After Samsung announced an updated version of the Galaxy S2 last month, it's available in Finland today for €378.
According to Esphoneblog, Finnish tech retailer Gigantti is selling a Dark Blue Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus smartphones, with a white variant, "Chic White," expected to be available starting on March 1. The updated Galaxy S2 Plus (GT-I9105P) is expected to be the only S2 variant that Samsung makes available from now on.
The original Galaxy S2, which was released in April of 2011 and has since sold more that 30 million handsets, has a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display. It has a screen resolution of 800x480 pixels and a screen density of 217 pixels per inch. It has either 16GB or 32GB of internal storage, with a microSD card slot that supports up to 32GB of memory expansion.
It comes with 2 cameras, a front-facing 2-megapixel camera and a main camera with an 8-megapixel sensor, capable of taking 1080p video. Its 1650mAh battery supports up to 8 hours and 40 minutes of 3G talk time. The old chipset was a healthy 1.2GHz Cortex-A9 dual-core processor with 1GB RAM.
The new Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus is expected to come with an easier-to-manufacture chipset and NFC for better connectivity. A huge improvement is that it will come with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, updated from the now antiquated Android 2.3 Gingerbread that the Galaxy S2 used to come pre-installed with.
It will also have an updated Bluetooth and an updated GLONASS-supported GPS. However, internal storage is being lowered to 8GB on the new handset, so getting a new Galaxy S2 Plus at this stage comes with that tradeoff.
