Samsung Galaxy R

[Guest everett_psycho]

Hi All

Sorry if this is either A/ in the wrong place or B/ been mentioned before (searching for it returns loads of threads that have nothing to do with it). But does anyone know anything about this handset? Samsung have apparently officially announced it and released demo footage of it and are saying an "end of July" launch but there still seems to be very little official information shy of their press release.

For anyone that's not heard of it it's a cheaper version of the S2, it ditches the AMOLED for a 4.2 inch LCD screen and uses the less powerful Tegra 2 chip and generally saved costs by making most things a little bit lower spec (8gb not 16 and a 5MP camera). I think it looks nice and could be a good buy if the price is right.

More information on it here:
