Samsung – The number one mobile phone provider in the U.S., announced the Galaxy S™ II will be available with AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile starting this fall.
Yesterday, Samsung Mobile hosted a variety of bloggers, writers, tech reporters and more for the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy SII at Samsung Experience in NYC. In a strategic move, Samsung has released the rumored “iPhone 5 killer” into the US market (The iPhone 5 is rumored to be released later next month.) The new phone will also get the 4G treatment, offering data speeds up to four times faster than what is expected in Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 5. All three Galaxy S II smartphones have some specs in common: a 4.3-inch, Super AMOLED 800×480 screen, a dual core 1.2-GHz processor, making it more powerful than the iPhone 4. “The unveiling of the Galaxy S II is a landmark achievement for Samsung, our carrier customers and consumers,” said Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Mobile said.
(oddly enough – Verizon wasn’t invited to this party, could you believe that Sprint is the big winner in all of this? Surprised me to, yet this is another debate for another time…)
As one of the best selling Android phones on the market, the new Samsung Galaxy SII is definitely going to give Apple a run for the money…
