Samsung Galaxy S II Shot & Specs Leaked

February - 12 - 2011 - Saturday 2 COMMENTS

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.)

The highly desirable HTC Hero which was unveiled earlier this summer for will become Sprint’s first Android phone on October 11. Not only has the device been re-tooled with an EV-DO rev. A radio for Sprint’s 3G network (the world version is WCDMA,) but it has also received a total chassis overhaul. Sprint HTC Hero

But looking at the two versions side-by-side, the physical design has been almost completely rethought. Where the HTC Hero was slim and angular, with the now-trademark “chin” cropping up from the device’s tail end, the Sprint Hero has been rounded out and flattened.
