Samsung Galaxy S II ~ Review!

[jandrew626]

This video made me want to put a bullet in my head. I was trying to figure out of I wanted the Samsung Galaxy S2 or the Motorola Photon. You defently encouraged me to not buy this phone, so thank you for that.

[Bards1980]

I feel motion sickness! Stop shaking the phone!

[meather100]

[TheTechtainian]

@meather100 Nexus is google's own brand.

[XBosnianXAssasin]

[Sn0wB0arder27]

[TechDG12]

[WAKEUPshift111]

[TheTechtainian]

@WAKEUPshift111 NEXUS!

[samsungmobileworld]

@TheTechtainian 0.50 not 1.3 mp its 2mp change it

[jickopik]

@WAKEUPshift111 Pick the SII, Android 4 will probably be release soon for the high end Samsung Series.

[MajorLiggs]

Having to use two fingers? First world problem.

[TheTechtainian]

@MajorLiggs lol

[gyped]

@MajorLiggs haha! nice.

[benpetben]

"Mine ist iphone can unlock me carz" Thats why they invented keys. "My ist iphone can turn my lightz on" Its quicker to turn them on by a switch "My iphonez has siri and i can talk to itz" Get some friends and stop talking to your phone! "Mia friend said it like cool to have a apple phone as itz have a apple logo" Dont judge a book by its cover. Just face it apple fanboys Android is better, us android owners dont compare android phones to shit. SO UP YOURS APPLE FANBOYS.

[butterflybliss0]

Does anyone know if this phone has "conversation view" in text messages? and if so, are you able to change it to the standard "inbox/outbox"?

I currantly have the Samsung Wave ... but am thinking of buying this one. I don't like the conversation text messaging though. On the wave you can use either.

Hope someone can help!

Thanks

[TheRowbert]

should i buy this or the note? plz reply

[Colorationz]

@TheRowbert look at the specs and you decide. It really comes down to which one you want more. Look at reviews and comparisons. I have a galaxy s2 and I think its great.

[TheTechtainian]

@TheRowbert Nexus in my opinion

[MarioBalotelli451]

@TheTechtainian Is there any risk that the touchscreen stop working ? :)

[AnGeLoLosAngeles]

@TheRowbert Note

[zelos007]

would u get this verses the tmobile us version?.....n if will it work on tmobiles 3g network at the least

[tomo0086]

I prefer my iPhone 4S.

[eirtob]

@tomo0086 There are two things that are better on Iphone, Siri, and App Store, The rest are better on Samsung Galaxy S II, fag

[tomo0086]

@eirtob I just said I prefer my iPhone 4S...? What's with the fag?

[Colorationz]

@tomo0086 people get so worked up over phones its stupid. He is just being childish

[tomo0086]

@Colorationz Lol.

[mrrahulioo]

IT JUST MATTER OF MONTHS WHEN IT WILL STOP CHARGING!!!!!!!!! UNLESS EVERY SINGLE TIME WE CHARGE THE PHONE, WE TAKE EXTRA TIME TO INSERT THE CABLE........ I DONT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL CHANGE THE CHARGING SOCKET.

[xxAveng3rxx94]

better than iphone 4s..?

[MrMasstyle]

@xxAveng3rxx94 Probably not.

[TheTechtainian]

@xxAveng3rxx94 depends 

[UniversalStar2000]

babe you have sexy voice and sexy hands too :D

[alexaemooov]

I GOT IT. IT'S FAST, RIGHT. JUST STOP SAYIN' !

[Jbirdrules3818]

I like how a 2 weeks ago everybody wanted the galaxy s2 and know everyone wants a nexus

[JoshAngelsberg]

@Jbirdrules3818 i still want the s2 :D

I don't like pentile

[elefantsnablar]

cute bird!

[sin9sa]

What's the average batter life for you? Especially while browsing the net/watching youtube vids?

[JoshAngelsberg]

People know that you can change the home launcher right? Go Launcher, ADW, QQ Launcher, Launcher 7, you don't have to stick with the touch wiz launcher

[TheTechtainian]

@JoshAngelsberg I don't like changing launchers, but yes I am aware.

[JoshAngelsberg]

@TheTechtainian Awesome! I never see any videos of the ATT GS2's with different home launchers(I know this is the international;]). lol everyone always shows touch wiz lol

[TheTechtainian]

@XxFaCeThEtRuThxX911 Get a Galaxy Nexus. I did a review and I really love it. Its just the best all round phone right now.

[ThirstyBloodSucker]

if you press and hold the home button it will search

[TheTechtainian]

@ThirstyBloodSucker I know thanks

[MoroccanLyon]

He thing that he is genius. Thats not the way to show & explain stuff .Let Japaneese be in charge . Your people thing that you are very intelligents then others .Smart & sneaky thats all .

[TheTechtainian]

@MoroccanLyon I don't understand what your saying... You don't really offer an criticism. You just bash but thanks anyway.

