[/B]Samsung is preparing to release the Galaxy S2 at last! We give you the latest on the Attain, Within, Function and Hercules inside.
Shin Jong-kyun, President of Samsung Mobile Business and Digital Imaging, told a Korean newspaper this week that the Galaxy S2 will be launched in the U.S. market sometime in August. While Samsung has released several new Android smartphones in recent months, such as the Droid Charge for Verizon and Infuse 4G for AT&T, the new flagship we've all been waiting has only appeared in leaks and rumors. The Galaxy S2 is by far the most feature-rich smartphone Samsung has come up with to date, and is expected to be available on several carriers.
Samsung Attain for AT&T
Ever since the Samsung Attain appeared on Samsung's official Facebook page in early June, it's basically just been a matter of time before we would see an official release. Last year's Captivate shined like a true star a year ago, and the Attain is expected to be a worthy successor. TouchWIZ 4 atop Android 2.3 Gingerbread is the name of the game for the Attain, coupled with a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, 4G HSPA+ connectivity, dual-core processor and 1GB RAM. In other words, it'll pretty much challenge the ATRIX 4G by Motorola directly, and could eventually give the iPhone 5 a hard time.
Samsung Within for Sprint
A hands-on photo of what is expected to be the Samsung Within for Sprint appeared only a few days ago. This version is specifically said to offer Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, the recently released version that enables Google Talk video chats via Sprint's 4G network. The Within is also expected to offer integrated Google Voice and Google Wallet services. Like the Attain, it's also expected to offer a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, 8-megapixel rear-facing and 2-megapixel front-facing cameras, as well as being packed with power under the hood in true Galaxy S2-grade style.
Samsung Function for Verizon
When Verizon introduced the Fascinate last fall, it instantly became a top-seller courtesy of its social networking focus. The follow-up, the Continuum, took the concept even further. However, the upcoming Samsung Function is expected to not only embrace the social networking crowd, but also business users. The Function has been equipped with Stealth MMXI technology, and is expected to take on the Droid Bionic in the "über-smartphone with 4G LTE connectivity" category this fall. Who the heck needs the 3G-only Verizon iPhone 5, anyway.
Samsung Hercules for T-Mobile
The Samsung Vibrant ruled T-Mobile's HSPA network last year, and the Samsung Hercules aims to rule the carrier's HSPA+ network this year, promising theoretical speeds of 42Mbps downlink and 6 Mbps uplink. While details of the Hercules are scarce, TmoNews recently reported that it is slated for release in late September. We imagine that's also when the above-mentioned Function for Verizon will appear, as they'll probably not all be released simultaneously. Interestingly, TmoNews has heard that it may get a 4.5-inch screen as opposed to the 4.3-inch screen found in the original Galaxy S2.
Im ready now.
It's about time we get this Beautiful Beast. I will be getting this and the Hercules when it's released in September.
I will eagerly await to see what the Great Developers come up with for these. I may even toss in a few requests after I see what they can and can not do.
WooHoo
That makes 2 of us LOL, I been waiting (it seems forever), for this monster too. I still have a few friends at AT&T. (used to work there), and one is a manager at store, so maybe get in on first batch hehe. good luck !

My birthday is also in August, but I'm in the middle of a contract right now, so I highly doubt I'll be picking up the Attain anytime soon. I still love my Captivate, even if the battery life kinda sucks on any ROM but completely stock.
Excited for rogers to release something to rival the sgs2 for me to warrant me to get rid of my cappy.
If sgs II came out in june-july i would have already bought it
However im just gonna wait for android 4.0. now. Captivate is still a decent phone

My two cappys are GREAT PHONES. One with CM7 perfection and the other with either the i897 Gingerbread or right now Apex 8.2 and I Love them Both. The ONLY phone I will TRADE UP for is the SGS2. I just tested my cappy cm7 against the Atrix 4G yesterday at the ATT store and my cappy was faster using speedtest than the atrix 4g side by side. Just barely beat it in upload and download speeds but it DID. So to me the SGS2 should BLOW it away. I also found out that I available for my next upgrade on August 31st. So HOPEFULLY lime my Cappy's 1007 builds it will be the second builds without the issues of the first builds

