- Опубликовано: 6 ноя 2024
- MobileBurn.com - The Samsung Galaxy S II is the second generation of Samsung's massively popular Galaxy S flagship smartphone line. It features a large 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen display, a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, and HSPA+ 21Mbps download speeds. We tested a UK model in this video, but AT&T will be releasing a similar device with a larger 4.5-inch screen called the Infuse soon. More info: www.mobileburn....
This is called a review, now i know everything about the phone i need to know to make a decision. Great job mobileburn
Thanks for the great review, I already new the specs but wanted to see it in action, am I the only person that thinks it has taken way to long for a smart phone this good to finally arrive?
Very good review Michael Oryl. Why did you stop making reviews from 2012 ?
I'm totally getting this when it releases here in the states.
best review I've watched so far for this phone, thanks
Michael definitely sets the standard on how to do thorough reviews. I've never seen any one do a more comprehensive reviews than Michael.
Keep up the great work Mike! :D
The Samsung Galaxy family of cell phones are perfect for the smart phone user. They come with any feature you could need or ask for and are very attractive as well.
Well I actually bought an SII and like it mucho. This is a good review, and for those wondering about call quality, it is very good. The speaker is a little rough at higher volumes, but definitely passable.
The interesting thing is that SGS2 has a framerate cap such that it never goes above 60FPS and even with this it manages such amazing benchmark scores!
when he records a video while in video maker mode, it says "maximum resolution supported in video maker is 1280x720" which pretty much explains why his previously shot videos didn't show up there.
Excellent review. I'm having a hard time deciding between this phone and the google nexus which will be out next month. Nexus only has 5 mp cam and super amoled display though. So does ice cream sandwich overcome those two downsides?
very good review !!!
really showed us the practical usage of this phone !!
much better than others which just slide the screen from left to right .....
This phone is AMAZING. Do you have a guestimation as to when this might be released in the U.S?
@WonderfulLins the galaxy series from samsung seem pretty solid. a mate of mine has the galaxy S and it works wonderfully. and i've just ordered my galaxy S II
How about the battery life on this ? under heavy load (say, a game) how many hours you get ?
great review btw
This is a great review showing the power of this marvelous phone, thanks a lot!!
Great Review! One question left, for me. Can you use the samsung like an USB storage? I'am an iPhone user so i can't put for example word or pdf files on my device and take it to another pc. Maybe this is normal for android so forgive me if this is an silly question.
@prodigypackage it depends on your opinion. Sensation has higher resolution screen but the SGS2 has a crisper and brighter screen, same speed as far as processors go, the user interface is similar. i would go to the store to use them both for a little while. use the home screens, internet, and some other stuff you would use everyday. also check out a side by side comparison video
I love the looks of Ginberbread OS. Buttons design, colors, 3D effects was way better than current minimalistic crap.
OMG........is he your son? he is super cute! i forgot about the phone for a while...but I am so in looove with Galaxy SII
@Royaltiezz7 No, you don't. It just has to be on the same network. My PC was not on WiFi.
im excited about the release of the galaxy s2 in the US, i only wish they kept the body type with the 3 physical buttons.
Samsung made a new setting where you can change the color temps of the Super AMOLED screen to reflect closer to real life color temps.
I do think SS should border above and below as motorola defy, smaller screen to look at it will definitely neat and beautiful
so far best review i sow on youtube. thx.
@6spdtls
He usually gets them directly from the manufacturers as sample loaners. He has to return them after the review sessions.
@mobileburn try this
press the back button while you pressing back button press the home button
in the first galaxy s this combination take a screenshot of the display
what I need per day (from 5.30am to 23.00 ) from my phone: >3h to use navigation, >5h surfing the internet, ~2h for watch movies or play the games, make or receive calls ~30min , send/received sms ~10, and bluetooth is always ON. Question: What I'll miss if I leave charger in home??? Thanks for all
Can you take photos with the front camera? also I'm looking at getting a new phone my main choices are the Samsung GALAXY S 2 the Sont Ericsson Xperia Arc and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. Which one do you think I should get? After watching this video I am pretty linked to the Samsung GALAXY S 2 but I would like some other peoples views. Cheers
Yes you can, once you turn on ur phone you will find skype app already installed along with youtube,facebook and twitter.
