Can you recommend a good video chat software for my Samsung Galaxy S2? I am already using Skype but I just want to try other softwares that are available in the market to compare which is the best.
You can use Google chat on your Samsung galaxy for Video chat. Google Talk video chat for Android is now available on Samsung galaxy s2. You can now use the Voice Chat application and can make video calls. This application can also use 3G and 4G and not just WI-FI.
All you need is a Google account. Go to Google talk application >> click on Video chat icon placed next to your contact name.
You can then video chat with your friends/ family. You can also use Quick. Quick helps you in Video chat, you can also Video mail. Sharing Video is also possible using Quick.
This application can also use 3G, 4G along with WI-FI. Video calling resolution is high as well. When you are not live for a Video chat, you can get Video mail. Only drawback that can be listed about Quick is it is poor at finding/ searching contacts having Quick. Fring is another Video chat option which you can use. You can use the same for group chat as well. Tango can also be used for Video chatting.
Hello Drey,
I think so far Skype is the best video chat application that you can use on the Samsung Galaxy S2. I also use Skype to keep in contact with my family as well as friends around the world I have never been disappointed by its services. Though I must say that sometimes connections can either difficult to call, or they could be very quiet and also prone to drop.
If you need to try other video calling applications then I think the following must work for you:
I have used these two and I found them to be impressive. You can go ahead and give them a try and see what the response will be like for you.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Carl

You can try Gtalk 1.3 for video chat on your Samsung Galaxy phone. Samsung has already deposed the inbuilt GTalk video calling on the recent Galaxy S2 firmwares.

1. Download and then install the GTalk 1.3 installer on the market on your Android phone.
2. Install the application and then simply run it.
3. Select the Recommended latest version and then click Install to finish.

If you want to try other video chat apps for Android other than Skype, your Android phone already has one, the Google Hangouts app. Try running the app to see if it needs updating. Another app you should try is the Google Duo. Unlike Google Hangouts which is designed for group chats, with Google Duo, it is designed almost exclusively for one on one communication.
