Samsung Galaxy S II - 3G smartphone / Internal Memory 16 GB - microSD slot - OLED display - 4.27" - 800 x 480 pixels - rear camera 8 MP - noble black

I am on my second Samsung galaxy s2 and it isn't working no better than the last one. I just recieved this phone a week ago as a replacement for my last s2 and my phone is still freezing up, scrambling my screen, losing service, key pad jumping on its own, pressing the screen on its own, powering off for no reason, and dropping calls. I honestly feel like every s2 has a defect in them because both my sister an I are on our second s2 to find it doing the same as the last. I feel like Samsung should do a recall on all the s2's and reimburse those who have it or allow the service providers to let us upgrade free of charge. I love the way the camera works on my s2 but the phone itself is horrible.

I upgraded to this phone from the Evo4G and was very reluctant after reading some of the reviews. I have had zero problems with it rebooting on it's own or locking up. The display is beautiful even in daylight. The voice command features work as well as my Evo or better. For the people who have had battery life issues; all you have to do is make sure you turn off the GPS when not in use, turn down the screen brightness a little, turn off the hepatic feedback and click sounds for touch or keystrokes, set your data update frequencies to something other than always on, and set the screen timeout setting to 2 minutes or less and your battery should last all day with no issues. As for the interface; it works pretty much the same as the sense interface and only took a day or two to get used to the flow of it. Otherwise this phone is excellent on the web with the dolphin browser. My WiFi and Bluetooth work flawlessly too. As many other have stated, the camera takes crisp clear pictures and has plenty of setting to adjust if you want to. The sound quality is excellent and with a grand total of right at 50Gig of available storage with a 32G microSD card installed; you will have a hard time running out of storage space with this phone. My only complaint would be that the screen resolution could be higher, but the picture clarity is still hard to beat even at the lower resolution given the brightness and vibrant color of this phones screen. Of course I wish the price was a little lower when I bought it, but you always pay a little something for the newest phone your carrier has right...Overall the best phone I have ever owned and I'm still loving it after a few months of use!

Rear cover needs better grip. Being a power user , battery doesn't last a day for me. Getting an extended battery. The camera has no shutter silence. Funny thing my friends S2 on Tmobile has that option. Why not on Sprint version? Without rooting (for now) I use headphones or a cut off an unused jack. It still beeps softly but you can barely hear the shutter sound. Other than that it's a good phone.

have had my new epic for 1 week and I put a phone thru its paces. This phone is nothing short of fantastic!!!! speed, design, ease of use it puts an I phone 4s to shame so if all you want to do is carry a status symbol get the apple. If you want a phone that does all you need it to do in a lighting fast pace then invest in this phone. You will not be sorry!!!!

As an Android user of a little over a year, and coming from an HTC EVO (which was a great phone as well), I could not be happier with this upgrade! The phone is super slim, super light and SUPER fast. Batter life is fantastic, so refreshing after having to carry around extra batteries for my EVO. The screen is gorgeous and so receptive to the touch. Active Sync is quick and the newer format is awesome. I could go on an on about this phone, it is truly a fantastic piece of technology!
