The Iconic Galaxy S2

Among the Android phones, the Samsung Galaxy S2 is the most iconic and famous. It seemed like a poster boy (or poster phone, for that matter) of the Galaxy phones, that helped Samsung acquire a lion's share in the Android market. It greatly captured the public's imagination and fascination for smart-phones. But which of its features really set it apart from the rest? The following is a quick overview of the highlights of the iconic Samsung Galaxy S2.

Speaking of design, the Samsung Galaxy S2 is said to be among the slimmest and lightest of Android phones. Of course, even the least demanding of Android users prefer the sleekest phone over bulky ones. It carries a wide 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Advanced touchscreen display, which gives off more vibrant colors and eye-popping visuals. Other lower-end phones just use color touchscreen displays.

When it comes to speed and performance, the Samsung Galaxy S2 is a topnotch. It carries a 1.2 gigahertz dual core Cortex A9 processor and a Mali-400MP GPU. Of course, nobody will want a slow smart-phone.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The good news is that Samsung just revealed its plans to load the new Ice Cream Sandwich OS on the S2 next year. Now that's a delightful upgrade.
