The finest Android smartphone available today, the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S II delivers in almost every way. Thing is, it's so expensive, it almost prices itself out of the market.

Samsung Galaxy S II (Unlocked) : Angle

The Samsung Galaxy S II is a fast, powerful Android-powered smartphone with a truly beautiful Super AMOLED Plus screen.

Samsung Galaxy S II (Unlocked) : Horizontal

The Galaxy S II runs almost all of Android's 125,000 apps.

Samsung Galaxy S II (Unlocked) : Back

The Galaxy S II's back is cheap-feeling plastic, but it holds an excellent 8-megapixel camera with true HD video recording.

Samsung Galaxy S II (Unlocked) : Left

The Galaxy S II is one of the slimmest phones I've seen recently, at under .4 inches thick.

Samsung Galaxy S II (Unlocked) : Right

Samsung often puts its power buttons on the right hand sides of its phones, rather than on the top. I wonder why.

Samsung Galaxy S II (Unlocked) : Angle

The Galaxy S II runs Gingerbread, the latest version of the Google Android smartphone OS.
