Samsung Galaxy S2 User Interface Design – My Favourite Features

Many Samsung fans were waiting impatiently for the release of the Samsung Galaxy S2, expecting the new user interface design to awe them with some great features. I am not one of those people; I never owned older Samsung smartphones. Nevertheless, I think that the user interface design of the Samsung Galaxy S2 is quite impressive.

Samsung Galaxy’s user interface design is based on Android, which can be an advantage in itself for Android lovers like me. To be more precise, this smartphone is equipped with Android 2.3.3 with Samsung’s own addition to the user interface design called Touch Wiz.

As simple as it sounds, the thing I like most about this device is its display. Galaxy S2’s display is significantly bigger than that of most other smartphones, and it has outstanding (nearly eye-killing) brightness and contrast. The touchscreen is sensitive and supports motion gestures. In this its user interface design is similar to that of the iPhone but it also has some nice surprises. For example, you can mute the phone by flipping.

Another feature of the user interface design that I particularly enjoy is a multitude of virtual keyboards and languages. I sometimes write in Russian, and since Russian contains more letters than English using a virtual keyboard for Russian has always been an issue for me. Galaxy S2 pleasantly surprised me. Entering text in Russian couldn’t be easier. The user interface design is equipped with different options for entering text, like Swype, Android or Samsung. You can switch languages by swiping across the space bar.

All in all, the Samsung Galaxy S2 is said to be one of the best smartphones that came out in 2011. It is incredibly slim, has a neat user interface design and a very powerful processor. Whether or not it is the best I can’t say, but it is certainly a great toy to have!
