Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE Performance and Software

Performance and Software

At its core, the Galaxy S II HD LTE ran on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) with the option to upgrade to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), complemented by Samsung's TouchWiz UI 4. Its hardware was powered by the Qualcomm MSM8660 Snapdragon S3 chipset, featuring a dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion CPU and an Adreno 220 GPU. These specifications allowed for smooth performance in most everyday tasks and moderate multitasking, although more demanding applications and games might have pushed it to its limits.
