Read our full article here. Check out this video for an idea of what this phone is like.

Unfortunately, the Samsung Galaxy S II is looking to be one of the most expensive smartphones on the market, but who cares? Samsung Galaxy S II. The camera was upgraded to an 8MP back-side illuminated sensor.

There was also this weird version - the Samsung i Captive Glide. It was technically part of the Galaxy S II family, but it was almost completely different. Qualcomm's modem was still faster than the one in the Exynos, offering 42Mbps downlink, double what the vanilla Galaxy S II could pull down.
