The Samsung Galaxy S2 features a brand-new technology named as Super AMOLED Plus, which will be eye-popping in its brightness and quality. The Super AMOLED display screen in the original Galaxy S was leagues in front of almost all smartphones one the market, so to step forward to yet another generation of display screen technology is excellent. It's completely a fight for Apple's Retina display, even when the S2''s resolution of 480 x 800 pixels won't be really the highest.
The surface area of the Samsung Galaxy S2 is growing to cater for the enlarged display screen, even so the Galaxy S2 still rests in the hands nicely due to the outstanding thinness. At only 8.5millimeters, Galaxy S2's the thinnest mobile phone available on the market. Down below the display screen you may see a single home press button flanked by a couple of touch-sensitive control keys for Menu and Back. It is a minimalist style that offers you all you need. With 116g Samsung Galaxy S2 is pretty light for such a high-powered beasty, and which is credit to the plastic design. It doesn't have the high-end feel of a metallic case, but reduces the risk for the reception issues that have plagued the apple iphone 4 and also to some extent the HTC Desire S. Some thing called Gorilla Glass is used to provide protection to that all-important Super AMOLED Plus display.
The operating system is the most up to date version of Android – 2.3 (Gingerbread). Android os is our number one option for smart phone Operating system, and world-wide selling of Android phones appear to be running over iPhone quite decisively. The volume of apps available has surpassed the 100,000 level and is on-going to expand speedily. Android 2.3 is put together here along with a newer version of Samsung's TouchWiz ui – version 4.0. Along with various home screen customisations and Swype text input for quicker typing on the QWERTY key pad, this brings out a number of hubs into the ui. The Social Hub, which we've found on original Samsung cell phones delivers together contacts, calendar and email with Instant Messaging, facebook and twitter. Reader's Hub is a platform for ebooks and magazines, with accessibility to more than two thousand newspapers in 49 languages and featuring interactive functions like page curling effects. Music Hub is a combined music player and Music Store – we will have to see how that works out. Probably much more interesting is the Games Hub the place where you can easily get premium High definition games (and quite a few no cost games) optimised for the S2's dual-core processor, Super AMOLED Plus display screen and 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope sensors. Galaxy S2 also comes installed with social games – We Farm, Safari, We Rule, We City. Being an Android phone, the S2 offers pre-installed with everything Google, including Google Maps 5.0, Gmail, YouTube, Google Calendar, Google Talk and Picasa integration.
The headline grabbing feature of the S2 is its dual-core processer. It's not the original dual-core cell phone to be launched (that's the LG Optimus 2X) however it is the most highly estimated. Any one who has received the instantaneous response of the single-core Galaxy S can question the need for a faster processer, but the 1.2GHz dual core processer opens up new possibilities in video – particularly the Full High definition video recording capability and the improved video gaming.
