Samsung Galaxy S ii

The Samsung Galaxy S II (GT-I9100) is a smartphone running the Android operating system that was announced by Samsung on 13 February 2011 at the Mobile World Congress. It is the successor to the Samsung Galaxy S, with a different appearance and significantly improved hardware.[4] The phone is also the predecessor of the Samsung Galaxy S III.[5] The Galaxy S II was one of the slimmest smartphones of the time, mostly 8.49 mm thick, except for two small bulges which take the maximum thickness of the phone to 9.91 mm.[6] The Galaxy S II has a 1.2 GHz dual-core "Exynos" system on a chip (SoC) processor,[7] 1 GB of RAM, a 10.8 cm (4.3 in) WVGA Super AMOLED Plus screen display and an 8-megapixel camera with flash and 1080p full high definition video recording. It is one of the first devices to offer a Mobile High-definition Link (MHL),[8] which allows up to 1080p uncompressed video output to an MHL enabled TV or to an MHL to HDMI adapter, while charging the device at the same time. USB On-The-Go (USB OTG) is supported.
