Samsung Galaxy S Plus Will Feature Gingerbread, 1.4GHz Processor

47

Ok, Samsung, how many different Galaxy S variants can you REALLY make? Not enough, apparently, as the folks at Samsung Hub have learned that the Korean manufacturer is set to introduce a Samsung Galaxy S Plus. It’s said that this device’s design will be similar to that of the original Galaxy S but will have a metallic back plate instead of a plastic one. (Yes, I wish their earlier models would have gotten that kind of love, too.)

Other details include a 1.4GHz processor (no word on which chipset exactly), Android 2.3 (we’ll assume TouchWiz 4.0 will sit on top of that), 8GB of internal memory, a 1650mAh battery and a 4-inch super AMOLED display. This one will only be headed to Russia for now where it’ll cost you 23,990 rubles to walk home with it. (That’s around $840 in US dollars.) Expect it to launch at the end of April.

The "Google Phone" sounded too awesome to pass up, so I bought a G1. The rest is history. And yes, I know my name isn't Wilson.

  1. That’s a great differentiator. But all the hardware features of the SGS line should be the same across all carriers so that there is just one software update to deal with instead of 4 for the US and another one for the rest of the world.

  4. It’s bad enough that Europe & Asian countries get all the new phones first, but Russia??? C’mon Samsung?!! Can’t you for once in your miserable lives release a new phone in the US without making us wait 5 months for it to be available here?

  13. Huh??
    We’ve got Froyo 2.2.1 and will be getting 2.3 in a few days in The Netherlands (EU) :)
    So what are you talking about?
    Samsung is doing a very good job in releasing updates for the Galaxy S GT I9000!!
    The’re even faster than the other phone manufacturers like HTC/LG/Motorola/Sony ;)

    1. Notice how you said “in The Netherlands”. LoL!! They don’t kare about the USA models. It takes longer for them to update the USA models. -_-

      That’s why I’m sticking to Vanilla Android. Easier to root, and easier to get updates. LoL!!

      1. Blame your carriers. Dont blame Samsung. They are the ones responsible for your phones updates.

        In Europe, there is no middle man to pass. Samsung sells directly to consumers.

        In the US, you have to go through a freaking carrier just to get your phones working.

  16. blame your carrier, dont blame samsung. samsung will update their phones if the phones are “100%” samsung (decision), as fast like i9000 update.
    if your phone from carrier (verizon, t-mo or something), that not “100%” samsung (samsung just got “50%” decision for this, and “50%” decision else from carrier), so blame your carier n push them to update their stuffs. thinks smart

  20. Modding is not anything I will ever do again. Takes daily management to the level I am not interested in.

    That said, this is a cool phone. I have the Vibrant, and with the official update to Froyo, I went from hating it to loving it. But this new “Plus” sounds much better.
