Even though Samsung is fighting hard to respond to Apple’s attacks, it seems that the Korean company is still taking some time to launch new models.
A few days ago we told you that Samsung might be preparing some kind of successor for Samsung Galaxy S II, a smartphone that will come with a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, and will be sold under the name of Samsung Galaxy S II Plus.
We were almost right, but instead of receiving an upgraded version, SGS2 has received some kind of downgraded version. It was named Samsung Galaxy Z, and the model was seen in world premiere at the Swedish carrier Three.
Samsung Galaxy Z is like a hybrid between Galaxy SL (I9003) and Galaxy S II. The device comes with a 4.2-inch SC-LCD, replacing the Super AMOLED Plus from SGS2, and with a 5MP camera instead of an 8MP one like its bigger brother features. Samsung Galaxy Z can only record videos at 720p resolution and not Full HD, like the direct successor of Samsung Galaxy S does.
More than this, the processor of Galaxy Z is a dual core Tegra 2 of 1GHz and not the 1.2GHz Exynos on Galaxy SII. Not to talk about a 1.4GHz dual core, as early rumors reported.
There are also aesthetic differences, as the new Samsung device is 9.5mm thick (1mm thicker than SGS2) and weighs in 135g. Samsung Galaxy Z will feature 8GB of internal memory, but you can extend it with a microSD card.
The price tag of Galaxy Z is of about $630, making it pretty accessible and dangerously attractive when compared to similar HTC Rivals. As about the North American release date, we’re expecting it, too.