I can't wait. I love my Captivate with Pheonix unleashed, but the Galaxy S II is the ultimate sounding phone. I would actually use the HDMI out alot, the front cam not so much.

my birthday is in august as well. august ftw!
I wouldn't dream of being one of the first in line for one. After the horrible initial release and ensuing support from Samsung on the Galaxy S they have a long way to go to prove to me I should "upgrade". They obviously do not care if they rush out flawed hardware and when they do there is absolutely no effort to make things work properly. I'm mainly talking about the GPS issues but others as well. If I am buying into a device that is supposed to showcase a "location aware" OS then I sure would like it if my device had some clue where I was at. It doesn't even get the state I'm in correct a lot of the time, if it tells me where I'm at at all! I'm eligible for an upgrade in 2 months and my wife's HTC Inspire seems to be fairly dependable. I know for one thing the speed sure makes my Captivate look like decades old technology. If Samsung had shown any loyalty to us early Galaxy owners then I might feel a little loyalty back. Since they care about the almighty dollar more than they care about the customer then I will respond likewise. If HTC, which I've had HUGE success with in the past, offers me a good deal I'll happily jump ship from Samsung.
Yea it's going to be extremely hard for me to buy another carrier branded handset. Unlocked is the way to go. Glad they are finally getting the SGS2 out in the US though.

If I had the funds, and that is exactly how I would go. Unfortunately I can't pay an excess of 500 dollars, so I would need a carrier subsidized phone.

Buy a phone on contract (iPhone is good for this purpose) and sell it full price then buy the phone you want.
Support issues become fishy though.
I certainly hope they fixed the gps on the new release. I have been majorly disappointed in the gps functionality of the captivate.

Yea. I'd be worried about that because I have insurance on my phone and use at least once or twice during a phones contract period due to my carelessness. Although I think they might still honor a insurance claim, I'm almost sure they won't do a warranty claim from those circumstances.

Loving my cappy still, but wish it had a forward facing camera and a flash. The GPS is better than it used to be due to some tweaks here and there. I also just installed the Telenav free version for the vibrant 4g and going to give it a jog this week on a road trip to see how it does.
Apex 8.2 w/Dark Core 2.9 & Tegrak OC to 1.2ghz
Wait for it
Sell your cappy off ebay, buy SGSII. 700-200=+500. Get ready to cough up some ca$h.
I'll be getting it for sure. I currently have the captivate, infuse and inspire, I bought the inspire off craigslist for $200 and gave it to my gf. Her upgrade is up in August so she'll probably buy the gs2 and ill see captivate and inspire for $500 I hope and pick up the galaxy.

I'm thinking of selling my Nexus S early so I can best price possible.. Do you think the price for an used Nexus S will drop once Nexus Prime is announced (not launched)?
I bought it off contract so I'm not locked into any contracts. Will they be available for T-Mobile at launch or only Verizon (as rumored by some)?
Do you think it will be worth it to upgrade?
I for one will be jumping ship on the Nexus line. You can get better hardware and AOSP on other devices so why buy a rebranded GS or GS2?

I'll pick it up - just have to decide on which carrier (we'll see what's announced on Oct 11th).
As far as Sprint costumers goes we are out of luck, since BB is practically giving the NS4G away. I guess if someone needed a phone but didn't. Have an upgrade I could possibly get at least $200 for it but I just don't know. I tell you what my mother in law just got the Epic 4g touch and that is a nice piece of hardware, had me thinking about a change for a minute.

I'm waiting on it, picked this nexus s up brand new for only 200. have offer to sell at 260 , and go back to my blackberry for awhile till the prime comes out. If Verizon release only, probably just hold onto to this for awhile with the ics is.

