Watching this in 2021 on a s21 ultra 5g. The s2 was my first real "smartphone." I was blown away when I got it. I remember thinking that there was no way phones could ever get quicker or that phone cameras could ever get better
I remember seeing this in a mall and I told my wife that I wanted one. she said, why do you need such a 'gigantic' screen. it was the best buying experience. the number of roms I've tried on this phone and switching back to stock rom. haha. i even bricked the phone and then connected the 1st and the 4th leads of the micro usb to revive it. no other phone has given me that amount of satisfaction. lol. it was fun back then and the Android community was very enthusiastic too. anyways, typing this on my OnePlus 3. haha
Typing this on my 8T. How times have changed. I remember the S3 aswell. I remember seeing advertisements on TV and i thought it looked so futuristic and slick. Now, almost a decade later the technological advancements are so big that CPU's in smartphones are comparable to CPU's in laptops and PCs. It's really stunning to see the technological advancements around you that are being made.
This was my first Android phone in 2012. And used it for 4 years. Thank you so much samsung galaxy s2. Without you i couldn't have been enjoy this much. What a memorable time and excitement in that moment was. I wish i could bring that time back and live again that moments with galaxy s2.
Juz got my Galaxy S22 Ultra today. Came to watch this for nostalgia sake n to wonder in awe how far ahead we have ventured in this technological galaxy unfolded by Samsung. And yes, i also own the Fold 3. Lol
I have this phone since June 2011 and I am quite pleased with it, though the battery still lacks longevity. The fact that I am able to run Android 4.1.2 on it even after 2 years is quite amazing.

this was the first smartphone that i had and it felt the best tbh. Have used s20 plus s8 plus s6 edge 14 pro max but this phone felt the best when i first had it
I am a unit of pre-owned S2. The battery reading at the top right hand corner of the screen is not accurate. At times when powered up the reading reads differently and is not consistent, it can be high or lower. It also takes like 5 hours to charge up a depleted battery to full. Is it normal and I suspect the previous owner might not have fully discharged the battery prior to charging. memory effect. I will like to buy a new battery and replace it will the problem go away. The unit is old and the power on standby button is not always responsive.
I'm just wondering, but I know some android phones have this feature where the phone can act as a wireless router and offer internet to other devices such as a laptop. Can the Galaxy S2 do that too?
This was the phone that DEBUTED Samsung in the world of smartphone and ultimately gave it the crown. It's a Legend, and icon of how a smartphone should be. I remember that it's original ROM was the fastest and fluidest ROM of any smartphone, much faster than Apple's iOS. Everybody was talking about it and I got mine when the White version came out.
If I got this unlocked version on Amazon and insert my AT&T sim, would it have access to USA's Android Marketplace? I heard in some cases people would only have access to UK's apps. I don't want the AT&T version because i just prefer three buttons and i'm only halfway through my contract.

