Nobody questions the success of the Galaxy S line anymore. This is the only line of smartphones that not only became famous and popular, but was able to largely surpass the famous iPhone, which was considered the standard for almost a decade. The success story of this series began with the first model released on the mass market, but it was the second version of the gadget that left a special mark in the memory of users. Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100, the characteristics of which were simply discouraging at the time of release. None of the competitors could even come close to it in terms of the power of the “filling”. The technologies that were involved in this device were not available to other manufacturers, so the Koreans, without wasting any time, used their trump card and decided to bring to the market all the best that they had, thereby seizing the championship banner from Sony and HTC. Since then, Samsung has become the trendsetter and the main engine of progress in the difficult conditions of the struggle for the smartphone market. In this article we will talk about one of the most prominent representatives of this industry - Samsung Galaxy S2. Is he really that good?

Case design and materials
Dimensions: 125x66x8.5 millimeters.
Weight: 116 grams.
The main design solutions were carried over to the Galaxy S2 from the first generation of smartphones. The same plastic as the main material, the same hump on the back panel, except that the phone has become a little wider compared to the previous model, which caused a lot of negativity on the Internet. An important difference was the thickness of the device. From a value of 11 millimeters, the thickness of the case has dropped to 8.5, which is impressive. The back cover has a corrugated surface, a kind of imitation of leather on plastic. Visually, this solution looks, to put it mildly, vulgar, but in practice it works perfectly. This surface does not allow the phone to slide, thanks to it there are almost no small scratches, and even less fingerprints. Only the hump in the lower part of the body is severely scratched and rubbed off. The phone fits well in the hand and easily fits into a trouser or shirt pocket. The front panel of the device is boring, as, in fact, it always was before the advent of the Edge model. As for the build quality, everything is at an average level. Creaks and slight play are noticeable, the body is far from monolithic and this greatly spoils the impression.
Controls and Ports
Almost the entire front panel of the gadget is occupied by the display. Above it are a front camera, a proximity sensor and a speaker. Below the display are the main control keys: a touch button for calling up a list of running applications, a physical Home button, and another touch button for going back one level. A headphone port (standard 3.5 mm jack) is hidden at the top end. At the bottom there is a port for connecting charging. On the right side there is a button to turn on and lock the gadget, and on the left there is a volume rocker. Slots for SIM cards and memory cards are hidden under the cover.
Communications
The smartphone is equipped with a standard set of communication tools:
- USB 2.0 can be used in various modes, including Mass Storage (memory access from a computer);
- Wi-Fi operating at 802.11 b/n/g frequencies. Supports Wi-Fi Direct fast data exchange technology (a tool that can replace the new generation of Bluetooth);
- NFC - technology for data exchange and interaction with contactless payment systems;
- Kies is a tool developed by Samsung that allows you to control data on your phone from a computer without connecting the phone itself with wires;
- Bluetooth 3.0 is also supported.
Display
At the time of the gadget's release, the display installed in it was one of the best on the market, although it could not please with high resolution. The display has a diagonal of 4.3 inches and a resolution of 840x400 pixels. Given this ratio, the PPI number is disappointing, but this is purely a technical resolution. Overall the screen is much better, the picture is quite bright and sharp, the colors are oversaturated and catchy. The colors are unrealistic, but pleasing to the human eye. The screen consumes much less energy (energy consumption depends entirely on what colors are shown on the display; black consumes the least amount of energy). In the new generation of screens, the ill-fated PenTile (pixel arrangement technology) has disappeared, and Real-Stripe has come in its place, smoothing the picture. All this became possible thanks to the use of SuperAMOLED+ technology, which became the crowning feature of the Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100. The glass above the display is tempered, manufactured by Gorilla Glass. There is an anti-reflective coating, but it is of little use. The image fades in the sun. This device also uses VibeZ technology (this is tactile feedback when you touch the display).
