The successor to one of the most popular Android handsets to date carries a burden of expectations almost as sizable as its 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen. It promises to be thinner, lighter, and faster than the Galaxy S that preceded it, while garnishing Android 2.3.3 with a set of TouchWiz...

Samsung Galaxy S II could very well be the best Android smartphone on the market today. The display with Super AMOLED Plus technology that manages to be both frugal and visible outdoors, while the dual-core 1.2GHz processor does a similar balancing act with power use and performance quote

The Samsung Galaxy S II ranks as one of T-Mobile's most powerful and feature-rich Android smartphones, but it's somewhat pricey.

Was throughly impressed by this phone initially. Loved the native Google apps. Ultimately, it's a fussy phone that requires too much attention. Touchwiz is tacky. Went back to iPhone 4.

Switch from iPhone 4 to SGS2 after hearing everyone on engadget mobile and twit network talking about it. I have been very pleased with the phone so far, I wish CyanogenMod had A2DP working on there ROM, not overly happy with touchwiz. The only android phone I have used that is as good or better...

One of the best phones out today. Extremely light, but extremely powerful. The only way to make it better is to get the battery to last longer.

This is one hell of a phone. Best smartphone ever (till next), the GS2 is the top one in Android world. Easilly beats iPhone 4, lacks in Graphic power and heats up during gaming. Best choice.

It is still a Top gamma for me, after 1year and 6 months of use! Now It is also better then others with my new 2100mAh Extented Battery. Everything is very good on Galaxy SII. I can say it is the most standard on Android Devices.

Its a great phone overall, fast, responsive etc. I have had 3 issues. 1. Battery life really really sucks, I have to charge it to full, twice a day to have any sort of chance of using it. I am not exaggerating, its that bad. Sometimes it also gets VERY hot to the touch, and then the battery...
