I have been using Samsung Galaxy S2 for a year now. I had it on the day it was first launched. And within that year, Samsung already launched Galaxy Note, Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3, where the later two are already running in the Ice Cream Sandwich, more often called as ICS, which is Android 4.0.
After Samsung announced that SGS2 users will have their ICS updates anytime soon, I cannot wait for it. I am so excited to use it. I loved the interface, the snappiness, and mostly the camera feature. So I waited and waited and my excitement cannot be contained when one day I was informed that ICS is already available thru Kies.
And so I did the upgrade! Now I had the ICS interface! I also a few couple of changes here and there. But I was really not so happy with two things - the camera feature and battery life.
I loved the upgrade made to the camera features in SGS3 and Galaxy Nexus, especially the panorama part. I love taking photos using my mobile phone. I have been an Iphone 3GS user and switching to SGS2 was indeed a good decision and that's where I started my interest in mobile photography. I am just a newbie though, but the 8MP camera really was a great choice, together with the AMOLED screen. But sadly, the ICS camera features is not available for SGS2 upgrades.
And the most important and crucial thing of all - the battery life. I usually use my smartphone for gaming, browsing, phone calls and a couple of SMS and it would last me the whole day.. And it was a disappointment that after the ICS upgrade, I need to recharge my phone after 4 hours of my usual activities. A bit frustrating, but maybe because of hardware incompatibilities, the battery seemed to drain faster.
So I am now eyeing on Samsung Galaxy S3, but my contract can only end after 1 more year. Hopefully the new family member of Samsung Galaxy S's will be out by then.. For now, I need to have a reminder everyday to make sure I bring my chargers with me whenever I go..
