Samsung Galaxy S II - Review

[hassan98281]

how to u move the icons is it like iphones way

[travis7310]

I love my Samsung Galaxy S II! You could say I'm obsessed with it. I love all the free apps that the Android Market has, the mobile web is lightning fast, the camera is awesome, (both pics and vids), calls are clear, high quality graphics. This is an amazing phone! I find myself using it more than my computer now, especially when it comes to Facebook! :D

[BooMxDeViLDoG]

I have an HTC Surround and it is slow as hell, because it is a windows phone; it is also gay.

[dell11700]

@BooMxDeViLDoG are you high? the surround for me is very fast, the hell is wrong with you?......but yes, it is pretty gay

[tensorbundle]

adorable british accent

[EinstienJr]

1.5 gz processor and why go for android- android is faster at much lower speeds-should have been windows

[wilds94]

"very slightly ________" doesn't make much sense buddy.

[supervijaycool1]

@mattsgreenuk can you please tell me how to get google earth? for my SGS2? i searched for it on android market but still i couldn't find it :(

[caitisnotonfire]

iPhones suck compared to this O_o

..I'm gonna beg my dad to get me this for my bday:L

[TheDriftergt4]

is it better than arc s? nice video by the way

[mhtsz112]

Very slightly thinner! :P

[akazombie]

Super Amoled PLUS ? OMG... Eventually it will be Super Mega Ultimate AmoLED PLUS XL

[Youngdrewification]

@akazombie lololololol

[tris244]

@akazombie lol actually the next screen coming will be the OLED screen which is a flexible touch screen that looks AWESOME!

[akazombie]

@tris244 I've seen it. It's kind of unnecessary, but IMAGINE THE THINGS WE CAN DO WITH THAT. I'm excited for it... It should facilitate cylindrical hologram-like communications in the next 5 years.

[cheezo545]

@akazombie the galaxy note has an "HD super AMOLED Plus" display which is even more crisp and bright

[akazombie]

@cheezo545 OH god... :/

[thenumber81]

very slightly thinner? O.o

[ezzyezz123456]

I have the Galaxy 1..... I FUCKING NEED THIS PHONE!

[AniDroid]

@ezzyezz123456 - trade in

[bigfanofthings]

S II

[bigfanofthings]

I HAVE IT ITS AWESOME I GOT IT TODAY

[32ines43]

if anyone knows, does it have a camera at the front of the phone? thanks:)

[DNel123]

@32ines43 yeah a 2megapixel cam at the front

[lukthere2]

lol! the sII is very slightly bigger! XD...but nice review though!

[PoppieXL]

I'm not liking that open hole for the batery charger, too easy for small stuff to get in and stuck in it :(

[seafireliv]

@PoppieXL Yea, that`s kind strange. Cos I had their Samsung jet and that had a cover to cover the hole. Now they think there`s no need for one on this even more expensive phone?

Maybe I`ll get a tiny bit of tape to cover it.

[bestwwefantoday]

the galaxy s 2 is very slightly bigger..

[holypiss17]

that screens gonna break easier

[rstyrone]

@holypiss17 It has a gorilla screen.Google it.

[sempleking]

[YokubouTenshi]

@sempleking Bell is selling it

[kbkarthikbabu]

dont touch iphone./...itz way better than samsung glaxy or blah blah blah hells!

[sithu04]

very slightly... lol

[chocdino]

very slightly?

[Sharak19]

Is the sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4g Touch going to have the same chipsets and hardware as the european one? I know americans like to go cheap and sacrifice quality for profits.

[LaurenLovesMusik]

LOL why is the guy holding the phone not speaking? someone else is doing the talking!

[UnitedHaxors]

@LaurenLovesMusik he recorded the sound after?

[66752063686172]

If the microphone and speaker are ass, it doesn't matter how fast it is.

[wreslinga2]

wold have been perfect if the body was metal instead of plastic

[oOxXPerfect]

Does Windows Live Messanger Work on it ? <3 Please Answer !

[TomStokeCityFC]

Is it normal for the home button on the GS2 to make a clicking noise when you press it? Are they all like this?

