  1. Shit in 2014 i was watching alots of vids of the s2 including this one cuz i wanted to buy one and i did. It was a good phone back then until its falls at the sea. Now its dead. Rip my s2

  2. This phone is really really great but what I miss is psychical LED for notifications. Somehow I manage to find an app which turns my galaxy s2 into LED which responds to some notifications. It's great.

    If someone will find this useful, here it is:

  3. Hi my girlfriend got the iphone5 and my s2 is smoother got a way better camera and quicker in allways it got a little bit bigger screen then the 5, all im saying is the samsung galaxy s2 is a piece of masterwork you shut really thinking about buying it and i know when you asked about the 4s but i just laughed hard at his ansew you cant even compare those 2 the 4s is like a nokia against the samsung s2, thats all hope i helped you 🙂

  4. this version of the phone is soooo ugly. I hate how the camera looks on the back. The Sprint version when the camera isn't a square but a oval or whatever is so much prettier.

  5. I am looking into getting a new phone with my income tax to replace my cheap net10 phone,what i would like to do with my phone is watch youtube,play games&some emulators,listen to music and surf the internet.
    The 2 phones i have to chose from is a exhibit II for 179$ or a GS2 for 299$,which should i get?
    keep in mind i also have some car repairs to do with my income tax.

  6. Now that's a tough one. Both a great handsets, so the main things to consider would be whether you prefer Android or iOS interface? The 4S has a better screen (retina) and produced slightly better photos, but we actually found the S2 quicker with loading web pages and scrolling through apps etc. Hope that's helpful! As we always say, the best thing is to go into a store and have a play with the devices to see which you like best.

  7. Yes you definitely will feel the difference. It's a much better phone than the Ace – bigger and better screen and a much better camera. We'd say yes!

  8. I've been planning to buy it months ago, I like very much its appearence :), more than S3, iphone, lumia 900, etc. I have the exact amount.
    I have an Ace right now, am I gonna feel the diffence? 😀
    I want it to use Facebook, the camera of course, specially a smooth, comfortable web browsing experience with no lag applying the zoom in and out. I think a dual core is more than enough.
    Thank you. I'd like very much to hear an opinin from a fan 🙂

  9. Well it's not high-end – of course we now have the S3, but it is a very good phone. What is your budget and what is most important to you in you smartphone? (camera, speed, screen quality etc).

  10. Yes it is brilliant quality. How do you find the storage on it though? Do all the high-res pictures take up a lot of space? That would be my worry.

  11. Hello. Yes it does, but when you go in to use the camera with the highest resolution possible, the effective megapixels are 38. Do you have one? Thanks for your comment 🙂

  12. Macro is for close up stuff and focusing on things in the foreground like an insect on a leaf for example. What are you trying to take pictures of?

  13. We didn't have a stand-alone camera review video of the S2 so thought we better get on it and do one! There was a little bit in the full review, but we thought it needed more. Check out our Galaxy S3 camera features video in the responses above. Thanks for watching!
