Samsung Galaxy S II Plus Picture Leaked

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 12:26 AM PDT


With the Galaxy Note II hype at its max, no one is thinking about any other Samsung product right now, but they should, since there’s at least one new interesting model to have a glance at. I’m talking about the Samsung Galaxy S II Plus, pictured below, courtesy of a leak from Chilean carrier VTR.

They’ve posted information and pics of the new phone on their site ahead of any form of launch from Samsung. The device looks very much like the T-Mobile version of the Galaxy S II (T989) and also has similar specs. We’re dealing with a handset that packs a 4.52 inch display, with a 800 x 480 pixel resolution and Super AMOLED Plus technology. Inside there’s a 1.5 GHz dual core CPU, 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage, as well as a microSD card slot and an 8 megapixel camera at the back.

Galaxy S II Plus is rumored to be running Android 4.0 ICS, which the T989 did not. Interestingly enough, VTR posted a link to the T-Mobile page of the T989 Galaxy S II, so this is in fact a rebranded version of the T989 for the international market. Not sure if this model is worth the Plus name, since aside from the bigger display it doesn’t have anything extra…

HTC J Coming to Taiwan, Maybe Other Markets As Well

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 12:17 AM PDT


The HTC J was announced back in May and launched in Japan, but at the time it seemed like an unique version meant for this country alone. Now it appears, according to ePrice, that HTC is launching the handset in Taiwan, too and that’s happening soon. It would be expected that HTC performed such a launch, since Taiwan is its homeland, after all.

HTC J resembles the One S quite a bit, aside from being thicker. It also has similar specs, that include Android 4.0 ICS, Sense 4.0, a 4.3 inch qHD display, Beats Audio technology and a 1.5 GHz dual core processor. There’s also an 8 megapixel camera on board and 1 GB of RAM. HTC J will come to Taiwan in 3 color versions, like it happened in Japan and I expect to see this model is other countries as well, although there’s no official news about that.

The J unit was sold on KDDI in Japan starting May 25th and it came with support for WiMax, Japanese mobile wallet services, mobile TV and an infrared port. Not sure if these features will be kept in the Taiwanese version. In case you’re working, the dual core CPU inside is the famous Snapdragon S4, so performance is a sure thing here.