[FavoritePeter]

@TomStokeCityFC jup, the plastic kliks

[TheSjheywood]

Very slightly... right.

[lamdo23tech]

For what carrier? Verizon?

[freakylocz14]

Still waiting on in here in the states.

[gamer7790]

[diegodd]

[9028874]

Is there any problems?

[rafahenara]

[AustinNygaard]

hahaha the s 2 is very slightly bigger and very slightly thinner than the original galaxy s :P

[9990525357]

[rubiksfan2000]

if i am on a plan with an iphone 4, but i want to use this. can i just buy this phone from someone and put my sim card in it, assuming the one i bought is on bell(the provider i am currently on)

[ParkersPlaylist]

@rubiksfan2000

yup

[kevnb3]

its not just the cpu, the gpu is miles ahead of the pack.

[zerolimits456]

This phone is the one to buy...my iPhone 3GS is off contract now..I don't want a iPhone 4/5

[istariphoenix]

I. WANT. THIS. PHONE. MORE. THAN. AIR. Can't wait to ditch my stupid non-innovative closed-platform iPhone 4 for this beautiful MONSTER phone!!!

[AdamTheChannel]

@istariphoenix this phone's awesome but apple's no slouch.

[CrazedTeenz]

you say "slightly" too much....even when it doesnt make sense. "very slightly bigger" "very slightly thinner" wtf? go back to school

[EleazarWP7]

i love your accent

[rightwing8877]

iPhones are overrated

[bathdianboy]

still waiting for my SG2 already paid for it i should have it by the end of next week

[jaaizerox]

its a great phone but nothing beats da apple touch..to be honest my ipod touch 2gs touch is better :)

[irockas]

@jaaizerox dude seriously? The iPod 2gs's firmware sucks compared to  the galaxy's but the iphone or ipod 4 make a much better comparison

[jaaizerox]

@irockas

yeah the firmware isnt better,the touch is slightly faster,not the loading speed just the touch,but this is the fastest and best touch screen i have seen for now,but the wierd this is if i buy this phone ILL MISS THE APP STORE! :( ....and da phone is faster dan iphone 4 so yea

[rightwing8877]

@jaaizerox you high? i dont even know what to say to this sentence!. i will say is that i also have an ipod touch 2nd gen and had a iphone 4. they do not even compare to this phone!

they are shit, just like your statement

[jaaizerox]

@rightwing8877

lol im just giving my opinion ,its a better phone than the iphone and faster.....but the touch isnt better than my ipods!......its some what wierd that you had itouch 2g and a iphone 4g....stop making up shit ,just to make me belive you! get a life retard!

[Erickson123123]

I THINK it might be really fast.

[TheTTsofBonGrapeisha]

What an iPhone copy cat.

[iDrummercommayeh]

are you able to get rid of touchwiz?

[DJHiroProductions]

GALAXY S2 SOO WHAT? APPLE IPHONE ROCKS!

[AboutTheCoD]

@DJHiroProductions "APPLE IPHONE SUCKS COCKS!"*

[ssb1190]

This phone cant do skype video calls....

[abbaroc]

iphone rip!

[donimater2]

guys ive done some testing and it costed me like 1grand but i did it i fitted my galaxy s 2 with a quad core prossesor this is amazing i also fitted it wittth a new touch screen from iphone and improved the front camerrer to 5mps

[SporeEngineer]

@donimater2 i dont understand the purpose of you rmessage?

[Rhydry121]

What was that widget ib te middle for??? Below the clock

[aleornarjun]

dont worry about the phone's fps. its just the camera

[mikedoerfler]

@izonbay We do not know too much about the carriers, it really depends on that but it will probably be 4G capable

[grzech312]

does it run MPEG4, 3GP and AVI video fomats fo SURE?

[grzech312]

thanks

1.so those 3 are for sure?

