Samsung announces GALAXY S II LTE, GALAXY S II HD LTE and Omnia W smartphones

Samsung on Monday unveiled three new smartphones in South Korea, the GALAXY S II LTE and GALAXY S II HD LTE Android phones, and the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango-powered Omnia W. The GALAXY S II HD LTE is Samsung’s first GALAXY-branded smartphone to feature a 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD display, with a pixel count coming in at 1280 x 720 equal to 316 ppi. It also features a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 16GB of memory, an 8-megapixel camera with support for 1080p HD video capture, Android 2.3 Gingerbread and, as its mouthful of a name might suggest, 4G LTE support. Read on for more.

The Samsung GALAXY S II LTE features specs that are nearly identical to the S II HD LTE, but the giant Super AMOLED HD display has been replaced by a nearly-as-giant 4.5-inch WVGA Super AMOLED Plus panel. The result will likely be a slightly less expensive price point but no real benefit in terms of pocketability.

Last up from South Korea Monday morning, Samsung took the wraps off the Omnia W, the international version of the Samsung Focus Flash headed to AT&T. The Omnia W features a 3.7-inch WVGA Super AMOLED display, a 1.4GHz processor, a 5-megapixel camera, 8GB of internal storage and Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7.5 Mango operating system.

The just-announced GALAXY phones will launch in South Korea ahead of other markets and the Omnia W will launch as the Focus Flash on AT&T this fall. No other pricing or availability details have been made available.

    Why would Samsung waste typing building for any OS other than DROID?

        Because this isn’t engadget and not a fandroid home base, get a life you loser. If this gets that much of a rise out of you then you need to reevaluate your life.

      DROID is not an OS. It’s a brand.

        You must be new here.

      • Warjcowski

        DROID is a term coined and owned by LucasFilm Ltd.,
        the licensing rights for which Verizon had to purchase in order to brand
        their specific line of Android Smartphones.

        Only because people dont know the OS yet. Theres a reason why so many think tanks are predicting WP7 to take over IOS within 3 years. Ive got my Galaxy S 2 waiting only because TMobile doesnt offer a better WP7 phone yet. But as soon as it does, Ill get it. I have the DVP for almost a year and can easily says the WP7 OS easily trumps Android. I can say that for sure also because Ive developed apps for both systems and believe me WP7 is a much better ecosystem.

    In other news, apple announces new features taken directly from android.

    • Anonymous

      What features would those be from this article? Or do you have to make up crap to make it seem like there are actual innovations in Android?

      Android fans’ idea of innovation: Copy WebOS’ consolidated push notification view but make alert access come from the top instead of the bottom and claim that Apple is stealing from them when the idea of a PNS originated from Apple.

        What a confused little boy you are. You had better go back and do some research, Apple has robbed more small companies, stole more patterns then Carter has pills. Apple’s idea of innovation is selling their customers very expensive memory sticks instead of using sd cards.

      Why do you feel the need to mention Apple at all in this post? Do Fandroids have that much penis envy over Apple/iPhone that you can’t make one productive comment about the post?

        Why do you feel the need to respond? What happen, you got your feelings hurt?

    • Anonymous

      Umm features that were announced by apple were taken from jailbreak. Which myself and others have been using a long time now. They took the devs as well. Back to your laggy, choppy battery killing android.

    Why are you doing this to me Samsung?  Why should I buy the Galaxy S2 now??  :(

  • http://twitter.com/cyberb0b Bob Autrey

    Comment sections on tech blogs should be done away with. They are little more than troll bait anymore and rarely is anything said that is productive to the reader. It’s become a playground for loser fanboy teens who think that the device they tweet with somehow makes up for their tiny, virgin penises.

      So instead of being constructive you chose to be critical of others also? Maybe you should just stop commenting.

      That’s why BGR has a button above the comments section to hide all comments. I suggest you make use of it. I use it whenever I get bored of the trolling, but the trolls here usually amuse me and make me feel better about myself for having a job and being a productive member of society.

      I disagree. Let the trolls have these sites just as long as the real tech-oriented sites exist and I won’t mention them. I enjoy posting sometimes just to prove their ignorance.

      If rumors are correct one of these puppies should be state side soon….the specs looks familiar to the Droid Prime/Nexus Prime/Samsung Nexus….that are supposed to go to VZW….any thoughts?

    When should we expect a USA release Samsung, 2013? Unfortunately, should Apple be SMART and release a 4 inch display iPhone, Android sales will be DECIMATED. I am finished waiting for a GREAT Android device. They are merely phantoms, at least for USA consumers, AND Verizon customers.

    How does 720p video output from a phone compare to something you would watch on your tv like a blu ray or over the air hd? Just wondering how close we are to renting on our phones and plugging into our TVs for viewing.

    Waaay too big. I’m already carrying around one monster in my pants; there’s really no room for two! ;-)

    And to pre-empt the usual idiotic comments: No, I don’t wear skinny jeans or women’s jeans. I wear normal-sized men’s pants. I’m also not a fatty.