[MrAbz009]

hi, i recieve picture messages on my galaxy s2 but it wouldnt let me download it and i cant see it, can anyone help or knows how to do it? thanks

[TheTechtainian]

@MrAbz009 I don't know, I don't have the device anymore.  Sorry

[Youbrown100]

[TheTechtainian]

@Youbrown100 ha

[royalzeinia]

[TheTechtainian]

@royalzeinia I had some issues.

[QsMxVoltz]

If ur going to say shit about th phone dont waste 9 mins....no one wants to hear u bitch...

[TheTechtainian]

@QsMxVoltz Umm Hear me "bitch"... I am only offering my criticism of the device. Would you care to quote me on the "Bitching"

[Ckaragitz]

This better then the samsung infuse

[TheTechtainian]

@Ckaragitz A lot better, but I would just get a Galaxy Nexus

[Ckaragitz]

@TheTechtainian yeah im upgrading my galaxy s2 for the galaxy nexus i heard its going to be beast

[tonymagona334]

well, i know what phone is replacing my Aria this christmas!

[TheTechtainian]

@tonymagona334 Nooo, get a galaxy nexus

[tonymagona334]

@TheTechtainian i have AT&T though, they don't have that phone for my carrier

[JoshAngelsberg]

@tonymagona334 my aria is so gone too!

[tonymagona334]

@JoshAngelsberg biggest piece of crap ever made, never buying an HTC again!

[joka200]

When listening radio dont forget to turn it off after or it overheats

[TheTechtainian]

@joka200 Thanks

[nonamealbngrs]

duying this nxt week....

[TheTechtainian]

@nonamealbngrs Get a galaxy nexus,

[dailywriter]

would you reccomend this or the g2x

[TheCODFather58]

actually the front facing camera is 2.0 mega pixels

[TheTechtainian]

@TheCODFather58 I know lol. Annotated

[herdancestage]

hey! do you know when galaxy nexus is coming out? and you mention overheating.. when does it happen (like what activities were you using the phone for? playing games? listening to music?) and on average what's the frequency of it? every 30 mins of use???

[TheTechtainian]

@herdancestage galaxy nexus is out! Watch my video now.

[searchforshuffle]

Ok so on the subject of battery life, an actual number would be much more informative than hypothesizing why the battery is being drained.

Other than that cheers for the video.

[tomgunc]

Shut that fucking bird up you retard!! And why are you going and talking so fast? Relax and go take your meds bro.

[MagiicMilk]

FUCKING HOLD STILL DAMIT

[TONYKOMAPROMO]

How does this phone compare to iPhone 4 (which I own atm). And I don't want any fanboy discussion, just a good comparison. I'm very happy with my phone now but it's always fun with new gadgets ;) Pro's and con's iPhone 4 vs this phone? Thank you.

[TheEagleBreaker]

awsomeness!!!!!



[MrNicetuber]

u canadian? aboot?

[TheTechtainian]

@MrNicetuber Oh Ya!

[lethJ]

He has anoingly fast fingers..

[TheTechtainian]

[yeogav]

@lethJ it's from playing all those Console games in his bedroom

[PiuViccino]

Fuck stop saying device!

P.S Nice review ;)

[TheTechtainian]

@PiuViccino lol thanks

[RaggyFTWW]

I've seen models of this phone with and without the home button.. which should i be buying? Are there differences?

[TheTechtainian]

@RaggyFTWW Dont get a gs2 get a galaxy nexus.

[AziD1986]

thxz for the review. Nice work:)

[superman15212]

What your saying that the phone is to fast are retarded i don't give a about the animations when it loads my picture i just want it to load it fast.

[elioparaguayo]

I live in brasil and I want to know if I buy a galaxy over there I can use it here normaly or not! thanks!

[cooliD97]

How did u get it on fido?

[alicevlogs]

Buying this soon. Thanks :)

[saurabh2294]

YA!!! Its true even my sgs2 gets hot while im playing games or oder things which take long time.

[saurabh2294]

@michael76567 nt all widgets are resizeable only few are resizeable. Place widget in one of your homescreen then again hold it for a sec and release it, ul gt a yellow resizeable line. For eg try on weather widget.

[pheeson]

WTF? my galaxy SII never overheats

LOL

[michael76567]

Hey just got this phone and I can't resize the widgets... Are they not all resizable? I tried to do the same thing you did, hold it, then hold it again, but after the first hold it just snaps back to the menu view..

[MrRhysSir]

was this sped up?! or are you on cocaine? madness haha :P cheers man good review :)

[entadat]

i love lightning fast devices.

[TheTechtainian]

@entadat Then you will love this phone.

[hunter550]

Dude - you need to redo your review - the speaker is great and my battery lasted 6 hours operating on 4g all day - recheck your facts please...

