There are many Android smartphones in the market today and people love them. And why wouldn’t they? Android smartphones have more and better features than other operating systems. It is also not surprising that many cell phone companies use the operating system for their products. Samsung, for example, has several Android smartphones such as Samsung Galaxy Fit, Samsung Galaxy Mini, Samsung Galaxy 5 and more recently Samsung Galaxy S2 or also known as Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 was launched in April this year and it has been making people care about it ever since. So maybe you’ve heard all about the recently launched smartphone and have been wondering what the fuss is all about. Well here it is: they say that the Samsing Galaxy S2 is the best Android smartphone on the market today. Read on and judge for yourself.
At a glance, the touchscreen bar phone has the following features:
- 16/32 gigabyte storage with a microSD slot

The first Galaxy S smartphone was a success because of the following: Super AMOLED display, Android operating system, processing power, and 720p video recording. The Samsung Galaxy S2 isn’t just a simple upgrade from its predecessor, Samsung added features the Galaxy S didn’t have: LED flash and an improved 8 MP camera. And while the Galaxy S2 is 3mm taller and 2mm wider than the original, it’s lighter and thinner, measuring just 8.55mm thick and weighing just 116 grams.
Two apps included in the smartphone are its video and image editors. The image editor allows you to crop, rotate images, and adjust the brightness, contrast, and saturation of an image. It also allows an application of effects on your images. The video editor, on the other hand, allows you to organize videos, music, and images in a timeline that allows you to create your own movie.
The Galaxy S2 uses the same TouchWiz music player that has been used on the Galaxy S. One of its features allows you to search for songs on YouTube or Google. The video player is absolutely amazing as it boasts of supporting 3 crop modes to choose how you want your videos to fill the screen. You can also change the font size of your subtitles. The video player plays videos in .WMV, .AVI, .MP4 and .MKV formats. HD and large videos are also not a problem.
The Samsung Galaxy S2, with its multimedia features, is undoubtedly one of the best, if not the best, Android smartphone out there today.
