Loud and crystal clear, you will never have to ask your friend to speak up even in the middle of Times Square during New Year’s. The Galaxy S2 series have very, very good speakers, it’s one of the best I’ve tried. The bottom of the AT&T Galaxy S2 features a micro-USB port for charging, syncing with your computer, and also you can get a MTP micro-USB to HDMI adapter to mirror your screen on your HDTV (which works quite well by the way for playing games). The AT&T Galaxy S2 comes with 16GB of internal storage (which you can use 11.3GB of it while rest is reserved for system) plus you can get additional 32GB with an external microSD card slot as show in above photo. Here’s a demo 1080P 30fps video of AT&T Galaxy S2 showing you some motion in low light and also hand-held still video in bright sunlight:Īlso, the Galaxy S2 is capable of multi-touch zooming if video setting is set to 720P or less, digital zooming works quite well for a smartphone. I’ve tested this 1080P with a Droid Bionic and the Galaxy S2 has more vibrant colors while the Droid Bionic does better with audio. The Galaxy S2 has ability to record in full 1080P 30fps (frames per second). Here’s some more macro-shots in low-light settings:Ĭheck out the video of macro-photography on the Galaxy S2 in action:Īlso the 2-megapixel front camera does well in picking up (too many) details: Below is photo of the shot glass and Heineken beer bottle with change in depth-of-field: You can easily change the focus during close-up shots using the multi-touch screen. Here’s some close-up shots of various different things showing macrophotography: Here’s some Galaxy S2 camera samples (you can click on photo to see original). The Galaxy S2 has an 8-megapixel camera, does a helluva job of taking photos in bright light or low light plus does quite well with macrophotography. Here’s a video demo of the stock Galaxy S2 on Linpack: This is probably the fastest Linpack speeds for a stock Android smartphone(as of this writing). Here’s a video demo of the stock Galaxy S2 on Quadrant:įor Linpack, which tests the phone’s CPU raw-processing powers, the Galaxy S2 scored 88 at its best and around 85 on average. On Quadrant benchmarking, you can expect to get easily near 3200 to 3500 on stock ROM and over 4500+ easy with custom ROMs. This Samsung Exynos processor is probably the fastest smartphone CPU on the market right now, overclockable up to about 1.6Ghz dual-core with custom kernel/ROM. The AT&T Galaxy S2 comes with Samsung Exynos 1.2Ghz dual-core processor, same as the ones found on international Galaxy S2 and Epic 4G Touch. Galaxy S2 1.2Ghz Dual-Core Samsung Exynos Processor Here’s a video demo showing HSPA+ in action: One advantage of HSPA+ is that it’s not real 4G (maybe 3G+) but does actual consume a lot less power over its real 4G competition 4G LTE and WiMax (which are energy-hoggers).Īlso note that the HSPA+ 21.1Mbps on the Galaxy S2 is tad bit better technology and faster than HSPA+ 14.1Mbps found on the new iPhone 4S, marking AT&T Galaxy S2 the fastest 4G phone right now for AT&T. Although the actual download speeds aren’t terribly fast (Verizon 4G LTE got 20Mbps while Sprint WiMax go 10Mbps on same test area), it does a respecting 3-4Mbps download in real life testing. In real life, the HSPA+ does well at getting reliable signal. The AT&T Galaxy S2 features HSPA+ 21.1Mbps 4G network connectivity. (No, these photos weren’t photoshopped in any way!) If you take other smartphones on the market and put them side by side, you will see a clear difference in how the Galaxy S2 is brighter, clearer, and more refreshing.Įven with only 800×480 resolution screen, the Galaxy S2 screen beats out the Droid Bionic and HTC Evo 3D (both ahve 960×540 resolution) by far, you only have to take one glance and you will fall in love with the S2, not the others.Įven viewing from side angles, the display stay clear and bright, something you can only expect from Samsung’s AMOLED technology.ĪT&T HSPA+ 21.1Mbps 4G Network Connectivity You can tell that Samsung has put some of their HDTV screens onto this smartphone and the result? It’s absolutely stunning as you can see in the photos. Probably the best feature about all Galaxy S2 series is its AMOLED Samsung screen that is brighter than any other smartphone display on the market and also the colors are more vibrant. Best Display on Market – AMOLED 4.3″ Screen AT&T’s Galaxy S2 Android smartphone is nearly identical to the “first” international version, which I tried months ago when it first came out except the edges are bit more polished and there are four capacitative menu buttons at the bottom instead of just three.
