It was announced today at a New York City press event hosted by Samsung that AT&T would join T-Mobile and Samsung in offering the highly-anticipated Galaxy S II smartphone. The device will largely mirror the international version of the phone, which debuted last sprint. It sports a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, and an 8MP camera capable of 1080p video capture. The phone is compatible with AT&T’s HSPA+ network.
While a naming scheme similar to that used for the Samsung Captivate was not announced (the AT&T S II has been rumored to go under the name Attain), it is still possible we will learn of a new carrier branding closer to launch. For now, the device is merely listed as coming in the next few weeks. Pricing details are not known at this time.

Thank you fucking j***** for the 4.3″ sorry for the curse
Weird. Noticing how the email icon on this one and the t-mobile one has a blue circle instead of red, along with a different messaging icon shows that the Sprint version is the one most similar to stock TW4. Wonder why they did that..
Looks like Sprint is getting the best version and getting it first. I guess the other carriers can suck on a Sprint [moderated].
And you can be prepared to suck on verizons [iphone] as soon as att finishes buying out tmobile.
U mad?
What did I likestake say that was moderated but deh2002 said cock.
Just curious lol.
Fixed xD
Sprint is also getting iphone so they will be evil, too.
it’s not the best, it’s huge and have fun dropping calls every 5 mins. Sprint is the worst carrier
Interesting that only Sprint names the processor as the exynos but not ATT.
I guess we shall see what the Tmobile press release says about the processor.
kinda pissed AT&T gets to keep the 4.3″ screen while T-Mo and Sprint have to get the 4.5″. really makes no sense. Guess we can all blame Sprint and T-Mo for the delay of the launch due to their insistence we all need bigger screens.
Who cares if ATT gets to keep the 4.3″ screen? Same form factor with a smaller screen… sounds like wasted real estate to me. I wish it was a 5′ screen.
buy a tablet then.
I own a tablet. A 7’+ tablet is not pocketable – 4.5′ is.
They do not have the same form factor. AT&T version is slightly narrower and shorter.
AT&T is the UK version with 4 buttons instead of a home.
How much more battery power does that .2″ use?
Wait so AT&T is getting 4G phone?!
HSPA+ or are you just trolling “4g”
by that standard..you think some carrier has real 4g…sorry to burst your bubble…nobody has true 4g..nobody not for a long loong looong loooong time.
Exynos???????????
This is bullshit!! they already have an LTE with a 2000mah battery releasing in europe!! it has a 1.5Ghz dual core. Why the [moderated] would we want this piece of [moderated]???? What a copout!!! Lets buy last years technology in a month!!
You don’t know what you are complaining about. HSPA+ on AT&T is nearly as fast as LTE. 1.2Ghz dual core Exynos is faster than 1.5Ghz dual snapdragon in LTE model and lastly it’s 1850mah battery there, not 2000mah. Also AT&T has only tiny areas with LTE.
Stop whining, be thankful your not on Verizon.
Verizon will be getting the droid 3
I don’t know why the [moderated] is wrong with everyone. It is just a major pain in the [moderated]
You guys kill me, first everyone complains about getting it so much later than the rest of the world. Now you know it’s coming so you complain about it not being up to date. What you fail to realize is that if you wanted it so badly you should have just ordered the international model like I did.
Always have to have something to whine about I guess. It’s still going to be the best phone out in N. America.
It’s only 4 months not 6 months old and is still the best out there. I agree deh2002
My question is, why is it thicker than the international version when it has basically the same specs?
id rather buy a tablet and i hate tablets
I just want confirmation that it’s exynos or not.
OMG. IS THIS ANE EXYNOS??? PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE HAD THE COMMON SENSE TO ASK THIS AT THIS EVENT. Thank you.
There wasn’t any news in the event about the sgh-i927, which is supposed to be like this one but with physical keyboard?
