 Samsung Galaxy S2 White Too Good to be True!

 

The Samsung Galaxy S2 White is the new diversion that Samsung has brought for the over worked and much harried network carriers and the dealers alike much to the delight of the buyer here.

 

UK and the rest of the European continent were delighted to learn that they will the added option of the Samsung Galaxy S2 White edition to choose from when it comes to buying the current smartphone heart throb of millions across the globe. Five million to be precise and we are still counting and we are sure continue to do so for quite some time now.

 

This one is just for the records. The leading mobile phone retailer Clove has started selling the Samsung Galaxy S2 white here in the UK mobile phone market place from August 15 2011 onwards. The initial unlocked SIM free price stated by Clove is £ 492 including the irritant called Value Added Tax. Otherwise, the Three Mobile network provider has jumped in the bandwagon and is offering it under its standard contract for £ 30 a month.

 

The rest of the network service providers all are expected to join in the fray and start commercially selling this lighter version of the phenomenally successful Galaxy S2 from September 1, 2011 onwards. Three Mobile has also floated in a pay as you go plan that requires you to shell out £ 499.99 only.

 

Bringing in the White edition is a sound business move by Samsung

 

When looked at purely from the business point of view, bringing in the White version of its mega selling smartphone handset does seem to be a wise move on the part of South Korean mobile phone giant.  The Samsung Galaxy S2 Black edition came roughly about 80 odd days ago and already seems to have more than done its bit. In this scenario, introducing a nice, sparkling white version of the same product can only work in favour if the smartphone.

 

As things stand, there does not seem to be any major changes in the newly release Galaxy S2 White. Functionality wise, therefore, we are seeing the same phone handset but in a different colour. Samsung has claimed it to be the smartest looking White smartphone ever. Well, while that much remains debatable what is indeed true is that the the metallic white sheen for the slimmest ever smartphone handset till date does provide a visually arresting spectacle. It is true. As the actually slimmest phone, the NEC Medias N-04C has been released only in Japan and hence it is safe to conclude that the Galaxy S2 is the slimmest ever.

 

Stupendous Specs and Features!

 

The Samsung Galaxy S2 stands tall with such an impressive line of features backed by a seemingly never ending techical specifications list that it is very difficult to imagine a situation where this smartphone can go wrong. But things do go wrong even if you have the best of software and hardware arsenal in your phone device.

 

But thankfully, Samsung seems to have not only build up this elaborate firmware but also backed it off with actual implementation and efficiency where it really matters. And this more than anything else is, undoubtedly the reason for its tremendous showing.

 

Here, it is now time for us to take a more deeper peek into what all has gone into the Samsung Galaxy S2 White. This listing is offered here in the form of a table that is given below –

Does come across as a blemishless phone!

 

You can very well see that the Samsung Galaxy S2 White is arguably the finest and most well-equipped smartphone to find its way into the countless mobile phone store shelves here. It can be safely stated here that it is the smartest of the smartphones available currently including the Apple iPhone 4.0. The Galaxy S2 scores over the Apple iPhone 4.0 on several counts as can be seen from the above listing. Be it the memory space, the high definition camcorder wielding camera or the social networking attributes that it extends and so on even the display is as good as if not better than the Retina Vision aided visual magic that the iPhone offers.

 

The Samsung Galaxy S2 White nicely and at the same time adequately touches all bases and fulfills each and every whim and fancy of even the most demanding of customers. It simply has left nothing to chance. It has given every bit of facility in rich and ample measure. And they all work exceedingly well as well. It has been nearly three months that the Galaxy S2 has landed here. So far there has not even been as much as a whimper from any quarters. Leave aside major complainants and grievances coming from the users.

 

More than technical reviews, we believe it is the user feedback that comes after a couple of months of launch of a smartphone that matter a lot for any smartphone worth its money. Here too, the Samsung Galaxy S2 scores heavily. As will, we are sure, the Samsung Galaxy S2 White as feature wise there is no difference between the two versions.

 

Pricing – It is too early to comment!

 

It is not time yet for us to comment seriously on the pricing as the rest of the network service carriers apart from Three Mobile are yet to announce their contracts, SIM free and the pay as you go deals. But from what one could gather from the SIM free price announced it is very much on par with the prices that the Black version carries.

 

Conclusion

 

The Samsung Galaxy S2 White is without an iota of doubt the dream come true of the smartphone user. It gives on a platter and at an affordable price everything and more that you can wish for from a smartphone.
