The Samsung Galaxy S2 has proven to be very popular for the Korean manufacturer. It boasts an impressive spec list which is matched by very few handsets. It has the versatility of the Android OS, along with some seriously capable hardware.

In this article, I will provide an overview of some of its key features o you can decide if it is the right smartphone for you.

Aesthetics
The Samsung Galaxy S2 is arguably one of the most stylish smartphones currently available. With its super slim profile of just 8.5 mm, it is a pleasure to hold and use, and it is also very light weight at just 116 grams. With both black and white versions available, it is a great looking handset which is head-turning but tasteful.

Dual-Core Processor
The Samsung Galaxy S2 was one of the first smartphones to boast a dual-core processor as part of its spec list. At 1.2 GHz, it is a very powerful addition and it is great for many aspects of the phone, namely multitasking, web browsing, responsiveness of the touchscreen etc. It also allows demanding applications to load almost instantly and perform efficiently. It will probably ...
... not be long before all smartphones have dual-core processors as standard, and the Samsung Galaxy S2 is the perfect showcase for this technology.

Camera
The Samsung Galaxy S2 performs brilliantly as a camera phone, with an 8 megapixel camera with an LED flash, face and smile detection and even 1080p HD video capture among its credentials. The camera is easy to use, and as you can imagine, the resulting images are of very good quality, thanks to the high pixel count and resolution of 3264x 2448.

Android OS
The operating system of choice for the Samsung Galaxy S2 is Android v2.3 (aka Gingerbread) which is the latest version of the software optimised for smartphones. This is increasing in popularity at a fast rate, and many experts believe that Android devices will soon be more popular than iPhones. Whether this happens or not, users of the Samsung Galaxy S2 are in for a great user experience, thanks to the high levels of versatility, customisation and ease of use that the Android platform provides. Samsung has created its own user interface to run over the top of Android, called TouchWiz. This provides multiple customisable homescreens, and a number of available widgets. One of the major advantages of the Android OS is that users can access the Android Market, and much like Apple’s AppStore, can browse thousands of apps for download, from numerous different categories.

These are just some of the features of the Samsung Galaxy S2. The popularity of this handset comes as no surprise; its predecessor sold over 14 million units before this version was released. The Samsung Galaxy S2 is available now, offered by numerous UK networks, many of which are offering the handset itself for free upon signing up to one of its tariffs.
