Not content with having beaten its own record nearly four months earlier than it did with its previous bestseller, South Korean Samsung continues to give wings to its Samsung Galaxy S2.
The popular touch phone that has already earned the appreciation of being one of the best smartphones in the current park of terminals (if it is not the most complete and balanced, for many) adds new editions to its family with a couple of versions that insist on the profile of benefits that we know from the founding model, although with some other characteristic that further broadens, if possible, the interest it may raise in the public.
These are a couple of models that, to begin with, add compatibility with LTE networks to their connection profile. LTE networks are those that seem like an evolution of those used for high-speed 3G mobile Internet connections.
It is not uncommon, therefore, that they are called 4G networks. LTE stands for Long Term Evolution , and although they are not yet commercially available in Spain, the big three operators are developing tests in several cities in our country (such as Madrid, Barcelona and Malaga).
We point to the latter because the Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE will not be available within the national territory, at least, in the near future, limiting its distribution to Korea or the United States, where they do enjoy connections prepared for the devilish speed that this system promises (capable of developing, theoretically, a download rate of up to 100 Mbps, although in practice it guarantees synchronous connections of about 30 Mbps).
Technically, the Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE are very similar to the original model that went on sale at the end of last April. The design is slightly more oval than the Samsung Galaxy S2 that started this generation, and slightly lengthens the central start button (although the American model directly dispenses with it to finish off four capacitive buttons on the front with access to start, context menu, search and backward).
One of the editions of the Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE, in addition to equipping the LTE profile, expands its Super AMOLED Plus screen to 4.65 inches, also expanding the resolution to HD quality, developing a 1,280 x 720 pixel canvas (approaching the indexes that we will see in the Samsung Galaxy Note). In both cases, the processor remains dual-core, albeit with an improved 1.5 GHz power.
