The Samsung Galaxy S2 may have been released on contract deals back in early 2011 but it is still the top selling smart phone despite competition from new releases such as the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, iPhone 4S and HTC Sensation XE.
One reason may be that Samsung Galaxy S2 deals have continued to get cheaper every month with Galaxy S2 offers for a free phone now standing at just £25.53 per month across 2 T-Mobile tariffs, our preferred one of these deals offers 600 minutes of calls, 500 text messages and 500MB of data to use every month and at the moment this contract deal is being offered with 8 months line rental at just 99p.
When you total up the expenditure of this free Galaxy S2 deal over the 24 month period and take into account the extra discounted line rental is works out to just £416.40, that’s cheaper than buying this powerful Android phone on Pay As You Go and you get all of those inclusive minutes, text and data.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 has also been released in a newer white edition which is also seeing record sales and a rumoured pink edition is supposedly on its way soon, so why are so many people opting for this Android phone over other more recently released models?
Well, the Galaxy S2 was well ahead of its time when first released, it was the first to pack in a super speedy dual core 1.2GHz processor as well as a Super AMOLED Plus 4.3 inch touch screen display which works great even in direct sunlight, the 8 mega pixel camera captures high quality stills as well as full 1080p HD video clips and all of this is squeezed into an extremely light, sleek and slim body.
In comparison, the iPhone 4S failed to ignite the passion of many consumers waiting for a redesigned iPhone 5 model whilst the extra build quality offered by the HTC Sensation XE meant a bulkier and heavier phone, the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus is starting to make inroads with its latest Android 4.0 operating system so maybe could be a contender as prices drop but for now the Galaxy S2 is king of the smart phones and proved this by winning the T3 ‘Phone of the Year’ award for 2011.
