The Samsung Galaxy S 2

This is a phone like no other and calling it a phone just sounds wrong. The name galaxy is appropriate now more than ever. The galaxy S 2 is definitely on a league of its own. In the past all touch screen phones have been compared or mostly contrasted with the iPhone but this is one phone the iPhone looks up to. The galaxy S set the pace last year and even before we got the hang of it the galaxy S 2 set a new standard. This is mostly due to the fact that it has a dual core processor.
Specs wise the Galaxy S 2 has a large 4.3 inch screen with super AMOLED. The processor is 1.2GHz dual core Cortex A9 with 1GB of RAM. Graphics wise there is a Mali-400MP GPU and Exynos chipset. There is an 8MP camera able to record 1080p HD video. The front facing camera is 2MP. There is also full flash support and GPU acceleration for web browsing and the browser can also play 1080p videos. The phone is also extremely thin at only 8.5mm. There is also USB host support meaning that you can plug in your flash drive. Apart from that there is the usual HSDPA, Wi-Fi and GPS.
Just from the specs the phone is clearly a winner. The software given the honor is the latest Android 2.3 gingerbread. Despite all the features battery life is still decent. Web browsing is a pleasure on such a large screen. Gaming is smooth all the way due to the enhanced GPU and Google takes care of the rest when you visit the android market. The ability of the galaxy S 2 to play 1080p video leaves me with no words. This is probably the first phone you don’t need to hack to enjoy it fully. The features out of the box are simply overwhelming.
The galaxy S 2 shines in all departments. It is thin, light, extremely fast, user friendly. It also has excellent audio quality and also it runs android. All that praise has come from a Symbian fan boy so I don’t know what Samsung and android lovers will have to say about this super phone. The Galaxy S 2 will leave a legacy that will live on for years to come. It might take two more iPhones to make us forget the Galaxy S 2. This is one phone you will tell your kids about.
