The cunning combination of Android, mammoth memory and Samsung’s dazzling dual core processor mean the Samsung Galaxy S 2 is blazingly fast – it’s not called the Dual Core Kid for nothing.
Want to know how you can put that speed to good use? Read on and discover how this multi-tasking marvel can become your hero in your hour of need and seamlessly streamline your mobile life.
No ordinary phone
When you’ve got a busy schedule to keep to, the last thing you want to be doing is opening and closing various mobile phone applications in order to get everything done. It’s much easier to be able to switch between each program on the fly, dropping back into apps at the exact same point you left them. With Android that’s all part of the experience, but with the Samsung Galaxy S 2, this multi-tasking brilliance to taken to a whole new level of awesomeness.
Just as the superhero Iron Man is constructed of various components that come together to form a formidable battle suit, the Samsung Galaxy S 2 is made up of several powerful components that fuse into one astonishingly powerful phone.
The power of three
First up, there’s Gingerbread. This is the latest and greatest edition of Google’s Android operation system for mobiles (Version 2.3 if you’re counting), and is the culmination of three years of hard work on behalf of the company’s crack team of coding geniuses. Not only does it boast internet and even video calling support, and more control over your phone’s performance than ever, but it also runs faster than a superhero on steroids.
Secondly, you’ll find that the Samsung Galaxy S 2 is loaded with memory – 1GB of the stuff, in fact. This amount of memory is almost twice what is included in rival handsets, and it allows the phone to perform Herculean feats of performance. More RAM means applications run faster and more reliably, and you can have more things running simultaneously – we’re not just talking quietly paused in the background, but operating at full pelt, streaming music, chomping video and then some.
Thirdly, there’s the dual-core processor which is the Samsung Galaxy S 2’s beating heart. More powerful than Superman’s sucker punch and faster than Batman when he hears there’s a gadget convention in town, the 1GHz dual-core CPU effortlessly outclasses its competitors to make the Galaxy S 2 one of the most technically impressive Android phones on the market.
Blink and you’ll miss it
This raw, uncontrollable speed makes short work of app management. If you’re surfing the web and suddenly get an email or text, don’t fret – simply read the new message and then hold down the ‘home’ button. A quick-launch panel showing the last few apps you used will appear, allowing you to drop back onto the exact same web page you were previously looking at. Nothing is closed down so there’s no need to sit there with a face like the Incredible Hulk waiting for your web browser to load up again.
Because your apps continue to run in the background, all of your mobile activities are given an injection of pace. Toggling between each function is blissfully simple, and Gingerbread’s advanced app management silently shut down any programs which are no longer required.
The muscular strength of the Samsung Galaxy S 2 also means that demanding applications – such as 1080p full HD video playback and recording – don’t even cause the phone to break into a sweat. While lesser mobiles stutter and stumble at the prospect of capturing such intense detail, Samsung’s superhero blower barely betrays any evidence of effort. It’s a true legend of the telephonic age, and the ultimate multi-tasking master.
