T-Mobile Galaxy S II hands-on

[ManUnited10r]

Haha this phone sucks I've had 3 of them and they all were slow and crappy...got new ones everytime I went to t-mobile and show them that the phone is always glitching. My advice don't get this phone...Galaxy S3 is coming out in not a long time but I'm gonna get a windows 7 phone...no more android or iOS

[MrTuberrify]

I cant wait tell i get my samsung galaxy 2 from t-mobile awesome phone i wil get it in march

[Wat8Ta1Do3]

@MrTuberrify me too!

[MrBjoey2010]

Do you have a Screen protector installed??? what kind is it.

[p7732975506]

nfc is on the battery because the reciver is under the paper on the battery lol

[gustavooxwc1]

@7seng7 that's because the international version has a smaller screen than the t-mobile version. So yes it does look a little better on the international.

[sausagelolidge]

ZOOM! hahahaha

[eb62224]

heeeey my sisters samsung gallaxy s2 is more square shaped

[rocknroll576]

whats the difference between this phone and the other with the square in the middle

[2003MARSSKILLS]

@rocknroll576 The "square in the middle" GS2 is the unlocked version. It is the original GS2 that was released in Europe back in March of 2011.

[kannaboom24]

is this any different to the samsung galaxy s II?

[DrDooM24PBK]

I can't believe that notification LEDs aren't standard. That's why I still keep my Blackberry Pearl (also had a Curve). Sure you think it may just be a light, but it flashes every few seconds when you have received any kind of message or a phone call. This is helpful if you are like me because I like to put my phone in my cupholder while I'm driving because sometimes I can't feel it vibrate if I have it in my pocket. When Im at home I put on my desk and I don't have to check it every second

[stickydog480]

@DrDooM24PBK

Mytouch 4G has LED notification. Big upgrade from a pearl...

[DrDooM24PBK]

@stickydog480

Yes. Without knowing it, I upgraded from my Pearl to the My Tough 4G Slide and realized it has the light. The Pearl still has the best notification light and its an old phone.

[stickydog480]

@DrDooM24PBK

How is the light on the pearl better? don't they both offer notifications for SMS, Email, Missed calls?

[DrDooM24PBK]

@stickydog480

You would have to have to one to know the little differences that make it more convenient.

[stickydog480]

@DrDooM24PBK

The light is more convenient?

[stickydog480]

@DrDooM24PBK

I did have a pearl...like 6 years ago, haha.

[Reshababy23]

Shut up ppl fuckn bitch 2 much....no phone is ever gonna b perfect. This one has a better camera...why is there no notificaton light y is this ones internet so slow....its a fuckn phone ppl chill out...its called LIFE

[ByroneSe]

The sprint version looks alot better

[hippls100]

just show me the mother fucking web browsing dam it

[algierssolja]

Is it just me or does the Tmo version seem a little bit laggy at time vs the others. 3:35 when he hits more from me it laggs open vs the others are just butter all day. Is it just the snap draggon? I have heard that is why they uped the speed to 1.5ghz so it will be on par with the Exynos.

[Spontan123456789]

Is there any other really good tmobile phone that will be coming out between now and christmas?

[sankemen27]

just got this phone, its awesome!! :)

[Lucidity337]

Thanks for the good review. Great phone.

[iVilliain]

so this phone doesnt have HDMI out? :( anyway around this? also can someone tll me if I should get the Amaze instead? i really like sense better than touchwiz and the phone looks better, but is the SAMOLED+ that much better than the qHD?

[Mr2Young2KnowBetter]

@iVilliain it has HDMI out

[iVilliain]

@Mr2Young2KnowBetter no it doesnt, you have to have an adapter :) i googled it

[Beatlereviewer]

Meh ima stay with my Galaxy s 4g until it gets cheaper :3

[TheFly212]

7 people are iPhone owners. 

[furQ]

@TheFly212 or brain-havers, take your pick

[Degu1]

Ugggh please hurry and review this phone I wanna get it wednesday! :D

[subsevenman]

Why would they swap the Exynos for this processor? -.-

[Degu1]

@subsevenman To get 42Mbps internet speeds. After seeing some of the speed tests I think it was the right decision...

[siulesoj159]

My HTC Sensation is the BEST!

[harryaiims]

Somehow TMo GS2 clocked 3700+ on Quadrant Benchmark....whereas other GS2s clock 3100-3400.....Maybe the Snapdragon chip will just effect those who play a lot of games, for normal usage it wont be much different from Exynos

[ninetaledj]

samsung phones take so damn long to turn on

[XxZdarkyZxX]

@ninetaledj False.! 

