Samsung Galaxy S II

It's been about 3 weeks now since I'd started using this phone. My first impressions so far in these initial weeks of usage...

1. The Android OS - quite intuitive, learning curve wasn't much at all.

2. Excellent hardware specs - awesome camera with flash, processor, RAM, GPS, etc. As good as carrying a powerful laptop in pocket!

3. Thin enough to go unnoticed in the pocket too

4. Impressive battery life - was initially hoping it'd last at least a day per charge. But it exceeded my expectations by a long way. With moderate usage I'm having to charge just twice a week! Not just that, even when roaming & very little coverage, drain on the battery has been minimal. My old Nokia phone would've just died in a few hours!

5. The screen is just too good. Browsing experience is superb - probably the biggest plus so far! I don't mind the large size at all, it's actually good to have a large screen!

Overall, a very positive & totally blown away by the experience so far.

Only crib is regarding the OS itself. It seems to be starting up processes randomly for efficiency sake - even though I don't use apps that frequently during the day! This causes an unnecessary drain on the battery.

  1. played with this gadget the other day at the mall. felt that the white screen on this phone has a blue tinge added. when compared(physically put htc dezire hd and SGS2 side by side) the difference is striking. also the heat sink was not that great. when played a game(not really just opened and played 2 soccer shots) the piece was hot enough.
