Mobile World Congress 2011 has been closed one week ago and we had the chance to see some interesting smartphones making their entrance at the show. One of these devices is the follow-up of the popular and original Galaxy S, the high-eng and powerful Samsung Galaxy S II. A really impressive phone that combines an unmatched viewing experience with incredible performance.
If you loved the original Galaxy S, but got unsatified by its design made of black plastic case on the back and rounded chrome trim, looking more like an iPhone 3GS, Galaxy S II goes to another level. Samsung decided to change that and made a thinner, slimmer and modern new smartphone with a more durable metallic shell on the back.
Claiming to be the thinnest Android handset at only 8.49mm, the overall dimensions of the phone are: 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm and it weights just 116 grams, despite its large display, which makes it quite convenient to carry it while on the go. Not only it has an impressive 4.27-inch display, but it features Samsung's new Super AMOLED Plus technology, offering offers 50% more sub-pixels, loaded with Gorilla Glass display and TouchWiz v4.0.

In terms of performance, the major highlight of the Galaxy S II is that fast and powerful dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 proccessor, running quickly, 1GB of RAM plus 16GB of internal memory expandable up to 32GG by using the microSD card.
As for the OS, the handset boasts the newest version of Android, 2.3 Gingerbread, allowing access to the App Market with a bunch of games and apps that you can download onto your phone. There is a rear 8 megapixel camera with auto focus and LED flash, loaded with other essential features such as touch focus, smile,face detection or image stabilization plus a secondary front-facing cam with 2MP for video calling.
It will also have an integrated NFC (Near Field Communication) chip and will be the first handset to ship with MHL port for dual purpose USB and HDMI out. Other network and connectivity features include support for Wi-Fi® 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP or USB v2.0 for browsing or transfering any file to/from other compatible phones.
To conclude, the Galaxy S II looks more stylish, elegant and powerful than its predecessor. Considering all its advanced specs that make it a top class smartphone, for sure it will be more sucessful than the original Galaxy S, but probably not too affordable. A huge £612 (around $ 1.000) pricing for the 16 model has been revealed on the Play.com website. Hoping this is not true.
