I bought the Galaxy S2 around 2 years back , when It was newly released and it set me back for around Rs. 33999.
At that time, it was the epitome of smart phone technology, something that everyone wanted to buy, buy rarely could anyone afford them! The 4.3 screen looked huge and the phone, normal size by todays standard, looked gigantic at that time as many people used nokia flip phones back then.
A lot has changed since then, with the advent of quad cores and even octa-cores, the Samsung Galaxy S2 may seem a bit archaic , but honestly till today, the camera and screen quality is up there with the biggies. It looks and feels better than the new Samsung phones, and 2 cores may sound ordinary, but this phone is no slouch and I am yet to see a application that may say that the phone has a limited processing power !
I will use this phone until there is a worthy alternative, right now there are none, the S4 is too big for my liking and doesnt do anything more than what S2 does !
