Samsung Galaxy S II LTE Review

Score: 66 / 100

Samsung Galaxy S II LTE is a great cellphone launched many years ago, which counts with a medium sized 4.5 inches display, a powerful 1500 megahertz Dual-Core processor, and two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front facing camera.

Samsung did a very good job making this device weight just 4.6 ounces. This device is a compact phone, taking into consideration it packs a 4.5 inches screen and it is only 5.11" long and 2.71" wide. This phone is just 0.37" thick, taking it to the thinnest device's category.

This phone includes a interesting 800 x 480 4.5" screen, providing this phone with a good image quality. This screen uses Super AMOLED Plus capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

Samsung decided to sell this cellphone with a powerful Dual-Core CPU ticking at 1500 megahertz with 1 GB of RAM memory. This cellphone comes with aquite big 16 GB internal storage and a slot for an external memory card, which allows you to install a couple hundred games and applications without worrying about space.

This phone has two cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front-facing camera. It also captures videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps. This camera also counts with a few good characteristics: auto-focus, flash and smile detection shooting.

The S II LTE has Wi-Fi capability (which can be shared with other devices acting as a modem), 4G (LTE) fast connection type and also HSPA+ data connection, which is a lower speed 4G variation and fast 3G connection type, supported by HSDPA, HSPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Samsung Galaxy S II LTE uses a SIM card for GSM carriers.

This device uses a 1850 mAh medium capacity Li-Ion removable battery providing the S II LTE with a quite short battery life. Samsung reports a 250 hours stand by time and a 5.5 hs talk time for this cellphone.

The S II LTE also includes a couple useful features such as NFC, Bluetooth (allows communication with other devices and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

Samsung sells this phone for 305 dollars, which is very expensive for this kind of cellphone. No matter if you want a social device, are an amateur photographer, want it for playing games or want a work device, you will probably be very happy with this phone.
