Samsung Galaxy S II T-Mobile Review

(SGH-T989) Score: 65.3 / 100

Samsung Galaxy S II T-Mobile is a great Android cellphone launched many years ago, packing a high performance 1.5 GHz Dual-Core processing unit, a medium 4.5-inches touch-screen, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 2 mega-pixels front camera.

Samsung decided to equip this cellphone with a great Dual-Core processing unit running at 1500 MHz, packed into a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 APQ8060 chip with only 1 GB RAM which is a bit low for such a good phone. Collaborating with graphic intensive apps, it also has a 266 megahertz Adreno 220 graphic processing unit. This device has a quite large 16 GB internal storage and an SD extension slot, allowing you to install hundreds of applications and games without worrying about space.

This phone is incredibly thin, being just 0.37" thick. This cellphone is quite a compact phone, considering it has a 4.5" screen and it is only 5.11" long. This cellphone is much lighter than what one would think about a cellphone this size.

This phone features two cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 2 MP front-facing camera. It also shoots 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 fps. This camera also counts with flash and auto-focus.

This cellphone is equipped with a very good 4.5" display with a 800 x 480 resolution, which makes all photos and videos look beautiful. This display uses Super AMOLED Plus capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

The S II T-Mobile provides Wi-Fi connectivity (and it can share it with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (HSPA+) data connection, that is not so fast as LTE networks and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM carriers.

This phone also includes a couple interesting features as NFC, Bluetooth (3.0) and GPS Localization, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This cellphone comes with a 1850 mAh medium sized Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours, although you will need to charge it even after moderate use. This cellphone has a reported 7 hs talk time and a 167 hours stand by time according to Samsung.

Samsung offers this cellphone for $ 110, which is somewhat expensive for comparing with similar phones. If you will use this phone mainly for social networks, will use this phone to play lots of games, you love taking photographs or will use it for work, this phone is probably the correct choice for you.
