Brand new Samsung Galaxy S2

The Samsung Galaxy S II is the follow-up to the extremely succesful Galaxy S, and it is a powerhouse of a smartphone in a fantastically sleek and lightweight design. Considerably thinner than the original Galaxy S and rivals such as the iPhone 4 (8.49mm v 9.3mm) the new Samsung Galaxy S II is light (only 117g) and packs the latest version of Android (Gingerbread).

The Galaxy S II boasts a 4.27-inch WVGA (480 x 800) Super AMOLED Plus screen display, an 8-megapixel camera withLED flash and 1080p full HD video recording, video playback at 30 frames per second and a dual-core processor, with each running at a blistering 1.2Ghz. The one feature most people will notice immediately is the screen; the 4.27-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen has colours visibly brighter and more vivid than other phones, with better contrast and lower power consumption, superb for both gaming and watching video.

Samsung have also made improvements to the user interface, with four hubs to help you make the most of your Galaxy S II; Social, your chatting life in one place, Readers, Samsung's new ebook reader area, Game, the easiest way to download and play the best games, and Music, with access to over 12 million tracks.
