Samsung Galaxy S II-The New Android King

Approximately one year ago, I shared with you guys a phone destined to slay the (then) iPhone produced by Apple; One year ago, the phone was so sensationally good that people have actually turned their heads and wallets away from the rather back-lagging iPhone and pick Samsung Galaxy S! One year has gone and Apple has clearly seen its lead being trimmed tremendously. Now the already "outdated" iPhone will have to content with Samsung Galaxy SII! I don't think iPhone 5 which will be released next month can dethrone Samsung Galaxy S II.

Samsung Galaxy S II

Do you know that Samsung Galaxy S II managed to surpassed the 3 million units sold mark in just 55 days? Now let's do some maths here: At least one Samsung Galaxy S II (GSII)has been sold nearly every 1.5 seconds, which made us to 57,000 GSII being sold daily. Wow! Hence it is now Samsung's quickest and best-selling smartphone to date. That speaks volume about the phone quality right? I believe no one can deny the fact the Samsung has been making better phones compared to Apple. Let us see why Samsung Galaxy S II is simply way better than iPhone shall we?

Super AMOLED Plus will blow you away!

For starters, the newest, sexiest incarnation of Samsung Galaxy S comes with Super AMOLED Plus. AMOLED Plus is claimed to enhance readability and improved battery life. With its amazingly generous 4.3inch display, one can expect nothing but unbelievable multimedia richness from Samsung Galaxy S II. It seems that Samsung has really put this smartphone of theirs under rigorous exercise huh. Measuring at 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.49mm and weighing a mere 116g, it is easily the thinnest smartphone in its class. Throw in a full Gorilla Glass front panel and voila your Samsung Galaxy S II is now like your 43inch LCD TV. Ha :D

Experience life in the fast lane with 1.2Ghz Dual-core processor.

LG Optimus 2X was the world's first smartphone to showcase a dual-core processor. But it didn't take long for that claim to be thrown into the history book with several smartphones climbing up the shelves spotting the same "old" 1Ghz dual-core processor. Samsung Galaxy S II wanted to come out with a bang and its 1.2Ghz dual-core Exynos processor certainly didn't disappoint. Pair this 1.2Ghz dual-core processor with 1GB or RAM and 2GB of ROM, guess what you will get-insane, blistering, raw processing power. How about storage for your GSII? Well you can opt for either the 16GB internal storage or the 32GB internal storage. Still not enough? You can slot in your very own 32GB microSD then. :p

Do you know that Samsung Galaxy S II is actually capable of shooting FULL HD 1080p video at 30fps, which is really a rarity. So now you can capture all those priceless moment of your loved ones vividly. Samsung Galaxy S II boast a stunning 8MP camera complete with autofocus and LED flash. Flip the phone and you will see the 2MP camera sitting comfortably on the front panel, making videoconferencing and self-portrait a snap! Having 2MP for a front camera is considered quite impressive as some smartphones have only a VGA camera to show.

Readers Hub-You very own library in your pocket.

Don't like to bring along your heavy, hardcover books? You forgot to bring your favourite magazines with your on your business trips? Worry not as Samsung Galaxy S II's Readers Hub is here to rescue the bookworm in you. Now you can leave your book shelves or library at home. With more than 2 million titles to choose from, you will be spoiled for choice. I heard, "How about newspaper and magazines?" Those who need to have the latest news around the world from their preferred dailies and love to read entertainment magazines will be happy to know that...there are a whopping 1,600 newspapers (in 47 languages) and 2,500 different magazines (in 20 languages) for them to choose from. This is what we call reading books beyond papers right?

Seamless connectivity.

It seems that Samsung Galaxy S II has been designed with seamless connectivity in mind. Now you can share virtually anything in your Samsung Galaxy S II with anyone or...any devices. Yep! With AllShare your Galaxy S II can be linked wirelessly to a laptop, TV or even an audio system which is DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compatible.
