Awesome phone! Im a proud owner! :)

Phone owned for less than a year

It's great overall. Had some issues initially with some gameloft games not being supported, but eventually new ones came out which made up for that. The ICS update was one of the first also in the Android Smartphone world which proves that this phone is one beloved chump! Highly recommended, although I would've loved an HD display and Video Stabilization in it, and more contrast in the pictures he primary 8mp camera takes.

One of the best, if not the best phone even after a year

Phone owned for more than a year

Have not had any problems with it other than Touchwiz and poor feel in the hand. It's too thin/small for my hands, but that's easily fixed with a case. Other than that it's pretty much perfect. Came out almost a year ago and is still the phone I would buy. TouchWiz is easily removed with custom ROMs. One other phone that I'd buy is the Galaxy Nexus. Pretty much the SGS2 without touchwiz. ICS is awesome.

EXCELLENT

Phone owned for less than a year

The BEST phone I ever used so far! Encounter no issue with it until now. The SuperAMOLED Plus is just awesome. Camera's good as well. Battery for an Android handset is fair. I'm waiting for CM9 to boost this beast even more! The only phone that will beat this beast will be the GSIII

Awesome but could be better

Phone owned for less than a month

The brightness of the galaxy s2 could be better since the super amoled steal make it a bit darker and the camera in the galaxy s2 is epic in photo capture but not as good in recording video since it dont have anti shake

Good specs, very smooth use on the internet but call quality poor

Phone owned for less than 3 months

I have used it for 3 months. Perfect internet communication device, perfect for browsing, any other option, for example a laptop had become useless for that purposes if you have this. Most people mentioned perfect features, I am OK with them. Not a single freeze in Android throughout my use in 3 months. I had two problems one is a major one. Minor one is the sound quality when you listen music, it is very good, but is not good as it was in Samsung Galaxy S (my previous one) and definite as Iphone 4s (I compared it). For me this is a shame for Samsung an Electronic giant and a chip manufacturer.

The major one deserves another paragraph, "outgoing sound quality during phone calls". An echo in my voice, sometimes metallic, sometimes deep, nearly unintelligible by the listener. Funny thing that, you do not really notice this easily since it is the other people suffering this problem. People complain after a while and then you can notice. I checked other parameters that can be the cause of the reason like reception, the GSM operator, and then give it back the service, they said they have changed the microphones but it was not any good. Now I am not using Galaxy S 2.

A really fast and complete package.

Phone owned for less than a month

I took this one after cheking both him and the new RAZR. I love taking photos, so the RAZR's camera was voted out. The screen is magnificent and the interface is fast. The interface shines in the notifications panel, and shames itself when organizing apps. Other than that it's balanced, stable and even has some resizable widgets.

The build is good but plastic all around. The speaker and the camera perform at 100%. The headphones produce some good sounds, although I would still take on my old Xperia X10 for that. Plays every movie I try with it. Connects through wifi to the computer. Samsung's own content is a nice touch + the FM radio is a huge bonus for me.

I don't think there is something else to say. If you hate Itunes like I do, this one is a safe bet.

The phonewhich meets my needs

Phone owned for less than a month

I saw alot of people here mentioning that the battery life sux. In the beginingI was estitating to get this phone but after using Juice Defender software on my Motorola Milestone, I knew that it will boost up my battery life in this phone too. And the result is perfect. I can play my Drag Racing game for almost 3hrs non stop and my battery still shows 36 to 40 percent. I'm running on a custom ROM which gives megreat results on all the applications and performance. My best Benchmark is 6545 in Antutu. Guys, if you really want great performance, than you should upgrade the firmware and add in custom application to boost the speed of your phone which will not affect the hardware of your phone.

I Bought 2 of these just to HAVE A SPARE ONE (Just in case)

Phone owned for less than 3 months

THE BEST PHONE EVER BEEN MADE... :D I love it.. IT DOES ALL FOR... It is my faithful slave. I use it to the 100% of its capabilities (cause my an IT student) and Professional Programmer in several programming languages. I think the UI is very good. It has nothing to jelous of Apple iPhone 4 or even 4S. Is the fastest smartphone right now in the market.

Congratulations SAMSUNG!!!

The best phone ever made to-date

Phone owned for less than 3 months

The SuperAMOLED Plus display makes you hate every other display. The interface is so fast u never have to wait for anything. It's so thin and light you don't feel it in your pocket. GSII is definitely the best Android phone ever.

This is what a smartphone should exactly be!

Phone owned for less than a month

Dual-core processor equates to unbelievably fast reaction times. It's super slick and it's super quick. It's incredibly thin and it's very light. The Super AMOLED Plus screen is the best mobile screen I've ever laid my eyes on. The call quality is great. The camera takes awesome shots and the 1080p video recording is a dream! It plays any kind of video format that I throw at it. The pre-loaded applications right out of the box are a welcome bonus. Even the battery lasts surprisingly long!

the best phone I've ever had as of yet.

Phone owned for less than a month

Everytime that I take out my phone, someone always wants to comment on it. (good things) of course. Like they want one and where can they get it. (www.immix.com). So far i have no cons, all pros. I would recommend this phone to all. The HD video recording and screen is unmatched as of yet.

Technology Leader

Phone owned for less than 3 months

It's the best one currently on the market. Display, camera, performance, functions, design, size, weight, it's leader on all these specs. It's famous and it's not extremely expensive. It is number one on sells. A pleasure to use and hold. The battery life is not better than the competition, but it's not worse, so it's not a minus, and there are a lot of battery saving options.

Tremendous Smartphone

Phone owned for less than a month

My old phone is Nokia N95 8GB so you can't compare both at any level. Display and Performance is really outstanding. Video is Superb even full HD is also playing very smoothly, but audio quality is not outstanding it's not upto the mark.
I have installed more than 150 apps even it's working outstandingly...

The BEST smartphone ever!!!

Phone owned for less than a year

The SGS2 is a great smartphone, the battery life isn't that good, but as someone who works next to a computer all day long that isn't a big problem as it can be charged via USB cable..
The display is just AWESOME and the camera is good too.
I don't regret buying it, it's worth every cent!

Phone owned for less than 3 months

When i buy the galaxy i was amazing how great is to have it, but its terrible tegra 2 is better has more technology, the super amoled is great, is to thin that i feel thats is going to break thas terrible.

Excellent Smartphone...Samsung has beaten all the other companies

Phone owned for less than a month

amsung Galaxy S II is the sequel to the critically-acclaimed Samsung Galaxy S Android smartphone. It comes with the newer Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, and an even larger screen at 4.3 inches of Super AMOLED Plus goodness. The Galaxy S II upgrades the camera to 8MP and adds an LED flash to it, together with 1080p video recording. A 1.2GHz dual-core chipset is running the show so as to deliver a fine performance without any hints of lag

I am speechless!!!!

Dropped my Atrix 4G for the SGS G2

Phone owned for less than a year

I don't regret dropping Motorola for this equipment. It works and works well, not available is the US as of yet. Easily modified software and community support is amazing. This beast is fast and responsive, and overclocked to 1600MHZ dual core. I am amazed every single time I compare this phone to my old Atrix 4g, it absolutely blows that peice of junk out of the water. I will never again purchase a phone from a carrier store, or MotoFAIL for that matter.

Well..not that great

Phone owned for less than a month

When I bough this phone, I expected something far more luxury and refined than thin,cheap looking slap but i guess Samsung is Samsung
Call and signal quality was fairly good, camera too but device like Sensation is far better for multimedia
touch wiz is still one of the worst android UIs,display is great,speed too,battery is s**tty as hell
