With only two smartphones running on a dual-core processor, LG Optimus 2x and
Samsung Galaxy S2, our future-proof choice is the Samsung device.
Check out Top 10 smartphones of the month A bigger 4.3-inch, super AMOLED display, ultra-rich colours, sleek body combine with adual-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, 1GB RAM and the latest version of the Android OS make the S2 a smartphone capable of competing even with a tablet or a mobile computing device.
The 8 MP camera can replace with ease any digital camera, while the sound output would put a media player to shame.
Top new smartphone entry: Nokia X7 What do they say about sequels not being as good as the original? Well, Samsung's Galaxy S phone made it to the Gadgets & Gizmos Choice last year, and now its successor, the Samsung Galaxy S2, follows suit. So there!
Specs: 4.3-inch Super AMOLED capacitive display; 8 MP camera; 1GB RAM, 16GB memory, expandable to 32 GB; 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS; Android 2.3; 1.2 GHz dual core processor; 116 gm; 1650 mAh battery.
Price: Rs 30,000
The Looks: The designing deserves kudos since a huge 4.3 inch AMOLED display is accommodated in an ultra slim 8.4 mm form factor. With sleek minimalist looks (it has just three physical keys-home key, volume and power) and a plastic back designed to aid grip, the S2 is a head turner.
Performance: The S2 is fitted with a 1.2 GHz Arm Cortex A9 dual core processor and 1GB RAM, making it a speed monster. It combines with Android v2.3 to provide unbelievably fast operations without glitches like hanging or slowing.
Besides the polished Touch Wiz 4.0 UI, other interesting add-ons include SWYPE for quick typing, split view in messages as in the Outlook mailbox, multitouch controls, tilting to zoom in and out, Kies Air for wireless sharing, Vlingo-powered voice solution, and left swipe on a contact for direct calling and right swipe for message.
What Motorola Defy brings to the smartphone market The 8 MP camera too would give rival Sony Ericsson Arc a run for its money. In addition it has Full HD video capture at 30 fps and auto focus. It also supports USB-onthe-go and HDMI but these accessories are not included in the pack. Hiding below the back cover is the 1650 mAh battery that got us through a day and a half of usage that included push notifications for multiple apps.
Samsung Galaxy S2 sells 3 million units in 55 days Final say: The S2 is crazy for what is does. We instantly fell in love with this device because it has everything one can dream of in a smartphone. We reckon that for gadget lovers, it would be there right at the top of the wish list.
WHY WE FELL FOR ITIt's a sleek looker, a fast performer, and comes loaded with features. A must-have smartphone for geeks.