2.at least it has kind of a flash, not like the Galaxy S

[grzech312]

mattsgreenuk and guys, i have a few questions

1.does it run MPEG4, 3GP, and AVI video formats

2.does it have mutiltouch and camera flash

[ofiterpunte]

@grzech312

1. Yes, although for some formats you might need a free media player from the android market.

2. Multitouch yes, You can pinch to zoom, you can rotate maps, it's all there. It has a camera LED, not exactly a flash but it's powerfull enough to use as a good flaslight (there are good flashlight apps on the free market)

[althnayan7]

is the samsung galaxy s2 better than the blackberry torch.

[LARSSONISGHOD]

what for you are the phones key features?

[dr34m3r2k]

You need a better camera as the frame rate is poor.

[Sethris134]

I can't wait till we see this phone in the U.S. Somehow, i'll get myself one.

[hgfuhgvg]

Does not have hdmi output.. Would have loved it.

[hgfuhgvg]

Watching this on galaxy s2. It is awesome!

[TheStand08]

Is this going to be 4G LTE?

[dennishassel]

This or sony ericsson arc?

[thesamnani]

@dennishassel Samsung Galaxy S II of course... Arc doesn't have Dual Cores...! And Arc doesn't shoot 1080p videos... !

[yggipjd]

Quick Q:

Do you answer the phone vertical or horizontal?

[RaptorTheEnforcer]

@yggipjd upside down, vertical lol

[AznS0ulja]

despite it being a very clear screen, the retina display of the iphone 4 still would be clearer

[oldskoollistener]

Can someone please tell me if there's a dual camera because NO ON HAS MENTIONED A DUAL CAMERA!!!

[aashu1690]

@oldskoollistener If you are talking about a front-facing camera, it's there. 2 Megapixels, no less!

[ItWasntME011]

looks like a piece of brownie for me lol ..Guess I'm just hungry xD

[makkekoala]

farmwille yeah!! the reason why i would buy it

[SpadeAce90]

nice phone but android? uhmmm...

[MatthewV1001]

[robert619rock1]

[ultimateRenzo]

[fuckingonliner]

@ultimateRenzo

yuo might buy sgs2 obviously :O

[MaxTest999]

I have a question : Nexus S compass is horrible.. How is Galaxy SII in google street ? THanks for your response!

[MaxTest999]

@MaxTest999 Sorry I've seen your video of google maps, you answered it all. Good job! I will by it when it will be available in Canada... in a month or two.

[no1ylf]

great review thanks!!

[AppleIpodHelper25]

Could you show us the messaging on the phone? and show us if it has swype texting?

[ambiguous321]

sad that its 1.2 ghz and still has a 2 sec delay switching from portrait to landscape mode

[peo8004]

@ambiguous321 yeah, iphone perform better at that, n do u know why it is lag, that is bacoz the software n hardware is not made for each other..

[ambiguous321]

sad that its 1.2 ghz and still has a 2 sec delay from switching from portrait to landscape mode

[spectraldistortion]

is it worth getting over the galaxy s?

because the price difference is huge.

[makaveli42688]

Sense this is a phone how is the phone talk and hearing quality? I have found most smart phones worry about the gadgets than call quality being able to hear the other person as well as them hearing you.

[gakman41]

@makaveli42688 its great just traded my friend my curve for this phone and its miont hes so dumb aha

[chillichomper]

@makaveli42688 True. I have the unimpressive mytouch slide 3g but it has been rock solid and calls sound nice and loud. The call quality should be the MAIN feature to optimize but alot of vendors seem to ignore stressing this. You're absolutely correct

[cynicismSteve]

@makaveli42688 Ironically the call quality on the SGS2 is reams better than that of the iPhone 4 or any other smart phone ive used lately.

[proGaimz]

I ordered this beast, getting it next week.. can't fucking wait!

[TheAndroGeek]

Hi, nice review of the SGS2 ;) Can you do another video with Google Maps please ? Because I really like Google Maps, and I'd like to see how the SGS2 handles it ;)

[h4x0rl33tee]

Hi is it worth the upgrade from galaxy s 1

[ThePaulg123]

3 questions

1.what us battery life like in comparison to iPhone 4?

2.does it have that app feature like the iPhone where you can exit say angry birds and then click back on the game and it's in the exact place u left it?

3.what's the odds of the new iPhone 5 trouncing the s 2 in terms of features and performance or do you think it will be quite comparible?