I would have but I had no idea the Nexus Prime would be coming out this year. Just got my Nexus S over the summer . Oh well it's still a great phone either way and I'm assuming the Nexus Prime will be great as well seeing that Samsung is manufacturing it again .
hands down on AT&T version
The rumor is that at time of release, Prime will be only on Verizon. If that is the case I will happily enjoy the tasty Ice Cream Sandwich on my Nexus S
If it is on AT&T or T-Mobile, I will probably get it.
If it comes out on sprint the week is released or around october then yes hopefully the day after its announced on sprint as a 17 bday present as well as a new ps3 : D you know this.counts if it has those rumored specs especially 720p screen lol
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
I'll stay with the Nexus S for the time being, just in case I don't happen to like the Ice Cream Sandwich update........ I'm pretty sure I'm gonna love it but you never know!
If I decide to get one, it won't be for another 6 months at least!

I get your logic I have some points:
I believe Google does a good job of customizing this specifically for us geeks that want a pure android experience.
Google handpicks the best phone they can find to be a Nexus phone. I think Google knows a thing or two about Android phones and if Google says this phone is worthy of carrying their Nexus name then its good enough for me.
Not all phones have an ASOP Rom available. I tried the Bionic out and couldn't find a pure ASOP rom for it. Not to mention the screen was aweful.
Nexus devices get updates much much faster than carrier branded devices.
I was trying to figure out battery life the other day but looking at the GS2 specs after being disappointed to see the GS2 specs I decided to compare the GS1 (Captivate, Vibrant) specs to the Nexus S. To make sure that the Nexus and Galaxy being the same hardware meant the same battery life. The Nexus S has twice the battery life for the same battery. It seems unlikely that the skin alone is cutting the battery life in half. There has to be something else about the Nexus devices that make the battery so much more efficient.
Go to Phonearena[dot]com and compare the handsets for yourself. I personally can't wait to get my hands on the Prime (Galaxy Nexus or whatever they all it).
waiting for the AWS version
Dont forget....in 5 months from now THE LAUNCH of GS3...
it's always a step ladder game
SGS# will always be the flagship
then a new version of Nexus # will always follow behind with the stuff of the previous SGS# and a couple of new extra, and new OS
it's a very good strategy by Samsung, to recycle the left over parts from mass producing SGS#
I will have the Nexus Prime in my pocket the HOUR it launches for Verizon. Ah, the joys of working for Big Red...indirectly, of course...
Is T-Mobile's 4G coverage much better than 3G?
My 3G is horrible. I get 'emergency call only' in some of my classes, while other carriers' phone gets some bars.
I sure hope that the specs in the updated section is true.
- dual-core 1.5GHz Exynos
- dual-core PowerVR SGX543MP2
- 8 megapixels camera
- 2,050mAh battery
If it is true, I would definitely get it!! As for the old specs, I don't mind the TI processor, but 5MP back cam and 1.3MP front cam is so Galaxy S1.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/06/samsung-galaxy-nexus-specs-leak-headed-to-verizon-as-an-exclusi/
I would love to...but no Staying with my Nexus S for now.
I'd get it off contract because I'm crazy and illogical. But the Galaxy S II looks great, even if ATT shrunk the screen. I know the Nexus Prime is coming out soon, but I am iffy on it. All of the previous Nexus's seemed to fizzle out quickly or something, though I know none were ever made by the current Samsung beast company.
I guess I should wait for that announcement. A curved screen isn't weird, is it?
Att didn't shrink the screen. Their version, the I777, is the closest to the original S2. The other carriers mess with their versions more.
I plan on waiting for the Nexus Prime. I'm pretty sure it's going to set the new standard for smart phones in 2012.
Ya I'm kinda in the same boat. But the important thing is whether the nexus it galaxy will have the most active community because for me that is really what made my phone. Also I saw somewhere that Samsung is coming out with 1.5ghz chips for their phones in the spring and you may wanna wait for that