Processor and graphics
The heart of the smartphone is a single-chip ARM Cortex A9 processor based on the Exynos 4210 chip (formerly Orion). The processor is equipped with two cores, the clock frequency of each reaches 1200 MHz. The built-in Mali 400 video subsystem is responsible for the graphics performance. The hardware platform is quite powerful and looks extremely promising, but, unfortunately, Samsung likes to fill their phones with a bunch of pre-installed and unnecessary software, and they are also developing their own version of the bootloader, called TouchWiz. All this negates hardware computing power. The phone is slow. It slows down in menus, in applications, and when scrolling through long lists. There is an excessive load on the processor, significantly heating it. Despite the above problems, the smartphone can still play most games, although not at the highest settings. In the synthetic Quadrant test, the smartphone scored 3121 points, outperforming all its contemporary competitors.
Memory
The processor is complemented by 1 GB of RAM (800 MB available to the user). In theory, on paper, this is a record, but in practice, it is a failure. Even this amount of memory is not enough to cope with Samsung firmware. TouchWiz does not spare a single megabyte and multitasking suffers greatly as a result. You can correct the situation by reflashing the gadget and installing “clean” Android on it, without the terrible Korean add-ons.
The main memory in the device is either 8 or 16 GB, depending on the selected configuration. In both cases, this volume can be expanded by installing a memory card. Cards up to 32 GB are supported.
Autonomy
The battery for Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 has a capacity of 1650 mAh. An impressive figure for 2011. The manufacturer claims that the smartphone can last about 6.5 hours in talk mode and 350 in standby mode. Independent tests have shown that the gadget:
- lasts about 12 hours in reading mode (e-book);
- in audio playback mode about 19 hours;
- When watching a video at minimum brightness, about 5 hours.
The results are not bad, but not the best either. To save more battery, you can use the built-in Power Save Mode utility. This is a kind of advisor that will allow you to configure your phone in such a way that the operating time on a single charge will increase, but this is not a panacea.
Cameras
Well, Samsung cameras can do something, especially in mobile gadgets. The Koreans were leaders in the industry 5 years ago and remain so. The smartphone is equipped with a main camera with a resolution of 8 megapixels and a front camera of 2 megapixels. Photos taken with the main camera are sharp, bright, saturated, without unnecessary shimmer, artifacts and excessive noise. Even in poor lighting, the smartphone produces a very decent picture. Other smartphones are not capable of this. Among the camera's features, it is worth highlighting software features, for example, filters that correct skin defects, panorama mode, searching for a smile and activating the shutter when one enters the frame, as well as the selection of different scenes (something like pre-configured parameters for different landscapes and light levels) . The front camera will please both those who simply communicate using it on Skype, and those who like to take selfies. It has much greater resolution, detail and viewing angle than many smartphones even today.
Samsung devices are without a doubt considered the best among mobile phones. Even the old versions have their own twists and are still capable of surprising.
Functionality of previous years' models
The evolution of mobile devices does not stand still; literally every day something new appears in phones. However, Samsung phones of older models look quite tolerable compared to many of their contemporaries.
The S2 i9100 device is capable of competing in terms of functions, if not with modern flagships, then with phones located in the middle price category. For a device released back in 2011, this is a huge advantage.
Design
The i9100 has a discreet appearance. At first glance, it will be difficult to determine the functional flagship of 2011.
The body of the device is made entirely of plastic, which does not provide much presentability. But among the models produced at that time, the phone stood out pleasantly against the general background.
There are three buttons on the case for operating the phone. On the sides there are keys to turn the device on and off, and at the bottom of the front side there is a button to wake the phone from sleep mode.
On the front side, in addition to the wake-up button, there is a four-inch screen, an additional camera, a speaker for calls, as well as light and proximity sensors.
The back cover covering the battery is made of rough plastic for more comfortable use of the phone.
On the back panel there is a main camera with 8 megapixels and a flash, and below, near the company logo, is the main speaker of the device.
At the end there is a headphone input on top, and a USB connector on the bottom. But that's not all, there are microphones at the top and bottom for stereo recording.
It should be noted that the device is much thinner than many phones, and this increases the comfort of use.
Display
One of the biggest selling points on any Samsung phone is the display. Regardless of the increase in diagonal sizes, the company remains on top, improving and complementing the screens.
Compared to the previous model, the Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 has a slightly larger screen, now its diagonal is 4.3 inches.
The display in the Galaxy S2 device has acquired Super AMOLED technology with the Plus prefix, which significantly improves image quality. This technology provides deeper images and amazing brightness.
