Staggering review, Anandtech analyses every aspect of this phone, and the smartphone industry comprehensively and scientifically.

Summary: Great phone. Samsung have really impressed with this phone, in terms of how much effort they have invested in the hardware and software. One thing still stands out for me, the battery life. While good, it still doesn't hold a candle to the iPhone 4, as shown on the charts.

There's so to discuss in this article. Another interesting point was the section on web browser scrolling - Anandtech shows how it all works behind the scenes, and how Samsung have matched iOS' scrolling smoothness.



I have both iPhone 4 and S2, and no the scrolling smoothness is not even comparable. Either that or there is sonething wrong with my S2.


Smooth for Android is still jerky for iOS, ha.


You must have the American S2. The review was of the 'international' model, which is much better, supposedly.


For my Epic 4g I was able to buy 2 batteries and a charger for less than $8 on Amazon. The charger even has a USB port on the bottom so you can charge an external battery and your phone at the same time. I find it not too inconvenient to just keep a couple backup batteries around at all times.

The OP was talking strictly about battery life: in the review, iPhone 4 still tops the battery life benchmark.


You're right, I'm an idiot.