@lockedabout i myself have this phone and i think the batterylife is good as long as you don't use very much multitasking which drains alot of power.
You can't edit the video because the max res is 720p hd for the clips in the video editor. You probley have the resolution set to 1080p hd.
Great review :)
I´m missing a comment about the battery´s life time
Do you know, when Samsung Galaxy S2 will release in USA?????
@diddy0the0dog A version compatible with AT&T 3G just passed through the FCC. That doesn't mean too much, though.
@daone247365 yesit has. press the home + power buttons together. it was even present on the original galaxy s with 2.1 eclair
another great review. may possibly be switching from iOS to Android. Never used it before other then testing in store. you answered a lot of my questions.
how is the calling?? its a phone getting that phone for my birthday
are you facing any audio problems with this phone ? the volume in headphones while listening to music is a pathetic experience for my on my galaxy s2.no workaround even after fidling with equalizers or other softwares mentioned on xda-developers.kindly tell me if there is any solution.
since there is no youtube on this phone, can you get a youtube app onto the phone? can you get the same apps as the iphone with this phone?
@XFaZeGamer 16G or 32G depending on which handset you go for- as far as I know anyway :)
@bloodaid Its up to you. Galaxy s2 is much cheaper than the iphone and iphone5 will be more expensive than and iphone4 and galaxy s2. But as i heard rumours about iphone5 it will have 8megapixel camere and dual core a5chipset and ios which is same as galaxy s2 . Hope it helps if u have any question feel free to ask :D
Those benchmarks are amazing it looks to be 4 times as fast as its predecessor the galaxy s, wow. I want this phone. Does anyone know when it comes to the U.S. specifically T-mobile?
@BustedController Just wondering if ur still enjoying ur galaxy s2 & u likes & or dislikes if u returned it.
you can't edit 1080p video, that's why the videos weren't showing up
This is definitely a worthy successor to the original Galaxy S.
does the galaxy s 2 will come to the middle east with full features including all hubs ?
did anyone else notice that there is zero connection for cell service and its on wifi. just curious can you record sending a video with this phone via text message ? could you please post being able to do that since it says video messaging because something tells me you cant unless you make it droped to zero quality where you cant recognize the video.
@lazyboy327 contd. Roaming rates throughout the EU have been capped at 42c for making calls within the EU and back to Ireland, 13c to receive a call within the EU from anywhere in the world and 13c to send an SMS within the EU and back to Ireland. And if the carrier doesn't like it they know where the door is. And why would they complain when there are at least 4 other companies turning a profit under the same regulations.
Will an unlocked version operate well with t-mobile? I am contemplating ordering it from amazon.com
the paid apps in android market are not available in middle east and i live there so does it worth to get SGS 2 in middle east ?
Aren't you forgetting something, hello... it's a phone! how is the call quality/reception/speakerphone??????????
Is there any way to turn off the auto focus on the video recorder?
Why is video mode zoomed in, and the still picture mode not?
i was always wondered.......how many phones do you own?
@myzonetech U can install other launchers, TW4 doesn't support that.
@TheMiilawn
It's Touchwiz 4, what do you expect?......
YO! Mah namez JAROME! And I'm a proud african American standing tall and proud for da great US of A!
I think THIS VIDEO was pretty helpful aight it helped me makes an nformed decision so I could Go out n BUY my phone with confidence knowing I'm getting a decent phone.
So please thank you for this video and YA come ovah n visit Georgia some day we go for beers and I'll show you mah phone. Much LOve for you brotha

Michael Oryl is the best tech reviewer around...seriously.
Can this phone be used as a wifi hotspot for your laptop to connect too
The HTC desire could do this
@5k4e2n9 I assume you're not aware that Samsung manufactures and uses more original parts (eg. Exynos; SuperAMOLED+) than Apple's iPhone. iPhone's touchscreens are manufactured by the same company that supplies Nokia, SonyE and Motorola, Bluetooth by Cambridge, A4 and some A5 chips from Samsung and other components from Marvel, Philips and Broadcom. The iPhone alone is a copy of several inegrated devices from the past.
