The Galaxy S was a huge hit for Samsung and has in the space of less than a year become their bestselling smartphone to date. Only beaten in popularity by the overhyped iPhone, the Galaxy S has sold more than any other Android phone that has been released. When it first came to our shelves back in the summer of 2010 many people questioned its 4" screen, which was at the time unheard of. Many critics stated that it was too large for a smartphone but they were proven wrong by the popularity of the phone which showed that people enjoy larger phone screens for entertainment and web browsing.

Samsung has taken this into consideration with their follow up handset the Galaxy S2. This has an even larger 4.3" screen and there will no doubt be people claiming yet again that this is too large for a smartphone. But if you hold the S2 in your hand there is not a noticeable difference in size compared to the original and this phone still provides an excellent balance between smartphone visuals and a comfortable phone.

The screen has not just increased in size but has also increased in quality. It now features Samsung's latest ...
... Super AMOLED Plus screen technology that is one of the highest quality on the market. The only drawback of the phone, and in fact the only feature of the phone that does not appear to be as cutting edge as possible, is that it does not come with a qHD resolution like some contemporary devices but instead features a WVGA display. This still provides an excellent level of sharpness and clarity, but a qHD resolution would have made this smartphone perfect in every single way.

The S2 has even more great entertainment features to use than the original. It still comes with access to Android Market where you can get your hands on a wealth of games and apps. Music and video entertainment is plentiful with the phones media player coming with good support, and online video supported from YouTube and other websites. It even comes with a stereo FM radio and various means to stream visual content to a home TV including HDMI and DLNA Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi also comes with support for Wi-Fi Direct making it easier than ever to connect to other wireless devices. The phone also comes with superb 3G connections with HSPA data speeds 4 times the speed of the current standard, making this by far the best phone for mobile internet usage. The phone runs on the latest Android Gingerbread with Samsung's TouchWiz interface on board. TouchWiz comes with Samsung's Social Hub which can combine email, SMS and social networks into one easy to manage folder.

One of the most talked about features of the Galaxy S2 is that this is the first dual core smartphone from Samsung. While companies such as LG and Motorola who were the first to get into the dual core business opted for dual core 1GHz processors, Samsung has upped the ante right from the start by providing a dual core 1.2GHz processor which, combined with 1GB RAM, makes this the most powerful smartphone on the market.

The S2 packs a lot of power, both in terms of processing and connectivity. The larger screen makes this ideal for entertainment and web activities on the move and for the time being this phone is an example of all the best features that the smartphone industry has to offer.
