The successor to the Samsung Galaxy S Android smartphone has been revealed ahead of Mobile World Congress in the Samsung Galaxy S II. The Android smartphone features Samsung’s rebranded Exynos 1GHz dual-core processor, 4.3-inch 800 x 480 resolution Super AMOLED Plus display, NFC support, Bluetooth 3.0, and 24Mbps HSPA+ support. It will also feature a Wi-Fi radio, GPS support and Android 2.3.
The successor to the Samsung Galaxy Tab has also been revealed in the Galaxy Tab II with a display resolution of 1280×800, same dual-core Exynos processor as on the Galaxy S II, a choice of 16GB/32/64GB of internal memory and microSD slot along with an 8.0 megapixel main camera, full HD video recording and dual surround sound speakers.
More information is expected to be revealed tomorrow during Samsung’s keynote at MWC.
Hi Humberto! You know, when the first Galaxy Tab came out I thought I finally hit paydirt. I was looking forward to having a substantial unit ( I could find in my purse) with everything I need, phone, camera, internet, music. Even at the whopping price I could finally be high tech and streamlined instead of juggling and carrying around a 100 pounds of equipment, everything would be in one place. Then as the world got this baby, they decided to mess with the US and take out the phone. That killed it for me. I spoke to Sprint about it and they said well, you can use skype and get a phone to go with it. What? For that price I can get a netbook. So, I ended up going back to my old phone with the big buttons that at least sends and receives calls, is protected by a flip front and I’ll wait until somebody figures out how to put everything into one place like a tablet with a phone, like Galaxy was supposed to be. sigh…
“24Mbps HSPA+”…
So in other words, no Sprint version for a while :(.
I wouldn’t be so sure about that JailBird. Carriers will often jump out with their own announcements after keynotes, so there’s always a chance that Sprint, Verizon, et al will announce their own version.
Linda, while I agree that taking the phone functionality out of the first Galaxy Tab was a bad idea, it looks like HP’s integration of phone/SMS access in the TouchPad might convince them to keep it in the Galaxy Tab II, if just to say that you can also take calls and receive messages on it and maybe get the jump on HP.
US carriers were afraid of affecting sales of their Galaxy S smartphones, so that’s why they took out the phone functionality in the first Tab.
Does this mean the original galaxy S phones could be getting a boost to android 2.3?!?!?!? Fingers crosses, because we definitely need the new software to keep up.
Oh, I’m sure AT&T, Vzw, & T-Mo will all announce them. Sprint is too busy trying to hype the Echo up :).
Thank you for the additional info Humberto; great reporting! I look forward to more phone news and info from you here. We’ll just have to see what happens but ultimately we never really know until release.