@overshot11 its Tmobile and AT&T... i think, im not sure though
this is tough... getting a new phone from tmobile. i currently have an HTC but I'm willing to get anything from the best of the best, even out of my HTC comfort zone. Only problem is that I'm having a very hard time choosing between the HTC Amaze 4g and Samsung Galaxy SII. This is mad difficult. Any suggestions?
@joshiet99 yes the 3g is slow sometimes. it is on both at&t and verizon (mostly at&t) but he was on edge which is even slower
hi. coud u do a htc sensation vs samsung galaxy s2? that would be fun to watch.
@hello2ew wheres the sense of having more than 60fps when your eyes only see 16fps and 24fps needed to see a un-laggy picture except for benchmarks which dont need much hardware?
I actually dont know whether its possible - no need for it!!
@chronic308
You can always use the compare button from the gsmarena site.
but as of now the sgs2 is waaaay superior than htc sensation!
@EP8841 Hey, if you really want a quality phone that is fast, slim, light-weight, you should go for the galaxy s2. Also, the main reason i got attracted to the galaxy s2 was the super AMOLED screen. It looks amazing in real life. Plus the camera is awesome. The galaxy s2 is better than the Xperia Arc or Play in every way i could think of. Maybe their design is better, but the galaxy s2 is still goodlooking.
@daone247365 Yes it has. press Home +power butttons together. it was even on the original galaxy s 2.1 eclair.
@charitha95 no question! i mean both use icons, both use touch screens... it's practically a clone!
is it possible to turn off the shutter sound?? thank you if you do answer
@mobileburn do u think this phone is going to tmobile ?
cant you chance the text? like on some phones you can change the way the words look?? is that possible on this phone?
how is that battery for a heavy user ?
yess i get mine on next friday (payday!!) i cant wait it looks soooo awesome!
any idea when ICS will be released for S2?
do you know when its coming to canada?
I'm really looking forward to the Galaxy S III :)
When on da web, does it have a button for cut and paste or do u have to hold down a word to get it highlight then cut and paste? And how much window can u open to when on the web?
does it have pre-installed screen capture like the g2x or optimus?
Does anyone know if you can tether this phone into a tablet? Or has anyone tried, if you have this phone already? And how's the battery life throughout the day usage?
Although it is now October. 19,"2012", I am still excited to be purchasing the Galaxy II model, even though the Galaxy III is now out. What more could I possibly really need other than what this phone offers? If I were to buy the Galaxy III tomorrow instead ( at $369.00 ) the Galaxy IIII would be introduced & out the following day! No thanks! Like I said, there's nothing else I could possibly need in a phone than what is offered in this one. What else can they possibly have a phone do anyway, r
is the maximum of home pages 7 ? or we can change it in the settings?
@ChaunceySeepcrack what NOVA display? nexus s has super amoled, galaxy s ii - super amoled plus
@Mettabosna
depends,
if i only use it for phone calls or sending messages> like 3-4 days
if i play 3d hd games and watch hd movies> maybe 1 day
How is android market compared to app store?
Question:
if i buy a app on s2, and get a new phone (say, LG) and it also got adroid. will i be able to tranfer that app to my new phone?
@TheForge10 If it is not locked down by a carrier then yes.
@darkomerc0806 I don't have to take both phones in hands to know what the PPI density of both phones is and I have an iPhone 4 myself and my mum has a Galaxy S (first one) which are basically comparative just as the Galaxy S II will be comparative to iPhone 5
When it comes to the u.s what carrier will it be on
@omgyesplz1 Just like the original galaxy S, im pretty sure its gonna be on all major carriers along with the sub-regional like U.S. Cellular and others.
@omgyesplz1 I think it's gonna be from sprint and they changed the name to Samsung Within!
does this run stock android? I'm just trying to get my facts straight.
is this a better phone than the htc sensation
@mobileburn what does it mean 'on the same network'
@mobileburn
apparently Home + Power buttons = screenshot
@madzappa I agree. I tossed away many a phones due to crap volume and sound quality. Seems lot of phones are made to the purpose of making music sound "good", not actually make speach sound sharp.
@unhackmee and why exactly did you grow tired of iTunes? also why did you remove your comment? :/
do you need wifi on on your computer to use kies air
@The101TV how is battery life on it?
