Samsung Galaxy S II only went on sale in the US and Europe recently, and now there are reports that Samsung are working on a faster version of the S II which may launch in September.
The Samsung Galaxy S II features a dual core 1.2GHz processor, but now there is a possibility that Samsung may launch a Galaxy S II with a dual core 1.4GHz processor and 1GB of RAM with Android 2.3.4.
Potential Upgrades and Enhancements
The apparent reason behind this is so that the new Galaxy S II can take on the Apple iPhone 5 which is also reported to launch in September, and considering Samsung’s and Apple recent legal battles who knows what Samsung are up to. The competition between these two tech giants has always been fierce, and it seems Samsung is keen on ensuring they stay ahead in the race by offering a more powerful device.
The rumored upgrade from a 1.2GHz to a 1.4GHz dual-core processor might seem incremental, but it could significantly enhance the phone’s performance, especially for power users who run multiple applications simultaneously or engage in resource-intensive tasks like gaming and video editing. Additionally, the inclusion of 1GB of RAM would ensure smoother multitasking and better overall performance.
Market Strategy and Consumer Expectations
Personally, I think it is unlikely that Samsung would launch a faster Galaxy S II so close to the release of the original Galaxy S II, but you never know. The tech industry is known for its rapid advancements and unexpected releases. If Samsung does decide to launch this upgraded version, it could be a strategic move to capture more market share and attract consumers who are always looking for the latest and greatest technology.
Moreover, the timing of this potential release is interesting. Launching a new, faster version of the Galaxy S II in September would position Samsung to directly compete with the anticipated release of the iPhone 5. This could sway potential iPhone buyers who might be considering switching to Android, especially if the new Galaxy S II offers superior specifications.
As soon as we get some more information, we will let you guys know. The tech community is buzzing with anticipation, and many are eager to see how this potential upgrade will stack up against the competition.
