The Samsung Galaxy S II is a very stylish smart phone. From the moment I held it in my hands; I fell in love with it. It totally looks amazing. It is very thin so if you are the kind that loves slim phones then it is the handset for you. The first thing I noticed was that it looked elegantly black and flat. It has a two mega pixel camera and a push in home key right at the bottom.
The great thing about this phone is that it allows you to add your own shortcuts making it easier to personalize this gadget. You also get a reader’s hub that is quite useful especially if you love to stay on top of things. You get to access online books, newspapers as well as magazines. The Samsung Galaxy S II also comes with an easy to follow guide for those using the phone for the very first time.
The one thing I loved most about this phone was the fact that it allows the user to combine both face book and twitter into one stream. This is great for someone who wants to stay in touch with friends and family. Finally, if you love online games then this is the phone for you. You will have a direct access to Game loft, something you will not find in other smart phones in the Android market.
The cons
Like with almost all smart phones, there are a couple of things I did not like about the Samsung Galaxy S II. I did not like the fact that the primary home screen is way on the far left and not in the middle which makes it hard to reach. Fortunately, you are provided with an overview which allows you to zoom in and reach it faster.
