PRESS RELEASE
Samsung's most powerful smartphone yet is now available in white in the UK
31st August 2011, London, UK - Samsung has today announced that its award winning handset the Galaxy S II will now be available in classic white, in retailers across the UK.
Simon Stanford, Managing Director, Mobile, Samsung UK and Ireland said: "Since its launch in May the Galaxy S II has been a huge hit with Samsung consumers. We always want to offer a range of products that suit different people and are delighted to now be able to give consumers the choice of the UK's leading Android smartphone in black or white."
Slim (8.49mm) and lightweight (116g) Samsung's Galaxy S II White runs on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and is super-fast thanks to its dual-core 1.2GHz processor. The device's exceptionally bright screen makes it perfect for watching movies and TV or playing games and looking at apps, with its ground-breaking ‘organic' LED screen technology, Super AMOLED Plus.
The Galaxy S II is built for multi-tasking, its dual-core processor makes switching between applications and loading web pages such as Google, Yahoo and YouTube quick, whilst superior 3D hardware means games and videos can be loaded and played with ease. What's more, there's immediate access to content and services such as catch up TV and movie downloads, thanks to super-fast connectivity and WiFi, with speeds up to 21Mbps which provides increased download speeds, and Bluetooth 3.0+HS which reduces data transfer times significantly.
The Galaxy S II White is available at all major retailers online and in store from 31st August 2011.
