Galaxy S II for AT&T leaks through Samsung's Facebook photos
gsmarena said:
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S II for the AT&T network made a surprise appearance yesterday. To be dubbed the Samsung Attain, it was spotted in Samsung Singapore’s Facebook photos which were showing off the new dock for the device.

As you can see from the picture, the AT&T logo is prominently placed on the front. The keys below the display look different compared to the standard Galaxy S II. Instead of a mechanical Home button you now get a capacitive one and there is a dedicated search button as well.
While initially the device did seem like the Infuse 4G to us but then when we saw the side profile we noticed that the camera on this phone was jutting out of the case far more than the one on the Infuse 4G. In fact the camera on the Infuse 4G is completely flush with the body, unlike the one on the Galaxy S II. So the one you see above is undoubtedly the AT&T Attain.
For now, however, we have no information available on the launch date of the device but we will keep an eye out for that.

Looks nice but still prefer the EU version with a home button.

That looks pretty sweet, but i agree; I like the Korean/EU version better with the three button look.

Saw this a while back. Depending on whether I have the money laying around I'll upgrade to that next.

because nobody has ever rooted a atnt phone.. never even heard of atnt company till now. I wonder if AT&T will have legal issues over this

I have a feeling those people running 2.3.4 on their atrix would beg to differ.
And how could you have never heard of AT&T? Your post is nonsensical.

how in the world are you a senior member and not even see the dry humor in what just transpired there. let me guess, your more of a analytical guy and not a design/imaginative guy. you didn't even fully read my comment, or else you would have seen the different spellings. i sure hope you don't help people with their questions with that selective reading disorder of yours

My bad, if you were joking I completely missed it. Just a lot of people on the forums will come through here browsing, see something like that and take what they see here as gospel. I'm not in any position to speak for AT&T, I've just seen development take place on several of their phones (particularly the atrix now that the bootloader is unlocked). I didn't see it clarified in this thread so I thought I would.
Your post came across a bit uninformed/jumbled, if you were messing around then that's one thing, just maybe clarify in the future for the sake of any newer members that will probably take what they see at face value. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

its cool, i was just kidding anyways. i was basically making it somewhat more obvious what the previous poster (•.•) was saying to pukemon.(the guy who was trying to ghettofy AT&T). He wasn't being serious, at least i hope not...
I just was correcting the confusion without calling him out, and adding on a little humor at the same time. But since we are ending all the fun, just to restate...
YES! AT&T can be rooted!
P.S.~~technically AT&T(a company) cant even be rooted, its their phones that can

looks great
i think S2 is coming out in sep2011

this is an amazing phone, can't wait for official us launch!

Can someone spot any differences between that phone and HTC Inspire?

Wait the att version isnt going to have the home button?? wtf man

I know, tell me about it. I thought it was about damn time we get a good android phone that isn't fitted with the norm. But word on the grape vine is that AT&T is holding out till september or so, and they are going to slap a dual 1.4 ghz cpu in it I have a tilt 2, and have been waiting to upgrade to this beast for 4 months already, and the thought of having to wait another 2-3 months seems almost unbearable. It's almost making me give in and get the thrill 4g... almost anyways

iPhone 5 faster than Galaxy S3? LOL GTFIH!

Going based off the 1640 score that Anandtech got with the A6 chip. I was having beers last night when I bought the benchmark app and ran it myself. First test.

I was confused at first since the A6 supposedly outperformed the quadcore gs3. So I ran it again and...
After working a 13 hour shift with no lunch my gs3 still outperformed the phone that made my day a living hell. GS3 best phone in the market hands down.
Synergy Rom GS3 here. Reps to all GS3 owners.

few points.
First, this is an apple vs samsung thing, and should not have its own thread.
Second, you don't have a quad-core processor
Third, you don't really think any iphone users out there are really going to care, do you? Nobody has ever purchased an iphone to be on the cutting edge of technology.

I think anyone who buys an iPhone is mad anyways.... You are in a CLOSED ecosystem and you can't do **** with an iPhone unless your connected to iTunes and even then the stuff you purchase is not really yours....? iPhone 5 is a well made and great device but your buying into a LOCKED down OS platform and that I cannot do.... I have an iPad 3 for my daughter and that is only cause it is more "kid" friendly, so if you want a kid friendly phone then get an iPhone 5 and be like EVERYONE else that has the same damn icons and os as the first generation iPhone... LOL

Quad core in OP, dual core in subsequent post.
Don't be sad that you have a phone nobody is going to oogle over anymore because of a new iphone release. Sure, it may not be cutting edge technology, but not a single iphone user is going to be impressed that your phone has 23 app points more processing power than their phone. I have a gs3 because it fits my needs, and others have iphones because it suits them. No reason to be butthurt enough to make a thread about it.
Besides, real men don't measure their manliness by the phone in their pocket, didn't you get the memo?
MFW 0/10 asks me if I'm mad
MFW somebody tries to troll me using 2 seperate accounts
Go back to 4chan, this clearly isn't the place for you.

ehh the android customization VS apple simplicity argument has been done to death, and it never proves anything.
Apple people buy apple products for simplicity or name brand awareness, and they're happy
Android people buy android for function and a sense of self fulfillment, and they're happy
People in the middle buy whatever seems cool and don't care what either have to offer, because they both get the job done and meet their simplistic needs, and they're happy
The whole grass is greener on my side debate is pure opinion, and as long as you're happy with what you have there's no issue. I can imagine an argument in your household though one day!
Daughter: I'm 17 why can't I go on dates, I'm mature enough!
Dad: Why don't you prove your maturity by doing your homework, cleaning your room, and using an adult operating system!

