With my previous mobile phones I always put on a metal case, the Galaxy S2 I dared a plastic housing. It is very striking that it by no means seems cheap and rickety. Clear Metal vermittel still a somewhat more massive impression. Exactly this property makes a cell phone but also more difficult. The S2 is designed for the size of the device thus a true lightweight. When talking about the size you can really only be impressed on how to accommodate all of an extremely smalen housing.
Display:
The display is probably the most debated point in current new phones. And I must say, Samsung has made real progress, especially in terms of readability in direct sunlight. The automatic brightness control which is controlled via a built-in light sensor and the strong luminosity available makes it possible that even in bright sunshine, the display can still easily read. Perfect readability is of course also the S2 no longer, but compared with the high-class models of rivals (iPhone 4, HTC Sensation could both be directly compared with the S2), the S2 over distinct advantages. For color sharpness can only say that wanted to buy the apple, the Super AMOLED technology Not without reason from Samsung!
Power / Battery:
One notices the 1.2GHz but very clearly. Especially when multitasking application no performance degradation is festzusellen. The menus can be liquid Browse and start the Anwedungen without loading times (apart from natural play and something aufwendigenen app, where there is a small natural charging. In normal use (90min Internet, 10 phone calls, SMS 2-5) holds the battery loose 5-6 days through. etc. For power-intensive applications like games will the battery then something fast to its knees, but who wants to play only games should ne PSP or buy something in the direction.
Conclusion:
I have the phone now about 6 weeks and am satisfied across the board.
For me, the biggest selling point is the significant improvement in the sychronisation the phone with e-mail accounts and the contact details.
The S2 has successfully improved many things. Who is a revolution expected perhaps not fully get their money But why everything always brand new opening? Because if in a very good predecessor was (the Galaxy S) has developed much in the right direction reaches sometimes an evolution.
My conclusion: Nothing clearly a league of its own! (We await the reactions of competitors)
Much Greetings
