We just got news that Samsung are working on a new hot Android smartphone called Samsung I9001 Galaxy S Plus. Packing a 1.4 GHz single-core processor and running on the latest phone-friendly 2.3 Gingerbread version of the Google OS, this Galaxy S smartphone should fill the gap between the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Ace in the company's 2011 portfolio.
Samsung is just about to release arguably the hottest Android smartphone of all times, but that's not enough for a company that aims to become the world's top cell phone manufacturer. To achieve that they should be have a device for everyone on offer and that's why the Samsung I9001 Galaxy S Plus comes into play.
Unlike the original Galaxy S, the I9001 Galaxy S Plus will come with a metal backplate.
We are not quite sure if this is the Galaxy S II Mini, which we met a while ago, but the specs resemblance suggests that it might very well be. Just like the S II Mini, which leaked through the O2 roadmap, the Samsung I9001 Galaxy S Plus packs a SuperAMOLED screen, a 5 megapixel camera capable of recording HD video and a 1650 mAh battery. Best of all, it comes with an all-metal back.
On the other hand the Galaxy S Plus screen is said to measure 4", while the Galaxy S II Mini was supposed to pack a 30.7" unit. Anyway both rumors point at a launch in April so we should find out pretty soon if Samsung has one or two new smartphones in store for us.
The estimated retail price of the Samsung Galaxy S Plus (which will be called Samsung Galaxy S 2011 Edition in Russia) is said to be 24 000 RUB, which converts to $840. This seems pretty unlikely though, considering that the pre-orders for the Galaxy S II start at $700.
