When the Samsung Celox surfaced last week as a rumored 4G LTE variant of the Galaxy S II for Korea, we couldn’t help but get visions of the handset on Verizon. The main issue keeping us second guess a US release of the phone with a rumored 4.5-inch Super AMOLED HD display and 1.5GHz dual-core processor was the presence of the single hardware button found on international versions of Galaxy S devices. That hardware button was absent from the Galaxy lineup released in the US last year, and early leaks indicate the same will be true for Galaxy S II devices. So, could we still expect a Verizon release of the device codenamed Celox? New in-the-wild images of the handset are suggesting it remains a possibility.
The Celox has been captured in a set of pictures and clearly lacks the hardware buttons first seen in the leak from last week. While the carrier branding doesn’t give us any firm indication of a release outside of Korea, the one little hardware details leaves the door open. We’ll know soon enough.

hmmmmmmmm…first..:P
Nexus Prime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you’re not going to buy it, why does it matter when it releases? I’m fine with waiting. I’ve been waiting for the bionic since like march. A few more months won’t kill me at this point.
Sweet… day 1 DInc account becomes eligible for new phone in late December — choices are a wonderful thing!
Glad they removed the ALL CAPS pointless rant. Seriously though I have been waiting for the newest Samsung super device (what ever letter that falls under with their new naming scheme) for a while now myself. I have been sitting on a VZW upgrade since May and have another due in December. So here’s hoping to a dope device to last me till quad cores or the next generation of phones. At that point my wife will get this years super phone and I will once again re up.
