20 best mobile phones in the world today -Samsung Galaxy S2

1. Samsung Galaxy S2

Come on, it's hardly surprising that the first phone to get five stars in over a year from TechRadar is now at the top of our best mobile phone chart.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.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.In short, be it internet browsing, navigation, photography, media, social networking or gaming - the Samsung Galaxy S2 is our pick of the bunch for all those functions in one phone.

Quick verdict-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 review comes around...