[metroidM1A1]

OMG THIS PHONE IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!THIS IS THE TRUE DEFINITION OF A JESUS PHONE!!!!!!!!! the iphone doesnt come anywhere near it!!!!!!!!

[clojap]

How was the call quality? I've only had one samsung phone before and it was torture having to talk to someone because the sound quality from the speaker was so bad.

[talizmo]

Mattgreenuk, If you could pick any phone in production to date.. would this be it??

[EXCELLENTpoo]

Nice review and very well presented. One of the best videos I've watched and that's including the professional site reviews.

[roboroborobodancer]

Holy balls this thing is fast... I want it insanely bad now. Definitely upgrading from my MT4G.

[airbus5521]

nicest phone ive ever seen (L)(L)(L)

[R8power]

So much lighter than the original Galaxy S??? It's only 3 grams lighter!!!

[xbai08]

@R8power technically it's a lot bigger too, so i guess it's less dense = less subjective perception of weight.. lol

[peter96]

should i get this phone or the htc sensation???

[06jremmi]

@peter96 I have precisely the same queries!

[rhysthomasSFC]

Is it small enough to use in one hand? Or do you need to hold it in one and use the other one?

[uknownforce]

how much did you pay for it?? :P

[SrTb0y05]

oh nd when it comes to the states, will it be on verizon??

[SrTb0y05]

Dear Steve Jobs,

Size does matter(:

Sincerely,

Google

[15heartz]

can you make a video of it showing movie site are anime..not youtube any phone can play youtube

[soiyamoto]

Cant be any worse than the 1st one, roll on november when my contract ends..iphone for me.. Have iphone 3 and its far better than my gallaxy s i hate that phone so slow.. Lag lag lag

[zackphy]

Example ROMS u can download straight 2 ur sd card and unzip just like a pc. U can change anything u want including the onscreen keyboard, fonts, all the way 2 the home screen UI. The browser has flash, and u can find almost any app 4 free on the internet and download straight 2 the phone, a good site 4 this is 4shared.com, just type the name of the app then apk after it, or just download applanet which is a pirated version of the market. And now the UI itself is just as fast and fluid as iOS is

[zackphy]

@q87 galaxy 2 without question, android is superiour 2 iOS in almost every way, except 4 number of apps but that's only on account of how many apps iOS has that do the same thing as each other, in otherwords copies, there won't b anything u wount b able 2 find in the market. Android has widgets which right there make iOS obslete, just go play with thegalaxy, open the app drawer and what comes up is all ur gonna get on the iPHONE. U can dowload music and files directally from the browser

[q87soonz]

SGS 2 or wait for iphone 5 and why ?....... i never had an iphone or android phone before

[fernandoag29]

[rb0tr4geh4ck3r]

ok guys, suckest phone of the year : Apple, blackberry,nokia,sony ericcson.

[Kaissie84]

Just wondering if anyone knows what the call quality and battery life are like for this phone. Thanks!

[Makkerz]

Great review thanks. Is this the best phone around in the current market? Im upgrading from a BB Storm II and cant decide what to get. Any advice?

[NoOdLeMcDoOdLe]

Love this review and now i've seen We Rule on there in defo buying this phone (0:

[voden08]

With your time with the phone, and assuming that you've extensively played with an iPhone before, do you think this is smoother in terms of the ui? (ie. scrolling, moving home pages)

[assboy89]

Great review. And you sound like Ricky Gervais' younger brother :)

great review!!!

[ociel1988]

iPhone killer sold 120000 in 3 days

[RoughBlade212]

i think the phone is too big

[LuckySlevin7]

WOW... not on the phone, sure it is pretty neat. ;-)

...the WOW is for your awesome review! Good job man!

Imho it was flawless from start to finish.

But... I love the retina screen of the iPhone 4 (don't own it though), I like how you can't discern single pixels on it...

How does the Samsung Galaxy 2 compete in regards to that?

@LuckySlevin7 The Samsung Galaxy S 2 features Samsung's new Super Amoled Plus screen technology which actually makes it that no single pixels are watchable on it, and the actual color
