well, I have heard many complaints of this particular model, but I have experienced none of them. it's really a magnificent device, and seems like people are intentionally TRYING to find faults. yeah, bad battery life, oh really? huge 4.3" display and a monster GPU plus a dual core processor. what else could you expect? also on this part my unit have performed brilliantly. battery lasts long enough for me, and I can charge it using the Nokia DC-11 travel charger if I have to. no problems, officer.

Are there ANY high-end Android phones that don't have glitches. Well, I guess even the iPhone 4 had em. It's just the nature of the beast.

My first S2 had this yellow tint on the left side of the screen. Got a DOA swap. Should never had done that, the second S2 I got has both the yellow tint issue AND a bright circle appearing in my top right corner of the screen. I would say the circle is the worst, because that one is visible nearly at every level of brightness AND color.

Nokia smartphones are garbage,if the only fault Nokia smart phones had was a little yellow spot, the owner would be lucky. So if you own one, you sure would know what its like to suck.
I dont own a smart phone. I use a crappy little $40 pre pay Nokia and its hopeless, but...hey, it makes calls and it cost me $40.
This Samsung sure does look nice though. I wouldnt be surprised if yellow gate was started by apple and Nokia in a fit of green envious rage.

Hi, same problem here i Italy.
I've swaped 3 phones until now and all of them had this prolem, plus other problems like dead or stuck pixels, and some "stain" on the display.
Seems like they have serious production issues.
In addition to this i've to report the pink spot issue in camera and stuttering in video recording if the exposure value is set to "0" when video is autofocusing. To avoid this problem exposure value must be set to "-2": with this value the videos are fluid and without any stutter.
This is WEIRD for a 600€ phone.

I Had to take my SGS2 back to be swapped under ELF last week because the ring tones and all sound stopped playing, Optus sent it back to Samsung to confirm the diagnosis... Cant wait to get it back or swapped because its an awesome handset!!

Hi, to all. I got my sgs2 since last saturday and i already changed it due to a dead pixel. The new unit and the old unit suffers both of the yellow tint defect or "faded" display. It's easy to notice and it's annoyng me.

well, then i think i'm one of the lucky ones! i just got my SGS2 2 days ago and i haven't noticed any yellow tint on the display. i've tried setting the brightness to the lowest setting and tried looking for yellow spots on different background colors (grey, white, etc). i can't see any yellow tinting.
loving my SGS2 now. i miss the notification led on my Nexus One, though. :(
