Samsung Galaxy S2 ideal for videography

Smartphone technology has gone a notch higher with Samsung Galaxy S II from Korea that offers more features than its rivals.

It is that perfect gadget sought after by techies and executives on the go. With this gadget you can seamlessly access your emails on the go and browse the Internet with ease.

Running on Android 2.3.3 OS, this touchscreen phone changes the way people communicate. It also packs TouchWiz 4.0, a real upgrade from earlier versions.

Coming with a 1.2GHz Samsung Orion CPU, super-slim chassis with dimensions of 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5mm and feather-light interiors weighing just 116g the smartphone embodies latest technology in mobile video and photography.

The dual 1.2GHz processor means the Galaxy S2 can keep up with whatever you throw at it without a hint of slowdown thus a good choice for techies who spend hours browsing or multitasking on the phone.

One thing you’ll notice when you first pick up the Galaxy S2 is its AMOLED screen. At 4.3 inches the screen is crisp-clear making watching videos and photos an exciting experience.

Expected to be released in the Kenyan market around mid August, the Samsung Galaxy S2 is set to rival the likes of the iPhone 4.

The phone comes with many exciting applications that makes video and photo editing easy. Some of the nuggets on its menu make accessing the Internet exciting.

Whether pulling up an application or simply scrolling through reams of photos, the Galaxy S2 touch capabilities by far rival those of the iPhone5 and Nokia E7.

Critics however think the large screen may make reaching all areas of the display slightly tricky in one hand, especially for those with small palms, but that’s a rarity, and a second hand can easily be called in.

The phone comes with a duo-core processor and has instant video and photo sharing capability atop its Bluetooth functionality.
Video shooting, editing and photo editing have been made easier while the quality resolution already makes it a favourite among techies and multimedia journalists.

The front of the phone is pretty sparse, with a solitary home key the only piece of furniture on offer. This rectangular button flanks two touch buttons – Menu and Back.

Volume keys are located on the left-hand side, and the power/lock key is on the opposite flank; both easy enough to hit without error, and crucially the travel on the power key is softer so that it’s much easier to hit when you’re juggling it in the palm.

The 3.5mm headphone jack is on the top of the phone, bucking the lower placement on other 4.3-inch screen phones, while the microUSB slot (which also doubles as an HDMI out port) lives on the bottom.

The other key feature to note is the 8.1MP camera with single LED flash on the rear making the Galaxy S2 a perfect companion in photo sessions and video shooting sprees.
