Samsung confirms Galaxy S II with upgraded specs

[Zorachus]

Wow !!!!! If this is what Sprint and ATT are getting next month, holy cow, this will be the BEST Droid out until the Nexus-Prime, and history shows the Nexus series is just based off the current galaxy series. So this updated Galaxy S2.5 for the U.S. will be the one phone to rule them all.

As long as it a exynos proc I will be happy! Everything else is just a bonus to me

No source, so I'll believe it when I see it. Doesn't even claim "an anonymous tipster close to the situation" or any similar vaguery.

This is the Celox leaked a few weeks ago that was covered right here at AC.

The LTE bands are for Europe and Asia. We won't see these specs in our variant. Maybe as a follow up release later in the year or early next year, but September is wishful thinking.

thisismynext.com is attributing it to Young Samsung, a Korean site managed directly by Samsung. Here's a link: Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab 8.9 being shown with LTE at IFA next week | This is my next...

Judging from the article on AC about the US Galaxy S II, I'm glad that that they all look very similar to the International version. And hopefully, we can get a fully functional version of CyanogenMod.

Biggest question is what chip are the U.S version getting ? Tegra2 or the better Samsung chip on the current Galaxy S2

It is getting Samsung's Exynos Processor. Check out the SPH-D710 benchmarks below which is Sprint's Galaxy S II.

I commented on this when Sprint's variant, with the model number SPH-D710 cleared the FCC.

The 5th item down is the SPH-D710. Check out the description of the processor. Then look two lines down from there at the "Samsung Galaxy SII", and the description of that processor.

Looks the same to me!

We'll know for sure on Monday hopefully, weather permitting, but I'd be VERY surprised if Sprint's variant doesn't have the same processor as the International version.

EDIT - Bah Oversteer beat me to it. I blabber too much sometimes.

The Snapdragon uses the Adreno 220 GPU for the 1.2Ghz processor and the Tegra use an Nvidia GPU. The SPH-D710 uses the Mali-400 GPU which is what's used by the Exynos.

We can never be sure but that is pretty good evidence to me!
