Samsung GALAXY S II Plus Specs

8.1

Description

Samsung just announced the rumored Galaxy S II Plus on the hush-hush, and the specs don't differ from the ones it had on its 2011 flagship, but the phone is breathed new life by loading it from the get-go with Android 4.1.2. It also supplied it with its latest Nature UX interface, which features options like Smart Stay that keeps the screen on when you are are looking at it, and PopUp Play, which detaches the current video in a separate hover window, so you can do something else underneath. Other than that, the specs stay a 4.3" WVGA Super AMOLED Plus display, 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, a gig of RAM, 8 GB of storage plus a microSD slot, 21Mbps HSPA+ radio, and an 8 MP rear camera with zero shutter lag this time.

This device is also known as Samsung I9105

Owner's Review
Phone owned for less than a year

I compared lots of smartphones when i bought it just not to be sorry and I am not.
I had an Apple iPhone 4S for more than a year, than i had this phone for 10 months and now i have an Samsung Galaxy S3. So I am not a fanboy for Android, Apple or Windows phones.
