Samsung Galaxy S II review -- Engadget

At first, I thought it was just going to be another Android phone. But after reading this review, I can faithfully agree that this is going to be a benchmark for other Android phones to look up to. I mean, seriously, they had to try hard to find anything wrong with it lol. I only see two main downfalls: No dedicated camera button, and it's made mostly out of plastic. Otherwise, it stomps on any phone on the market.

I'm going to get it when I start a contract with AT&T (I'm currently only using my personal line). From what I understand, it is coming to all carriers just like the previous Galaxy S devices. Samsung is really starting to impress me, I didn't think much of them before. What do you guys think?

Please, no "ANDROID ***** iPHONE FTW" comments. Yes, there is a chance that the iPhone 5 could be better, but we know almost nothing about it besides the processor it is going to use. It's got a lot to live up to. Like all iPhones, it will have to attempt to hold the crown for an entire year (until the next iPhone launch), so if it doesn't make the Galaxy S II look like a Pantech, well, yeah lol.

Wow, this phone looks absolutely stunning. I'm using an iPhone 3GS right now, and it was a huge upgrade from my LG Chocolate Touch. If I have a chance to upgrade my phone, I'm definitely getting this.

I'm waiting for my Nexus S 4G to arrive. I've heard it benchmarks in the 4500 range out of the box. Played with a display and it is lightning fast.

Yeah. To be honest, I am most impressed with the lack of delay, lag, etc. from just general use. That's my main gripe with the Atrix. Watching the second video of him playing around with it, I noticed maybe two different millisecond stutters in that whole 7 minute video. Everything loaded extremely fast (all the apps), navigation was seamless.

Add on to that possibly the best phone camera/videocamera, the thinnest waist (in american, there is one international phone that is thinner), the best looking screen, 4.3" of real estate, HSPA+ compatibility, and the best processor and most ram of any phone on the market...

I love the Nexus S! It's probably my favorite phone on the market currently (mostly because of its screen). But it sure as hell doesn't do 4500 out of the box lol. I've read stories of people pulling 4500 out of one that is hacked to hell, but there is no way its faster than the Galaxy S IIwith a inferior single-core 1ghz processor (compared to a dual 1.2).

The funny thing is that Engadget found out that the Galaxy S II was only using 9% max of its potential processing power

It'll be worth it! Hopefully it won't cost more than $200, but I'm guessing it will...It's probably gunna cost no more than $250.
