Here’s a high res shot of the Samsung Galaxy S II

While the offending press shot has since been removed, the text remains intact with the following specs: Android 2.3 Gingerbread, 4.3-inch display, 1GHz dual-core processor, HSPA+, Bluetooth 3.0, and 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi. Additionally, Paran says that this new handset weighs 116g (4.09 ounces) and is 8.49mm thick — which is close to, if not the, thinnest smartphone device we’ve heard of yet. (For the record, the Xperia Arc is 8.7mm at its thinnest point.)

As with rival smartphone platforms — Apple’s iPhone OS, RIM’s BlackBerry OS and Palm’s new WebOS — the out-of-the-box features offered by Android are just a starting point.
