Awesome phone! Im a proud owner! :)

R.dalangin has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

It's great overall. Had some issues initially with some gameloft games not being supported, but eventually new ones came out which made up for that. The ICS update was one of the first also in the Android Smartphone world which proves that this phone is one beloved chump! Highly recommended, although I would've loved an HD display and Video Stabilization in it, and more contrast in the pictures he primary 8mp camera takes.

Build quality 9/10
The plastic back kinda degrades the premium feel of this device.

Reception 9/10
In most areas here in metro manila the reception is Excellent. However, when i went to a remote island here in Philippines, i couldn't get hold of any 3g/4g signal. And that would be perfectly understandable except that a relative of mine was carrying an old blackberry bold (running on the same network as my sgs2) and yet it could surf on facebook, sheesh. Hat for me was a real shocker, never expected that from a blackberry :p

Call quality 10/10
Never had any issues. Works like a charm :)

Internet 10/10
Internet is superfast whether on wifi or 3g/4g. There we're also instances when a friend with an iPhone4 couldn't connect to the wifi router and i could. This phone is awesome.Glad i bought it :)

Multimedia 10/10
Plays anything i put in it, except for some music files i downloaded over from The Pirate Bay, lol ^^

Camera 9/10
Would have been great if the camera had more contrast and color saturation in it. And if they tossed in some Video Stabilization goodness it would have been perfect! 1080p video recording is sooo clear, sometimes its hard to believe such a thin device like this could come up wih that. Highly recommended :)

UI speed 10/10
Can't say anything wrong with it. It,tvvgggggt55gg1s soo fluid although i would've preferred stock ICS Experience rather than to have touchwiz UI on top.

Everyday usage 10/10
Will have everything you need for everyday use. You can even send emails with attachments with the native email client unlike with iOS which only lets you send plain emails.

Text input 10/10

Display 10/10
Pretty good, it looks sharp enough for a 800x480 display. Although it could've been better with an HD Display.

One of the best, if not the best phone even after a year

cvdvds has owned it for more then one year before publishing this review

Have not had any problems with it other than Touchwiz and poor feel in the hand. It's too thin/small for my hands, but that's easily fixed with a case. Other than that it's pretty much perfect. Came out almost a year ago and is still the phone I would buy. TouchWiz is easily removed with custom ROMs. One other phone that I'd buy is the Galaxy Nexus. Pretty much the SGS2 without touchwiz. ICS is awesome.

Build quality 9/10
Plastic. Best build matieral technology wise but it doesn't feel too great in the hand. Especially being as thin as it is.

Reception 10/10
The connection problems that I do have are probably my carriers fault.

Call quality 10/10
Had no problems with that.

Internet 10/10
Don't like the stock GB browser, other than that flawless.

Multimedia 10/10
I watch mostly YouTube and it plays everything I throw at it flawlessly.

Camera 8/10
Long Shutter time but takes great pictures.

UI speed 9/10
There's no place to rate UI design at so I'll substract points here because of TouchWiz.

Everyday usage 10/10

Text input 10/10
As good as it gets on a touchscreen.

Display 10/10
Looks amazing.

Battery 8/10
Not too amazing battery life. It drains pretty fast when browsing the web, since AMOLEDs use a lot of juice for bright/white colors. Couldn't have hurt to make it a little thicker to add a bigger battery.

Pros

• Fast Processor
• Amazing Screen
• Fast Browsing

Cons

• TouchWiz
• White pages use lots of battery
• Plastic
• Speaker on the back

Good specs, very smooth use on the internet but call quality poor

erkansaner has owned it for less then 3 months before publishing this review

I have used it for 3 months. Perfect internet communication device, perfect for browsing, any other option, for example a laptop had become useless for that purposes if you have this. Most people mentioned perfect features, I am OK with them. Not a single freeze in Android throughout my use in 3 months. I had two problems one is a major one. Minor one is the sound quality when you listen music, it is very good, but is not good as it was in Samsung Galaxy S (my previous one) and definite as Iphone 4s (I compared it). For me this is a shame for Samsung an Electronic giant and a chip manufacturer.

The major one deserves another paragraph, "outgoing sound quality during phone calls". An echo in my voice, sometimes metallic, sometimes deep, nearly unintelligible by the listener. Funny thing that, you do not really notice this easily since it is the other people suffering this problem. People complain after a while and then you can notice. I checked other parameters that can be the cause of the reason like reception, the GSM operator, and then give it back the service, they said they have changed the microphones but it was not any good. Now I am not using Galaxy S 2.

Not perfect or special but there is no fault of defects in the material and the design.

