This Samsung Galaxy S update brings up the issue of the top 5 drawbacks of the Samsung i9100 Galaxy S II that I would like you to keep in mind when looking for the right phone. Despite being celebrated as probably the best display of any modern phone out there, there are 5 critical elements of this Samsung Galaxy S upgrade when reviewing the Samsung i9100 Galaxy S II, and they are as follows:
1. During active use, it tends to get hot quite easily. This could be justified by the fact that it packs a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU along with an extremely powerful GPU. Another logical reason for this heating issue can be related to its ultra slim shape which therefore could be very understandable and tolerable in case you are a passionate fan of Samsung i9100 Galaxy S II.
2. As for the use of some applications installed on the phone, it turns out that it displays 16-bit color images instead of a 32-bit one, which is especially the case with the browser. This can usually be obvious and noticeable when light colors are used in conjunction with gradients, for example. One of the most effective ways to resolve this issue is to simply visit some well-established XDA Developer forums for Samsung Galaxy S II to gather more information about it. In any case, this is not a cause for concern as it is actually related to a software glitch that might be fixed by using its future versions.
3. If you are used to having phones covered with metal and similar material, you may be a little disappointed by the fact that the front cover of this phone is made of full glass on one side, while the back is covered with a textured plastic material on the other side. Anyway, despite the fact that it looks like a toy, fortunately there is no problem with the fragility of the material since its assembly is quite solid and of first quality.
4. For now it comes with Android 2.3.3. that can only imply that you’re not running any later version of Android that you might expect to use. In other words, you will be deprived of the voice and video chat features of Google Talk. As far as Google Voice is concerned, US citizens need not worry as it can be easily installed on the Samsung i9100 Galaxy S II phone. If you are one of those who prefer actions, you might be a bit unhappy with the fact that Android is not a stock, but Samsung’s TouchWiz.
5. Finally, the battery life of the Samsung i9100 Galaxy S II is unfortunately not long lasting. One of the obvious and understandable reasons for this could be the fact that it runs on and uses quite a few small but powerful high-tech pieces, like the aforementioned power-hungry and power-demanding software and hardware. So be sure to remember to recharge the battery at night before you go to sleep, as it actually lasts about a full day.
