İncluded in its new Teardown Research Service, researching the market firm ABI Research has torn Samsung’s Galaxy S II apart to be able to analyze and test the components Samsung accustomed to build its newest flagship device.

“If you are looking to keep up with the latest technology in 2011, the Galaxy S II is a good place to start,” ABI Research’s report states, detailing the device’s major changes when compared to original Galaxy S as including the Exynos dual-core processor chip, a new single-packaged multi-band multi-mode radio from RFMD, a new CMOS-based antenna switch along with a lower-power XMM6260 cellular chipset from Infineon.

“Samsung started from scratch with this phone: almost every component is new,” ABI Research vice president of engineering James Mielke said in a statement. ”Its application cpu is the most powerful on the market at present. It is the first to use the Samsung Exynos 4210 dual-core application processor (a competitor to NVIDIA’s dual-core Tegra 2). The name Exynos combines Greek words for ‘smart’ and ‘green,’ indicating Samsung’s energy-efficiency goals for that design.” Mielke proves, ““Samsung took many risks by combining each one of these new technologies into one phone.

But ABI Research believes those risks will pay off; the Samsung Galaxy S II sets a new benchmark for nearly every category on which a smartphone is measured.”

A whole lot and strong Android devices are already out, but–by using our AndroidTabletPcReview.com machine–we can easily see the future of Android, and it looks awesome. Likely to arrive within the year are 3D phones, 4G speeds, and a shiny new Android OS.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (LTE)

The Wi-Fi-only Samsung Galaxy Tab may be debuting June 17th, but we are getting excited about the LTE version coming sometime this summer. Using its razor-thin design and crisp screen, this Android-based tablet is a worthy competitor to Apple’s iPad 2. Add Verizon’s blazingly fast LTE network in to the mix, and you’ll have a tablet that will be unequalled when it comes to browsing the net on the go.

Motorola Droid 3

Once the original Motorola Droid released in late 2009, it was the first in a new generation of Android devices. Now, nearly 3 years later, the upcoming Droid 3 is shaping as much as be a worthy successor to the Droid name. What with expected features such as a better keyboard, a high-res qHD display, and a dual-core processor chip, we can’t wait to obtain our hands on the Motorola Droid 3.

Note: The term qHD refers to a screen resolution of 960 pixels by 540 pixels arranged in a 16:9 aspect ratio. This quality is one-quarter of a full HD 1080p frame (thus the name) and it is three-quarters of a 720p frame.

The new flagship T-Mobile Android packages a 4.3-inch qHD Super LCD screen, 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor chip, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, 8-megapixel camera, 1080p full HD video recording and also the new HTC Sense 3.0. These features are almost just like both the HTC EVO 3D (sans the 8MP digital camera) and the Samsung Galaxy S2 (Super AMOLED display). With all three dual-core mobile phones running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, consumers will need to see if they like Samsung’s TouchWiz UI or HTC’s Sense.

The HTC EVO 3D will hit Sprint later this month as the Samsung Galaxy S2 is expected being made available in 3 variants (Sprint Within, AT&T Attain, Verizon Function) and will not launch until sometime in July earliest. On the side note, while the EVO 3D, Sensation 4G, Galaxy S2 are thought this summer’s biggest Android phones, Motorola has two devices up their sleeve for late summer that could take this title: the Motorola Droid Bionic and Motorola Photon 4G.

The HTC Sensation 4G costs $199 with a 2-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate.

Samsung Galaxy SAtinm, the programmer accountable for maintaining CyanogenMod on the Samsung Vibrant and Captivate, lately received a free Galaxy S 2 to develop for. Do not adjust your displays, you read it right initially: Samsung gave a phone to a CyanogenMod developer because they would like them to work with it.

It appears as if Samsung is starting to see the value of through an active development community on their devices, becoming the most recent manufacturer to begin working with these developers instead of against them. This does not mean Samsung will do this with every device, remember Carrier’s have a large say in how locked down they need their devices to be, but it’s great to see these first few positive steps from one of the world’s biggest Android manufacturers.

No official word on when nightlies for the Sansung Galaxy S 2 will start pushing out, but Atinm mentioned that severe development should start tonight.

Samsung Galaxy S 2South Korea’s largest mobile phone maker Samsung, the new flagship i9100 Galaxy S II homeland since April 29 are sold, more than 1 million by selling the “i9000 Galaxy S” in the record was broken as well as the fastest in South Korea managed to become one of the phones sold.

Samsung began marketing the Galaxy S II, which runs Android 2.3 “Gingerbread” on the 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Plus (Super active-matrix organic LED Plus) screen and 1.2GHz processor, April 29 in the home country.
Because the phone went on sale, it has been selling “like a hotcake,” in Korea, Samsung said in a press statement May 30. The company added:

It has been breaking every selling record relating to cell phones in Korea. Since its release on 29th of April, Galaxy S2 passed 100,000 sold in 3 days, and 200,000 in 8 days, and reached 500,000 sold after a fortnight. This fastest 1,000,000 sold record, in particular, shortens its predecessor Galaxy S’s previous record by a whopping 40 days.

That’s no mean feat. Worldwide, the Galaxy S line sold over 10 million units in 2010, whipping Motorola and HTC in Android handset sales.

IDC said Android helped Samsung double its smartphone share of the market, so it’s especially sweet for Samsung to sell 10 % of that figure in one country in a single month.

The Galaxy S II handsets are required to hit the U.S. this summer. If the product’s sales in Korea are any hint, Verizon wireless carrier, AT&T and Sprint should see solid sales figures for the phones this season.

Moreover, Samsung is already enhancing its Galaxy S III launch for early 2012. That’s what J.K. Shin, president of Samsung Mobile, told The Wall Street Journal at Computex May 30.

Shin also commented briefly on Samsung’s ongoing lawsuit with Apple, where the two companies are suing each other for various patent infringements.

“We didn’t copy Apple’s design,” Shin told the Journal. “We have used many similar designs over the past years, and it [Apple's allegation] will not be legally problematic.”

Samsung can also be gaining steam in Android-based tablets. Shin said Samsung is riding the Android “Honeycomb” horse exclusively for its tablet offerings.

The company will launch a 10.1-inch version of its Galaxy Tab tablet pc in June, the Galaxy Tab 8.9 later this summer along with a 4G Tab later this year, Shin told the Journal.
