As one of the most popular smartphones to date for the manufacturer, the Samsung Galaxy S2 offers a wealth of high tech features. It is one of the most powerful smartphones available today, and boasts the likes of an 8 megapixel camera with full HD video capture, 1.2 GHz dual-core processor and a large, high resolution touchscreen.
One area where the Samsung Galaxy S2 really stands out though is in its capabilities as a multimedia device. This will be the focus of this article, and I will take a closer look at how the device performs in this respect.
Camera
The Samsung Galaxy S2 is among the most powerful camera phones currently available. It has an 8 megapixel unit on hand to take high quality snapshots at a resolution of 3264x 2448. Therefore, the pictures have excellent levels of quality and clarity. Another advantage of the camera is that is can shoot full high definition video in 1080p quality. Once you have taken your photos and videos you can even stream them to a compatible TV, thanks to DLNA connectivity. This is ideal for sharing your handiwork with a group of people as they don’t have to crowd around the phone to see it. The camera has a number of impressive built in features such as image stabilisation, smile detection, touch focus, auto focus and LED flash, so taking quality still images and videos is a relatively hassle free task.
Screen
The Samsung Galaxy S2 screen backs up its multimedia credentials, offering the perfect medium for displaying photos, videos, playing games or browsing the web. This is thanks to its high resolution of 480x 800, which allows the onscreen imagery to be displayed in all its glory with excellent levels of detail and clarity. The screen is also able to display up to 16 million individual colours, and this of course means that the colour rendering is superb. As an added bonus, the Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen technology of the screen means that it is bright and viewable even when outside in direct sunlight, which is likely to be a massive bonus to many.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 has great levels of multimedia compatibility. The music player widget is compatible with several different music file formats, including MP3, WAV, eACC+, AC3 and FLAC, whilst videos in MP4, DivX, WMV, H.264 and H.263 are all supported by the video player.
There is much more to like about the Samsung Galaxy S2; from its super fast internet browsing, Android 2.3 OS and TouchWiz user interface to its powerful processor. It is a very versatile handset, but really excels at multimedia functionality, thanks in part to the specifications outlined in this article. If you are looking for a new smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S2 is definitely one to consider. It is available now, on several UK networks, many of which offer the handset for free when you sign up to one of its pay monthly deals.
