Samsung Galaxy S II. A serious competitor of iPhone 4 and the upcoming iPhone 4S.
All tech gadgets blogs and websites gave this smartphone rave reviews and some even says that it’s better than iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
Here’s an official 12 minutes++ video from Samsung that gives you a demo on what Samsung Galaxy S II can offer. One thing to note is the Kies Air feature. It turns your Samsung Galaxy S II into a web server where you can manage your media files through an interface in your computer’s Internet browser.
After reading some of the reviews of Samsung Galaxy S II in the Internet, I am so tempted to get it since it might be coming to Malaysia sooner than iPhone 4S.
When will Samsung Galaxy S 2 comes to Malaysia? How much will Samsung Galaxy S II be priced in Malaysia?
A thing to note is that Samsung has delayed Singapore’s Samsung Galaxy S II April due to the upgrade of the processor. No official launch date and official pricing for Singapore’s Samsung Galaxy S II after the delay. Rumored price for Singapore’s Galaxy S II is around S$1000 – S$1200.
It’s rumored that Samsung Galaxy S II will come to Malaysian somewhere end of May or somewhere in June 2011. The price should range from RM2,200-RM2,600. More update will come. Stay tuned!
