The Samsung Galaxy S2 has proven to be a phenomenally popular follow up to the original Galaxy S. It offers an array of powerful features whilst exuding style and impressive aesthetics.

In this article I will look at the styling of the device, as well as some of its more prominent features.

The handset unit itself measures up at 125.3x 66.1x 8.5mm. Its length and width are forgivable due to the fact that it packs a huge 4.3 inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen. The 8.5mm depth actually makes it the slimmest smartphone in the world at the time of writing, seeing off rivals from Apple (iPhone 4 at 9.3mm) and Sony Ericsson (Xperia Arc, 8.7). The advantages of having a thin handset are numerous. Not only does it make the phone more comfortable to hold and use, but it also fit much better into a pocket or handbag. Additionally it also makes the phone look better; more modern and sleek, not to mention it also contributes to the light weight of just 116 grams.

The styling if the device itself could be described as sleek and minimalistic. It is rectangular in shape with slightly curved corners. Obviously, the ...
... large screen dominates the front of the handset, which almost reaches the side of the handset. Below the screen there is a home button, similar to that found on an iPhone, along with two capacitive Android shortcut keys. Above the screen we have the Samsung branding along with a speaker grill and the front facing 2 megapixel camera.

The styling of the Samsung Galaxy S2 is likely to appeal to many kinds of user, but as an added bonus for those who find the styling a very important factor, there is now a white version of the handset available. This is sure to prove ideal for those who also view their phone a fashion statement, who are looking for a head-turning device which stands out from the crowd.

The Samsung Galaxy S2, aside from being a stylish device, is also one of the most advanced smartphone available. The likes of a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, 8 megapixel digital camera with 1080p HD video capture and the latest version of the Android operating system all add to the appeal of the device. Whether you are a business user seeking a productivity tool for the office, or a multimedia enthusiast who is seeking a device which has the power and compatibility to run your music and video files as well as sync to other hardware devices, the Samsung Galaxy S2 is definitely worth a closer look when choosing your next smartphone.
