Samsung Galaxy S2 Coming to the US, Branding Confirmed?

[BlacknTan]

Most of the tech blogs and info i've read about this phone suggests it will be 3g only.

No 4g = no sale for me.

I've held off buying the tbolt and the charge because I want a dual-core 4g smartphone. The galaxy s2 is dead sexy and incredibly fast... but why buy a fast processor and settle for slow 3g service? I could understand if I didn't have 4g available in my area, but I live in metro detroit where there is a strong 4g presence

From what i've read this phone will be coming in q3, around the same time that the Bionic is set to release. If the rumors are true and the galaxy s2 is 3g only, it will be an easy decision to go for the Bionic.

If samsung manages to push this out with 4g, then it will be a *much* harder to pick between the two.

Those are the worst names for phones that I have ever seen. I really, really hope that Samsung cares about these devices more than their silly names indicate.

lol i was thinking the same thing.

I'm with you, sorta. I see little point in picking up Verizon's variant if it's 3G only. Why have all that power and only a paltry 3G connection? Problem is, there's no other option on the horizon as far as I'm concerned. I have no interest in the Bionic (maybe I would if they dump the pentile matrix for real qHD, but doubtful).

Agree about the pentile screen pixel layout. I've used the ATRIX, and the effective resolution really sucks, you can see a texture on solid colors

 

[manilaboy1vic]

if it comes with LTE, that phone has my name on it...

I'm CAPTIVATED by this EPIC phone and can't wait to ATTAIN one. I'm FASCINATED to catch a glimpse of that VIBRANT screen. My only question is, will it FUNCTION WITHIN the Verizon's 4g network?

You see what I did there?

The original Bionic had a qhd pentile screen, but they dumped the original Bionic hardware in lieu of the Targa. I googled around to see if specs for the Targa's screen have been leaked. I wasn't able to find anything.

It's a valid point and i'll be interested to see what Moto comes up with, but the Bionic in its new form factor (the Targa) may have a real qHD, or some other screen entirely. Who knows?

All that being said, I'd be willing to put up with a pentile matrix screen if it meant i get both a dual-core processor and 4g.

Heck, i'm almost ready to jump ship now and go buy a single-core 4g phone and use that for a year then sell it and buy a triple core or quad core phone. I drool at the thought of 4g tethering for my laptop.

 

[bendystrawboy]

this phone is obviously not lte, why? CAUSE ITS NOT HALF AN INCH THICK.

 

[mach330]

Yeah I really like this phone too. Maybe second generation lte will be thinner. I really don't want these brick phones coming out.

 

[music life]

been looking at a lot of videos for this phone... it looks nice. cant wait for it to come out.

This is definitely the one upcoming Android phone that has my attention. I really am still not losing sleep over 4G. I can live with 3G for one more iteration while the bugs are still getting worked out.
