The Galaxy S was a runaway success for Samsung, infact they couldn’t make enough of them. It went off the shelves for a little while and only returned with a Super LCD display, Samsung clearly wanted to concentrate somewhere else and the only thing that would make a company divert its attention from its most successful smartphone ever, would be its successor.
That’s exactly what the Samsung Galaxy S2 is, Sammy’s new superphone that aims to rule them all, if the original Galaxy S sold 10 million units, they want to sell even more of these. So does the Galaxy S2 live up all the expectations? We find out in our review.
Lets start with a quick unboxing and overview to give you an idea of the box contents of the S2, it comes with a pretty nice leather case that doesn’t add to the bulk too much, check it out in the video below. The device also comes with a microUSB cable and stereo in-ear headphones which will suffice for casual playback.

The Galaxy S II is Samsung’s latest and greatest superphone and judging by the rate at which these things are selling, very soon millions around you will have a one. The device packs a dual core 1.2 Ghz processor, a 4.3″ Super AMOLED Plus display, runs Android 2.3.3 out of the box with Sammy’s TouchWiz 4 on top.
TouchWiz is Samsung’s custom UI layer that differentiates the SGS 2 from the myriad of other Android slabs and Samsung has managed to add enough value to it to make it a very welcome addition. Some of its benefits become obvious, but some tweaks and shortcuts that can make your experience even better are tucked away. This post aims to showcase a bunch of tips and tricks that every SGS 2 user should know. Some of these might even work on older TouchWiz devices.
Smart phones are designed from the net that focuses on the performance to run applications, get information, and the ability to perform various activities in the same time aka multitasking. Because a phone without buttons, then all navigation functions and settings done with the touch screen. To lock the phone for example, users simply touch the screen twice.
We're living in a post-pc world, folks. High time you got with the program and junked that heavy and outmoded relic called the computer. But how does one take tethered snaps from a Canon, sans EOS Utility? Meet DSLR Controller, an Android app from Chainfire that turns your little green robot into an external live view monitor, and gives you complete control over your shooter's finer sensibilities. It lets you tweak exposure, aperture, shutter, white balance and focus with sensuous swipes of your fingertip. To make the whole shindig work, you'll need an Android device packing a USB host port and an "on-the-go" USB cable -- which lets your handset wear the pants in the phone / DSLR relationship. We should also warn you that the $8.51 application is currently still in beta and thus streams video in live view mode at a less than optimal 15fps. Those and other foibles may be remedied by the final release, but if you're looking to practice your tethering voodoo immediately, hit the source below, and watch a vid of your photographic future after the break.

More than a week ago, we found out the Xperia Halon was being renamed the Xperia Neo. Since then, there has been a video previewing the smartphone. There are also a couple of snapshots plus some HD videos shot from the Xperia Neo.
.
The preview of the Xperia Neo shows how well the smartphone handles navigation. The transition between different menus is fluid and the animations look really cool. What we cannot judge from this video is whether Neo is multitasking in the background or not. Also, the device is not running any demanding applications or some games. Check out the video below.
Apart from the video, there are also some image grabs taken from the Xperia Neo. But apparently, the images have been resized to 2 Megapixels only.
Most likely, Sony Ericsson’s Vivaz handsets would not have any next-generation experience. Not only the name is going to fade, but new rumors from inside Sony Ericsson are pointing to the device which was leaked few days back with a new name. It’s going to be launched by naming it the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo. Although it wears some design lines similar to the old Vivaz, the Android technology is expected to be way ahead compared to its predecessor. The device is expected to be disclosed at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. This means that it would be showcased alongside SE’s Xperia Arc and yet-to-be-announced Xperia Play, among Sony Ericsson’s fleet of smartphones.
Finally, there are a couple of videos shot in HD. The first looks pretty good but the second is not that impressive in comparison. Anyway, you can still have a look at the videos posted below.
Hallon’ – Sony Ericsson’s upcoming smartphone has been thoroughly screened at Mobile-Review. The smartphone is referred to as Vivaz 2 (by reviewer Eldar Murtazin), but Hallon is the rumored name given to the smartphone. The smartphone looks like an improvised version of Vivaz with certain tweaks by throwing Symain out of the window and going in favor of Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Having all this, it still manages to get a positive review and has updated features such as display to 480 x 854 resolution, and the 1 GHz MSM7630 CPU paired with Adreno 205 graphics. Hallon also features an 8-megapixel camera with EXMOR R sensor at the back and capable of recording video of up to 720p resolution which is same as that of Xperia Arc.
considering rumors we've heard of a VGA display, we'd assumed that Nokia's E6 would probably have a large touchscreen -- but these shots we've just received look... well, a little different. Instead, it seems that Espoo's planning to gently massage the winning portrait QWERTY formula already well established by the E71 and E72, bumping out a proper big brother to the E5. Around back, you see an 8 megapixel camera (possibly the same EDoF unit that's in the E7) along with a dual LED flash; on front, that could very well be a VGA display, we suppose, considering the uptick in pixel density that everyone's been pushing the past year. If we had to guess, this puppy is a lock for MWC -- but in light of the crazy rumors floating around Nokia the past few days, all bets are off.

Pillete, the new concept of Bluetooth headset is so tiny, it’s almost invisible to the untrained eye when you are wearing it. So you don’t have to worry anymore about looking like Robocop when walking down the street with it, but you have to consider the possibility of people starting to think you’ve lost your marbles and you’re talking to yourself.
The downside is the fact that people have different sized ears and the device might be too small and slip out or to big and not fit. People who often use earphones will tell you I’m right. But once they’ll figure out a way to make the Pillete adjustable, this design will be the future of all headsets.

There are few names that command as much respect in cellphones as
Nokia's Communicator. In terms of hardware and features, the E7 carries
forward the Communicator lineage immaculately.
It has been a long
time since we laid hands on a device that felt so reassuringly solid.
Although slightly reminiscent of the N8, the E7 is cleaner, with fewer
buttons and ports littering the sides, giving it a much more polished
look. Yes, this is a phone you can flaunt.
The front is dominated
by the 4 inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with just a single key
beneath it, to serve as a waking up, menu and back button. Sliding the
screen reveals one of the most spacious QWERTY keyboards seen in recent
times. On the back is an 8.0-megapixel camera, but alas, no autofocus ,
but with a capacity to shoot HD video. The innards of the device are
impressive too — a 680 Mhz processor, which is the fastest seen on an E
series device, every connectivity option you can think of (HDMI, USB on
The Go, as well as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi , 3G and the like), & 16 GB of
non-expandable storage.
