Samsung has taken the Samsung Galaxy S II,
tossed in an updated build of Android, some new features from the Samsung
Galaxy S III, and called the phone the Samsung Galaxy S II Plus. The phone has
just launched in Taiwan as the GT-I9105 vs. the GT-I9100 for the original
model. Android 4.1.2 is driving the handset which comes with the Nature UX UI.
This adds Pop Up Play, allowing you to watch video over other tasks, and Smart
Stay. This feature uses the front-facing camera to check to see if you are
still awake so that the screen stays on until you fall asleep.
The Samsung Galaxy S II Plus is priced at
13,900 TWD or about $474 USD. Samsung has released the blue model now with the
white version coming next month. Right now, the device is available just in
Taiwan, but we'd be surprised if it isn't rolled out to other countries
shortly.
The handset is equipped with a 4.3 inch Super
AMOLED Plus display, and with WVGA resolution, the pixel density works out to
217ppi. A dual-core 1.2GHz Broadcom processor is under the hood and 1GB of RAM
is on board. The phone comes with 8GB of native storage that can be expanded
with the 64GB capacity microSD slot and it is all powered with a 1650mAh cell.
Around back, you'll find the 8MP camera that captures video in 1080p at 30fps,
and in front is the 2MP shooter for self-portraits and video chats.
