Samsung Galaxy s2 phone high-five like Pearlman here for TechnoBuffalo I'm hanging out with a good old friend of mine Phillip Byrne we used to work together way back in the day didn't we Phillip I seem to remember that yeah way back in the day way back in the day anyway what do you got in your hand there I have the Sprint version of the galaxy s2 this is our newest phone it's the slimmest 4G phone available on Sprint it's actually the slimmest 4G phone on any network where you can find it Philip tell me what are the most compelling aspects of this new rocket ship from Samsung it is very very fast this is the fastest smartphone that I've ever used it's got a 1.2 gigahertz dual core Samsung Exynos processor you won't find faster on the smartphone it's great for running our awesome TouchWiz interface it's great for playing games and showing movies she's got an 8 megapixel camera it can shoot video in 1080p at high profiles which is similar video quality to what you'll find on a blu-ray disc and what frame rate would that be choose I don't know Mike it's got to be 30 frames alright it's gonna be confirmed maybe 30 maybe 24 any of those frame rates it could be you got a 50-50 shot 50-50 raffle at it yeah now I also was wondering about the TouchWiz 4.0 what's new in that TouchWiz has an all new interface design it's got these widgets that are there they're very live so they update over the Internet they're close together so it has more of a magazine like look and feel to it okay so here we see some of the TouchWiz interface as you can see we've improved the widgets drawer on TouchWiz here's the widgets and you get some very cool motion features too you can pay on the phone left and right and it follows your motion there and we have plenty of custom widgets available you can also see here some of the motion features so with two fingers on the phone you can zoom in or zoom out just by tilting the phone and that works on photos and also on webpages unnecessary zoom unnecessary zoom one other differences between the AT&T and the Sprint and the t-mobile can we expect huh they all use the fastest network available on the provider the AT&T version is 4.3 inches to the screen the Sprint and t-mobile version are 4.5 inches the AT&T and the Sprint versions both use our 1.2 gigahertz dual-core Samsung processor the t-mobile is using a different dual-core processor when the Sprint version you do have a 4G on and off toggle which is always a popular request on Sprint's 4G phones one thing you'll also notice is that our widgets our resizable so for instance you can throw up a not that one some of our widgets are completely resizable so here you can see you can sort of drag that widget and make it larger and smaller and that way you can see more or less content and arrange your homescreen how you like tell me about that camera do we get auto focus I want to jump into that camera because I'm loved cameras on the camera guy you get eight megapixel autofocus touch focus it's got a fully customizable camera interface so you can arrange your own shortcuts oh my god and the camera it's the same on all three phones yes same camera on all three phones so here is the camera interface as you can see we've got plenty of features available we've got lots of different shooting modes but one of the things that I especially like about the interface is that you can edit the shortcuts on the camera so if you're someone who switches shooting mode a lot or if you often find yourself using macro like I do you can just make those dedicated shortcut buttons so that they're always quickly available no digging through the menus is that thing thinner than my iPhone is definitely thinner than whatever phone you are using right now no way this is the thinnest phone that you can buy I promise it it's in a phone you can buy within the next week until another Android phone comes out and it's like as thin as a piece of paper I don't think that's gonna happen I don't see any phone ever ever coming out that's better than this phone that is a bold-faced lie I'm probably long about that yeah so let's do a little thin test here let's hold it up to the camera and show the supermodel you want to take home with you that's the Adriana Lima and there's just a lot of customizations options on this phone too you can make folders you can make shortcuts you can put anything you like down here in the frequently used app drawer and really do whatever you like with the phone you can really make it yours it's got some cool calling features so there's lots of shortcuts with some motion you can turn the phone face down if you don't want to answer the call you can set it even though there's no send an end buttons you can answer a call by hitting the HOME key or end the call by hitting the power button if you want to make a call quickly you just swipe to one side and it jumps right to the call or if you decide you want to send that person the text message you just swipe the other way and you're right into sending them a new text message so there's a lot of little shortcuts throughout the phone that make it really nice and convenient to use they just showed us something on the screen a new way a new way to socially interact as far as aggregating contacts together through different different online social sites I've got no idea what you're talking about but I don't either that was too much cellphone mumbo-jumbo one cool thing that it does have is it has keys err okay tell me the phone generates its own webpage so here we have keys running off of this phone and my samsung laptop here is connected to keys so here you can see here's all the photos I have on the phone here are my ringtones I've got videos that I've recorded on the phone or stored on the phone my web bookmarks my contacts my music all of the Samsung Galaxy S 2's used an MHL port which is a mobile high-definition link which means that the USB port also doubles as HDMI so as you can see we've got our gorgeous TV up here and you can see whatever I do on the phone screen I also do on the TV itself so if you've got videos stored on here you can show them over HDMI if you record videos or if you got videos stored or any of your photos or even if you just want to play games up there on the big screen you can do that with these phones so I've been hanging out with my good friend Phillip Byrne hi I'm Mike Pearlman through TechnoBuffalo we just looked at the Samsung Galaxy S to be sure to go to TechnoBuffalo comm for all of the galaxy
