The huge drawback is that the battery life is terrible! Coming from an iPhone where I get 8-9 hours of battery life, I'm only getting around 2-4 hours on the galaxy. <br /><br />The phone's design is cheap, very light in the hand with cheap plastic all around, does not give a quality feel. I feel like if I were to drop this, I would need to make an insurance claim.<br /><br />Whats the point of the phone if it isn't even on? I work most of the day and can't get to a charger, making this phone absolutely useless. I'm going to return the phone and get something with better battery life.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3429 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=40503#review40503 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=40503#review40503 Fri, 18 May 2012 16:28:24 GMT <p><i>androidfan1992 submitted this review of the Samsung Galaxy S II / SGH-i777:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The phone does whatever any other android does. It's fast in terms of processing. No LTE connectivity means that this phone is already outdated. Why be stuck with this phone for two years if it can't connect to 4g?<br /><br />No true sense of Microsoft Office on phone. Tried sending office documents through the stock app, coworkers could not open files. <br /><br />The phone doesn't offer anything special and feels cheap. The phone is fairly light and the plastic backing comes off easily if the phone is dropped. The phone just feels a little too fragile in the hand.<br /><br />If your going to buy an android, buy a 4g phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3429 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=40465#review40465 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=40465#review40465 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:08:11 GMT <p><i>Frankii0110 submitted this review of the Samsung Galaxy S II / SGH-i777:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I had an htc inspire and many problems switch to a samsung galaxy all problems were gone plus it had much more features then the htc <br /><br />Pros<br /><br />-Front facing camera<br />-Fast <br />-Great Signal<br />-great for web browsing<br />-Huge <br />-Thin<br />-Love all the apps in the play store<br />-love that i can be all day on a phone without dieing<br /><br />Cons<br /><br />Don't Really SELL Much covers or case.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3429 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=40157#review40157 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=40157#review40157 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:12:00 GMT <p><i>HeadsUp02 submitted this review of the Samsung Galaxy S II / SGH-i777:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I got this phone free from an Amazon Wireless black Friday deal and beside a couple minor issues has been the best phone I've ever used. I got the phone free with no activation fee so I can't complain too much. <br /><br />Pros: The nav buttons at the bottom are awesome and give good feedback when touched. The Super AMOLED plus screen is beautiful and the textured back help keep the phone from slipping out of my hands, the phone only has minor lag.<br /><br />Cons: Ok battery life for a dual core 4.3" phone unless you're on it all day then you'll barely get 6-8 hours. The speakerphone is a little hard to hear with significant background noise. The phone gets warm with heavy use. The Camera has good quality but seems slightly darker than normal. The search button is not needed.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3429 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=40104#review40104 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=40104#review40104 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 01:10:49 GMT <p><i>the old guy submitted this review of the Samsung Galaxy S II / SGH-i777:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>NEVER have I ever given a 5* rating to a phone or for that matter anything else but this phone is as close as it comes!!!!

It was a tough call to either wait for the Skyrocket (4G LTE) version of the basically the same phone, or to bite. I decided at&amp;t don't have the footprint for 4G so I'm not paying extra for the phone. would buy it again.<br /><br />PRO:<br />- Data speeds averaging 3mb down / 1mb up<br />- very snappy menu response<br />- bright, brilliant screen<br />- sharp pictures, great flash<br />- NFC capability, tho no practical use<br />- huge internal 16gb space<br />- big, big, big.<br /><br />CONS:<br />- taking pictures in low light will take time, but sunny you can take very fast pics repeatedly<br />- internal drive divided into 2 partitions, but no idea how to put stuff on the "usb" partition<br />- did not come with an included microSD card<br />- holding it in left hand has same issue as iphone4 with reception. Lower left corner seems to be where the antenna is, and you lose 1-2 bars just by holding the phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3429 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39988#review39988 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39988#review39988 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 21:24:15 GMT <p><i>MoralR77 submitted this review of the Samsung Galaxy S II / SGH-i777:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Okay, I'm a Samsung fan...just to be clear, but for good reason. They have a great research and development team.<br /><br />Pro's:<br />*No lag...at all. Home screen shifting from screen to screen is completely fluid.<br />*Exynos dual-core CPU, with ARM Cortex-A9 technology. Samsung made their own processor for this device, which is more efficient and faster than any Cortex-A8 cpu out there.<br />*1 GB RAM, 16 GB's onboard memory.<br />*4.3 Super AMOLED Plus screen (beautiful)<br /><br />Con's:<br />*Signal strength seems less powerful than my Captivate, but adequate for my needs.<br />*Not 4.5 inch screen like the Skyrocket.<br /><br />Other Thought:<br />I went with the i777 vs the Skyrocket for multiple reasons. I would lie if price weren't a reason, however I would own a Samsung designed CPU before I owned a device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU. I'm a gamer, and this is the best for what I do with my phone. Although if signal strength and compatibility are your concern, the Skyrocket may be a better option.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3429 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39973#review39973 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39973#review39973 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 03:46:24 GMT <p><i>psykirkland submitted this review of the Samsung Galaxy S II / SGH-i777:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Let me start out by saying that this is the BEST phone I have ever owned!!