Hey PhoneArena :D I was wundering if you can do a review of the samsung galaxy s2 after the update to android 4.0 ics. Would like to know if it is a good update or you are better of with gingerbread.. Hope you answer :D
Mum got one of these a few days ago... everyone keeps thinking its mine since I'm always on it and I always answer calls XD Definitely getting my own though, best phone ever!
What are you talking about ? This is the best reviewer. These U.S babblemouths can't even stick to one topic but bla bla all over the place. Very objective for a review.
Excellent review. Thanks for helping me decide between the Galaxy S II and the HTC Sensation. I wish you would have commented on the performance and battery life also....
@giantiger12 I'm not sure about that. In terms of user interface no one can beat out Sense UI. Samsung's TouchWiz was the one that made me think "iPhone?". HTC's superb build quality and user interface is much better in all aspects. I'm a fan of metal not plastic I guess.
is it worth it to buy an S2 now? Is it like the iphone 4S about the smoothness? :) So, does anybody has lag issues with the S2? Thank you very much :) Please, with all the sincerity. I have to decide between this two.
But you know with SI right...I only got it few days ago. It runs out of battery SO easily. Has this phone improved on that issue? :/ Maybe cos I use animated wallpapers thats why...?
@ricefarmer912 ATT bought T-Mobile? Do you know of any phones from for Q2 ATT? I want a better top-tier dual core processor phone. There's plenty of international ones, but I'm not willing to drop as much money on one since I get a pretty hefty discount for ATT.
@KamerideGhost I just bought one today at Best Buy from AT&T and it came out to around $164, the one from Sprint was around $200 but it had 4g while AT&T had 3g. Apart from that it's close to $100 per month for service via AT&T with a single 2 year contract.
does anyone know if you can change the font size on text messages? for me it's too big, i don't like people sitting next to me being able to easily read my texts...
well actually a lot of people does and in fact the reason why theres no speed limit on these highways is cause they are almost empty and very wide so is pretty doable
@KamerideGhost Sorry I said that AT&T was 3g, it's just when I bought it it didn't say 4g while the Sprint one did, but upon reviewing the info from my phone I did find out it was 4g, so I'm guessing that the price difference between Sprint and AT&T is just pure company.
It's crazy how far Samsung phones and Android have come in the last 10 years, this phone would be considered "compact" these days it still amuses me when they said this phone was gigantic, my current phone is a OnePlus 8 Pro with a curved 6.7' I kinda miss the early days of Android phones. They need to bring back removable batteries and headphone jacks.
Was thinking of waiting for the iPhone 5, but tbh, I highly doubt it will be as good as this, and i'm not waiting till God knows when to get it. I tried the Galaxy S2 out in store yesterday, and it blew me away. The display is amazing, with INSANE contrast, color reproduction and sharpness. It's extremely responsive too, more so than the iPhone, which is meant to be the most responsive out there. Blazingly fast too, and has a stunning design. May be my next phone, unless HTC Sensation beats it.
Watching this in 2021 on a s21 ultra 5g.
The s2 was my first real "smartphone."
I was blown away when I got it. I remember thinking that there was no way phones could ever get quicker or that phone cameras could ever get better

Back then... IPhone was better. More so the 5 and S5 era later on. Now, android all the way. 2019
Best review ive seen so by far, thanks phonearena!!!
this was the first smartphone that i had and it felt the best tbh. Have used s20 plus s8 plus s6 edge 14 pro max but this phone felt the best when i first had it
Got mine about 2 weeks ago... I love it. Can't see myself ever moving away from Samsung. It's so well made.
Ru still using samsung?
Looks nice! Where can i get one?
where did this guy go? i miss his reviews. what was his name ?
Why are the calling/texting aspects not the first things to be tested?
the views of someone on phones in 2011 vs now is crazy, so much has changed
My God... It's been released 11 year ago.
This is one of the main reasons why android took off
Does it have a front camera?
Well I am sold, thank you this pretty much did it for me. I am picking up my phone this afternoon. Thank You phonearena.

Watching on S24 Ultra in 2024. In just 13 years, samsung phones have evolved A LOT.
What do yall think of advancements of s3 in comparison to the s2?
This was the phone that DEBUTED Samsung in the world of smartphone and ultimately gave it the crown. It's a Legend, and icon of how a smartphone should be. I remember that it's original ROM was the fastest and fluidest ROM of any smartphone, much faster than Apple's iOS. Everybody was talking about it and I got mine when the White version came out.
Its shit
Not to mention the scathing attack samsung done to Apple in its advertising... Genius.
how is the music quality through headphones compared to the iphone 4?
hey does it have gorila glass ?????? what u think should i get it or switch to htc or lg ?????? plz helppp ??
This is my first android fone.
If I got this unlocked version on Amazon and insert my AT&T sim, would it have access to USA's Android Marketplace? I heard in some cases people would only have access to UK's apps. I don't want the AT&T version because i just prefer three buttons and i'm only halfway through my contract.
Finally got mine s2 today! Soo happpyyy!!!:D
Watching this on my Galaxy s2 loving it
why do some galaxy s II's have the home, back search, etc buttons on the bottom but some just have one button?
You said the atrix has a higher res? Doesn't it use the pentile matrix?
Hey guys please help me pick. Your ranking to iPhone 4S, Samsung Galaxy S II, and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc? I don't know which to choose.
@V3N0MousProductions the NEC Medias N-04, it's 7.7 mm thick, where as the SGSII is 8.49mm. NEC Medias is bound for Japan’s NTT Docomo carrier, specs-wise the NEC Medias should offer Android 2.2 Froyo upon launch. There’s also a 5.1MP camera, a 4-inch LCD of 854×480 resolution and then ofc the 7.7mm razor-thin profile. All this fitted in a body of just 105g. The screen of the device is protected by some Gorilla Glass.
I've just got the SGSII though, couldn't be more excited :D
What country and carrier did you get this on? I am looking at one in the US and on t-mobile and it has different buttons on the bottom.
I agree. I think even after 2 years this phone will be fairly usable.
Hey PhoneArena :D
I was wundering if you can do a review of the samsung galaxy s2 after the update to android 4.0 ics. Would like to know if it is a good update or you are better of with gingerbread.. Hope you answer :D
htc desire hd or samsung galaxy S II?
which is better, please help me !
@Blaisinator What are you talking about ... the brand Samsung comes from Korea so the Samsung Galaxy S II is a product of South-Korea, not Japan.

