Still waiting for your Samsung Galaxy S II, America? Well, maybe it’s time for a roadtrip because us Canadians can pick one up today from Bell (or its subsidiary Virgin) for $169.95 on a three-year contract or $599.95 up front.
The Samsung Galaxy S II is an impressive little number, boasting a 4.3-inch 480 x 800 display, 8 megapixel camera with LED flash and 1080p video recording, dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n with DLNA home media sharing and mobile hotspot support, GPS, and 21 Mbps HSPA 3G connectivity. It runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread with some light Samsung customizations through TouchWiz. We’ve got a full review over here if you want to take a closer look.
As someone on the periphery of the Android world, I find it pretty easy to mix up high-end Android hardware, if only because of the similar specs and form factors across the board, but shy of an equivalent 4G handset, the Galaxy S II looks like it will be the king of the hill for the next little while. Are there any Android handsets you’re looking forward to more than this one? Canadians, if you’re looking for a top-notch Android phone, you can pick up the Samsung Galaxy S II in Bell’s online store.
