LED TV in your pocket?

The Samsung GALAXY S II is equipped with Samsung’s new crystal-clear Super AMOLED Plus screen. This is the most advanced mobile visual display ever created. With this display, Samsung sets a new standard of quality viewing on mobile handsets. The Super AMOLED Plus introduces the best in quality in color gamut, contrast ratio and edge sharpness. Using RealStripe screen technology and a greatly increased sub-pixel count, Super AMOLED Plus complements the human eye in its ability to recognize images. With a wider viewing angle and increased visibility outdoors, the Samsung GALAXY S II provides a more vibrant viewing experience than any other mobile device. The Super AMOLED Plus display does not compromise battery performance. A significant reduction in power consumption from Super AMOLED display makes it more energy-efficient than other comparably-sized devices.

Doing more with your Voice

The Galaxy S II is truly smarter than the ordinary smartphone. With its pre-loaded voice solution feature, Galaxy S II users can command their phone to call, text and even send an email hands-free. Simply activate the voice solution with these simple words “Hey Galaxy” and the phone automatically responds by asking the user what he would like to do. This unique solution translates uttered words into both commands and actual text so SMS and emails cam be dictated and sent without the use of one’s fingers.

If you have noticed, although the Samsung Galaxy S II has yet to officially arrive in the Philippines, our article title says "Samsung Galaxy S II is Here in the Philippines." This is because word got around that the Samsung Galaxy S II is already being sold in the grey market of Greenhills at the hefty price of P38K. Check Abe Olandres' blog on this.

I think the main highlights of Samsung Galaxy S II would be its muscle (4G & 1.2GHz Dual Core processor), screen (Super AMOLED Plus), and looks (8.49mm thin with an 8MP camera).
