Samsung Galaxy S2, 10 Years Later: Retro Review!

1. Display not like the iPhone 4? Are you fucking kidding me iPhone 4 had a LCD.

2. Samsung really botched the software on this one. The original release with Android 2.3 was the best, everything after was slow and poorly integrated.

3. first i bought a htc sensation then replaced with this because these phones' batteries didnt last until end of the day so I wanted to mod it to make double battery but sensation has antenna inside back cover so i switched to s2. they were about the same specs. apps were like 5-15MB back then. weixin/wechat was new knockoff of line messenger. Google was like "don't be evil". Foursquare was better. Facebook was single app. direct access to sdcard as usb storage was actually possible. samba file server was also working fine.

4. Samsung lover nostalgic

5. Had IT. And IT felt way More groundbreaking than Getting a Phone nowadays…

6. I remember a friend of my parents having one at the time, it was love at the first sight. After looking around I opened the camera and was like 🤯 "THAT LOOKS LIKE LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOW" 😂

7. Still my fav. phone <3

8. Me: "I got a flagship phone….

   ….from 2013" 😥

9. i've had the Galaxy s2 Plus , a mess of a phone :))) the whole touchwiz ui would slow down and get stuck after 2 weeks of usage , so i always had to reset to factory settings my phone every other week :)))

10. This phone use to be huge and cost 35k inr
    35k was the price of a flagship those days
    These days it's 75k wow

11. I have old blackberry phones from 2012, they work smoother than most 4 year old android phones….bb10 os was ahead of it's time, the swipe gestures feels like 2020 phone…sad it died and has no native apps…

12. I still have one 🤣😂🤣 i dont really use it anymore

13. I still have this lying around somewhere it was such a great phone with great feel in hand

14. Just root it
    Throw on the newest lenage os relased to s2
    I bet you can it will be as fast and usable as a phone from 3 years ago.

15. I had S2, it was excelent

16. It's cousin, the first galaxy note was the best phone I've had when compared to it's contemporaries.

17. I used it as company phone for a few years hardware is not too bad LTE doesn't connect most of time but the worst is limited language support

18. This was my first „real“ smartphone and man… Android was such a wild west back then. Back when you had to root your phone and load custom drivers just to run an app that wasn’t compatible with your chipset.

19. This phone looked so big back in the days.

20. I remember I had an S2 plus

21. review Lumia phones

22. I changed my iPhone 4 for the Galaxy S2, but when using continuously on Wifi, the S2 battery was very bad (its lasts about 3h30m vs 9h from iPhone 4), then I waited until iPhone 4s and changed the S2, at the time I don't feel need of a bigger screen, because when was at home, I play and browse on Web, using the iPad.

23. Wow i used s 3 neo to this day 😀

24. ginger bread said on cue at 3:30

25. I bought one today lol…it will be my music player to run with.

26. Can you do the note series also. Retro version

27. I have it way bigger in my memories😂😂😂

28. Galaxy s2 was solid for a good 3 years and the s5 was solid for 3 more years and the s8 was solid until just recently so the s21 may be solid for 5 years.

29. For your information s2 doesn't have the 5g or 4g wifi and don't have the one Ui 3 soooooooooo whyyyy 😂

30. s2 and milion costum roms for it

31. I loved it that was my fav phone because I had it for year and idk where it is 🙁

32. My father has Galaxy S2, and it runs so smooth, it is very very true!!! Amazing!!!

33. 10 years later, s21 review old potato samsung phone.

34. Samsung galaxy Ultra 21 bets VIP 👍

35. the laggiest phone ever made with the best specs, plastic crappy build, the iphone was tons more premium

36. This was my first real Android phone (HD2 was my first). Funny to think I went out of my way to buy an imported model because Exynos was the one to beat back then.

    The screen was so impressive at the time, as was the weight and how thin it was. Great hardware but the software from Samsung was pretty bad back then.

    Sold it for Galaxy Nexus because I had to have ICS on launch day since it looked so modern compared to older versions. I liked the Nexus more but the hardware on S2 was very impressive.

37. Well this bring back memories, anyone remember old galaxy young?

38. Problem with most of them is the storage, they used so crappy storage, that the storage cells degraded so hard that my S2+ is like in the kilobyte range of storage speed, completely unusable

39. I still have a fully working s2

40. This was the phone that put Samsung and Android on the map!

41. I'm still using the S3

42. Remember running Darkys rom on my sgs 😁

43. I remember when my best mate thought that my S2 was huge because he had an iPhone 4. And today he has a 12 Pro Max and I have the Pro non max lmao, times changes

44. Ahh yes my first Samsung Phone i'm now on a S21 Ultra damn it's been a long time..

45. do a video on xperia S , the first sony smarthphone
    it was a great device
