Samsung is officially launching the Galaxy S II today, though UK sales of the dual-core Android smartphone did kick off in the UK yesterday. The subject of a huge Media Day in Korea this morning, Samsung expects to ship the Galaxy S II on over 140 carriers in 120 countries worldwide.
As we found in our full Samsung Galaxy S II review, the 1.2GHz Exynos processor and Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen make for a potent combination. Surprisingly, though, the Galaxy S II particularly delivers on battery life, lasting for two days of heavy use.
Meanwhile, in Korea there’s a version of the Galaxy S II with an integrated DMB digital TV tuner – which adds 1mm to the smartphone’s thickness – and there’ll be various NFC and non-NFC versions depending on region. Samsung even went to the trouble of calculating the average length of the Korean thumb (58.6mm, if you’re curious) and reckon the 4.3-inch display is perfectly suited to one-handed use.
Where did you see Galaxy S II with an integrated DMB digital TV in South Korea? I guess there aren’t anyone.
There is this model:

But it doesn’t a Galaxy S II phone!
Ummm just to let you know, since I’ve been to Korea. Most if not all mobile nowadays including non-“smartphones” all have DMB integrated. Its like bluetooth to them. They get free TV on their mobiles everywhere, even in the tube. Its awesome.
Thanks for the answer!
We Brazilians mourn Samsung S Galaxy II will not bring receiver ISDB-Tb Digital TV tuner, because it was something we liked in the first generation Galaxy S! = (

Wish they would upgrade the resolution on these phones. The screen on this is bigger than an iphone but the resolution is still 800×480 while an iphone is 960×640. 🙁