I want to find this guy....

I was reading a CNN article on how Google play is quickly catching up to the Apple App store.
In the comments is this douche bag..
What??? Yes there are more Android phones then iPhones, but it is a well known fact that iOS accounts for more web traffic than Android. Why is this? Because most Android users dont have a job and eat hot pockets in the mothers basement. Android users in general do not have credit cards and thus tend to look for free stuff. This is why, despite being the majority, a developer cannot make any money. This will not end unelss Google starts modeling their store after the Apple App store. Plus, if you remove all the crap like wallpaper, sound bites and pirated apps, you are probably left with under 200,000 apps.

I think people who buy the iPhone know exactly why they buy it. Quality build, unmatched ecosystem and excellent customer service are a few. Why buy the cheap knock off when you can get the real deal.
Lets face the truth, Android users are not the brightest in the bunch. Apple is sells hardware/software, Google sells advertisement space, this is how each makes their money. Android users have chosen to give up their personal data in exchange in order to have choice. The choice they are making is which phone do I want to use in order to give up my personal data.

What difference does it make, Samsung phones look like iPhones. How else do you expect Samsung to comepete. Build a phone that looks like an iPhone and the Droidtards will then choose to buy it because they now have the best knockoff of an iPhone available. Its really that simple.

" At least with Android, I have a choice in what's important to me, whether that be hardware types or software"
yea, on the hardware side, you have a choice of [email protected] and heap o' junk. Nice choices. On the software side, you have a choice between amature crapware and second rate copies.
Do you know why developers develop for iPhone first and Android second, if at all? Its because developers look at the Android ecosystem and see nothing but a mess. You cant even install ICS, you think you have a choice? Are you kidding me? You do not have a choice. I have the choice with an iPhone because I can choose to run the best mobile software I want at anytime, you can't run top of the line software and your hardware was probably once touted as an iPhone killer.

It isn't written very well. Alot of sentences that don't make sense and alot of words that are spelled wrong. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this is either a kid or uneducated idiot. Either way, I don't think anyone will even remotely take them serious. Funny tsf though, it is amazing how close minded some people are.....

Recognize a troll for what he is. He's just looking for an argument...

Another iFool, he obviously is very misinformed. The iPhone 5 is a complete fail on apples part. Wife wanted to upgrade her iPhone 4 to the 5 and changed her mind after looking at my GS3. Apple users can sugar coat all they want, in the end, I'd take open source any day.
Samsung Galaxy S3

This is unneeded locked.

[Q] This may sound tres "conspiracy theory-ist", BUT ...

Suddenly and without warning today ... this hypothesis struck me and started to develop (much like an impending thunderstorm). I wonder: What if somehow Apple managed to coerce AT&T into sabotaging the ICS release with the intent of deflating Samsung, just in case their lawsuit didn't work out? In return, AT&T would be thrown a handful of Apple exclusives (since they were so bent out of shape about Apple cheating on them first with Verizon then Sprint; ironically about the same time that the Android lineup REALLY improved at AT&T). Naturally, greedy AT&T would jump at the chance to be Apple's main (excuse me) ***** one more time, right?
I guess this is coming from a place of substantial anger. I'm FURIOUS that the phone I LOVED so much for seven months was basically taken away from me. And there is not a SINGLE official word from either Samsung or AT&T about what I can do about it. So I suppose I can bring the thing back to Best Buy, AGAIN, and recieve another REFURBISHED edition (one that's only 300 IMEI numbers up from the original one), but honestly, I don't have the time or desire to rebuild the damn thing one more time (and then beg the guy at Android Assistant to please let me not have to pay again ... etc. etc. etc.)
I know ... I'm delving deeeeeeep into conspiracy theorism and perhaps I shouldn't play so many video games. BUT, maybe ............ anybody think it makes sense?
PS Thanks for keeping this great and informative site running. It serves as such an amazing resource. The amount of knowledge I've picked up here is invaluable.

WOW. Really?? My phones running great on AOKP JB. Sounds more like user error than a multi-business conspiracy.

All it does is void your warranty. Since it was probably already void for who knows why else among the array of things that could void your warranty, the OP's argument is null and void, and similarly a useless waste of space.

