Since the galactic success of the Galaxy S last June, the Korean giant has refined its hardware chops, constructing the iPad-bothering Galaxy Tab, building the excellent Nexus S at Google's behest, and now crafting its meisterwerk: the Samsung Galaxy S 2.
The S 2 is a luxury smart phone with all the trimmings, including a ginormous 4.3-inch display, an 8-megapixel camera and a 1.2GHz processor powering Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Masterfully sewn into a shockingly slim and light body, prepare your soul for the satin embrace of one of the best Android phones to date.
The Samsung Galaxy S 2 is a bit bigger than the Galaxy S, thanks to the larger 4.3 inch display, but is both lighter (116 gms) and slimmer (8.49 mm) than its predecessor. It is quite stylish and looks great. It also has a much better 4.3 inch SuperAMOLED Plus display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. The display is brighter, offers more contrast and is more power efficient than SuperAMOLED displays. Watching movies and reading ebooks should be a pleasure on the Galaxy S 2.
OS and Hardware
The Samsung Galaxy S 2 will come with Android 2.3 Gingerbread with the TouchWiz UI and Swype. It will have a 1 GHz dual core processor and 1 GB RAM with 16 GB / 32 GB internal storage. It is as powerful as some Android tablets which will be launched soon.
Multimedia
The Samsung Galaxy S 2 will come with an 8 MP camera with AF and flash and will also offer full HD video recording and playback. It will be one of the best mobile cameras ever.
Connectivity:
The Samsung Galaxy S 2 should offer all the standard connectivity options – Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, HSPA+ etc. Browsing the web will be a great experience on this powerful device with a huge display.
Conclusion
The Samsung Galaxy S 2 could very well be the Android smartphone of 2011. It has the design, hardware, OS, camera and all the features that might be needed to take the pole position again. If I had loads of cash, this is the phone I would be going for.
