There's very little to dislike about the Samsung Galaxy S2. This smart phoneis astonishingly fast, with a gorgeous display, a good camera and all the power of the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system. And it's somehow all crammed into a case so slim and light that it seems to break the laws of physics.
There's no doubt this is a phone that will impress the geeks in the room. But, if you're not so keen on expressing your geeky side by spending hours tweaking the seven home screens, deleting some of the app bloatware, and customising the millions of options, this phone may be more of a chore than a treat.
It's not cheap, either. Expect to pay around £500 for the SIM-free version. You can also pick it up for free on a £30-per-month contract. Clove and Vodafone provided our review samples.
If your budget doesn't stretch as far as the Galaxy S2, take a peek at the pared-down but still impressive Galaxy Ace.
Note that we've replaced our original review with this one, as Samsung has updated the Galaxy S2's software since the phone's launch.
