Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II review: Brightest star

13 May 2011
It looks like the point where it all ends. A galaxy outgrowing its own limits. An explosion of energy and speed. An overdose of smartphone power. A phone that makes you love the smell of Android in the morning. The likes of Samsung I9100. Update: Samsung Dive overview added...

August 2024 and my Oppo is very lost with all my ID, both physical copies and now pretty useless online type - even safer than ever in the ether somewhere till some minor miracle reunites us...
Yesterday I was handed a pink Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II with some vague hope its gonna get me through. Now I look at the specs for a phone released 13 years ago and almost only wish i had an NFC model...too...im not greedy surely?
Has been an interesting flashback to a time when Samsung could get it right on one model, almost first go! And so far i have managed without any major issue to use a 2011 phone for almost everything 2024 has to throw at us....
Will report anything of interest. IF...
Cant imagine I will take my next new phone as much for granted next time around!

    Great phone, my favorite one. I made a big mistake buying HTC Incredible S instead of the Galaxy SII. Regretted lot of times as SII is better than Incredible S. At that time, I was fascinated with HTC Sense UI and so blindly bought Incredible S. Wrong decision.

          Still boots up until now. Rarely used though, since the battery cannot be charged anymore through the phone's usb port (Needs external charger)

                        OK whoever had the idea to place the camera in the center of the vertical axis instead of the corner, … ah, never mind.
