There’s no denying that Samsung’s Galaxy S II is one of the best smartphones one could buy. However, with smartphones getting powerful, one thing that has limited its ability is the battery backup. Galaxy S II’s 1650mAh battery is more than enough if you use your phone thriftily but when it comes to using it all day long with a bit of tweeting, email, multimedia and games, Galaxy S II’s battery is a disappointment. Luckily, we’ve got third-party battery manufacturers like Mugen who’ve come up with a 3200mAh battery for Galaxy S II. We’ve been trying it out for a while and this is what we think.

Although Samsung is second largest mobile phone maker, their smartphone market share has a different story to tell. Needless to say, Samsung is serious about gaining on that front too, which is why they’ve introduced Galaxy S. We spent considerable time with the device and this is what we think.
