This is a phone that just won't die... it held off the iPhone 4S and it's just repeated the trick with the HTC One X.
Make no mistake - this was a close call, as only the slightly iffy battery life of the One X and the recent upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich have kept the S2 at the top.
What we love about the Samsung Galaxy S II is the sheer amount of stuff that's packed in under the chassis - but more important is the way Samsung has used all that tech to create a phone that just works near-flawlessly.
And don't worry about the impending Samsung Galaxy SIII - while it's going to probably knock this bad-boy off the top spot, the S2 is now getting to ridiculously cheap levels on many one year deals, and that makes it very much worth thinking about.
The dual-core 1.2GHz processor, the Super AMOLED plus screen and the excellent sonic performance of the media player all combine to make a real doozy of a mobile phone.
Recording in 1080p is a nice touch (given that it actually works most of the time) and the camera is more than enough to take great shots in a short space of time - although we suggest you check out the iPhone 4S or HTC One X for snapper power, as we rate the cameras on those devices that little bit higher.
In short, be it internet browsing, navigation, media, or social networking- the Samsung Galaxy S2 is still our pick of the bunch for all those functions in one phone.
