Winner - Samsung Galaxy S II
It may be the slimmest smartphone money can buy, but Samsung's dual-core Galaxy S II is also the most powerful, feature-packed device to hold a SIM card. With a high-tech Super AMOLED Plus display that's brighter and clearer than any other phone, it's the big boy in the multimedia playground, while its super-charged social networking features let you sync dozens of email and social accounts, create an all-knowing universal calendar as well as a phone book on 'roids with collated details of all your friends' accounts. Add that to an HD video camera that shoots eight-megapixel stills, interactive widgets for tons of information, and you're looking at a hero handset that will easily stay at the top for months to come. In other words, one of our worthiest Phone of the Year winners ever.

Arguably second in importance only to Gadget of the Year, the nation’s handset of choice is, for the first time in three years, from neither Apple nor HTC. Little wonder, Samsung smashed it into the roof of the net with its top-of-the-range Android blower. A gorgeous looking phone with slick operation, the S II also features the best camera on any smartphone to date, great integration with Samsung’s TVs and other kit and a screen that matches the iPhone 4’s, without aping it, thanks to the unfathomable power of Super AMOLED.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 is a phone we're excited to whip out in a pub and show off to our friends – it's the ultimate media mobile, the next generation in web browsing thanks to slick Flash integration, a very good replacement for a pocket camcorder and, goshdarnit, it makes calls pretty well too.

The Samsung Galaxy S II has not only set a new bar for smartphones in 2011; it's smashed the bar, recreated it in its own image and put it out of reach of the competition - although perhaps that will change when our ~~HTC Sensation~~ Iphone 4S review comes around...

I think I'm going to get this instead of a 4S.

Errrlend

Did you know the 4S smashed it in all the tests? #oop
Still 2011 and not even out yet. This "winner" won't be valid in November

The 4S is slaying in it's bench tests. #TeamiPhone

It is?!?!

But I like Android so much more than iOS.

Yes they did. Samsung's user interaction design sucks, which make HTC a homerun despite the some weakness on hardware efficiency. HTC sensation XL wins

Usability is the most important thing when picking smart phone. So pick whatever you think is more friendly to your using experience

I would agree if the 4S had a 4 inch screen

I'm getting mine soon.

4S is beasting right now.

This phone is better than the 4S. Bench tests really don't account for anything. Its all about day to day use. And pretty much every phone critic has praised the SGII while the 4S has been a disappoint all around.

Depends on what will be inside. Even though Apple didn't do major updates this year I think it MIGHT withstand these devices. We'll see
