Following the success of its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S II has a lot to live up to. Thinner, faster and lighter, this smartphone features a 4.3” super AMOLED display which, to date, already has users raving.
Samsung has opted for simplicity when it comes to the Galaxy S II’s exterior design. The home button sits at the bottom in the middle with a touch-sensitive key on each side. The volume sits on the left and there’s the power button to the right. An 8-megapixel camera is placed at the back, and a 2-megapixel camera has been added to the front for video calling. The glass screen is surprisingly well-trained to remain smudge and fingerprint free. The phone itself weighs in at only 119 grams.
