Samsung Developing Galaxy S2 Running On Windows Phone 7

The idea of a Samsung phone with the specs of Galaxy S2 and running on Windows Phone 7 seems to be more then a concept. The guys at Bluetooth SIG have details of such a model which seems to be a successor for Samsung Focus, a popular Windows Phone 7 smartphone.

After Samsung bragged about selling 3 million Galaxy S2 smartphones in just 55 days, so there’s no wonder it’s rumored that we could have a Windows Phone 7 of the smartphone. Samsung Galaxy S2 running on Android OS is codenamed SGH-927. A new device with the codename of SGH-937 was registered at Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) with a Bluetooth profile specific to Windows Phone 7 Mango OS. A list of devices running on WP7, published on Occasional Gamer, includes a Samsung SGH-937.

Known under the name of SGH-i917, Samsung Focus is a little bit fatter than Galaxy S2, and now it seems that we will have to expect a SGH-937 Samsung phone, rumored to be the successor of Focus. Bluetoothe SIG has some clues that the new-comer will be running Windows Phone Mango, with a Bluetooth profile corresponding to Microsoft’s OS.

We remind you that Samsung Galaxy S2 is 8.5mm thick and comes with 1GB of RAM, 16/32GB of internal memory and a 1.2GHz dual core processor. We hope that the specs will be kept by the new model running on WP7 Mango, or at least those of Galaxy Z.

Unfortunately, a Samsung Galaxy S2 running on Windows Phone 7 will not be able to use the Exynos chipset of the company. The system requirements for Windows Phone 7 only include Qualcomm processors. But this doesn’t mean that the device will be thicker or less capable. We expect Samsung to keep the superb Super AMOLED Plus display and the thin case. As about the design, it will be a little bit different, an will have some other capacitive buttons.

Now all we have to do is wait for an official announcement
