front with a textured battery cover. Viewed head-on, the edgeless 4.3″ screen is indistinguishable from the surrounding bezel, giving the illusion of a larger display.

Buttons have been kept to a minimum: there’s a single, iPhone-like home button on the front, flanked by two capacitive buttons (menu and back) on either side, a volume rocker on the left and a power/sleep button on the right. The microSD card slot is located behind the battery cover, and, annoyingly, you have to remove the battery before you can get to it.

Features The Galaxy S II runs the latest Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) operating system, and nearly all of its features rate as the best-in-class for their respective categories. The 1.2GHz dual-core Exynos processor (paired with a 1GB helping of RAM) is currently the fastest on the market, and the 4.3″ screen is as large as they come for smartphones – and is also the only one that uses Super AMOLED Plus display technology.

It supports 21Mbps HSDPA, and comes with 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and DLNA wireless media streaming. 16GB of internal storage can be supplemented with both microSD cards (up to 32GB) and USB flash drives (using an optional USB OTG adapter). While it doesn’t have a microHDMI port built-in, an optional MHL adapter converts the microUSB port to HDMI.

Samsung has done its usual trick of customising Android with its TouchWIZ GUI. Thankfully, it isn’t as much of a performance hog as it was on the original Galaxy S – or perhaps the faster processor makes it run better. Enhancements include a custom launcher and lockscreen, extra homescreen widgets, and modified dialler, contacts and calendar apps.