Excellent review. Thanks for helping me decide between the Galaxy S II and the HTC Sensation.

Bro... that was a beast back in the day!
Definitely a trend setter phone that launched Samsung's phone creds
When is it comin' out to the U.S.? Anyone know?

Whats the latest price of Galaxy S 2 in Barcelona? Please help. :)

So, does anybody has lag issues with the S2?
Thank you very much :)
Please, with all the sincerity. I have to decide between this two.
And now we are in s8+ This Was shit Back in 2011 nostalgia
I actually hope if Sprint gets a version of this, it has no qwerty keyboard. The onscreen is good enough for me!
video recording ??
But you know with SI right...I only got it few days ago. It runs out of battery SO easily. Has this phone improved on that issue? :/ Maybe cos I use animated wallpapers thats why...?
@ricefarmer912 ATT bought T-Mobile?
Do you know of any phones from for Q2 ATT? I want a better top-tier dual core processor phone. There's plenty of international ones, but I'm not willing to drop as much money on one since I get a pretty hefty discount for ATT.
Price?
does this work on tmobile 4g??
is this phone 4 att or sprint
Watching old phone reviews tickles me
look how far we have become
@KamerideGhost I just bought one today at Best Buy from AT&T and it came out to around $164, the one from Sprint was around $200 but it had 4g while AT&T had 3g. Apart from that it's close to $100 per month for service via AT&T with a single 2 year contract.
does anyone know if you can change the font size on text messages? for me it's too big, i don't like people sitting next to me being able to easily read my texts...
so? mine is a week old. and the SII is older
When are they gonna make a global s2 plus. It should have same screen size but hd with faster processor, new touchwiz and similar price.
well actually a lot of people does and in fact the reason why theres no speed limit on these highways is cause they are almost empty and very wide so is pretty doable
can someone tell me what the price of this phone is, with contract??
I wish this would come to ATT by Q2, but it looks like I'm stuck with phones like Infuse and Atrix.
Samsung Galaxy S II vs HTC desire 601. Which is better? Need urgent advice!
***** Zenfone 2. lol
i will get mine after 3h. can't wait. hope it will be awsome like it is! :)
question: why make a preview AND a review?
just trying to clarify things here
@KamerideGhost Sorry I said that AT&T was 3g, it's just when I bought it it didn't say 4g while the Sprint one did, but upon reviewing the info from my phone I did find out it was 4g, so I'm guessing that the price difference between Sprint and AT&T is just pure company.
@henrik1107 Probably yes... Samsung released Galaxy Nexus in Novemer, and Galaxy S III will be out this year, so choose :)
Can someone tell me how much is this Phone ? Thanks.
could you show me a megavideo player on the phone
@Opadome How could you justify iPhone 4s price??? They're increasing its cost due to its brand name.
i'm getting it for the games, it works really well for the games because of its wide screen and is very great for a fun person like you sound like :D
Still my daily driver! Typed from a Galaxy S2.

Say what you want about Samsung lack of updates but this is beautiful well put together phone and great review as well.
@MRXantrax Just use launcher pro or adw x launcher and you get rid of the touchwizz stuff, that is what I am using on mine.
