Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy S II LTE i727R

Short Review

  • The Samsung Galaxy S II LTE i727R features a sleek design with dimensions of 130.9 x 69.9 x 9.4 mm and a weight of 132g, making it comfortable to hold.
  • Its 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus display offers vibrant colors and decent clarity with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, although the pixel density is relatively low at 207 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion CPU and Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon S3 chipset, paired with 1GB of RAM, which provides satisfactory multitasking capabilities for its time.
  • The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera serves basic selfie needs.
  • Battery life is supported by an 1850 mAh capacity, but it lacks fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software experience is dated, lacking modern features and updates.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and NFC, enhancing its versatility.
  • The phone does not support 5G and has a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
  • Overall, the Galaxy S II LTE i727R combines a solid build and functional features, though it shows its age in performance and software.
