“Very happy with this phone!”
Written on: 19/04/2013 by waltermackey (2 reviews written)
I love this phone. I was in the market for a new phone and have really been impressed with Samsung's line of products, so I went with this phone. The play store (which is their version of the app store) is awesome! I have also noticed that android users get many more apps for free. The camera on this phone is awesome and has a great quality (as does the video). I also love the screen size, which is huge, it really makes everything easier to see. Overall, I am impressed and have grown to love... (read more)

Sometimes when downloading an app from play store screen goes blank then mobile restarts up again after closing , This is not a problem for me as when it restarts it goes to where i left off, I also recommend Lookout Security its free from play store , Also on movie tube films play excellent no buffering no cut offs , Sat nav excellent, The only thing i miss is the fingerprint lock which i had on my motorola atrix Thank you for reading jk (read more)

I like the nice look, big screen and high resolution, also easy to use and very responsive. I can get many app, watch many movies on it, cool! But the battery is not the best, could be much better if with a long-lasting battery! (read more)

I could tell you..That my friend bought this phone coming into excitement and had to pay its price..he used the phone for 2 months and then sold it ..

“Better quality expected for the cost”
Written on: 28/11/2012 by Unhappyoflondon (1 review written)
A few days ago Id have enthusiastically recommended the S2 until the phone failed to recognise my SIM. Randomly and out of the blue. According to Google it seems not recognising the SIM is a common problem - the operating system gets corrupted and its the talk of lots of technical forums Despite this Samsung don't have a fix for it - and I'm not technical / foolhardy enough to attempt a fix.
On advice from Samsung I tried a reboot and lost all my data and contacts.
I now need to travel...

“New phone”
Written on: 14/11/2012 by thiek2 (11 reviews written)
Just received my S2 and like the phone, but, upgraded from HTC WILDFIRE and unfortunately S2 is lacking in no led light flashing to let you know of messages and also only gives one audible warning of messages instead of repeating as the HTC did, therefore 4/10 instead of 5/10. Camera is a big improvement and connecting so social media is super fast. Back cover is a little flimsy but not a big issue as once it's on it's on. Would recommend a cover as screen looks a bit vulnerable with it... (read more)
“Great Phone, Awful battery”
Written on: 05/11/2012 by supermanheldme (3 reviews written)
Ive had iphones since the first gen came out. Until i was given a samsung i had got bored of the iphone. To a degree that i was ready to revert to a simple blackberry (Please forgive me). Anyway i was given the S2 from someone who had recently upgraded. It took me a week or two to really get into it but its a great little phone. The battery life is dreadful compared to the iphone but the rest of it is great. Only other issue is it has a really bad keyboard to it. The responsiveness of the... (read more)

“Best Phone I've had”
Written on: 04/09/2012 by inewyork60
Works very well. Better screen and options than the blackberry I had before. BUT - I had another galaxy s2 that I lost before this one that didn't work as well. I've tried my friends' iphones but they were too small. I love the screen, it could even be bigger. My friends keep breaking their iphones but I've dropped this phone so many times, no screen damage yet. (read more)
“Strong, Powerful, and Overall Great”
Written on: 18/07/2012 by NafasJaan (1 review written)
Great phone that has so many features that I've yet to use them after nearly a year of ownership. Very strong processor with a super-bright screen. I have the T-Mobile version which has the huge screen. The downside is that it drains battery pretty easily (it'd be a good idea to purchase an external battery for whenever this becomes an issue) and it can be hard to carry in your pocket. I would recommend this phone to others, but given that the s3 is out, this phone may soon be considered... (read more)
“A lovely customisable phone but useless at the same time”
Written on: 13/06/2012
I own both an Iphone 4S and a galaxy S2 and prefer the Iphone by far. The Samsung is not a bad phone, it is in fact very good. the customisation options are fantastic, the openness of the handset returns me to a day whereby I could happily choose a ringtone myself without buying it for a few quid from some capitalist regime somewhere on foreign shores. The problems lie in the fact that the Iphone although fascist in nature is also very easy to use as a phone. The Samsungs texting in... (read more)

“Good phone, however plagued with to many faults.”
Written on: 21/04/2012 by MichaelcRichards01 (4 reviews written)
Let me start off by saying this is in many respects a very good Phone, it has a nice bright big screen with decent colors and a good resolution, its nice and light and feels good to hold, is generally a nice bit of kit. Unfortunately, I've had to many issues with mine to credit it anymore then 2 stars. After owning it for a month, the main board burnt out meaning that it could not make or receive calls and was stuck in flightmode, credit to Vodafone for their fast diagnosis and repair...

