Samsung has got themselves a very good name in the mobile phone industry, with the launch of a variety of handsets. That even made then the manufacturer releasing the most number of phones in a short period of time.
The Galaxy S which was launched a year back, was a trend setter. It was rumoured to be an iPhone killer. And it did live up to its name.
Now the second generation Galaxy S is ready. And this time it has been a huge discussion topic, on whats going to be there at its heart, its processor.
The Galaxy S II was showcased at this years MWC. But then even before that it was a hot topic among gadget fanatics. The Galaxy S II was supposed to run on an NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core processor.
But when it was showcased at the MWC it was running on a 1 GHz Samsung chip (Exynos) . It did sadden the hearts of NVIDIA lovers (me included).
But lately there has been information that Samsung Galaxy II may also come equipped with the NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, to fill the supply gap. The Samsung chip even though it had comparable performance, seems did not have the yields for such demand.
So there is a chance that phones purchased from different regions may be running different processors.
Other than the processor, the major features are :
- 4.27-inch 800 x 480 Super AMOLED Plus display
- 8 megapixel primary camera with 1080p video capture
- 2 megapixel secondary front camera
- Gingerbread with TouchWiz 4.0
- Integrated NFC support
- A shell measuring just 8.49mm thick (making it likely the thinnest smartphone ever)
