This was the 1st phone I ever had
Back when samsung used to be named "Hang-sung". The phone heated like crazy and to even play a simple game, you'd have to wait a long couple of minutes
unknownspongebob, 17 Jun 2023This Over the horizon ringtone Is like Best Ringtone i ever heardThe Galaxy Note introduced "Over the Horizon" as a ringtone. This phone came with "Minimal Tone" instead, and a longer version of Over the Horizon in the gallery.

Apart from the overheating, this phone rocks, it was so powerful at the time, still remember playing final fantasy 7 on psx emulator and various gba games on it.
Recently I bought this phone on a used market because I wanted to know what phones were like 12 years ago. I wanted to buy an iPhone 4s, but I quickly realized that it was more expensive and it was difficult to flash it on iOS 6. I immediately liked this phone, primarily for its compact size and its amazing display, since this is my first device with an Amoled display. I installed Android 2.3.5 with root on it and a lot of heavy games from those times, which it runs without problems. Now I'm ordering a new battery for it. Absolutely perfect experience :)
best phone ever
Ali mohsen 1, 06 Oct 2023My first smartphone ever, It was perfect
Except for two things, First is old android version ... moreOlder Samsung Galaxy S & Note smartphones tend to have TONS of custom ROM support well after their official end-of-support. S2 is no exception; you can easily find all versions of Android (yes, UP TO 13!!) on XDA, and it's even not much slower than the company's 2020 super-budget phone Galaxy A01 Core (1+16GB variant), despite that A01 Core has quad core CPU.
It's no good at HD playback anymore (like Youtube, even just on browser not app) you have been warned lol.
Plus, only look for international model GT-i9100, NOT i9100G which is for some countries' carriers. i9100G don't have custom ROMs beyond Android 6.0...
My first smartphone ever, It was perfect
Except for two things, First is old android version i got it long time after release
Second is shitty battery, I didn't buy that phone
I was surprised after i discovered it was samsung's 2011 flagship
Unfortunately it's completely destroyed and unrepairable (i think)
I want to get it again and hack it
This was the best android phone of 2011. No other smartphone come close to this in 2011. Don't buy it now tho lol.
This Over the horizon ringtone Is like Best Ringtone i ever heard
Worst phone I ever has. I remember it was so slow even back then.

I remember the commercials. You can check out the new A series phones by Samsung, like A54 or 34. The S21 is good as well and you can get it for the price of a midrange phone now. If you want the latest you can go for the S23 as well. If Sony is available in your country you can check those phones they are good.

S2 is not an upgrade to S4 mini. You can compare the two phones here using the compare option. Also, there are better phones now for much less price. You can actually upgrade to a better device now.