In addition to using new technology, manufacturers have also improved the behavior of the screen in bright light. And for greater protection, mineral glass is used to protect the display. Samsung i9100 Galaxy S2 is capable of adjusting the backlight automatically or manually.
The phone screen has a resolution of 480 pixels by 800 and is capable of displaying 16 million colors. Among his competitors in 2011, he was one of the best.
Camera
Another hallmark of Samsung is its amazing quality cameras. The camera of the Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 does not disappoint expectations either. Simple and intuitive settings allow you to accurately adjust the camera to your needs.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 is equipped with an eight-megapixel camera and has a resolution of 3264 by 2448. A fairly good camera, even for modern phones, allows you to take high-quality and deep pictures.
The LED flash installed on the device helps you use the camera in the dark at a distance of approximately several meters.
It has two megapixels, which is good when working with communication applications.
Video recording on the Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 is carried out in a resolution of 1920 by 1080 and at a shooting speed of 30 frames per second. However, if you use the camera for a long time, you will need a lot of recording space. The sound of camera recordings is improved due to additional microphones that record in stereo.
Filling
At one time, the filling of the Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 in the form of a 1.2 GHz processor, as well as one gigabyte of RAM, looked very attractive. And even now such hardware can compete with many budget devices.
The phone works without problems with video with a resolution of 1080 p. There will not be any particular difficulties in using many useful programs.
System
The Samsung Galaxy S2 gt i9100 device uses the Android 2.3 system. Unfortunately, it narrows the choice of programs and games to install.
The appearance of the system used has been redesigned to match the corporate cover and has some nice additions.
The main changes affected the appearance of the shell, some widgets were changed and redesigned, and stuttering was fixed.
There were certain shortcomings in the standard system on the Samsung Galaxy S2 gt i9100. The firmware had limitations in the amount of online video loaded into the buffer. Most likely, these shortcomings will disappear when you install a newer version of Android.
Memory
The Samsung Galaxy S2 gt i9100 device is equipped with 16 or 32 gigabytes of memory. In addition to the available memory, it is possible to increase its capacity using a flash card.
The phone is capable of working with cards up to 32 gigabytes. As noted in the reviews, when using a flash drive with a capacity of 32 GB, problems with the operation of the device do not arise.
Battery
The device is equipped with a rather weak battery with a capacity of 1650 mAH, which is clearly not enough for the Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100. The high-capacity battery begs to be replaced with the installed one.
The device is quite capable of functioning all day long if you do not work very actively. With constant use and the Internet turned on, the time will be reduced to approximately 4-6 hours.
The battery for the Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 will most likely have to be replaced with a more powerful analogue, because 1650 maH is not enough for such a device.
Sound
The phone's speaker produces very high-quality sound, and there are no complaints about the microphone's performance. An interesting advantage is that the rear speaker, despite its small size, produces quite tolerable and pleasant sound.
In addition, the presence of two microphones that allow you to create stereo recordings looks like a nice bonus.
Additional features
The smartphone is equipped with the usual functions - Bluetooth 3.0, microUSB 2.0, Wi-Fi, GPRS, EDGE. The device supports operation in GSM 800, 2100, 900, 180 modes.
Equipment
The device package includes already familiar things. These include headphones, a 1650 mAh battery, an AC adapter and a USB cable.
Navigation
The standard navigation program that works with Google maps copes with its responsibilities quite well. In addition to the route itself, the program displays traffic jams, which is undoubtedly a plus for motorists.
The main disadvantage of working with the program is its constant dependence on the network connection. Accordingly, it affects both the traffic consumed and the increased battery consumption.
Dimensions
The smartphone is noticeably thinner than its predecessor, due to this the weight of the device has also decreased. The smartphone, having a thickness of only 8.49 millimeters, weighs 116 grams.
General characteristics
Type
Deciding on the type of device (phone or smartphone?) is quite simple. If you need a simple and inexpensive device for calls and SMS, it is recommended to choose a telephone. A smartphone is more expensive, but it offers a wide variety of options: games, videos, the Internet, thousands of programs for all occasions. However, its battery life is significantly less than that of a regular phone.
