New Release - Samsung Galaxy S2 i9200

The Samsung Galaxy S blitz has barely gotten off the ground around the world and yet Russian website Itrans (translated) is saying they have the first pictures of its alleged successor.  While we wait for our Vibrant, Fascinate, Epic 4G, and Captivate  handsets to arrive, the rumor mill sees no reason in sitting back.  According to Itrans, the i9200 Galaxy S 2 will arrive early 2011 with some high end hardware.

Samsung Galaxy S on Review

Samsung Galaxy S smartphones and the Galaxy Tab are Android’s first answer to the Apple iPhone and iPad which have taken  consumers by storm.  The Galaxy S series will be available across all major cell phone carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, and now Verizon once the Fascinate is released (details on that here).

With the advent of the Froyo 2.2 update, many Android users predict that there will be more and more people selecting the handset over the Apple based units.   It’s poised to be the age-old “Mac vs PC” argument – only on a smartphone and tablet computer level.

The Galaxy S tab was revealed in Berlin, and analysts believe that pricing and contracts could be the determining factor over how much the device hurts iPad sales. The Apple iPad doesn’t require contracts, and comes at an affordable price point for many gadget lovers.

As the competition against Apple heats up, the Samsung Galaxy S phones and tablet show the most promise, but they are far from “iPad killers” or “iPhone killers” that so many people are looking for. However, having sold 1 million units in 45 days, the phones at least show promise.
