Samsung Galaxy S II AT&T Review

Samsung Galaxy S II AT&T is a great Android phone launched in August 2011, which features a 1200 MHz Dual-Core processor, a 4.3" touch-screen, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 2 megapixels front side camera. Is that all? No, it's only the starting point of a much deeper review.

This cellphone is just 0.35" thick, making it one of the thinnest phones currently available. This cellphone feels much lighter than what you would expect from a cellphone this size.

This phone is powered by a good performance 1.2 gigahertz Dual-Core processor, included in the Samsung Exynos system chip and 1 GB of RAM memory. A nice advantage of this phone is the 16 GB quite large internal storage and an SD card slot, which allows you to install hundreds of applications without worrying about space.

The S II AT&T is equipped with two cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front-facing camera. It is also able to shoot videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 fps. Additionally, the camera has some interesting features like auto-focus, flash and smile detection shooting.

This cellphone has a interesting 800 x 480 4.3-inches display, providing this phone with a good level image quality. This display uses Super AMOLED Plus capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

This phone comes with a mid sized 1650 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that provides this phone a quite short battery duration comparing with other similar devices. According to Samsung, this cellphone has an aproximate stand by time of 400 hs and a talk time of 8 hs.

The S II AT&T offers wi-fi connection (which can be shared with other devices acting as a wireless router or modem), HSPA+ (4G) connectivity, which is not as fast as LTE-A or LTE 4G networks and 3G fast data connection, supported by HSDPA, HSPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card for GSM connection.

This phone also includes a couple useful features as Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This cellphone is being sold for around $ 200, which is expensive for this kind of phone. The S II AT&T is very appropiate no matter whether you you love taking photographs, want a gamer cellphone, will use it as a social cellphone or will use it as a work phone.
