Samsung Galaxy S II X T989D - user opinions and reviews

It's a good phone, but sucks in 2023
I own one. It works here and there, not often though.
From experience, it's good for someone who's older or doesn't care about social media. Perfect 8mp camera for decent photos. You can only send messages, call people, very very basic web browsing, and a camera. Another thing you can do with this phone is install basic apps that still support android 4.0 which isn't many. This phone is good for someone who doesn't care about screen size since it's very small compared to a Samsung Note 8.
Overall, just buy a newer phone like a Samsung S20 FE.

Then, installed CyanogenMod 13.1 (Android 6.0) on it. It runs extremely smoothly and everything is better than ever! Link to CM 13.1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2-tmobile/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-0-hercules-t3246059
There's also Android 7.1.1 available that works smoothly, too. Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2-tmobile/development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-0-celox-t3470659
Good luck!

I've been using this phone since september 2012. I did NOT upgrade the OS, it's using Android 4.0.4. I honestly have zero complaints about this phone, I like that it does not have the physical button on the front for dirt to get caught in. It has the 4 "touch" buttons. It's now August 2015 and I still have absolutely no reason to upgrade. I'm not going to lie but this is probably the best smartphone ever made, if there is such a thing. It's seen it's share of abuse, I use a thin "adrema" black rubber case and it still has the factory screen protector on it(yes it came with a factory screen protector, unlike new stuff) and this phone has seen it's share of abuse. It's an outright champ. Unless you're playing demanding new-age games on your phone, you don't need anything more to this day. That's my two cents and I never write reviews for anything. That's how much this phone rocks.

Overall a great phone you can buy inexpensively, unlock it, root it, install a custom recovery, and now it will run everything up to Android 5.0 and work on all GSM & 3G networks worldwide. For a dual core 1.5Ghz device, it really does move quite well.

had this for over 2 years now, always been a great phone, but has recently been a very problematic device.
Running ICS 4.0.3, haven't been able to upgrade OS, in fact i haven't had a single OTA update since i got the phone and i have only ever been able to get Kies to work once (when i upgraded from Gingerbread).
It has served me well these two years and has out performed any other phone i have ever had, put its time to put it away and embrace my Nexus 5.

love this phone, I've had it for a year and no issues to date... this page is wrong or outdated, I have the Telus (Canada) version of this phone and I'm running Android 4.1.2 Jelly bean... so far very stable, I don't even think I'll upgrade yet until something I like comes out.

I loved this phone! Everything worked great and the camera was awesome. Only flaw was the Bluetooth, to my knowledge, never worked... I only went to use it several months after I purchased the phone and the bluetooth wasn't working. it connected 2 or 3 times then stopped. My BF even changed the ROM in hopes it would help but it didn't... too bad. now im on the hunt for a new phone.
