This surely is the true competetion to the iphone by apple. Samsung has really beaten the competetion hands down on multiple front. Load up your android phone with best android apps for free from http://bestandroidapps.in and unleash the true potential of your phone.

a 2 years old iphone 3gs is still faster than gs2.. i mean it never lags or hangs and i've seen a galaxy s2 lag a couple of times everytime you operate it.. shameful.. such monstrous hardware is put to no good use

For those considering to buy S2. I think this is a very good phone considering the large beautiful screen, the Android OS being customizable (which I really like) combined with the dual core CPU. for me, this is definitely a GOOD BUY and buying this Saturday!!!!
For Iphone 4S, everything is good with this phone too. User-friendly device Id say for everybody. Performance is almost similar to what S2 has (debatable at some point). Anyway, both phones are lovely smartphones and I would buy them both and if only wifey is approved of it. :D
Now back to comparison, GS2 being one of the best smartphones in the market so far running on Android honeycomb (Im excited with ice cream sandwich) and Iphone 4S at its best for its latest IOS5(well of course the best there is for IOS since its their proprietary software ever since and its fast!(tried it and used it for a couple of days with iphone4 so how much more with 4S!) And so, in my own opinion, the only argument here is the OS of the phone depending on your preference. I like S2 because they use Android with its customizable capability unlike Apple IOS which is limited to changing wallpaper and managing apps with folders (no widgets, live wallpapers and other stuff like this which Android can) Though application wise, Google still needs more apps to develop to catch up with the many Apple apps available in their market. But of course, not that much I guess these days cause Im happy with the apps Ive downloaded so far and theyre all free!! thanks to the free websites offering direct app downloads. (Just beware of the Android Market problem with the google login) cause Im one of the them who's problematic on getting apps directly from Android market (both from app and website). But this doesnt stop me from buying another Android phone cause Ive tested downloaded apps from other websites using their direct download links and tested their apps using my little buddy xperia mini pro(latest one).. Anyways!
Its really up to you whether you like a customizable OS but with limited apps available to grab from android market free/paid apps/I can download paid apps for free from many websites in the internet(some may work and some may not) and google still working to expand their apps availability to android users and so need patience on this OR choose the one with a simple UI, user friendly interface by Apple with almost all the apps you need (consider the price too/use free apps or go with the jailbreak version) with Iphone 4 or 4S. Oh consider the the size of the screen too! 3.5 vs 4.3 (i love bigger screens) heck thought xperia mini pro would suffice my needs but I was wrong cause I love the internet and always do browsing. I didnt realize the disadvantage of smaller screens until I had one. but no regrets with this phone because it also rocks and its just the screen size.

Tina, 18 Aug 2011first of all i dont feel like replying to someone anonymous... moreI completely agree with you...Gone are the days when a mobile phone was judged by its weight. If somebody wants light weight phone why choose smartphone...buy a nokia simple phone. I have never heard anybody complaining about iphone which is pretty heavy. But Battery life is defo defo important! Hope Samsung hear our suggestion.

@gsmarena team: you say in page 6 in the review, "The available options during a call include taking a note,".
I found no such option, can you post a screen shot?

AnonD-17831, 14 Aug 2011One thing this or basically all Android phones lack is prop... moreMy dear friend, I can understand your loyalty towards I phone but everybody has choice to choose what he thinks is best. All the observations you have made about S2 are not correct.Blaming S2 does not make i phone a great phone. Both devices have their own strong points. If you like IOS please do not compare it with android. Its altogether a different operating system. But you will have to admit that in android range this is the best phone available at the moment.There are many things which IOS does not even have which Android has. so comparision is pointless. Hope you get my point.

To all samsung galaxy s2 users,do u think and feel that the phone will getting warm to hot easily among 15 minutes ago during u r playing game and online.What i found was that most of the slim' phones can be warm faster just for a few minutes when u r playing...especially online.The apple iphone also as long as i knew from my friends...why?ist too slim?But it is only the nokia phone which i seldom to meet this kind of problem.If it is truth and recognised from u,dont u felt so uncomfortable during using these phone?