I wrote in the review, it is the awfull outgoing sound quality, your friends may be suffering this. Call them while in the same place and switch the phones and compare the sound quality you are hearing.

A really fast and complete package.

AlonShtrafun has owned it for less then month before publishing this review

I took this one after cheking both him and the new RAZR. I love taking photos, so the RAZR's camera was voted out. The screen is magnificent and the interface is fast. The interface shines in the notifications panel, and shames itself when organizing apps. Other than that it's balanced, stable and even has some resizable widgets.

The build is good but plastic all around. The speaker and the camera perform at 100%. The headphones produce some good sounds, although I would still take on my old Xperia X10 for that. Plays every movie I try with it. Connects through wifi to the computer. Samsung's own content is a nice touch + the FM radio is a huge bonus for me.

I don't think there is something else to say. If you hate Itunes like I do, this one is a safe bet.

I saw alot of people here mentioning that the battery life sux. In the beginingI was estitating to get this phone but after using Juice Defender software on my Motorola Milestone, I knew that it will boost up my battery life in this phone too. And the result is perfect. I can play my Drag Racing game for almost 3hrs non stop and my battery still shows 36 to 40 percent. I'm running on a custom ROM which gives megreat results on all the applications and performance. My best Benchmark is 6545 in Antutu. Guys, if you really want great performance, than you should upgrade the firmware and add in custom application to boost the speed of your phone which will not affect the hardware of your phone.

Dual-core processor equates to unbelievably fast reaction times. It's super slick and it's super quick. It's incredibly thin and it's very light. The Super AMOLED Plus screen is the best mobile screen I've ever laid my eyes on. The call quality is great. The camera takes awesome shots and the 1080p video recording is a dream! It plays any kind of video format that I throw at it. The pre-loaded applications right out of the box are a welcome bonus. Even the battery lasts surprisingly long!

amsung Galaxy S II is the sequel to the critically-acclaimed Samsung Galaxy S Android smartphone. It comes with the newer Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, and an even larger screen at 4.3 inches of Super AMOLED Plus goodness. The Galaxy S II upgrades the camera to 8MP and adds an LED flash to it, together with 1080p video recording. A 1.2GHz dual-core chipset is running the show so as to deliver a fine performance without any hints of lag

I don't regret dropping Motorola for this equipment. It works and works well, not available is the US as of yet. Easily modified software and community support is amazing. This beast is fast and responsive, and overclocked to 1600MHZ dual core. I am amazed every single time I compare this phone to my old Atrix 4g, it absolutely blows that peice of junk out of the water. I will never again purchase a phone from a carrier store, or MotoFAIL for that matter.

Well..not that great

Nuadar has owned it for less then month before publishing this review

When I bough this phone, I expected something far more luxury and refined than thin,cheap looking slap but i guess Samsung is Samsung
Call and signal quality was fairly good, camera too but device like Sensation is far better for multimedia
touch wiz is still one of the worst android UIs,display is great,speed too,battery is s**tty as hell

Cheap, thin plastic looks horrible,after 10 days of heavy use it started to make strange noises...not something i would expect from device this expensive

Reception 9/10
fairly good

Call quality 10/10
no dropped calls, no issues with signal

Internet 9/10
its smooth and fast but still not as good as i though it will be

Multimedia 8/10
not bad but still nothing as good as Sensation

Camera 9/10
great photos, I saw better ones but fairly good

UI speed 5/10
9 for speed, 0 for look and feel of its TouchWiz..its horrible UI

Samsung Galaxy S II Best Smart Phone Currently Available in India

AMITAVA MITRA has owned it for less then month before publishing this review

I am Using Samsung Galaxy S II since last 28 Days & it works Awesome. Its Main Camera, Secondary Camera both are Better then All Phone in Same Class like Google Nexus, LG Optimus 2x, HTC Sensasion & Sony Ericson Arc. Best in class Super AMOLED+ Display & Amizing Full HD 1080P (30FPS) Video Recording & Playback. Inbuilt storage is more than Enogh as it comes with 16GB On Board Memory. Its Dual Core 1.2GHz Processor helps your phone usage fastest even in Web Browsing.

It has Just two Negetive Point, i.e. Poor Battery Life in 3G or 3G+ Network & Average Sound Quality through Packaged Head Phone.

But in All, That Is The Best Smart phone available in India, I have Personally Test Nokia X7, Sony Ericson ARC, Apple iPhone 4G, Samsung Google Nexus S, LG Optimus 2X & HTS Sensation....These all are lower in all specs than Samsung Galaxy S II.

So If you are ready to spend Rs.31000 then go for this Only.
