Despite 5 million sales overseas (and counting), the Samsung Galaxy S II has been rightfully hyped in the U.S.
Today, the company has finally announced the U.S. launch date, August 29th, with a press event slated for early in the day.
Samsung's new "superphone" has a 4.27-inch WVGA Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen, Android 2.3.4, a 1.2GHz Samsung dual-core processor, an 8.49mm thin chassis (at lowest), an 8MP camera with autofocus and 1080p recording, NFC support, 4G, a 2MP front-side camera and HSPA+, WiFi a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0+HS.
Furthermore, the device will run on Samsung's updated TouchWiz UI and weighs just 4 ounces.
It is expected to cost $200 with contract from Verizon and AT&T, and possibly Sprint and T-Mobile, as well.
