No camera shutter button
A lot of preinstalled software
Build quality could be better
Offers shorter battery life than its siblingsWVGA resolution
No white version available for AT&T
Display might be too large for some hands
AT&T 4G LTE only available in a few markets so far
Benchmark performance is slower than the Galaxy S II
Would have liked a higher res display
Display resolution is too low
"4G" speeds are very slow
Body feels cheap and breakable
The earpiece speaker experienced a bit of distortion and made it hard to hear
Sometimes turning the volume down can fix it
But it never should have been an issue

Processor De Samsung Galaxy S II is merkbaar aanzienlijk sneller dan de eerste Galaxy S dankzij haar dualcore 1,2 GHz processor, Beeldscherm Het Super AMOLED Plus beeldscherm is niet alleen groot met een diameter van 4,3 inch, maar ook gigantisch helde
Uitrusting Voor een van de duurste smartphones van dit moment is het pakket van de Samsung Galaxy S II vrij basaal uitgerust. Een HDMI kabel en een geheugenkaart ontbreken, Afmetingen widgets veranderen Nieuw is de mogelijkheid om de afmetingen van dive
Samsung i9100 Galaxy S IIEr blijven natuurlijk altijd wat verbeterpuntjes. Hoewel de minpunten nauwelijks zorgen voor frustraties of grote klachten, is het jammer dat er geen HDMI kabel bij het toestel wordt meegeleverd. Voor zover van een groot minpunt g...
De Samsung Galaxy S II is inderdaad de supersmartphone waar iedereen hem voor houdt. Fantastisch scherm, puike batterij en een dijk van een camera. Daarnaast is de S II natuurlijk wel erg groot, maar ook weer zo dun en licht dat de broekzak nog steeds uit...
Mooi uiterlijk, Goede grip, Snelheid, Soepel, Camera
Fragiel batterijklepje, Batterijduur, Ontbreken hardware van de zoekknop (menu lang indrukken is alternatief, thnx Arvid)
De Samsung Galaxy SII is een prima toestel voor een breed publiek. Velen zullen dit toestel aanschaffen alleen gebaseerd op de looks, maar ook de mensen die wel naar de specificaties kijken is dit toestel een grote kanshebber. Kortom, een interessant toes...
Bekijk de video Samsung introduceerde op het Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (MWCB) de opvolger van de populaire Samsung Galaxy S, de Galaxy S II. Het toestel is sinds april te koop, maar de Consumentenbond had hem tijdens het MWCB al even in handen...
Samsung weet met de Galaxy S II zijn concurrenten uit het water te blazen. Er zijn maar weinig
Teveel plastic voor een premium apparaat, 1080p video's zijn niet zo goed als beloofd, Widget toevoegen is onduidelijk, OTAupdates wel ingebouwd, niet ondersteund, PC software is slecht
Samsung zet met haar nieuwe vlaggenschip een erg goed toestel neer die veel concurrenten het nakijken zal geven. De producent heeft gelukkig de laatste variant van het Android OS op het toestel gezet, ondanks dat kort na de launch Android 2.3.4 aangekondi...
Abstract: Eerder dan verwacht heeft Samsung het nieuwe vlaggenschip voor 2011 in de winkels. De Galaxy S II (i9100) werd in februari in Barcelona gepresenteerd als de dunste en snelste Android-smartphone ter wereld. We mochten er eentje testen....
Abstract: De Samsung Galaxy S II heeft veel weg van zijn voorganger. Het toestel ziet er slechts iets anders uit en is iets dunner. De snelheid valt wel meteen op. De ervaring met een Galaxy S II is dan ook wezenlijk anders dan die met een Galaxy S....

Samsung had met de Galaxy S een verkoopsucces in handen, en dus was er veel aan gelegen een gedegen opvolger neer te zetten. Niet alleen om geen flater te slaan, maar ook om marktaandeel weg te kapen bij Apple en natuurlijk andere Android-bouwers. De Kore...
De nieuwe Samsung Galaxy S II heeft alles in zich om net zo'n succes te worden als zijn voorganger. De telefoon is in Nederland leverbaar met 1,2 GHz Exynos 4210 processor en 16 Gigabyte geheugen. Deze variant - met typenummer GT-I9100 - blijkt qua pre...
Abstract: Eén van de bekendste telefoons met Android, zo niet de bekendste, is de Samsung Galaxy S. Het bedrijf uit Zuid-Korea wist de concurrentie veelal voor te zijn met deze telefoon. Hoewel deze telefoon in juni 2010 werd uitgebracht, schijnen we minder dan een...
