One of the worst-kept secrets of MWCthis year -- theGalaxy S II-- is finally official, and we'd say it definitely lives up to its name as a proper successor to the originalGalaxy Sthat lit the Android marketplace on fire last year. Major (and largely expected) features include a 4.27-inch 800 x 480Super AMOLED Plusdisplay, an 8 megapixel primary camera with 1080p video capture accompanied by a 2 megapixel cam up front, Gingerbread with TouchWiz 4.0, integrated NFC support (on some versions), and a shell measuring just 8.49mm thick, making it likely the thinnest smartphone ever to roll off an assembly line -- in fact, it's over 0.2mm slimmer than the Sony EricssonXperia Arc'sthinnest point.
We were originally told that the Galaxy S II would be using an NVIDIA Tegra 2 SOC, but have been informed that was incorrect -- the phone will indeed have a dual-core 1GHz Samsung chip, and quite possibly theExynos. There's also 1GB of RAM.
For reference, the iPhone 4 is 9.3mm thick, so you can just imagine how thin this device is. It also has a 2MP front facing camera. It releases this month in Europe and Asia, can't wait till somebody gets the ROM and releases it on XDA forums, I'm all over the apps and other goodies