I'll bleed for S ll
I want phone off contract but don't want to derail budget. Realized if I donate blood that's sixty to seventy dollars a week..
i'm waiting to see about the prime. some rumours are it will be CDMA/Verizon. besides, it's only tuesday
I would wait for not necessarily the prime but a phone with:
- 720p screen
- Quad Core cpu (Kal-El hopefully because I am sick of looking at games like shadowgun and I cannot play. I know there is chainfire3d but it does not work for all games)
Nexus Prime sounds perty nice, but looks like it may be a Verizon exclusive for now.
I was REALLY looking forward to the S II on AT&T, but it's taken so long to get here that at this point I'm thinking of holding off for the Galaxy Note (possibly early 2012). It may to big for some but I like the S pen thing and will be using it for business.
PLayes with the S II yesterday for a few minutes. It was nice and my captivate is getting long in the tooth... Tempting, but I will likely wait (for the Note).
As for waiting for the Nexus Prime, you may have a bit of a wait if indeed it starts out as a Verizon exclusive.
The joy and bane of android phones is that they self-obsolete themselves every 6 months. There will ALWAYS be a better phone that is just past the corner. The android phone scene is advancing faster than any other hardware wise.
I went with the Thrill: dual core, dual channel RAM, 3D screen, HDMI output (cable included), excellent build quality, same "4"G, plus its $20 from Walmart online on contract. In many ways its even or outspecs the galaxy s 2, but much softer on the wallet. I just couldn't rationalize paying an extra $100+ just to get more choice in custom ROMs.

I'm sorry but I think the sgs 2 is worth it because of the screen power and community resources

Well, I just read that an AT&T flavored Nexus Prime has hit the FCC. So we might indeed be getting this 4.0 device.
Still the Galaxy Note has the feature set I'm really after.

wow
Details have emerged on a follow-up to Samsung's brilliant Galaxy S2 smart phone. Inventively dubbed the Galaxy S3, it could pack a 4.6-inch screen and a 1.8GHz processor.
Specs of the new phone appear to have been leaked to Android site Phandroid, as part of what is reportedly one slide from an internal Samsung Mobile presentation. But unlike most Powerpoint affairs, this presentation is actually rather interesting, as it shows off what could be Samsung's newest flagship phone.
Take this with a pinch of salt, but the slide lists a stonkingly powerful 12-megapixel camera and 2GB of RAM to boot. As if that wasn't enough, it looks like the S3 could have a different shape, ditching the S2's squarish look in favour of something a little more rounded at the top and bottom. Phandroid's sources reckon it'll be thinner than the S2 to boot.
The five tray icons on the front of the blurry S3 graphic would also indicate that it will run Ice Cream Sandwich, the new version of Android that was supposed to be launched today, but has been postponed as a mark of respect for the late Steve Jobs.
While these details on the S3 appear we're still waiting on another Samsung effort, the Galaxy Nexus, which is going to be Google's newest flagship phone following the Nexus S, and the first mobile running Ice Cream Sandwich.
We'll be keeping an eye out for more Galaxy S3 news -- if more concrete evidence appears hinting that it will be out fairly soon, that could be reason to not buy the Galaxy Nexus, and to wait for the S3 instead.
Exciting times for mobiles, let us know what you think in the comments, or on our Facebook page.

Yep. Specs sheet from GSMArena,
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_iii-4238.php
Don't how long this stupidity of attaching a LED Flash with a 12 MP Camera will go on!
not to sure about the design to be honest....and what about quadcore chips..and apologies if i am wrong but they are using the same chip as s2? what about the kal-el chipset aint that suppose to be more powerful? either way il be waiting for that as my next upgrade cause i love the s2 and only fair to get the next galaxy beauty..
Obviously it's great to see another amazing phone to be launched but i cant help thinking Samsung are releasing too many phones too soon, how is the average man going to afford another expensive smartphone only months after buying a GSII and because of this sales of this new phone wont probably be as good as the GSII assuming this leaked information is correct and this will be available the end of 2011, if i were Samsung i would wait until at least March 2012 before launching this.
Then your Samsung won't be stayed as the second largest manufacturer in the world! Besides these phones are not meant for the average customers dude!
However I too hate the idea of releasing too many phones in a short period of time. That's why I like Apple.