[ChuKhanh]

its a metal band around it? i thought the band was plastic

[darkpixel65]

"I'll get bigger pockets" AWESOME.

And would the Bunker Hill location be in West Virginia?

[XxZdarkyZxX]

2.3.5?

[rickeyhenderson88]

lol "its fast" *shows massive interface lag* android is for spergs

[theshiznut]

@rickeyhenderson88 And you are a fag if you don't know revolutionary technology.

[LoveLiveLifeUnique]

The Samsung logo above the touch buttons are ugly.

[RyanZirnheld]

Only t mobile could fuck up the perfect phone. Samsung creates the faster mobile processor on and earth and what does they do? Swap It out for an A8 processor...

[Fejkok]

They WILL give all the others that overscroll etc. As it is the only way of being allowed to sell the sgs 2 without getting in trouble with apple. It's the bounce thats the trouble maker ....

[iceDreeHD]

Great Hands-On Jerry

I've one question though , regarding the 2.3.5 version , wasn't supposed to be a bugfix for the Sprint Nexus 4G only ? To fix the bad radio connections

[drepope1000]

Very powerful device, but I hate the build quality! That then plastic is simply terrible.

[shinzantetsu]

@drepope1000

same,i wish the edges looked like the other S2's

[furQ]

"it's fast, it's fast!"

*massive input lag*

[FervidSmoker]

Do you think this phone is better than the new Iphone4s?

[jcru40]

This guy sucks. Aron from phonedog is better at this. Awesome phone. Nexus Prime on the way!

[rudolf895]

@jcru40 why you even watching then, hater! 

[latin0dc0swag94]

i wish people would shut the fuck up when they are talkin bout the motherfuckin' cell phone. i hate hearin' their voices. i rather not deal with puttin' the volume on mute.

[firebolt120]

how is t-mobiles coverage???????

[soby19]

why is there no led notifcation light ? please sum 1 explain is there a alternative to it?

[mnguyea]

wow thought you were going to snap that cover!

[erving25]

God you have hands like a hamster

[mrjlwilliams]

@acer157xxx because that's a part of the 2.3.5 update. That is because of the thing with apple, so they changed it.

[atul0002]

Why are there no unboxings, i wann kno if it comes with headphones.

[zen95209]

DISAPPOINTED!

[DELTABOY04]

slowest version of all galaxy s2 models..thanks t mobile!

[crzy0dj]

zooooooooooom <3

[sniper1087]

this is the best phone T-mobile has and I can't stop loving it

[MrGiggity92]

Im in fukin love!!!!

[ThisLaoGuy]

wow that just sucks that tmobile version has to overclock to 1.5 just to keep up with the exynos cousin of galaxy s 2

[lanceealy]

@ThisLaoGuy wow u r a loser so fucking wat just stop complaining

[GAMEBOIMARCUS]

@ThisLaoGuy Would you like it if they had put the exynos in it and had radio issues? If an overclocked snap runs as well as an exynos, what's the problem?

[DELTABOY04]

@ThisLaoGuy  its still slower then the exynos...sad i know

[Acer157xxx]

Wait, why does this varient get an overscroll glow? That should be on all of them!

[lanceealy]

@Acer157xxx bcuz it has android 2.3.5

[Acer157xxx]

@lanceealy But the overscroll glow has worked for gingerbread since regular 2.3 so I just find it strange they decide to add it in 2.3.5. Hopefully they'll add it to their other GS2 variants when they get updated then.

[kyley808]

does it have wifi calling

[ray1965mission]

Great job samsung no doubt. I applaud this review Jerry

[vann200]

Sad to see no led notification. 

[GAMEBOIMARCUS]

@vann200 Sad that you're too lazy to just check your phone for notifications and need a little light.

[vann200]

@GAMEBOIMARCUS So I guess you don't use your notification bar on your android phone. instead you check each app to see if you have an email, text, missed call, or event. Who would have thought quick look notifications would make you lazy.

[GAMEBOIMARCUS]

@vann200 ??? what? You said a LED notification light, what the hell that have to do with the bar? If that what you want, get a BlackBerry or an HTC device, get over it!

[blkrse22]

Great getting it if the nexus doesn't come to T-Mobile. Which would be surprising since. The first two did before anyone else got it

[androidfunmore]

Can you still double-tap the home button to get to the voice command like on the original Galaxy S2?

[rashad123us]

This is the blurriest 720p I've ever seen

[Crunknicka]

he always sounds like he's out of breath..

[acquaz10]

@Crunknicka he's a pretty big guy.
