The Samsung Galaxy S II White on 3

Many second-generation mobiles add only a small improvement onto a phone that they already know is good and sells well - not so with the 3 Samsung Galaxy S II. The improvement in features over the original Galaxy S is simply astounding, and once again proves that Samsung are manufacturers at the top of their game. It's not surprising that the Galaxy S II has beat out the competition to become Phone of the Year 2011!

Leading the charge is the jaw-poppingly impressive touchscreen. Even though the superAMOLED screen on the original Galaxy S could wipe the floor with any of its rivals (even newer phones!), the superAMOLED+ on the Galaxy S II is even better. Samsung have whacked up the contrast levels to give an incredibly rich visual experience, and reduced the battery drain by 80%!

Samsung have spruced up the design of the Galaxy S II, making it an almost-impossibly skinny 8.5 mm thick, but still grippable thanks to a small bumper on the bottom that helps nestle it into your hand. With angular edges and a cool mottled design on the rear, the S II feels more executive and more professional.

The S II has a whole lot of power under the hood, with a dual core processor to run Android 2.3. Expect lightning-quick responsiveness, super-fast application loading and increased battery life! And of course, because it is Android, you'll get plenty to personalise: sync to your social networks, choose the best apps to suit you, and access them from wherever you choose on your 7 homescreens!

You'll garner the envy of all your friends with the brilliance of the Three Samsung Galaxy S II. This is the phone for you if you're after a top of the range smartphone for browsing web pages, watching videos or reading your emails and documents!
