| The MHL adapter ( required for HD TV-out) and the USB adapter ( that enable the USB host functionality ) aren’t included in the box Stock browser is armed with 21st century GPU acceleration which immensely decrease battery life Do not display SIM contacts Split view in email app and messages which allocates the left side of the screen with a list of emails or ms messages , while the right side with the corresponding messages , halves the 4.3 screen where there isn't enough room left for comfortable reading In landscape mode, the keyboard takes up most of the display My files will only browse the memory card and the large internal storage and wont access the system drive No option to manually load subtitles, they have to have the same filename as the video file to load When battery level reaches 10% , the video player shut downs The outcome is not impressive when plug-in a pair of headphones. Stereo crosstalk increases ,volume levels decreases and intermodulation distortion starts having business in Nothing in the way of lens protection Mono audio recording Video cam starts to focus only after it has started recording . In other words the first few seconds of every clip will be out of focus USB On-The-Go wont recognize USB keyboards Lacks a Dual LED flash which would have been a delight delivering better captures in low light conditions . It has got only a single flash Memory card slot is buried under the battery making the card not hot swappable No dedicated HDMI port for the headset Android market has thousands of apps but in Samsung Galaxy S2 , the user is left only with a 2GB memory out of hyped16GB . Most apps need to be nestled in the 2GB aforesaid dedicated system memory . and reluctant to be placed in the phone USB memory or external memory Alarm wont wake you up if the phone is turned off Sync of contacts with Outlook is a real trouble area Android is not in its purest form . Samsung has added its own UI discrepancies ; TouchWiz 4 which is described by many as a work of a bunch of cartoonists . Many negative responses are leveled against TouchWiz user interface A jumbo display with a tiny pixel count 480 X 800 , less than peers MALI GPU that inbuild to the set is not compatible with most of today game texture compression formats ( EA GAMELOFT etc ) Many negative feedbacks are levelled against the inbuilt Gmail app . Many have failed to refresh it manually with a single try Voice dialling wont respond when the phone screen is locked Audio Player not stylish ( its TouchWiz after all ) When recording videos at full HD , the angle of view changes . The higher the video resolution , the narrower the field of view becomes ( When recording video at 1080p the lens become zoom and when recording video at low resolution of 720p format , becomes wide lenses . Doesnt record full HD video at wide and zooming in , apparently looses wide angle ) Replace burden A claim for a replace is a mission impossible . If your having a phone with a faulty display . and hoping to convince the sales personal its faulty , its strictly advised that you better take him to a more darker place in the store . So my advice , you take the phone to the store even if its your wifes phone that need to be replaced When initiate a call , sound quality of the voice on the other end is terrible (low microphone volume ) . In most cases , the calling party is barely heard by the other party . Number of complaints claim that they have had to yell to be heard . The only known fix is not a permanent one which vanish into thin air with every single restart that follows Airplane mode doesnt do Bluetooth . You cannot listen to that desired playlist inflight through Bluetooth headset On the SWYPE keyboard the mic button is horribly prone to be accidentally hit Stock mail app does not support Doc attachments When recording videos from a distance the camera constantly shifts focus causing videos blur on and off ( video focus issue ) Problems reported with AVC high video file playings using stock video player Some major audio video sync issues have been reported when playing high definition videos More keypad chaos The space bar is too small and constantly makes the full stop a hit Managing call logs and contacts is bit cumbersome Cannot set individual text ringtones Icons not pleasing From exiting apps and returning to the homescreen there is a considerable lag . Also after installing apps , adding widgets to homescreen is bit sluggish Any single Android game or app cannot exceed 50mbs |
