Last year, Samsung launched its Galaxy S, and now, its successor, Samsung Galaxy S II is almost prepared. What are the differences between them?

Samsung Galaxy S II

A bigger and upgraded AMOLED screen

Galaxy S II: 4.27-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen
Galaxy S: 4.0-inch Super AMOLED
Not only the new Galaxy S II has a bigger screen, it also uses new technology. The Super AMOLED Plus display offers clearer display, and is also thinner, brighter and more efficient.
The screen should bring more excellent video watching experience.

Faster: Dual Core Processor and Larger Memory

Galaxy S II: 1.2 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and 1GB RAM
Galaxy S: 1 GHz single-core ARM Cortex-A8 processor and 512 MB RAM
The Galaxy S II uses advantage process running on higher frequency and doubles the memory, this means higher speed, especially for complicate 3D games and multitask.

Full HD camera with a LED flash

Galaxy S II: 8 megapixel, 1080p HD video recording with a LED flashlight and a 2 MP front camera
Galaxy S: 5 megapixel, 720p video recording
While I personally won't use the camera on phone so often, I really applicate Samsung adds a flashlight to the phone. The LED light should be very useful with a third party software to be used as a torch.

HDMI output and USB-host

The Micro USB port found on the Galaxy S II can be used for HDMI output, connecting to external display such as a HD television.
And finally, Galaxy S II supports USB-host: its USB port can be used with a USB-host cable to connect USB devices such as USB flash drives. It may be the first android phone officially support this function.

OK, I listed the major upgrades Samsung has done to the new Galaxy S II. But in fact, the things that have not be changed also give me good impression, for example, the weight (Galaxy S II:116g, Galaxy S:118g), the microSD slot that supports up to 32 GB external flash card and the 3.5 mm headphone jack.