I'm so glad I did. Anyway, enough general things, on to the phone itself:<br /><br />PROS:<br />-----<br />* Excellent call quality. Signal strength doesn't seem to be much better than the iPhone was unless I turn off 4G (AT&amp;T - Jersey Shore), but the quality of the calls certainly is much better! Very clear.<br /><br />* Blazing fast browser and internet speeds. Regardless how good the signal is (unless there is 1 bar or less coverage), the browser loads pages VERY quickly, and internet-enabled apps never seem to have problems in normal- or good-service areas. On Wi-fi, it's comparable to viewing the page in a desktop browser.<br /><br />* Battery life is superb. At first I would have said otherwise, but I found a free app on the market called "Battery Defender" which has improved standby battery time tremendously. The first few days I used it for MANY hours each day with no breaks and was still impressed with the battery life.<br /><br />* Ample memory and fast processor. Processes do what you want, when you want. No need to describe these in detail, just look at the specs. They speak for themselves.<br /><br />* Beautiful, large LED-backlit display. It's a fairly large phone compared to the iPhones, but it's not too big like the Skyrocket (Which has terrible battery life as well. Get this one even if you live in an LTE coverage area. You'll thank me.)<br /><br />* Very small profile (light and thin). Even with a case and screen protector on it, still narrower than my previous phone.<br /><br />* Excellent cameras, front and rear. Haven't tested video recording, but it's capable of 1080p.<br /><br />-------<br /><br />Cons:<br />-----<br />* Still haven't really found any cons other than my big fingers pressing the wrong buttons when typing, but that's not the phone's fault.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3429 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39884#review39884 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39884#review39884 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 23:21:13 GMT <p><i>bigcountry0307 submitted this review of the Samsung Galaxy S II / SGH-i777:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I chose this to replace iphone4 and its a far superior phone better quality pictures with front and rear, faster and more responsive than iPhone</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3429 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39827#review39827 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39827#review39827 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 17:18:54 GMT <p><i>VWguy78 submitted this review of the Samsung Galaxy S II / SGH-i777:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I got the new Galaxy a week ago to replace my HTC Inspire, which I liked, but the battery just didn't last. The battery life on the galaxy is much better, the processor it's faster and the screen is flat out beautiful. The only drawback so far is that I haveto manually link contacts with Facebook, which maybe I just missed something. A great phone I would recommend to anyone, in fact I just bought one for my fiancé.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3429 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39815#review39815 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39815#review39815 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 02:26:16 GMT <p><i>thedave1029 submitted this review of the Samsung Galaxy S II / SGH-i777:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>coming from a verizon iPhone 4, loving the S2. great screen, battery, and love being back on my android. i worked for verizon and now at ATT, no downside to the phone yet. love it!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3429 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39801#review39801 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39801#review39801 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 02:47:29 GMT <p><i>Jedi submitted this review of the Samsung Galaxy S II / SGH-i777:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>end of story. how could they do this?</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3429 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39785#review39785 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39785#review39785 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 15:59:38 GMT <p><i>Kobiwan73 submitted this review of the Samsung Galaxy S II / SGH-i777:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I'll do the pros and cons thing first then elaborate a bit more.<br /><br />Pros: Super Fast<br /> Great Dislplay<br /> Thin &amp; Light<br /> Camera/video<br /><br />Cons: No blinky light or sound notification of missed calls or messgages. <br />When you click on the green phone icon it always defaults to the dialer not the call log and/or last screen used.<br />Texts messages show up in call log.<br />No select all option when you want to empty your trash bin within email. ( have to delete one at a time)<br />Album and Artist info in Pandora is basic and boring.<br /><br />I went from a Motorola Atrix to the Galaxy. I know my cons could be trivial or anal to some people, but when you come from a phone that has certain features you get used to having them and when you go to a phone that doesn't have them it almost seems like I'm down grading. I don't feel I should have to unlock my phone to see if I missed a call or message or download an app to give me the feature. I mean regular flip phones had this feature before smart phones were even thought of. I should be able to select all my messages in my trash bin to delete them all at once. I shouldn't have to make 4 clicks to end up calling someone from my call log. On my Atrix, the Album and artist info is elegant and elaborate, prettier if you will.<br />So, since the cons are big ones (to me anyway) I only gave it 3.5 stars. and I am still debating on returning it. I said I would never go back to an Iphone, but can't lie and say I'm not curious to how good the new Iphone will be.<br />Sorry if my review comes across harsh, it is a great phone and does what it is supposed to do and does it well. If you come from a phone that didn't have the features I spoke of, then you won't miss anything and be totally happy.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3429 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39784#review39784 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39784#review39784 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 15:58:49 GMT <p><i>goonryan2005 submitted this review of the Samsung Galaxy S II / SGH-i777:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>First, I must get this out, I do not ever give a 5.0 for any phone. This phone is a whopping 4.9/5.0, but I must round up in the rating system. <br />This phone is absolutely the best phone out there right now. The dual core 1.2 Ghz processor is flawlessly quick. The 4.3" AMOLED display is the nicest on the market. The 8mp camera that records in true 1080p is simply stunning. The phone is a perfect size. Not too big such as a 4.5, and not too small such as a 4.0 and below. It is super thin as well, so adding a case compliments the size. This phone is simply a must have. Apple has a lot to fear with this thing being released right before the 5/4S. Hands down victory to Samsung and Google.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3429 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39783#review39783 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3429&r=39783#review39783 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 06:25:07 GMT <p><i>BarnettJr2 submitted this review of the Samsung Galaxy S II / SGH-i777:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>What can I say light, thin, excellent screen (of course), very good batt. life (NFC on batt),excellent reception on AT&amp;T in rural Central Texas. Very fast &amp; smooth processor, with good graphics. Like button locations, power on rgt.(1/3rd way down) &amp; volume on opposite side. Several interesting features not on other phones. Such as being able to turn on &amp; listen to CB channels.! <br />While back cover is a textured composit, unit is has a very solid feel. Perfect size &amp; feel with white TPU case.<br /> Would have been nice to come with HDMI adapter &amp; cable, like the Samsung Infuse did. Load a few apps from Android market, thumb keyboard, advanced task manager etc.&amp; u're Good to Go. Have not found way to change four bottom apps yet.
