Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 

Coming in at £35 a month and £519.99 SIM-free, Samsung Galaxy S 2 is not the cheapest phone out there by a long chalk – so let us see if it can match up to that larger price tag. Samsung Galaxy S II is the phone made in Korean firm deems the successor to its best Smartphone so far. It is almost impossibly thin when you pick it up has dimensions of 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5mm mean it is one of the thinnest Smartphone on the market now, rivaling the likes of the iPhone 4 and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc for the title. 

The dual-core race is set to heat up massively over the next few months, with the LG Optimus 2X already released, and the Motorola Atrix, HTC Sensation and iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S all set to bring the tech to market too. Moreover, with a 1.2GHz processor, super-slim chassis and feather-light innards, it becomes easy to see.

You can check out our Samsung Galaxy S 2 video:

It has crazy-light too – when we show you what tech is rammed under the hood, you will be amazed that it all goes in a device that weighs only a shade over 100g (116g, to be precise). The other thing you will notice when you first pick up the Galaxy S2 is the screen – at 4.3 inches it is hard to miss and when you turn it on the super AMOLED and technology hits you square in the eyeballs, (once it is got through the toughened Gorilla Glass). We called the Samsung Galaxy S "the best phone on the market for media" when we reviewed it. Now the Galaxy S2 has definitely improved on that, with a superbly crisp and vibrant screen. 

Samsung clearly traded the premium feel an all-metal chassis might have brought to keep the grams off the Galaxy S2 – pop the battery cover off and you'll find you're holding a piece of pretty flimsy plastic. However, most of the time, you won't be removing this and it fits nicely into the contoured chassis – the mesh feel on the rear also helps keep your hand from getting warm during extended holding. 

The only problem is a slightly schizophrenic auto-brightness - if you try and save battery by having the sensor monitor ambient light levels, then the screen decides to bounce about with light levels even in same conditions. It is as good as the other reviews say. So good in fact, that you cannot stop playing with it, the gorgeous screen finishes the battery within ~4 hours. In standby and normal use (not much talking), it lives fine for a day, maybe even two. However, Samsung has released a fix to solve this problem already, so forget about it. 

Conclusion: Considerably Samsung Galaxy S2 has many amazing feature such as super-fast reaction times and it also produced in slim design and ridiculously clear screen and alwasy has clear call quality and 1080p video recording, which in other side, we will find a flimsy back cover and thus Poor keyboard layout and we must get from Samsung Apps portal. 

Price: Samsung Galaxy S2 is now available under the price $539.99.
