You can forget the rumored “Attain” branding, because AT&T is taking the same tack as T-Mobile on this one and leaving the name of its own Samsung Galaxy S II untouched. As with its counterparts on T-Mobile and Sprint, AT&T’s version of the S II features an 8-megapixel autofocus rear camera with flash and 1080p video capture, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, and the latest generation of TouchWiz atop Android 2.3. What’s different here, though, is that AT&T opted for a 4.3-inch version of the lauded Super AMOLED Plus display — the same as Samsung’s European S II variants — whereas Sprint and T-Mobile are both using a 4.5-inch component. Interestingly, AT&T’s is also the thinnest, so they claim: 8.89mm, versus Sprint’s 0.38 inches (9.65mm). T-Mobile hasn’t specified their dimensions just yet.
As for the processor, Samsung’s proud of this one: they’re using a homegrown Exynos dual-core model clocked at 1.2GHz. Some other versions of the S II have used a Tegra 2 — and granted, the Tegra 2 is no slouch in its own right, but we’re told to expect some truly magnificent performance on this model. Look for it to land on September 18th with pricing to be announced later.
Stay tuned for hands-on impressions in the next few minutes!
