Samsung Galaxy S II : My Review

I just bought the Samsung Galaxy S II, some days ago. 
I wanted to do a review but I know it was released in May, so it's odd to make a review 5 months later. Still, some people are still interested.
First of all, I'll let you in on some details :
4.27, 480 x 800 pixels, Super Amoled Plus touch screen
Android 2.3
8 MP camera, with Full HD video 
Dual-Core processor 
16 GB
Weight 116 gr
Length 12.9 cm
Width 6.5 cm
Height 0.5 cm


So yeah it's a pretty cool phone.
And because I've tried the iPhone 4, I can say Samsung Galaxy S II is better. Why?
It does the same things the iPhone does, but better! And it's cheaper.
It has some good apps like
Music Hub
Social Hub 
Readers Hub
Game Hub

It has a good sound system too, especially with the headphones, included in the package.
16 GB for you to download songs, apps, take pictures etc. 
Another good thing is, while the iPhone goes up to 32 GB, this one can go up to 48 GB with a 32 GB Memory stick. The iPhone doesn't have the ability to insert a memory stick.
The pictures and videos have a very good quality, even in a very dark room.
The voice commands app, Voice Talk is very good and user-frienly
Internet is fast, and you can easily update you accounts, emails, weather, news etc with just a few clicks. It is a bit tricky, so it takes some time for you to figure it out, but when you do, it's going to be a hell of an experience. The Super Amoled Plus screen is perfect for watching HD movies. It's better than watching a movie on the TV!
The best things you can do with this phone
Play games : the best  mobile-gaming quality I've ever seen
Take pictures/record videos : very good, sharp pictures, and Full HD video
Browse Social Networks : you can browse Twitter, Facebook etc. very fast and update your profile
Listen to music via the headphones : the sound quality is one of the best ones' and with the 16 GB of space, you can add your favorite music.
Read books/newspapers/magazines or articles : With the Readers Hub, you will see a revolution in mobile reading. It's all I can say. Even if you don't read from the Readers Hub, you'll be amazed.

Apps I recommend :
UberSocial (a Twitter app)
Angry Birds. 
N.O.V.A. 2 HD 
Spider Man HD 
Fruit Ninja
Androidify
DatPiff Mobile
IMDB
doubleTwist
Google Translate
PowerVocabulary
TweetDeck