[arbri135]

Dude ...your so annoying...This phone is 2011's best phone and you say that it has issues...it's bad and stuff like that...Fuck you dude....Delete This stupid review :@

[TheTechtainian]

@arbri135 Um... I am not sure if you watched the whole review. But I said it was the best device so far this year and said I loved it multiple times. Just because something is great does not mean it does not have problems. Nothing is perfect and I highlighted the good and bad. By the way I love this device so not sure what your talking about.

[AdlGolf4]

@TheTechtainian 7:04 kill that bird man...:D

[TheTechtainian]

@AdlGolf4 Believe me!!! ahahahh

[iloveepl4ever]

@TheTechtainian iphone gets very hot as well

[modernrockbro]

@TheTechtainian Well, the point is you give an opinion without reason. That's the point. Like a hot ass phone sucks, & that's a non-issue with the S2. You don't weigh pros & cons, so you get blasted for throwing out an opinion without comparison.

[malikah14otrew]

@arbri135 umm theres good and bad in every phone... so what its 2011's best phone, obviously there are some cons to it.

[criminal350]

1.3 MP front facing camera, that's weird because samsung says its 2 MP. Samsung needs to update their specs page.

[TheTechtainian]

@criminal350 It is 2.0 I annotated over because I made a mistake. You must of either had annotations turned off or been on mobile.

[criminal350]

@TheTechtainian

i was on mobile sorry for the inconvenience

[tb0147896325]

Not exactly a 'review' of the phone, but I liked it for the demonstration. Pretty much what I was looking for that was lacking from all the 23426245 reviews out there already. Thanks

[TheTechtainian]

@tb0147896325 Ok I am going to explain how I review. So lets break this down. Most big reviewers like "phone dog" do 20-30 minute reviews and they go through every feature. I think this is a bad way to do reviews. I think the better way to do them is to Show the hardware so you can get your impressions. But then also tell you things you can't get from first impression. Like bad volume rocker. I do this for hardware and software. But than I conclude on the important good and bad things.

[tb0147896325]

@TheTechtainian Yes, hardware is more relevant as you can easily root and flash other roms thus getting different 'features' and I like your pace since I didn't have to sit there waiting for verbal constipation like I have to for other reviewers therefore I found your video more helpful. And I already said I liked your goddamn video.

[111royalak]

anyone answer me? iphone or galaxy ...which is the better ?

[TheTechtainian]

@111royalak Is this iPhone 4S and Galaxy S2 or what? there a lots of different iPhone and galaxy devices.

[DonChilenito]

@111royalak. Both are good, it's your choise Galaxy is bigg as hell in my opinion ;p i love iphone more cause of the many apps you can have galaxy is abit faster just 1 sec faster.. but like it matters, not for me atleast. but as i said both are good and have their good things. bu i prefer Iphone 4s

[TheTechtainian]

@DonChilenito You think the GS2 is big try the Galaxy Note. Check my unboxing vid

[Xrobx6000X]

I think the reason this device has horrible battery life is because this guy keeps messing with the phone. At times it made me nausiated constantly flicking through those screens...

[TheTechtainian]

@Xrobx6000X No I only flick that much because a lot of people care about the snappiness and performance. I do not do that all the time.

[zDANv]

i have one it doesnt have a bad speaker you have problems and doesnt get hot, you must be leaving it on for 5 hours using every app! 

[TheTechtainian]

@zDANv I did this review before the big software update. Which apparently improved battery life and heat problems.

[1977hero]

Thumbs up if you prefer a samsung G s2 with HTC sense 3.5 running!

[TheTechtainian]

@1977hero ekk

[samir4021]

iPhone 4S FTW!

[TheTechtainian]

@samir4021 lolo

[yavuzlu]

if you upgrade your galaxy to 2.3.4 version.... the battery life would much better then the old version...

[TheTechtainian]

@yavuzlu Thanks but I dont have the phone anymore :(

[joewannabe1]

complaining about battery life on a phone with this much power is like saying to a v8 supercar, why do you drink so much fuel.?

[TheTechtainian]

@joewannabe1 You got this form the TIMN podcast. It does not really make the most sense cus why would you buy an expensive phone if you could not make it through a day?

[joewannabe1]

@TheTechtainian hi, i dont know what is TIMN podcast.

all due respect, you buy a super car for its performance and you dont expect a super car to go on fuel for as long as say a toyota camry. you accept the fact its powerful hence the higher fuel consumption.

but i didnt know it couldnt make it through the day? is that true? i thought it was about 10 hours heavy usage.

[TheTechtainian]

@joewannabe1 You dont know the this is my next podcast! wow pretty funny they said the same thing, different context though. I got about a day.

[cforcrime]

you on drugs m8. period!

[TheTechtainian]

@cforcrime Why dies everyone think I am on drugs???

[betterthanuthink]

does the dam thing make & receive phone calls???? lol

[TheTechtainian]

@betterthanuthink Come on, who does that. lolo

[Low7711]

can i get this with cellular south?
