Samsung Galaxy S II Android Smartphone Launched in India – Price Rs. Rs. 30200

Samsung Galaxy S II is currently the world’s thinnest Android smartphone featuring a 1.2 GHz dual-core SoC Processor and runs Android version 2.3 (Gingerbread) Operating System.

The Dual Core Application Processor offers unsurpassed functionality like faster browsing, quicker Multi-tasking, smoother UI, snappier streaming, highly efficient gaming and encoding/decoding ability that supports video play and recording.

Masterfully crafted into a slim and light body, the smartphone supports trimmed chassis and feather-light innards. The most striking feature about this handset is its 4.3″ display screen powered by Super AMOLED plus technology to enhance readability.

The smartphone sports a 8.0 MP auto-focus Primary camera and a 2.0 MP front-facing secondary camera with a built-in LED flash that captures crisp and detailed pictures in low light.

Another attractive feature is the Samsung Live Panel that lets you access your contents directly through its new UX, a magazine style layout that selects contents that you use the most, like your Gallery, Music, Video, SNS, E-Mail, Notes and Games. This live content ecosystem can be customized to your taste.

The one function that the users will love is the All Share function that allows to link wirelessly with a TV, laptop or even audio system to play Multimedia Files directly from the phone. It synchronizes the phone with a compatible DLNA based product.

Samsung has updated its TouchWIZ User Interface overlay too on the Galaxy S II and the changes are mostly positive. The default Samsung weather, clock widgets and power widgets are attractive and functional and one can easily customise the Main Menu by creating folders. This phone surely has an upper edge over its contemporaries.

Samsung Galaxy S II is available at Rs. 30200 in India. This phone is available for Pre-Order at Rs. 1000/-.