Given the economic climate even the middle classes and "posh people" are suffering it's not just working class people therefore i believe sales will suffer if they release too many phones over a short period of time.
Your both wrong here..Galaxy s2 think was released back in May, June i think...The next S3 probably will be unveiled at barcelona event in february march and with a release couple of months after...so as for flagship phones they do release one a year but i do agree that they release alot of handsets...but dont forget the s2 variants are released in the US are basically the same as ours over here...oh they have a 1.5ghz processor..just overclock the one you have and bam you have the same....what is samsung doing wrong is not releasing the phone globally at the same time everywere...thats were they are doing wrong i think
Yeah it was early May i think when the GSII was released i got mine in June i was trying to sell my HD2 for ages first to part fund the GSII purchase dealing with muppets and scammers on eBay and Gumtree (never again) but it would be good if Samsung waited until at least early next year before releasing this new dog and bone.

Nobody really knows if it is real. But if it is real, it gives 32GB sd supprt and that's nice And a big screen, maybe to big?
This looks awesome. Hope Verizon gets it.
It seems too big screen...
my friend is huge Samsung fan - mainly all the devices at his home are Samsung (starting from TV, Fridge, Microwave etc) - also phone eventually.
Used for a year Galaxy S - i said from the beginning that's it's crappy phone (case wise) and now just a week ago bought Galaxy S2. Also took a sneak peak and I rather would say that's it a device not phone anymore.
S 4.0" screen was OK, now 4.3" on S2 is too huge IMHO. HTC Desire HD with 4.3 is quite a smaller.
Now 4.6 is hilarious ok specs are good, but it's not a phone anymore

ATT customers are going to be so freaking confused with all the different models of Galaxy S2 available in store and online
I wish Samsung would spend more time taking care of it's current customers by pushing ICS. I know it's about making money but seriously, it's current customer base needs to be happy too. Three Galaxy S models on AT&T. That's just retarded and seems like overkill.
ATT gets so much love from smartphone manufacturers and they are the absolute WORST carrier EVER! EVER! When I was switching carriers I had them for less than a week and it was the worst experience I've had owning a phone since I was on Metro PCS many, many moons ago.
I had an average of 3 dropped calls per day, and they completely f*cked up my very first bill. Overcharging me for crap I did not order. Three phone calls and three visits to the ATT store and they still could not get it right. The third trip was to return everything and tell them where they can stick it, and they are STILL trying to charge me for a month's use when I didn't even have the phone 5 days.
I don't understand why they get so many good phones. It's irritating!
Damn, if I had AT&T and was one of the people to get the first SGS2 I would be BEYOND mad. You buy the latest and greatest for it to be at least relevant for 5-6 months before something else comes out, main reason why I sold my sensation once the Amaze was announced.
i wonder how many people Samsung and Motorola just pissed off with these devices....i mean seriously....Droid Razr Maxx??? Razr just frickin released...although another Skyrocket device should mean another phone where we can use their development, correct?
and yea, the skyrocket is a nice device (and the new one) but id honestly love a device with the Exynos, so if it were me, id probably get the first version

Android is out of control. New phones monthly and lack of support for older phones. Google seems to not care. What's even worst is all these phones all run gingerbread. You buy the newest and greatest and you get last years software.

Personally, the Snapdragon has left a sour taste. Maybe its TouchWiz's fault. Thankfully the SkyRocket, the HD and the Note are all Snapdragon - pushing more pixels with the same CPU = good luck with that. Ergo, not that disappointed.