Written on: 23/04/2012
This seems to have been a rogue model. I've had the SII for ten months now and it's great. How can you break the USB port? I have huge paws and am very clumsy and haven't broken anything. You are better off 'managing' your data use a bit - when at work or involved with something else, switch the data off; at home, I just plug it in beside me and switch the wi-fi on. I use it like a computer: Facebook, Twitter, Plants v Zombies etc and the Internet (quite a lot) along with my full collection of music on a 32 gig card. I love it and have just upgraded the OS to Android 4 (ICS) I got this phone for nothing as I have a contract (con-trick?) - but hey, I'm happy

Thanks for your comment Neilhutch.
The phone is genuine as it was purchased with my 18 month contract, and has been sent off to Samsung whom have also had a look at the phone. The USB charging point is like every electrical product, the Achilles heel because you're forever pulling and pushing it when you are putting the cable in to either sync with your laptop or charge from the mains.
I'm the same, I use this phone for internet more than I use my ipad 2 or laptop. I have no problems with using the internet, it's just like as I've stated in my review that there are other issues with the phone.
having just installed the new update, everything seems a lot more stable, although I've had to do a few battery pulls recently when the phone has crashed.
Im buying the new HTC phone next week mind (Qaud core processor), looks a fantastic bit of kit. Hopefully I will have more success then I have had with the S2.

Found a great deal on the galaxy s2 at contractphonedeal.co.uk, they had it with 10 months free line rental so initially thought it was too cheap to be true but got it delivered next day on orange for free and its been a dream since. great quality phone and nice informative site with lots of reviews on phones (read more)

I have owned this phone since it was released and I have to say WOW what a phone. It's easy to use if your a beginner but has all the features and functions you need if you want to go in more depth. The battery life could be better but then again if you have the latest update it helps a lot. Apps are endless and there are some really good one. I use my phone for everything. Messaging, SatNav, Pictures, Books, Videos and also if you want Phone Calls!! Pros: * Screen Quality is Amazing *... (read more)

I agree with everything that SuzukiKev says. I had an iphone3 but when my contract was up I chose the Galaxy S2. I have an iPad so no need for 2 apple products... and could not be happier with the Samsung. So easy to use and great screen fantastic camera...I could rave about it all day..

I moved from Samsung to iPhone back to Samsung for the Galaxy Note and all I can say is I'm glad I did. Love it. Much more sophisticated, no need to plug it into a computer for updates or to add music to it. Absolutely superb!

“The Uber Android Phone”
Written on: 30/12/2011 by qqris (4 reviews written)
I have the phone for a few month by now and would describe the Galaxy S2 as simply amazing. Absolutely no complaints, it is super light, thin, fast and has so much to offer with all those crazy Android Apps and Widgets out there in the Android Market (data plan required). Many people have complained about battery life but in my experience the Galaxy S2 battery can last a few days when not surfing or using the internet 24/7. By far the best smatphone available!

Love this phone. The system is so easy to use, and the screen is like silk. When I had to a use an HTC the other day it felt like a dinosaur in comparison. My husband has an Iphone, this is a million times better, he agrees with me and is very envious of my Samsung. :) (read more)
“Samsung Galaxy S2 Geek Review”
Written on: 21/11/2011
The Samsung Galaxy S II is the phone the Korean firm deems the successor to its best smartphone so far. And with a 1.2GHz processor, super-slim chassis and feather-light innards, it's easy to see why. 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. Coming in at £35 a month and £519.99 SIM-free, the Galaxy S 2 isn't the... (read more)
“Gorgeous Display, Awesome Phone”
Written on: 03/11/2011 by AlbertoRios (1 review written)
This phone is amazing. As far as look goes, it is *thin.* Like, 8.49 mm thin. A lot thinner than the iPhone 3G that I owned previously. Despite the fact that it's thin, the curved sides allow for easy gripping. The casing itself is plastic, so it feels less costly than other all-aluminum phones, but its absolute thinness prevents if from feeling low-cost. It is a classy phone. (read more)

I bought this phone after using a blackberry for 2 years. Great phone with great apps and looks really smart too. The only problem is the battery life which is very poor. I've had to charge it teice in one day and thats not good. I'm hoping they will bring out an improved battery as I love the phone itself. (read more)
