Conclusion
|
The Acer beTouch e210 might just about do for anybody who's in the market for a smartphone without much in the way of multimedia or happy to do without the rather mediocre quality of the touchscreen. Anybody addicted to their smartphone or browsing the web on the move should look elsewhere though. |
The Galaxy S already had a lot going for it, but Samsung's second generation of the smartphone is very much a product of its time. The Galaxy S II is incredibly powerful but surprisingly thin and light at the same time. Our biggest disappointment was the Super AMOLED Plus display's bizarre approach to reproducing colours and the fact that the HDMI connection requires a separate cable. But in every other department—including mobile web browsing, video recording, music, and even making phone calls(!)—the Galaxy S II is a very strong performer. |
