Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II Reviews

Samsung Galaxy S II Review at CNET

Though some T-Mobile customers might have felt left out of the iPhone party, there's no reason to be sad. The carrier offers one of the best selections of Android devices, and you can now add the powerful Samsung Galaxy S II to the list. With its gorgeous display, smooth performance, and support for faster data speeds, it's one of the top smartphones in T-Mobile's lineup. It's also one of the pricier ones, so budget-conscious customers might want to take a look at alternatives like the HTC Sensation 4G. However, if money is no object and you're looking for a top-of-the-line smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S II certainly fits the bill. Read more...

Samsung Galaxy S II Review at Engadget

For a handset with such a broad range of standout features and specs, the Galaxy S II is remarkably easy to summarize. It's the best Android smartphone yet, but more importantly, it might well be the best smartphone, period. Of course, a 4.3-inch screen size won't suit everyone, no matter how stupendously thin the device that carries it may be, and we also can't say for sure that the Galaxy S II would justify a long-term iOS user foresaking his investment into one ecosystem and making the leap to another. Nonetheless, if you're asking us what smartphone to buy today, unconstrained by such externalities, the Galaxy S II would be the clear choice. Sometimes it's just as simple as that. Read more...

Samsung Galaxy S II Review at SlashGear

Make no mistake, the Samsung Galaxy S II could very well be the best Android smartphone on the market today. Several iPhone users we showed it to said it was the first Android device that could turn their heads from Apple’s range, though the iPhone 5, expected to debut in the latter half of this year, should make for a strong incentive for existing owners to stick with iOS.

The HTC Sensation will bring the main Android competition when it arrives later in 2011, with its qHD display a key differentiator from the Samsung. However, it will have to prove itself against the Galaxy S II’s battery life, screen quality and camera, and that’s no easy challenge. Read more...

AT&T subscribers now have two stellar smartphones to choose from at $199: The Galaxy S II and the iPhone 4S. The S II has a bigger Super AMOLED Plus display packaged in a lighter design than Apple's handset. It also offers a great camera and one of the fastest processors inside a smartphone, plus a highly customizable interface. On the other hand, the iPhone 4S offers more apps, more advanced voice recognition, and a faster camera packaged inside a more premium (albeit older) design. The Samsung Galaxy S II is definitely the best Android phone on AT&T, but we prefer the Sprint and T-Mobile versions because the former offers a brighter screen and unlimited data, while the latter offers much faster 4G speeds.

We'll be conducting formal lab testing over the next few days, but right now, it looks like the AT&T version of the Galaxy S II is one of the fastest Android phones available. On top of its speediness, it has a superslim design, a gorgeous display, an excellent camera and of course, NFC support. But this lock screen security flaw is a big oversight and therefore, I’m giving it a slightly lower score than the Epic Touch 4G. If Samsung issues a fix, we’ll reconsider its score. Read more...

Samsung Galaxy S II Review at TechRadar

You only need to look at the disparity between the things we liked and things we didn't to see what this phone is all about – and if we're honest, some of those dislikes wouldn't have made it into most phone reviews, but we didn't want it to look ridiculous.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 is a phone we're excited to whip out in a pub and show off to our friends – it's the ultimate media mobile, the next generation in web browsing thanks to slick Flash integration, a very good replacement for a pocket camcorder and, goshdarnit, it makes calls pretty well too.
