Samsung Galaxy S2 Specs and Impressions

The Samsung Galaxy S2 is Samsung’s 2011 flagship phone. Under the slim casing runs a dual core 1.2 Ghz Cortex-A9 Exynos processor. It has a 4.3 Super AMOLED display which is beautiful as seen on my Samsung Nexus S. The display is made of tough Gorilla Glass. There is also an 8 megapixel camera and a 2 megapixel front-facing camera.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 has Samsung’s own TouchWiz skin on top of Gingerbread Android. It actually looks more like iOS than Android besides the option to add widgets. What I like about the Galaxy S2 is the build and large display. The 8 megapixel camera also took superb images. If this came with vanilla Android I would’ve chosen this instead of the Nexus S. Overall. this is one solid Android phone by Samsung, probably the best this year, not including the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich update (which TouchWiz will mess up)