That was sweet! ALL HAIL GRAMMAR NAZI! As far as the 'discussion' goes, it should make no difference to you who releases what and when. As it was pointed out, maybe you are missing the point of this arena. Whether you develop, tinker, or just screw around with your phone, the point is this: collectively, we as a group could not care less what the carriers or even manufacturers provide for us in the way of OS updates. We seek out our own, by way of skilled and knowledgeable people who aren't satisfied with the bloatware infested offerings given to us long after the fact. As a member of this forum, you are EXPECTED to have the desire to learn how to make your own way in the android world, albeit with the help of others most of the time.This is a development and learning forum. Regardless of the trolling and/or occasional flaming for the sub-genius among us, you need to want to learn, not wait on the conglomerates to dole out what they want to....my penny and a half.

Why does samsung have to be a bunch of dkheads!!!!

Why Dont they release One phone for ALL This is one downfall of these money hungry FKRS... Korea apparently get the 1.8ghz clocked Octa core WITH LTE ---- WHY CANT WE ALL GET THIS ONE, WHATS THERE FKN PROBLEM.. MTHR-BEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!!!!... Most other countries will get the I9505 snapdragon and other countries will get the I9500, And here is where is becomes REAL stupid... 60-70% of sites say the I9500 will come only in 3G 30-40% say it can support LTE in some countries.
Some ridiculous news I heard
Samsung did not have enough parts, so they used the S600 to fufill there stock.
Some developers can unlock the i9500 so they it works on LTE
The LTE exynos is bad on battery ( BS ) I own the I9305 its the SAME BATTERY LIFE as the I9300 I owned them both, I DIDNT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE
ITS 2013 EVERYPHONE SHOULD COME WITH 4G STANDARD!!!!!!!!
Guys Is the S4 I9500 going to support LTE or not and why are so many places saying it can and and so many saying no... If someone knows anything, do you know what LTE bands it will be

Surprised to see a senior member post this. You can have your exynos octa. I'll take my superior gpu and be on my way

Wow.... switch to decaf?

Sorry I just snapped it.... LOL
I really dont care if its Octa or Quad or what ever.. Why do they need more then one variant... I wasnt happy about the I9305 but I said ahh maybe they made a mistake and realized we should of brought out all the phones with LTE and 2gb ram.... But no it happens again... Ah well life goes on Rant over...
So really is the I9500 LTE or not... And why are there so many places saying it is and vice versa.. Anyone have it in there hands already that actually know?

There's so much ignorance in the OP... and I don't mean that to be disrespectful.
Samsung is one of the only companies that is capable of doing such a giant world wide launch in every country producing millions and millions of HIGH END phones for everyone at once.
No one is capable of doing this, not Apple or HTC.
Apple slowly releases the iPhone out in regions. HTC doesn't sell as well as Samsung does.
Look at it at a business standpoint. That's all I can say.

I guess you will like it if you buy a phone and then 3 months later they release the same version but enhanced. Well I myself would rather them releasing that enhanced one 1st then 1 year later another enhanced one, but that's just me. < and BTW I don't doubt samsung is a capable company, I just don't believe that they couldn't create one variant for all, its all money making ajendas

I guess you will like it if you buy a phone and then 3 months later they release the same version but enhanced. Well I myself would rather them releasing that enhanced one 1st then 1 year later another enhanced one, but that's just me. < and BTW I don't doubt samsung is a capable company, I just don't believe that they couldn't create one variant for all, its all money making ajendas
Rant out..

But haven't you seen the benchmarks? They are nearly identical in performance. One isn't going to outperform the other by a noticeable margin. And if there are regions without LTE, then why put LTE chips in those phones? Even if a LTE chip cost $1, that's a few millions of dollars that add up in these regions. That could cut cost on your next TV, Phone or samsung designed toilet.
My i9300 outperforms my GF's i747 in benchmarks but there's nothing I've ever done that her phone couldn't do.
I'll just leave it at this. You're possibly one out of a million consumer that feels this way. The other consumers probably don't care and will never notice the benchmark differences. They will have a phone that functions like another SGS4.
In a research study, people were blindfolded when drinking various water bottles. Most of them chose plain American tap water as the best tasting water.
I do hope that one day Samsung is capable of just making 1 phone for development reasons. But if this allows me to enjoy a SGS at a great price optimized for my region and I don't have to wait 6 months like I did with my ATT Captivate I'm happy!

I believe it's because of fulfillment reasons. They don't have enough initial capacity to produce enough handsets worldwide.

Sorry I just snapped it.... LOL
I really dont care if its Octa or Quad or what ever.. Why do they need more then one variant... I wasnt happy about the I9305 but I said ahh maybe they made a mistake and realized we should of brought out all the phones with LTE and 2gb ram.... But no it happens again... Ah well life goes on Rant over...
So really is the I9500 LTE or not... And why are there so many places saying it is and vice versa.. Anyone have it in there hands already that actually know?

Maybe the OP needs to unregister from XDA and start enjoying life a bit more.
The only fail by Sammy is that they are not using SD600 in all their S4's.
